The Bachelorette Episode 3: Hobble Down the Highway

Another week and I'm still waiting for Jake Pavelka to make a surprise appearance. But shockingly, he is no where to be seen.

Who I Like - I know people don't like Justin, but he is just so hot and he called his mom gorgeous which was sweet (he is a little like Vienna though); John L & Steve is adorable and John C is just goofy and sweet.

The show starts off with Ali (wearing a blue, very 80's off the shoulder t-shirt) and Roberto going on a one-on-one date. Poor Ali. She is terrified of flying and ABC keeps putting her in the air, starting with a helicopter ride and then on a building 20 stories above LA. How cute is Roberto? He is walking on a tight rope on a very high 20 story building and he just stands there grinning. As Ali and Roberto ("Fall for each other"), it reminded me of the bungee jumping Jake and Vienna, especially when they kiss in the air. How in the world can they kiss each other up in the air like that? I would probably be so fearful and feeling like puking in his mouth. Well, at least she didn't puke.

I'll admit it, I wasn't a Roberto fan at the beginning but he is growing on me. Still unsure if he is right for Ali though.

On a side note, I am hearing a lot of spoiler rumors about who wins and who might win and I am choosing not to read. Wishing people would stop spoiling the ending for us already!!!

Back to the date with Roberto, Ali likes him and he is definitely getting a rose. Everyone can see it. Oh no. Ali says the "P" word to Roberto, meaning Perfect. She tells Roberto that the date is perfect. I'm thinking it's the kiss of death- remember Jillian and Jake. Yup, Jake was too perfect for her.

Time for the group date --> The limo pulls up in the middle of no where and see the Barenaked Ladies playing music in the middle of the road. This Bachelorette is a very Canadian theme. Cool date. They get to be in a music video. ABC picks the strangest bands to play in each show. No offense to the Naked Ladies, I like them and all, but it is a weird choice. Great publicity for them - wonder how much they pay to be on the show. They start to shoot the music video and of course, there is a lot of kissy-kissy. Poor John C. He is so sweet and getting no attention. The weatherman is still a bit odd- I still remember him from last week refusing to wear a thong. He is always so uncomfortable for someone whose day job is LIVE ON TELEVISION!! Kiss of death for Jonathan. I'm loving Craig R's side comments. I find him so funny for some reason. He always has something to say and a bit of a goof ball. I don't even think he's even talked to Ali at this point.

Oh no, Jonathan don't cry! Girls like guys who cry (Ali did) but guys don't. The weatherman will definitely be crying if he gets sent home. Are Kirk and Ali having sex? Looks like they could be. A little racy, don't you think. That was pretty gross and a little disrespectful. Later on, they go out for the evening and John L talks about his mom. I like John- he is so damm sweet and Ali likes him. Give him the rose!!!

Oh goodness. Jonathan talks to Ali about his nerves. I'm thinking weatherman and Frank need to go home. Kirks gets the rose.



Another date card arrives and Hunter gets the one on one date. Card reads: "Home is where the heart is." Isn't that a movie starring Natalie Portman? Justin hobbles out of the house and down the street to see Ali. I thought it was sweet. Hobble down the highway. So Ali is talking to the camera about Hunter and you see Justin behind her. The camera guys pretended they were surprised to see him. Come on, a camera FOLLOWED Justin down the highway so it was no surprise he was there. Good job, Justin! Now, he gets to hang out with Ali. Major points scored. They should have made Justin walk back to the house though.

Hunter and Ali go on their one on one date. Hunter and Ali have a relaxed BBQ by the pool. Seems like Hunter wants to be a stay at home husband (not that anything is wrong with that). Don't really see a connection between them. They sit in a hot tub, wearing literally nothing, and they are not even touching!! friend zone alert. Hunter does not get a rose.

At the rose ceremony, love how Steve brought the date to Ali. He literally hasn't spoken to Ali the whole time so it was nice he got some airtime (even if he couldn't open up that bottle of wine). The boys hate Justin but in the end, he gets a rose.
