This week the five guys and Ali were in Portugal. Beautiful city, really. Roberto had the first one-on-one date. They are just so natural together. Originally, I think Ali thought she wasn't good enough for Roberto. And that Roberto was too perfect and too romantic with not enough fun. Now that's all changed. The beginning of the date they were goofy and took pictures with each other. They ended up in a castle of some sort and had a romantic time. Their date didn't get much air time (partly because of the 30min interview tagged at the end of the show), but I think it didn't because there wasn't much to be said. Roberto and Ali are good together. There's no drama and there's no important conversation we need to hear. Smooth sailing.
Ty and Frank get the dreaded two-on-one. Frank whines and whines about wanting a one-on-one. He just had one last week! Get a grip, Frank. He's really started to get on my nerves. I don't think he's man enough for Ali. The date was awkward of course. Another castle, by the way. I don't think Ty is going to recover from his comment about being for the traditional family (and it playing a part in his divorce). He tried to say that he finds Ali's career-driven self sexy. It doesn't help. An awkward dinner goes by and the date ends.
Kirk gets the next one-on-one. Still love Kirk. I was a little worried that Ali's distraught attitude was going to trip him up. We all knew she was acting funny because she was nervous and overwhelmed about her decisions. Luckily, Kirk did too and took that chance to console her. And reassure her that they were in a good place. I really see their relationship going somewhere. (But why another castle?)
Chris L. get the final one-on-one. This one started out a wee bit awkward. I could tell he wanted to open up but he was afraid. By the way, quote of the episode goes to Chris when he and Ali are getting on the mo-ped: "I can't be the dude that kills the bachelorette! That's just not gonna look good." Bahaha. After some conversation about his mom, Chris L. does something fantastic. He gives Ali a bracelet he made for her before the show started and he's been waiting for the right time to give it to her. (Translation: he didn't use the gift on a different week as a bribe to get a rose. He really cares about her.) Chris L. and Ali got close very quickly on this date. It's about dang time.
Ty is sent home at the rose ceremony. From the previews, I thought he was in Tahiti. So I was shocked. Then relieved. Between, him and Kirk I definitely wanted Kirk to stay. Phew!
Ty, you were sweet and a good guy, but your idea of traditional gender roles and lack of chemistry with Ali got you sent home to Tennessee.
Next week: hometowns!
