The Bachelor Week 6: From Costa Rica to Crazy Town

This week the gang upgraded from last week's vegas trip to headed south to Costa Rica so that Brad could test the girls' thirst for adventure.
“What better place to fall in love than Costa Rica?” They stayed in a spectacular resort overlooking Arenal volcano. Whatever, been there, done that. Not in a $10,000 a night suite, but, details, details. While Brad was as boring as always, at least I could entertain myself this week by sharing my own pictures from vacations in Costa Rica.

Chantal with a C got the first one-on-one date.
Naturally, Crazy Michelle was pissed and wished for monkeys to attack Chantal.
I had a run in with a monkey in Costa Rica. He was jumping up and down on the top of a boat and I thought he was playing…so I started jumping along…he was not playing. Here’s a picture of my friend, once he simmered down.

Brad took Chantal zip-lining on the world’s longest zip-line for their one-one-one date.
After zip-lining they began to have a romantic picnic dinner before it started pouring. It turned out to be a nice excuse to run inside to the comfort of Brad’s room where Chantal slipped into something a little more comfortable…Brad’s white shirt…only. They enjoyed dessert, kissy face and then, a rose.

On to the group date where Brad took the girls repelling down a waterfall. Oh no he did-nt. Apparently after repelling down a building, Brad and Michelle made a pact not to ever repel without each other again.
Naturally, Michelle was pissed…again. So she made fun of the girls who were scared and then punched Brad a few times before he told her that the two of them would repel together. Then Crazy Michelle was happy again…temporarily. Here’s a picture of me repelling down the exact same waterfalls as they did. And let me tell you, it was a blast. Highly recommend!

After all that work it was hot springs and bikini time. Surprise! The girls all had their issues (jealousy, fear, etc.) and then Crazy Michelle went coo coo for cocoa puffs, getting angry with Brad for keep Chantal with a C around. It upset Brad enough that he opted not to hand out a rose that evening.

Next Abercrombie Alli finally got her one-on-one date. Brad showed up on horseback with two horses and two foals following behind. It was pretty darn cute. They rode around and found their way to a cave, where they went exploring. Unfortunately the date didn’t have the romantic vibe that Brad intended when a swarm of bats freaked the shit out of Alli.

But Brad tried to make it up to her when they got back together to share the world’s most awkward dinner (intended to be the world’s most romantic dinner) by the hot springs. Brad told the camera, “I can carry on a conversation with anybody, but this conversation is going nowhere.” I beg to differ, Brad. I don’t think you’re much of a conversationalist.

Their parting conversation was about Alli’s most recent relationship. She explained the relationship’s demise by saying, “I tried to convince myself that I was more into it than I was. It’s hard when you know somebody’s a great person and they have a lot to offer somebody, it’s just that you don’t want it for yourself.” To which Brad said, “I know exactly what you mean” and proceeded to dump Alli in the most romantic setting “in the world.”

Emotionally drained from dumping Alli, Brad went back to his room to relax…for about 10 seconds before Crazy Michelle came over to seduce him. The seduction didn’t last long before, once again, Crazy Michelle started harassing Brad over keeping Chantal C. Then she predicted the order in which Brad will send girls home. Brad left the conversation concerned over the “direction (their) relationship is headed,” but my fear is he’ll still keep her around.

On to the cocktail party and rose ceremony where Chantal shocked Brad by dropping the first L-bomb. He questioned how she knows that she loves him ('cause it's nutso!) but after her explanation thanked her and said that she turned his crappy evening around. The person who really had the crappiest evening was Jackie, who was sent home on a separate flight back to the states. But hell, she got a trip to Costa Rica outta’ the deal and that ain’t so bad!

So now we’re left with the following six bachelorettes:
• Chantal with a C
• Dentist Ashley
• Sweet Southern Belle Emily
• Teenie Weenie Brit
• Shantal the funeral home director
• Crazy Michelle

Until next week…in Anguilla!
