Bachelorette Recap: The Meathead Edition

So the show begins with Harrison informing the guys that they are headed to Jersey.  It really couldn't be more fitting with the number of meatheads still on the show.

Honestly can you tell the difference:


 

vs.


 


The Bachelors should fit in perfectly in Jersey.


One on One: Brad
So Brad's Domestic Violence arrest wasn't enough to keep him from getting the first one on one date, but his lack of ability to put words together to make a sentence was his undoing, and he doesn't make it to the rose ceremony.  Des takes him to the highest possible spot to break the news that he will not be getting a rose, just in case he wants to jump.  Oh and Brad was that really the first time you have tried taffy? Really?


Group Date: Mr. America
What a great idea for a group date, a Mr. America pageant.  Especially on the day following this debacle (no pressure guys):

UTAH ALWAYS REPRESENTIN (and it is not the dumbest answer ever, that title still belongs to Miss Teen South Carolina)

Back to the Mr. Bachelor competition.
The first part of the competition is the question/answer and we learn a lot about the gentleman:
1) Kasey is a giver, apparently he has not learned from Michael Douglas' revelation and could soon be contracting cancer.
2) Chris' worst quality is not taking girls out to dinner as much as necessary.  Sex Addict, Alcoholic, Liar, Druggie we can deal with but a Lack of Dinner TakerOuter not that is a deal breaker.
3) Who Pablo also has a kid.  Who on this show doesn't have kids?  This group of Bachelors has spread more seed than a wheat farmer.
4) Brooks wants to be a lion which apparently to Des is the funniest joke she has ever heard?
5) Mikey is not just a piece of meat but has feelings (he then proceeds on the talent portion to do a strip show and upside down pushups, way to drive your point home).

In the end Kasey wins Mr. America but Zak gets the rose perhaps because of this:

I'm The Full Package
After the talent show we get the mandatory Benhateathon, Ben is Mean, Ben talks more about his bar than his son, Ben is a liar, Ben is not here for the right reasons, Ben talks to Des in front of us waaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh.

We also are transported back to the hotel where James is getting ready for his date by taking a bubble bath and eating chocolate covered strawberries?  I can't believe he stole my daily routine.    

One on One: James
James shows up and learns that the date will be seeing the horrific destruction caused by Hurricane Sandy.  I don't see this leading to a fantasy suite.  The good news for James is I doubt she will bounce you on a date like this, in fact sharing this experience should buy you a couple of weeks.

We get to meet Manny and Jan whose house was destroyed by the hurricane and Des and James so graciously agree to give their date to Janny.   So cute.   ABC spends 40 minutes showing Janny having a great time but in the end sends them back to their wreck of a home.  Hey if they wanted their home fixed they should have went on Extreme Home Makeover rather than the Bachelorette.    

James and Des decide to get some pizza and a beer where James lets Des know that he cheated on his girlfriend.  Uh oh!  That definitely hit a nerve you could see it all over Des' face.  He just blew all the goodwill the service date had got him because all girls know, once a cheater always a cheater.   James and Des joing Manny and Jan with Hootie and what do you know James The Cheater starts dancing with Jan right in front of Des, the guy has no shame.      

Cocktail Party/Rose Ceremony
Michael G: Has a gesture for Des and he spells her name on white paper D is for down to earth E is for Easy to talk to and S is for smile and lastly G the last letter of my last name stands for great if things worked out for us.  Des tells him he is soooo funny.  She better not be serious.  There was nothing funny about that.  Michael check this: M-oron; I-diot; C-ouldn't be more lame; H-urry up and get booted; A-bsolutely stupid gesture you just did; E-asily the worst gesture I have ever seen other than Kasey getting a tattoo for Ali;
L-oser.  

Bryden: Pity party, plays the I might not accept the rose if I don't get more time with her card and then gets a rose and accepts it.

In the end Zack K surprisingly gets sent packing.  He didn't seem to get much of a chance and seemed like a normal dude, oh wait he is crying, maybe not as normal as I had hoped for.

Next up Germany and the revelation that Ben and James are not there for Des but rather to be the next Bachelor.  No me digas.  Someone should tell them that it never works like that, just ask Ali.
