Although the deadline for the next Mormon Bachelorette wannabees is TODAY, word on the streets of Salt Lake County is that someone is already bragging that her role as the new Bachelorette is already a done deal.
Look familiar?

And the Winner Is . . .
For all those of you who thought "The Final Rose" recap was as exciting as life gets, we hate to disappoint you. But we thought his pick and the video of Bachelor Rick's pick was underwhelming at best. Sure, we were somewhat surprised by his choice of the final lady (We thought Jane had it in the bag. Poor, poor, Jane. We feel for her.). And is it just us or does Melanie look an awful lot like Hailey Duff? Seriously, like she could be a stunt double for her. What is it with Rick dating these teenage celebrity look alikes (although for the record, Sam really looked NOTHING like Miley, but still)? I'm really struggling getting through all 10 minutes plus of this video. Maybe Melanie has some spare Red Bulls she can lend me since she apparently didn't drink her's today. She just doesn't seem her usual bubbly, totally energetic, bouncing down the Walmart aisles self. Although it's probably safe to say she and Rick may have had a lot of late nights together. ;) Anyone else love Melanie's comments about what attracted her to Rick? Particularly the comment about how most "professional" guys are more serious and focused on their careers, but just by looking at Rick's pictures you can tell he is more focused on fun. Uhh, hello, Melanie? Earth to Melanie? Are you there, Melanie? That's because he's SINGLE! Duh. Most "professionals" at his age are long since married and therefore less focused on "fun." Okay, just about made it to the end here without going into a coma. Red roses from a supermarket. Nice touch, Rick! Walmart, perhaps? Oh dear. And those heart shirts? Also oh dear and also possibly from Walmart. At this point Melanie is probably wondering what she just got herself into. It was just one date at Walmart, Rick! Buying jewelry from Tiffany's is still okay!
Back to Rick's intro before he revealed he chose one of the Duff sisters to date. I'm sure Melanie is glad to know she was part of "just a numbers game." Most girls like to think fate has something to do with it. So, what do we think fate has in store for this new "complicated" couple (or so says Rick's facebook status)? Will they be a Matt and Aubrey and be engaged tomorrow? We're gonna say not a chance, unless Bachelor Rick is ready to drop his title of "bachelor" sooner than we anticipate and he's convincing enough that he can be Melanie's sugar daddy, and put her through school (which probably doesn't need much convincing. What Mormon girl would turn down marrying a dentist, even if his romance revolves around Walmart?). But, we've been known to be wrong before. And surprised. Very, very surprised (STILL surprised. Really, Jane, we're so sorry, but we just know an even cooler non-red headed bachelor is out there for you).
Also, can we just state the obvious here: Bachelor Rick did not need to be the Mormon Bachelor to find Melanie. He already knew her and had already asked her out. She was just a dumb girl filled with dumb excuses. So was the choice to have Mr. Buck become TMB totally a waste? Not to end on a negative note, but yeah, kinda.
Well, folks, until next time . . .

Angie Again!
Date #2 with Angie: Has Bachelor Rick gone on the last 2nd date of his life? Could he have found true love by now? The suspense is killing us!
Even though our Peruvian gal pal Angie fulfils Bachelor Rick's inner Rock Star dreams, we do have to point out one thing from the start. Since we gave a couple of other dates crud for being little wittle babies, it's only fair to point out that Angie may be younger than all of them since she just graduated from high school a mere two years ago. So a date filled with video games is appropriate for this little girl (raise your hand if you think Angie is wearing a bump it!).
"Can you see yourself in a relationship with me?" is probably not the direction Bachelor Rick wanted this date to go with Angie. Good grief. How's he supposed to answer that one with the cameras rolling? He takes the high road and says "Of course, that's why we're out on a second date! It's not fake! I wanted to go out on a second date, so . . . possibly." But what he was really thinking is "Oh crap! What do I say, what do I say? I wanted a second date with you, but that's it! So possibly. But possibly NOT! Dang these women!"
Angie is totally into Bachelor Rick. And Bachelor Rick is totally into Angie. Not. Definitely not. Sorry, Angie. All kidding aside though, we think Angie is a doll and we hope she finds the guy she is looking for minus any exes attached.

Sara O. Again
Date #2 with Sara O.: What's this outfit Rick is showing up in? Is that a rainbow on his t-shirt? Good thing he's looking for a wife, because he could sure use some help in the outfitting department. He's the Mormon Bachelor and a rainbow tee gives entirely the wrong message to poor Sara (but probably the right message to their dance instructor). Speaking of the MJ instructor, he looks reminscent of my favorite lost boy in the movie Hook. Go ahead and make fun of me for even remembering what the lost boys look like in that movie. Also, Sara must be pretty confident in her dancing abilities because she states that compared to Michael Jackson she is probably a 5. Doesn't Sara realize that compared to Michael Jackson's dancing, anyone else is probably starting at a big fat ZERO? Surprisingly, even though Bachelor Rick knocks his own dancing ability, he is pretty good but seems to be taking it all a tad too seriously.
The highlight of this date is neither Rick Buck nor Sara O. It's the old man busting out his MJ on the dance floor in a weird jiggly non-MJish sort of way. But it is still the highlight.
Sara O. is a super cute gal and she seems really chill and fun loving. We like that. Bachelor Rick says he likes that. So what's the problem? Is there a problem? We want to be her friend, but unfortunately, we think that's all Bachelor Rick wants, too.

Melanie Again
Date #2 with Melanie: Oh, it's Melanie again. Ms. I-can't-go-out-with-you-because-I'm-moving-to-Ohio-and-it-would-be-too-too-dramatic-to-date-you-before-I-go-so-I'll-make-it-even-more-dramatic-by-turning-you-down-and-only-going-out-with-you-when-you-become-the-Mormon-Bachelor! Yes, THAT Melanie. Hi, Melanie!
I'm going to go out on a whim here and assume this second date was in order long before Melanie could catch her flight back to Ohio, where cute single boys apparently don't exist. I'm starting to wonder about all the single LDS men out there. A majority of these girls are from out of town, all for a date with Bachelor Rick. Either men need to get with the times, or Bachelor Rick is just that good of a catch. Either way, one thing's for certain on this date, Rick was up for having a good time, even when the original plans fell through. How many times have we heard that one already? If we were rating dates off of creativity points, which we're not, we would have easily given it a high 10. The movie idea was great, and surprisingly entertaining to watch. I don't know about you, but boy, I'm glad they decided to stand in the shower, drench themselves, and then go stand outside in the freezing cold, just so they could reenact a scene from the Notebook. How many times do you think they had to redo that scene? All I can say is, thank goodness they ended the scene there, it could have gotten pretty intense after that. But like Bachelor Rick informed on a few dates ago, this is The Mormon Bachelor, not The Mormon Player, in case we were confused.
The chemistry is definitely alive with these two. So I guess the question remains, will it be enough to make the Rickmeister choose Melanie to be his Valentine? Or will the reality of Melanie moving to Utah for school be too big of a thorn in Ricky's side for him to endure (or another excuse for Melanie not to date him?)?
Speaking of school/students, is it just us or do about 75% of Bachelor Rick's dates so far seem to be students? Either they are all super young or they aren't young at all and we're hoping they're getting their Ph.D.s or D.D.S's at this point in their lives. What dentist wants to date/marry someone still getting their undergrad? We're just sayin' . . .

Jane Again
Date #2 with Janey: Ahh. The redheads reunite in the Red Apple at long last! I mean Big Apple! And is it just us or did that first head shot of Jane totally look like a petite girl version of Bachelor Rick? We didn't notice that on the first date. You've no doubt heard the phenomenon of likes attracting likes. So that explains the chemistry.
Okay, did Bachelor Rick plan ANY of these second dates? We thought he was supposed to plan ALL of them and it doesn't look like he's planned a one of them so far. Granted he's at a disadvantage not living in NYC and all, but still. There's this database of endless ideas called the Internet that could have aided him in his date planning. So instead of doing something special in NYC, they go the tacky tourist route and head to the M&M Store in Times Square. Does anyone out there really even like M&M's all that much? Now get me to a cake truffle factory and now we're talking. Oh wait. Bachelor Rick already did that. After some romancing on top of the Rock and some frollicking at a water fountain, the two get their red hair, er lips, even more fired up and hold each other til the wee, frigid hours of the morning. Okay, we don't really know if they did that, but we're just guessing.
So the chemistry is clearly strong (which as we now know is all Bachelor Rick is really looking for) and we think Jane is definitely in the running for that Valentine's Day date after all.

Andrea Again
Date #2 with Andrea: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Did Bachelor Rick just take a little skip, hop and jump across the country to go out with this woman? She must be cooler than we thought for a guy to make that kind of effort. We do have to say one thing here. This is the first date in many, maybe ever, that we actually had fun watching and didn't have to look away in that whole "I'm so embarassed for them, so I'm going to look away and pretend I didn't see that" kinda thing. It looked like it had energy, Andrea seems cool, and shock of all shocks, Bachelor Rick and Andrea actually make a fairly attractive couple. And if you think about it, these two would be quite the Mormon powerhouse couple. He a dentist and she a government official. Just think of it!
One downer was that Bachelor Rick went all the way out to our nation's capital and it seems they spent the majority of his time there decorating cakes. I mean, that's cool and all but if I flew 3000-plus miles to somewhere new, I'd at least want to take in the sights. I guess spending time with his date was the point of it, but still, can't imagine a guy wanting to spend a couple hours frosting a cake . . . speaking of which, can someone make the cake lady shut up, please? Oh geez. We get it, you're excited TMB is frosting your cakes. But seriously, what is it with the married folk thinking they have to convince the single folk that being married is awesome? As if every single LDS girl/guy out there is turning down marriage proposals left and right all because they think being single is superior (the people who fit that genre are few and far between). They get it already!
The Super Bowl party seemed hoppin'--I wonder how many girls tried to pick up on Bachelor Rick there? Any takers? Footage of the monuments in their nocturnal glory was great but we're confused why Bachelor Rick didn't kiss her? Did he need another kiss-cam? Talk about some romantic kissing spots. He mentioned in his date-recap that he wanted to make sure there was chemistry between the two (and then failed to mention it again. So was there or wasn't there? Rick?) and that it is often more difficult to determine if there is any on a second date. What planet is this guy from? If you don't know if there's chemistry by the second date, maybe that's a bad sign. Of course, there is more to a relationship than just hormones and kettle drums. Or something like that. Actually, I have no idea what I just said. I don't even know what a kettle drum is. So I'll just offer one final thought: Throughout this whole TMB process, we have wondered multiple times why some (not all) of these girls are still single. This date just reaffirmed that thought because Andrea seems like she has a lot going for her. Okay, that really is our final thought except I just wanted to throw in one more kettle drums just because. Okay, now that's all. I'm done. I think . . . except one last thing: can someone who is now on good terms with the cake chef please have her send us some of those cake truffles?
