Welcome back to Get Real! Tonight’s feature presentation is The Bachelorette!
This is when the show starts! Jillian has her men chosen and we actually get to start with the dates! The 20 guys moved into the bunk house down the driveway from Jillian’s huge LA mansion. The guys were told that there would be three dates: two group dates and one group date. Each date would have a rose and those guys who got the three roses would get to move into the mansion with Jillian. But, not everyone would get to go on a date this week. So, whoever didn’t get a date is pretty screwed!
The first group date was: Michael, Sasha, Brian, Tanner P., Brad, Ed, Mathue, and Wes. The date started as a pool party and then it turned into a scavenger hunt! Michael, the only guy in the house, thought he was getting the rose as Jillian took the rose and left the pool area. But unbeknownst to them all, Jillian took off for the guys to find her. The guys were separated into teams of two and only one of the guys on the winning team would get a special date with Jillian. Team Ed and Brian were the first to get their tuxes but Team Wes and Brad were the first to find the second clue in the kitchen. Team Ed and Brian made up for their time lost and met the jeweler to find the necklaces first. Team Sasha and Mathue were next, followed by Team Wes and Brad. Poor Team Tanner P. and Michael were last in all of the challenges – though maybe that’s because they were too busy bromancing in the car. Jillian was waiting for the guys in a vault and where she was going to have dinner with the chosen guy from the winning team.
Team Wes and Brad was the first team to make it to the vault and Jillian was then faced the decision of choosing which guy she would have dinner with. She ended up choosing Wes and I can’t say I’m surprised. Wes and Brad clearly didn’t make a good team and they hated each other. Naturally, Brad was pissed and decided that Wes was clearly not there for Jillian and had ulterior motives. Inside the vault, Jillian was like a giddy schoolgirl with Wes and told him that her girlfriends would totally think she’s his type.
Meanwhile, back at the house, it was revealed that Jake (!) was going on the solo date! Yay!
While Jillian was having a good time with Wes, she was also very reserved and felt the need to protect herself around him because she wasn’t sure if she is his type. I think she’s worried about his music career and that part of his life. But, she still gave him a kiss and the rose for that date, causing the rest of the guys watching on a mini TV to be so shocked and upset. Jumping on Brad’s bandwagon, the rest of the guys began to question Wes’s motives. Blah, blah, jealousy, blah!
Then it was time for Jillian to go on her solo date with Jake! The date had a cute country theme to it. She was wearing Jake’s pilot wings that he gave her on the first night, along with a cute black, fringed tube dress and red cowboy boots. First, she took Jake to a western shop so that his outfit could match hers. They had some cute flirty chemistry going on that was so first date jitters but über cute. They went to a bar afterwards and Jillian danced Coyote-Ugly-style on the bar for Jake followed by some two-stepping. The two shared some serious conversation about the future and it was so cute to see. I really hope that she keeps him around longer ‘cause they are cute together. Then Jillian surprised Jake with a performance from Martina McBride. And of course, Jake walked away with a rose.
Group date #2 went to: Jesse, Mark, David, Mike, Simon, Kiptyn, and Juan. The guys were taken to a basketball court in Venice Beach. It was funny to see the guys get so competitive during the game, especially when she brought out the Harlem Globetrotters. David, especially, was taking the competition too seriously wand was going whatever he could to get attention. He is just getting way too cocky. Jillian’s smartest move was to make the guys take off their shirts. The guys chose David as the best guy for Jillian, but I don’t know what that was based on! Mike went and grabbed a guy’s Speedo and ran into the ocean. Gotta say, it was pretty funny and kinda hot! He may have been pretty cheesy with his “perfect catch” line in the premiere, but he is working his way up to the top three!
The date continued to a poolside reception. Again, David started acting weird and he was complaining about Juan. Though I think David is pretty stupid, I don’t really like Juan either. He seems a little fake and annoying. Jillian pulled Kiptyn to the side next. He revealed that he is normally the one to end things in a relationship which is a baby red flag but I think too early to tell if it’s going to be an issue. And the third rose went to…Mike!
Soon it was time for the pre-rose ceremony reception. Finally, Jillian noticed that Tanner P. has a creepy foot fetish. Then Jillian took Jesse aside, which was nice since he didn’t make much of an impression on the group date. Robby, who didn’t go on a date, made a signature drink for Jillian but before he could really get into a conversation with her, Wes interrupted their time and “joked” about her already cheating on him.
Similar to last season, the guys were told they had to write down the name of the guy they wanted to be sent home that night. Last season, it was turned around and the girl who had the most votes actually got to stay. I doubt that they would actually send home a guy right now. If it weren’t for the fact that Wes already had a rose, I can guarantee that he would have received the most votes. Now, I think it’s going to be a toss-up between Juan and Dave.
Breaking some of the tension, Brian starts taking off his clothes and jumped into the pool naked. Uh, what?! Why did he feel the need for this? Pretty awkward…
Now, time for the votes: the third most vote-getter was Julien, then came Dave (no surprise!) with the next most, and the guy with the most votes was Juan. But Jillian was able to veto the guys’ vote and offer Juan a rose to save him. Not surprising, Jillian gave Juan the rose. I still think Jillian is playing it a little safe and nice, but she will soon see that Juan is nothing special and there are better guys in the house.
So, here are my pre-rose ceremony predictions on who will not get a rose: Julien, Brad, Mark, and Tanner F.
And who did Jillian actually send home? Mathue, Brian, Simon, and Julien. At least I got one right! And boys should all take note: its okay to run around in a Speedo but not naked! Remember, a little fabric can go a long way!
