Drama in the Bahamas

So we ended things with the despicable To Be Continued status last week, so after a quick refresher on the tactless Teen Mom comment, we're back to Ben talking to Olivia about what all the girls had said about her.  And in her defense Olivia says things like, "Everyone here is really into stuff like painting their nails and braiding each other's hair.  That's great.  But I'm just different.  I like reading books in my room and like thinking and I want to talk smart things"  Bwaahahahaha!!  Oh girlfriend, you could not get more annoying.  First off, we've seen footage of you happily painting your nails, and you are NOT the only smart girl on this show, and to be honest I question YOUR intellect.  But Ben lets her keep that rose she's so firmly gripping in her hand and instead ditches the girl with the long dark hair.  Not surprising since we all still don't know who she is, which is always the giveaway to the girls we don't need to get to know.

So off to the Bahamas they go.  Caila gets the one on one, AGAIN!  Yay!  But sadly she chose a bright blue turtleneck half top to wear on her date.  yowza.   Back at the suite, poor Leah, who has fabulous eyebrows, and who hasn't gotten any time with Ben, is totally falling apart.  Understandable.  She's had zero one on one time with Ben and Caila is now on round 2!  Not a good sign for ya!  Back on the yacht, Caila, in her cute bikini looks like a Skipper Barbie while she reels in her humoungo fish.  Whoa!  And check out that tat on Ben's side, it's like an entire paragraph.  Everything is rainbows and sparkles until they sit down at dinner.  He pries at her to open up.  And then everything she says for next few minutes makes absolutely no sense.  Ben honey, you were not alone in all that confusion.  I did gather that she feels like she's in love because she is understood.  Ok, that doesn't make sense either, cuz that's not what being in love is about.  In the end, he's happy with whatever it was that he did understand, enough to give her a rose, and they kiss (nice closed mouth kisses) over untouched plates full of food and glasses full of wine.

Group date - Lauren B, Becca, Amanda, Jo Jo, Lauren H and Leah - there are lots of acid wash cutoff jean shorts, another nice boat and a whole lot of squealing girls in bikinis.  This was one of the oddest dates I've ever seen.  They're off to feed swimming pigs.  Yes, you heard me right.  Apparently there is an island which houses a herd of swimming swine!  So hand the girls a hotdog, teach them the somehow understood by wild pigs sign for "I don't have anymore hotdogs" and kick them into the water.  Poor JoJo almost got eaten by a group of pigs.  They apparently couldn't see her signing while half way under the water with pigs on top of her.  Maybe it was the freaky pigs, maybe it was seeing your boyfriend flirting with your friends, but for some reason the date wasn't a hit.  That night each girl tried to reconnect with their man.  Leah's tactics were a bit more desperate. In a terrible iridescent purple dress she turns into a mean girl, and apparently thinks that backstabbing a friend would be beneficial to her.  Instead the whole mess gets cute Lauren B crying (why doesn't my crying look as cute as her crying?  She's just as gorgeous with her hair thrown up in a messy bun, a darling red rubbed nose and big watery eyes!) and worrying about Ben doubting her intentions and completely BACKFIRES on Leah as he sees through the sabotage and ends up asking Leah to leave!!  Ha!

Lastly there is a two on one with Olivia and Emily!!  I'm hoping that neither one gets rose and they both go home.  The entire date was a mess.  Somehow they were approved to head out on a boat during what seemed like a hurricane, in terrible swimsuits (hello Dolly Parton fringe!), with hair flying everywhere (for the love, could someone have given Emily a rubber band!), full of awkward conversations and the most boring date ever.  They literally sat on the beach in a storm.  Just sat there.  Things got much better when he was ready to give out the rose.  I found myself sitting on my couch totally smiling as he said good bye to Olivia!!  And then chuckled as Olivia watched Emily squeal with delight as she got the rose.  And yes, it may have been a little dramatic to leave Olivia crying all alone on the beach in the rain, as Ben and Emily canoodled in the departing boat, but you know we all thoroughly enjoyed it.

After all the drama in the Bahamas, Ben decided he wasn't up for a cocktail party and they went straight to the rose ceremony.  And Roses go to: Beautiful Becca, always in some cool dress JoJo, sweet Lauren B and mama Amanda. Goodbye Lauren H.  They gave us some fun sneak peaks at the end!!  Looks like it WILL be the most dramatic ending ever!  I think it sounded like Becca on the phone in that last scene.  Did you??
