A Blue Bentley and Bad Rapping- The Bachelorette Episode 2 Recap

Via ABC
Ah, yet another episode starting with the bachelorette, in this case- Desiree,  going on and on and on about how she’s ready to take the next step, meet the love of her life, is ready for her fairytale ending, blah blah blah. What’s new? But as it’s only the second episode in, Desiree is still optimistic and believes in the process. Bless her heart.
Brooks was chosen as her first one-on-one date. Desiree sweeps him away to a- wait for it… BRIDAL SALON, where Desiree tries on wedding gowns and Brooks tries on tuxedos.  This whole part of their date creeped me out... like hello? That’s bad luck and severely premature.  I get that they were doing it for “fun” but why not go to a theme park or do literally anything else?  They finish the date hanging out on the Hollywood sign and candlelit dinner on a bridge, exclusive to them. Totallyyyy realistic. Not…  All in all, Brooks is total friend zone material.  Next.

Next was the group date, where they did a rap music video with…. Soulja Boy. Wait, who is he? That’s the question I asked myself until I vaguely remembered that extremely annoying “Crank That” song that made him famous. Anywho, it seemed like they all had a genuinely fun time and got to let loose with Desiree but if this group date taught us anything it’s that none of this season’s contestants are future rap stars. 
The second one-on-one date this week was with Bryden, the Iraq war veteran and a favorite from the premiere. Desiree introduces him to the California type of life with a picnic on the beach & drinks at a local restaurant.  Bryden opens up about a severe car accident he had (Is it mandatory to have a life changing experience to be able to be a contestant on these shows??!?!) and how recovering from it inspired him to join the military.  They finish out their date in a hot tub where Desiree says, “Kiss me already!” Awkward.
Another part of the show allowed us to see the tension in the house with Ben vs. the other guys.  In my opinion, I think Ben is fine and absolutely precious.  There is a rumor circulating that he is a bad seed, but he’s innocent until proven otherwise…right? Those other dudes are just jealous because Ben is suave, charming and strategic. (CAN I GET AN AMEN?!)  I mean I may be biased due to my huge attraction and sure, I might eat these words of praise towards Ben later in the season, but for right now: I’M IN LOVE.

Will, Robert and Nick M. are sent packing at the conclusion of the Rose Ceremony.  All in all, it was a typical Bachelorette episode filled with boy drama, boy tears and boy egos.  It’s my Monday night guilty pleasure but I think: myself as the Bachelorette + 20 Vineyard Vine models = much more successful show… Let’s get on that, ABC.
See y'all next week!
