ABC The Bachelor Episode 3: Quick Hits and Hot Takes

This article is brought to you by – https://keeonsports.com/sponsors/

The Pool Party

A bikini party was off to a hot start, before Sydney decided to tell Joey about Maria’s tendency to bully.  It only takes one bad apple to spoil a great pool party.  I think the drama robbed some others from time with him and wasn’t needed.  Sydney made something out of nothing.  Clearly, neither Sydney or Maria have any chance to win, as he doesn’t want drama, and when you look at the history of the show, the drama queens NEVER win.  One will go far, just to keep ratings up however.

 

The Talent Show

The first group date took us to a talent show were some of our favorites from The Golden Bachelor arrived too judge.  The winner of the rose was Kelsey who walked away the winner because she really put herself out there and had fun.  In these early episodes, that is the best approach you can have.  Look good, have fun and stay off the radar.

 

Michael Bolton and KFC

Is it just me, or is anyone else in the mood to pop on some Michael Bolton and chow down on some KFC?  Okay, moving on….

 

The solo date goes well for Jenn

He has chosen the prettiest two on the show, for his first two solo dates, and this week it was Jenn following an incredible date with Daisy last week.  Like Daisy, she did well to show some vulnerability.  I don’t think he cares for the “broken home” scenario that popped up on their date, but he didn’t show much emotion either way.  Jenn got the rose to move on, but I’m not sure where they go from there.  The beach scene seemed a bit staged quote honestly.

 

Tennis anyone?

This is so lame; I hate when they take what the guy does for a living and turn it into a date.  I thought the costumes and names like “Hotdog and Bun” were fun, but honestly, could have done without it. Katelyn got the rose, as he keeps picking the best-looking women on the show to advance, such as her, Jenn, Daisy and Kelsey thus far.  I mean, it’s early on, so I cannot blame him.  Going for looks always works out, well, actually it doesn’t.  But it’s good for ratings at least!

 

In the end

He kept both Sydney and Maria around for ratings sake. But I assure you, I wouldn’t expect either one to get all the way to hometowns.

Evalin, Chrisa and Starr went home.

Next week there are two episodes, how the Hell am I supposed to get anything done?
