And then there were three...

Finally. Bobble-head Chris has left the building. I wonder if he was cringing like the rest of America when he watched last night’s episode. Aside from the Dad’s “she loves you” blunder, and the unfortunate rose curtains in the dining room, it’s always been obvious that Emily just didn’t connect with Bobble-head like she did with the rest of the guys. On a scale of 1 to C-ya, it was C-ya.

And then there were three. I kind of knew it would come down to these three guys. And I was okay with that because I was certain she’d pick Sean (I mean, who wouldn’t?), and Arie. And while it would have been oh so sad to see Arie rejected as he got down on one knee to offer up his choice of Neil Lane diamonds, we’d be okay because we knew that the Genetic Gift would get the girl, and all would be right with the universe. 

And then someone put batteries in 1-F Jef.

And heaven help me, I… like him. Ugh. And Emily likes him too. The way she looked at him when he read that letter (and that was a great letter)… I don’t think she’s looked at the other guys like that. Has she? Did you notice how she DANCED down the road at the end of the date? And… he’s the only one who mentions Ricki. We’ve still got the “fantasy suite” dates to get through. Maybe this is a case of editing to throw us off track. Maybe.

Arie’s mom. Yikes. She looks like a scary version of Emily 100 years from now. And I’m sorry, but how rude was it to start speaking a foreign language in front of someone who has no clue what you’re saying?! I HATE THAT! I like Arie, but racing aside, I just don’t see Emily blending in to that family.

 

However, I do see her blending into Sean’s, and it seems like a natural fit. I mean, the man has two perfect dogs (off-leash trained!). His family has the perfect house (LOVE everything about it). His parents are the perfect grandparents (did you get a load of that playhouse?). And about the Genetic Gift himself, Emily gushed, "He really is so perfect. He’s the perfect all-around man." And that’s why I’m worried. Because it’s just. too. perfect.  (Except the way he kisses her sort of grosses me out).

So what do you think? Who are the final two? 

Did anyone notice that when Chris drove away it totally looked like he stuck his hand out the top of the limo and flipped her off? Did you notice his socks?

Do you think Jef would ever change his hairstyle for her? Did you notice how he kept playing with the hem of her skirt?

Did you fall for Sean’s prank about living at home? (I’ll admit it. They got me on that one.) Did you just love how he chased after her again? Or did they tell him to do it? (When did I become so cynical?)

Does Arie have a chance?

Until next time, Fellow Time Wasters. And stay away from those spoilers!
