Back at my hotel, I just wanted to spend more time getting to know Britt. She'd mentioned to me a few weeks prior that her perfect date would be taking a nap, so I made that happen. I didn't know she'd go and tell all the girls about it. I know, I should have known. The girls always talk! Also, I want to reiterate the fact that I don't get to see or hear what happens when I'm not around until it's on television. Watching the girls talk about Britt while we were on our date, as well as about how she said she didn't want kids any time soon and loved being single, was the first I'd heard of that. She seemed sincere when she was telling me about her desire for marriage and kids. All I can say is stay tuned ….

I was really surprised when Kelsey knocked on my door while I was getting ready for the cocktail party.

I appreciated that she came to see me and opened up to me, but, watching it now, I don't understand why she would brag about how good her "story" is. To me, her story is heartbreaking and sad, and I felt really bad for her. I didn't necessarily feel like it was the right time to kiss her, but it just kind of happened.

Later that night, I couldn't shake the heavy feeling I had weighing on my heart. The more I thought about Kelsey's story, the more I realized how precious time was. I knew that I had already made my decisions about who would be going home, and I didn't want to waste anyone's time. I just couldn't look into their eyes and pretend that I still hadn't made up my mind. I had to take a couple minutes to myself to decide how to move forward. Chris Harrison, of course, came to check on me. I always appreciate that guy's advice. Little did I know the night would get a whole lot crazier. Kelsey Kelsey Kelsey, oh my.

Did I go check on her? And did she really have a panic attack or was she just faking it? And who will end up on the most dramatic two-on-one date in Bachelor history? Tune in next week to find out!

<center></center>Sharleen Joynt on The Bachelor: Episode 5:
This season sure is bringing the drama. Where do they find these girls?? Fine, I know where. But seriously: Jordan, driving five hours for the chance to be embarrassed on one more episode? Britt and her alleged habit of not bathing? (If it’s true I’ll buy whatever dry shampoo she’s using.) Ashley, now that the topic of her virginity has been exhausted, crying again for God knows what reason? The show is rapidly becoming a parody of its already parody-esque self.

The major pot-stirrer this week was clearly Kelsey.

On Night One, I called Kelsey “particularly normal” which now makes me seriously question my reality-show-contestant character judgment. I literally had goosebumps when, of her husband dying suddenly of congestive heart failure in 2013, she said, “Isn’t my story amazing? It’s tragic. But amazing. I love my story.” I’ve since spent a solid while trying to analyze this commentary, theorizing the flow of conversation between her and her producer during that ITM. As I’ve stressed before, The Bachelor producers can’t make a contestant say anything. They can manipulate you, coax you, earn your trust so you let your guard down, or loosen you up with alcohol. But they cannot make you say something you don’t want to say.
The fact that those exact words came out of Kelsey’s mouth is very disturbing to me. Was she gamely playing villain to ensure she got screen time? It seems so. She wouldn’t be the first. But I’ve never understood the desire for D-list fame being so strong that you’d lose who you are at the core. I can’t help but wonder what life is like after you’ve said on national television that your becoming a widow makes an “amazing” story. What do you say to your family? Your coworkers? I’m sure she would have an explanation of sorts, something behind the scenes, some additional context to make it make sense. After last night’s episode, Kelsey tweeted: “Sander’s death was absolutely devastating, but finding a way to live through it and my strength to survive is amazing.” Make of that what you will.

My frontrunners this week…

1. Whitney, 29: Who wasn’t rooting for Whitney in her spat with Ashley this week? Ashley thought it best to make returning contestant Jordan feel as unwelcome as possible while Whitney displayed grace and kindness. I love that Whitney has been completely conflict-free all season, yet this worthy battle with Ashley was the one she chose. The cherry on top was Whitney being given the group date rose, because Chris was “excited about their potential.” I guess Ashley does have to worry about “that” after all.

2. Kaitlyn, 29: Normally gregarious Kaitlyn was more the silent observer this week, which means she’s as smart as I thought. Other girls were able to develop their relationships with Chris while Kaitlyn sat back, secure in what she and Chris share. Like Whitney, Kaitlyn is mature and realistic. She stays.

3. Britt, 27: I think everyone (herself included) was surprised it took until Week 5 for Britt to get a one-on-one. It went swimmingly enough, but I’m past the point of no return with Britt. The girl is articulate yet fails to describe any real connection with Chris other than that “he makes her feel safe.” That’s fine—it’s only been a few weeks, after all—but she’s so over-the-top into him and affectionate when she’s with him, it just doesn’t add up. I’m not buying it. I think Britt is and has been gunning for The Bachelorette, something I realize is unavoidable but still not respectable. The actual Bachelorette should be someone who is undeniably magnetic and real, not someone who said and did everything she thought would get her far. Sadly, Chris is firmly under her spell, so I guess her act is working.

4. Carly, 29: Carly was this episode’s saving grace. She’s sharp, witty, and relatable. Her ITM commentaries hit home without ever seeming mean. I do like Carly and Chris together—their extreme (and understandable) discomfort during their one-on-one was endearing—but I am still more convinced by his chemistry with some of the other ladies. Regardless, Carly is BEYOND worthy of love!

Иногда рядом с Уитни, которая не только говорит мультяшным голосом, но иногда и ведёт себя по-мультяшному, Крис сам начинает казаться мультяшным.

Бритт на следующую "Холостячку"? Только не это! Лучше бы её сразу в "Once Upon a Time" играть какую-нибудь новую ведьму...

barish

Прикольные реакции, Макс, мне очень понравились! :rolf:
Свидание с Карли было самым немормальным за все сезоны, думаю, как вообще до такого додумались!!! первое свидание y людей! :rolleyes:
Но в этом сезоне мне постоянно бросается в глаза как они это все делают! Карли боялась интимности - ей это свидание организовали, Бритт боится высоты - ей с высотой! Ну это и раньше было понятно, что так делают, но тут я четко это увидела. И, наверное, держат определенных девушк до определенных свиданий. Вот Карли, вроде, не для чего больше было держать. А с Бритт наоборот, долго не было свидания, но тоже потом стало понятно почему, оно было запланировано позже!

Это да, но признался парень, что потерял контроль! Уж больно давно он хотел свидания с ней!
А вообще бедные девушки, как же им тяжело!
Хотя я и не понимаю зачем там некоторые, кроме как поведать о своих историях! :rolleyes:

Пытаюсь найти на форуме ABC объяснение, что произошло с Келси в конце эпизода. Мнения разделились: одни говорят, что паническая атака, другие, что симуляция.

barish

Еще думаю про Карли, ну возник у них контакт. Но какие надежды то??? Понятно, что после стольких стараний на свидании не мог он ее отправить домой и Шарлин права, Карли одна из тех девушек, которых интересно слушать, она толково говорит, в отличии от многих там. Мне очень понравилась та часть свидания, где они разговаривали, было интересно. И было видно, что у них возник контакт. Но Карли очень жаль. После того как он дал ей почувствовать, что и она может нравиться, ее ждyт сплошные разочарования.
Про Криса с самого начала было понятно, что он считал себя недостойным. Когда он сказал это о Кейтлин, что эта такая замечательная девушка тут делает? А про Бритт он так не подумал? Мне так очень четко видно, что она притворяется! Или у них еще будет этот разговор позже?
Мне в этом сезоне не хватает интересных разговоров, только по поцелуям отслеживать контакты уже надоело! Пoхоже, уже только целованные остались? Нет, Саманта нецелована, она точно идет домой! Очень красивая девушка!

Нам потому и не показали продолжения, чтобы мы гадали. Но она очень четко сказала, что старалась сделать все, чтобы остаться. Для чего? Для того, чтобы продолжать рассказывать свою историю? Так вроде уже все рассказала! Да, это был последний шаг для того, чтобы остаться. Где то опубликовали начало следующего выпуска, где она просит эту женщину, оказывающую ей помощь, позвать Криса. Это нужно только для одного, чтобы он ее пожалел и оставил, что думаю, и произойдет. На предыдущие видео не было реакций, не знаю видно их или нет, когда это от АВС, подозреваю, что нет, а потому и это не постила.
Но сколько агрессивных девушек в этом сезоне, готовых на все! :angry:

У меня не показывало, сообщало, что видео не предназначено для моей страны.

Да, она очень мультяшная, а к нему присмотрюсь с ней...

Шарлин пока запаздывает с последним эпизодом в своем блоге, поэтому пока посмотрим что там будет дальше...
“Episode 1906”
KELSEY’S PANIC ATTACK CAUSES A FIRESTORM OF CONTROVERSY
All hell breaks loose when Kelsey faints after a panic attack and the paramedics are called in to help. Chris cancels the cocktail party, but will Kelsey’s breakdown influence his decisions? Is she faking it?

Finally, nine women remain with the hope of becoming Chris’ wife. So, it is on to Deadwood, South Dakota for a taste of the Wild West.
After the rose ceremony, nine women are left to accompany Chris to Deadwood, still hoping to be “the one.” When they arrive, one low-key bachelorette finds out that she will be the lucky woman going on a one-on-one date.
