I need, I need, I need...quite a list she's generating there before the date. If Ben knew that he might not be saying "I could spend the rest of my life with her." No you couldn't. You could sure pick her at the end, but there's no way on earth anyone could spend a lifetime with her.
Courtney's wondering about whether she can introduce him to her folks, which makes me suddenly wonder...she has folks? I guess I just assumed she was spawned. She doesn't want to dump a bunch of stuff on him, but "I need to."
Wait! Date metaphor! Every step on the pyramid is like a step in the relationship. Awesome. Especially when you take it all the way and appreciate that going back down is a nightmare.
Does anyone over the age of 14 handle her own hair as much as Courtney does?
Hah! Did you notice her saying "I have a lot of guy friends"? Dude, that's a red flag:

Batch Ben #7: Emily's date
Forget Ben & Emily. I just want their day on Caye Caulker, strolling around town barefoot on the sugar sand, jumping in the water and diving for lobster. Especially as I sit here with a blanket on my lap in mid-February.
Emily loves that he's "so spontaneous." Funny quality to pick out, when absolutely everything is arranged for on this show. Who can know how spontaneous he'd be when it's up to him alone to arrange and pay for everything?

BatchBen #7: First up--Lindzi's deyt
Yn onnyr uv Lindzi's deyt Aym goyne tu myspehl evrethyng. Wyth lahts uv thuh Ys shi neyds.
Exhausting. Anyway, decent digs in Belize. I think the Bachelor producers need to apply their talents to a travel show.
Estimates, please, on the degree of Lindzi's wedgie from the helicopter jump. And if we're going to use the date activity as a metaphor (if? if?), then do leaps of faith give you wedgies, too? If so, where? She's actually growing on me to the I-think-she-could-do-better degree. And I think Ben likes her easy, can-do, happy attitude, which earns him a smidge of credit.

BatchBen #6: Exploitively manipulated?
Did Kacie S. have any idea what happened by the time Chris shut the limo door on her? It seems like she got talked into realizing she was still in love with her ex, then talked into the idea that she really wants to be with him, then talked into thinking her feelings were getting in the way of the current relationship, then...blah blah, and you belong at home. No cocktail party for you.
Whoa! Talk about your mood swings! Last we saw Courtney, she was in a deep depression over Ben not coming to her room; now she feels "pretty awesome" about tonight.
Are we all REALLY uncomfortable during the Jamie kissing scene? Could this possibly be going any worse? She showed better instincts about her prospects: "I think he's done with me." The saddest part? "I've never known anyone like Ben before." Oh, come on. I think tonight he's amply proved that he's just your average lowdown dirty dog.

BatchBen #6: Exceptionally tense double date!
So it turns out that salsa dresses are really just kinda bulky on the bottom.
What else is there to say? This was only ever going to be really uncomfortable and tacky. And Blakely's stalker scrapbook isn't helping. Though it looks like the little kitty in the street was super-sad to see her go.

BatchBen #6: Explorationally annoying--the group date
Can't blame Ben for that. I'm the one who made that one up.
Is everyone done thinking well of Ben? I think he's keeping Courtney around just for the ogling. Nothing serious in his head there AT ALL. But as long as she keeps taking her clothes off, she stays. I'm sure his future final choice won't mind that at all. For her part, Courtney continues to prove my assessment from last week: she's too in love with herself for anybody else to ever reach that level of devotion. Thank you, Bachelor producers, for scoring in evil music whenever Courtney walks through the shot. Shame on you, Ben, for not getting up and walking away when Courtney put on her bikini pose show right behind a conversation with another woman. Perhaps the best way for anyone to get to know a man is to throw him into a houseful of women and see what happens.
Courtney, do you SERIOUSLY not know why men are so into you at the beginning and then seem to fade away? Tip: DON'T GIVE IT AWAY. And you'd seem a lot savvier about men if you didn't scorn women who actually understand that.

BatchBen #6: "Expotentially more important"
That's from Ben, upon his arrival in Panama. I think it's a cross between "exponential," as in "really a lot," and "potential," as in "who's gonna gimme some"? Kacie B., apparently, is one he believes has "potential."
To the deserted island! But...do these people not understand the word "alone"? If you're with a camera and sound crew on an otherwise deserted island, how are you "alone"? And I didn't realize that there are so many important relationship symbols could be found in playing around with coconuts and fishnets.
