Chris Harrison really laid down the hammer on this week’s episode by announcing within the first 10 minutes that three women would be leaving THAT morning. Unfortunately for the non-coupled-up women, it was the men who were able to decide which women would go home. This meant that Nikki, Ashley, and Gwen were out. So, with little fanfare, they got in their separate limos and headed off into the sunset. Always the sweetheart, Elizabeth quipped, “I could very well be in Gwen’s shoes one day – In my 40’s and still wanting love to find me.” Zing!
Elizabeth & Kovacs:
I’m starting to agree with Elizabeth’s newly blonde hair choice considering she’s a complete airhead. How do you date someone for 6 months and not be able to remember their birthday, college, or brother’s name?!
Honestly, I’m trying to figure out why Kovacs is dating Elizabeth, especially in light of the things he says when interviewed about her. “She’s got a screw loose,” he said, “She’s definitely unstable.” This guy is either a complete moron OR he assumed he and Elizabeth would split up by the time the show aired. Because if they haven’t already broken up, that comment is surely the nail in his coffin.
And speaking of getting nailed…. Elizabeth and Kovacs got a little tired of the communal bedroom everyone shares and decided it would be a good idea to hijack the fantasy suite for some sexy time. I have a feeling Kovacs started to question his decision when Elizabeth went from zero to crazy about 5 seconds after putting out. “I don’t see you going out of your way to do romantic things for me,” she nagged him. WHAT a buzz kill! Good luck with that one, Kovacs.
Tenley & Kiptyn:
I’m not sure what Disney movie Tenley danced out of, but it cracks me up how everything that comes out of her mouth sounds like something an 8th grader would say. “Kissing is fun! And Kiptyn is fun!” she exclaimed. Oh, Tenley. Sweet, Tenley.
Natalie & David:
As it turns out, Natalie is pretty good with a water balloon – I guess all those years handling balls really paid off. As the water balloon toss winners, Natalie and David were able t0 take a Lamborghini (that was “broken in” by Elizabeth and Kovacs – how REDIC was that make-out in the car?!) on a dream date to a secret cliff-side location at the beach. David really opened up to Natalie about his childhood and parent’s divorce, which was actually kind of nice to see. Maybe there’s more to these two than hot tub shenanigans and public nudity….
Peyton & Jesse:
Peyton really changed her tune with her opinion of Jesse B as the show progressed… she went from thinking he was an immature, banana-loving weirdo to respecting him after he was understanding about her dropping the water balloons. But unfortunately for them, once an outsider, always an outsider, and these two were sent packing by the end of the show.
Surprise of the Week: Water balloon toss?! WTF. After Twister, the Kissing Contest, and the Survey from Hell, this is the next challenge the writers come up with? How was a water balloon toss supposed to be dramatic OR juicy? It still elicited a few tears from Peyton, though, when she wasn’t able to catch the water balloon. Come on, girl… there’s no crying in water balloon tosses.
Slap of the Week: Runner-up for surprise of the week is the fact that Peyton and Jesse were voted off after Natalie pinky swore (the height of swearing!!!) that she would vote for Elizabeth and Kovacs. Therefore, I’m giving the Slap of the Week to Natalie. I’m so sad to see Peyton go!
Superior Moment of the Week: I’m really happy the show got back to its roots by featuring not one, but two hot tub make-outs with Natalie/David and Tenley/Kiptyn. I was starting to get the shakes after a hot tub dry spell in last week’s show, but things definitely got back on track this week.
Well, according to the preview, next week is the series finale. I guess I should be checking my TV Guide more, because I had no idea the show would be over so quickly! As it will be featuring ballroom drama, fancy costumes, and pissed off past contestants, it’s sure to be a good one. See you next week, Bachelor Pad!
I so wish I could watch Bachelor Pad WITH you...maybe over the phone. It would make it so much more fun to comment back and forth as it went on. But given that I had to watch it while dodging a screaming toddler, feeding a baby, cooking dinner, and washing dishes...I really don't know how I could fit in holding the phone also.
ReplyDeleteSo, this blog is the next best thing! You were not kidding about Elizabeth going completely & totally whacko in the fantasy sweet! It's like, "Whoa, girl, give me a break you are like the epitome of all guy's nightmares." Do you remember when she said, "I think I'm worth more than that [$250,000]" as in Kovacs should care more about her than the money. Get real!
When Tenley said, "Kissing Kipton is fun! Kissing is fun!" James (who was eavesdropping on my show from the kitchen) said, "Who are these girls?!!"
"I guess all those years handling balls really paid off" = best blog line of the week!
RE: Hot Tubs....upon seeing the hot tubs on the show, Jameson said, "I want to go there" or "me go there." To which I replied, "No Jameson you don't want to get VD"
RE: Peyton - I liked her a lot too! James thought she was ugly. But then he said they were all ugly, which makes me question a LOT, because stupid, superficial, irritating, easy, though they may be, I wouldn't call those girls ugly.
was it just me, or did it seem like Tenley really believed that David and Natalie would be going in a rocket ship on their date?
ReplyDeleteAnd Jen, you'd better watch out. After those hot tub comments, I'm expecting to see Jameson on the 2040 season of The Bachelor!
haha, i finally watched the show last night. lindsay, my favorite comment "As it turns out, Natalie is pretty good with a water balloon – I guess all those years handling balls really paid off." awesome!
