The Bachelorette-Jillian-Harlem Globetrotters

The first group date, eight bachelors, Michael, Brian, Brad, Sasha, Tanner P., Wes, Ed, and Mathue are invited to a pool party. The winner of this rose challenge will get to move from the bunk house to the mansion. Jillian and Michael have a one on one chat upstairs when all of a sudden, Jillian, grabs the rose and makes an abrupt departure. Gee did he have bad breath or was the conversation that bad with Michael? Chris Hansen comes in and tells the guys that Jillian has left the building. The guys are like, what! we was robbed! But wait, it's a hide and seek challenge, winner will get a date w/Jillian. The guys are led on a cooper mini chase through the streets of L.A. making a stop at the local Nick's jewelry store to pick up a million dollar necklace. The teams of two are not good at deciphering clues, (hey they're guys after all, not good at reading or taking directions), but it is Wes and Brad first at the bank, where Jillian decides to give the win to Wes and invites him into the bank vault for dinner, gee how romantic, hey I'm kidding here! Who knew they have a bar in a bank vault, must be on Rodeo Drive or something. Why in the world would she pick Wes, because he's your typical bad boy? I think he has another agenda, like getting his CD's sold here instead of Chihuahua, Mexico. Never mind that Wes has crooked hair and is your bad boy, Jillian gives him the rose anyway all the while wearing the necklace they brought her that was seriously ugly. That thing was how much?

Next it's a single date for Jake, our commercial pilot. Can I tell you he reminds me of my first boyfriend in high school, Craig Husband, who by the way dumped me for some rhyming twin name Malerie of Malerie and Valerie fame, (not identical). I was so hurt and confused, scarred for life well at least for the next week, it was high school after all. Now he's an Undersheriff, whatever that means, (hey, I'm not keeping tabs or anything!).

Anyway, Jake and Jillian stop by a cowboy shop where we get to see Jake strip off his shirt, wow! Calm down Donna! Next it's on to House of Blues where they get the entire place to themselves, where Jillian puts on her Coyote Ugly on and dances on the bar. I think she needed a few more drinks to pull that one off. Here they are serenaded by Martina McBride. If Jake wasn't so hunky my total focus would have been on the concert. Jake suddenly goes for the kill and plants a kiss on Jillian. Hey, that's my kind of guy! So far it's been Jillian doing all the kissing, finally a guy that will be the guy and go straight for the kiss. It was made for TV and with that Jake gets the rose. I think Jake comes off pretty sincere and sweet and a manly man, hey Jake, like Cougars?

The next group date Jesse, Mark, David, Mike, Simon, Kiptyn and Juan go to the park to play some b-ball with the Harlem Globetrotters. You'd think Simon, that 6' lurch from England would be able to make some baskets, guess he's good at playing cricket or something. The Globetrotters pick David as the best match for Jillian. Later, we learn that Jesse, the wine maker, gave up a wine making stint in Venice, Italy to be on the Bachelorette. Humm, Venice or Jillian, Venice or Jillian. I've been to Venice, no contest, Venice! She should have given him the rose, but instead I guess Mike (Mr. Baseball Camp) got the rose for stripping down in his speedo and jumping in the ocean. She must have liked what she saw, but that didn't work for nerdy Brian when he made a nude jump during the rose ceremony. He was one of 4 rejected. He wails, it must have been the shrinkage!

The other three to go, Simon who didn't get any air time with Jillian along with Mathue and hunky Julien (she should have kept him). She kept foot fetish Tanner, aw come on Jillian, dump the weirdo, she should have kept Brian (you know Mr. Shrinkage). The one that got the most hate votes from the guys, Juan second only to the fact that the guys couldn't vote for Wes since he had a rose. I'm thinking Wes and Juan will be the guys you love to hate. At first I'm like thinking Juan looked pretty good, he is after all a mama's boy, but he's coming off like a weasel. Aye Mama mia, she would not be happy!-Single D
