We had our first taste of normal life in the mansion last night, and I must say I’m impressed with JP but as scared as ever for the unstable bevy of beauties on the show.
The episode felt like it started half-way through because there wasn’t the usual fanfare of date card reading or squealing as non-pregnant Clare got ready for her date. JP blindfolded her and took her on a winter wonderland date, complete with ice skating, faux snow, and of course a hot tub. She laughed and cried and had a gay time in her bikini in the “snow” (send her here in that ensemble and we’ll just see how much fun she’s having then) while JP seemed a little bored. But maybe that’s his content face – I’m not sure, he kind of always looks pleasantly oblivious. They were also serenaded by some dude that I don’t know – I don’t think I’m young/hip enough to know who Josh Krajcik is, but I don’t feel I’m missing out on anything. The second date was for Kat: she was whisked away on a pj to Utah for the Electric Run. It looked like a rave-on-the-go, but the glow sticks were pretty! Both ladies secured a rose and a spot in next week’s episode.
The group date was a photo shoot with rescue dogs for charity fundraising, complete with a photographer channeling Caesar Flickerman from The Hunger Games:
Do not adjust your tv screens, his goatee really is teal. Brave choice, man.
There was drama due to the available wardrobe assignments (nude or dressed as a fire hydrant? I feel like that is symbolic of the moral dilemmas this show tackles) but I don’t remember much else; the dogs were too cute so I didn’t really care what was happening with the girls. Oh, except Free Spirit Lucy has no problem being naked everywhere, all the time (quelle surprise said no one) and I don’t think she brought any shoes with her as she had to borrow a pair for the date.
The drama kicked into high gear at the cocktail hour after the group date. JP was making the rounds chatting with the ladies, very unaware of the fact that Victoria was “not” drunk, “not” twerking in the pool alone, and “not” having a major mental crisis. Totally unprovoked she flipped out and said she wanted to go home (she had to slow her roll though because the producers wouldn’t let her leave without shoes … what is it with these girls lacking footwear??) I think she thought that the bathroom stall was a tardis a la Doctor Who because she kept running in there trying to go home. Thankfully the producers banished her to a hotel room for the night, where we saw JP dump her the next morning. This is where he earned major points in my book for being mature because he basically told Victoria that he’s too old to deal with her shenanigans and he has a daughter to think about --- a big round of applause for that reality check!
The rose ceremony was pretty uneventful – 2 ladies were heartbroken to break up with our bachelor and cried on their sequin dresses all the way home. Molly the dog was still on hand, though – is she there for the full season?? One of the many questions I have that was left unanswered this week.
Tweet of the night: I’m pretty sure this is the casting call for the show -
Spot on!
