Emotional Upheaval in Lake Tahoe, Oregon

"It's another week in paradise with me!"

There is a lot of screaming and begging in this week's episode of The Bachelor. Oh, and crying. Lots of crying. Chris starts out by bringing the girls into the living room as usual and telling them that there will be two group dates and one individual date. But what's this? There is no date box on the table. Why is that, you ask? Because the dates will not be taking place in Los Angeles. Everyone is flying to Lake Tahoe! The girls all scream and kick and throw their hands up in the air as if Chris has announced they're going to the moon. The girls run upstairs to continue to scream, jump on their beds, and pack their things. Smug Stephanie tells us that she can definitely handle going to Lake Tahoe. Then she asks where it is. In Oregon? Um, no. I'm no geography expert, but even I knew that Lake Tahoe is part in California and part in Nevada, and I wasn't one of the girls screaming in ecstasy about going there.

Over at the airport Mayo pulls up in the DeLorean to meet the girls and accompany them on "his" private jet over to Lake Tahoe. He's telling the camera about how much more serious everything is getting now that the number of girls is getting smaller. As the limo full of girls pulls up and the girls spot Mayo, they begin cheering and applauding. Did I miss something? Did Mayo do a handstand? Demonstrate how to greet patients again, or get food in a cafeteria? No, he just stood there, but apparently this is worthy of applause. There are hugs all around and everyone boards the plane, then cheers and screams when the plane takes off. Bevin sits by the window and earns herself the nickname Sulky Bevin because amidst all of the cheering she is only concentrating on the fact that her ankle is sprained and she'll have to sit out the athletic activities. Remember, she's sort of athletic.

"If I try really hard, maybe I'll cry."

When the gang arrives at their Lake Tahoe suite in Oregon, what do you think happens? That's right, they all scream. Does anyone have any eardrums left? How about Gloomy Danielle with her earache, how is all this screaming treating her? Shut up, ladies. It's a hotel room. Mayo rolls around on the beds with the girls and tells us that he can see himself being happy with a lot of them, but it really is time to get serious. Serious - check.

Now it is time to explore Date Box #1. It's a little tray with some poker chips on it. How cryptic. I bet they're going water skiing! Nicole, Stephanie Kansas, Gloomy Danielle and Sulky Bevin: "Put your party dresses on and let's see who's feeling lucky." I'm still guessing water skiing. Night water skiing.

Group Date #1 - Mayo Hog

The lucky girls only have a few minutes to get ready so Sulky Bevin goes into Full Sulk Mode. She shuts herself in the bathroom and bawls. Tessa goes in to listen to her complain while Amber irons her dress for her. Bevin is seriously annoying with this ankle thing. Yes it sucks to get hurt, but no one likes a huge whiny crybaby. We've all been there, Bevin, grow up. All the girls take on one aspect of getting Bevin ready, and what do you know - she gets ready. Bawling and complaining the entire time. Mayo is in his room wondering what the crap is taking so long. Nothing Mayo. It's just that the producers have to decode all of Bevin's sobbing so that they can add subtitles for us later. Isn't that sexy? So I guess I was wrong about water skiing. They're just going to hang out tonight, so it really was worth it for Bevin to scream and bawl for an hour instead of just shutting up, getting dressed, and sitting down. So far all they're doing is sitting in Mayo's room, watching the sunset and eating. Oh, and sulking - well Bevin is. She makes it very clear to anyone bothering to look in her direction that she is UN-happy. Mayo decides to play this really fun game called Name the Most Romantic Place for a Date. Nicole names Cabo. Nice. Sulky Bevin what do you think? Sniff, "I don't know," sniff. Aw this must be so frustrating for Bevin to have to just sit there while everyone else is just sitting there. I officially don't like her.

another wonderful recap! you're the best, Honey Gangsta. i guess we'll have to rely on Sulky Bevin to provide a little drama in the upcoming episodes...sigh. thank god Smug Stephanie and her fake boobs were finally eliminated!

Bevin is doing everything I thought girls were supposed to avoid while dating...whiny, emotional, helpless, attention getting... This is really throwing me off. Maybe these two deserve each other.

Snug Stephanie is gone! I couldn't look at her ungly face and fake boobs any longer.

There is no chemistry between Tina and Andy. I don't get it. Maybe he's keeping her around b/c he knows she won't turn crazy when she's finally cut.
Amber is boring.

This show is so ridiculous yet I get totally sucked into it. Honey keep up the good work!

"Snug" Stephanie is out of control. Her speech about wanting Mayo to be happy sounded like a death threat! The look she had in her eyes was crazy.

Did you also notice that she was the only human in the bunch whose eyebrows arched above and beyond her sunglasses? They all wore them, but she was the only one who couldn't keep them under control.

Her "smoking hot dress" was just a showcase of her expensive silicone pillows.

Great recap - hilarious...keep it up.

Mayo is dreadfully boring.. I cringe in pain every time I hear ist medical blahblah (I´m MD myself and I would rather drop down dead that saying something like "That date was just what the doctor prescribed")

watching from germany and seeing the show for the first time, our version here didn´t go past season one a few years ago, wasn´t very succesful.. what became of previous winning couples, any happy endings?

Great recap. Your screencaps are hilarious. I loved Kate's faces behind Smug Slutty Stephanie, and for some reason that "I'm here, lucky ladies - don't leave!" made me laugh out loud.

I hate Bevin. She whined even before the ankle injury - in the pool on the group date. I still think she is much older than 28 and is turning into a McRottenEggs or whatever that crazy girl was from a few seasons ago with the rotting ovaries.

That picture was perfect - Bevin is sad because she can't partake in the sitting and talking that the other girls are doing because of her ankle. And if you are going to go without your brace and in high heels, you lose your right to bitch about said ankle. Ugh - hate her!!!

I don't know why I don't completely hate Sulky Bevin, but I don't - at least not yet. I was, however, positively gleeful at Smug Stephanie's DORing. What a wench.

I laughed out loud reading this weeks recap. When I read "candidness," I was saying in my head, "how awkward, that should be 'candor.'" And lo, Honey Gangsta hit the nail on the head! We know for sure that the perfect Dr. Mayo isn't nearly the wordsmith our HG is.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks for reading, guys! It's starting to get down to the wire, so we'll see who Mayo picks to either be a clone of himself or to babysit for life! Stay tuned...
