After last week, I think Chris Harrison might finally be right in stating that this is the "most dramatic season of The Bachelor...yet."
I watched in disbelief as Clare and Juan went into camera confessionals with lots of innuendos about what they did while in the ocean. This bachelor just spent the early part of the episode talking about how he didn't want to disrespect his daughter or the women by kissing a lot of them, and then he goes and does this? Hypocrisy at its best.
To be quite honest, I was disgusted with JP, irritated by Clare and feeling like I didn't want to keep watching. If it wasn't for the fun game of Bachelor Fantasy that my girlfriends and I are playing, I would probably have tuned out.

Before this week's episode, the remaining ladies on my team were: Cassandra, Kat and Sharleen.
Girls I've said goodbye to: Alli and Lucy.
When Lucy was still in the running, I was a little mad at myself for not making "getting naked" a points category. As much as that girl walked around without tops or bottoms, I would've been leading the game early on. And with Sharleen...
well... I sure wish we awarded points for awkwardness. From her kisses to her comments, her dates and solo moments with Juan Pablo seem to be the most cringeworthy. (I mean, the girl uses the words 'organic' and 'inorganic' more
than any other person in the world.) But thanks to Juan's fascination with her, I have accumulated a significant amount of points per episode.

Still disgusted with Juan's actions from last week, I was not looking forward to this episode, but I had to watch for the sake of the game.
Here are the top 4 things that made me angry this week, in case you were wondering:
1. Clare. Yes, just Clare. In general. Everything about her. She's 32 years old, but she whines and complains like a teenager. I feel like if he chooses her, he'll be welcoming another child instead of a partner.
2. Juan Pablo when he talks.
At first I think he uptalks like a valley girl, then I get the impression he's cooing at these women like they're children. Either way, he's always whispering and I swear I can barely understand a thing he says. I guess it's even, because the way he looks at them when they talk, I get the impression he understands nothing.

3. Their group date ended in Hobbiton.
THEY GOT TO HANG OUT IN A HOBBIT HOLE! Color me green with envy!
That was probably the coolest event the producers have arranged for a group date in all 18 seasons. The only bachelorette who seemed to appreciate where they were was Sharleen, with the comment, "I'm totally geeking out right now!" Geek on, girl.
4. The way he sent Cassandra home.
Dude, it was her birthday! Even the producers knew, because A) the girls talked about it and B) they altered her age to 22 when they showed her identification banner at the bottom of the screen. At first I thought he was taking her outside for a special birthday moment, but as soon as they sat down, I knew what was was coming. Way to be a cad, Juan, and ruin her 22nd birthday by not only breaking her heart and crushing her dreams, but by not even wishing her a happy birthday. You're the worst, Juan Pablo.

Most seasons I root for certain pairings, but this season, I find myself rooting for certain girls to go home and become the next Bachelorette because I think they're too good for him. At the top of the list? Renee. Followed by the kind and sweet Cassandra who can do so much better for her and Trey.
This week we said goodbye to Kat and Cassandra, and my Fantasy team is down to Sharleen. Joy.
