I would have never gone in for a kiss right now if everybody else hasn't already kissed you and I feel like if I didn't then I'm not gonna get a rose.
I want to dedicate this post to all the dumb -- can i just say it? -- douchebags like David who have absolutely NO idea who they are OR what women want, need, or think. I know of course that there are other people out there who need our help much more than these poor pathetic losers, but surely someone has an extra million lying around to dedicate to educating these poor misinformed gentleman?
Then again....I think we can agree that David's 3 minutes with Jillian tonight was some of the worst (and funniest) "moves" any one drunken idiot has attempted to lay on a woman ever captured on film? Alright, maybe that's some Bachelorette-style exaggeration, but still, it was a privileged to witness. He actually thought that she was playing hard to get!! He made a comment about her "tits hanging out" -- and then went in for a kiss!!! Oh, it was priceless. And this guy is all about a "man code?" What about a code of decency, dude? What about respect? You know, if it wasn't so gosh darned hilarious, I might actually be offended by the guy.
Hey, maybe I can catch a ride home with David?
So in the stunner of the evening, Juan got the boot along with Douchebag Dave. Somehow, crazy foot-loving Tanner just keeps hanging on! I think someone made a comment about producer intervention when it comes to this guy, and it's starting to seem like that to me too. They must be hoping he's gonna start sucking on her toes and they smell ratings gold....Because I just don't see ANY chemistry between those two. And we all know that the guy who rats out the other guys usually gets sent home! But I guess Jillian's suspicions of Juan just weren't sitting right with her and the accusations were too much to handle. And Wes has got her completely fooled. I can't wait till he gets exposed for the slick womanizing liar he really is.
Shy is alright, but it helps to be hot.
What's amazing about a show like this is it really shows you how attraction totally screws up our brains. Take the two-on-one date for example. Jillian really wasn't super attracted to Mike, that was obvious, so she could very clearly see that all his big talk was just that - talk. BUT - if she was really into him, he might have come off like the greatest guy ever with all that pretty-sounding bullshit he was spouting. Of course, it's also true that when you have natural chemistry with someone, you don't have to work so hard....so maybe that's why Mike came off like such a forced fake? But see - this is why I really loved Mark. (Although, he's pretty damn cute...so maybe MY brain isn't to be trusted on this!) But I really appreciated that he was just himself: which happened to be a slightly shy, soft-spoken guy with a dry sense of humor. He didn't TRY to be the guy he thought she'd like - he was just himself and let that be enough. And it was. I was SO happy and proud of Jillian for really getting him - and seeing through Mike's song and dance.
Look!! My eyes perfectly match my shirt!!
Lastly, a note to Jake - if people close to you keep telling you you're "too perfect," this is not a sign that everyone else is an idiot. This is a sign that that you have more work to do on yourself. I know it's hard to see the logic in that. But people are not perfect - they can't be. In fact, if you seem like you're perfect, you eventually freak other people out, because they know that you must be burying your shit really deep. And if the shit has to be buried down that deep, then it must be some really BAD shit. Now I'm not saying that's this is what is actually happening with you, only that it's partly the reason women are eventually repelled by you. You've gotta dig deeper man - flaws are what make us beautiful and real and who we are. Otherwise, we'd be freakin' mannequins.
That's all for now....Really looking forward to next week when the very cute, funny and charming Michael finally gets some one-on-one time!
Till then, write me.

Laura dear, why are you so harsh on Mike? He just responded to Gillian's declarations on how "she is there to find the person that she'll spend the rest of her life with", and how "she came here to put herself on the line and be vulnerable". The best answer to those statements is exactly what Mike did, and he was open and natural; hear the tone of his voice and watch his body language, especially after he got rejected. I really didn't sense anything fake or forced from his presence there. Practically Gillian forced him to talk prematurely about those things, just to conclude in the end that "she doesn't go for the cliché thing that all the girls think they want in a husband". So, she asks Mike cliché things, and then she sends him home because he answered honestly on them? She was weird!
OK, let's blame it on the fact that Gillian was extremely attracted to Mark. Mark who? Ah, the guy who was thinking to buy a dog and move to Alaska and forget about the relationship world, the guy who talks bad about his past long distance(!) relationship. Mark, whose speech is quite poor. See for example: "it was never confirmed, but I'm pretty sure I got cheated on", or "she was like, love conquers all, I'm gonna be an idiot", or "it's more me and, like, my internal self being like: you've been there before".
It was also interesting that Gillian asked Mark some very "difficult" questions, like: "do you think you can find the person you're meant to be with, here?", or "so you believe in it [love]?". Why didn't she say anything about "the rest of her life" stuff???
My conclusion: Gillian sent home Mike the rock solid committable sincere man, just to keep Mark, the charming uncertain unclear-spoken "guarded" dude. After this, if she sends Ed home then that's it - the producers can simply rename her show to "Bachelorette Forever" :)
