Episode 2 #5: The group date

Concern about West: He says he's nervous about being in Vegas, where he's never been before. Like, what, exactly, is going to happen to him surrounded by a camera crew? Get lost? Not know what to do when somebody puts a hooker card in his hand?

Into the dance crew gig--wait! Yes! I almost forgot the season subtitle: All About Ashley's Abs. Thanks for the reminder.

I think all the guys on the dance crew that got sent back to LA are right--they're all going to go home before anybody gets straight what their names are.

Cheryl, you dodged a bullet. There were people in that audience who paid full price to see America's Best Dance Crew and had to watch Ashley's Abs and a bunch of dudes who didn't know what they were doing. You were better off lying by the pool.

Now to the cocktail party:
Bentley, playing his assigned part: "I want her to know I'm better than all these other guys."

I appreciate West not being Emily and telling the widower story straight up. Weird for Ashley to say how glad he opened up to her, like she'd earned a special privilege of trust, when he's just knows not telling in this situation would end up being weird.

Not exactly sure where Bentley expects to go with knowingly portraying himself as the world's biggest cartoon jerk on national TV. What career is well served by this? And what is she seeing in him? Supposedly she's been "warned" by someone in that weentsy little circle of Bachelor/ette contestants and the people who date them, and he was acting like a 17-year-old jock jerk when they were talking together. Wait...that would mean...Ashley's a...reality show contestant?

  1. I wish Ashley would stop referring to herself as a dentist.

    And while I'm wishing, why does Bentley have to be so awful? There are no words. Why would you say these things on camera? It's really hard to believe that this is real. But I just can't see how they could be twisting those words... You're absolutely right about wondering about the purpose this is serving.

    Other than the heartbreak/outrage/disappointment/feelings for the group that had to go home early, I was fine with date #2.

  2. Kory: "That audience has to watch something that looks like it was choreographed by 7th grade student body officers."

    For being a dancer, they aren't really trusting Ashley with much dancing. But they are trusting her with plenty of strutting.

  3. Also, when the boys were sitting by the pool, they all looked freezing.

    Kory: "They’re not showing the guys spooning on the couches in the other shots to stay warm."
