I apologize, Bachelor fans, if re-reading that nauseating quote from Jake made you throw up in your mouth a little bit — I know I almost hurled typing it. But look, it’s in keeping with the weird combination of sublimated passion, saccharine exclamations of “I’m falling for you/him/her,” and open hostility that we witnessed in tonight’s episode. While I’ll try to keep this a spoiler-free zone (check back for my full TV Watch recap later tonight, and don’t miss Chris Harrison’s exclusive behind-the-scenes blog on PopWatch), I have to say it wasn’t too difficult to figure out which “lady” would get a ride in the Reject Limo tonight. So how did you feel about Jake’s adventures in San Francisco? Are you pleased with the final four? And do you think Jake’s amazement over Chinatown — ”It’s amazing… you feel like you’re in a foreign country!” — means he really, really should try and get out more? Crank up the instrumental version of On the Wings of Love and sound off below!

I want to know which producer came up with the line “It’s not about sex appeal, this is about heart appeal.” I think there’s no way Jake came up with that line himself and the producers made him say it during his confessional time with the camera.
So have they already started filming The Bachelorette: Tenley edition yet? She’s such a nice and normal young lady, I wonder whe signed up for The Bachelor in the first place.
That’s exactly the type of cheesy line you’d expect from our boy Jake.
I wish it would be the Tenley edition, but we’re going to get stuck with the leader of the mean girls, Ali. ugh
I hope Tenley wins, she deserves a good man!
I like Tenley – very cute/nice/sweet; but could she tone down the “I just inhaled helium” voice??
Becca – I totally agree with your assessment of Tenley’s voice – lower it an octave or so. She’s cute and seems very nice – although, I’m not sure he’s truly comfortable with someone who’s already been married and divorced. Just a feeling I get.
Tenley kind of reminds me of that redhead from Wedding Crashers Vince got with. And far too bubbly.
Fell asleep just before the rose ceremony. So mad!! Who is on & who is off
Corrie for the next Bachelorette!
Ali and Tenley as those best poised to make the finale. The single mother should be asked to return in the next season’s Bachelorette. It’s time the show took a different direction.
My predictions: (a) Jillian comes back next week, tells Jake that she and Ed broke up, so “he still has a chance” (sound familiar?); Jake so upset he “can’t give out a rose.” (2) Following week, all four Bachelorettes have chance at the Fantasy Suite; despite what goes on there, Vienna and Gia do not get roses. (3) It’s down to Tenley (wife material) and Alli (buddy material). Tenley wins, Alli is next Bachelorette.
you’re wrong – obviously you don’t read Reality Steve and the press that’s picked up on it – Vienna wins. Sorry to burst your bubble.
Can’t wait to see if you and Reality Steve are right!
@It – you are absolutely NOT sorry to burst anyone’s bubble. You certainly didn’t have to post a spoiler directly to someone who clearly hasn’t heard it yet. I am so SICK of hearing about Reality effin’ Steve! People, most everyone knows they can go read Reality Steve if they want spoilers, so mention that if you must, but let them decide to go read it themselves and DON”T POST THE SPOILERS HERE.
Oh–and I agree with Jordan River. Ella (single mom)as next Bachelorette–or maybe Corrie (virgin!).
I like Tenley but I swear she is Katie Morgan’s sister, sometimes she talks just like her :-0
I just was googling Gia because my bf by far thinks she’s the best (go figure) but on my google search I ran across history on Vienna being a topless model in the past!
I think Tenley would be a great Bachelorette if she is not chosen. She’s absolutely gorgeous!
Ok – decision for Jake this week which was lame. Go for Slut (Vienna) or good girl (Corrie). Evidently, we know what he likes. Vienna looks like sausage and acts like a spoiled moron.
Corrie would be a good choice-for a secretly gay man! You wouldn’t have to put out before the wedding and on your honeymoon, she wouldn’t know what to expect. Perfect!
What was with the Asian musician tucked away in the alley during Tenly and Jake’s date? So staged.
my stupid dvr stopped recording at 9:00 – who didn’t get a rose?????
Corrie
