Well . . . I couldn’t watch the Bachelorette until today! We were at Disneyland from 7:30am to 11:30pm. I call that success! Also, we didn’t have any drama . . . it was just a nice, relaxing, cool (weather!) day. Around us, I heard lots of parents telling their kids to lose the attitude, we’ll leave, you need to go back to bed, etc. which is exactly how Disneyland got the saying “Happiest Place on Earth”, but our little group was just fun times.
Yesterday, we recovered.
Today, Kerry leaves. ๐
But it’s all good because I’m flying out there in about ten days. ๐
Alright. Onto the second most boring episode of the season. Seriously. Not a lot happened.
Desiree and the guys traveled to Munich, Germany. The guys traveled mainly in colorful zip up hoodies.
Chris got the first one on one. He’s the poet. He’s not your normal hoodie-wearing-type-of-dude. He’s more of a buttoned-up-collar-sticking-out-of-a-sweater-type-of-man. The date went well with obligatory costumes and dancing.
Meanwhile, back at the hotel suite, Bryden had another pity party for himself about his connection with Desiree or lack thereof. I was really bored with it. Get over yourself, military dude who is way too needy. Buck up. He decided he could try to find Desiree on her date and let her know right then and there that he wants to leave. Because that’s appropriate. Let’s fly all the way to Germany to say you want to leave. Maybe he wanted the airline miles?
Desiree cried.
I didn’t get the tears. AT ALL. Bryden didn’t even have good hair.
Chris rolled with it and they carried on. He wrote another poem for Desiree and he made her cry because it was very sweet. I have some poems from my hubby when we first started dating. I am thinking I need to go get those out. I’m sure he rhymed time with lime or something and that I melted. And swooned.
Desiree gave him the rose. Obviously. Chris is falling in love with Desiree and believes that she reciprocates his feelings . . . he can tell through the look in her eyes and in her kisses.
I can tell that he might be living in a fantasy world based on his poetry. But whatever works for him.
Group Date
Desiree and the boys played in the snow on the highest peak in Germany.
A yodel-er was up there yodeling. By the way, that’s really the only way I know how to sing. And that’s pretty much the way I sound when I am singing.
Next, they went sledding. And it looked scary. Until Zak W. compared sledding to falling in love on the Bachelorette. Then it was just sick.
They moved onto an igloo of sorts. The name “James” started popping up everywhere – he’s not there for the right reasons, he’s two different people, etc, etc, etc.
Brooks got the group date rose and I really couldn’t tell you why.
Two on One Date
Michael and Ben – AWKWARD.
Desiree acted as if they were going to do the Polar Bear Plunge only to lead them to a Hot Tug. That Hot Tug was pretty darn cool hot and I think I need one.
Michael questioned Ben on everything. It was very uncomfortable. They started talking about Easter and church and Ben didn’t go or he did . . . and Michael just kept pushing and pushing. Ben had to walk away and then Desiree was not feeling it at all!
Michael told her everything he could about Ben . . . he just spilled it.
So Desiree gave Michael the rose and let Ben go. And go, he did. Bad words, huffing and puffing, walking out without Desiree, etc. It was a sight to see. His exit in the limo was ridiculous. He wanted to know where he could go to get drunk and have fun. He waved and said hello to Hollywood.
Gross.
The boys learned that James IS there for the wrong reasons. They overheard him talking about being the next Bachelor and running Chicago. Apparently, he’s the mayor or competes in marathons or something.
Desiree had a sit down with Chris Harrison and they re-hashed everything. She decided she did not need a cocktail party.
Dun dun dun.
The boys’ hopes were dashed. They would not be able to tell Desiree about James being there for the wrong reasons. The boys were in a tither.
Mikey did not get a rose. That made complete sense to me.
They are heading to Barcelona next week.
And that was all. See? I told you. Second most boring episode ever.
What did you think??

Kristin,
Thank you so much for blogging about this episode. I agree: BORING!!!!! The only thing that got me through it was knowing that you would be posting about it. As I watched I wondered how you could possibly turn this episode into an entertaining post. Not sure how you did it, but you did! Maybe ABC should just air your posts and dump the show! Oh, wait, then you wouldn't be able to blog about each episode, would you? Sigh. Next week will surely be better, right?

i too think these episodes have been BOOOOORING!!! I fall asleep every time and dont get to watch the cocktail parties. Not like that matters though!
Jill says
Mmmmm I have watched it three times already and loved it…. haha!!
I obviously wanted Ben to leave and I am happy but surprised when he did! When Michael told her that Ben had no friends in the house and she was like, "Well that's not why we're here," I wanted to yell at her! We just had this situation with Tierra, how she had no friends. Something is wrong with this picture…. so I'm glad she figured it out.
And that is my 2 cents. ๐

Kristin!!! I am so glad to be caught up to read Talk About It Tuesdays!! We were at the beach, lake, and I was weeks behind on the Bach! Teacher problems!!! ๐ I am about to go back and read all the previous ones! So excited!!
I am such a dork, I secretly kind of liked this episode!?!! Or maybe it was the DEEElish S'mores ice cream I was eating??? {Btw, it is Edy's Slow Churned Smores – get you some}
WHAT IS WITH ALL THE HOODIES??? I can't deal..they are striped, solid, and everywhere!!
I totally want a Hot Tug – how cool was that thing??? I was glad they opted for that instead of the PBP – who needed a repeat of that drama?
I love seeing all the scenery though – who knew Germany was so gorgeous???
And how delicious did those pretzels look? They were everywhere!
Can't wait til next week!
