Another wonderful night of the Bachelorette was brought to us last night. It included two one one one dates where neither man received a rose -- has that happened before???
First of all, I just want to say that I love all of Emily's glittery, sparkly outifts. Definitely a woman after my own heart. She wore a glittery top at the beginning of the episode; she wore a glittery jacket on the group date; she wore a glittery black dress on the night portion of the group date; she wore a glittery one shoulder gold dress on her one on one date with Ryan; and she wore a white and silver glittery dress to the rose ceremony/cocktail party. I love it. It really makes me want a long sleeve black glittery dress...so if anyone finds one...let me know where to get it!!!
Emily's first one on one date was with Travis. All we really know about Travis up to this point is that he likes to laugh and have fun. He has really just reminded me of a big kid during all of the episodes. Travis states that him and Emily share a ton of things in common -- LIKE WHAT? We really know nothing about this guy and this is their first real date. What do they have in common? They are both blonde. They both smile a lot and are from the south. Is that what he is talking about? Then he goes on to say that he hasn't felt this way about a girl in two years when he was engaged. REALLY? You feel the same way for Emily after knowing her for a couple weeks and not even going on a real date with her as you did for a girl you were engaged too??? Makes no sense. But hey, this is the Bachelorette. Everyone falls in love in two seconds.
My favorite line from Emily on this date was when Travis was trying to balance on that wall. She says, "I'm really bummed Travis didn't take his shirt off...and I gave the perfect set up for it." She just really wants to see what Travis has under his shift to see if he is manly enough for her I guess. My favorite line from Travis on this date was when he said "This is a 10 on a scale of 8." Wait a second...who rates things on a scale of 8???
I did enjoy watching them dance in the streets - definitely something I would want to do - and it definitely showed the playful side of both of them.
At dinner, Travis pointed out what I have always wondered about these one on one dinner dates - do they ever actually eat the meals in front of them? We always see these great looking meals, but we never see them actually touch the food. Do they have to wait until the cameras are not looking at them to take a bite so that Emily doesn't look unlady like or something? Does the guy only get to eat the food if he gets a rose? That seems kind of harsh. But yeah, Travis says..."Hope you weren't hungry because we haven't had a bite." Basically, Travis, don't expect a meal that you can actually eat when you are on a date with Emily.
Emily decided not to give Travis a rose because she only felt a friendship with him and didn't feel the romance. Romance is definitely a must in every relationship, but I mean, this is their first real date and Travis is just a fun guy who maybe isn't as quick in the romance department. It just kind of sucks for him because Emily's relationships with the other guys has moved along a lot quicker. It really all just depends on when you get your first one on one date. If you are one of the last ones, you probably are going home because the girl already has feelings for the first five one on one dates she had. So as Travis says it "sucks with a capital S-U-C-K-S."
The group date included Arie, Doug, Sean, Jef, John "Wolf," and Chris. This date seemed like a lot of fun. First, they went to see the new movie Brave. Not sure if the guys really enjoyed the movie since it is a kids' cartoon movie and they really didn't get much time with Emily on the date as she sat next to Chris and Jef for the whole thing, but the guys did keep comparing the movie to how they were competing for Emily.
The fun part was watching the guys get ready for the Highland Games. Of course, ABC had to show us the guys taking their shirts off and showing us their boxers as they got ready for the manliest outfit ever - a kilt and a tank top. Yes, well at least the tank top got to show off their guns. I loved how Chris stated at the beginning that he would be the bravest man at the games...and he did indeed show Emily he was brave by being the worst at all of the games but still putting forth an effort and taking on the strongest guys.
Some of my favorite quotes during this part of the date:
1. Arie - "last week it was a dress, this week it is a kilt"
2. Jef - "love takes bravery and wearing a kilt is just one of those brave things I am going to do" -- oh so brave.
3. Sean - "the rose is a little more important than a bravery cup." I think he was a little bitter that he was the best at the games but Chris who was the worst won the bravery cup from Emily.
I love how Emily makes it completely clear as to which guys she is really into. She tells Sean that she does not want him to leave feeling like he doesn't know where he stands with her. Basically she is telling him that he is safe this week and to not stress over her feelings for him because she loves him.
You can also tell that Emily is totally into Arie. When they were walking down the street she told him that they needed to walk really really slowly and look in every single store so that they could spend a longer alone time together. Then them making out against the wall was an idea on Arie's part to make it last longer. Good call Arie.
The other guy that Emily is really liking is Jef. He feels great after getting over the "hump" of kissing her last week...and apparently he is really over it as they made out during their alone time.
Chris goes out on a ledge during the group date by telling Emily that he feels like he could fall in love with her and love her forever. He says that if she chooses him he will take it and run with it. And he "promises it will only get better." I think he is concerned that he has been in the shadows lately and not really had much quality time with her lately. Well, his comments worked for Emily because he got the rose on the group date. And I loved how she said she was not going to make eye contact with the rest of the guys on the date when she went to grab the rose from Chris.
The last one on one date for the week went to Ryan. Chris tells us that Ryan plucks his finger hairs -- umm that is totally weird. Ryan of course gives the best quotes of anyone on the show:
1. "The world is our pearl, wait not it's our oyster...you're the pearl"
2. "You would be a pretty great promise - a trophy wife" "Every man should believe his wife is a trophy" To which Emily responds: "Trophies don't talk back"
3. "Got on turquoise shoes tonight to impress you" - REALLY??? Who does that impress? We see them at the end when he walks away...definitely not impressing me.
4. "How you gonna say you don't want to be a trophy wife and come looking like that." To be completely honest, he dress was very gold and trophy like.
Emily finds Ryan endearing and fun, however, she also feels like she has to be perfect around him because he is judging her. She also doesn't like all his comments. My favorite part of the date was Emily looking completely grossed out by the oyster, eating the oyster, then spitting it out and telling the oyster man that "it was so good." Yeah, right.
Ryan is completely shocked when he doesn't get the rose and he gets emotional and keeps trying to convince Emily to give it to him. Emily does state that this is the first time she is not 100% confident in her decision. She needs to remember how she felt a couple weeks ago when she said that she knew Ryan was trouble and playing a game. Besides, she has some great guys left at the house too.
A great line from Arie - "If Ryan is the next bachelor, then the bachelorette is a mirror"
Arie then shows up at Emily's place to check on her. He says it was hard to find her...ummm...did he just start knocking on random doors? I doubt it. The producers probably just showed him where to go. The cameras were following him. Emily really likes him and she gives him the rose that was from Ryan's date and tells him he now has an extra one but he has to hide it. So basically Arie knows he is safe this week. Thus, Emily has basically told Arie, Sean, and Jef that they are all safe this week...and Chris has a rose. So the only two on the block are Doug and John "Wolf"
In the end, Emily decided to give out an extra rose so that no one else would go home.
My top guys are Sean and Jef. Doug is kind of getting to be too humble and thinking all the other guys are doing better. Arie just seems off to me at times. John - I really know nothing about except that he really loves his grandparents. Chris - I am unsure about. He still seems kind of young at times for Emily, which I know he will hate to hear me say.
Honestly, we really don't know much about any of the guys. All they do is say how much they love Emily, put the other guys down, and make out with Emily. So, hopefully we will get some actual conversations in the coming episodes that give us more depth to the guys - at least during the home town dates for sure.
