The Bachelorette -- Ali -- Ep. 3

Another interesting night of guys trying to get Ali to pick them over the next dude. Definitely an interesting scenario when the guys who are trying to get her attention also have to live in the same house and see how the other guys are getting along or not getting on.
Last night had two one one dates and one group date.

First one on one date: Roberto and the high wire act. First, they went up in a helicopter and did a bit of a skyline tour, followed by landing on the roof of a 20 storey building in Los Angeles. Ali pointed out to Roberto that if they wanted to have dinner, they would have to cross between buildings on a high wire. At least they were cabled in with safety chains and all. I can't imagine the adrenaline one would need to get pumped up to make it across that stretch. Obviously a set up for potential romantic moments and Roberto followed through. Halfway across, Roberto leaned in to give her a smooch. Quite a long smooch at that too. Somehow it seemed to calm Ali down and they made it across without any problem. They also appeared to have a good time together. Roberto definitely remains on the hot list. Some guys are physically attractive and they know it and some almost seem to count on it. Roberto strikes me as a decent guy who happens to be hot, which makes him that much hotter, actually.

The Group date. It was a music video shoot for a Bare Naked Ladies song, You Run Away. However, the music company must've decided to go another route, because that's not the video that was widely released for the song. Perhaps just a limited collection for those guys. Anyway, on the set, Ali and the guys had roles to portray. Poor Frank got slapped multiple times as part of the video. The director didn't seem to think he was getting slapped hard enough. Ouch. As if that wasn't hard enough, he was having a rough time dealing with seeing all the other guys on the set have kissing parts for the shoot. Speaking of guys who were having a rough time on set, Jonathan, the weather guy appeared to be having a bit of stage and performance anxiety. He got all psyched out about having to kiss Ali and then almost couldn't do it when the guys started to razz him about messing up the scene. He actually started to shed a few tears. Part of me felt for him, but at the same time I thought: oh dude, that's not going to keep her if you're going to cry whenever you think about performing with her. However that performance may be. Kirk, on the other hand, didn't cry when he had the bedroom scene with Ali. No sir. He got right in the mood and they were rolling around having a good ol' time. To prove that it wasn't just a screen kiss, later in the evening, while in the hot tub, they got back to practicing the lip locking motion. Needless to say, he got the on the spot rose and a secure spot for next week.

As far as the second one on one date went, well, Justin the entertainer guy hobbled his way up to Ali's place uninvited and took some of the time away from the guy who was supposed to go on the second one on one date, Hunter. Poor guy. Not that he really had a chance, but it just added insult to injury. I mean Justin definitely has a smarminess to his character. He's one of those guys that relies on being attractive and thinks that everyone will believe the B.S. that comes out of his mouth. When he gets caught in the B.S., he tries to spin it around on other people. Typical B.S.'r. For the time being Ali might be eating it up -- or some of it anyway -- but I don't believe he'll be there in the end. At least, one can hope she has better taste than that. Hunter on the other hand didn't have a chance at all. Even with him trying to call her darling and babe during the date, which only lasted a couple of hours as opposed to the whole day. Mind you, the date probably wouldn't have lasted the whole day anyway. The only chemistry happening on that date was digesting hot dogs and hamburgers. At least Ali was fairly gracious in telling him that it wasn't going to work between them. With that, Hunter went home before the rose ceremony.

Notable guys still around:
Frank
Roberto
Ty
Chris L.

Guys that I suspect will stick around for a bit, but won't last much longer:
Casey (Kermit)
Craig -- lawyer guy
Justin

There are some other guys, but maybe it's the editing thing or whatever, their names evade me. I suspect they won't be around much longer either.

Until next time.
