1/20/15: The Bachelor - Ep 3

Week 3 – who’s ready?!

Before we begin tonight’s journey we have to celebrate 2 WEDDINGS:

#1:

Des and Chris made it official this past Saturday, tying the knot in sunny California.  No wedding pics released yet but they have the poe-tential to be amazing!

#2: The second congrats is to Shannon and Nick.  More to come on that later J

Ok, now back to present matters. 

ABC added a much needed dose of sarcasm and passive aggressive mockery by throwing Jimmy Kimmel in the mix to help our Bachelor Farmer this week!  He arranged dates, crashed dates, and had the best exit interview ever J  Inspired by Hollywood’s awards season, we’re going to try something new today and name each date with a movie title reflective of the events.  Ready?  Let’s go.

First date: Hot Tub Time Machine
This 1:1 went to Kaitlyn aka Miley (Cyrus – tell me you don’t see that!), and her and Chris got to do some wholesale shopping at Costco! 

They bought Jimmy some pants, more ketchup than any human would need in a 5 year span, and prepared for a tricycle BBQ.  Chris and Jimmy hit it off swimmingly (pun intended), and I guess the red lipstick our bachelor was sporting all night was evidence that he and Miley did as well.  The three capped it off with a little relaxing in the hot tub:


Group Date: Babe
The ladies were tasked with farm related competition events: shuck corn, retrieve an egg from a chicken coop, cook that egg, milk a goat, drink that milk, shovel some s*&t, and then wrassel a piglet.  Jillian demonstrated her Bionic (wo)Man skills by leaping this fence in a single bound:

Apparently her butt sticks out of every pair of bottoms she brought with her – perhaps Chris and Miley should have bought her new drawers at Costco too.

Our cruise ship singer Carly was victorious, but again didn’t really win anything but a blue ribbon and an “American Gothic” photo with Chris (was that the only artwork they could get the rights to use?  First Cupee Cody and now this … I sense a pattern).  I’d pass on those ‘prizes’ if it meant I didn’t have to drink that warm, unpasteurized milk.  *gag*

3rd Date: Wedding Crashers
Baby-making Whitney got this date, and her and Chris were whisked away for a picnic at a local vineyard.  While chatting and swilling, they spotted a wedding in the distance (the aforementioned Shannon & Nick).  Whitney proposes they crash it, and Chris is pink with barely contained glee (or maybe it’s just his shirt) at the thought of it.
giggle giggle giggle
 They quickly find suitable evening wear and a random gift, and they are off!  The producers kept a safe distance but used their super zoom lenses to watch the evening.  Chris is terrible at improv, while Whit seems to be a pro!  They chatted with the bride’s sister, her mom, and a bunch of other guests – enjoying the DJ, free drinks, a decent dinner, and posing as an engaged couple that are distant friends of the bride and groom.  Kudos to them, that actually looked like more fun than any date ABC would have arranged!


Time (already!) for the cocktail party.  Instead of the evening event Jimmy tells them to have a pool party instead.  I’ve never seen so many girls in false lashes, high heels, and full make-up for swimming.  Oh, and the headbands … count ‘em:


 Those will be some funky tan lines in the morning!  And KardAshley: that is sooo Kim K circa 2011.  Been there, done that.  What else you got?

Full disclosure: I was super irritated by Juelia Gulia this entire episode.  First there was her matchy-matchy lipstick/necklace/nails:

Then there was this eyesore of an ensemble:

Two brights made a wrong.  Pick one or the other – do not do both, it hurts.

And then I was distracted by the way she talks.  I can’t figure out if she’s just too aware of her matte lipstick and therefore over annunciates, or if she’s sporting some Invisalign and it’s giving her a speech impediment.  Either way, I fully acknowledge that I am heartless B for cringing during her entire sob story – I just wanted her to stop talking.

Anywho, we bid adieu to Tracy, Trina, and Amber.  Someone give this girl her teddy bear already:


Oddly enough this chick is still here:
HOW??? WHY???


My sentiments, exactly, Ashley S.  I’m confused too.


See you next week!!
