Welcome to the Ab Show

This week's episode finally gave us some much-needed ab time. Lots of hot bods and shirtless scenes were exactly what I needed to heat up my already-steamy apartment (it was 97 in NY yesterday). This episode has three dates: a one-on-one, a two-on-one, and a group date.

In order to win the one-on-one, the boys must write and perform an original song for DeAnna, which, clearly, is embarrassing for all. Ultimately, Jesse wins.

On his one-on-one date, DeAnna surprises him with a private serenade in an empty theatre. Jesse wears formal attire, and looks pretty damn good. Natasha Beddingfield soon joins the happy couple as she sings to them while they dance. He's totally into her, she's semi-into him.

The group date finds Brian, Twilley, Sean, Graham, Jason and Jeremy together at the race track where they race for DeAnna's heart by racing stock cars. I love how this is the guy's version of the fashion show on the bachelor. The boys aim for the top speed so they can spend some quality time with DeAnna. Sean, the former mulleted red neck wins. He sucks. Graham then gets some time with DeAnna. Okay, first things first. DeAnna wants this guy. Badly. The sexual tension is practically visible. DeAnna literally asks for a kiss from Graham. And he DENIES her by saying, "I don't want to be one of the bunch." Girlfriend is pissed, and the chemistry basically ends there. She calls him out since he's not putting himself out there, and she's totally right. Graham has proven that he is the "do" choice in my favorite game, "Do, Dump or Marry." You spend a wild night with the man, but you don't spend your life with him. Child ain't ready for commitment. Oh, but that body!

Next, the boys at the bunkhouse throw a BBQ for DeAnna and the boys at the Mansion. It all goes South very quickly. The boys are ignoring DeAnna because it's awkward when they're all vying for her affection. Robert slinks away to the house, Graham is aloof, and Brian wears a shirt that says "Home Wrecker." Really? Was that the best choice? Not sure...

Anyway, DeAnna calls the boys out on their juvenile behavior, and leaves in tears. Amazing. The only redeeming factor of this special time is that the boys are shirtless.

The last date finds Robert and Fred on a two-on-one with DeAnna in the Hollywood Hills. She looks amazing in her white jeans and gold sweater, and the boys try to impress her with their romantic prowess. Robert sucks. He proposes a kiss to DeAnna and she gives him her cheek ("the dodge" as she called it). Amazing. But, oddly, he thinks they have this amazing connection? Um...not so much. I mean, if by "connection," you mean you're in the same room, then fine. Fred proves that he's a great guy, and she's totally going to choose him. But NO!! She sends them both home! So sad, but so real. First, she sends Robert away and we're over it. He's also drunk and fake crying. She was honest in saying she didn't have a connection with Fred, and she cries as he drives away.

At the rose ceremony, DeAnna chooses:
1) Jesse
2) Sean
3) Jason
4) Jeremy
5) Twilley
6) Graham

Bye-bye: Robert, Fred, Brian.

Awards:
1) The "everyguy": Fred. Good guy, we love him. Just lose the accent.
2) Cutest: Jason.
3) Surprise of the night: Twilley staying and Brian going home.
4) Rockin' Hot Bod: Graham. Just stop shaving your chest and we'll have a deal.

Until next week,

Mike

Great update Mike; thanks! Did you catch when Robert was talking with Deanna (after the failed kiss attempt) that he was running his hand up and down the unbuttoned part of his shirt???? Talk about a Freudian slip huh?? GROSS! I wonder if the connection Robert felt was to the big payoff at the end of the show; or the potential free tang if he made it as far as fantasy suite night????
