In The Bachelor 11 Episode 4, McCarten and DeAnna continued to employ their theory that they’re not there to make friends so they can treat people like dirt, everybody decided they hated Jenni (more) because she was Brad’s first kiss, and three more people got eliminated (McCarten, Stephy, and Jade). That brings us down to the final 6.
Bettina gets the one-on-one date, a romantic evening on the water. Before she goes, the girls inform her she has to kiss when she goes under bridges… why tell her that? Brad hopes she can just relax and be herself. She says she’s been brought up to believe the girl is supposed to play hard to get. They discuss her divorce and her lack of relationships since that time. They each get a peck on the cheek, but Brad wants to take things slow and give her some time.
Back at the house, the girls turn their sites on Bettina, saying she just thinks it’s a competition, largely because they’re afraid she’s the biggest threat in the house.
The group date is Jenni, Hillary, DeAnna, and Kristy. They have a pool party. Kristy says she’s really not a pool person. She just sits around on the side. It’s surprising she made it this far. Hillary begins expressing her non-G-rated thoughts about Brad. Brad starts going crazy because he can’t kiss DeAnna since everybody’s watching, though he doesn’t have much trouble getting Jenni away from prying eyes to kiss her. Hillary gets pissed off about him going off with her.
Sheena gets the other one-on-one date. All the blondes being on different dates works well because I can tell who’s who now. Brad refuses to even give her a hint about what they’re doing on their date. It starts off with a wardrobe choice. It’s straight out of a fairy tale… until she trips walking down the stairs. I already saw this scene with Rachel Leigh Cook in She’s All That. The floor of the room where they’re eating dinner is covered with balloons. When they sit down, he gives her a pair of diamond earrings. She says she wants to kiss Brad but won’t make the first move. Brad seems mostly to have kept her around because of his brother, but now he’s happy that he did. As they’re chatting, an orchestra starts playing, and they kiss while dancing.
Sheena writes him a poem and reads it to him the next day, which impresses him. DeAnna says she’s extremely nervous because of the nature of the situation, but she loves feeling that way. Bettina tells him flat out she wants him to kiss her.
Bettina says Sheena’s date sounds so much more exciting than her boring date. Jenni decides that means she’s not here for the right reasons. Bettina says it was just a joke when Jenni brings it up the day after, though it did seem like Sheena’s date was a lot better.
Brad made it pretty clear at the pool that Hillary’s just a friend. She didn’t get the hint. So at the cocktail party, he again says she’s just a friend. She still doesn’t get it.

Hillary and Kristy have been eliminated, which is not exactly a surprise. Well, not to anyone other than Hillary anyway. She says she doesn’t want to cry, but the waterworks are followed by hyperventilating. She says she doesn’t understand how he said the things and has now cut her from the running. Oh yeah, Kristy got cut, too. Doesn’t she like get final words or something? Apparently not.
