The Bachelorette Goes to Prague

For this episode, the crew goes to Prague. On Arie's date, Emily wears metallic hot pants despite it being cold enough to see Chris Harrison's breath. (In case you are a guy reading this: hot pants = really short shorts). During her date with Arie, she reveals that she now knows Arie dated the producer of the show. She doesn't say how she found out though. Then, Chris Harrison gives a super cheesy monologue. In this, he reveals that the producer told Emily, "once she saw that things were getting serious." Then they show what they refer to as an "interview," but is really just a candid conversation where Emily confides in the producer. Afterwards, Arie makes a fool out of himself by continuing on and on about being incredibly open and honest. He fails to be open and honest about knowing the producer, though, much less having dated her. The whole time, I couldn't help but notice that Arie is getting more and more grey hair as each day passes.

The cameras skipped filming the rest of the date. Chris Harrison explains that Cassie, the producer, Arie, and Emily discussed the situation in private and now all parties are A-Ok with the situation. They cut to Arie and Emily at dinner at night. She apologizes to him for not giving him the benefit of the doubt. They watch a fireworks show from on top of a moving tourist boat which is full of people. Yes, they are sitting on the roof of the boat, directly above other people seated on the boat. Strange.

Back at the hotel, they show the rest of the guys sweating it out. A scene reveals that the guy with a pomerianian for hair has an arm tattoo. I'm pretty sure it says "Ragin'." I guess when you are twelve, that is the coolest word you know. The only appeal for this guy is that he is child-like, and Emily has already made it clear that she is desperately yearning for a whole schoolbus full of children. I think she just sees him as the fastest way to gain another child.

Later, Emily and John go on a date. They are supposed to symbolize their "love" by locking a padlock around a fence. Unfortunately for them, Chris Harrison gives them a defective lock. John reveals that his "tough shell" is caused by his ex-girlfriend cheating on him right after their one year anniversary. Emily feels sorry for him, so he is in the running to possibly get a rose. At the end of the date, Emily walks him home and drops him off. Sean realizes that means she is nearby and on foot, so he runs through the streets of Prague, shouting Emily's name. I know plenty of women who wish Sean would roam the streets of Prague searching for them. Emily seems to appreciate it, claiming that her face hurts from smiling so much once he finds her. Then they make out, quite intensely, for a while. I read somewhere that Sean is a State Farm Insurance salesman. I would imagine they saw a jump in sales due to this show. Again, I know several women who would gladly and immediately switch their insurance for the chance to meet him.

The next day is the group date with Sean, Chris, and Doug. Emily shivers the whole time, despite actually wearing pants on this date. She starts to tell Doug goodbye in the middle of their date and he kisses her mid-sentence, she says thank you, and he responds "yep." Ummm.....Awkward. She finishes telling him goodbye and he starts crying. The poor guy will probably never kiss a girl again. He already had to overcome fear to kiss her, then she immediately sends him home, and the most awkward situation in the history of both The Bachelor and The Bachelorette airs to haunt him. After Doug is humiliated, Emily returns to give Sean a rose. Everybody saw this coming, right?

Later, Emily and Jef go on a date. She wears these weird, fringe boots that look like Clydsdale hooves. Seriously, check for yourself.

See what I mean?

Jef is shy around Emily, but they buy some puppets and Jef finds it to be a way that he can openly communicate with her. He reveals that his parents will not meet her next week on the hometown date, because they have a commitment in South Carolina. Wait, what? That sounds really shady. What parents are not home when their son brings home a girl to meet them. He plans on marrying her and starting a family "yesterday." Makes me wonder if his parents are in the CIA or something. Again, I think the whole appeal to Jef is that she is yearning for more children, and he basically, is a child. He can't say a complete sentence without saying "like" at least four times. I have a suspicion that Emily might know this. That's why Arie got hot pants and Jef got horse shoes. Let's face it, Arie and Sean are really the only two she wants in the end. If Jef hadn't played what she thought was "hard to get," she wouldn't have even given him a chance. (Really, he is just shy around her.)

At the rose ceremony, she wears a dress that resembles a blue trash bag. She is such a cute girl. She needs to work on picking out cute clothes. Her terrible choices distracted me from what was actually happening on the show. I will see if I can scrounge up a picture...
