Drama..........take 2 (week2)

**WARNING......Spoilers ahead**


We begin this week's drama......eh adventure in Ben's hometown of Sonoma, California.

First date of the week......goes to Kacie B.  Good choice Ben, I approve.  (I know he was waiting for my approval hahaha)  They go exploring in the little town and end up in a little toy store/candy store.  While there Kacie finds a baton and dazzles Ben with her twirling skills and even teaches Ben how to twirl.  Takes a manly man to walk and twirl a baton down the street. LOL  Later on in the evening they go to a theater and they are treated to home movies of Kacie & then movies of Ben.  It was heartbreaking to watch Ben see his dad on the screen.......such a tender moment and I'm really glad that he chose that date to be with Kacie B.  Kacie was given the rose and many kisses.  (insert awwwwww here)  Such a cute couple.  I'd give this date a 4 out 5.


Next date....group date:  Blakeley, Jenna, Jaclyn, Samantha, Monica, Rachel, Emily, Nicki, Shawn, Jennifer, Brittney, and Jamie.  These girls get to put on a play at a Community Theater where the directors are kids and the kids were the writer of the play as well.  Cute idea! :)  The girls first had to audition for the kids to select which role they would play.  The roles were as follows:

Jenna:  wizard with a beard
Jennifer: weasel
Jaclyn: princess
Samantha: pig
Blakeley: gingerbread man
Monica: dragon
Ben: knight/prince, sheep (2 roles for Ben)
Rachel: hippie
Emily: Valley girl
Nicki: donkey
??? : tree (One of the girls was a tree, but don't know which one she is)
And the other girls......not sure what they were as they didn't seem to make the cut.

Ben was transformed from a prince into a sheep and then the dragon gets to blow off his sheep's clothing and then he's a prince again...........yeah, something like that anyway. lol

After the play was over, Ben took the girls to a pool.  Gee shocker there, ain't it??  Haven't had the girls in bikini's yet, so they had to do that. lol 

It was decided amongst the girls that Jennifer should win the Oscar for her role as the weasel.  Hmmm, is that a compliment?? lol  Well, yeah, we'll take it as one.......she was funny and good at making everyone laugh.

Random quotes from the group date:

"What do you get when you cross a gingerbread man and a hooker? Blakeley" by Samantha

"I got to blow Ben's clothes off" by Monica

"They (the girls) love me" by Blakeley
"I'm blessed in some places" by Blakeley
"The rose has my name on it" by Blakeley
"Blakeley = Fakely" by Jaclyn
"Our kisses echo" by Jennifer
"I got the rose. The whole reason was to get the rose and I did, so that's that." by Blakeley.

The rose of the evening goes to...........................Blakeley.

Guess Blakeley was right......the rose did have her name on it..........wonder if the producers wrote it on there.............things that make ya go hmmm?  And the reason was to get the rose.....gee, always thought it was to try to find love with the guy.  *shrugs*


Last date of the week: Courtney

When the date card arrived, it said "Spin the Bottle".  To which we got these lovely quotes from Courtney:
"He wants to kiss me" & "I think were gonna make out".  All the while twirling her hair of course.

For this date, they went driving and then had a little picnic in the woods, near a lake.  Ben's dog Scotch went as a chaperone.

Ben's quote about Courtney "She's witty, smart, and almost too good to be true".  (He's got the last part right at least)

Ben was spilling his guts to her (obviously smitten) and I don't know how he didn't notice how utterly bored she was.  She was just acting like she was listening.  (are we sure she's a model and not an actress?? Maybe she's trying to get into acting.......)

They had their "AHA moment".........don't ask, it didn't make sense to me.........and Ben gave her the rose.  (Darn......was hoping he'd send her home)  After the rose was given (wish it had thorns.......oops, did I say/write that??) Ben sat on a swing and TooGoodToBeTrue Courtney sat in his lap. *insert gag here*  She got the rose and lots of kissing and then gave us another quote (while not with Ben) of: "All other girls should watch out cause I got the rose"........*insert hair twirling here*

Rating of date: 2 out of 5.  (and only got a 2 because had the cute dog on the date)

Before the rose ceremony:

We got to learn a little more about some of the girls and got some more quotes too.

Lindzi --Ben told her that she didn't get a date this week, because she made such a good impression the first time.  (Yeah, Courtney said that she didn't make the impression that the horse was the one that got the first impression rose).  We also learned that she's a "tractor guy" and drives a truck......and Ben gives her butterflies.  (Yeah, we can insert an awwwwww here)

Samantha--She's a cool girl and she hates drama, she was interrupted in her talk with Ben by "Jugs" (aka Blakeley..........so Samantha went and took Jenna's spot and spent time in the bathroom.  *sigh*

Jenna--Was moderately proud of Jenna.....she didn't have a breakdown.......no wait......she did.  We learned from Jenna that "drama brings out the worst in you" and then she told Ben that she "feels like a guy" and then told him "I'm not like a girl".  Uh oooooooookkkkkk.  *insert cricket sounds here*  After this confessional time with Ben.........yep, you guessed it.........crying AGAIN.  She couldn't hide in the bathroom because it was occupied, so she crawled in bed and cried.

Nicki --We find out that she's not a show girl.  Uh, okay, that's good to know.

Blakeley--Not to be outdone by Samantha and Jenna......she goes to the luggage room and curls up in the corner and is *fake* crying.  Ben finds her and tells her "Take a moment. Collect yourself".  (obviously he's been hanging around Chris Harrison alot LOL)

So........who stays and who goes.....

Stays: Jennifer, Emily, Elyse, Jaclyn, Erika, Rachel, Lindzi, Nicki, Casey S, Samantha, Monica, Jamie, and Brittney

Goes: Jenna, Shawn

Final thoughts:

Was sad to see Shawn go, but I guess there wasn't the chemistry with Ben (also she didn't get much air time.......maybe if she would have cried or something.....).  Jenna seemed shocked to be going home (not really sure why as we all knew that was coming).

Girls I like: Kacie B, Lindzi, Jamie, and Jennifer
Girls I don't like: Blakeley (can't get past the big teeth), Courtney (hair twirlers anonymous could do wonders for her)

Who is Casey S?? After watching the show for the 2nd week, I still don't know.

Til later..............................
