The Bachelor - Week 5

I had a dream Saturday night that I was on the Bachelor and Jason chose me! Also, Melissa was super mean to me so I'm thinking it's a sign that she's getting the boot in tonight's episode. We shall see...

UPDATE 10:30 p.m.:
Recap: The five remaining girls fly out to Seattle for two one on one dates and one group date with Jason. Melissa receives the first note for a one on one date called, “Let’s hit the town in style.” As Jason’s getting ready for his romantic evening with Melissa, Ty throws a little fit and doesn’t want Jason to leave for the night. (BTW, Ty he has a cool blue car bed). Jason calls Melissa to see if it’s OK if she just comes over and hangs out with him and Ty. She goes over to his house and talks to him about her family and how she’s the outgoing “black sheep.”

Stephanie, Jillian and Molly get the group date called, “Open your heart because love is on the air.” They take a ferry tour around Seattle. Jason leads Stephanie up to the captain so that she can steer the boat and for a little personall time. They discuss a comparison of their kids and how they could easily mesh the two families together. I think her super tight face and squeaky voice bother me the most. However, my mom thinks that he’s going to choose Stephanie because she’s the mom of the group and knows what he’s going through.

After the ferry ride, Jason takes the three ladies to a radio show where he is interviewed while the ladies are stuck in a soundproof room. A quick Q&A reveals: His most amazing date = with Stephanie for her daughter’s birthday and the best kisser is Molly. The DJ's test him with a blindfolded kissing game where of course he guesses everyone right. After the radio show, they go back to the hotel for dinner and drinks. He ends up taking Jillian aside to ask what’s up and Molly aside for a walk outside.

And Naomi, my second least favorite girl, gets the second one on one date called, “Don’t look down you might fall… in love.” They end up taking a private plane ride across Seattle. Of course she feels like she’s on cloud nine. All of the girls always feel like they’re on cloud nine and that they’re the one going to marry Jason. Then they go to a sporting goods store for a little rock climbing. After a little kissy face and talking about their aspirations and where they see themselves in ten years, blah blah...

Rose Ceremony: Jason pulls Naomi aside to ask if she’s really ready for his lifestyle. Of course she claims she's ready.

#1 – Jillian
#2 – Melissa
#3 – Molly
#4 - After a long pause, he chooses Naomi.

This tearful ceremony has everyone crying with Jason explaining to Stephanie, “You are the most amazing person I’ve ever met… You are a beautiful person outside and in. I’m so glad to have met you.” He walks her out and claims that the spark wasn’t there for the two of them.

A Few Takeaways:
His shirt is off in every episode
Chris Harrison always says that it’s the most emotional/best rose ceremony ever
He’s very touchy feely with “Mel”
He brushes hair out of the girls’ faces quite often

Synopsis of my final four (SPOILER ALERT): Two of my four, Melissa and Jillian, are still solid and in the running to win Jason’s heart. My detective self did a quick sweep online tonight trying to figure out who the final girl would be. A lot of the blogs are surprisingly pointing to Melissa based on a pinky ring! Check it out.
