Jake: “It’s not about sex appeal. It’s about flexibility. See how Ali straddles me so comfortably in the middle of a meadow?”
OHCH: “Jake. Buddy. You can’t say that on prime time TV. This isn’t cable.”
Jake: “Right. Sorry.”
OHCH: “Take two.”
Jake: “It’s not about sex appeal. It’s about being smoking hot and coming to my room with a bottle of wine and admitting you aren’t wearing any panties.”
OHCH: “Dude. You can’t say that either. Think wings of love and try again. Take three.”
Jake: “It’s not about sex appeal. It’s about heart appeal.”
OHCH: “Totally chachtastic. I think we have a winner. We needed something with extra cheese so Lincee would have an amazing title for her blog tomorrow. It will be the new catch phrase that sweeps the nation! Good job Jake!”
Recap will be up LATER this afternoon as soon as I figure out what in the world I can write about after sitting through the most boring episode to date.
Wish me luck!
Ali is really starting to bug me. Definitely the dominant girl of the group and will nice Jake really go for her in the end? She seems to just want to “win” and then go shopping with Tenley. Speaking of Tenley, did it seem she had a ‘stache when she was on her one on one date with Jake? Maybe it was poor lighting, but she looked like she had a bit of a shadow above her lip…..yikes!
Jake is growing on me. Not quite the horn dog as past bachelors!!
Vienna and her Martha Washington hair-don’t at the rose ceremony! Puh-leeze! She needs to be sent home for that reason alone. And Jake must have a very loose definition for “sexy as hell.”
On The Soup this week, Joel McHale pegged Ella the best, as being “attractive at certain angles.” She’s like the two-face from Seinfeld.
I’m on Team Tenley! They are perfect for each other. As for Ali, she needs to let up on her Vienna hating. And her straddling massages. Seriously! You are in a public place!
New under-statement of the CENTURY…..
Corrie “I think if Jake wasn’t dating 4 other women things would definitely have been different”. Uh….Ya think??
Things from this episode:
1. My 75 year old Grandma is an avid Bachelor watcher and called me after Corrie’s virgin confession and said, “We’re on team Corrie.” Then Corrie got kicked off and she called me back very upset because Jake is supposed to be the Bachelor with values, and I had to burst her bubble tell her that it was because Jake knew she wasn’t going to put out on the overnight dates.
2. Did Ali really call Jake her favorite flower? I don’t have a hole lot of relationship experience, but I’m pretty sure you don’t want to call your boyfriend a flower.
3. I really do not like Vienna- whiney, desperate, wandering down the castle dungeon hallways and then later into Jake’s bedroom. Sure she was probably encouraged by a producer to do those things, but still! I felt so bad for Gia!
*LMAO* Crystal, SO TRUE!
Oh Lincee, I don’t think you will have any problems picking at all the hilarious things that went on last night! Just your intro is funny, but Good Luck if you think you need it. And please don’t forget to mention Vienna’s most irratingly ugly hair-do last night. I couldn’t even focus on her crossed eyes or her weird mouth…her hair had my undivided attention! Why is he keeping her?? The slut over the virgin? Says a little about our boy Jake. I give him props for not kissing Vienna after he had a full blown make out session with Gia, but why did he let our little virgin go and keep the queen? I liked Ali a little more last night, but Tenley is who I think he should pick. Please Jake, don’t let me down!
Totally agree about Vienna’s hair, Aspiring Fashionista. All I could do was stare in morbid fascination.
Other strange fashion happenings — what time of year was this shot? If it was summer, what was up with all the boots? If it wasn’t summer, what’s up with the sundresses? Also, Jake, if you’re going to wear jeans and dark sneakers, white is not the appropriate sock choice.
Are they never going to refer to the fact that Jake is doing the exact same thing regarding Vienna as Jillian did with Wes? At least have him make some comment to the effect that now he understands why Jillian saw different things then the guys did. It really bothers me everytime he says, “I’m going to make my own decisions.” Well of course you are. But so was Jillian.
Totally hoping he pulls a Womack on these women. Just wish he had Womack’s looks and sense of humor.
The title of this weeks recap should be: “Umm…you can eat my salmon,” Classic line by Gia!
Classic moment last night on the castle date when Vienna kept saying “I can’t believe we’re in an ACTUAL castle!” ACTUALLY, Vienna, you’re in California, which is part of a country that has no royal family. But now that I think of it, that might be contrary to what her father taught her. Maybe she’s wondering what relative of hers lives there.
Obviously I am a Mommy….I was cringing when they jumped in the ocean with their clothes and shoes (and boots) on. Ugh! I’m all about spontaneity, but salt water and suede boots are not a good match. My vote is for Tenley…but of course – he’ll send her home eventually.
#0 Heather – Love it! “What relative of hers lives there?” So true…I hope Vienna doesn’t last much longer, but I am glad that we get to meet this rich daddy of hers. Maybe Jake will see what she is all about finally and dump her ugly butt!
This episode was the Pout Face Extraordinaire episode. “Why isn’t all about me!?”
And poor Corrie. I was really starting to like her….and I’m starting to think Jake booted her off his Airplane of Love because of her V-Card confession (which makes her cooler than all the other girls!!!).
Jake obviously wants someone who’s been around the cockpit…if ya know what I mean.
Oops! Guess I should proof read…#9 Heather, not #0
“It’s not about sex appeal. It’s about heart appeal.”
Did he just call Vienna ugly? lmao
Heidi – I totally rewound the DVR when I thought I heard Ali call Jake her favorite flower. And sure enough she did. Ummm…what??
Alicia – I’m not even a mommy, but I was cringing about the boots too! Take your boots off Ali!!! Dumb!
I had actually become Team Corrie by the time the rose ceremony came around, but clearly that didn’t work out. Poor thing, she’s probably going to be afraid to share that with anyone else going forward! I guess I’m back to Team Tenley for lack of anyone better to pick!
Jake….if you want a baby go make one, don’t date one. Vienna bugs!! I am sure I wasn’t the only one totally annoyed by Vienna’s constant baby talk and her need for “Jake time”. After last night, I am sure she is officially useless. My coworker’s and I tried to come up with some positive adjectives to describe her. The best we could do was “blonde”.
Ali definitely got a good edit last night. I thought they had chemistry since the first one on one they had. It was nice to see her focus on that and not Vienna. He tried to bait her, but she resisted. Congrats Ali.
Tenley, just too fragile IMHO. Although she was very level headed when talking about her mistakes in the failed marriage.
Gia, I just don’t see the chemistry. Besides I am a germ-a-phobe and hated her bandaid and her rubbing it all over him (LOL, I know – crazy).
It was nice to get to know Corrie, but I knew the viriginity thing would be the kiss of death. Kudos to her for standing her ground and saying no moving in until marriage either.
Ok, so my boyfriend had great insight. He said Jake got all amped over Corrie’s V-card/”I like you” confession because he is a people pleaser and hates the idea of someone not liking him, but he seemed bored and not actually into her. I didn’t think they had chemistry but she’s super nice and cute. OMG Sausage. Really? Walking around moaning Jake’s name and jumping like you’re in a horror movie? Or should I say whore movie after that childish gesture where you climbed into his bed? What the what?!? And yes, someone please get that girl a brush and a mirror, and teach her how to wear her hair in an elegant manner. I can only assume that’s what she was going for! Ali, ditch the boots, hon. This was SUCH a cringe-worthy episode!
I’m sorry, but I don’t agree with you guys who think Jake let Corrie go because she’s a virgin. Honestly, I don’t think it played a part in his decision at all. Their relationship just didn’t seem as developed as the others and he had to let someone go. Most people don’t care one way or another about if someone is a virgin. I have a feeling that most of you who are jumping on this bandwagon are probably virgins yourselves, but seriously it’s not a deal-breaker or maker!
My favorite part of the 2-on-1 date was how he gave Gia a big, pick-you-up hug and said “There she is!” and then a weird hug and buddy “Hey!” to Vienna.
The next best part was Gia whispering, “Is it OK to fall?” To which Jake replied, “It’s OK to fall.” It’s the new “You complete me”/”You had me at hello.”
Team Tenley!
Lincee seriously needs to add the video of the Jimmy Fallon/Neil Young’s version of “Pants on the Ground” for the Vienna in the castle bedroom scene…that’s all that I could think of!
I swear, Ali got my hubby all excited with the staddling – hello – in a public park???
I so agree about the Wes/Vienna thing – was thinking the same thing last night! Wonder who comes back next week to WARN him (again) about Vienna?
Suede boots with a sundress are bad enough – wet suede – even worse!
Felt bad for Corrie – but I agree that he let her go because he knew she wouldn’t even want to stay the night with him on the overnight date – good for her!
I think the reason ALI is so dang b*tchy is because everytime she goes on a date with Jake she has to ruin her shoes!!… First she has run in heals to the Chicago concert and then last night she gets her boots wet while in the ocean!! Why she was wearing them with that dress is a different blog!
EWWW EWWW – Not only did trashy Ali straddle Jake but he grabbed the butt too!!!! I hear San Fran is a very “open” type of place!
martha washington up -dont—you nailed it!
and the boots in the ocean–whatev–NOBODY does that.
yes sf looked awfully sunny, but i know this was filmed in october—(tenleys family lives nearby) —
they mustve scored and hit a warm sunny day in the city. i LOVED corries values–good for her–and that had nothing to do with him booting her—-they had ZERO chem.
Gia bugs—the bandaid!!! ohmygosh really??? did love her “eat my salmon” line though…
tenley and he match up the best–but honestly my guess is he pulls a womack and remains single…
as far as kindness/values/fairness, i do think jake has been the best bach so far.
and i TOTALLY agree why arent they mentioning the direct correlation between vienna/wes???!! it’s pretty similar–although i guess sausage actually likes jake where as wes admitted he was there for the fame…..
I also don’t think Jake let Corrie go because she was a virgin. He really doesn’t strike me as being the kind of guy for whom that would be a deal breaker. I saw ZERO chemistry between the two of them – when they were on the boat and you could here the ducks quacking…. might as well have been crickets chirping. She kept talking about how she wants to be pursued and I got really confused as to what she was doing on this show if that was the case…
On another note, Vienna’s neediness bugs the heck out of me, but to be totally honest – Jake seems the most at ease around her. He really does seem to like her. (and honestly, i think her hair STILL looked better than Ali’s uncombed “windblown” look she appeard to be going for).
Finally – am i the only one who noticed? I am 99% sure (but too lazy to look it up, plus i’m at work in a cubicle, so that makes it a little hard to do) that Ali’s outfit on her one on one was the EXACT same as her intro video on the first episode when she was skipping down the middle of the street….
*hear the ducks quacking… ugh, can’t believe i spelled that wrong. Biggest pet peeve!
Ok one last thing cause I need to prepare for a meeting….Sausage needs to cool it with the grey eyeshadow and wash her face!!! Big black circles around your eyes arent cute!
What does “pulls a Womack” mean? I missed that.
I had the toughest time watching Corrie and Jake in the paddle boat. The awkward silence oozed off the screen and into my living room making me uncomfortable in my own home. However, I made a connection with Corrie after that last episode, too bad Jake didn’t.
I also cringed when Ali ran into the ocean in her boots.
Looking forward to the re-cap Lincee!
1 – WHAT was that black turtleneck he was wearing, i almost vomited on my tv
2 – so glad Ali chose to not talk about ViennaSausage this time, even though she really wanted to
3 – “is ok to fall?” this time i actually did vomit on my tv
4 – is it just me, or do these girls talk with each other much more than in past seasons about their feelings, experiences with jake, etc. it’s weird to me
@28, it means he doesn’t pick anyone and remains a bachelor.
sorry…when did he say “it’s not sex appeal; it’s heart appeal”. gosh, it’s hard to watch and pay attention at work.
thanks, mo!
I am Team Ali! I think she is real and has spoken her mind honestly and openly. I do think it was a little trashy that she straddled him on national TV but it is certainly not the worst thing that has even been done on this show!!
Tenley gets on my nerves! Her high squeaky voice gets under my skin and I don’t think she’s being real… is anyone really that sweet all the time?
CURRENTLY watching bonnie hunt’s show… some producer speaking with bonnie giving the update from the bachelor show last night NOTICED jake WIPING AWAY VIENNA’S SPIT after she kissed him in his bed and began to leave! if you have the show dvr’d…rewind and watch it!! vienna is definitely around to keep the girls guessing.
#32 – i thought he said it about Corrie, but i could be wrong… i remember getting annoyed by it because 1. just because you aren’t having sex with anyone doesn’t mean you can’t have sex appeal, and 2. sex appeal IS part of attraction. It doesn’t make you less of a person to want to find your partner sexy, as well as loveable.
Did anybody notice that Corrie & Jake bump heads while on the boat? LOL
I liked Corrie on her date. It was awkward; she seemed nervous, but she demonstrated true class in not trying to force things, in not going in for the kiss, in standing by her convictions. I almost think Jake let her go because he knew she deserved something better than to have to vie for his attention against four other girls that are willing to straddle him, crawl into bed with him, and shamelessly make out with him. Good for him for sending her home – she deserves better.
#36, you’re so right! sex appeal is TOTALLY necessary in a relationship, even if you’re not having it!
Ali & Tenley are both still around because they’re so sweet and let’s be honest here, if he’s going to have the forego dates, they might as well be hot. Yes, I did notice Jake wiping up after Vienna’s open invitation turned snub. Why? Because clearly, Gia is the one who will be standing in the end despite her bandaid and speech impetiment. Corrie wasn’t released because of her V-card – anyone watching knew that the boat on the pond will go down in history as the most awkward, forced date in Bachelor history! The only thing ABC didn’t do was dub in the crickets chirping. Corrie, sweetie, it’s great to have values and wonderful to stand up for them, but you’ve got to at least hold a conversation with a guy on a date! Bless her heart!
Waiting patiently for a steller recap LIncee – there is plenty of trash to sling…..
Did anyone else think that Corrie seemed like she was hammered in the limo?
Here’s my thought: someone leaves voluntarily next week (hence, no rose ceremony & Jake crying)… my predication – Miss Career herself – Ali.
Tenley is so perfect for Mr. “Who thinks he is perfect” Jake… Either ABC is doing a hell of an edit or Vienna is just an immature little girl… I’m not a hater of Vienna – just really want her to grow up… but I’ve said it before – and I’ll say it again —- maybe Jake wants a rich daddy-in-law and that’s why he’s looking past Vienna’s ‘issues’
And for the record – I just didn’t see the chemistry between Jake and Corrie — don’t think it had anything to do with her ‘v’ card — and frankly – she’s only 23! There are still some girls out there (although I’m sure they are few and far between) that actually make it through high school and college without the proverbial one-night-stand and losing the virginity in a drunken stupor.
Oh boy. Lincee, I agree this is getting more boring every week. Even the teasers are not exciting – it’s all recycled from all the other seasons. Who cares what is on the other side of that hotel room door? I watch the show sans DVR in hopes of relaxing with some wine and trash TV (and b/c I am the last person in America to not have a DVR). Now, instead of relaxing with wine, I am cleaning the kitchen and reading a book. It was that or nap. I tuned in a few times to catch up, but it was painful. It’s the blog that keeps me watching.
Did anyone start singing “Kiss the Girl” from Little Mermaid while Jake and Corrie were in the boat? I sure did? and then the ducks started quacking! AWESOME!
#43, I did! I also sang the “Full House” theme song when they showed the Golden Gate Bridge. That was after I sang along to the “On the Wings of Love” orchestral version.
Needless to say, my husband thinks I’m pretty cool.
Did anyone else notice the can of Coca Cola sitting on the castle steps when Jake was waiting for the limo to arrive? For some reason, I thought that was pretty funny. I liked Corrie because she was nice and normal but I think she stole her date night outfit from my high school wardrobe circa 1981. And Vienna the stalker, omg. I loved how Jake and Gia hid behind the wine barrels and jumped out to scare her. And yes, the G Washington hair was a mess.
Yeah, I agree the V-card wasn’t the kiss of death for Corrie. I’d bet if she didn’t tell him, she still would not have received a rose. Had it been Ali to admit the V-card, he would not have let her go. I think Corrie had the least chemistry with him. She said herself on the date it was their first date! He had developed more of a “relationship” with the other “ladies”.
After last night, how can anyone not think their is chemistry there b/w Jake and Gia? They just can’t seem to keep their hands off each other! He seems to be keeping her around strictly out of lust. They just don’t seem to be anything alike, but he must want the forego date with her. Other than that, I can’t tell who he likes the most. He seems to really like Tenley, which means he probably won’t pick her. I hope nobody leaves next week! They showed all the girls standing there for the rose ceremony in the previews, not that that means much. Maybe they pull an Ed! Or considering that Jake has been changing the rules all along, maybe he wants forego dates with all 4.
1. Men shouldn’t wear turtlenecks
2. Tenley looks the same way I would imagine the Tooth Fairy to look.
3. I think Ali is going to head on out the door next week. She is just going to up and leave. I think she is going to tell him that it is her or Vienna.
4. Jake, it needs to be a little about sex appeal-don’t you think?
5. Corrie and Jake had zero chemistry.
6. No marriage is perfect…but love CAN be. Really Jake? And then you follow that up with the fact that you have “fallen” for five women? What kind of perfect love is that?
#25 Marus! I agree with you on Ali being in the same outfit on her profile part on the first show AND I am almost sure that she was at that same flower stand too! May be wrong but it seemed really familiar last night!
The part that I thought was comical on the Corrie/Jake date was Corrie saying she thought the man should make 90% of “the move” & she would make 10% followed by Jake saying he would be willing to make 80% if the girl would make 20%! Giggle!!! So close but yet so far!!! IMO, Corrie is a classy girl and should (& will be) proud of herself when watching how the show unfolded! (even if she did rat Vienna out on the improv date!!!)
Definitely episodes are getting more and more boring… I still don’t understand why these are two hour episodes. Ali really got on my nerves this time… how many times did she have to say, “we’re in MY city, this is MY neighborhood, we’re in San Francisco, I LIVE here did you know that??” Good lord, we GET IT ALREADY. And that was before she brought out the sundress/boots combo. I am just so disappointed in how this is all playing out – I don’t see any chemistry between any of them – except for maybe Tenley and Ali!
#30 Kelly–I completely agree on the black turtleneck. I kept wondering what bank Jake was going to rob after the date!
#40 D – Yes! She was slurring and seemed a bit dazed.
#42 henry’s mom – I don’t have a DVR either. That makes two of us?
And now my pet peeve, can the girlst PUH-LEASE prounounce “important” WITH the “t” in it? I’m tired of hearing “imporDent”
Looking forward to a great recap!
I think Jake’s body language and his many facial expressions says it all. It was painful to watch him, paste on a fake smile and endure his dates with the girls he’s not really into, ie. Vienna and Corrie. The only time I saw him get a real geeky, ‘you turn me on smile’ was with Gia. Too bad Gia thinks she’s in a Pantene ProV commercial rather than the Bachelor. What’s with the hair tossing and the heavy sweep of the bang in her face all the time??!! Insecure my a$$, the girl knows exactly what she’s doing – and playing coy and baby talk is her game. “You like me? You really like me? Is it okay to fall?…goo goo gaa gaa!” Jake was never cut out for being the ‘Bachelor.’ Every time I watch him interact with the girls, it reminds of every date I’ve been on where the chemistry and connection wasn’t quite right or was lacking in some way but you just plow ahead and hope you’re proven wrong. Good luck dude!
#48k – “Tenley the Tooth Fairy” is a PERFECT description of her. Thanks for the laugh! LOL.
Get out of my head Heidi!
I didn’t sing it last night because I was multitasking while watching, but I was totally singing it while reading all of the comments. The boat date was so the scene from the Little Mermaid. Corrie needed some help from her sealife friends to help “create the mood”. That was her problem. Corrie did turn out to be my favorite, despite her awful comedy routine.
The highlight for me last night was the outake at the end where Tenley, and Corrie were singing opera. Super funny.
I totally see the connection with Gia. He is way into her. He also seems to really like Tenley and Ali but I don’t see Ali as a match for him. Tenley is still a possiblity in my mind though. She seems the most “like him” from what they allow us to see. Vienna has shown him enough to convince him that she is really into him and there for him as he has now said multiple times. She is too immature for him but probably a sweet girl in many ways. She may have him intrigued because she wears her heart on her sleeve and he did that with Jillian. I don’t think he is falling in love with Vienna though. I do see him falling in love with Gia.
I’m pretty sure she is the only woman who has not trash talked Vienna and that makes her a class act in my eyes. She seems genuinely sweet and nice. Tenley also seems that way but not 100% sure it is real all the time. It might be. Just hard to tell with her. Something about Ali doesn’t “fit” with him but I can’t quite put my finger on it. Corrie’s may be a sweet girl with good values but I can’t get past her incredibly mean comedy skit about the other girls. I don’t see Jake with someone who can be that way.
It seemed odd to me that Vienna is the only girl who thinks she really knows Jake. The others all seemed to hardly know him and it seems like we’re really far in the process for them to not know each other. Hometown dates already? “Mom, dad, this is Jake… Um, what’s your last name again?”
Funniest line of the night for me: Jake “Vienna came to my room looking all sexy. I’ll admit, I had dirty thoughts.” With a blush and sheepish grin. Like it wouldn’t have been assumed that he’d have sexual thoughts–but to actually call them “dirty” thoughts reminded me of a middle school boy. I’d bet he’s not very fun or adventurous in bed.
Before they hopped out of the bus to go into the San Fran hotel for the first time, I said “Ali called dibs on first hug” and my husband said “Vienna called dibs on last hug”, before they even got off the bus. Too funny. My husband and I determined last night that those two hate each other so much because they are both totally self-centered. Since they are so alike, they repel each other.
Jake may seem boring to some, but he will make an excellent hubby for right Woman (not girl). Vienna S thinks marriage should be like 6 yr. olds running around happy in love..she is in Fantasyland. How can he, man of values, choose someone (so shallow) like her? He wanted Jillian; she’s no Jillian. Ali is most like J, down to the boots copy-catting, but doesn’t have her great personality & not sure she has his values (emailing on Sunday AM, i.e., not going to church which I’ll bet Jake does). She is shallow, too.
He is most like Tenley: honestly they would be a great couple..both are gooey, sweet & upstanding people. Gia…it’s all about the lust her…she is a hottie (but needy, immature) but I thought she might have had a chance till I saw her Mom on preview. Scary! Go TENLEY!
#9, Heather, I thought the same thing, yes Vienna, it’s a real castle and the King of California used to live there!
#40 D, I think she was hammered in the limo, they had probably been driving her around for hours, no food and plying her with drinks in hopes of getting her to say something entertaining.
Lincee, it can’t be said enough, you’re awesome!
Why was Vienna trying to copy Ali’s look from last week, (and doing it sooooo poorly?). She looked 60.
***Someone re-wind for me! I did last night, & I thought Gia said “it is OK to fall…”, not “IS IT Ok to fall??”
I do like her a lot for not trashing anyone; I just know Jake called her “the most needy” of the group last night even though he thinks she’s hotter N crap…so I don’t think she will make it in the end.
I laughed out loud at the transition from the Ali “straddle” to Jake’s champagne cork-popping, saying “I’ve always wanted to do that….” A toss from the editors.
i don’t find Gia that attractive… i think it’s all that hair. It just annoys me and looks like it’s full of product…
and i loved how, in the limo ride to the “castle”, Gia (i think) said something along the lines of how she’s never been on a date with a guy and another girl, competing for his affection. Really Gia? Because the rest of us do it all the time….
also – the extra scenes at the end usually remind me of how young these girls are… that looked like something my friends and I would’ve done in college maybe…
I am thinking that no one goes home next week. Since Jake has been ditching girls right and left the producers needed to do something to draw out the season a bit more. I think they told Jake to just keep everyone around for another week.
Long time reader, first time poster. The only rational explanation for Ali running into the ocean in her boots has to be that she pulled them out of the treasure chest of clothes that arrived prior to Gia and Vienna’s date. I understand spontaneity, but unless those boots were a freebie, there is no way homegirl would have kept them on to reenact a scene from “The Notebook.” On a side note, I seriously worried the castle date was taking a medieval twist when that trunk arrived.
Also, after Corrie announced that she still has her v-card, I thought Jake looked like the happiest man alive. The grin on his face was from ear to ear—Cheshire Cat style—and while I was slightly creeped out by his level of excitement, I thought she had it in the bag with that revelation.
#2–Too funny. My immediate thought was “nice George Washington hair” when I saw Sausage!
Not sure what was up with the wardrobe on this one. Corrie’s weird dress/tights/pumps ensemble was not really appropriate for rowboating! And Ali’s bad dress and slouch boots didn’t match. And the strange wardrobe trunk that arrived with sequined roller skating outfits? HUH?
I DID thin Jakey looked cute in his turtleneck. The real star of the show was San Francisco. Love that city.
One more thing–WHOA Ali, you check your work email Sunday morning? She was trying to come off all “Oh, I work so much, work is so important to me, etc.”, but then Jake asks, “do you work 7 days a week”?
Uh, no Jake, she checks her email before she goes for mimosas. What kind of emergency could be happening at the Facebook office on Sunday is a mystery to me.
Zzzzzzzz……..oh, I’m sorry, I just woke up from the coma this episode brought on me (actually, I did fall asleep as I watched it on my DVR.) These girls are immature, insecure yawners. PICK NO ONE JAKE!!!!
But thanks to all of you for waking me up with your entertaining comments….
#6 Tracy- I agree that Vienna is annoying, but to insult her b/c her “crossed eyes” is rude. That is not something she can help.
Where to start….well, first of all, this might be the season to officially make me stop watching the Bachelor. Jake doesn’t seem to have a strong connection with any of these women. It’s been fairly boring for the most part and seems pretty scripted. And, I have a hard time believing that all these 23-ish year old women are truly ready to settle down and have kids. it would be nice to have seen some slightly more mature women on this show…but anyways….
1) Vienna – everyone seems to hater her (which I believe is what ABC wants, creative editing) and she has had some less than stellar moments, so I’m not saying she’s my favorite….but who knows what Jake sees in her – obviously something the viewing audience doesn’t
2) Ali – cool chick, but being portrayed as awfully bossy….
3) Tenley – I’ve heard her referred to as the sweetheart of America, but I don’t buy it. She’s a girl and a person like everyone else on this planet. None of us are perfect and all of us have some pretty ugly moments…..but ABC isn’t letting us see that.
4) Gia – Seems like a genuine city gal to me; She’s probably my favorite, but doubt Jake will pick her….
My only other comment is regarding all the criticism these girls get in terms of their appearance and clothing. For the most part, I’m sure none of us are supermodels and have pretty average appearances (I hate my large nose for example!) so I find it hard to swallow some of the comments towards these women, especially when a lot of us wish they had more ‘normal’ women on the show…..I know, they opened themselves up to it by being on National TV….but me and my big nose are sensitive about that stuff
Did you guys think when Jake asked Ali what she does on Sunday morning, he wanted her to answer “I go to church.” I think that may be what he was looking for.
#72 I totally agree! I think that’s the answer he was looking for.
#72 – i thought that too… why else would he say sunday instead of saturday? He’s also said in other episodes that faith is number 1 with him
#71 – i agree. sometimes i feel like a lot of the vienna hate focuses on her eyes and hair extensions. I’m no supermodel, but my last boyfriend liked my red hair and freckles just fine, although lots of people would count those against me.
What WAS the purpose of the trunk of clothes? No overt brand/product placement, the clothes (while not my taste) were ordinary — the type of things these girlf might wear/have with them. Didn’t get it.

#8-Jen — that was by far my favorite line from last night, maybe from the whole season!! I think I am officially on Team Gia now!
I found it odd that on this episode BOTH Ali and Vienna did a complete 180 and BOTH said they just want to see Jake happy and will trust his decisions from here on out. What the?? And am I hallucinating or did Vienna actually at one point call Ali a ‘nice girl’ or something like that?
#72 I totally thought he was trying to check on her beliefs with that question! It’s pretty obvious that he is a churchgoer.
Also …. I’m not trying to be rude with this question but does anyone notice Vienna’s head and neck movements? It seems as if she almost has a tick or something. I’m not cutting her down … I’m not a huge Vienna hater or anything. I have just noticed this for the past few weeks and it just clicked with me last night.
#42 and #52, I can make it three with you.
This was hands down the worst episode in the history of my watching the show, which began with Deanna’s season. I want someone completely new as the Bachelorette because every one of these girls is horrendous.
My only thought throughout the entire episode, which I watched while filling out FSA forms for entertainment, was that Corrie is the worst fashion consultant in history if she can’t even dress herself. But I was sad to see her go.
#70 One more thing… Maybe it wasn’t a nice thing to point out, but hey, she is the one who put herself out there (for the fame IMO), so all is fair game. Sorry if that offended you.
I am guessing Ali isn’t a church-goer if she is checking email and drinking mimosas on Sunday morning? Toss her out, Jake!
As painful as it was to watch last night’s episode, I think I learned a lot.
I don’t understand anyone who didn’t see the chemistry between Gia and Jake. Milord, there is a lot there! He’s definitely attracted to her more than the others, and I think gets off on that whole “I was a geek” thing, because he thinks he’s one too. That being said, I don’t see as F1. Other than a mutual desire to rip each other’s clothes off, they have nothing in common.
Ali still irks me, but I appreciate that she’s trying to act like an adult now. But I see that whole “I wake up checking email” speech as them letting her do an Ed, leave, and maybe come back. They’re running out of original ideas for drama.
I don’t get the Tenley love, but she IS the best out of a pathetic bunch.
And last night I finally understood why he keeps Vienna. It was actually really obvious. I don’t think he’s attracted to her, and I don’t buy for a second that he’s had to force himself to hold back. I don’t think she is like Wes, because Wes was clearly there for self-promotion. Vienna truly (stupidly) thinks she’s going to fall in love. And from what the girls have expressed about their dislike for her, it’s not because she’s “not there for the right reasons,” it’s because she’s annoying and childish. Completely different.
But if you want to know why Jake keeps her, here’s what I saw last night: she’s his friend. Maybe in a kid sister way, but she is the only girl he seems relaxed around. I don’t think that means he’ll pick her. I think it just means she’s his comfort zone right now. He’s obviously uncomfortable with this whole process, and with the other girls, there’s always this added pressure of talking about marriage expectations, who’s getting a rose, etc. Last night, she asked him how he was doing. She just chats with him like they’ve already known each other. While he has ZERO attraction to her from what I can see, he keeps her around because other than OHCH, he has no one else to talk to who could care less about this whole process.
Oh YEAH…the Martha Washington hair-don’t…goodness gracious!! It had a galaxy of its very own it was so freakn HUGE and strange! And tha’ts not a dig at Vienna herself…the hairstyle was just TOO much. It looked like it must’ve taken a whole can of Aqua-net to achieve that gravity-defiance: http://dancehouston.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/big_hair.jpg
One more thing…I would NEVER say that Jake should toss anyone aside because of their appearance (looks, whatever). Vienna is as self-centered as they come, young, immature, spoiled, always-gets-her-way little rich girl (at least that is the way the show has made her out to be), so her eyes and bad hair are not the reason that I think she should go. They are just things that get noticed on a show like this where there are no “normal” girls. They are all size 2 and pretty. For the record, I hate my big nose too
designing woman – I’m totally with you on two points!
1. Yes, I definitely think Jake was hoping Ali would say something about church on a Sunday morning!
2. AND, I definitely think Gia’s mom may work against her. She seems bold and brassy and I don’t know how well Jake will do with that! But I can’t wait to see!
#70 and #71- I agree with you both!
Crazy behavior, terrible outfits, wild hair-dos… Let the commenting continue, BUT…
Physical characteristics that someone is born with… leave it alone!
OMG -Vienna’s hair – I couldn’t decide if it was Martha Washington or Bride of Frankenstein! The worst!
My husband had my fav line of the night -
when Ali was saying “I just want Jake to be happy”. He said ” these women are so full of it! I just want him to be happy…..WITH ME!!!”
So many awkward moments last night…
I can’t believe Im saying this, but I started to root for Tenley…still, tho, betting on him picking nobody – or at least not being with whoever he picked….
Thanks #86.
I don’t think just b/c someone goes on a dating show, their physical appearances are open game.
I like making fun of the crazies that go on the show as much as the next person, but I think we need to draw a line somewhere.
It’s gotta be super flexible Ali. The long and short of it is that Jake isn’t going to last with a high maintenance woman. We all know that Gia (“Stiletto”) is HIGH maintenance, Vienna (“Bird’s Nest”) is a princess and badly-done high maintenance, and I suspect Tenley “Shirley Temple ringlets” leans that way as well. Ali doesn’t seem to. Gia is a sexpot that he’s definitely hot for, so if Ali doesn’t get the nod, I say it’s Gia. Vienna is out next week when her father tells Jake what she spends on hair extensions done by Britney Spears.
#67–Your comments made me laugh so hard! Total Notebook moment with Ali and Jake!
#82–You are right, Vienna treats Jake like is is a living, breathing, human, not some flanneled hunk of meat who is there to put a ring on someone’s finger and whisk them away to la la land (on the wings of love). Sorry if someone else already mentioned this, but why won’t there be a rose ceremony next week? Speculation please.
Travelbug, I read over on Reality Steve what happens, but I won’t post it here b/c some people don’t like the spoilers. If you go to his site (even though I really don’t like him), you can read about what will happen.
I know that Tenley is not everyone’s “cup of tea”, but I think she seems to fit Jake the best out of the girls left. She kind of reminds me of Jillian – happy, goofy, fun, etc. She and Jake seemed to have alot of fun together on their one on one date.
But there is no denying he is really into Gia. I can’t call it.
And for the record, I can’t stand Ali. I really liked her a couple of episodes ago, but she is mean and nasty, unless she is in the spotlight with Jake.
Oh, and I agree about criticisms of physical issues — their mode of dress, make-up, hair nightmares, and etiquette are certainly fair game, but born-with physical abnormalities are off limits, please!
Okay…first things first. Corey is gone, not because of the V-card confession (Jake does profess to be the “nice guy”), but because they had NO chemistry. If it is that painful on TV, just imagine how it must have been in person. Sheesh! He was in your face..if you want to give him a smooch, go for it! Don’t wait for him to lean in, he already came across the canoe to sit that close to you!! And, her weird lip pursing face at the rose ceremony just made me want him to boot her even more. Then came the limo statement…If he weren’t dating 4 other girls, it would have been different. Duh, ya think!?! Someone didn’t read the contract very well! LOL!
Vienna’s hair looked like she fixed it before she went to bed, then woke up and put a little new makeup and a dress on. Yikes. They must have covered all of the mirrors in the hotel that day. Not that she is cute anyway. I think she’ll be gone next week after he meets her fam and realized that she is too much of a princess/daddy’s girl. Afterall, I think we all aspire to raise children, not our spouse/sig other.
As for the resident Plastic, Allie, my husband has started to call her Alley Cat because she is incredibly vicious! Her little confession with Jake where she says, “I’m over it, I’m letting it go” was a little too forced for me. She may be a nice person in real life, but I’m not buying it for the show. She is out for blood. Not that I like Vienna (at all), but the little in-room episode where she pretends that she didn’t say anything mean about Vienna and confronts her asking her to tell her what problems she has with her to her face. Seriously? Did they script this part? I feel like I’ve seen it in a dozen high school movies.
I’m still on team Tenley. I really like her. She is nice to everyone and her and Jake seem to make a good match. But I’m sure in true Bachelor fashion, he will get rid of her for some dumb reason and choose someone else. Lets just hope we don’t have another Jason-Melissa-Molly situation.
Favorite line of this snoozefest…”Umm, You can eat my salmon!” Hahahahhaha!!! Go Gia! By the way, Gia, I really like you, but when a guy names the fact that you’re hot as one of the reasons he likes you, he doesn’t really like you THAT much. He just wants to sleep with you and then see if he still likes you. But I must say, you are very beautiful.
Hopefully next week will be better. The families usually add a nice twist at this point. Although, I’m definatley not looking forward to the tell-all episode. Those always suck. This one is headed that way before they even start the promos.
We need a saucy Bachelorette next season to make up for this season.
I just can’t bring myself to like Gia because she dated Carl Pavano. I’m not ok with that.
Good grief give it a rest. We are all just having fun. If you don’t want people to say anything about you, then don’t go on tv – plain and simple. When you expose yourself on reality tv you give up the luxury of being treated fairly (ie bad edits – Ali and essentially being called a whore – Roz). There are many people out there who are ripped to shreads all the time because they are “personalities”. These girls are no different. So please stop trying to ruin the fun!
#95- Heidi- Who is Carl Pavano?
Haven’t had time to read through all the comments, so my apologies if someone else has posted this, but apparently Corrie lives in a suburb of my city (Birmingham, AL, and not Kissimee, FL that shows up under her name and age) and was on the local ABC affiliate at 10 last night. She seemed more juvenile to me in this clip, and it’s sort of a snore (also, the news anchor seems ignorant about what questions to even ask) but thought I’d share it for those of you on Team Corrie.

#90 travelbug — about Vienna treating him like a normal human being…
Go back and watch when she is sitting with him in the castle (during their 1-on-1 time). She says something along the lines of “I’ve got my eye on the prize” and then look at his reaction. I think he was really disappointed to hear her refer to him as a “prize” because I do agree that he feels like she is the one being the best “friend” to him during this. But, when she said that, I think he realized that this is all a competition to her, too.
I think Jake is just exhausted with this whole process. He looks so over it…and very, very tired. I kinda feel sorry for the guy.
- #60 Reno, I laughed out loud at your “King of California” comment!
- Definitely don’t think the V-card is why Jake dumped Corrie…just no chemistry.
- Totally agree that it would have been nice to see women closer to Jake’s age. I think that if he had it to do over, based on what he knows now, he’d choose different women to keep/let go at the very first party.
- Don’t agree at all about the comparison to Wes. In that case, there was something very specific that Jake (and some of the others) thought that Wes was hiding and that Jillian should know. In this case, there is nothing specific that Vienna has done/said…it’s just that they don’t feel her personality is suitable for Jake.
- While I do think it would be sort of creepy to be kissing a guy who is also kissing other girls, I really don’t see anything wrong with the girls making-out with Jake….there are plenty of girls/women who do much more after having known a guy for a much shorter time, so this seems like pretty harmless stuff. Where I start to get concerned is if they choose to have sex on the “forego” dates…I hope none of them do that just because they feel they “have” to in order to stay competitive…they will probably end up regretting it, especially if they aren’t the one chosen.
Many of you don’t understand the attraction to Vienna. I think he likes the fact she is thrilled to be with him. He has been rejected a few times in the past and is basically insecure. He wants to please everyone because he can’t handle rejection. He feels very bad when he has to reject other people. In the end, the security of knowing Vienna won’t reject him and the fact that she will be extremely hurt maybe the deciding factor for this boy. Of course, Tenley might get some points because she was rejected by husband for a “floozy”.
Thanks Fashionista! I will check it out.
I couldn’t stop laughing at the dog that kept running into the water when Jake and Ali were inexplicably standing in what must have been freezing water.
Also I can’t wait until Vienna’s hometown date – just the brief preview made me re-think where she comes from. I was picturing spoiled rich princess, but she looks like she might just be queen of the trailer park. I’m going to guess that daddy’s got a gun, and is missing a few teeth.
Carl Pavano is a baseball player, pitcher to be exact. He was kind of a big disappointment for the Yankees- which was when he dated Gia. Not that those two events are related. I just don’t like the Yankees. He’s not a bad looking guy; he kind of has the whole tall dark and handsome thing going for him. I’ve just never really liked him for some reason. However, I’m being forced to like him now because he plays for my beloved Minnesota Twins.
…hair extensions done by Brittany Spears…LOL! Vienna Saus. Eye make-up must be done by Batman!
Look what fun we’re having! It was not the most boring show except for Ali’s date, that was a real sleeper except for her crazy outfit:
Doesnt ANYONE out there agree she wasCHANNELLING JILLIAN with the sundress, boots, and straddling?? I agree she is a ring-leader among the girls (bossy but respected group leader)…she thinks she is the cool girl in the group. She really is the Cool girl with who’s left…but that isn’t Jake…he is identifying with Gia (shy, not an early dater either) & Tenley (she’s grounded & has matured with what she learned from her 1st marriage)…. & that makes sense to me. I am down to these 2 as his matches.
#72 I read somewhere that the SF date with Ali was filmed on a Sunday, which might make it a little less of a loaded question about what a Sunday looks like for Ali…
I forgot about the “you can eat my salmon” line from Gia! That was the best of the season I think…was a surprise to see how witty Gia could be. And #94 Julie, I love it “he just wants to sleep with you and see if he still likes you”. Funny stuff!
Everyone keeps saying how boring this season is, but I really think it’s funny. I just think Jake isn’t nearly as comfortable with the whole situation as the past Bachelors have been. He seems to have a hard time making out with one girl, and then having an intimate moment with a different girl right afterwards, ie: made out with Gia and then wouldn’t even kiss Vienna. I agree that he just looks at her more like a good buddy rather than a wife.
You can talk about Vienna’s amazing ability to talk with her teeth. Who needs lips? Am I the only one seeing/hearing this?
Loved Corrie. Not for him, but loved her all the same.
I thought the opera “singing” at the end was hilarious. Tenley and Corrie can be fun.
Vienna wandering the dark castle acting like the boogedy man was going to get her….hahahahaa I guess Gary the camera guy didn’t offer any comfort.
Why I think Vienna will go all the way: He is himself with her!
Let’s face it…
-Tenley, sweet and all, is a bit too eager to please, to be loved. Lincee had it right likening her to Enchanted’s Giselle (and hearing her sing in last night’s ending credits only confirmed that in my mind). Everyone could use an optimistic outlook on life, but I find her excessive idealism rather cloying. I think Jake does too.
-Gia, baby-talking Gia. She’s made it this far because the girl is attractive. Their conversations lack any substance. Unlike with the other girls, he doesn’t ask her questions – and vice versa, except the “am I special” question. Once that girl brings her finger to her mouth and looks up at him with her puppy eyes, it’s spit-swapping time.
-Ali is just too out-spoken and independent for our bachelor. I watched him through this date, and he just looked bored and uninterested. What was on his mind? Vienna – asking Ali what her hate was about. I think the only time he seemed semi-interested in the girl was when she was literally straddling him, and he got to caress her butt.
The only time Jake lets his guard down is with Vienna. Last night during the cocktail party, when he took her aside for their one-on-one time, she asked him: How are you doing? I think it’s the first time I heard any of these girls ask him how he’s doing. And he looked like he needed to be asked because he responded with such candor: this sucks. In that moment, he looked completely tired and ready for all of it to end, and who was he confiding in – Vienna. Maybe V is annoying and childish, but she seems to know how to get to our bachelor and isn’t that what matters?
I think someone leaves early and that is why they don’t need a rose ceremony!? But who?
Good job to the ladies keeping their comments to the things that happen on the show! I can almost guess who would/ would not be my friend in real life based on these comments. The funnier the better, but it is not “fun” or funny to put down people’s physical abnormalities. There is enough to comment on without being vicious… their wacky personalities, bad choices, and all around cheesiness.
First time poster – love lincee! Overall, I like Jake, he seems like a good guy. I think Jake’s problem is that he harbors a secret fear that he’s gay. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that!) I personally think he’s very straight, until he goes out of his way to make sure that we, the viewers, know that he is all man. The best example is when he felt the need to describe to the audience that he wanted to be “dirty” with Vienna when she came to his bed in the castle. No you didn’t Jake! We all saw the awkwardness. You wanted her to go away immediately. Can’t say I blame you, but sweetpea that does not mean that you are gay. We would not have questioned your manhood on the basis of that decision. I promise. I also think that is why he was obviously relieved when Corrie made her confession. He was apparently haunted by her lack of physical interest and when he could find a reason for the lack of chemistry he could send Corrie on her way without any doubt about his own manhood. He was so utterly relieved by her virginity that it was weird.
I think he will make an excellent husband for someone, just probably not for any of these girls.
okay, anyone willing to take the bet that the father shown in the previews talking about treating his daughter like a princess is NOT Vienna’s dad? Another ABC set-up?
Also – did anyone else think it was awkward when Jake asked Tenley what mistakes she had made in her marriage (you know, the one that ended with her husband cheating on her). And then it made me feel bad for her, when she said she wished she had jumped up from the couch to greet him everytime he walked in… it made me sad… like she almost blamed herself for him cheating…
You are right about this being the most.boring.episode.ever Lincee! I have my own little blog and I was struggling to find the words for this episode. There really wasn’t even too much to be snarky about. Well, except Jake’s turtleneck (!)…
Next week has to be better, right? Right?
I’ll start reading the comments now, but all I could think of last night was “Virgin Sacrifice!”
#109 I actually agree with you on the Vienna thing, he does seem the most comfortable around her. And she does seem to be overly excited to be there with him…she never quits smiling when she is talking to him, and what a big smile it is (is that OK to say?). I really just think Jake is ready to be done. I don’t think he realized what he was signing up for. I am guessing Ali or Tenley (whichever he doesn’t pick) is going to be the next Bachelorette? Or maybe we’ll see them on the new Bachelor Pad!
My two cents…
Ali- Mean girl. Just here to win the game. The nice girl/scared to fly of the first couple shows was all an act. I bought it!
Vienna- Shallow as a puddle, but really here for Jake. I found her annoying since she dressed up her doggie and took her out to lunch, but she now seems to be acting the most real with him… as ditzy as that may be, I give her credit. Also, I give her a lot of creidt for putting up with Ali and her mean army. With all that said, I don’t think Jake chooses her. He didn’t make out with her. Enough said.
Tenley- Really cheesy and annoying to me, but seems perfect for Jake.
Gia- She likes him b/c he is the bachelor, he likes her b/c she is sexy. Don’t see it in the long run.
I think he pulls a hotter than crap Brad!
p.s. Lincee makes fun of these girl’s behavior and antics. She never attacks anyone personally. Some of you could learn a lesson!
#43 – Totally agree. I turned to my daughter and said, “this is right out of Little Mermaid” and started singing Kiss The Girl. Poor Corrie and jake – absolutely no chemistry at all. It was very, very awkward.
Is it my imagination, or was Ali also wearing her Martha Washington hairstyle when the rose ceremony reception began, and then it was down messy in the next scene.??
Vienna is just so trampy. I don’t think she really loves Jake – she just wants to be the winner. Her baby talk gets on my nerves. As does Gia’s. Gia is pretty, but why does she take all her hair and put it in the front, leaving nothing on her back. Also, it really got on my nerves how she kept putting her fingers in her mouth. She reminded me of my 12 year old who is constantly biting her nails.
Funniest comment when they got to the “castle” , Jake saying, “it’s 14th century Tuscan” or something like that. They are in California- there is nothing 14th century there!
108 – Ruby25 – I mentioned to my husband last night about Gary the camera guy being with Vienna – he’s like, “who”? So now he thinks I know the crew!
Tenley wears WAY too much eye makeup…or something…her eyes bug me that’s all I know!
Ha! I thought the same thing when Jake and Corrie were all awkward in the boat….I told my husband I was waiting for the crab to come out and start singing “Kiss The Girl.”
I say bring back hotter than crap Brad — he was the hottest, most interesting bachelor ever — anybody know what he’s up to these days? still running bars in Austin? just curious….
There was a virgin on the show? The last virgin I met was an ugly 8th grader.
#118 AR – I was thinking the SAME THING. Columbus wasn’t even here in 14th century…..let alone any European that would have built in teh Tuscan style. The style may have been 14th century Tuscan but the structure itself sure wasn’t!!!!!
I don’t think Jake got rid of Corrie because of her virginity reveal. I think it was the ONLY thing that might have saved her. I think it came down to him picking the 4 that most indicated to him that they DESPERATELY wanted to be there.
If Vienna “wins” I will PUKE! I’m don’t see that one other than her feeding his ego in some strange, sick way.
I think Tenley fits Jake need to be the hero. She gets my vote.
Geez these girls are way too young for Jake. I was married at 25, but I can tell you the maturity level between 25 and 30 is WAY WAY different.
I’m so glad to read that I wasn’t the only one that was concerned about the boots in the water! LOL. That was all I could focus on during that scene. “OMG… she is ruining those boots!!”.
#109 – Viva Vienna – You make a good point. As annoying as she is to everyone else, Vienna will probably be the one standing in the end. I totally agree with all your points.
So… ya think the girls are reading all this? We should probably be nicer.
nah…
I believe Jake will pull a Womack after Ali leaves. Ali looked like she just smelled a fart at the rose ceremony. She is angry about Vienna. She didn’t like the time he spent with her or something set her off. She basically told in no uncertain terms that she didn’t like the fact he was keeping Vienna around. I am sorry but she came out very strongly in “Woman-Speak” that Vienna just had to go at the next rose ceremony. He was just too dense to figure it out.
Also, I thought he was relieved that Corrie was a virgin. His ego is so fragile that he couldn’t understand why she wasn’t throwing herself at him. He is such a gentlemen that he can’t pull the trigger. He has to have the girl molest him. Girls that play hard to get are doomed. He needs an Ali or Vienna. Tenley and Gia aren’t agressive enough for him.
Okay, so I don’t read all the comments and this may have already been noted, but can we please PLEASE refer to Vienna from now on as Vienna Sausage Face? Thanks.
Maybe it’s because I’m from New York, but I thought Jake looked great in his black turtleneck!
#45—the whole family too saw the Coke can and thought it was hysterical.
#53—completely agree and I even did the goo goo gaa gaa the same way out loud.
#68—same thought about Corrie’s clothes. I swear Jake would fall in love with someone who showed up in flat shoes and as casual as he was.
Ali thoughts: I think she may have been encouraged by staff to do the straddle. They both looked uncomfortable. I think Jake will question that she actually has a job.
I think that since Lincee mentioned Elizabeth’s wacky boobs, I am going to state that I think we’d all be surprised to see what Gia actually used to look like. The nose has been done a couple times and her lips drive me bonkers. And that is just the face. Note here on Maxim magazine what he nose used to look like. It was fine and I think she is crazy for all the work done.

I liked the turtleneck too…call me a nerd.
Long time reader, first time poster. I really wanted to like Ali, but the more I see of her the less I like! I was particularly bothered by the very large bag that she packed to go on her date, but only Jake carried through the streets of SF. My husband is the consumate gentleman, but I always get an eye-roll and a sigh even when I ask him to hold my purse for just a second. (And I’m not a big purse gal.) I don’t know it just seemed wierd and it made me laugh to watch him lug that thing around. I was also disturbed by the straddling and making out in the park, it was uncomfortable to watch.
Corrie deserves a special and wonderful husband. Jake is a good guy, I think he knew that Corrie deserves something special that he couldn’t give her.
Not that I am a big fan of any of these girls, does anyone else not see that what the girls are doing about Vienna is the same exact thing that he did about Wes?! It literally makes me sick watching because he’s the biggest hypocrite on the planet. Please grow some balls.
Team Tenley!! I think that the two of them are the best match.
My favorite part (being a Texan and all) was when Jake talked about being almost completely “nekkid” when Vienna came in. He really doesn’t have much of an accent but it all came out in that one word. Loved it!!
Vienna is selfish and immature. I’m 23, married, and can’t believe we are the same age! When she talked about what she expects marriage to be like my first response was “That’s not reality sweetheart”. Marriage is great, but it is not bouncing around first thing in the morning going I LOVE YOU! for the next 60 years.
I found it interesting that Jake asked Tenley about the mistakes she made in her marriage already knowing that it was her husband who left her for another woman. It was definitely a valid question because after all it take two to tango, but it almost seemed (to me at least) that he wanted to hear that she was indeed human and had faults. I found her response refreshingly sincere, but I still don’t think she’ll make it all the way.
BTW – I liked Jake in the turtle necks!
For those of you commenting about Ali straddling Jake on their date, as a native San Franciscan I can tell you that’s about par for the course out where they were, which is called Crissy Field, in the Marina district of SF. What with all the cameras and production people standing around, onlookers likely thought it was part of a movie being filmed, Crissy Field being a popular scenic spot for films.
Lincee’s 5th Episode blog is up!!!
I didn’t think this episode was too boring until the Ali date. Wow- what a snoozer. I’m not even sure if I can recall what happened, other than the awkward outfit. I couldn’t figure out what season it was. Tenley dressed like it was winter and Jake wore a turtleneck (!) which sould be illegal for dudes. Even my husband was appalled! Then Ali wears a sundress and boots. What the heck was going on with the weather in SF that weekend?
I can’t believe bow many of you made the Little Mermaid connection. I totally looked at my sister and said “Is this not the Little Mermaid?” Sooo bizarre.
Poor Corrie. Having been an older virgin myself (Sgt Cole- I was not an ugly 8th grader! ha!), I can totally see how she might think that’s why she’s cut. I personally don’t think Jake let her go for that reason. He seems really honest about his values and I don’t think he’s on this show for the nookie. He seems to be the least horndogish. After all, if he would be having more fun and enjoying the process if he was just doing it for some booty.
I can’t see how people really like Ali. She is totally a mean girl in denial. That speech she gave Jake about Vienna was fake as hell. That’s not how she truly felt. Just a few days before she was being mean to Vienna TO HER FACE and then acted like she didn’t understand why V got upset. Seriously- not cool.
I’m ready for this season to be over. No offense to Jake because I actually like him as a bachelor. Sure he’s not as funny or charming as the others, but I at least find his attempt to find his true love refreshing. I REALLY hope we don’t have any recycled bachettes from this season. They all suck.
I think Jake is handsome and he seems like a nice guy but he has trouble carrying on a conversation with all of the women. Maybe he’s nervous or maybe it is just the way they have edited the show.
Tenley’s “Minnie Mouse” voice grates on my nerves and she seems a little bit fake. Vienna is so immature and spoiled— I don’t see anyone being able to make her happy. She desperately needs some advice on eye make-up because she comes off looking like a racoon sometimes. Gia is attractive but she seems to play the “coy” bit with her hair and her fingers in her mouth. Personally I like Ali because she seems more natural and down-to-earth. One thing I know for sure, I think I’ll puke if I hear the word AMAZING again.
I like an occasional turtleneck on a guy!
I agree Tenley is the best match, however… best match=kiss of death!
Vienna seems manipulative, when she cries she acts like she is waiting for him to comfort her, etc. I thought it was really stupid Vienna’s walk through the castle, scared!! Just her and the camera crew people, how terrifying!
He is going to decide Gia is too good for him. He will pick Vienna cause she is the worst possible choice, but she accepted him when he was freaking on the bridge.
First of all, I love your blog! I can’t believe this is the first time I’ve commented.
Secondly, I’ve had TWO run-ins with Brian the IT Consultant from ATL (Jillian’s season) in the past week…you know, the nerdy looking guy who tried to wear glasses to be sexy but you could tell his prescription is really bad b/c the glasses were really thick and therefore not sexy. He’s infamous for the time he got naked in front of everyone and jumped in the pool (awk-ward). Aaanyway…you’re probably one of the few people who would appreciate these encounters.
The first run-in was at my birthday party last week. Him and his gelly-haired possy showed up at the same pub, I shot him a few “I know who you are” glances and I resisted the urge to go up to him, pat him on the shoulder and say, “Hey Brian…it’s gonna be ok…we’ve almost completely forgotten about you and your embarrassing birthday-suit-swan-dive.” The second encounter: we were stopped next to each other at a traffic light for what seemed like eternity. The only two cars on the road. Me in my sensible 4-door sedan….and him in his pimped out short-man syndrome ESCALADE. Go little man, go!
*I feel like I should have put a disclaimer with these comments….does your disclaimer apply to comments as well?
I am surprised as many people are making a comparison with sausage and wes.
Wes was there for the fame, nothing more. his intentions were not “good” from the very beginning and frankly he was a jackass. And he never even gave a damn about jill.
While I don’t especially care for vienna sausage…I have not seen anything that leads me to believe she has a boyfriend back home or something equally “sinister”. She actually appears to like jake…at least as much as you can given the process. She’s just annoying. So if Jake keeps her…how is that hypocritical. The girls haven’t told him she’s the antichrist…only that she annoys them. (Frankly I’d probably like the girl that annoyed that house of idiots the most too. they are all a bunch of zeros.)
As far as I can tell the girls don’t like her because she is shallow, immature, speaks her mind, all of the above. I really don’t see how that compares to what Wes did or the multiple warnings Jill got about his being a bastard.
And Wes was a complete IDIOT about how he’d confess repeatedly about loving the fame and attentiong. He might have considered the audience may not actually appreciate that and therefore not buy his album as a result. Making his entire time on the show a waste. But hey…Love…it don’t come eeeeaaaaasssssy.
