Do You Like Me? Check: Yes...No...Maybe....

Alright. I am feeling a little overwhelmed by all of what I witnessed tonight. I mean...I am having a hard time pulling my thoughts together because I feel like there is so much to remember! Ohhhh the drama! Another crazy thing is....I find myself REALLY liking so many of these guys....a lot. I think she has a solid group (minus a few (wes).)

Okay, let's start with the first major thing....Ed leaving. I am so sad Ed left, because I really liked him, and obviously Jillian did, too. But I don't necessarily blame him for going...if he was going to lose his job over it, then he probably made a good choice because there was only a 1 in 8 chance that we was going to get picked. She made it seem like he wasn't making her a priority (she got a little frosty about it all) and kind of patronized him by saying, "Next time you meet a girl you are crazy about, don't let work get in the way." Well, it would be different if he was actually in a ONE on ONE relationship with her!!! I mean, yeah, by all means, make your partner your priority. I thought it was kind of snotty of her to say when she had been making out with another guy in the hot tub, like, 12 hours earlier.

Next...Kiptyn Kiss. HELLO! Talk about a zoom lens, I think you could actually SEE them swapping spit. I am not complaining though, I still stand by Kitpyn...even if he did look kind of unattractive last week. What was up with that? Did they have a lighting malfunction? Because all the guys kind of looked ugly last week. They were back to looking nice this week- especially Kiptyn. She was SO giggly and silly with him, you can tell she adores him. Sigh. :)

Jesse was a doll on the glacier, no doubt about it. I starting liking him more and more in the airplane, and then he absolutely stole the show by playing around with her on the ice. I was a little biased against him since he wore that seriously ugly hat last week, but he redeemed himself this week and I actually like him quite a bit. I think Jillian liked him too, although she did seem a BIT hesitant to make out in the hot tub. Maybe she was worried about getting branded 'hot tub Harris' again.

Michael...Oh how my love continues to grow for this breakdancing fool. I find him hilarious and darling all wrapped up into one package. His personality is so attractive to me, I don't know what it is about him, I just find him to be SUCH a doll. I do think, that maybe his inability to really REALLY be serious might be his downfall with Jillian, but I am glad he is here still.

Jake is still darling. Why does she have to brand him as Perfect? Obviously no one in life is perfect, including Jake (he has to be hiding SOME flaw...somewhere....right?) and I don't think it's fair that this is what she would hold over him. In fact, I think it's kind of a cop-out. I am glad she hasn't let him go yet, hopefully she will find him to be more real over the next few weeks. He hasn't had much face time the past couple episodes, which kind of hurts me a little because he is so darling when you see him actually interacting with her. Hopefully Jake will get some more time with her next week.

Wes- Ugh, SUCH a jerk. Let's fast forward to scenes from next week when he BRINGS UP the fact that he is getting publicity from this show. Dirtbag!!! He is monotone and seems to have no personality. She claims to know all about his family, well why haven't WE been shown these insightful conversations? Maybe the producers are trying to make Wes out to be a slimeball, and they are succeeding if that's the case. Unfortunately he makes it into future episodes, it looks like a hometown date of some kind. BOO.

Robbie- I can't stand this guy. Don't ask me why, but he is just shady and wierd. He is Dave Jr. He needs to be sent packing.

Tanner- Seriously? He is still around? I am glad she didn't cut him last week for semi-ratting Wes out, but where is the connection? It's bizarre to me that she cut Mark instead of him.

Reid. Oh, Reid. I save Reid for last because....well......I have to say that I think Ried is the one who, um.....has the issues........on the overnight date. You know, the scenes from 'coming up this season in the bachelorette'. Yeah, I think it's Reid. I don't even know what to say about this except, well, that sucks. Especially to have it broadcast on national television. OUCH. He seems like such a good guy, but he isn't going to be able to live that down...I don't think....

I guess I should give a farewell shout out to Mark. He was an alright guy, but I am not to torn up to see him go. She made a good choice, if it wasn't Tanner. or Wes. or Robbie.....

I am sooooo interested to see how this season is going to end!! I think that next to Andrew Firestone, this may be my favorite season yet. Lots of drama and lots of really good guys. Love it!

I adore everyone elses comments and insights, so let me hear them!!!

Oh me, oh my. I love reading your insights.... well, you know how I feel. My first pick is hands down, Jake. I too, feel it unfair for her to label him perfect and hold it against him. Lame. Second would be Jesse. Didn't see the hat last week. Hm. I am glad you thought Reid is the one with the.. issues. Because it sounded like Jake's voice and I slightly panicked. LOL. Wes is way weird. Why is she not seeing this? Gotta love it.

You crack me up!!! Reading you blog makes me want to start a new addiction, but alas we don't have TV! Hope it ends well, keep me updated!

Maybe I was being Naive but I was thinking that the preview with Julian crying last week was because she figured out who had a girlfriend and Wes would be sent packing... boy was I off! I felt bad that Ed went home but one of the guys put it so well "you don't want to be looking for a job in this economy". Unfortunatly his brain outwon his heart but I think it was a good decision. Tanner is bothering me more and more every week. My opinion dont go out on a limb to tell Jullian that there are guys there with girlfriends if you aren't willing to spill the rest of the beans. If I were Jullian I would be wondering if he was telling the truth and where his loyalty really was. Guess we'll find out in the weeks to come! :)

or kiptyn!

Wes is so annoying. And it's super annoying how they make it look like there's so major drama with him every week - like the person being kicked off the train next week - and it's never him! Robby gives me the creeps for some reason. Weird that she hasn't sent Tanner home yet, maybe she just keeps him so he will fill her in on the other guys because I haven't seen any kind of attraction or anything between them (so not looking forward to him in his unders next week...). I could be team michael/jake/jesse/reid and be happy!

I am completely heart broken about Ed. :( He was my pick. He was soooo adorable. Im having a hard time picking one that I really like. Thats going to be tough.. YAY for reality tv!!

Weston and Nicole said...

yeah, I think I liked Robbie for ONE episode (the film one), but then it all went downhill from there. I FOR SURE think that the guys with the "issues" on the overnighter, is Reid too...it sounded like his voice, poor guy. The one thing I'm mad about is that Wes will be staying long enough to get an overnight date too...I recognized his voice reading the night card. Ugh. I don't like him at all. I'm bummed about Ed...they looked good together and he was so super nice!! I don't blame him either though. So anyway, it sounds like the last 3 guys are Reid, Wes, and someone else...my guess is Kiptyn or Jesse.

Love the insights - couldn't agree more with everything. Loving Michael, Jake, Kiptyn, Jesse...pretty much everyone but Wes (he seriously just makes me angry - what a douch!) and Robbie (I agree - total mini Dave...issues) Sad about Ed and Jillian was way too harsh on him - didn't like that at all.

erin and shaun said...

I think she was totally rude to Ed about leaving! Hello! She was asking him to lose his job for a 1 in 8 chance that they might have a long-distance relationship for 6 weeks and then break up! Come on! I am loving Kiptyn now and think he is my #1 pick at the moment. I am still laughing about how up-front they are about her sleeping with 3 guys in 3 nights! I swear it was a little more veiled in past seasons but not last season, and apparently not this one either! Whoever it is, all I can say is "ouch"! If it's not embarrassing enough on its own then lets put it on national TV. Can't wait to see what happens next!

Candi said...

I'm liking Kiptyn and Jesse...they're my favorites right now. I really like Jake but she just doesn't seem to be connecting with him as much now. He'd be a good Bachelor for next time though! :)

I think she's making good choices so far...the nail biting rose ceremonies are only a few weeks away!!!!

What have I been doing all day? Reading your blog. :) I'm so glad Katie told me about it. Love your thoughts about the show last night. I am very upset that Ed left (he was one of my favorites) and I'm absolutely mortified for Reid. I definitely think it was his voice. Yikes. Really love all the guys except Wes and Robbie. Oh, and Tanner. He's just too weird.
