So, last night on The Bachelor, I’m pretty sure Jake just wanted to pack them all up in the RV’s and burn every last remaining rose. Or maybe that was just me. He sends both women home on a 2 to 1 date, which, I’m glad because you know he’s not ready to dive into a relationship with a ready made son, and you know there was zero there with Kathryn, despite both their best efforts to change that.

Corrie finally steps up, and there seemed to be a little something there at first, enough to get her through this week, but I don’t think it will surprise anyone if she goes next week. Yeah, yeah, I know, we all want Vienna to go by now. I don’t think she’s so heinous as all that, but definitely immature. And now that the fog has lifted after their intense first date, Jake is surely seeing it, too. And don’t you like how he’s the first guy on there to sort of give it right back to them? “Yes, the women are mean to you…but don’t you think you egg them on?” HA!

Of course, by mean women, he means Ali. Or maybe he doesn’t know she’s Queen of Mean Girl Mountain, but wow, she’s like obsessed with bashing the kid. I wonder if she’ll follow through on her threat (and it was most certainly that) to tell Jake off. I know I’d love that. Talk about kill your own chances. So Ashleigh and Jessie both go home at the rose ceremony when Jake asks Chris to reduce his pain by one rose so he can get two more women right the heck outta there. If he’s not feelin it? You’re toast. And honestly? That’s how I’d rather get booted. If I were the type to actually allow myself to compete on national television for the attentions of one guy. Which I’m not. Everything about this goes so against the grain of how to start a relationship, it’s just a trainwreck to see. Which is why I usually avoid it like the plague. Now a show with a bunch of Bachelors and a bunch of women, going on amazing dates and figuring things out might be interesting… At least more have a fighting chance.

Anyway, this is not that show. And at this point, the only women I see with a glimmer of a chance are Tenley and Gia. And though I can see the attraction with “used to be a nerd” Gia, I think Tenley is the super sweet, saved myself for marriage type that is more in sync with the spiritual Jake. However, there are rumors out there… Check out Reality Steve if the site is functioning (which it often isn’t) and check out his pre-season blog, where he lets loose with all the insider stuff he’s got. And he’s got it all. Prepare to have the finale spoiled for ya, though! Do I think he’s right? Hmm…. I think the more salient question now is, do I care? And I’m not sure that I do. Mostly I just enjoy watching a Bachelor who is really intent on forcing the process to work for him. I just don’t think that’s a possibility with this group of women, sad to say. A shame. Because it could have been the most special final rose….evah!

In other news, I am guest blogging over on Novel Thoughts today! And there is a book giveaway there, too. So check it out. Then check out my post here yesterday for my Free Stuff Friday giveaway.

But right now? DISH! Are you hooked despite your best intentions not to be? Is it looking like Jake ends up alone? Again? Is there anyone you can see him with for those very special 60 years he keeps talking about?
