The Bachelor (This is a TV Recap of this adventure) takes place in San Francisco and the fun is as eclectic as the city is engaging. And on the first date, Ben takes Emily O’Brien out on a one-on-one… and takes her out to scale the Bay Bridge. This is where we find out that Emily is terrified of heights, and we hear Ben say
“Relationships are all about trust.”
And they’re all about not forcing people to do things they don’t want to either Ben!
But Ben takes her to the top of the Bay Bridge anyway in this episode of The Bachelor. Then again, doesn’t the studio do an in-depth psych profile on everyone? And then they set Emily up for this super tall climb? Niiice. But then again Emily is confusing… she is a pursuing a PHd and yet she’s on this show.
Of course, while they’re out on their date, the ever so talented and intelligent batch of women back at the hotel somehow manage to just come across the two of them with a telescope. Right. Reality TV… oh, the concept.

Later, the girls pile out of the hotel room for the group date… and there’s one heck of a visual.. an awful lot of ho, I mean high heels climbing the streets of San Francisco. And what the f*! is a leap list? Is this the new bucket list? I’ve never heard of a “leap list” before this. Is this an ABC coined term?
Of course, this group date is an excellent opportunity for ABC to show women in bikinis skiing down the street. There was a lot of butt, long legs, teeny bikinis and but cracks. Nice ABC… nice.

Then Brittney decides this whole shebang is not for her and she jumps ship. Wow, someone with brains in the bunch!!! LOL. Plus, she was originally scheduled to have the 2nd one-on-one date later this episode. So plan B for the 1-on-1 is Lindzi! And all the other girls look so caddy when she gets the card.
Lindzi says she doesn’t kiss on first dates, but cameras, music bands, and well, it seemed that’s all they did. So much for that rule! “She’s never been on such a great first date“… of course not! No one else has had an entire network bankrolling their first date!
-
And as the evening cocktail party starts, we were watching this mystery woman driving into town, saying that she knows Ben… and he’ll fall totally in love with her.
Meanwhile, the inflated, overbite top lip girl.. I mean Courtney, seems pretty annoyed with everyone… still. She loves to start sh** with the girls then walk away from them before she has to interact from her first verbal volley. Piece of work… what a shame.
-
Then finally, the surprise girl shows up and Ben says Holy s***! She walks through the room and no one catches it until Shawntel (the funeral director from an earlier season) is more than halfway through the party. She has the hots for him and says that she’d like a chance and will let the Rose Ceremony to dictate their destiny.
Ben leaves her with the girls and wow… caddy, caddy, caddy. As a group, they said it’s not cool she gets a chance to date Ben… but they’re all there for the same reason. It’s cute.
-
To be honest, with all the name throwing, these women are belittling themselves left and right. It’s sad and you or I would not associate with such terrible mindsets in the real world.
-
Puffy lip Courtney gets the first rose in the ceremony and and calls Shawntel “What’s her butt.” And by the end of the Rose Ceremony, Ben does not, NOT, give out the final rose.
In the end, after all the drama that was advertised, Erika Uhlig*, Jaclyn Swartz head home. Brittney left already and Shawntel never sees the red of a rose pedal, despite all her self-bravado that Ben feels the same as she does.
*: Psst… Erika takes a dive and passes out during the ceremony. While she’s sitting on the ground, she gets the expert advice from one of the girls to breathe… Oh thank god. Courtney says that this is all Shawntel’s fault.
The biggest cad move of the night goes to Puffy Lip… as Ben walks out Shawntel, Puffy Lip calls out “See ya!” and laughs.
WHAT A CLASSLESS PIECE OF WORK! Seriously? She acts like she’s won this thing already and it’s beneath her to suffer all this noise.
===
Shawntel does the ‘crying on camera interview after the fact’ and says she didn’t expect to go home so soon… but she only showed up with a small, rolling suitcase. You do the ‘dramatic’ math.
===
OK, well, I sat through another, most exciting rose ceremony ever, on The Bachelor. Next week, they head to Utah. Wow… will this group be allowed in the state?
