Gettin' Down to the Nitty Gritty in Prague

I think this week was by far my favorite one! Emily's adventures in Prague started off with the much anticipated date with Arie. She did a pretty good job hiding the fact that she knew something in the beginning of the date. Of course there was a lot of kissing while touring Prague, but Arie didn't know what he was in for! He should have rubbed that statue 100 times! I knew in the end Emily would forgive him, but of course the show had to thrive on the drama..So, all is well, they made up and Arie comes out with the big guns and says he loves her. Romantic setting, fireworks, and the 3 magic words made Emily a happy, happy girl!

Onto her date with John. Last week she was on the fence about him but was impressed by their talk at the cocktail party so why not? Their date seemed fun and filled with energy but there was something lacking. They weren't very affectionate with one another either. Their emotional chemistry seemed to be more intense than the physical, and their relationship has definitely moved slower than hers with the other guys. This date definitely gave Emily the insight that she needed.

Okay, I'm now 100% in love with Sean! Aren't you? Okay, okay Sean didn't run all over the city of Prague alone with no help from the producers to find Emily, but he still wanted to see her, made the effort, took a chance that the guys could find out, and found her! A+ for Sean! You can tell he has such a sweet, gentlemanly way about him, and heck, we don't have to mention his hunky body and adorable face. Emily seemed surprised in a good way! Sean wanted more one-on-one time with her and he got it. Thats the way to pursue a woman! Ryan should be taking notes from him! And you know my question from last week? Is there going to be a guy who can challenge Arie to his heavy duty make out session against a wall? Oh yeaaaa! Sean brought it!

Going into the 3-on-1 date, Sean had the edge of course. The only word that comes to mind for this date is AWKWARD. Sean, Doug, and Chris are hanging out at this huge castle in Prague, such a romantic setting, but with 3 guys? Ya, not so much! I was cringing during Emily's alone time with Doug. All talking and no touching? He apologized for touching her leg? Yikes! Wayy awkward body language! I think Doug is attracted to Emily and thinks she's pretty of course, but I think he is way too old fashioned and in this scenario, you can't move that slow. I was cringing even more when he kissed her! Doug! Ahhhh! Poor guy! Chris just frustrated me to no end this week on their date. All he does is complain but does he realize the situation he's in? He is fighting for one girl with 25 guys (well now 6). You have to SHARE Chris! His immaturity shined through during this date. Of course Sean's 1-on-1 time was so sweet. He and Emily have such a balance of both emotional and physical chemistry.

Jef's date was cute. I was never a huge Jef fan but I can see what Emily likes about him. He's a man and he can take care of her, but he also has an immature, playful side which definitely came out in the marionette shop. Him and Emily can be serious and talk about kids, family, and their future but they can also be silly and act and lie on the floor just laughing and having fun. Thats a great part of a relationship. It's great that he thinks of Ricky and brings her up on their dates. He really got Emily good when he went back into the shop and bought a marionette for Ricky. What can I say? I think he might be engaged to Emily and playing with Ricky when this is all said and done.

No surprises on sending John home. It was the obvious choice since her relationships are much stronger with the other four guys. Ready for hometowns? I am! Hometowns are by far my favorite part of the show because you get to see what the guys families are like and how they interact with them, and more importantly, how Emily can fit in. Until next time..

Bachelorette in Croatia

Wow, Dubrovnick, Crotia looks like a great city! Emily's first date was with Travis. I wanted her to have a 1-on-1 date with him just to see if there was a connection. I got my answer! Travis is a great guy, very sweet, but just not right for Emily. Their date was really cute, especially when they were dancing in the street. I knew he would be going home though. It's too bad he set Shelley (his egg) free!

I loved, loved the group date! Way to show off the guys' manliness..hot hot hot! Seeing the guys walk out in kilts was just awesome--they looked muy caliente! Brave was an awesome movie to take the guys to because it really showed them they have to work for what they want and treat Emily with the utmost respect. Too bad Kalon and Ryan weren't on the group date..they need a wake up call. I truly felt bad for Chris during the challenges..He tried so hard and seems really physically fit but he just failed at every attempt of winning in the games. No surprise about Sean! Oh man the muscles on him are dayuuuum! He knows he's fit and hot..and hey! confidence is sexy! It was sweet of Emily to take Chris aside to bring his confidence back up. He definitely needed it! Ya ya, Chris needed the bravery cup but come on, Sean really deserved it! Let's jump to Arie and Emily's alone time after the games..Whoa I mean their heat is OFF the charts! Let's see if any guy can top his moves to get Emily up against a wall and kiss her as passionately as he did this season. I'm thinking no one will but who knows! Come on Emily! Chris got the bravery cup AND the rose? Give someone else a chance! He wasn't that embarrassed!

Oh, Ryan! Thats all I have to say about their date. Could he dig himself into a deeper hole? Jeez Louise! His disrespect for a woman is unreal. If I were Emily I would have sent him packin' a long time ago. I mean really Ryan, you are never going to find your trophy wife. You might find one who you think could be a trophy wife but you're never going to win her over with that attitude! Learn how to treat a woman! I think she is really physically attracted to him but his comments just ruin whatever positive she might be feeling towards him. I'm glad she sent him packing! It was hilarious to see how shocked he was at dinner. That goes to show you how arrogant he is. It didn't even seem to affect his ego..that's how cocky he is. He was trying to convince her that she was making a huge mistake and that he really wants someone like her. Well, of course you do Ryan but you're not going to get any woman with that 'tude! Bye Ryan!

It was really cute how Arie went to see Emily after she sent Ryan home. Arie definitely learned his lesson after the last episode. Seeing Arie definitely confirmed her feelings, as well as her choice to send Ryan home. I think Arie ran over there for a make out session, what do ya think? No matter where they are they're going to sneak that in but come on! They didn't really talk about much! You can tell she really likes him. He will definitely be in the top three!

I loved that Emily runs the show this season. She doesn't do things exactly by the rules and that makes it seem more real. Her time with the 'wolf' really showed her that he's a genuine guy and she wants to learn more about him..but Doug? I mean he was one of my favorites from night one because he seemed so genuine and caring, and he is good looking, but hello! Put your arm around her, make some sort of contact! Its like he's afraid to do anything because he might get rejected. You've gotta put it out there buddy! So Emily did the right thing and kept all of the guys at the rose ceremony. Good choice! Way to keep the guys on the edge of their seat with that one!

Until next time..

The Bachelorette: Lucky in London

Off to London! I loved this week's episode! Emily and the guys were in London where Sean and Jef got their first one-on-one dates. I really enjoyed seeing Emily and Sean's connection move forward and also to see Jef finally make a move and show Emily his true feelings.

Emily and Sean started their date off by going on a tour of London in the best way possible; a double decker bus! It was so darn cute when they came across Buckingham Palace where William and Kate got married and had their first kiss on the balcony. Sean took charge and kissed Emily with the balcony in the background..So romantic! Dinner looked fabulous! Who wouldn't want to have dinner with someone special in an old London jail? How mysterious! They jumped right into some serious talk, talking about how many kids they want, and their past. Yayy! Sean got the rose! They ended the night with a kiss outside at the top of the building. Emily mentioned how wonderful her kisses are with Sean and that she sees them getting better and better each time! Aww, he's every girls dream!

Emily invited the remaining guys on a group date where they would perform a Shakespere play. All of the guys adapted regarding their role in the play, except guess who? Kalon. I mean come on Kalon, be respectful and show Emily that you're trying at least instead of shooing her away. Jeez! He took his Shakespere part wayyyy too seriously. Although Arie didn't get his ideal part but he really had a great time with it. He just let loose which Emily said made her fall even more for him. What a cool date..but..It wasn't over.. They all went to grab beers after and talk which is when Doug made Emily aware that Kalon was not there for the right reasons. He told her some of the things Kalon said about her daughter, Ricki being baggage, and thats when Emily blew up at Kalon. It is about time! She finally cursed him out and sent him on his way back to the US. Good riddance! I think Emily had valid reason to be upset with the guys for not making her aware of this issue with Kalon earlier. It was nice of Doug to bring it up but according to Emily if the other guys (especially Arie) had her back they would have brought it up sooner. I think her talking to the guys about it really made them realize that they better step it up if they want to move forward in this quest for love.

Emily's date with 1 F Jef was much anticipated for not only Emily, but the viewers too. The last time they were together on the beach, Emily was expecting to share their first kiss but when Jef just hugged her she seemed confused. Does Jef like her and is just not showing it or does he not have any feelings towards her? Valid questions. Well, it does turn out that Jef likes Emily! Their date was very cute. They had an etiquette lesson which they ended up ditching and then they had dinner at the London Eye. It was a very romantic night which Jef topped off with a kiss. Emily looked thrilled! She seems to be really into him.

I was surprised at how much Emily grilled Arie and told him how upset she was with him. I do agree with her that these guys should be supportive of her but he might not have wanted to tattle on the guys, to take part in the drama and for her to accuse him was a little abrasive. Glad Arie took it okay and learned from his mistake! Oh, Sean! Their one on one time at the cocktail party was oh so romantic. Emily definitely likes him A LOT considering she gets butterflies in her heart! Oh my, so cute! You can tell she just loves being around Sean. Alejandro going home was definitely expected. There was no sort of chemistry, let alone connection between them. After all, they only spoke once or twice that we saw on camera the whole time! Looking forward to next week in Croatia! See you all then!
