Dammit this show made me cry – but not until the end and only for one guy. But we’ll get to that.
The day starts with Ms. Remy girl talking with her sis and BFF and reading the “Morning Tea” which is basically the itinerary for the day. Does it really require this level of formality? 🙄🙄🙄 But today the guys will be playing cricket! And how many of them are familiar with cricket? One – the guy from England. Seriously not one other guy even had an inkling of what cricket is? Even I’ve watched a little of it at some point in my life.
This is the intel from the cricket match – Mr. Castronova (yep, I’m starting to learn their names 😁) is focused on limiting Mr. Kim’s time with the lady of the house because Mr. Kim has been in the bottom for the first two eliminations and Mr. Castronova figures keeping them apart will get Mr. Kim eliminated. To that end he interrupts them while Ms. Remy is in the middle of a story 😮! Asshole move my friend. I mean if you’re going to interrupt, interrupt the guy not the lady 🤦♀️. And while it’s a competition for the hand of the fair maiden (ok, I just threw up on my mouth a little after typing that) it’s about showing why you should stay, not trying to make someone look bad. That kind of s🤬🤬t tends to boomerang back.
Mr. Saffa on the other hand thought it was appropriate to use his time to hit on Ms. Remy’s BFF 🤯! Did he think it would go unnoticed or that she wouldn’t say anything to her friend? And then later tells the other guys that he thought he connected with the BFF. I mean come on; how dumb do you have to be? Last week I had wondered if he was getting the “dummy” edit. I no longer wonder 😜. You’ll have to keep reading to learn his fate…
Mr. Chapman is more focused on the game and basically ignores Ms. Remy when she comes to talk to him 😬. However, Mr. King (the gentleman who lost two family members right before coming on the show) offered his arm and quickly escorted her away – love that move 💜! At the end the “game ball” is awarded to Mr. Chambray Mumbray – The Englishman, of course. But it does not guarantee him a solo date (dun dun duh…). I thought it should 🤷🏼♀️.
That honor goes to Mr. Holland. They go on a horseback ride and have a lovely time at the picnic. The only comment I have about this date is they made poor Ms. Remy ride SIDE SADDLE! It’s hard enough to ride in a normal saddle and you’re going to make this poor girl ride side saddle?!? Oof – I really felt for her. But she did a good job. At least Mr. Holland is a teacher so at least he’s not an actor trying to get exposure (looking at you Mr. Saffa…) and they really seemed to like each other.
And now onto the Farewell Ball where five will be chosen to dance and two will be sent home 😱. The five chosen suitors are Mr. King (aww 😢), Mr. Saffa (no surprise there 😜), Mr. Castronovo (told you that shit boomerangs 😬, Mr. Shanklin (no feeling either way about him) and Mr. Chapman (who I don’t find particularly handsome and a little too jock-ish).
The first dance is for Mr. Saffa and Ms. Remy doesn’t even try to dance with him – just sends him packing with a “your chariot awaits you”. And just when you think this guy couldn’t be any dumber, he actually tries to get the BFF’s number on his way out 😳! I almost fell off the couch in utter disbelief (well and from laughing so hard 😆). Ms. Remy: “You don’t need to talk to her.” She wasn’t ever interested in him. What a tool 🛠! The second person eliminated was Mr. King 😮 – NOOOOOOO! I actually liked him and he has a lot more going for him that Mr. Chapman. But I think she did him a kindness as he was most likely still grieving. But he was crying and she was crying and I was crying – damn this show. But he exited with such grace, he won my heart, which is not easy with these shows.
And then the twist, two new suitors 😱! And a too be continued….
That’s my take for the week. Except to add that the host’s humor kills me and he is still 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.
Note: I’m including the link to the cast page in case you want to put faces to names 😊. Seriously check out the host Rick Edwards. Next week’s episode will also be later in the week due to the fact it isn’t being shown until late Wednesday night, so it’ll be out either Thursday of Friday. It’s also been moved to the USA Channel. I’m recording it so I didn’t notice 🤷🏼♀️. We’ll see if it survives until the bitter end.
