This week, Arie and the girls travel to Paris, but I’m not
going to lie, it was a bit of a snooze fest.
Date #1:
- The last Lauren standing, got the first date of the week. She and Arie took a little boat down the river, and then later explored the streets of Paris
- Here is a picture of Lauren enjoying the date:
- They have nothing to say to each other. Lauren has zero personality, and they have zero chemistry!
- Arie resorts to bringing up cheese wheels.
- The date is rife with awkward silence and halfhearted “wows” by Lauren.
- At their supper portion, Arie drops a bombshell. His last girlfriend was pregnant with his child, but lost the baby and then broke up with him!
- Aaaaand I’m awake now!
- Lauren tells Arie that she was once engaged, but he didn’t treat her well, so she’s more guarded now.
- Apparently, that was enough “opening up” for Arie, and he inexplicably gave her the rose. I don’t know what he based that decision on. Thanks God she’s pretty, I guess.
- Becca K, Seinne, Bekah M, Tia, Chelsea, and Jenna go to the Moulin Rouge to learn some burlesque dancing.
- Ummmmm….did you guys know Bekah is listed as a missing person? https://www.buzzfeed.com/stephaniemcneal/bekah-bachelor-arie-missing?utm_term=.po63pB2WO#.jb26NVYMx Free spirit indeed.
- Once again, the girls were made to “prove their love” for Arie by embarrassing themselves on T.V.
-
- Tia is a terrible dancer and keeps flubbing the choreography -5 Points
- Since they were asked to wear thongs, there were some bums hanging out. Tia has hers blurred out twice, and Becca has hers blurred out once 15 Points x3
- Bekah won the group date rose (10 Points) and the opportunity to perform on stage
that evening. But did she call her mom first?
Date #3:
- And now for the main attraction of the episode. Kendall and Krystal go on a two-on-one date.
- Krystal is first up to bat, and she is so cocky. She gives Arie a lame apology for the way she acted the week before. He seemed to be naive enough to accept it.
- She said she didn’t want to change the “color, texture and depth” of their relationship. Girl, this is your (sort-of) boyfriend, not an art project!
- She should have just left it there, but she had to take it a step further, and start taking shots at Kendall. -15 Points
- She told Arie she didn’t think Kendall was ready for marriage, because she’s never been in love before.
-
- Then it was Kendall’s turn to speak with Arie. He told Kendall what Krystal said. Of course he did, because these are the things drama is made of…and what is the Bachelor without drama? A date with Lauren, that’s what!
- When Kendall returned to the table, she and Krystal exchanged heated words 10 Points each
- Kendall took the high road and attempted to have a heart to heart with Krystal. She told her “saying hurtful things doesn’t make you win. It means you just hurt somebody” But Krystal is a lost cause at this point. She’s so sure she has Arie wrapped around her little finger.
- In the end, Arie sent Krystal home -15 Points To be more specific, he just leads Kendall away, leaving Krystal at the table with a cold “bye”. Ouch! Krystal may have been a bully, but that exit was kind of cruel.
- Krystal sort of cried during her exit. I mean she did more breathy sighing than anything, but she did manage to squish out one crocodile tear. -2 Points
Date #4:
- Jacqueline is finally getting some camera time.
- Arie picks her up in a classic convertible 15 Points, which promptly breaks down 10 feet away from where he picked her up. This is not a good omen for their relationship.
- Arie bought her a dress and they went out to dinner.
- Arie told her, he was afraid she was too intelligent for him…I mean…I didn’t want to say it, but…
- Jacqueline talked about how she intends on finishing her Ph.D. which would take 6 years -10 Points
- Arie worries that their lives do not mesh, but in the end he kept her around.
Cocktail Party:
- I feel like I’ve been watching this episode for 9 years, at this point.
- Again, nothing of substance happens before the Rose Ceremony.
- Jenna and Chelsea were eliminated.
- They both cried -2 Points each
- Then right before the show ends, we see Lauren complaining to a producer about not being excited to go to Tuscany, and hating having to watch Arie date other girls.
