Bachelor Goodness...

Well, it's week whatever of the Bachelor and things are just starting to get good, or rather normal. The weirdo, controlling, and needy people are gone, and only 5 remain. This week the 5 Mrs. Bachelor hopefuls got to go to Seattle, Jason's hometown. There were to be 2 individual dates, and 1 group date.

Melissa was chosen for the first date. That sent Naomi into a tizzy because she had yet to get a one-on-one date. So Melissa got all dressed up (in what was a not very attractive dress IMO) and waited for Jason to arrive. She waited, and waited, and waited. In actuality I think she waited all of 20 minutes, but I'm sure it was more like 5 since nothing is ever fully how it seems to us viewers. She was starting to wonder if he forgot they had a date. Robin pointed out "Uh yea, I'm sure he completely forgot with him being on a tv show and everything, with cameras following him everywhere. Yea, it just slipped his mind." Anyway, he called and explained that Ty didn't want him to leave so would she mind coming over to his house and hanging out there. Well, of course she was thrilled and headed over there. Another point we brought up at our Bachelor viewing party...why didn't he just wait to go out after Ty was asleep? Well, because that wouldn't make for good tv of course! The girls were NOT happy that Melissa got to go over to his house and "meet" Ty. Well, it turns out that she didn't get to meet him, because J wasn't ready for any of the girls to do that. (Good for you Jason!) She did however get to peek in on him sleeping. So they enjoyed a relaxing night at "his house" and blah blah blah... (I don't think that was really his house, but I could be wrong.)

Next up was the group date between Jillian, Stephanie, and Molly. They went to a local radio station and had some very uncomfortable conversation with the dj's, went on a water home/yacht thing and then headed off to eat food in what seemed to be a hotel lobby. I'm not sure. I was too distracted by the not so cute faux (I hope) fur vest that Stephanie was wearing. They all got alone time with J that entailed of Jason trying to figure out what Jill was really feeling, I'm not sure what he got out of his talk with Stephanie other than she was still missing her daughter Sophia, and Molly is excited at the fact of him possibly meeting her family next week and then admitting in a round about way that if her family doesn't like him he's a goner. Boy was i glad when that group date was over. I hate the awkwardness of those dates.

Last, but not....well...Lastly he had a date with Naomi. They went to some indoor sporting goods store (or so it seemed) and did some rock-wall climbing. Then they cuddled by the fire (aka faux lodge-esque fireplace) and talked about Naomi's parents and her commitment issues. Basically she said she was a lot like her mom, which probably wasn't the best thing to say to him since she had just finished saying that her mom went through a mid-life crisis and divorced her dad. Hmm...

Jason surprised the girls by dropping by and he took Jill for a walk to discuss her issues of holding back. They talked, he was pleased, now time for the rose ceremony. During that he took Naomi off to have a talk, and in the end everyone got a rose but Stephanie. It's all for the best anyway. He felt more like a friend to her than anything. Everyone cried, and after a sweet little goodbye she was off in the dreaded limo, homeward bound to her little Sophia. I have to say that woman was very classy about her exit and she was so dang nice to everyone! We're thinking she may be in the running to be the next Bachelorette.

So, next week is hometown dates for the remaining 4 girls. He's going to CA, TX, Canada, and I don't remember where Molly lives. It should be interesting...

Will Jill open up a bit more? Will Molly's parents like J? Will he get to meet Melissa's parents??? And most importantly, will he go running for the hills (I would!) after meeting Naomi's family? (Seriously, what was up with her mom making him give a eulogy for a dead bird???? WEIRD!)

I can't wait for next week!! :)

Until.............................................
