Emily #5: Dubrovnik!

I can't write. I'm just going to stare at one of my favorite places ever. Travis, schmavis. He's just the nicest guy with the best attitude, but if you don't have a solo date one of the first four weeks, you're toast (see Alesandro. Clock's ticking for John, too). Pay attention to that city instead. Cats, check. Pigeons, check. Tile roofs, limestone and marble everywhere, check.

And for the group date...movie placement in...Scotland?!? Wha? We came all the way to Croatia for this? (plus, I've seen previews for Brave, and it looks better than stuff that usually ends up in the Survivor Theater--see Jack and Jill, Gulliver.) And now they're stuck doing Highland games in Croatia. Croatia deserves better. Kilts? Brogues? Ugh.

Ah, back to Dubrovnik for the evening. BTW, that street really does glow at night. Actual marble. Not a Hollywood lighting effect.

Some questions: Whatta ya say--Arie and Sean, final two? And what's it like in the holding tank for all the other guys while she goes on half-hour walks with each one? Is she getting tired of walking? How much lip gloss does she go through in one night? Do we need to add makeup touchup time to each of the half-hour outings before she goes out on the next one?


Now to Ryan's date and the pressing question: Has Emily given him enough rope to hang himself in one outing? Yes! That was one sweet self-lovin' monologue while he was getting ready. And I love the way he keeps talking about what HE wants from a partner through the date. Good spot, Emily. I think it would've been time for the guys to start questioning whether they want to be with YOU if you'd given this sleeze a rose. Love the reaction back at the house when his bag gets picked up. He's so narcissistic he didn't even read the GUYS right ("I've got some great relationships there. We'll hang out when this is over." I don't think you'll want to after you see what they've been saying about you.)

Another question: How much food gets wasted on these dates where no one eats? And one more: How do they manage the program schedule when she's kicking extra guys out (see Kalon's eviction last week) or sending both solo date candidates home in one night? Wait! We have an answer for that one! Hold a mercy rose ceremony where no one goes home. Simple!
