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?
did you check out Andrea's blog? It gives a clue as to why he didn't kiss her...and there is even more fun footage :)
ReplyDeleteWe like Andrea a lot! She's a great gal! The other girls seem pretty great, too. But Andrea seems to have a maturity about her that is more "long term relationship" material. imho.
