The episode we have all been waiting for, well at least those of us who know the twins, Brad and Chad. Episode 3 has been hinted at for months now and was an obvious turn of events, bring in the identical twin to throw the girls for a loop.
This weeks episode features, deception, water sports, police interaction, circus tricks, two group dates, one single date and a million dollars in jewels. Chris explained that if you are on the solo date and do not get a rose then you are on the next flight home, so a little pressure on those solo dates to really sob it up a bit and "play the game".
The first group date included Stephy, McCarten, Jenni, Lindsey, Sarah and DeAnna. The gorgeous bevy of beauties was headed to the circus where Brad wanted to get a chance to see their "inner child". I must say the luxury box at the circus (which almost sounds like an oxymoron) is pretty damn nice, wouldn't mind hanging out in there for a bit before a show.
The party arrived long before the audience was let in. The girls took turns on the high wire, walking on giant balls and having bowling pins thrown at them. Jenni did show them all up with some quality gymnastics which only led Brad to dig her even a little more than he already does. Brad confesses that Jenni is the only girl there that makes him nervous and the really "wows" him everyday. At this point Brad and Jenni step outside to discuss their little kiss and both reveal that it is still a secret. Which is kind of shocking but really impressive on Jenni's part. I think if she was there to "play the game" she would have gladly told the other girls all about the kiss just to make them jealous.
Then Jenni really impresses when she asks Brad about long distance relationships and the need to finish out her season. It's very cool that her career is so important to her and she is willing to work hard to meet her goals. Then she really stand out when she says that she doesn't want to be "the last girl" she wants to be the "girl that he falls in love with". Way to score points Jenni, oh wait this isn't a game.
Next we find Brad and Stephy chatting on a couch where she bores us with a talk about marrying someone like her father (Doesn't every girl want that? It's like basic Psych 101). After the conversation about Daddy Dearest she explains that her longest relationship was in high school and that she has been single for five years. Ouch.
Sarah then puts Brad on the spot and asks him when he is going to give the rose out, which is kind of forward and a little awkward honestly. Brad says he is waiting and just wants everyone to have fun, which is a good idea because once that rose goes out the girls get catty.
Back in the lobby Brad drops the bomb on the girls that they are going to be an actual part of the circus, not just part of the audience. They hung out backstage for a bit and then hit the floor running. Brad looked like such a damn pimp walking out with all of those girls and standing in the center of the ring. Brad was really impressive on the mic and if he was nervous he certainly hid it well. Must say though that the Titanic reference was pretty funny.
In the midst of the circus Brad pulls McCarten away to try to figure her out. Problem is I don't know if she has figured herself out. I was impressed with her statement about not needing the rose to feel confident but I am not sure what to make of her since she has such a strange personality.
Meanwhile, back at catty headquarters Hillary finds out she is the one on one date which kind of bums Bettina out and brings out the claws in Jade (of course) who makes sure to mention that Hillary should be nervous because she could be heading home if Brad doesn't give her the rose. Hillary says she will show him a good time and see what happens, I think what she meant was she would cry a lot and hope he takes pity on her.
Back at the spectacular circus Brad and the ladies actually take part in the circus dancing around and wearing some pretty cool hairpieces. It's about this time that the gentleman who obviously inspired the hairpiece comes sliding down some sort of James Bond rope and presents Brad with the rose. Hey no pressure Brad, it's just something like 1200 people waiting to see who you give the rose too. Brad ultimately gives the rose to Stephy because he liked the way she opened up and put herself out there, which I admit is pretty cool of her.
The first one on one date starts with Hillary talking about how she wants to get the first kiss, little does she know that Jenni already took that honor. Brad shows up at the Bachelor Babe house with a necklace worth a million dollars, yes I said a million. You should have seen the other ladies faces when Brad placed that necklace on Hillary, wow. I feel a cat fight coming on.
Brad and Hillary take a private jet to San Francisco where they are led into some kind of super swank, super private dining room. Not really sure where they were but it looked like a hotel of some sorts. It is here over much wine that Hillary starts to break it down, or maybe just break.
Hillary tells Brad that she wants to be "crazy in love" which kind of impresses Brad. Then she starts to go South from there, she starts getting teary eyed and emotional. However if you actually watch the show you will notice that she constantly blinks and never makes eye contact with Brad while spilling her babble about love and falling in love with Brad. Not saying she is lying, just saying that she is only saying what she needs to say in order to survive. Lack of eye contact is a good sign someone is feeding you lines. OF COURSE, it could also just be the way they edited it, if so, I am sorry Hillary you're awesome.
Back at the Cat House the second date box arrives, Kristi, Sheena, Bettina, Jade and Solisa find out that they are going sailing with Brad.
Meanwhile we find Brad and Hillary still going at it, Hillary crying and saying some pretty serious stuff. Basically she is a wreck but keeps saying what Brad wants to hear. Brad really does want girls that are there for the right reasons not just to "win" or play a game.
Back at the Cat House once again we find a number of the girls around a table discussing whether or not Hillary would be coming back. Sarah points out that Brad was at a loss for words when Hillary walked in the room in the ABC provided gown. McCarten then makes it very clear that she is not there to make friends and then makes it crystal clear that she does not want Hillary to come back. DeAnna, my favorite, keeps it real and points out that none of the girls want her to come back but they are too lame to just say that.
Unfortunately we go back to San Francisco to find Hillary balling her eyes out still and then being forced to watch Brad give her the rose because she showed emotion and won him over with the tears. Not quite sure how much of what she said was just lines she was feeding him to get the rose or how much she really meant, but it worked.
Once Hillary finished balling, which miraculously ended the moment he handed her the rose, they headed to Ghirardelli Square to make some sundaes and have some fun. Hillary admits she wants to kiss Brad and finally does. At least Brad didn't wipe her kiss off or fall off screen laughing about how bad it was, but it certainly wasn't even close to the kiss he shared with Jenni.
The next group date takes place on a huge sailboat in the San Francisco Bay. Kristy and Brad share the helm for the bit and Kristy admits that she needs to lighten up a little bit and have some fun. Brad did use the "F" word with her, "Friend" which can either be the kiss of death or a blessing.
After a bit the party starts to pick up and Solisa (my party favorite) delivers a cute little lap dance for Mr. Womack. Bettina makes a comment about hiring Solisa for the Bachelor party, it's really not a bad idea, she IS local, she IS hot and she IS a ton of fun.
Back at B**ch Central the girls are lounging around the pool gossiping when Hillary asks the stupid question, "How many people didn't want me to come back last night?" She then proceeds to call McCarten and Deanna witches, now that's not fair is it? Moments later she starts talking smack about joining the "Mile High Club" with Brad and claiming that he told her he loves her. Which is obviously all a lie and meant to just piss them off but it also shows that she is there to play a game. I like the way Jenni is sitting right next to her and take absolutely no part in the conversation.
Out at sea Sheena and Brad are ripping around the bay on Waverunners when Sheena cuts him off and the Coast Guard is called in to regulate. End of one on one time for little Sheena. Bettina gets to ride on Brad's Waverunner which not only looks pretty hot but I am sure she enjoyed a lot better than riding her own. Bettina explains how lucky she felt to be there with Brad and then makes quite possibly the cutest face ever and says she fell in love with Brad on the Waverunner. Awwww.
All the while Jade is explaining to Solisa that all is fair in love and war and they she really doesn't like her. Guess we know who is here to play a game and who isn't.
Bettina and Brad drop below decks to have a little private talk. Brad says that he is worried that her whole sweetness might just be an act. Bettina explains that she is terrified that she has to tell Brad she has been married and divorced. Once she finally does drop the bomb Brad looks completely taken aback and tries to very valiantly just play it off and make her feel comfortable. Well Bettina is you don't make the final cut you can always call me, I don't mind if you're divorced, you're adorable. Brad has my number.
On the main deck Brad walks out with the rose and presents it to Kristy who shared some time at the helm with Brad earlier. Once again it's fun to watch all the catty girls give dirty looks when he does it.
Then it happens, cue Chad Womack. Brad let's the world know that he has an identical twin brother named Chad. He explains that Chad has always been there for him and he is going to use his help to pick the next group of girls. Brad tells Chad that he wants him to go into the house and pretend to be Brad. They want to know who can tell the difference and who won't even notice.
On the way to the house Brad and Chad go over the girls bios and dossiers so that Chad can be up to speed on the girls and their pasts. Brad hangs back in the limo to watch the interactions on a monitor.
McCarten is the first up and talks to Chad about being herself around him, or something like that, it didn't really make a whole lot of sense actually. Chad starts giggling which tips McCarten off who calls him out on his little giggle fit. I don't know if she really knew it was Chad though, Brad seems to think she failed.
Next up is Lindsey who fails absolutely miserably and has no damn idea that Chad is not Brad. She asks him how long he would like to be engaged and asks him about his passion for outdoor activities. Overall, she failed.
Sheena is sitting outside waiting for Brad, I mean Chad, it takes her absolutely no time at all to notice that Chad is not Brad. She notices the difference in voice, the difference in look and more. Kristy does equally well and notices within second that Chad isn't Brad. Same story with Bettina, she notices the difference in look in just a matter of moments.
Stephy and DeAnna make short work of it as well and quickly notice the change up. Brad states that he has spent some time with Sarah and he is confident she will get it. Wrong. Sarah says he looks different but never really puts it all together, ouch. Why Sarah why?
Back in the living room the girls are gathered and talking about how "Brad" wasn't himself. It's about that time that Chris walks in to announce the change up, which pretty much instantly makes Sarah, McCarten, Lindsey and a few others feel pretty damn stupid. Chris explains it was a test and you can almost instantly see the despair go across their faces.
It's deliberation time and Brad is going to get some help from Chad this time. They quickly did a recap of who did and did not realize a switch had been made. Some of those who got it: Kristy, Sheena, Stephy, DeAnna. Some of those who didn't get it: Lindsey, Sarah, McCarten (McCarten was a close call though). Chris and Chad leave Brad alone to make his decision.
It's time for the Rose Ceremony. Hillary, Stephy and Kristy already have roses leaving six to be handed out. Brad hands out the fateful roses in the following order: Sheena, McCarten, Jenni, Jade, DeAnna and Bettina.
That leaves Solisa, Sarah and Lindsey packing their bags and heading for home and only 9 girls now remain. Sarah claims that the "twin thing" threw her off and she had no idea what went wrong. Solisa says something about her "special parts" and how they are on the outside and Brad got to see her special parts. EXACTLY, what the hell did she say? Lindsey says shes not going to cry over something that's not there, then proceeds to cry. Funny.
My top three are still in there DeAnna, Jenni and Bettina. Next week we get to watch Jenni fall even more in love with Brad and we get to watch the other girls become even more bitchy. I can't wait.
