It's Pre Rose Ceremony Cocktail Party Time! Chelsea is worried that Marshana is going to tattle to Matt about their argument in Sun Valley. Sure enough, Marshana puts on a sad puppy dog face and tells Matt that her character was viciously attacked. I don't think guys care about hearing stuff like this, to be honest. What can Matt do about it? It just makes the girls look stupid. Matt tells Marshana that she's here for a reason and he's really impressed by her. For some reason that sounds like a let down speech to me. And here comes Chelsea. Marshana is bent out of shape that she and Matt didn't get to kiss. You snooze, you lose, Marshana.
Chelsea is still trying to convince Matt of how much she wants to be here, so I guess her fantasy suite card wasn't as powerful as she thought it would be. They make out anyway. Marshana complains to the other girls about Chelsea interrupting and Shayne tells her that everyone needs alone time and it was Chelsea's turn. See what I mean about Shayne? She's surprising me.
Here comes Robin. What will it be this time? They start snuggling in full view of the other girls and Noelle is convinced that Matt is really into Robin. When they kiss Shayne can hardly stand it. During her alone time Shayne tells Matt how hard this is because it's so real to her. She tells him she wants him to meet her famous family because she wants them all to tell him how amazingly wonderful she is. Um, didn't you just do that, Shayne? Matt tries to brush Shayne's boob while she's talking and I just have to call a foul on that one. Hands off, Matt! You can't keep your tongue out of everyone's mouth, but at least keep your hands to yourself.
You've got to be kidding me.
Thank goodness, Chris is here. It's finally over! Guess what. Matt is here to find the love of his life and it's not going to be easy. Yeah, yeah. Matt thanks the girls and says how important family is, blah, blah, blah. Here are the roses: Shayne (I'm so surprised!), Noelle, Chelsea... Ladies, Matt, this is the final rose tonight. When you're ready. AMANDA! No! Robin is out? I don't believe it, I really don't. What about her British-ness? What about her tea maker?!?
Marshana tells us that she did everything she could possibly do. She got in a pool! There's nothing left she could have done. Now she's going home 100% the lady that she arrived. Not quite, dear. Ooh-hoo, Robin is pissed. She walks up to Matt and he tells her to take care. With her head down, she rolls her eyes up at him, says, "Bon soir!" and walks away. Well! Nothing like leaving gracefully. The part that really bothers me about this is that as she storms away, obviously hurt, Matt looks like he could care less. After all the fuss he made over her he's almost amused at her exit. Maybe he just didn't know what do to, but I think he's mean. I mean, Robin's no princess, but geez. Outside she bawls to us that it's his loss and his mistake and she just can't be here anymore! "$*#! him!" His loss, indeed.
Such a good sport.
Next week, Matt fulfills his dream of meeting Shayne's dad, then he goes to Colorado with Chelsea, somewhere unknown with Noelle, and to Florida with Amanda, where her dad asks if they've been physically intimate, a scene which I'm sure will be edited out before it reaches our screens. Aren't they always?
So! Can you believe that Robin got the British boot? We'll never see her British-y parents and their famous tea maker!
Thanks for reading!

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.
