Three more guys we hardly knew were sent packing in The Bachelorette Season 6 Episode 3. First, Hunter got dismissed following his abbreviated individual date after Ali spent most of their time with Justin instead. Then, Steve and the last remaining John were eliminated.
Everybody will be packing their bags so that they can travel around the world. Chris makes it sound as if going around the world would be a waste of time if not for the dating. The first destination is New York City.
Ali gets a makeover from InStyle so that she can be in the July issue.
Kasey gets the first individual date. They get picked up by a helicopter and taken to a place for a picnic. It’s here that Kasey decides to start singing. No chance of him releasing a country music album with this decidedly weird song. After the sun sets, they go to the Museum of Natural History and get the place all to themselves. Ali is looking forward to him being real and perhaps not so cheesy. It seems that Kasey has already decided that he’s ready to get married to Ali. He will know she’s ready for him when she’s willing to guard and protect his heart, which he promised to do for her on night one. This is all just quite creepy, and to Ali it sounds like he’s reading from some script. Oh, like she’s not. Kasey will not be receiving a rose… but she doesn’t want him to leave either. What’s the point?
The group date is for Roberto, Jesse, Craig, Kirk, Jonathan, Frank, and Ty. They’ll have to find her in the concrete jungle. They’re going to experience The Lion King, seemingly underdressed having expected the word play to mean sports. They will be competing for a chance to see Ali tonight after they find out who belongs in the theater. Roberto seems to be the only guy with somewhat acceptable moves. After they go through choreography, it’s time to sing. Jonathan thinks he can sing a little better than he can dance. Both are equally bad. Following some more train wreck singers, Jesse turns out to have a good voice. Roberto’s the only one smart enough to look Ali in the eyes when singing, which seems to impress her more than someone who actually has a good voice. This is also enough to impress the guy playing the piano and wins Roberto the date.
But they won’t be so much on a date as in a play together. Yeah, let her spend more time with the guy she just had a one on one date instead of some of these guys she barely knows. They end up not fully clothed with lots of touching, and for all the time spent auditioning, they just float around on wires with no singing, dancing, or lines. As for the other guys, they’re fortunate enough to be able to be tortured and sit there and watch.
Ali’s not feeling well, so she comes up with a brilliant idea. Go outside in a rainstorm with Frank. Craig gets a little time to chat with Ali. Weatherman goes over and interrupts, but he doesn’t want to be completely rude (go ahead, dude), so he lets them finish their conversation. Once he sees that Craig and Ali are done talking, Kirk dashes Jonathan’s hopes of getting any time alone, as he brings Ali to the side and tells her he wants to put her to bed, whatever that means. No rose will be given out tonight.
The second individual date goes to birthday boy Chris L. Chris N and Justin are dateless for the week. However, with Ali still feeling sickly, they will not be going out for a day on the town. Rather, they will be spending the day in her suite. He shows up with flowers and chicken soup. After they spend some time together, she’s feeling better. I guess chicken soup really is a miracle cure. Chris protests because he doesn’t want her to get sicker, but she’s up for some of their originally planned date. They go out for oysters and lobster. His story about his mom is that there was a huge rainbow at her funeral, and wherever he goes rainbows now follow him. Then they call and speak to the father. It goes without saying that Chris receives the rose. Took long enough for one of those to be handed out this week. When they’re done with dinner, they go listen to Joshua Radin, who apparently is a singer with a hit single that peaked at #82 in 2008.
All the other guys are wondering where Kasey is. In order to prove he’s genuine and has a huge heart, he’s going to a tattoo parlour. The place where everybody shows their love. His wrist is covered when he gets back, which he claims is due to a burn. Justin goes on record to say he’s a fibber.
Jonathan breaks out his guitar. Because we haven’t seen enough guys doing that yet. Anybody else got a musical instrument with them? Hopefully the next guy does something original. Does somebody play the harp?
We find out that Kasey’s tattoo is a shield protecting a heart with a rose. Really? Like I said. Creepy. He reveals it to the guys. Justin’s happy to be right, saying that Rated-R called it, because all guys who are being real have an alterego. After that, Kasey gives Ali her favorite candy because that makes him feel better when he’s sick. Now that’s a nice gesture. Why not stop there rather than getting yourself scarred for life? Ali likes that he did something cute like that, and not anything over the top. Wait for it… but then Frank barges in before he can reveal what he’s done.
