This week, Brad and the ladies left Las Vegas and flew off to Costa Rica. Suddenly, each woman's age was revealed, along with her name and occupation. Maybe I'm crazy, but I'm pretty sure that hasn't been shown all season. I'm a pretty avid age watcher because I like to compare, and I noticed those were missing throughout this season.
After Brad showed them to the villa they would be staying in, Chantal learned she had received the one-on-one date. Michelle said, "All I can do is be patient and hope that Chantal gets attacked by monkeys. Or apes." Great.
Brad and Chantal went for a helicopter ride before going zip-lining in the pouring rain. This may be one of the best quotes I have ever heard on this show: "It's definitely a different position, having my legs wrapped tightly around Brad, but it's definitely something I could get used to." Well, Chantal. Thanks for spelling that out for us.
Back at the villa, the ladies received the group date card, which was for Jackie, Michelle, Emily, Ashley, Shawntel, and Britt. This left Alli for the second and final one-on-one date.
Meanwhile, Brad and Chantal sat down to dinner...and got immediately rained on. They grabbed the wine and the rose and ran for Brad's room. First, Chantal plopped down on the bed and bounced around a little, and then, she headed off to the bathroom to put on Brad's clean, white shirt. Someone could have told her she forgot to put on pants. They made out, Brad gave her the rose, and they went back to eating each others' faces off. Very attractive.
In case you missed the memo and weren't aware, Michelle once again reminded us all that she hates group dates. Brad told the ladies they were all going to rappel down a waterfall. Michelle was in another tizzy because she and Brad made a pact never to rappel down anything with anyone else besides each other, and this date was clearly breaking their pact. Jackie, who is incredibly afraid of heights, finally made her way down and left Brad and Michelle alone. As she rappelled down, Britt said, "I think Jackie might soil herself." Awesome. Michelle was still pouting at the top. "It's really annoying to see Brad being so nice to the other girls." Did she think he was going to be mean to everyone else and only nice to her? Did she ever watch this show before? Really. All her whining and attitude was for nothing, because Brad had saved her for last so they could go down together. Of course, this ended up making all the other girls on the date jealous.
Later, they all stripped down and hopped into a pool the "natural hot springs" had created. Brad had a Dad moment and pulled Jackie aside to tell her how proud he was of her. Gee Brad, is that all you could muster up? Emily had a crazy moment of her own and told Brad she finds herself starting to really like him, but that's scary. She then went on to tell him she sabotages relationships and runs away. Wow. Did she want another rose?
Chantal and Alli found a giant beetle on the table at their villa. Chantal picked it up with a book and waved it around in front of Alli to freak her out. It worked, considering Alli screamed and threw her glass full of soda right at Chantal and her beetle friend. Still think you're funny, Chantal?
Michelle wasted the alone time she had with Brad yelling at him, and then kissing him. From what we see at home, the woman looks absolutely psychotic - yet he keeps giving her roses week after week. She must be a good kisser. At the end of the date, Brad chose not to give anyone a rose. It was expected, after the awkward way the night went.
Brad and Alli went horseback riding and walking in a cave. There were bats and bugs in the cave, so Alli freaked out, and Brad comforted her. The "altar" that had been mentioned on Alli's date card was finally explained as steps that had formed out of natural stone. So many "natural" things in Costa Rica! Afterward, they had dinner on the water, but Brad noticed he was having a hard time carrying on conversation. In the meantime, Chantal took a poll of the girls to find out who thought Alli would come back home and who thought she wouldn't. The odds weren't looking too good for Alli.
Brad tried to break things off with her gently, but she just interrupted him and blabbered about how comfortable she is with him and how she could hang out with him everyday. He finally spit the words out and sent her home roseless. Serves her right for being a jerk about Emily last week.
After sending her home, Brad was emotionally exhausted and needed time to process everything. Then, he heard a knock on his door, and when he opened it, there was a creepy figure standing in the darkened hallway that said, "Hola." She came inside and cozied up to him and told him the order in which she wanted everyone to leave, kissed him for a while, and then turned and left. On a side note, her hair looked absolutely ridiculous. I understand she was trying to be trendy with the braid and all, but she looked...dumb. Her braid looked like it was done on the crazy train she's been riding this whole season.
At the Cocktail Party, Mr. Womack came in, clearly after he'd woken up on the wrong side of the bed, and was awfully cranky. Emily admitted to Brad she was an idiot for what she said to him the other night, which was a relief to Brad and just what he wanted to hear. The other girls discussed what Brad had mentioned about getting grief for not giving out a rose on the group date.
Michelle, who looked like a brown and lavender cow, had some more alone time with Brad. He told her she's scaring him, he felt like they took 10 steps back, and he was afraid of where they were going. Being quite the actress, Michelle started crying. "I want to be married. I want to have more children," she said. Now, that's a scary thought. Michelle should not be allowed to produce anymore offspring.
Shawntel asked Brad who was giving him grief, and he just said someone called him out on not giving the rose. They played the "silent game," and then she just started kissing him. She easily lost the game.
After this, Chantal figured out Michelle must have snuck off to see Brad. (Felt like she pieced that together a little too quickly, don't you say?) She asked Michelle, who fessed up to having snuck off to Brad's room to spend 20-30 minutes with him the night before. There was lots of tension among all the ladies after that.
Chantal pulled Brad aside and rambled on for a little while before telling him she loves him. Well, someone moves quickly. He said thank you. That has to suck.
At the Rose Ceremony, Ashley, Emily, Britt, Shawntel, and Michelle were given roses, which sent Jackie home. Apparently, she'd fallen in love already, too. What's with these ladies? Sheesh. Hold yourselves together, women!
