Missed two weeks in a row, only 28 guys left

Last week, our Internet was broken, and the week before that, I didn't have the energy to check in. Now, I am fighting the pull of World Cup soccer from my family members, but I shall persevere.  Previews tell me that she's doing a good job of making out with lots of guys. The dude with long hair is still on the show, as well as the model who keeps reminding us that he's a model. She gives the model a pair of golden hot pants. Apparently, someone fell off a bunk bed last time. Why are they being forced to sleep like they're the boys in The Brady Bunch? 


Don't know what's happening now because there is a severe thunderstorm warning for some counties (not ours). We're right in the middle of a rose ceremony. She can't send home the guy with the beat up face. Instead, she gives him the rose that men with bruises get. She finds him to be so positive and upbeat after "the beating he took" from falling off a bed.  Number of times the word "journey" has been said in the first seven minutes: three. 

Rose ceremony is happening now. Becca says she does see a future here and is ready to go through the ups and downs and ride the waves. That's almost a surfing metaphor. 

First rose: Jason. He will always accept this rose. 
Second rose: I forgot. 
Third rose: guy in track suit. 
Fourth rose: Didn't catch his name
Fifth rose: Lincoln? Possibly Duncan.
Sixth rose: Blake. 
Seventh rose: Missed it. 
8, 9, and 10: Missed it. 
11th rose: Jordan the male model character
Final rose: Sean, he will accept this rose
Going home: Man bun.yoga teacher. I feel like he smells like patchouli. A guy with a flash haircut. That's it. 

They've all been shipped to a generic ski lodge in Sweden or Montana. Oh, Utah. Becca truly feels that her husband is in that group of guys. She has a one-on-one date with Eric or Garrett or Gary. She slightly slurs her words, so I don't know his name. The go into a shop to try of fuzzy hats and slippers. So stupid. Is it snowy or not snowy in Utah? Why do they never address the fact that the guys might not be into her? They're holding hands and walking down a town with almost no people in it. Gary/Carrot does remind her of home and her dad. 



Becca likes that Garret has a huge smile that lights up his facial muscles. They take a ski lift to another adventure which is bobsled. Instead of kissing, they do this really aggressive chest bump. I don't think he likes her that much. This show is illustrating its progressiveness by introducing two lesbian bobsledders. I do admit that bobsledding does look fun, but are they even steering it at all and how do you stop? Dan thinks she looks like Cher and that this guy is a good physical match for her.


Becca is shocked and saddened to learn that Carry has been married before for two weeks. It really scares her. He is about to say the word journey. He explains that he is there for the right reasons. She decides to keep him, even though he's taking up most of the sofa with his unnecessary manspread. Unbeknowsnt to us, they've been having this tete-a-tete right next to a crowd filled auditorium. Cue slightly famous country Western singer and they are forced to awkwardly dance together. Dan thinks Barry looks like a young Woody Harrelson. 


On the group date, the men are forced to try break wood. It feels dangerous. Now, they will throw axes and tumble pieces of wood. This is what I want in a man too. Not intelligence or compassion or a call to social justice. I want shirtless men with suspenders who can do stuff to logs. First, the log roll. It requires team work. I don't like this. The French guy would like to be "Becca's lumberjack to her lumberJill." He also believes the world is flat. This is like I just stumbled onto an episode of American Ninja Warriors. Is this for all the men who may be watching the show with their wives? And the winner is John. He gets the coveted golden axe and 15 minutes with Becca. 


She tries to get to know the guys, including this one with the slicked back hair. He has shiny ears and may be wearing lip gloss. He uses all these lines such as "Your smile lights up a room."  She finds him to be a very good kisser. Here comes the metro-sexual model who undresses to show her that he's wearing the golden underwear. The men went to set him straight and tell him not to continue with the antics. 

This one guy I like f-es it up by being too intense and saying he's falling for her when they haven't even had a one-on-one conversation. She is taken aback, and tries to walk him out. Is he asking for the perfume to e returned? He's not sure what to say. She doesn't know how to take it. He says that he was saying what he thought she wanted to hear. Somehow, there is a car parked out front waiting for him. They are dragging it out. I feel bad for him because this is a lot of pressure and he messed up. This is where the speech from the preview about disrespecting her. I only am asking for honesty from you guys. If anyone else can't be honest, then she doesn't want them to be here. She is foregoing the rose ceremony. As if this wasn't planned out. 

I haven't been watching, but now she is snowmobiling with a man who refers to her as girl he cares for deeply. 


I am having trouble uploading images. I do not care about this show. I want to like it more, but I am distracted.
