Spoilers ahead - the rats abound

Before I start with tonight's ep, let me say this: the rats abound, on poor Ali's season. No wonder she's afraid of love. That woman's instinct is NOT failing her. She realizes some aren't there for the right season. Too bad she didn't listen to the other guys, about Justin. And too bad his girlfriend didn't call in sooner. According to Steve, that was set up. I don't know about that of course. I do know it would be better for Ali if BOTH rats had come forward much, much sooner.

No wonder she didn't pick anyone, if she really didn't. She's scared shitless of being hurt, and look what happens to her. Not once, but TWICE during her season.

I started this not liking her, for how she treated that other girl, but I'm ending up feeling just sorry for her.

On with the ep!

Kasey is sure Iceland is the place to share that ridiculous tattoo. Here's a clue: if you want a woman, do NOT have a tattoo of a heart and symbols of eleven other guys on your wrist. LMAO it's so idiotic. The only worse thing he could have done, is put that shield on his cock. Can you imagine? hehehehheh "This is to shield the most important part of me, which will belong to you." No, I didn't go there... I didn't say anything about needles (but I'm thinking it roflol!)

Let's count the times she says My biggest concern is will he love me back. One right away at the beginning of the ep, as we see the gorgeous scenery in Iceland. The first thing the guys have to do, in one hour, is write a love poem to Ali. Icelandic language gets extra points. Justin has no luck finding someone to translate for him. No one else has trouble.

Kirk's poem blows her away. Truthfully, it WAS the best. And he DID walk right up to her and say it. Craig R was at least funny. Kasey was a dud, no one understood him. Yet he's sure, positive, he's getting that rose. The next few poems are dreadful, only way to put it.

The worst is yet to come. Chris didn't even remember his lines. His was pathetic. Kirk's blew everyone away. Well done to him! It was evident she was gonna pick him. Even Frank liked it and he was sure he was the best. His wasn't bad, but Kirk's rocked.

Kirk is a cutie, and I don't get why he doesn't make it much much further, but we know he doesn't. He might HAVE had it not been for the rats, Frank and Justin. I hear next week we find out about rat 1: Justin. This rips Ali to shreds, and I feel dreadful for her. She's pissed on the previews, but she picked him over someone else on the two on one; she has to be kicking herself. They should bring Tattoo Idiot back. He was better than a rat.

Kirk and Ali have a really neat date in Reykavic (excuse the spelling, no doubt.) They laugh and carry on in the sweater shop, and wind up in the same damn sweater lol. He finally tells her about the dreaded mold, after she KNEW he was holding something back. She's a bright chick. She knew something was there. Why didn't she see thru Justin and Frank?

Back at the ranch, we find out that Justin and Kasey are going on the two on one. Arch enemies, you know THIS will be interesting. You also realize she's gonna see that tattoo, and that's going to be the end of Kasey. Hell, I'd have ditched him for less than that (his voice bothers me. Would you want to marry a guy who talks like Donald Duck? I didn't THINK so.) "That's why I got this tattoo. To be someone. To be a man." There's a new one on me. You gotta have a tattoo to be a man? Truthfully, before I decided I was gay, I went out with hundreds of men. Not a one of them had a tattoo. I personally don't LIKE tats, at all. And even less so on women. *Lydia on Big Brother was a fine woman, I'd have done her, except for alllllll those tats she had.

Back to Bach. The group date includes horses, and Ty shines. Even in the cave he rocked it. Of course he got the rose, and well deserved it was, too. He even helped other dudes on the horses, as they made asses of themselves (pun intended lol)

Frank hung out at the back of the pack, not bothering for some reason to go near Ali. She notices it. And calls him on it. At the Blue Lagoon, no less. I loved when Ali strips. She is one more hot female in that bikini. Ali jumps on Frank for hanging back on group dates, and he apologizes. Dummy.

Finally we're to the two on one. Tattoed man says he means what he says, and he'd go thru any pain to be with Ali. Doofus. How could he possibly think a tat would do the deed and turn her on? With those eleven symbols.

And Rat 1 is saying how he wants to be the only one in the copter with Ali. For more screen time, perhaps? For me, he's had enough. I'm glad after next week I don't need to see his rat face anymore.

Meanwhile they're looking at that incredible volcano. I'm envious. It's splendid.

And at the end of the date, sure enough, poor Kasey is standing on the glacier whilst the rat flies off with Ali. There IS no justice. Sure, he's an idiot, but his heart is in the right place (more than I can say for the rat, with his two girlfriends back home. Not even one. TWO. Neither of whom knew about the other. What a scuzzbucket Justin is. And he'll never make it in wrestling. Doofus.

BTW Ali is sort of freaked, when she sees that tattoo. Those eyes go wide. ROFLOL I'd have had to have said "So you think ink is the way to my heart? Th-ink again."

Then it's the cocktail party. Ali reconnects with Rat 2 (Frank.) I feel terrible for her, if I haven't said that before. She keeps saying she's afraid of love, and why the fuck not? Look what she's dealt with. These guys are supposed to be there for HER. You and me, we know it's a Fleiss special. But Ali is hoping to fall in love, and more importantly, BE LOVED. With two strikes against her before the show even ends.

Embarrassing moment of the night: Chris's moment with her at the party. Boy can't even open his mouth, and is stiff as - well, let's just say he's stiff! ;) Their body language is so telling the other guys notice it. This is an ungood thing, and we all know who ain't getting the rose tonight. Too bad. If not for the rats, this cutie could have perhaps stuck around and loosened up some. (Up till now, it's like he has a board up his ass roflol)

Sure enough, Ali has a wee talk with Host Chris, and tells him she's terrified of not being loved. Shit that he is, (He for sure knows about BOTH rats,) he reassures her. Me, I'd have said "Shitcan Justin, there's a good start for you. And next week? Shitcan Frank. Then you're all gold." But noooooooo. "You can't go through this with that fear," the little wimp tells her. Of all the nerve. Knowing what's coming, yet he can say that.

And we wonder why she didn't pick anybody? (If indeed she didn't, Steve isn't sure about that.) We know she thinks Roberto is too good looking. She even told him she wouldn't go up to him in a bar because "he's too hot." Bless her heart, does she think she's chopped liver? Evidently she does. Switch teams, Ali - I'm right here waiting :D

Now comes the RC. We all know what's coming. Who ain't gonna get that rose. This is easy for Ali. (It should be easier. If only she knew what WE know, she'd shitcan a rat.

She says she needs to trust her gut and her instinct. She sure does. Maybe hers ain't working so well?

And the RC itself. Ty Kirk and Justin already have roses. A rat has a rose :( How unfair is that? I have the terrible feeling she's falling for Rat 1 and Rat 2 both.

So, the first rose goes to Rat 2, Frank. Awful. Second rose to Chris L, who she should marry. She really should. Or next bach, maybe? Third rose to Roberto. She could marry HIM too (or next bach?) And it's the final rose. Long faces, as usual. Lawyer looks nervous. He doesn't need to be, as she calls out "Craig."

Poor Chris looks like he's been shot between the eyes. Just in shock. She made a HUGE mistake. Kill a rat first, girlfriend. Listen to the guys in the house.

Chris is shattered, he says. She missed out on a lot she would have learned over time. He says it's tough to lose such a good girl. The worst pain anyone ever wants to experience.

Ali doesn't look happy, and says it's going to get harder. Then she says they're going to Turkey (Where, aptly, she loses a turkey. Imagine THAT.)

And so it goes.
