Weatherman Jonathan and the guy with the decent voice Jesse were the latest guys to be sent home in The Bachelorette Season 6 Episode 4. Even more interesting, creepy Kasey got a tattoo in order to prove his love for someone whose heart he’s wanted to protect from minute 1.
The next stop is Iceland, the green one. Good luck with that whole erupting volcano thing.
This time, they will compete for the one-on-one date. They will write a love poem to Ali and perform it in front of her. They’re dared to slide in an Icelandic word or two, thereby adding to the cheese factor. Ali thinks it takes a real man to recite poetry. Kasey mumbles his way through his. Home viewers are lucky enough to have subtitles. Chris N puts everybody to sleep, including himself. Kirk’s smart enough to know that he has to go up and touch Ali while reading the poem. If we’ve learned anything, it’s irrelevant what he actually says. She really doesn’t care about the poems. Frank fancies himself a writer, and he steals a page from Kirk’s book by approaching Ali during his performance.
The winner of this little competition is blatantly obvious. Ali selects Kirk. They go shopping for silly sweaters, walking out of the store with matching outfits. Yeah, a little weird. Kirk hasn’t dated anybody for more than a year, and he’s afraid to open up. They can talk about that later. Maybe. Later is now, dude. That night, he tells a story about how he got ill in college, but nobody could tell him what was wrong with him. I see where he’s going here. Asbestos (in addition to dozens of health code violations that made the place where he lived unlivable). Since he had to go through such an illness, he realizes what’s really important in life. After this story, she’s clearly going to forget the fact that he’s hiding something, and Kirk receives a rose.
Roberto, Chris L, Chris N, Craig, Ty, and Frank get the group date. They get to ride some horses (Icelandic horses that look like ponies), which Ty has some experience doing. Chris L is just hoping to not get himself kicked or thrown on the ground. Once they get off the horses, the plan is to descend into a cave. When they get into the cave, Chris takes this little bit of alone time to give Ali his gloves. Frank has decided to take a back seat on this date. Once they’re done freezing, they go to Blue Lagoon, a lake that’s supposed to have healing properties and hot water. Underneath her clothes, Ali just so happens to have a bikini on. Ty’s glad she noticed that he helped people out with the horses, which it would seem he did in order to get noticed. Since he’s pretty much a cowboy, this date was made for Ty, so it goes without saying he gets the rose.
That leaves Kasey and Justin with the two-on-one date. Maybe she’ll drop both of them. Before heading off on the date, Rated-R gets his cast cut off so that he can walk without crutches. Is this guy really even injured, or is this just part of his story line? Speaking of drama, Frank thinks that Kasey may be losing it. Kasey may be coming off as strange, but I’d say that strange beats being an ass like the wrestler. Justin’s hoping to hold his championship belt (aka Ali) up in the air when this date’s done.
They head up in a chopper to take a look at the erupting volcano. Then they land right on the volcano. Good luck with that. Their setting for the date is an ice cave, complete with ice furniture. Justin seems like a nice guy when he’s around Ali, and not one who refers to himself in the third person by his stage name. Ali wants Kasey to just do one thing today: be normal. This won’t end well. He unveils his tattoo. As the date draws to a close, Ali walks the two guys out into the middle of the frozen field. Justin receives the rose. Who Kasey is is so wonderful… just as long as it’s not around her. He doesn’t know where it went wrong. I’ll give you a hint. The tattoo. Ali and Justin take off in the helicopter, leaving Kasey to survive the glacier on his own.
Frank says that he’s learned his lesson from the group date. He intends to step up his game.
Craig displays his wrist to show off his fake tattoo. Now this is how you get attention without permanently scarring your body.
Chris N is pretty much on his way out. How did this guy make it this far?
Chris L doesn’t care where they live or what they do. He’ll collect garbage in San Francisco if she’s the one for him.

That was anticlimactic. It was clear that Chris N would be going home. Had he stuck around, he would have come out of his shell a little more, perhaps.
