The Bachelorette

 

by David McAlpine

 


Last week on The Bachelorette, there was a lot of talk and one semi-predictable kink in Jillian's plan, leading to the departure of Ed and that pizza guy (aka Mark).

With eight guys left, the whole crew boards the Rocky Mountaineer for some more old-fashioned Canadian fun. Complete with an observation car, a dining car and, of course, a decent amount of alcohol, Jillian plus eight make a day out of the train ride. She quickly hands over the date card and disappears, letting the guys wonder who's up first this week. The lucky guy? Robby, who has wanted a one-on-one date since the beginning. And now that he has one, he's worried about impressing Jillian.

With the possibility of securing a date with Jillian to his hometown, Robby is shaking in his fur-lined boots as he steps into Jillian's private car. The date seems to be going well, but then the conversation turns south quickly. Jillian starts asking simple questions about Robby's ambitions, if he's ever been in love, how he feels about the age difference (he's 25 and she's almost 30), and all of his answers sounded way wrong. He started talking about how love has no age and no job, and how he doesn't really know where he's headed next.

Flash to all the guys sitting in the train car, most of whom are confident that Robby will get a rose at the end of his date. Robby and Jillian head downstairs to her room and lay on the bed, talking more about the possible future (though it's pretty clear Jillian isn't feeling this one). All of a sudden, shocker! The train starts to slow down and the tension builds. Well, at least for a little, because Jillian doesn't even give it a chance. She cuts her losses and sends Robby packing, tossing him off the train in the middle of the Canadian Rockies, much to the shock of the other seven guys. Apparently the age thing finally got to her, and rightfully so. Because last time I checked, love didn't need a job, but people did so they can eat. Poor Robby.

The group date called on Jake, Wes, Michael, Tanner P., Jesse and Kiptyn, leaving Reid to have some quality time with Jillian this week. Jillian and her six guys end up going snowshoeing, which goes...as well as one would expect it? I mean, we've already seen enough of Canada and the snow, so there's only so much that ABC can show of it now.

Jake tries to pull Jillian aside, since he hasn't had a lot of time to talk to her since the beginning, when he had the one-on-one date with her (and, you, he wasn't "too perfect"). He tells her he reminds her of his mom and she seems really flattered. Just as he's about to pour his heart out to her, the other guys come out and break up the party. Instead, she opts to go inside with Kiptyn and stick her tongue down his throat.

The night gets increasingly strange when Michael asks Jillian (in front of everyone) what she wears when she sleeps. Her response, a tank top and underwear, prompts Michael to admit he sleeps naked. To add to the fire of discomfort, Tanner gets up and pulls down his pants, revealing something like a hybrid of a tighty-whity and a thong. Insert awkward comments about how large his package is and a couple shots of Jillian looking through her fingers at it, and call it a day.

Tanner somehow manages to snag Jillian alone and (what else?) grabs her feet. He compliments her feet a lot...and that's pretty much all he can talk about. Michael gets a crack at alone time and, from Jillian's comments, America can guess that she sees him as little more than a friend.

While the other guys are sitting around, Tanner all of a sudden decides to say that he was the one who told Jillian about the girlfriend thing. Wes is livid, calling Tanner a tattletale. Then he turns around and says that he's already made is six shows (and, if Jillian is stupid enough, he'll make it four more) and then he kind of leaves us to fill in the blank. But before America can digest all the new drama, Jillian rewards Kiptyn with the rose for the date.

Next up is Reid's date, where he gets to snowboard with Jillian. They both are not the best snowboarders, but they both laugh it off and instead cozy up with some alcohol (sense a trend yet?). They kiss and laugh the night away and Reid talks about his thoughts on red ears signifying horniness. Right.

Reid talks about his intense germaphobia, then he gets freaked out by their fondue dinner, which, for some reason, turns Jillian on. Hey, if she's stupid enough to keep Wes AND Tanner this long, I don't put anything past her. She tells Reid she feels very comfortable around him and gives him a rose.

The crew arrives in Banff, the next rose ceremony location. Jill sits down for her weekly chat with Chris, where she claims that Wes could be there for his music, but she doesn't think he's capable of lying. I mean, how stupid can this girl be? Really? She also brings up the age difference with Michael.

However, things change when Jillian pulls Michael asides before she starts handing out roses. Jillian tells him that she's falling for him, and he makes her swoon by assuring her that he's not looking for a one-night stand, but instead looking for that "forever person."

At the rose ceremony, Reid and Kiptyn are already safe, leaving Jesse, Jake, Michael, Tanner and Wes and only three roses. Jesse gets the first rose, followed by Wes (where I swear I could hear the whole East Coast sigh and roll their eyes), then...Michael? That's right, she took Michael, the 25 year old, who fit the same category that concerned her about Robby, over Jake, the polite, best-friend seeking, successful yet modest airline pilot. WHAT? I honestly could not believe that she did that to Jake, who looked unbelievable crestfallen. Bachelor material, anyone?

Oh, and she kicked Tanner off, too, but that's not a surprise at this point, we just won't see any more of Jillian's lovely feet close-ups.

But wait! The fun doesn't stop there. Next week, it looks like Jake is coming back to expose Wes for the fraud he is. Excited? I sure am.

Who will Jillian believe: Wes or Jake? Tune in to The Bachelorette, Monday at 8/7c on ABC to find out.
