The Bachelorette ~ Week 8

A review of my favorite mindless TV while on drugs. This is my disclaimer. It was my very minor surgery day and the meds are wearing off.

Ali’s audition for her new job in the entertainment industry is still in full swing.

Her incessant giggling is getting on my last nerve.

Roberto’s Hometown Date

It’s a shame they didn’t let her get to the hairdresser for a shampoo and a root coverup before meeting his family.

That baseball date was dreamy. Ali being hysterical giggling while they two of them had the whole field to themselves while he carried her around the base as she straddled him made us all uncomfortable.

Weird.

The brother has a blonde wife too. Hmm

I do love how important his family’s opinion was to him. Tampa is a great place to have your in-laws live.

She just doesn’t seem like she can handle him. Don’t see her picking him.

Hometown Date with Chris

Does anyone know – did his mom die recently?

No dog connection. Dog ran right by her. Deal breaker.

More hysterical giggling. Please stop the nervous laughter.

Boots with heels on beach. Strange.

Without being disrespectful to those who have passed, I thought maybe they would go to Ali’s grandma’s empty house and she could tell him that story. (The darling twins and I discussed this fond memory from last season.)

Hands down genuine family guy with humor. What else do you need?

We’re not sure but we don’t think she’s picking him.

Kirk’s Hometown Date

Welcome to taxidermy hell.

Caribou foot with googly eyeballs glued on. Does anyone know where I can buy one of those? Perfect Christmas present!!

Hasn’t brought many gals home. Hmmm…would that be because Dad is a freak?

Loved that Kirk’s dad had the heart-to-heart conversation with Ali down in the basement with the freezer full of frozen animals and popsicles. And hundreds of dead animals surrounding them.

Seems to be a death theme pervading these hometown dates.

Bring on the cheesy potatoes – thank you grandma!

I’m from the Midwest but this Wisconsin visit was embarrassing.

Hometown Date with Frank

The only thing Frank and Ali seem to have in common (besides just being weird together) is dirty hair.

Frank’s v-neck/scoop neck tank needed a little lace embellishment with his buttoned up cardigan.

Why did getting on the boat in Chicago elicit giggling?

Frank and his self-doubts and insecurities are ridiculous. Especially since we know he’s fighting feelings for his ex-girlfriend (and perhaps his ex-boyfriend – just sayin’ – the thumb ring is still on).

The Rose Ceremony

The Humpfreeze house was unanimous that Kirk was leaving. We’re not sure what her criteria is. Her words were “It’s not about you or me…” and then something about them together. I’m so confused. If it’s not about him or her, what is this show about?

Kudos to Kirk. He was a true class act leaving. I like a guy who doesn’t cry.

I’m making my personal prediction that she picks no one. We’re all being strung along on her job audition and her future does not include picking anyone. She is really stringing along all these families in the name of the job audition.

I see her and Jake having their own series next year.

Just speculating on all this…weigh in and tell me what you think.

Side note: Mostly, at our house, we’re hoping that Roberto and Ali don’t work out because Wizzy is on her way to South Carolina to meet him.
