Episode 4

The episode starts with Blake and Becca pick out kids names. Overall not bad choices, IMO.

David is released from the hospital from his presumed head bleed and facial fractures and his “near death” tumble from the top bunk. I absolutely think it’s hilarious, but in my ICU we have a patient who fell out of bed and is now a quadriplegic, so I guess it’s no laughing matter…

Jordan has zero compassion for David (shocking, I know). He compares David to a Picasso and is certain that he will demolish him since he still has his devilish good looks. Jordan is underestimating the sympathy points from Becca who immediately rewards his return with a rose.

Jordan lets loose by not wearing a tie with a shirt that has an angled collar. He’s showing her he “could go either way right now”. Jordan nicknames himself “captain underpants” after Becca gifted him with shiny gold boxer shorts in memory of his catastrophic waltz through the cocktail party naked last week.

The show gets interrupted on DVR for the “severe thunderstorm warning” that was in effect for golf ball sized hail at my house. They were correct.This information would have been helpful if I had watched it in real time...

Golf ball sized hail on Owl Dr.

This brings us to the first rose ceremony where Jason, Nick- who wears a fucking tracksuit and still gets a rose (and got shockingly little attention for it), Wills, Christon, Leo, Lincoln, Blake, Garrett, John, Connor, Jordan (wtf?!), and Jean Blanc get roses.

Sending ponytail (Mike) and tall guy (Ryan?) home.

On to Park City Utah.

Garrett gets the 1 on 1 and they go shopping (every mans dream date).  Becca gets so giddy with Garrett, it’s cute. She is drawn to the fact that he is good at eye contact. I get that, that's one thing that I liked about Tom on our first date (<3). They take a chair lift to the top of a mountain to go bobsledding. I’m pretty envious. Garrett revealed that he is divorced. The glass shattered a little for Becca, but obviously she still gave him a rose.

Lincoln reveals he is a flat-earther. Leo rightfully questions his sanity. Maybe they don’t teach science in Nigeria? Or maybe he skipped that day of school?  I vote you get negative points if your contestant is a flat-earther. What is this, 1750?!

It appears Becca is fighting a cold but she pushes on with a group date with: Jordan, Chris, Blake, Nick, John, Lincoln, Leo, David, Connor, Christon, Jason, and Colton.

Becca and I like lumberjacks. She outfits the men in our version of porn - plaid shirts and suspenders. “It’s not about the size of the ax, it’s how you swing it” Jean Blanc explains. Which I’m sure was intended to be more of an innuendo than an accurate statement. I really want to try the ax throwing. Becca seems incredibly good at it. Although this seems dangerous for this accident prone group of guys. The group date trophy goes to John because he climbed a pole really well.

Becca continues my dream date by going to a distillery. Damn this is a cool.

Jordan drops his drawers to show off his incredibly shiny tight gold shorts that she gave him. The boys drop a “right reasons” and stir the pot.

Mike Nelson-the-weather-guy is back for about the 8th time and made a nice joke about being too old for Becca.

Shocker - Jean Blanc gave Becca a fragrance. It was named after her except with her last name hyphenated with his. Bold move. She’s not feeling it. Even though he drops the first “I’m falling in love with you” of the season. She stares at him awkwardly for a moment before … the satellite connection fails with this epic storm. But apparently Jean took it back. And it appears she sent him home. (I gave him the points for the “I Love You”, if anyone disagrees feel free to comment).

All she wants is a man who know what he wants (cough, thanks Arie). Now the dudes are on edge, especially Wills who gets the next 1 on 1.

Becca and Wills go snowmobiling. Wills seems like a sweet guy. His gentle nature seemed to change her spirits (and the tempo of the background music). They have deep conversation and he gets the rose.

Becca wears a very pretty strapless dress in the snow without a jacket to the rose ceremony. Leo, Colton, Blake, Jason, Connor, Lincoln, John, Chris, David, and Jordan get roses. Sending home Nick and Christon home

Lincoln: “I hope she knows how I feel about her and I hope she knows that the things I say are true and honest” except, you know, that that the EARTH IS FLAT!

Next up: Vegas. Say hi to my love for me!

The Teams are like this:

A bunch of us look to be in trouble with only 2 ponies left except that we all have favorites who will undoubtedly go deep. Andi/ Eric and Julia/Paul battle for the last team standing points. Somehow the dreg Leo is staying strong making me scratch my head a little since he hasn’t gotten much screen time.
