The Bachelorette: Episode 6

This week we didn't have to wait even 10 minutes before the drama unfolded. Chris Harrison comes to Ali's door and tell us that Jesse (from Jake's season) has something to tell her. And Chris isn't going to tell Ali. Chris dials up Jesse. The phone rang forever, by the way. Jesse tells Ali Justin has a girlfriend, and that girlfriend is with her now (!) I really can't believe that this Jessica character schemed with Justin and now she's upset about it. Justin wanted fame. He wanted Rated-R to be famous. He was calling the gf through the season. And we find out there is ANOTHER girlfriend. I loved the way Ali confronts Justin...in front of everyone. She says how hard it is for the guys to go through all this and says, "especially for you Justin, you must be missing your girlfriend in Canada!" Well done, Ali. Justin RUNS AWAY through the bushes from Ali and the camera. He finally comes back to talk to Ali. I think Ali hit the nail on the head: Justin needed that time to construct a coverup for his lies. But, he won't call Jessica a liar. He finally limps away while phone messages he left to Jessica are dubbed over. ZING! Ali didn't have chemistry with Justin anyway. Glad she didn't shed any tears over it. She was all anger, with "fire in her eyes" as Kirk said.

But I won't waste anymore breath on the lying cheater. Moving on.

Ty gets the first one-on-one date. I still don't really like him. I think he's super sweet, but he and Ali seem more like good friends. Wasn't a fan of the turkish bath either. Between the music, the loin cloths and the massages it was practically soft porn. It was awkward. Ick. At dinner, we hear that Ty divorced partly because his household wasn't traditional. Seems like he wants to be the money maker and he wants a wife who will stay home and clean. Hmm, don't think Ali likes that too much. They have a "rememorable" (word courtesy of Ty) dance in the courtyard. Although Ali is unsure of certain things about him, Ty gets a rose.

The group date is next: Roberto, Chris L., Kirk, Craig. Craig is pissed he's on a group date again. At this point, I was guessing he was going home. I was tired of him whining the whole episode. The boys have to olive wrestle with professionals then with each other...to have the sought-after one on on time with Ali. Chris L. isn't being such a good sport at first, saying he uses olive oil for breadsticks but eventually sucks it up for Ali. Craig says he's a lawyer and usually fights with words, not muscles. Speaking of muscles--Kirk anyone? Soon it came down to the "championship" between Roberto and Craig. Was it just me or did it look like Roberto won? Craig was always the one pinned. Oh well, what do I know about Turkish oil wrestling? Craig wins the one-on-one time. They have zero chemistry, we learn. Ali turns on her lifted eyebrows and fake smile and laugh. She's bored and ready for the date to be over. If she wanted a one-on-one, should we have given it to him already. She never kissed him either. There's no rose on the group date.

Frank gets the final one-on-one. They get to go to a spice bazaar! How fun! Frank finally lets loose and is himself again and Ali likes it. Frank tries on a shiny turban and Ali tries on a belly dancer dress. Frank says: "First of all, wow. Second of all, wow. Third of all, why am I wearing this hat?" Haha. They also get the ultimate sales pitch at the rug booth. (According to my mom, $980 is quite a steal for a handmade rug.) I wonder who had to pay for it? And will it count as Frank's baggage on the next flight? The two have dinner at a cistern and finally have some deep convo. Frank is still single because he's been cautious. Ali is scared Frank is going to break her heart. Frank gets a rose.

Cocktail party is canceled. We head right to the rose ceremony. Everyone freaks out, but we all know (and hope) it's Craig going home. And it is! Craig is sent home.

Letters to the fallen:

Justin, Adios. Go find Wes in Mexico. You guys will be great buds.

Craig, you still remind me of Robert from Everybody Loves Raymond. You and Ali had no chemistry.

Previews. Uhm what? They showed us way too much. So the final three are Ty, Roberto and Frank? Or they edited it to look that way at least. Frank is going to break Ali's heart in Tahiti in a few weeks. It doesn't look like Ali learned to cry in a pretty way since last season. Looks like we are in for one messy hair, smeared makeup next couple of weeks.

PS. TEAM KIRK/ROBERTO.
