Re: [BigBrother_Survivor] 'The Bachelor' Recap: Can a Relationship Survive a Fear of Dogs?

 

They have an interesting mix of girls this season, with a good level of drama. I get a kick out of the girls but so far for me Arie is kind of a boring bachelor!

'The
Bachelor' Recap: Can a Relationship Survive a Fear of
Dogs?
Monday,
January 15, 2018
Bill King
Contributing
Writer, BuddyTV Arie Luyendyk is only three dates into his quest
for televised love in season 22 of The
Bachelor, and it's telling that one of them was a
literal 15-car pile-up. Eighteen women remain in the hunt
for his checkered flag, and astoundingly, nearly all of them
are terrible.

We're
still at the introduction stage of the journey, and though
we don't know much about the ladies vying for Arie's
heart, we have enough information to send the vast majority
of potential wifemates straight to the scrap heap.



Jockeying for Pole Position
Regardless
of how far they advance, there are nine women who will never
become Arie's spouse. Coach Krystal and single mom
realtor Chelsea are the villains, and hothead Spalexis
Bibiana will end up getting herself eliminated to make sure
Arie knows about it. 
Photog
in a race car Maquel and deceptively sexy nanny Bekah (who
my best friend likens to Pinocchio becoming a real boy) are
too young, stuffed-animals-don't-say-no Kendall is too
into taxidermy, and kissing bandit Annaliese has too many
tears stemming from bumper car trauma.
Drunk-or-dumb
Jenna gave his lead foot an early rub, which is creepier
than it is a turn-on, and restaurant co-owner Marikh seems
like her masala is lacking a bit of the tikka. She reminds
me of Eddie Murphy's arranged marriage in Coming
to America, and when this doesn't work out, I see
her gunning to become the princess of
Zamunda. 
Non-kidded
booberrific real estate agent Caroline has big boobs and no
kids, all three of which work in her favor, but she seems
like an unlikely candidate after bragging about her real
estate sales. And I reckon that the "most
hardcore" certificate is as much love as poor Dutch
linguist and Smasher of Cars Brittany is going to get from
Arie.
I Could've Been a
Contender
That
leaves seven women with a legitimate shot, and elephant cuff
link Seinne and Tia the Weiner Queen of Arkansas remain the
early favorites (as I predicted). Fake proposal publicist
Becca is in the running after nabbing the first one-on-one
date and receiving a Cinderella makeover, though I'm not
convinced she's got what it takes to make it in the long
haul.
The
remaining four, however, are presently too unknown to rule
out or endorse. This season's Ashley checkered flag
Ashley , low-cut/high-cut Jacqueline , older social media
manager Lauren S. and tech salesperson Lauren B. haven't
gone on any dates, and as such, they remain mysteries and
could end up being fairly normal. 
Still,
they'd better emerge soon -- at least in the TV sense --
if we're to take them seriously. Let's get to
it.
Monday Night Raw
After
Bibiana reiterates that she's "not one to be f***ed
with," the dad bod formerly known as Chris Harrison
arrives to announce two group dates and a solitary
one-on-one. And "it's all about the ring" for
Maquel , Jacqueline , Lauren B. , Tia , Marikh , Bekah,
Bibiana and Krystal . 
The
eight women will be duking it out for supremacy in the
Gorgeous Ladies of the Bachelor
(GLOB) tournament, and aiding them in Wrestling 101 are
'80s GLOW legends Ursula "Babe the Farmer's
Daughter" Hayden and Angelina "Little Egypt"
Altishin. Little Egypt has had some work done, while it
appears Babe has spent the past 30 years snuggling a bottle
of Jack and carton of Reds. 
The
on-screen personas are angry, though, prompting Bibiana and
Tia to break down under the abrasive tutelage. Apparently, if you f*** with
Bibiana, she cries and runs away. Take note, Coach K. Bekah,
however, is totally on board with the theatrics.


WrestleMania XXII
Each
woman is assigned a wrestling personality, and it's
Royal Rumble time in front of a live audience. Arie kicks
things off with a bout against special guest Pretty Boy
Pitbull Kenny King, who slams the crap out of the Kissing
Bandit before Arie scores a sneak attack
pin. 

Maquel the lunch lady disposes of Bekah the sex kitten,
despite having her smoking hot buns battered by a leather
whip, and Krystal the cougar destroys Jacqueline the beauty
queen.
Markih
the baller and Lauren B. the ice skater ditch fisticuffs for
a bizarrely slow and sensual dance that turns the ring into
a lesbian hot bed, and I assume everyone wins. Then Tia the
Southern belle and Bibiana the bridezilla square off in the
card's final fight, with Tia coming out on
top.
Survivor Series
At
the after-party, Krystal steals the first alone time and
even offers a hearty "Kaayyyy. Byeeee, guys" to
the other girls in her best Valley Girl voice. She lays it
on thick, and Arie naively encourages her to stake her claim
whenever she feels the need. 
Bibiana
has had enough, and as expected, she vents her concerns to
Arie. He hopes she can concentrate on him rather than the
drama in the house, which of course she cannot. And it will
lead to her downfall. 
Krystal
further riles the group by asserting that she wants every
woman to get her respective time, since she's not one
for stirring the pot. Tia gets reassurances and the
obligatory face-clutching make-out, and Bekah discusses the
process of getting over a break-up before securing Tia's
sloppy seconds and the date rose. 
Jilted,
Coach K. vows to be more aggressive. 
Que Syrah, Syrah
Older
social media manager Lauren S. (who is 31 compared to
dumb-or-drunk social media manager Jenna 's 28) is the
lucky recipient of the solo date -- You had me at Merlot --
and it's off to Napa in a private jet for a whimsical
vineyard experience. 
Lauren's
mouth is Olivia -style agape from runway to winery, and
their secluded picnic comes complete with old man jokes and
third-person references. ("This is such
a Lauren B. date.") The conversation is light but a bit
too bubbly and superficial to indicate chemistry, even if
they're on similar pages in life.  
She
worries she's too out of practice at being romantic to
get caught up in the moment, and her nerves manifest into a
rambling diatribe over dinner that snuffs out any
pre-existing sparks. Basically, she doesn't shut the
hell up or let him get a word in edgewise, all without
saying anything of any significance other than she loves her
family.
She
recognizes that the date is a mess, but self-awareness
can't save her, and it's the end of the line for
this Lauren. Three down, one to go.

The Bachelor Goes to the Dogs
The
second group date -- Love is ruff -- goes to this
season's Ashley , fake proposal publicist Becca, poor
Dutch linguist and Smasher of Cars Brittany, drunk-or-dumb
Jenna , non-kidded booberrific real estate agent Caroline ,
single mom realtor Chelsea and bumper car kissing bandit
Annaliese , who freaks out once they realize the spelling of
the word "ruff."
Naturally,
she had a terrible experience with a dog when she was
little, and she's shaken to the core at the mere thought
of having to deal with one of those vicious beasts. Yeah,
it's time for her to go. Hating man's best friend is
a deal breaker.
"She
has something mentally wrong with her," my wife
seethes. "She'd better have gotten her face ripped
off or something." Annaliese then explains that she
nearly lost an eye to a surly and savage old pup, prompting
my better half to demand visible scarring. This is why we
are married. 
The
women and "The Dynamo Dogs" team up on what my
wife has dubbed the best dream date ever ("I
wouldn't pay attention to Arie at all"), an
on-stage routine with Best
in Show's Fred Willard providing commentary. The
pooches don't listen to anyone, nor do they perform any
tricks -- and yet they're still better than
humans.
"Arie's
Amazing Acrodogs" is excruciatingly bad (wife:
"Nothing about that was funny. Or fun. Or
entertaining."), but at least Annaliese is relegated to
pooper scooper duty.
Tripping Over Reality

Chelsea steals first at the after-party to not-so-subtly
remind Arie that she's a mom, Caroline gets the
customary pillow-lip treatment after asking about his post-
Emily dating life, and dumb-or-drunk Jenna forces a
smooch.
Childhood
trauma Annaliese is feeling behind the pack and wants her
own kiss, but Arie deflects and instead talks about the
beauty ... of the venue. She's certain she's going
home, and I dunno, maybe don't be terrified of
everything your man holds near and dear. 
Becca
bonds with Arie over their mutual dorkiness and is a
bonafide contender, but it's the villian single mom who
nabs the date rose.
A Crushing Black Hole
Tensions
are running high at the cocktail party, and a desperate
Bibiana puts together a telescope-and-bed star-gazing setup
to enjoy with Arie. Instead, he and Lauren B. stumble upon
the location and make out upon it, which kicks off a montage
of astronomical desecration, much to Bibi's impatient
chagrin.
Deceptively
sexy nanny Bekah breaks him down mentally and is in complete
control of their relationship, and it's amazing for
someone so young to have that much confidence and dominance
over a situation, especially considering his age and
experience. But he is putty in her hands. 
Bibiana
remains on the outs, as Arie puts together his own Southern
set-up for Tia the Weiner Queen of Arkansas, complete with
hay bales and moonshine. But it's Annaliese who takes
her situation from bad to worse, after she determines that
aggression is necessary to turn things
around. 
She
coyly requests a kiss and gets shot down, then watches him
lock lips with the taxidermy chick and a creepily aggressive
dumb-or-drunk Jenna. Annaliese wipes her tears, touches up
her makeup and forces the issue, with Arie confirming that
he sees no future. He sends her home, yet does not mention
dogs or cars.

Another One Bites the Dust
Two
pre-rose ceremony eliminations mean that only one lady is
packing her bags, and Bibiana is certain it's her after
he used her romantic gesture as a pathway to other
tongues. 
Deceptively
sexy nanny Bekah and single mom realtor Chelsea are safe,
and favorite elephant cuff link Seinne and
stuffed-animals-don't-say-no Kendall would seemingly be
safe too after going dateless this time.
The
remaining posies go to:

Despite
her best efforts, it's the end of the road for Spalexis
Bibiana, who will surely be sharkphin Alexis' best
friend or worst enemy in the next season of Bachelor
in Paradise.
She
gave it her all even with the distractions, but sadly, Arie
knows nothing of her efforts. She leaves a broken
woman. 
Narrowing the Field
Eighteen
entered, and 15 remain after some not-so-shocking
eliminations. I will miss Bibiana's fireball potential,
but the others, not so much. We hardly knew ye, third
Lauren, but good riddance to Annaliese and her petty
phobias. 
You
simply must love dogs, or find a dating website that caters
to your kind. It's like how my astrology book says
Virgos are only sexually compatible with other
Virgos. 
Becca
has officially joined Seinne and Tia as the frontrunners,
with the top four rounded out by Bekah, even if she'll
eventually be undone by her age. Additionally, the
"unknown" category has shrunk by one.
For
Arie and his 15 remaining beauties, it's off to Lake
Tahoe, where relationships will freeze and hearts will melt.
Stay tuned.

Who
are your favorites and who do you think has the staying
power to make it to the end? Which lady do you think is best
suited for Arie and is there a chance for a life-long match
made in heaven? The connection with Bekah is red-hot, but
can this race car driver handle a brand-new hot rod or does
he need an older model to keep it in low gear? And how long
will it take for him to pick up on Krystal and Chelsea's
underhanded natures? Let us know your thoughts in the
comments section below.
