Croatia is really cool. I enjoyed the scenery...
Emily arrived to welcome the guys at their hotel. And she expressed her excitement about being in a "different world" with the guys... and then dropped off the date first date card.
One on One with Travis: Formerly Known as the Egg Man
I like Travis. He is fun and sweet and kind of a cutie. They walked about the streets, got ice cream. I don't know if I trust a person who gets pistachio ice cream though...which is what Emily ordered. They did a little street dancing. Travis is a fun dude. Travis thinks this date is a 10 on a scale of 8. huh? Emily is having a lot of fun. Which is supposedly very important to her. Travis really is her ideal man according to how crazy and fun she is. But...Emily wants romance. So at dinner in what only can be described as some sort of a cave, they talked about his former engagement. Travis was very honest and open, and oh my...melt my heart sweet. And Travis tells Emily he dates girls like her to a tee. hmmm.... So the rose was up for grabs and Emily felt they had a great friendship foundation, but not the romance. And well...if you can't develop the romance in a 4-5 hour date...well it's just not going to work. Ugh! Emily...you loser!
Group Date: John aka Wolf, Doug, Sean, Jef, Chris, and Arie
So the guys meet her in town. And she tells them she just wants to go see a movie. So they go to see the movie Brave. I would like to see that...but those dudes? Well they hung in there with it and well they haven't seen TV in weeks so it was probably delightful. After the movie they got to compete at the Highland Games and kilts. It was fun how ABC let us watch them get dressed...if only for a minute.
So they go and do their games. Archery was interesting. Poor Chris. The only one who missed the target. But he got up and went first at throwing the huge logs up in the air, so good for him. But he got disqualified in that...so sad. Arie on the other hand...um...he did good. Jef...got knocked out. Sean broke the log, which impressed Emily and she found him very hot. Then they had to compete at pulling a stick. Poor Chris sucked at that too. But he kept going. And Emily recognized it and gave him the ultimate reward for the Bravest, because he kept such a good attitude. That was sweet of her. It wasn't a total pity reward was it? He got to go spend time with her and make out a little.
Next up was hang out time and drinking. Emily's one on one time with Sean, she confirmed with him where he stood and assured him he was "safe" without saying that. Arie and Emily had a nice chat. He apologized for London and what happened with Kalon and she admitted to holding him to a higher standard and then they made out on the street. Arie is good too, no worries. Jef and Emily have some time and reconfirm their relationship, but she asked him what took him so long to kiss her. Jef said he was scared of her. I think they are scared of each other. Jef tells her, "I'm freakin' crazy about you." I turned to Rich and said, "why don't you ever say that to me?" Rich said, "It's implied." We're so romantic. Chris told Emily he was in this forever. And I believe him. He is real and sweet and genuine. And Emily recognizes this. He's also boring as all get out, but Emily doesn't care and she gave him the rose on the date.
Not going to lie. These guys are all good sports. Even Ryan. Because let's face it. Emily is sweet. But even if you don't know anything about the behind the scenes stuff...Emily is high maintenance! These guys are not going to just be pleasing her romantically they are going to have to put up with her high standards of living. She is NOT going to be happy with living in a trailer, not that this is an issue with these guys...but in life when you choose someone you don't do it based on wallet size. What if he loses his job...can Emily handle that. Not sure what she is looking for but I think she sees $$$ in her eyes.
Ryan's One on One Date
Let's keep in mind, Ryan has had a 1:1 date before...when John "Wolf" has never had one. Kind of crazy.
Ryan was not surprised by getting this date. He feels like he's an easy choice for her. He's good looking and the bad boy she needs. Ryan is convinced that Emily likes that bad boy type. And let's admit that all girls do to a certain extent...but not for a future...especially when you have a daughter.
So Ryan and Emily go on a road trip. Ryan is full of it with the cheesy lines. She likes that he's playful though. And they went oyster "hunting" and ate some raw on a boat. It was gross. They wandered the streets talked to old screaming Croatian men. Ryan is bizarre. He is so smooth and then he is so dumb. He called her a trophy wife, AGAIN.
At dinner, he tried to fix things. He gave her a list of everything he was looking for and it pretty much didn't set well with her. Basically it was because on his list there was no mention of a family on his list and because she changed hourly about how she felt about him. So she decided not to give him the rose. He pleaded a bit but not pleasantly. Ryan sat and kind of told her he was perfect for her, he was shocked in her not giving him a chance, that they have the same goals...but it was all very fatal attraction creepy like. Emily said she wasn't sure it was the best decision. She said she may be making a mistake. He even sat and starred at her and asked what the tears were for. IT WAS SOOOOOO CREEPY! She finally said, "I don't know if I'd be the one to make you happy." Even stating "maybe it's my insecurity"...but she stood firm that she couldn't give him the rose.
I think Emily really believed that. Ryan came across very perfect and I could see him intimidating even someone as beautiful and perfect as Emily. Ryan is not a good dude. He needs to be taken down. This won't stop him though. Remember, he wants to The Bachelor...so to be continued. Because his final words were, "be sure your guys do a good job cutting this up and don't portray me as something I'm not, like an arrogant a**."
Arie snuck out and found Emily (probably with the help of several producers) after her date with Ryan. She was happy to see him and they hung out in her bed and she was in her gold evening gown and they talked. Arie wanted to be sure he supported her and told her that she had a good judge of character in sending Ryan home. It was sweet.
***I got very sidetracked during this part because I kept getting emails about a Scentsy event I'm helping to coordinate this weekend...so I had Rich help me catch up and well...that was painful***
Cocktail Party:
Going into this Wolfman John and Doug are on the fence in Emily's mind. Wolf goes first and pulls out his grandparents funeral cards that he carries around he got emotional over his grandparents love and then they made out. He opened up with her and Emily liked that.
Doug then who has yet to make a move on Emily gets some time with Emily. Doug is known as Humble Doug. Doug has no confidence and he was sweaty. Emily tried with him. And he made no move. He's a good looking guy but he's kind of annoying.
Rose Ceremony: Chris already has a rose....Roses go to Sean, Arie, Jef...and.... Emily decides she needs to take a break and walks out...she goes to find Chris Harrison and basically makes it seem like she is not giving out the final rose...but then gives out TWO roses and no eliminations. FINALLY...the Bachelor fooled me!!! Good surprise ABC...good surprise.
Because honestly that group of guys without Ryan are really funny!
Next Week Prague!
And finally it will come up that one of the producers dated Arie! And Emily isn't happy. Now I heard about this awhile back and apparently he dated her back in 2003. So he was in his early 20s...who cares. I don't think it effects any outcomes but we'll see!
