Date Recap: The date begins with a real treat of some behind the scenes footage: We get a little peaksy weaksy of Bachelor Rick getting ready for the date. Hubba hubba! This is definitely a side we need to see more often. Agreed? Our favorite line was prompted by cameraman’s question, “How do you mentally prepare for your dates?” Bachelor Ricky replies, “I do mental push-ups.” Classic. We also get some insight into Da Rickstah’s hair products, which I know all the ladies out there were dying to know how he gets his blonde locks so suave, so you too can create his look at home. Here’s the secret: He uses pomade and not gel. Whewwww. So glad he let us in on that little gem of a gem. Okay,sorry Roxanne, we know this post is about you. So, we’ll get on with it. As Rick swings open the door to find out who lucky date number eight is his reaction clearly illustrates that the two are not strangers. Heck, we could even go so far as to say the two could even resemble twins. Anyone see the resemblance here? So, at least they’re off on the right foot. They’re old friends, and they are wearing identical accessories. It makes us excited right from the get go. The pair head to a fondue-live jazz music joint and dip the night away with their fondue goodies. I dip, you dip, we dip. Anyone, anyone? Back to the date. The two take a few spins on the dance floor and then head to the parking garage holding hands where the Buckmobile awaits. The date ends with an awkward hug goodbye at the doorstep. We really love those.
First Impression: The girl is a cutie. And she accessorizes to match her date. Tall, dark and stylish... We dig it.
Surprises: Roxanne reveals that she has been to... wait for it... three Justin Timberlake concerts. THREE. I mean, I like N’Sync and all, but three? At least the girl knows how to drop it like it’s hot while sitting in her chair listening to live jazz music. I wanted to be there at that moment to jive with her. I was going to say that it was a SURPRISE Roxy and Ricky hold hands! But by now, we have come to expect this public display of affection, that we here at RealityMormon will refer to as PDA. Oh, what’s that? You’re familiar with this term?
Second Date Potential: Moderate to High. You bet this girl has got potential for a second TMB date. The equation is right here. She knows him. She dresses like him. But maybe that’s too much? So, maybe the equation is wrong? Since they’re friends, has Rick asked her out before? If not, why not? If so, what happened that she allowed him to slip away? We aren’t privy to this information. But just in case a date two is in order, we’ll hope that Justin Timberlake is in town, for Roxy’s sake.
TMB Excitement Level: Rick was genuinely excited to see her at the door. I mean, come on, you could hear it in his voice! But then, we wonder if the excitement died a little when he questioned why she’d been to so many JT concerts. But then, it clearly didn’t die, because he held her hand. But then, he has held a lot of hands. So then, what are we to think? Bachelor Rick, please don’t make this so hard on us. Can we just start a new system? Give us a thumbs up behind your back if you like her as more than friends, because this holding hands thing ain't giving us any insight. This will really help our rating system.

Creativity Points (1-10): Let’s give the girl a 8. This isn’t just any restaurant after all. It’s a fondue restaurant that plays LIVE music type-of-restaurant. And, she was date #8, so it just seems fitting, if for no other reason.
Final Thoughts: Roxanne, we like you. And we think you should get a second date because it appears the two of you were having fun together. But all of your fans are dying to know: What is your favorite JT song? We feel like your answer could reveal a lot about you and your future with Bachelor Rick. Sexy Back? Cry Me a River? What Goes Around Comes Around?
So, are we dead on, or dead wrong? What do you think?
I love this blog!!! You guys are wonderful!!! I want Rick and Roxanne to fall in love also!!!! YAY!!!
ReplyDeleteRoxanne here, you know Rick's "twin"!
ReplyDeleteFirst. I want to thank you for taking the time to give an outsider's opinion on the date--it's nice to get it from some one I don't know--since my friends and I have bias opinions! I love this!
I did want to answer one question though--I'm a fan of ALL Justin songs, duh! I was there when he retired Sexy Back, and there when he debuted Carry Out with Timbaland. I'd say those two are my top favorites but you can never go wrong with Justin!
The rest will have to remain a mystery for now...until that moderate to high ranking for a 2nd date comes into action!
love this blog. roxy you go sista! no really she IS my sister and she is so fun. you cant even count how many friends this girl has and GOOD friends at that. she is too busy for her own family sometimes cause her and her friends are always doing something fun or traveling somewhere. i think rick should take her on a second date and get to know her even better. her awesome awkward goodbye is only one side of her sillyness. ps im glad he didnt kiss her. i wouldnt have been able to show my husband the video, haha! sister in laws and their romances should be private :) GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BLOG its great and good luck to roxy! :)
ReplyDeleteI agree that we need to see more footage of Rick getting ready for the dates. Mental push-ups? Awesome!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I think they looked cute together...both are cute in the glasses and they seemed to have fun together.
