Courtney is the worst

Staying in the Central American theme, this week's episode is hosted by the Belizean Travel Board. We fly north from Panama for four hot dates. Well, three kind of interesting dates and one snooze-fest with Courtney and her immobile upper lip.

The first date is with Lindzi and all her cuteness. The lovebirds are picked up in a (surprise!) helicopter and flown out--while snuggling--to a beautiful reef into which they jump and swim. They jumped into the water from the helicopter which was...10 feet off the water. So exciting! Later, they share a nice dinner. But first, they approach their lone romantic setting for two on a dock. As they approach, Lindzi asks, "Is this us?" No, Lindzi, the only perfectly coifed dinner setting on a dock in the middle of nowhere is actually someone else's table. Your table will be ready in 30 minutes. After dinner, they write a love story, put it in a bottle, and set it to sail in the vast sea off Belize. And by that, I mean, it sinks to the bottom and we're done.

The next date is with Emily. It's her big chance to redeem herself, and she totally does. They have chemistry, they play basketball and the catch lobsters. Later, at dinner, they eat said lobsters during which she apologizes for being weird about Courtney, and they are back to normal. Emily is legitimately cool, I think, and she's fun. She's also too smart to be on this show.

The next date goes to the worst human being alive, Ms. Courtney. She is seriously awful. First off, she's not pretty enough to be a model. Second, she is has no original thoughts whatsoever. Third, whatever she says is awful and stupid. Apparently she's also an "actress," and we now know that she has no future in acting. Courtney and Ben share a lovely (as in, boring) day in the Mayan ruins and the rainforest. She tells  Ben that she wouldn't have accepted a rose this week if she hadn't gotten a one-on-one. Normally, this would make a guy second-guess his "connection" with her. And also her character. But Ben? No. He backpedals and basically apologizes to her for...um...nothing. He is a stupid idiot and just wants to have sex with a model more than once. He's a child. Later, they climb metaphorical (and literal) steps to leave behind their drama with each step. Barf. At the top of the ruin, Courtney and Ben prove to the world that they have NO CHEMISTRY WHATSOEVER. Ben says things like "Oh my dad" as opposed to "Oh my god," (cue the cringe) and they talk about why they like each other. Um...no reason, in case you were wondering. It's like the battle of the upper lips, and no one wins. Courtney then decides to open up to Ben about how "vanilla" the other girls are, and how "bored by them" she is. Again, Courtney is the worst. For a second, we think that Ben is over it. But then he fails to redeem himself by pretending to like her again. Ugh...hopeless.

The group date is next, and Kacie, Nicki, and Rachel join Ben in Shark Alley where they swim with sharks and stuff. Nicki is busty, they all tell Ben they're falling for him, and it's blah. Kacie gets the rose (as devil Courtney watches from afar). Later, they all warn him about Courtney being the worst.

At the cocktail party...oh wait...Ben cancels it because he's already made up his mind. But has he? As the girls line up to receive their destiny, Ben asks to speak with Courtney's upper lip. He questions her intentions, and she somehow convinces him that she's there for the right reasons. Ben is literally the dumbest. I mean, he's not as dumb as Brad Womack, but he's just blinded by her beauty(?). Or maybe it's the fact she she boned him in the the ocean a week ago?

Roses go to:
1) Kacie
2) Nicki (cue collective surprise!)
3) Lindzi
4) Courtney

Bye: Emily and Rachel. Frankly, we're sad to see both of them go. Especially since devil Courtney is still here. WORST!

Awards:
1) No Chemistry Award: Ben. He has no chemistry with anyone.
2) Frontrunner: Kacie? Even though we're scared it's Courtney?
3) Worst: Courtney

Until next week,
Mike

courtney is "convincing" and the show should check her out closer as i think she is hiding so much stuff. makes good drama and higher ratings. ben is a guy taken in by the open legs and come on talk she does. sad to see the other more sincere women go home. it is really fustrating that Ben blows off the other women and their words of "caution" with more than one woman saying things to him about the real courtney u would think he would want to investigate it more himself. that many people cant be wrong but it makes really good drama and higher ratings on Monday nites. guess we will have to wait and see if ben "sees the light" or makes a realy A-- out of himself.

OK, so we all know Little miss mouth should have gone home weeks ago. Does anyone "really" know why she is still around? I sure wish I knew what happened to Ben's brain between the last Bacheloret show and this show. Maybe he spent too much time in the sun, too much home made wine? I don't know, maybe it's the haircut, who knows. All I know for sure is he is NOT the same sweet Ben we all fell in love with on the last show. I mean come on Ben, it's not like you need to pick someone out of desperation, you still have some GREAT girls there that would make you a VERY happy man. (Kasey B.)
