Let’s join the gang for a really rhymey episode in the
hustle and bustle of Brussels!
The guys appear to have had fun shopping together in their
downtime, picking up matching scarves to accent their outfits:
Marcus got the first 1:1 date. Andi: “The big
thing here is mussels, so let’s try some mussels.”
You mean, the muscles from Brussels?!

Sadly, no. They have lots of fun eating and talking,
and after it concluded Nick V. (Lithgow) decided to dupe the
unsuspecting hotel worker and finagle a copy of Andi’s room key out of
her. He pockets the key and knocks on her door for a little after hours
walk through Brussels – does anyone else wonder what he did with the key
after? Does he still have it? Did the producers take it from him,
or let it go and just say “hey, let’s see what happens!”? At least
they’ll have audio and/or video evidence if he ends up killing her …. Creep!!!!
Josh M. (McDreamy) gets the second and last
one-on-one date where Andi still doubts his sincerity but folds to his charms
when he tells her he’s falling in lurve with her. Hook, line, and
sinker! They then enjoy another private concert by some chick dressed
like a flapper and a guy.
Moving on to the dreaded group date. They frolic
around the Brussels countryside, huff and puff up some train tracks, and Andi
and Chris (The Bachelor Farmer) go to Pottery Barn! Oh, wait, it’s
not the store – it’s a barn where people do pottery. That’s not nearly as
much fun L They have a Ghost
moment while spinning the wheel:

Our first hometown date is awarded to Nick V./Lithgow.
I could hear the groans echoing through the television and throughout Bachelor
Nation. ISH. I really don’t understand what she sees in this
guy. Superficially speaking I totally get why she has kept the other guys
around, they are universally attractive. Nick V., however, likes to keep
his attractiveness under cloak and dagger. I’m still trying to find
it! Reminds of an episode of Friends:
Monica: [about Emma's new nanny, Molly] “What's the big deal
with her? Maybe she's attractive in an obvious kind of way.”
Ross: “Yeah, obvious beauty's the worst. You know, when it's
right there in your face. Me, I like to have to work to find someone
attractive. Makes me feel like I earned it.”
By the end of this season we will all feel like we’ve earned
it. I’d like to V8-pop Andi on her head to knock some sense into her.
No time for that now, so let’s glue some shards of
glass to our dresses and go to the cocktail party:
Dylan was freaking out, Chris threatens Andi with Iowa (as a
Midwestern girl that wouldn’t scare me, but I think our Atlanta/y’all chica is
a little underwhelmed with that idea), and Nick V. weaseled his way in to
Brian’s time with her and then turned on his crocodile tears in the
confessional. His tears looked more like they were smeared on with water
droplets than so much as naturally produced from his tear ducts. Ah,
sincerity.
After some edited tension we said goodbye to Dylan and
Brian. I’m not at all surprised, they seemed like easy casualties to send
home now. Nice guys, but no spark. They cried, Andi cried, but the
mood was lightened in the closing credits as we watched Dylan chase Brian
around with a pickle. I’m leaving that one alone, it’s too easy.
Tune in next week as we see hometown dates! Happy 4th
of July everyone!!
