Mouth Open or Closed?

I must admit, the highlight of last night's Bachelor was undoubtedly Jamie's bid to seduce Ben. Worse than the inept transition onto Ben's lap, was the mortifying-to-watch kissing instructions. A desperate last chance at making an impression, and a woman who was fully aware how horribly wrong her plan turned out.

Ben's date with Kacie B. went as expected. I still have no doubt she will be standing at the end. The group date this week included Courtney, which also went as expected: Courtney aggressively trying to turn it into a one-on-one. Even as Jamie talked alone with Ben, she struggled to keep his attention after Courtney inserted herself into the background (swimming alone in the pool).

Also during the group date, Emily offered up an apology to Courtney. Even while admitting she was wrong about Courtney, Emily was given nothing more than a 'we will never be friends' response.

Rachel and Blakeley were sent on the cringe-worthy two-on-one date, meaning one of them would be sent home on the date. While Blakeley went into the date with super-human confidence, she did not receive the rose- sending her home immediately.

The final shocker of the evening (which turned out to be much less severe than it led up to be), was when Chris came to visit Casey S. He reveals that 3 people in the United States have informed him that she has a boyfriend or is at least still in love with him. After she explains herself to Ben, he tells her she should go home.

With Blakeley, Casey S, and Jamie gone this week, the remaining ladies are headed to Belize. Let's look forward to some Courtney controversy!
