Re: [BigBrother_Survivor] 'The Bachelor' Recap: Krystal and Kendall Square Off in Paris

 

If he had kept her I was afraid we'd have another season like when Ben picked Courtney! But I really don't see wedding bells for Arie after this season!

 'The
Bachelor' Recap: Krystal and Kendall Square Off in
Paris
Monday,
February 05, 2018
Bill King
Contributing
Writer, BuddyTV The Arie Grand Prix is at mile marker 250, with
season 22 Bachelor
Arie Luyendyk Jr. down to his Top 10. I'd say he's
the star of The
Bachelor, but that's like calling the actual cake
part of the cake the star of the birthday party.

Without
the icing, decorations, maybe ice cream or any of the
extras, all you've got is, well, Arie. He is the cake
part of the cake. And not even chocolate cake. Vanilla
cake.


No, the real stars have been Coach Krystal and
deceptively sexy nanny Bekah, as doomed as they both may be.
Krystal is the candles, fiery yet brief, and she is annoying
everybody at the party by dripping her waxy goo all over the
good parts.
It's
time to blow those puppies out and hope they're not of
the trick variety. Seriously, everyone
is done with Krystal. 
Bekah,
meanwhile, is the edible decorative flower, delicious and
addicting but more of an indulgence. It's the part of
the cake you hold onto for a while, then eat when no one is
watching. You take a bite or two, realize it's pure
sugar you're too old to truly enjoy and then throw the
rest away. So pencil her in for the fantasy
suite.  
Going Oui Oui in France
I've
been riding a wave of emotions since my beloved Philadelphia
Eagles won their first Super Bowl mere moments before I
learned how Papa Jack died on This
Is Us. Add in a whirlwind four-day Groundhog Day trip to
Punxsutawney -- a six-hour drive each way -- with five hours
spent in the frigid cold followed by a dinner date with the
world's most famous weatherman, and I'm too
exhausted to even consider Krystal's delusional belief
that she's wife material in her current
state. 
(For
real, how cute is this guy? And Phil as well!)
But
that pales in comparison to the roller coaster these women
face when they finally ditch the foam parties of Fort
Lauderdale and head to the City of Lights, only to learn
that the dreaded two-on-one date is coming. 
Additionally,
there will be a pair of solo dates and one groupie, but the
question on everyone's mind is who will be joining Coach
K -- the only obvious choice -- with survival on the
line.


Silence is Golden, Except on a
Date
The
first one-on-one -- Let's fall in love in Paris (however
you say that in French) -- goes to tech salesperson and only
Lauren Lauren B. , who is anxious to evaluate their
relationship because it's not quite as far along as some
others. 
They
take in the sights of the city, hand in hand, with Arie
seemingly doing all the talking. Forced conversation comes
in the form of Lauren dropping earth-shattering lines like
"How's everything been for you after
everything?" and "Lots of tough decisions to
make." Needless to say, the chemistry is lacking, even
with a luxury speed boat down the Seine River.
It's
more of the same over dinner, and the crickets are enhanced
by the lack of background music or sound effects (kudos to
the editors). She claims her hesitation to open up stems
from trust issues related to her parents' rough marriage
and a previous failed engagement, which he understands
because one of his relationships fell apart when his
girlfriend lost their baby while he was tending to racing
duties. So, yeah, they keep it light. 
She
repeats "trust" 30 times, essentially calling
herself an undateable project, and he gives her the rose and
smooches to calm her nerves in hopes of revealing a
personality. Any personality. And she's like, wow, he
must like me to keep me around after such a terrible
day.
Creole Lady Marmalade
The
group card -- Let's get all dressed up (one suitorette
exclaims, "My heart is about to fall out of my
ass," which is a much better date title) -- goes to
fake proposal publicist and emerging favorite Becca,
favorite elephant cuff link and too good for Arie Seinne ,
Bekah, Tia the Weiner Queen with a doctor degree, single mom
realtor Chelsea and dumb-or-drunk Jenna . 
That
means Krystal, high-cut/low-cut Jacqueline and
stuffed-animals-don't-say-no Kendall are still in the
running for the two-on-one. But first, the six women head to
the famed Moulin Rouge for a private lesson and a
competition to perform onstage with Arie.
Bekah
relies on jazz hands, Jenna is ecstatic and doesn't care
how stupid she looks, and Tia lacks basic coordination.
Seinne and her background in dance steal the show, but
it's not about talent or sex appeal -- rather,
connection -- and Arie awards the rose to Bekah after she
admits feeling jealous for the first time. 
Their
performance is fun but atrocious, as is Arie's ability
to lip-sync in French, and the energy is matched by the
scowls adorning the scorned women's faces. Arie is also
the first person to ever ask, "Is a French kiss in
France just a kiss?" It's actually called un
baiser amoureux, and it was added to the French dictionary in
2013.
2 Girls, 1 Rose, 1 Stays, 1
Goes
The
two-on-one date -- We'll always have Paris -- goes to
Krystal and Kendall , with both assuming Coach K. has the
advantage based on time served. Awkwardness abounds as they
tour a chateau, and it's Krystal's red flags versus
Kendall's lack of serious relationships.
Arie
needs to see another side of Krystal, with her tantrums
("But he changed
his mind!") prompting him to dub this her last
chance. She apologizes for questioning his character behind
his back instead of to his face, and her cooing and kissing
seems to win him over ... until she throws Kendall under the
bus by declaring that her competition is not ready for
marriage and shouldn't even be here.
He
tattles, Kendall calls out Krystal's insecurity and
flips the script by expressing empathy, and Arie delays his
decision until dinner. Krystal believes this is "f***ed
up" and later calls Kendall "patronizing,"
and they agree to focus on their individual connections
rather than each other. 
Krystal
delivers a classically insincere Coach K. motivational
speech before Arie sends her home, and he kisses Kendall
atop the Eiffel Tower while eight women pop champagne
bottles in the hotel. A "floored" and heartbroken
Krystal laments letting herself be vulnerable, and she
sucks, but I still feel bad for her.

Where Do We Go From Here?
The
final solo date is Jacqueline 's first, and she's
focused on having a good time and winning him over. After
their car breaks down, which allows Are to do manly mechanic
things that are as successful as his racing career, it's
a day of shopping and modeling the latest Parisian fashions
before dining at Maxims. 
He
claims he held off on this date because she's "far
too intelligent" for him, and she inquires as to why he
wouldn't gravitate towards intellectual women. I was
hoping he'd reply, "I like 'em dumb," but
instead he says something about being able to stimulate her
brain (which he can't do solely with pillowy
lips).
Her
career goals require a PhD, which means six more years of
school. And even though he could see himself falling for
her, there are concerns that their lives wouldn't jive
together. Not wanting to hold anyone back, he instead
holds
back the rose gives her the rose to see where
it goes. They'll cross that bridge when they have to,
and love can overcome anything.
Decisions, Decisions 
Three
more women must join Krystal in the scrap heap. With Lauren,
Bekah, Kendall and Jacqueline safe, we could be in for some
surprises -- unless Jenna and Chelsea are the ones packing
their bags. 
The
posies go to: Tia
the Weiner Queen with a doctor degreeFavorite
elephant cuff link and too-good-for-Arie SeinneFake
proposal publicist and emerging favorite Becca
Nevermind.
No shockers, at least for us. Jenna is very surprised, and
Chelsea feels blindsided. It's tear-filled goodbyes for
two. But for seven others, it's off to Tuscany! Lauren,
however, is feeling overwhelmed by the pressure and is next
on the list to unravel.

Things
are progressing as planned, but do you agree with Arie's
decisions? Did you see a future with Jenna, Chelsea or
Krystal? Who are your favorites and do you agree with my
final four of Tia, Seinne, Becca and Bekah? Are Lauren,
Kendall and Jacqueline next on the chopping block? And can
we find enough drama and animosity to carry the season until
marriage prospects take over? (To quote my wife, who may
love Punxsutawney Phil more than me but less than our
Frenchie, "It's so good, and so, so bad.") Let
us know your thoughts in the comments section
below.
