Well, it wouldn't be a day on the slopes if you didn't run around in a bikini, would it? Next up the girls all change into practically nothing and sit in a giant hot tub with Matt. Amanda pulls Matt away for a little alone time and tells him that if he comes to her hometown he'll have culture shock because her parents are rednecks. Matt thinks that's pretty funny, but mostly he just wants to make out.
Amanda Hug-and-kiss
It's finally time for Noelle to get her special date. Matt tells us that he really thinks there could be a connection with Noelle, but he needs to find out for sure. They head for an ice rink and I have to admit that this is actually a date I would be good at. I think I would actually blow the Bachelor away because at one point I was quite the little figure skater. Jealous, Noelle? Well, she should be and so should Matt because they both suck.
Aw, someone's not the king of everything.
Matt starts prying into a car crash Noelle once had that apparently left her with some facial scarring. Matt thinks it's destiny because he has facial scarring as well, although he won't tell us why. Butt out of her traumatic past, Matt. But Noelle tells him that the experience made her appreciate life even more and she realizes she needs to be grateful for everything. That's nice, I guess, but I can't stop rolling my eyes. Matt is smitten with her depth. They make out.
And at the cabin the claws are being sharpened. Robin gloats to the girls that she and Matt had a "big discussion" about hometown dates, but that's all she's saying. Tell us more, Robin, please! Marshana says that she's seen how Matt lives and now she wants him to see how she lives. Well! Robin takes serious exception to this because Marshana has never been to London! Marshana has no idea how British people live! Guess what, Robin. I've been to London and I know that they live a lot like we do. Again, he's not from Somalia. Marshana clarifies that she knows how he lives because she's seen him swim and play rugby. Okay, they're both idiots. Robin starts saying that's not his everyday life and out comes Marshana's index finger.
"Walk off!"
She tells Robin to not be condescending because she "will not have it!" And this, ladies and gentlemen, is the beginning of the most shocking confrontation in Bachelor history. Chelsea pipes in that she's seen nothing but negative attitude from Marshana, and I have to agree that she hasn't exactly been Little Mary Sunshine. Chelsea continues and here is Marshana's response. "I will not have it! I will not have it! I will not have it! I will not have it!" My question for you, Marshana, is - will you have it? Chelsea gives up and starts to leave and here is where all hell breaks loose. Marshana keeps telling Chelsea off for bringing it up in the first place and then orders her out of the room. When Chelsea leaves Marshana follows, still shaking her finger and yelling. She just keeps yelling the same sentences over and over until Shayne steps in the middle to break it up. Marshana then gives us a precious little speech that just has to be quoted:
"The girls calling me a negative person is a shock to me. I am a great person. I am nice and friendly, I am loving, I am... so giving, I'm so thoughtful, I'm charitable, and I'm a great person. And no one can convince me otherwise."
"Can't you feel my beauty?"
Wow, I had no idea how lucky we were to be in the presence of such greatness, did you? I am shocked and awed. Back to Marshana screaming that she is who she is and she doesn't care if no one likes it.
Ugh, are Matt and Noelle still on their date? What other pearls of romance do these two have in store for us? It looks like they have some chocolate fondue and that is about the most interesting thing in this scene.

Great recap, but I noticed on the date with Noelle that Matt asked if she would be comfortable with moving "to London...or California?" That's the first he's mentioned anything other than living in England. He is so thinking this is his big opportunity to break into acting. Shayne wins, hands down!

I am so glad that someone commented on Matt copping a feel on Shayne when he was trying to "brush her hair out of her eyes." Smooth move, buddy!!

So are you suggesting because Matt didn't care that Robin was hurt that he GASP might not have genuine feelings for any of these hoes?? I won't hear it! Walk off indeed, Honey Gangsta!!!
I don't know one thing about Amanda or Noelle besides she meeps and she has a viscious facial scar from a traumatic accident. And I am expected to believe he is going to pick one of them? I can't see him picking Shayne either, no matter what wise virtues her 17 year old sister may spout to him on her behalf. I still think it's Chelsea and maybe they'll even hold hands at the final rose ceremony!! Teehee!
Great recap again.

WHAT?!?!?! No mention of Marshana slipping as she was leaving? That gave me a little laugh.
I'm so glad she and Robin are gone. After Robin's final act, how could he not laugh? It was just so childish.
I AM bummed though that I'll never see the famous tea maker. :(

How is that he is making out with ALL of these girls? In the same evening -- likely, within the hour? If I were one of them, I'd insist he gargle with listerine first.
What's up with Matt cuddling up with Robin, then eliminating her? Then having no kind words for her (even if she was giving him the death stare). That didn't seem very honorable. That last bachelor (what was his name?) at least signalled to the girls fairly directly, even if they didn't see it. While we could tell because we saw the comparison of kisses/cuddling/facial expression, his words and actions to her were not, "And I'm not feelin' it." At least with Holly, he did have the whole 'challenging questions' conversation...

Marshana is insane and wildly overestimates her attractiveness. She needed to WAlk Off last week. Robin, too. My God....Robin, do you own a mirror? No? Go check out your reflection in the tea maker when you gt home, it ain't nothing special.
I pegged Shayne to win on night 1, and I stand by that prediction. Still, I expected her to be a mean, spiteful Hollywood biatchm, and it surprises me that I don't get that vibe from her at all. High maintencence? Yes. Spoiled? Prbabcy. But all things considered, she seems pretty well balanced and nice.

To me, the biggest thing about Shayne is that she's very self-confident. And why shouldn't she be.. but what I'm saying is, as hard as this is to admit, there is some solid parenting in her.
It's kind of like, basically, 'this is what we do. we're sane and direct in this life. and if you want something, you don't have to denigrate or break down others in order to get it -- just go after it with confidence.'
Now, I might eat those words if she gets ax'ed next week and throws a colossal tantrum, but I doubt it.

Thanks for the great laughs.
I think Matt is genuinely
disingenuous. His British charm has worn off.
Good bye and good riddance to Marshana. And the same to Robin. BORING!!
I bet on Chelsea or Shayne although we're never quite sure where Matt us coming from.
Great recap HG. You're the highlight of my week.
