Mmmm...Bermuda. So beautiful, so close, so expensive, so overbuilt. Those things are all connected, right? Shoot. I'm still trying to figure out how to get that job as a Bachelor/ette producer, flying around scouting all these luxury locations.
SingleDadDoug's date: I actually liked their dinner conversation, where Emily poked at a shell she thought was there, and then realized she'd been going about things wrong. Pretty evolved. But then that whole awkward staring business while he refused to give her a kiss...he might not get too far after all.
BTW--all this worry about who's on the two-on-one date? I think the
ones who aren't on the two-on-one need to acknowledge that Emily isn't
even quite sure who you are.
Miscellaneous Men date: Always gotta feel for the half squad that goes home after a competition. Especially when one of them cries. And for poor Jef-with-one-F, who, even though he was on the winning team, looks and sounds like a 14-year-old. Apparently, though, Emily wants kisses from everybody, and most of the men are afraid to do it. Including (surpirse!) the 14-year-old. Next: Ryan the sports trainer continues to be a tool. Next: Jef rocks the pity-rose on the hoodie.
The two-on-one, who-are-you-again date: My advance pick is for the "data destruction specialist" to go home. Take an accountant over a guy that drives the shredder truck any day. But at dinner...no, Emily, it isn't the rose that's making the evening awkward. Math is the problem. As it usually is. And see how it can hurt you in the end? I had a 1-out-of-2 choice and was wrong. Dumb numbers.
The cocktail party: Love the ominous stalker music while Arie is approaching Ryan's EmTime. Arie didn't need to bust in, though. Ryan's self-lovin' sleeze factor is plenty high enough for Emily to pick it up on her own. And did he seriously say all that stuff WITH CAMERAS ROLLING? "I'm meant for bigger things." "I'm a catch." "If I was the bachelor, I'd open up my heart so there'd be heat for everybody to see." Casting this one was easy. But then...oh, Chris, with the age insecurity. Can't let it go, and is therefore PROVING himself to be immature. You can't make this stuff up.
NEW THING: I like the extended "what are you thinking" time with Chris. Hope that continues. This is meant to suggest she's keeping Ryan around just to play him like a fish on a line. Is this where I start liking Emily more? Add to that the mercy cut of Head Wound Charlie and Emily scored some points. You go, girl.
I SO loved reading your Bermuda review. I love the fact that she is keeping Ryan around for comic relief as well - oh he is awesome in his cluelessness. I couldn't believe she wanted to kiss the 14 year old from SLC so badly!:)
ReplyDeleteMaybe her wanting to kiss Jef-with-one-F got a little less surprising when I saw in the preview that she's happy to use Ryan "some guys think they're pulling one over me" as a make-out partner as well.
