We all saw the previews for this episode. Could there really be a guy on the show that is into other guys? Surely they took his comments out of context. That is what advertisements are for. To show manufactured drama. But if you thought about it, no matter the context, Clint said some pretty revealing things. How many ways are there to interpret “we’ve gotten very close in the shower”? ABC even chased it with a brokeback bachelor mention. As we watched the episode unfold it was pretty clear that he has a thing for JJ. I am already looking forward to the men tell all and how the hot seat is handled. I wonder if Chris Harrison will let them sit in the same hot seat together.

In bachelor news Chris and Whitney have officially split:

I feel like I need a template for this. I can already slot Kaitlin in for one, and fill it with whichever dude she chooses after the season and have the picture on stand by. That way I don’t have to go digging for one. It’s been reported that Chris is trying to make it big or something. Chris. You’ve milked your fame for as long as you milked those Iowa cows. It’s time to put you out to pasture.

Our episode begins with Kaitlyn going out to settle down Kupah as he was busy yelling during his exit interview. She essentially told him to shut the fuck up, get in the car, go home. She also sent home Cory and Daniel Shia La Boof. I get it, eliminations are tough, but you can’t be crying already for sending people home. You are going to be out of tears before hometowns. Just send the soup nazi after them:

The next morning the lucky guys that survived the ceremony were awoken to the sound of a loud gong (and JJ to the site of Clint’s dong). 2 massive sumo wrestlers round everyone up and tell them they’ll be teaching some sumo wrestling. I swear one of them was E. Honda’s cousin:

JJ mentions his love of Japanese culture and starts naming things like sushi and…… well……that seemed to be the extent of JJ’s Japanese knowledge. The guys chosen for the date get to do a little sparring in their diaper looking thing. JJ right away tells us who has the worst looking ass (foreshadowing). I was a little disappointed that they actually got pixelated on tv and not the black bar treatment that Jillian got last year. They probably ran out from every time she wore shorts. Tony gets super emotional by having to fight for Kaitlyn’s love. He runs off and pouts and wonder’s why they can’t just go to the zoo. The other guys head off to some sort of public LA area to fight in front of a group of people outside. They stripped down and sumo’d in their diaper things. I’m really disappointed that these weren’t on hand though:

Apparently Clint wrestled in high school and had no problem picking up guys and throwing them down (more foreshadowing). I think he even channeled the E. Honda hundred hand slap. That night the guys showed up to some sort of cocktail party with Kaitlyn. Tony decides to stop by and tell her that he’s leaving. Something about missing his pets and bonsai trees. Stay Zen Tony. I can’t wait for you and Ashley S to reproduce. At the party Clint has a strategy that I don’t think we’ve ever seen on these types of shows before. He’s going to make Kaitlyn come to him and ignore her all night. I guess he is used to having the dudes ladies chase him. I think Shawn got the rose. Doesn’t matter.

One on one goes to Ben Z this week. They go to some sort of horror interactive exhibit thing. No idea how else to describe it. They are in a box and have to look for clues to get out. They open the door to go in and Kaitlyn freaks out because there are two pigeons chilling there. She afraid of birds more than anything. It’s a good thing the bird tattoos she has are on the back of her arms so she doesn’t have to see them. This was a boring and predictable date. Girl gets real scared, holds onto the guy for dear life, he comforts her, he gets the rose. Super lame.

For the last group date the guys head off in a short bus to an elementary school. They are going to teach some kiddo’s about sex ed. They arrive to find Kaitlyn swinging innocently on a swing. I know at least a couple had hoped she was wearing a sexy catholic school girls outfit:

Each guy gets in front of the class and awkwardly stumbles through the female anatomy. Benny H is able to incorporate Kaitlyn into his and wins hands down. None of this really matters because back at the house Clint and JJ are getting hot and heavy. We get a montage of them broing out that finishes with Clint playing the guitar and singing to JJ. Clint is also very environmentally conscious because he chose to shower with a friend. The other guys in the house are starting to pick up on it and getting a little weirded out. Clint says that he came on the bachelorette to find love, he just didn’t expect it to be with a guy. I think someone is a little bi-curious:

At the rose ceremony Clint is starting to panic because even though he doesn’t want to be there for Kaitlyn, he needs that rose to spend more time with JJ. So he sweet talks her and all is good. Then the other guys rat him out. We don’t really see what they tell her or why they don’t like him. We only hear the usual catch phrase, he’s not here for the right reasons. After hearing this from so many guys Kaitlyn can’t do it anymore and confronts Clint. ABC continues this new tradition and holds the rose ceremony until next episode. I’ve mentioned it before here but I don’t care for this whole rose ceremony at the beginning of each episode thing. With that being said, I can’t wait until Monday.

See you next week
