6/16/14: The Bachelorette - Ep 6

Good evening friends!!  It felt like a month since the last regular episode, but we finally get back on this train to find our one true love.  While everyone else in the world is wrapped up in the World Cup, I'm siding with this girl:


At the risk of offending some of my favorite people, I really don't care about soccer.  Go Brazil/Spain/America -- whatevs, it's not hockey so it's not on my radar. And what is soccer without Beckham?!  Psh, you lost any hope of making me a convert the minute he retired.

We catch up with our Bachelorette in France.  She apparently doesn't have any love for CT: "Marseille is so romantic and the perfect place to fall in love."  Hold the phone, you're telling me Connecticut isn't?  Snob.

Andi speaking French: "She my pal Andi" which is supposed to be "Je m'appelle Andi" ... she should have just said NO when Harrison asked if she speaks any French.  This is why they hate Americans!

Time for our first commercial break; lo and behold it's our first dose of Suave!  For those that haven't been watching this season, Suave is a major sponsor of the Bach franchise and every episode this season has provided us at home with some invaluable tips (and totally insightful conversations) on hair care -- brought to us, of course, by show alum.  We've been forced to watch as Des (the last Bachelorette), Catherine (Sean's wife), and DeAnna Pappas (from like 8 seasons ago) get their hair styled for some nonexistent date with their men.  Tonight did not disappoint - we saw Catherine and Des keep Andi company for her spin in the beauty chair.  Of course she was all giddy talking about how she might be engaged the next time she sees these gals, and Des tried to muster up every ounce of genuine support she could to say "Congratulations".  It doesn't touch my heart as much when spoken through clenched teeth, and I sense her thoughts were "my wedding better air before hers does".  LOL

While Josh is on his date we find out that batgirl Andrew is not only a gigolo but also a bigot.  I am wringing my hands in anticipation for how the girls guys will confront him with this.  I can picture his incredulous stinkeye now and je tiens à le frapper (beat that, Andi!).  But let's not get ahead of ourselves, back to Josh's date.  They boated around Marseille and had dinner at Palais Longchamps.  After dinner we're all forced to sit through another private concert. For those following along that's 3 already this season and we're only on episode 6 (5 if you don't count which last week which we don't). I still don't know who these singers are but he kind of looks like Jef with One F from Emily Maynard's season.  Good to see him again, he took Anal Emil's cue to earn some coin from the show when their relationships didn't work out!

Moving on we have our group date.  She makes the guys be mimes in the middle of the city.  'Nuff said - this is terrifying:

This is what nightmares are made of.

I.HATE.CLOWNS.  And mimes are the jailbird cousins of clowns, so I hate them too.  So creepy.

Man drama at the group date cocktail hour with confrontations between Lithgow and Cupee Doll, and Batgirl and Marquel.  Andi has intuition for tension:


She confronts each guy and gets to the bottom of the issues.  Summarizing it up Batgirl basically said he wanted to go home, Lithgow was totally FML on the entire date, and J.J. cashed in and got the rose.

Time for Basketball Brian's 1:1 date.  They watch a movie and try to cook frog legs for dinner -- it was so boring to watch and Andi is really hot and cold with this guy.  Moving on!

We are forced to skip the cocktail party to watch Josh Grobin push us to watch ABC's new show "Rising Star".  I don't get the new show and I don't care to.  So dramatic about watching a tv screen rise up on stage?  What??  We did get a sneak peak of "Bachelor in Paradise" though!  This show looks amazing - major train wreck disasters!  If there is enough interest I could be persuaded to add that to our blogging repertoire. LMK

Back to the show.  Tonight brought some shakedowns/shakeups (I could go both ways with it).  Andi did some soul searching and decided to make some serious (ie 3) cuts.  Tonight we bid adieu to the following: Patrick, Batgirl Andrew , and Marquel.  Just when Marquel started to wear suits that matched he gets sent home (did anyone catch his checked shirt with floral tie, and then a pocket square with colorful squares all over it???  That stuff does a number on my eyes and I couldn't take anymore of that.) Marquel didn't seem surprised, neither did Andrew - but Patrick cried.  The streak is not broken yet :)

To close I feel the need to catch everyone up to speed on Andi's catchphrase:


STAHP!  See you next week where we are heading to the sinking city of Venice.  Bring your waterwings!!
