Bachelorette #2

Sorry, I know it is late.  I will be better.  Had a great, but busy week and haven't had a chance to watch the show yet.  Oh, I just finished the Jon and Kate Plus 8 season premiere.  Do any of ya'll watch that show?  I have been keeping up with it since it started and it just breaks my heart.   When Kate was saying that parents of multiples have a way higher divorce rate and she wanted to beat those odds...tear...

Ok, now on to the Bachelorette!!!

Shocker...they open the episode with Jillian in a bikini.  I think this is a sight we need to get used too.  The men were introduced to their mansion...aka a bunk house.  I love that they do this to the guys.  Keeps it real.  There will be 2 group dates and 1 individual date.  On each date there will be a rose, if you get it the guys gets to move into the mansion with Jillian.  If the guy on the 1-0n-1 date doesn't get a rose, he goes home.  

Group Date #1: Michael, Brian, Brad, Sasha, Tanner P., Wes, Ed, Mathaeu 

The date starts at the pool.  Her first 1-0n-1 time was with Michael.  He just seems weird and girlie.  She totally left him in her room, mid-conversation to go downstairs to get the rose.  Tricky tricky girl...she leaves the mansion.  The whole time, Michael is waiting around like Rapunzel....Enter Mike Harris!  This date is finally getting fun.  Give the guys a competition. The guys pair up and jump into a mini coup.  They had to go through a bucket full of keys to open a lockbox to get their car key.  

I have to admit that I like Brian, the IT guy from Atlanta.  I am not a fan of the Tanner/Michael car.  They should get pulled over.  The car most likely to kill each other, Brad (love his tattoos!) and Wes.  The thing about this date, she is wasting all this time getting to know the guys by making them drive all over LA.  I have driven in LA and the traffic is horrible.  It is a big city.  I wonder how long this all took.  OMG...I just saw one of the guys wearing cowboy boots with his bathing suit!  So far the adventure has taken them to a kitchen where they changed in to tux, a jewelry store where they picked out a necklace, and finally to a bank vault where Jillian will be locked inside with her winner!  That makes me tired just thinking about!   

Ha!  The team I thought would kill each other, and were in last place most of the time, was the winner...Brad and Wes (the musician from Austin).  

Wes won!  Oh, the necklace Brad picked was my least favorite.  The necklace Wes wanted, the one with the balls, would have gone perfect with her dress!  I don't like Wes for Jillian.  There is something about him when he is talking to her that I just don't like.  Hmmm.  What do you think?  The clentcher for the loosing guys, the guys that lost got to watch the date on tv.  Wes got a rose and now he gets to move into the mansion.  

1-0n-1: Jake the commercial pilot from Dallas...I LOVE HIM!!!!  

Jillian picks him up wearing this fun strapless, short black fringe dress and red knee-high boots.  She looked so cute!  She takes Jake to a western store to get him a new outfit.  I like them, they seem so cute and fun together.  Awww, he just said, "Oh boy, I am gonna fall for this girl!"  Sweet!

After they get Jake a totally country shirt, they go to the House of Blues where Jillian pours them a drink and then dances on the bar!  He can dance too!  He is two-stepin with her!  This guys is great.  If she doesn't pick him in the end I might have to punch her in the face!  They are having great conversation and he totally just planted a nice kiss on her lips in mid-sentence.  Don't you just want a guy to do that?  To be so eager to kiss you that he can't stop himself...ahhh, how nice it must be to be Jillian!

Final surprise: Martina McBride.  They danced and giggled and in the end, he got the rose!  Oh man, they look like they are very kissing-compatible!  

Group Date #2: Jesse, Mark, David, Mike, Simon, Kiptyn, Juan

This date, according to Jillian, is for the boys.  They will be playing basketball with the Harlem Globe Trotters.  David, Mr. I-can't-get-the-words-out-of-my-mouth-when-I-first-met-you, seems like he lost his stutter and is a bit of a cocky-pants.  Oh, and what about Juan, who totally picked her up to let her dunk and then dropped her on her face!  Gentle butterfly my butt.  

Out come the HGT!  Man, they are good and they are tall!  And they know how to shake it!  I think it would be fun to go see them.  Hello...the HGT guy picked Jillian up and let her hang on the rim, then they left.  The bachelors just stood there, until Juan had to come redeem himself to get her down.  The HGT picked David to have some one on one time with her.  Man, he has tattoos too, nice!  

...Mike, just put on a speedo and jumped in the ocean...I am feeling like this date is lasting forever.  Now they are back at the house, or somewhere where they are taking shots.  Man, the guys do NOT like Juan.  I don't think I am a big fan of Juan either.  Now on to Kiptyn, never had his heart broken?  Interesting...  And then they kiss.  A lot.  Juan get the rose on this date for his speedo in the ocean adventure.

No Date:  Julien, Robby the bartender from TX, Reid, and Tanner

Rose Ceremony:  Jillian totally picked up on Tanner's foot fetish.  Uggg, I don't like Wes anymore.  Robby, one of the guys who didn't get a date, was having one on one time with Jillian and Wes, who already had a rose busted in on his time.  Jerk.  And are you guys picking up on how much aggression David has with all the guys?

The twist, thanks ABC, is that the guys get to vote for one guy to leave the house.  Remember when they did this last season to that girl who was kind of a potty mouth, well, she got a rose instead of getting kicked out.  Man, the guys are acting like sissies.  Suck it up and write down some dudes name.  

Juan was voted to get kicked out of the house.  BUT, totally stupid, Jillian can save him by giving him a rose.  Why did they even vote?  Of course she gave him a rose.  Whatever.

Going home: Simon, Julien, Brian, and Mathue (ahhh, he was getting teary.  Maybe he is on steroids. No, just kidding, he seems like a teddy bear under that tough, muscly body.)

So, here are my questions for you.  

Is David aggression just a guy thing or is it too much?

Do you think Wes is there for the wrong reasons and did ya'll pick up on his weird vibe when he talks to Jillian?

What do you make of Kiptyn saying he has never gotten his heart broken?
