Bachelorette - Ep 8
Spain - Olame!


(bad joke, but hey, it was a bad episode.)

I know that I've said this before, but I'm really gonna keep this recap brief. I can do this 'cause the entire episode, save a coupla moments, was a snoozefest!

***spoiler, spoiler***
Like gf didn't even use up any of those Fantasy Suites, so no one got laid. Boooring.

Anyway, in this episode, Jill whisks the remaining bachelors to Spain. The first location is Madrid with...

Kiptyn, 31yo, Business Developer
Jill keeps on saying that he's perfect, blah, blah, blah, but honestly, there's just something missing. (A BIG minus is that he's not particularly funny!) He seems to be holding back.

Red flag alert: He says, "I think proposal seems far off at this point in time." Hel-lo douchebag, you're supposed to propose to her at the end of this show!!! Oh and they don't flamenco well together = bad in bed.

In addition to being unfunny and seemingly having commitment issues, I'm determined that he's the one with the erectile dysfunction.

Btw, what ever happened to that huge tease? Does anyone even have a problem performing in the bedroom? I think they alluded to this like 3 weeks ago, but never again!

Fantasy Suite: Jill says some shit about having real feelings for him and not wanting to get those feelings "mixed up". (Kiptyn looks almost relieved.) Lame, but respectable...I guess. Instead, they go back to her room to "cuddle". Honestly, wtf is the difference between shacking up in the Fantasy Suite Vs. her hotel room, the expectations?

Now, onto Savilla!

Reid, 30yo, Realtor
Like how cute is he? He's both J & my front-runner in this whole sham thing. He's soo cute that I've posted an alternate, more flattering photo!

Jill & him are also very cute together. Trying to get some food for a picnic, they discover that they're both horrible in Spanish.

Reid admits to Jill that he "moves slow in relationships". Out of the remaining bachelors, Reid seems the most sincere. I don't doubt anything that he says, he doesn't have any ulterior motives, and he seems to have real feelings for Jill. Plus, it seems as though he's really come "out of his shell" as his rship with Jill has developed.

It's a pleasure to see this unfold! They seem to have fun together. :)

Fantasy Suite: Reid leaves the decision up to Jill and she busts out the same shit about not wanting to ruin something "special". Hesitantly, Reid respects her decision, but says that her decision "sucks".

Ed, 29yo, Tech Consultant
First, is Ed actually an abbreviation for e.d....erectile dysfunction? YES, I'm obsessed with this.

Anyway, this guy is Snoozefest 2009. Jill & his conversation just goes in circles, her: "I'm soo glad that you came back", him: "I just couldn't stop thinking about you", blah, blah, blah. When he talks, I just feel as though I'm Charlie Brown and he's the faceless teacher.

I think that Jill & him just have physical chemistry and not much else. <-- GROSS!

Red flags: Girl, he dumped you once, he'll dump you again! He also doesn't maintain eye contact when he speaks = shifty.

Ed's known as the "workaholic" and I find people who fall into this category lack a real personality. For the most part, they just say the "right stuff", but that's lacklustre. And I swear that as soon as Jill's out of the picture, he's right back on his laptop, working from Spain!

Fantasy Suite: Same shit, Jill doesn't want to get confused. Ed is proactive by saying that he would like to spend the night with her. (<-- Ace move!) Jill tells him that she feels even more protective about herself - especially since he's left before. HOWEVER, she does want to do some catching up with him. They keep their clothes on.

Honestly, brushing out Stella's mats was waaay more intriguing than their date! *yawn*

Onto Barcelona...
Wes - 32yo, Musician
Quote of the fuckin' episode: I don't know much about the music scene in Barcelona, but I had a song in my second album that was actually #1 in Chihuahua, Mexico, so I'll feel at home, living around Spanish people.

WHAT. A. MORON.

Wes' lying is really wearing him down 'cause he's not as enthusiastic, his voice is monotone, & he's a broken record...saying what he thinks Jill wants to hear.

I'm quite impressed 'cause Jill catches onto this change and his distant body language. (She's no dumb-dumb.) There is no romance on this date.

Jill continues to grill him at dinner (painful!) and initially, he continues to deny rumours about having a gf. HOWEVER, after Jill brings up Laurel, he slips up by saying, "My girlfriend...I mean, ex-girlfriend". Jill rolls her eyes and sighs.

Fantasy Suite: Awkwardly, Wes reads the invitation. Without any shame, he says, "I think we should".

Without passing GO, Jill sends Wes away in a taxi. She says that instead of hating and wishing the worse for people like Wes, she just feels "sorry for them". All along, I thought she was ignoring the red flags, but she just needed to see for herself that Wes was bad news!

Rose Ceremony
A second quote of the episode from Wes: If it's me, you boys will know that I'll be back home...having lotsa sex!

He knows that he's soo going home and he doesn't care.
Pan to Reid who looks completely horrified.

Rose Count: Ed (gross, does he have a big dick or something?), Reid (yeah! *shakes fists in the air*), & Kiptyn (duh).

Limo Ride: I think the chauffeur drove in circles, whilst refilling Wes' lowball with bourbon or something, 'cause he went on a drunken rant. He basically admits to be "the first guy ever in Bachelorette to make it to top 4...with a girlfriend". He should be soo proud. He also alludes to potentially gettin' some on his last night in Spain. *puke*

Things to look forward to: Maui...HAWAII! The finalé's in 3 weeks from now and it seems to be shrouded in even more dramz. ;)
