Bachelorette: Week 2


Let’s get right to it.

1st date card: Ryan gets a one on one.  What the heck is going on with your weird bed head, dude? 

Gratuitous muscle shot of the dudes by the pool…Emily comes out to get Ryan.  Their date is to unload groceries at her house?  Hahahaa!  Sucks to be you, Ryan.  No helicopters for you just yet…you get to bake cookies instead.  Not gonna lie, he kinda looks annoyed.  Crap…now I want some cookies.   Ryan doesn’t get to meet little Rickie just yet (good call, Emily).  Emily then psychs out Ryan by saying next that they’re going to Chuck E. Cheese where he’ll wrangle up a bunch of sugar hyped 6 year olds…I think he was legitimately a bit terrified (who wouldn’t be though?).  But she was just joking, b/c they’re going to dinner instead.  As they drive off, it still feels a little awkward/forced. 

Ryan looks a lot more comfortable on his date.  Ryan, I seriously want to smooth your hair back down.  It’s driving me nuts.  Emily is actually being pretty brutally honest…she doesn’t want to be a prize to be won.  This date just got deep. 

2nd date card:  Group date!  Alejandro, Nate, Alessandro, Tony, Michael, John, Jef, Charlie, Kyle, Chris, Darren, Stevie and Kalon.  Kalon says he “embraces the stage”…are we surprised? 

Back to the Ryan date.  Emily says she’s a little afraid that Ryan might be “too perfect” like Brad was, but she’s willing to take chances and gives him a rose.  And then they go outside for Gloriana to play them some music while they’re dancing on an elevated stage surrounded by a bunch of Charlottonians taking pictures and videos of them.  They say some cheesy stuff about not wanting to be anywhere else in the world with anyone else, blah blah blah.  Hokey Bachelorette junk.

Group date time!  They’re doing some kind of charity performance for her ex-fiance’s foundation or something like that.  Charlie seems to be really freaked out by the idea of performance.   Hooray, the Muppets are there! J  Who doesn’t love the Muppets?  Tony is doing his best Kermit, which is kind of creepy actually.  He sounded more like Miss Piggy.  So a group of guys are doing a dance, others are doing a song, and still others are doing stand-up comedy (including Charlie).  Charlie has some SERIOUS stage fright…I’m guessing the old head injury has something to do with it?  So he goes to talk to Emily about his fear…he explains he’s still having speech issues to work through after his accident, so Emily lets him switch acts. 

It’s go time!  Folks dance, it’s silly. Chris Harrison fills in for one of the two heckler puppets.  It’s pretty terrible.  Kyle and “Wolf” try to make jokes (and it’s pretty terrible).  Miss Piggy has some of the guys (Jef, Charlie, and Aaron) come up on stage for her “Miss Piggy Live” talk show.  Aaron has to make up some dumb poem, Jef has to propose to Miss Piggy, and Charlie is intimidated by a puppet.  Charlie had to say how he’d impress a girl, and he does a good job, despite his fear of a pig puppet.  Rickie gets to come up and sing a song with her mom and Kermit and Miss Piggy (Rainbow Connection, obviously).   Then everyone comes out and sings the Rainbow Connection for the big “finale.” 

The “after party” consists of the guys vying for Emily’s attention.  Chris has some MAJOR competitive drive…and Emily needs some eyes because she thinks Chris is SUPER cute and I think he looks SUPER smarmy.  Emily is now crushing on Jef pretty hard.  Is he really 27?  Because he looks like he’s 12. 

3rd date card: Another one on one…w/ Joe.  Joe the dancing fool with brushed back wavy hair.  Dumb hair. 

Back to the date…Stevie is dancing w/ Emily…now Kalon comes in and cuts in.  Kalon is a smooth talker and he feels suuuuuper rehearsed.  Then Aaron comes and steals Emily away from Kalon.  Now Stevie and Kalon are having a little tension…Kalon tells Stevie “I wouldn’t like me if I were you either, bro”…good grief.  Jef gets the rose on the date…which is funny because he was kind of stand-offish the whole time I thought.  Apparently Emily likes the chase a little bit too. 

Second one on one date:  Joe gets to go to West Virginia w/ Emily, to the Greenbrier (resort type thing?).  Joe’s hair bothers me.  Can you tell I have a hair issue?   They take a little dip in the pool. 

Tony and Doug tell the dudes back at the house that they need to be careful and make sure they’re ready to be a step dad, b/c Emily’s daughter is the most important thing to her (as they are the dads in the group, they are in the know).  Kalon then tells Doug that he (Doug) has put being a dad on hold by coming on the show, to which Doug immediately gets up in arms about.  While that was something Kalon definitely shouldn’t have said, I think ANYTHING that the Houstonian d-bag says will be immediately attacked by the group b/c he’s basically pissed everyone in the house off by just being his d-baggy self. 

Joe and Emily are going to a nice dinner, where Emily will ask some more hard hitting questions.  Joe says on two different occasions, “There’s nowhere else I’d rather be.”  Emily asks Joe where he sees himself in 5 years and in his rambling he says he’d be willing to start a life with Emily wherever she wants to be, to which she asks “What does that mean?”  (She’s making these guys think, I like it).  Ok, so now she has to tell Joe goodbye b/c she doesn’t feel that spark (how can she when that mop is on his head?).  She gets all teary because she has to reject him.  Sorry Joe.  Now she watches fireworks on the balcony alone.  Boo hoo.

Cocktail party time!  Aaron is wearing his stupid fake glasses.  Arie reveals that he dated a girl w/ two kids and she acts like a school girl who’s nervous on her first date.  Tony goes in to steal Emily away from Ryan (who already has a rose), but Ryan gives Emily this letter that she has to read aloud back to him while Tony is standing there, chilling, waiting for his turn.  Awwwkwaaaaaard.  The letter was 7 pages long.  How did she not fall asleep while reading this letter?  I hope his spelling and grammar were decent b/c seven pages of that would be brutal.  Now Tony’s going on about his son, playing the kid card.  He now feels like they have a connection (yeah, that they both have kids).  Kalon has her now and he’s explaining that he’s an old soul or something like that.  He says he normally doesn’t make a connection with girls his age (so he’s someone who likes cougars?) because they have different “interests.”  All the guys basically reiterate that they kind of hate Kalon. 

Rose ceremony time!  Kalon (ugh), Arie,               Michael, Nate, Sean, Chris, Doug, Travis (who the heck is Travis??), Tony, John, Alessandro, Charlie, Alejandro and last but not least, Stevie.  Really?  Stevie?  Oh well…Kyle and Aaron w/ the fake glasses are going home.  Sorry dudes.  Better luck next time! 

The end for this week!
