This weeks challenge will be a bit hurtful...literally and emotionally. Each gender group will be blindfolded, in white swim wear of course, and the other will answer a series of questions. Paint-filled eggs will then be hurled at whomever the egg-thrower thinks best fits the question. The guy and girl with the most hits after three questions will each win a safety rose and get to go one 3-1 dates.
This challenge is not ego-deflating or degrading at all, right?
The guys are blind-folded first and have no idea which girl is answering each question. Although I'm pretty sure that Vienna and Jake both knew that every time they were pelted with an egg, it was the others doing. Let's give them a little credit.
Question 1: Who are you least attracted to?
Gia hits Kirk.
Melissa hits William.
Holly tries to hit Ames, but misses.
Ella misses and it's not clear who she was aiming for.
Vienna, who claims she used to play softball, tries to hit Jake but misses.
Michelle misses.
Erica hits Kasey.
Jackie throws a speed ball at Michael.
Question 2: Who do you think least deserves the $250K?
Jackie pelts Graham....I think Jackie used to play softball, not Vienna.
Melissa hits Ames.
Erica misses.
Gia hits Kasey but the egg doesn't break, so the point doesn't count.
Question 3: Who do you want to see go home this week?
Everyone hits Jake...except probably Gia, but we don't get to see her throw on this one. But really, is anyone shocked by this?
Melissa and Jackie have to have a tie-breaker. The question is: Who is the dumbest? Jackie aims for William but misses. Melissa pelts Graham. Really Melissa, out of all those guys I'm 100% positive that Graham is not the dumbest. Anywho, Melissa wins for the ladies.
Now the girls are blind-folded and it's the guys turn to thrown some Easter eggs.
Question 1: Who is the most likely to cheat on you in a relationship?
Jake hits Vienna...how shocking. He says that she cheated on him three times. However, in the People magazine article after their break-up, he said there was no infidelity in their relationship. Come on Jakey, get your facts straight.
Michael hits Erica.
Kasey, who claims to have played baseball, aims for Ella but misses. Again, out of all those girls I'm 100% positive that Ella would be one of the least likely to cheat.
Question 2: Who do you want to go home this week?
Erica gets the majority of the eggs on this one.
Ames misses.
Jake hits Vienna.
Question 3: Who are you least attracted to?
Poor Erica...I think she gets every egg on this one. Michael hits her with an 80mph speed ball, after which he cringes with America. I didn't know he had that in him. It's kind of hot. But I do feel bad for Erica. No one wants to be considered the ugly friend in the group.
Michael wins for the guys.
Michael takes Erica, Michelle and ex-fiancee Holly on his date. They go to the haunted Linda Vista mental hospital. Um, I would have totally rocked this date. I'm kind of nerdy and into the paranormal stuff and have been to a couple haunted locations for investigations a la Ghost Adventures. It's fun stuff. Michael, if you want to go again, call me.
But I digress...
On the date Erica and Michael try to communicate with the dead which ends in them hearing a noise and jumping into the nearest chair. Michelle talks to Michael about his unresolved feelings for Holly. Michael ends up giving Holly the safety rose so that they can have some alone time and talk. Which leads to one of the most real, albeit uncomfortable, conversations every witnessed in this franchise. Michael says he knew he wanted to marry Holly from the day he met her (aw!) but waited a year to propose. After that, he says, it was a slow decline. She broke it off and then a couple weeks later regretted that decision so they got back together. A couple months after that, Michael broke up with Holly. Neither of them know what really happened (although I'm sure I could come up with a few theories) but Michael still loves Holly and probably deep down hope for a reconciliation at some point. Holly feels like they were always bffs but Michael says that he wanted to marry her, not be bffs. The date ends with a lot of hugging and crying.
The next day, Melissa selects Kirk, Kasey and Blake for her date. They spend the day on a yacht. Melissa tries to form an alliance with Kasey and kinda sorta promises him the safety rose. She dares the guys to jump off the railing of the boat and compares herself to being the Bachelorette. Uh, no.
Blake, who is not attracted to Melissa at all, decides to whore himself out for the sake of winning $250K. Um, you might catch a disease...or a Stage 5 Clinger. Just sayin'. He makes out with Melissa, who then gives him the safety rose, much to Kasey's chagrin.
Back at the mansion, Vienna is going off in a tirade about Jake and how he wouldn't eat her cooking...or something. Jake, knowing he is on the chopping block this week, asks to speak with her. Vienna refuses to do so without Kasey.
Gia pulls Graham aside to talk to him about breaking up the power couples. Graham agrees that they do need broken up but then goes running to Kasey to tell him. Boys are just a fickle as girls...and this is proof.
Meanwhile, Holly and Blake continue their flirting while Melissa frantically searches the house for Blake. Holly is confused because she knows Michael wants to get back together with her but Blake is something new and shiny to play with. That's pretty much how each of her franchise hookups began I imagine. Melissa finds Blake and Holly laying on a bed together and decides to lay down next to him. Awkward. Holly leaves and Melissa lashes out. Like I said, Stage 5 Clinger.
As voting commences, Jake tries once again to speak with Vienna, this time with Kasey by her side. Knowing that he is probably going home, he asks if they can find it in their hearts to save him. Kasey asks if Jake thinks he deserves to be there. Jake says he plans on donating the whole $250K to charity if he wins. Vienna calls BS because she knows that he is more than $200K in debt. How does she know this? Haven't they been broken up for over a year? Anywho, they basically tell him that he's going home and then creepily make out like being bullies is a turn-on for them. Ella and Kirk make faces at each other the whole time this is happening.
Chris Harrison turns the tables on the contestants and tells them that two girls will be going home this week. No guys will be sent home. So this was done to draw out more Jake/Vienna drama for another week? Well played, ABC, well played. Vienna immediately begins lashing out about how she and Jake were forced to brak-up on tv and now they're being forced to be in the same house again.
Harrison: Who is forcing you to be here?
Vienna: Well, no one but I didn't know he was going to be here.
Harrison: But who is forcing you? No one is forcing you to be here. If you want to leave there's the exit and I can call you a cab.
Me: Oh snap.
Kasey then asks Vienna is she wants to leave, they can pack and leave. She decides to stay after her attempt to stage a coup fell through (she tried to get everyone to threaten to leave because the whole situation was apparently cheating in her eyes).
Now the scrambling as to who to vote out begins. Jackie, Ella and Gia are all on the chopping block. After Kasey confronts Gia about talking to Graham about voting out the power couples, Gia gets upset, confronts Graham and decides to leave. She doesn't want to give them the satisfaction of voting her out.
After everyone recovers from Gia's sudden departure, Ella makes an alliance with Kirk to save herself. Meanwhile, Kasey and Vienna have promised Jackie and Ames that they wouldn't vote Jackie out.
Jackie ends up getting the boot. And then, in a scene straight from a Nicholas Sparks novel, Ames chases after the limo taking Jackie away and leaves with her. It really was the sweetest thing...until you read that they've already broken up. Sads.
Next week only one guy will get voted off.
