Synopsis
In Tuscany, Chris Harrison announced there would be no rose ceremony that week. Instead there would be three one-on-one dates and one group date and anyone who didn’t get a rose was gone. Jacqueline announced for the second straight week that she believed she was going to vomit. Arie and Becca drove to a town called Barga. They walked around, ate some salami and cheese, drank wine, made out and danced.
Jacqueline cried while expressing doubts about her
relationship with Arie. Becca did not express doubts but rather hope and
affection. Arie gave her a rose and made out with her. Jacqueline cried again
but we believed it was while wearing the same outfit as before. She went to see
Arie by herself which we decided counted as “stealing extra time.” She had a
confusing conversation with Arie in which she broke up with him while frequently
kissing him and crying.
Arie and Lauren B rode bikes around a town called Lucca and
ate gelato. They also walked up a long staircase to a small park on a rooftop
of a tower. Then they ate pizza. Then they played soccer despite the gelato and
pizza in their stomachs. At night Lauren B told Arie she was falling in love
with him. He got up and left. She cried. He came back and told her he was “falling
deeply in love” with her. He gave her a rose and they made out.
Arie and Seinne went truffle hunting with an Italian in a
vest and two dogs. Then they made pasta in a house with other Italians. Then
they ate the pasta and truffles. At night they had a lengthy conversation that I
gave little attention to while sweating the end of a Spurs/Jazz game I was
heavily invested in in DFS. Arie ended up getting rid of Seinne. We found Arie's preference of Lauren B over Seinne baffling.
Arie, Bekah, Kendall and Tia went to a villa called Villa
Royale. Kendall talked with Arie and kissed him. Then Tia attempted to throw
Bekah under the bus, then told Bekah about it. Bekah cried. Bekah told Arie
she kept in very close contact with her parents which didn’t ring true because
they reported her missing while she was filming the show. Arie gave a rose to
Kendall, narrowing it to a 2-on-1 date of Bekah vs. Tia. I continued to do
other things while lightly paying attention to the show. Arie ended up giving
Tia a rose and getting rid of Bekah, who wept profusely in the hearse, smearing
her mascara.

J&P are suddenly down to just their fifth-round pick, but strangely Lauren B is looking like a true contender. It was shocking to hear Arie profess his love for her. I don't see it, but it appears he does.

+3 last team standing bonus
It's likely coming down to B vs. Tia for the title. I still give Tia the edge, but it's close.

I really didn't get the first Lauren B but this one is even more perplexing. I have no clue what this woman brings to the table.

K&P need Becca and Kendall to outscore Tia and Lauren B to have a chance.

We are one of two teams with two players left, but trail badly in points. It would take a monstrous finish or a proposal rejection from Tia and/or Kendall to get back in the mix.

In this boring season of Bs, Becca is a leading contender.
1. This season is fascinating in that Arie doesn't appear to have deep connections with any of the final 4 women. We saw obvious connections with Krystal, Bekah, and Chelsea, and they are gone.
ReplyDelete2. I think Andie nailed this a few episodes ago. Lauren is similar to Arie and what's her name from his previous appearance. She is his type and I think she will win. His reaction to her saying she was falling in love with him was really unusual.
3. Arie is good at kissing may women in short time spans, but maybe Arie isn't good at developing deep relationships.
4. Other than R. Steve, who could have predicted Kendall in the final 4?
5. I haven't heard Chris H make a single comment about this being the most 'x' season ever.
6. Hometowns should be interesting but previews always make them appear crazier than they are. Any chance it's Lauren's ex who shows up? The accent was probably too strong to be anyone other than Tia's ex.
7. They obviously made a decision early on to hide Arie's tattoos?
8. How about a season where Chris H is the Bachelor and Jeff Probst is the host? And instead of doing it at the mansion they do it on an island?
9. Bekah showed no hard feelings toward Tia for her questionable comments to Arie. She is a unique cat.
10. Is Tia the only realistic choice for next Bachelorette among this cast?
Zack and I are toast.
ReplyDeleteThe Lauren thing was baffling. The only thing Arie has said about her is how attracted to her he is. So it sounds like it's only physical. I think he was going to send her home and made an audible when she said she loved him, 'cause he thought he might have a chance to get some in the fantasy suite. He then cut Bekah instead, who I thought was going to the fantasy suite for the same reason.
ReplyDeleteThe Sienne date was weird too. It looked like they had a great time and had a connection, and then he cut her out of nowhere.
Kimmel interviewed Bekah on his show and asked her about the missing persons thing. She claims it happened after she was cut from the show. She said she went up in the mountains with some friends for a couple of weeks and thought she would have cell service and then didn't. Her Mom reported her missing after a week. Then Kimmel blew her up and said "so you weren't missing on a Marijuana farm for 8 days like the sheriff reported" and she tired to brush it off, but failed.
Anyone else watching the amazing train wreck that is Bachelor Winter Games? So bad, but so good!
