Before we get started on our Bachelor recap, we must give a special shoutout to the original girl crush, Scar Jo:
Really. Just ridiculously beautiful.
And on to the Bachelor!! Final three!!!
We started off this evening with a wine from Chile (we're going around the world along with the Bachelor cast, apparently):
La Playa Sauvignon Blanc
Price: $10.99
Location: Bel Air
According to a website, this wine is "Irresistibly inviting aromas tempt you with notes of fresh cut grass, grapefruit and honeydew. Crisp bright flavors define the wine on the palate with accents of citrus around a core of dry minerality. Zesty acidity leaves you smacking your lips and asking for more!"
Our vote? "Doesn't really taste like anything." "Yeah. Tastes like nothing." Which I guess is good if you don't like the taste of alcohol? (In which case, you're at the wrong blog.)
The meal of choice with this particular wine? Cheese, cheese, bread and jam. The dinner of champions.
So Mii bachelor and his ladies are off to....South Africa!!! We're sure you're with us when we gave a big "Aww!!!" to the baby monkeys, baby elephants, and baby giraffes. Obviously being a baby anything makes you about 10x cuter.
Brad started off with a safari trip with Chantal, which looked pretty amazing! Although, we both thought he looked like a goober with that stupid hat on.
Now, when we think of Chantal, we tend to think of this:
So it was nice to see her smiling for a change. Not so surprisingly, she took Brad up on his 'fantasy suite' offer, which turned out to be....a tree house in the middle of the savannah. Now, as amazing as this is for you camping lovers, we couldn't help but think "What if she has to pee?!" Nothing more romantic than running behind an African bush while Brad looks on. Eek.
Next up, Emily. And a new bottle of wine. Double YAY!
2008 Martin Codax Albariño Rias Baixas
Price: $13.99 (we were going snazzy this evening!)
Location: Selland's
Now THIS was a good wine! Green apple and lemon, with a vanilla finish. It went great with our leftover cupcakes from the Oscar party! (Chocolate and Fun-fetti, for those that are curious).
Lucky Emily was picked up on her date by an elephant, which made her cute cut off shorts look like underwear (we bet Brad was broken up about this):
He's practically crying here.
They had a romantic date and we really like that Brad is actually courting her, since he's aware that she's WAY too good for him. She's way too good for us. What is she even doing on this show?!
Finally, we have Bad Eyebrows Dentist on the most awkward date ever. Uhh, jellybeans? We think Brad made the right choice in sending her home, since all she could muster is that they have a great connection and chemistry. Who cares if we live in the same city? We have carnivals to keep us together!
Although we can't stand her eyebrows, we must give props to Ashley's "slammin' body."
Maybe this photo will keep her warm on those cold, lonely nights that she's studying for her final. Too soon?
We were also happy to see the return of Chris Harrison! Where has he been this whole season? This is the easiest job ever. Just show up in all these random, exotic locations and say "Ladies, this is the final rose this evening."
Can we get this job??
Next week: Behind the Rose: The Return of Crazy Michelle.
We'll leave you this week with a poll for the ugliest dress at the Oscars.
Melissa Leo vs Nicole Kidman:
Is napkin couture in these days??
Love the blog! It's hilarious!!!!! I'm still getting used to the fact that you even LIKE wine now Sarah! I remember the days where you couldn't stand a sip of it :)!!! Ok...I agree that Emily is the end all be all...so gorgeous, amazing, etc....but isn't she just a little boring???? Just doesn't seem like there is much going on with her personality wise? No? Or am I missing something...Do share!
ReplyDeleteHmmm...I'm thinking maybe she got a bad edit on the personality side? Although, Brad seems about as fun as a rock, so maybe they're a perfectly boring match?
