Three more guys were sent home in The Bachelorette Season 6 Episode 2: Chris H (not Harrison), the remaining Tyler, and “dangerous” Craig M.
The first date is an individual date, which goes to Roberto. They’re going by helicopter, another excuse for the producers to get Ali to jump in someone’s lap. They land on a building. That building is not the one they’re having dinner on, however. Instead, they will have to climb across the wires to get there. Like this isn’t the most manufactured drama ever. When they get half way across, Roberto decides that would be the appropriate place for a first kiss, and she really doesn’t have a choice because him holding her is the difference between her staying up there or falling. Roberto’s first language is Spanish, and he’s traveled to various countries learning a little bit of a couple other languages. After dinner, they cuddle, although I don’t know what base he ended up getting to. After that, he gets a rose.
Kirk, John, Chris N, Frank, Jonathan, Craig, Justin, Jesse, and Chris L get the group date. They drive to the middle of nowhere, where they come upon some Bare Naked Ladies, who will be shooting a music video with them. Unsurprisingly, most of these scripts say kiss. First up is Frank getting slapped, repeatedly. Now that’s entertainment. John C gets to do a bathtub scene. Too bad he hops in and she hops right out, then on to scene three. Jonathan will be getting his first kiss with Ali. This falls apart quickly. After Ali feels sorry for him when he breaks down crying, though, she makes sure to give him a good kiss. Eventually, they move on to the bedroom. Kirk and Ali seem to have forgotten they’re filming a music video. The director yelling cut twice isn’t stopping them. You’d think Ali would be conscious that there are 8 other guys around, but she doesn’t really seem to care.
Once they’re done shooting the video, they go to a wrap party. This is the first time Chris L has been able to spend alone with her outside the house, which gives him the opportunity to talk about his mom having passed away. Jonathan wants to talk about the train wreck of the scene they had. The weatherman may not have the chance to get his first real kiss with Ali, but Kirk jumps right into it, in full view of everyone again. Frank breaks them up by diving in the water. The other guys join in, but Justin’s stuck watching. It goes without saying that Kirk is the one who gets the rose.
One of the guys foolishly mentions that Ali’s right down the road. That gives Justin a plan. He’s going to hobble down the road and visit her. Don’t get hit by a car, dude. Ali is shocked. Good shocked, not creepy stalker shocked (though she does call him a little crazy, which she likes). He brings some photos with him and talks about his parents’ divorce. When he’s talking to the boys later that day, Justin says he’d give up everything for a family, and we seem to be getting genuine emotion from him, although there is a question whether this is natural or just part of his wrestling character.
The final date of the night is an individual date for Hunter. Kasey, Steve, and Ty end up dateless. Hunter’s going to have to wait for a while because Justin’s stealing his time. Jerk thing to do on both Ali’s and Justin’s parts. The plan for the evening is to go back to Ali’s house. No distractions, just staying home. Hunter realizes he’s more of a slow paced guy, but they don’t have a lot of time to kill here. Even if he does manage to salvage this date, being slow doesn’t work with this process because of its ridiculous nature. After a couple hours, Ali decides she does not believe there’s a romantic connection there, so Hunter will not be receiving a rose.
Chris L continues to bond with Ali over their Massachusetts connection.
Having not had a scheduled date for this week, Steve has decided to set up a picnic at the house. His opening act is to get the champagne open without injuring anybody.
Ty’s talking about Justin behind his back. When he turns around, he realizes that he was actually just talking about him in front of his face. After this conversation, Roberto wants to discuss his Justin problem. He knows Justin went over to her house, right? Well, he does now.
There goes Justin’s plan to keep this all a secret. As if he’s not having enough trouble with these guys already.
