When I first found out we would have a repeat Bachelor episode I thought "Come on, what a waste of my time". But I was wrong. For the first time I was actually interested in the "repeat" of episode 1. Could that be because it wasn't your typical repeat. I saw things last night I did not see the first night. My opinion of the "meet and greet thingytail party" that is always the first episode is ABC gives these girls too much alcohol. #69#
It was fun the see "eggs rotting" Allie G again. But once again she proved to be the psycho she is. I was rotf lmao again. Are you gonna buy one of her "My eggs are rotting" t-shirts? I think this woman went on this show just to make a buck. No one can be that stupid to start talking babies in the first 5 minutes of meeting someone.
I really was hoping for more from Allie and was hoping we would actually see Travis go off on her, but alas that did not happen. I guess I should be happy with what I got....lol
Now, I won't waste anymore time talking about the first hour....on to the second hour and the real beginning of the show.
We begin with Chris introducingg the ladies to where they will be living. Can you imagine a "French Country Manor" making a bunch of grown adults giggle with glee...if so, that is what you got at this point in the show. Apparently they like it. #jump1ia#
They barely had time to settle in, before Chris calls them back out to tell them there'll be two group dates, and one individual date. Because Kristen got the final rose at the first rose ceremony, she will get the first one on one date.
Of course this year, same as last year, with each date wheter it be a group date or individual date, there will be a rose on the line. The only difference is if it si an individual date and you don't get a rose you go homer. Do any of these girls watch the show or are they all told to play dumb for camera's so it gives Chris something to do and say...lol
The first group date will be with Cole, Yvonne, Sara (Tennessee), Elizabeth, and Jehan.
As Storky and the ladies are driving to their destination on a double-decker bus, Dr. Travis decides to ask all the ladies a question: If there was one activity that you could not give up in your life, what would it be? They only showed us two of the ladies' answers and for it appeared as if Travis did not get the answer he was looking for. Neither answer heard was smart, but I thisnk what Yvonne had to say was just plain stupid (read Allie G). Yvonne: "I don't mean to sound superficial, but, like shopping." #65#
Travis says he could never give up camping and being one with nature, to which Sara Tennessee replied, "I would LOOOOVE to crawl in a tent with him." Now that's a good answer, but she said it in her confessional not to Travis. Of course Yvonne had to pipe in with she would go camping in a Gucci tent....I immediately knew she would be going home at the next rose ceremony.
On the group date, Cole tells Travis that she is ready for a committed relationship. Then she gives him a miniature rose. Cute....barf
Back at the French Manor, Kristen is overly excited when the next package arrives at the door. Her individual date with Travis will have them cruising down the Seine river. Tis a shame her brain is not the size of her tatas....then maybe she would have a clue as to what not to do on a first date. (more on this date later)
Back to our group date. They finally get to their destination. It's some arch (D'Arc de Triomphe...excuse the spelling).
Travis pulls Jehan aside for some alone time. Jehan tells us her passions are nature, church, and health. This girl needs to get a life.....that sounds totally BORING #37#
During all this "passionate" talk, something must have turned Travis on...not sure if it was the nature, church or health thing, but Travis walks back in front of the other four girls, picks up the rose, and heads back to give it to Jehan.
Seeing the looks on the other girls' faces was priceless when they realized what Travis was doing.....hahahah
That was a good move. Very slick. And considering three women from this group of five were three of the four sent home on the night, I'm sure it stung even more.
Did anyone catch the red carpet at the Golden Globes last night....have to say I did not but I did catch a replay of some of the more exciting things that happened. I don't know what was funnier.....Isaac Mizrahi asking Terri Hatcher if she was wearing any panties or him asking Ev Longoria how her privates was shaved. and did you see the look on her face....although she managed to keep a smile you could see in her eyes she was totally embarrased and put off by the question. Was this show not monitored by the FCC. Did anyone see when Dennis Quaid was introducing the movie Brockback Mountain and said the type of movie it was rhymed with "chick flick". I know that was supposed to be funny, but I don't think anyone laughed. I was shocked and sitting there with my mouth open. But for all those inquiring minds that want to know the answer to Isaac's burning questions: Terri went commando and Eva has a normal cut down under. 
Travis's date with Kristen is up next and she's getting ready. But first, Kristen has to write some poetry. I can't remember anyone who does the poetry thing on a date much less the first date making it very far....except of course Ryan Sutter, but that is because Trista herself is so sappy. #43#
So Kristen and Travis are cruising down the Seine river when she busts out the poetry. This sounded like something straight from 3rd grade. Here goes her poem:
"Tonight is our first date, and being with you, I know it'll be great
We're going cruising down the Seine river together, and after last night, I hope we have great weather
So let's go have some fun and make sure to look up at the sky,
because you never know which stars will make a twinkle in your eye"
Did anyone notice that Travis was very unattentive. At one point he even looked over the side of the boat...I guess to see how far he would have to jump. And if that wasn't a tell tell, then his rolling eyes definately were. Poor ditzy Kristen.....good thing you packed your bags.
To save us from that, they bring us back to the house. The rest of the girls decide to spice things up a bit. although it was probably induced by the producers.
One of the girls asks the group, "What are your biggest turn ons?" And Susan blurts out first, "I love it when a guy's nipples get hard."
The dirty talk continued when one of the girls says, "I love my hair being pulled." Then in unison, all the other girls scream out "Me too!!!" Do these girls think the producers will not put this stuff on the air. Maybe they think if Dr. Travis does not pick them, then some other guy who heard they like hard nipples or hair being pulled will date them. Their momma's must be real proud. And I could jsut picture thier daddies cringing.
Back to Kristen who continues to try waaaaay too hard. At dinner, she cut up her orange, placed the peel in her mouth shaped as teeth, and tried to carry on a conversation. Was this supposed to be funny? Maybe ten years from now when they are married with kids and old and gray, but come on....not on a first date.
Needless to say, Kristen did not receive a rose and was sent back to the states. Her parting thoughts: "I scared the poor guy". Yeah, pretty much.
The final group date has Jennifer, Moana, Shiloh, Tara, e Susan, and Sarah (Canada). A helicopter picks them up and flies them over Paris en route to Champagne, France. Once they arrive they have go down in a cave because that is where the good champagne is. Really...never knew that....never really cared.
After some group drinking....I mean tasting of the champagne, he starts pulling the women aside for one-on-one time, and the first one he pulls away is Shiloh. Of course, for whatever reason, we know nothing about Shiloh, and right before they show their conversation, they cut back to Jennifer and Sara dancing seductively. After his one on one time with Shiloh we still know nothing about her.
Travis pulls Sarah (Canada) aside and they hit it off again. But it was a little awkward when the time was ripe for a kiss and he didn't do the deed. He says he was not comfortable kissing a girl on a 6 to 1 date. I like the fact that he is trying to be a gentleman, but come on we want to see the good stuff. Sarah looked really upset...either that or she was really drunk. #66#
Tara pulls Travis aside to slur a few words to him. For the love of God, this chick is either drunk or high in every scene. I thought Travis being a doctor he would be able to see the writing on the wall, but he must be ok with her being under the influence of what I believe to be more than alcohol. Travis tells her: "You didn't need one-on-one time with me for me to know that you're awesome." She got the all important "safe" rose.
Time for the women to get one final shot at him before he sends them packing. Moana is up first. "I'm the type of girl that'll stay in the back of the room. I don't need to run up and grab your attention, that's just not who I am." Why is she even here. She does not seem to be into it other than wanting to be there for the thrill of the adventure not the thrill of the Bachelor. I hope Travis wakes up and sees that she is only here for a free trip to Paris and sends her packing. #103#
Sarah Tennessee gets some alone time with Travis and proceeds to tell him she's always friends first with guys she's been in relationships with. I don't think there is anything wrong with that, but again not something you should tell a guy fromt he get go. And oh yeah, Sarah Tennessee is worried she gave the wrong impression with her "friends first" remark.
Tonight is actually Susan's birthday, so Travis has a little something prepared for her. He brings her into his room, he has a birthday cake with candles prepared for her. Susan is impressed. Susan: "From the moment I first saw you, it was like lightning struck my insides....Whenever you look at me, the world melts away." Good choice of words. I think that one hit a home run. It looked as if Travis might actually give out his first kiss of the season, but no Tara and Jehan come barging in half drunk to create havoc. Of course they had nothing to worry about as they already had their roses. I loved it when Travis politely tells them to leave because he needs to spend more time with those who aren't safe from the rose ceremony. they will be gone next week as Travis looked really pissed off by the intrusion.
Sarah Canada gets one last time with Travis. Sarah Canada: "So you don't want to kiss me? What's the problem? Why not? ..." Travis: "It's still so early. I feel like I need to have restraint. " Come on Travis....kis someone. Give someone the tongue.
Rose ceremony time. Of course we have Tara and Jehan who are sitting on the sidelines because they for some unknown reason each received a rose during the group dates. Note to Travis....bad choices.
When Moana was called and Travis asked if she would accept this rose she actually said "I don't know". Of course she followed it up with, "Just kidding". Sorry, I did not find that funny, but however found that to be the tell tell that she is not here for the Bachelor. Hope she is gone next week.
The others who get roses are Sarah (Tennessee), Jennifer, Sarah (Canada), Shiloh and Susan gets the final rose of the night (But only after host Chris tells us its the final rose). I can only hope this final rose will mean the same as last weeks final rose....getting a one on one date.
For the ones who did not get roses, there was no meltdowns (d**n). Everyone pretty much left with their dignity in tact.
So until next week....when I am still rooting for Susan....
