Last week was a cliff-hanger although every preview showed Kelsey rolling around on the floor saying "I can't breathe". Girl- if you are talkin', you're breathin'. I don't necessarily think she was faking. She clearly has some issues with expressing herself in appropriate ways but, that being said, I don't believe she was in a crisis situation that constituted flailing on the floor needing oxygen. Asking for Chris when she was in that predicament is ridiculous. The last thing I would want my new boyfriend to see is me in the middle of a panic attack getting attended to by medics.
As expected, KardAshley was super mean about the whole thing. I would be rolling my eyes and hoping Kelsey didn't get a rose too but Ashley just needs to shush those massive over-done lips.
On to the cocktail hour or, as Chris says- "cacktail". Chris is really not the most expressive fellow. His mini rants make so sense and the girls stand there with looks on their faces as though they have NO idea what he's talking about.
I can't believe Samantha got sent home. Mostly because I keep forgetting she's there and then the camera shows her 1/2 a time per episode and I'm like- "Oh yeah- Sam's a person". So mostly, I can't believe there's a girl named Sam on the show. It's also a shame about MacKenzie- her hair was just starting to get settled.

As the girls continue to get stamps on their passports... oh wait- they haven't left the midwest yet... Chris admits "I'm not into drama. I'm just looking to have a bit of fun. That's why we're coming to Deadwood". How romantic.
Becca needs a chance to push her way up to the top and she finally gets her one-on-one. She seems like a cool girl and actually way prettier when she's dressed down. I think it will be a great change of pace for Chris after all of the craziness going on as of late.
When Becca tells Chris that she's insecure about communication in relationships, Chris assures her that he's a really good communicator. Let's take a look at how effective his communication has been with Britt:
This season is making virgins out to be people who can't touch a member of the opposite sex or show affection to someone they like. At least Becca isn't making a big deal about it to Chris but her interviews make her seem a bit confused on where her "line" is. Chris was a gentleman for giving her a peck when he gave her the rose but I'm glad she went back in for more and got the full on make-out.
The group date really was the "most shocking date ever" but the element of surprise had nothing to do with the girls. The real shocker was finding out Big & Rich are potentially still relevant in the country music world. I watched John Rich on Celebrity Apprentice and he killed it raising a bazillion dollars for his charity and being an all-around great contestant. He must have really connected with Gary Busey off camera that same season because "Big" of Big & Rich is Busey in a crazy hat.

The girls are tasked to write and perform a love song. This date definitely brought out some insecurities in some of the girls but showed a light-hearted and fun side to others. Jade has clearly never listened to country music before as she said "It's hard to write a love song when he's clearly into someone else" Ummm... hello- every achy breaky song in country music history has that exact scenario. You can't script broken heart and torn emotion better than that.
Carly sings for a living but her performance was only slightly less awkward than when her brother, Zak, sang to Des at The Men Tell All but way less awkward than when Kasey sang a capella to Ali . Let's relive. My favorite part is at 0:36 followed closely by 1:00-1:01. Wasn't this the date where he didn't get the rose and she left him alone on a mountain?
Quick update- Kasey is now a bar brawler. http://radaronline.com/exclusives/2013/05/vienna-girardis-ex-kasey-kahl-will-serve-180-days-community-service-for-12-bar-brawl/
Jade is the first girl to talk to Chris about how shes can see herself in Iowa and living the Farmer's Wife life. I think she is really into Chris and but her feelings may be blinding her a little bit. She moved from a small town to L.A. to pursue modelling and start a cosmetics line and she shouldn't abandon that for the possibility of love.
Britt and Chris are so ridiculously attracted to each other. They can't keep their hands (or their lips) to themselves. That being said, the attraction seems really shallow and surface. They haven't really gotten to know one another because they spend all their time sucking face and having outlandish dates. She will definitely be the girl who the winner of this season is jealous of for all eternity and will never allow Chris to interact with her again.
The folks at ABC must have called the producers from Millionaire Matchmaker because these girls are looking awfully sober lately. Patti has a strict 2 drink minimum which is great advice in the real world but horrible advice when you're supposed to be entertaining millions of people for two hours every Monday night. Less articulating your feels in a clear way; more drunken blubbering!
Chris runs off to a Big & Rich concert with Britt while the other girls wait around for over an hour. When they return, the ladies are piisssssed and with reason. Chris gets to just pop by, make things really awkward then ditch Britt to deal with everyone. At least give Britt the rose then send the other girls home to continue the night with a one-on-one. Don't leave the other girls sitting there waiting.
Classic two-on-one date scenario- rivals! The Bachelor has a tendency, more so than The Bachelorette, to put rivals together on group dates or, even more heartbreaking, best friends! Who could forget Ashley S. and Ashley H. during Brad's season. Luckily, neither one of them ended up with Brad since he's a greasy doucheball.
I wonder what Kelsey will think when she watches herself back. In my experience, those who spend all their time talking about how smart they are, aren't that smart. Kelsey comes across incredibly condescending and has obviously rubbed everyone the wrong way. My first impression of her was positive. In her attempt to come across strong, poised, articulate and intelligent, she actually makes herself look judgmental, self-important and uppity. Her laugh is the true tell-tale sign of being coo-coo pants. Imagine sitting near Kelsey and Chris at a funny movie...
Again with the "drop me off and kill me locations". Laying on a weird bed in the middle of the Badlands on a windy day is a scratched retina waiting to happen.
Ashley was really dumb for dishing all that dirt on Kelsey to Chris. Never actually tell The Bachelor what's going on in the house!! Spend the time talking about your own feelings and your own relationship with him; not about anyone else.
Kelsey doesn't have discussions- she lectures. She's a know-it-all and I don't think she listens to anyone. Did she say Ashley is someone she can trust and is friends with? She was mortified that Ashley was talking smack about her to Chris which is to be expected.
It is really shitty of Chris to keep telling the girls what the other ones said. "I couldn't lie about it"- yeah but you could tell her that you don't want to throw someone else under the bus.
I don't think Chris has really liked Kelsey or Ashley I. that much. They're both obviously a ton of drama and way too much work for him. It's a huge red flag for any guy when a girl can't get along with others. Lots of the girls in the house have problems with Kelsey but they aren't mean about it.
Surprise surprise- they both get dumped and Kelsey is left sitting on the bed by herself as the helicopter picks up Brad and flies away. "Where's Ashley?", you ask. Oh- she's been sitting on a hill crying the entire time. As the chopper takes off, Kelsey gets up and runs into the desert. Clearly the same producers as in Ali's season. (see video of Kasey above). I'd be like "Ummm... Chris- do you mind if I take this one? Wait- do Ashley and Kelsey have to share a ride back?! Has Ashley been seen since?
Meanwhile, back at the house, the girls popped a bottle of champagne and jumped around with joy when they saw Kelsey's suitcase being taken away. It may be all nicey nicey for now but I'm sure next week will prove to bring out more claws yet fewer fake eyelashes.
