Uncle Chris gathers Ashley's gentleman callers and Bentley in the mansion living room. As always, he breaks down how the dates work, which everyone and their mom already knows. With that the first date is handed out. It goes to William.
Meanwhile, Ashley ponders her first night. She thinks she has some of the best looking guys that have ever been on the show. She then jumps in her fancy blue Hot Wheels car and picks up William for their date.
Oh yeah, Jeff is still wearing his mask.
The Dates
Date Category: 1-1
Bachelor Involved: William
Location: Las Vegas (Bellagio Hotel & Casino)
Highlights: They bond over their love of long-distance driving but then hop in a private jet to head to Vegas. William is kind of disappointed they aren't actually driving to Las Vegas. Have you seen gas prices? Ashley get swarmed by fans in a Vegas hotel. On the date, Ashley is putting William through the wedding ringer by making him participate in wedding-planning activities. William immediately develops a stammer and pit stains. Nothing says "is he here for the right reasons" more than an almost-wedding. Ashley takes William to a chapel and I keep waiting for him to pass out. She brings the ceremony to a halt before their "marriage" becomes legal, which is good because there are still 17 other potential mates to consider. Well, 16 if you don't count Bentley, because I don't. After a quick wardrobe change, the couple goes to dinner on the water by the famed Bellagio fountains. Ashley is again accosted by fans. William reveals that his life-goal is to be a stand-up comedian. Dream big, William, dream big. He also tells Ashley about his dad and his watch. William and Ashley share this season's first kiss.
Status: William gets the rose
Date Category: Group
Bachelors Involved: Constantine, Ryan M., Chris, Ben F., Nick, Bentley, Lucas, Stephen, Blake, Matt and Ames
Location: Las Vegas (Monte Carlo Resort and Casino)
Highlights: Ashley channels Gilligan's Maryann when she meets the guys. She wants to see how well they move. They have now entered the realm of the Jabbawockeez. She sneaks off while the guys are mesmerized by the dancing. Ashley joins the Jabbawockeez for about .5 seconds and informs the guys that they will be broken into teams and will have to come up with their own routine. The winning team will join the Jabbawockeez and Ashley on stage. The losing team will be sent back to Los Angeles. Team A (No Rhythm Nation) takes the stage and does their dance based on the Rose Ceremony. Team B (The Best Men) does a dance based on an MIA bride. The Jabbawockeez declare No Rhythm Nation the winners. The winning team and Ashley perform in the show and actually do a pretty good job. And by good job, I mean that no one fell down. At dinner after the show, each guys gets some time with Ashley. West tells her about his wife who accidentally drowned. Next up is Bentley...who actually says he wants Ashley to "tickle his pickle" (yes, he actually said those words) but that's as far as his interest goes with her. He tells Ashley that his daughter would be the reason he'd leave the show...and the fact that he's not attracted to her. Ashley then proceeds to beg, yes beg, him to stick around. And then she gives him the date rose! WTH is wrong with the girl?!
Status: Bentley gets the rose
Date Category: 1-1
Bachelor Involved: Mickey...beats out JP in a rousing game of coin toss
Location: Las Vegas (Shark Reef Aquarium, Mandalay Bay wave pool)
Highlights: Mickey, take the hair gel down a notch son, you're going to poke Ashley's eye out. They go to Aureole wine shop. Since Mickey had to flip a coin to get on the date, Ashley decides to flip a coin to determine the rest of the date. This is going to get old fast. They then head to the Shark Reef aquarium, where nothing particularly exciting happens. Oh Mickey you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind. Hey Mickey! Hey hey hey Mickey! Sorry, I couldn't resist. Ashley wants to flip a coin to see if he gets the rose or not. Luckily for Mickey, it works out. Ashley then takes him to the Mandalay Bay wave pool for a surprise concert by Colbie Caillat who is singing her hit no one has heard, "I Do." Ashley doesn't Heismen Mickey this time when he kisses her.
Status: Mickey gets the rose
Bachelors with no date this week: JP, Jeff and his mask, Ryan P., Ben C.
Heard/seen from the Mask:
1. Ames: Now that we're in 90-degree heat, do you wish you had a white mask instead of a black mask?
Jeff: Yeah, I kinda wish I had a white mask.
2. "Ashley will fall in love with me." Uh, I think there's a 100% chance of this not happening.
3. The mask sleeps with a sleep mask over his other mask. HA
4. "Being in ts house makes me uncomfortable at times." At times? Really? I would think it makes all the other guys uncomfortable all of the time.
5. "Tonight is going to be the night that I reveal myself to Ashley." Oh rly?
6. "This is serious. This isn't a joke." Again, says the 35-year old man wearing a mask.
Pre-Rose Ceremony Party
Every bachelor has a little black rain cloud over his head this time. And how fitting that it's raining. JP decides to flip a coin to see whether or not he gets to kiss Ashley. This time the coin toss works in his favor.
William pulls out the George W Bush impression which rubs the other guys the wrong way. They must be Republicans. ;) (I jest! But who doesn't love a good GWBush impersonation?) Nick tries to teach Ashley how to line dance and then William pulls the ultimate Bachelor-fail by interrupting and stealing Ashley when he already has a rose.
Why is it that ever ytime Jeff the mask is shown eerily staring over a balcony, I'm waiting for a chandelier to come crashing down? Jeff is finally ready to take off his mask and Matt interrupts. He would.
OMG, Ben C. is totally adorbs. I want to put him in my pocket and take him everywhere with me.
As William is once again talking about his date, Bentley says that he would rather swim in pee than plan a wedding with Ashley. The competitiveness then kicks in and he literally sweeps Ashley off her feet and works his douchey magic on her. He says that her kissing was boring. I bet Ashley is kicking herself watching this...or wanting to kick Bentley in the man bits.
