Bachelor: Season 16 Episode 3

...This episode begins with the girls traveling to San Francisco and Ben meeting up with his sister to dish.

The adorable Emily gets the first one on one date with Ben. Poor girl....the date is to climb to the top of the bay bridge. This is where i would say "Thanks Ben, it's been real, look me up on facebook if none of this works out"... you do not need to over come fears to make a non existent relationship (hello first date!) stronger...what happened to dinner and a movie? We hear Ben give her a nickname "Goose" doesn't he know Goose DIES! I'm basically hiding behind a blanket for this whole date. Then Ben decides to give her one of his magic kisses, and WAM her fear of heights is suddenly gone. And then Ben says, "if we can accomplish this together, there's nothing we can't accomplish" Ummm no, when you get into the real world, knowing how to climb up a bridge will probably have very little impact on how you resolve issue. But good luck with that. Her two biggest fears are heights and rejection (good digging abc) Ben offers her the rose and she accepts...and then the fireworks start...so cliche (but would be kind of amazing).

Group Date Leap Lists (basically a commercial selling a car)...so one of the items on Ben's Leap List is snow skiing in san francisco, with girls in bikinis naturally. Kasi B is adorable, she can't ski and she was really trying to; she even goes down backwards and looks good doing it, Ben noticed for sure! During the evening portion of the date, she is stressed out about all the other girls, so Ben takes her away to console her a.k.a kiss her. I think they are super cute! Blakely Boobs tells Ben that all the girls hate her, he tells her to try and make friends, haha. Rachel gets the rose...I'm still not sure who she is...

Brittany received the last date card, a key to the city. And she seemed shocked. Brittany realizes her hearts not in it, and she is going to go home. The hardest decision of her life,,,hmmm...so she crashes the group date to break the news to Ben. But poor Lindzi, she hasn't had a date yet and now she gets to go on the last one on one date! They have the perfect San Fran date taking a trolley around town, pretty jealous, and she looks fab. They end up at San Fran City Hall, it's empty except for Matt Nathanson singing just for them. NBD. Then they go to a super cool Speakeasy, where Ben learns about Lindzi's past relationships....and she gets the rose! And you think it's over, but wait. He has a key to a piano store, and they sit down and play a little David Grey (which might be the only song he knows how to play, because he played it on his guitar in episode 1)...cute overload nonetheless.

Rose Ceremony--The mystery girl, chats with Chris that she's coming and going to make Ben fall in love with her. Meanwhile the girls toast to a drama free night. Yeah like abc would let you have that! Jennifer the red head girl tells Ben she really really likes him, and he tells her that she is the best kisser...you go girl! I really like her!! Nicki is playing the Question game with Ben, totally adorable. Oh and for the record, i really really don't like the model girl Courtney now, i can't believe i thought differently last week. Eww but apparently Ben has strong feelings for her..of course he does.

The girl in the car is...SHAWNTEL from Brad's season. She walks in and all the girls freak out, it's great television people! She walks in and he is stunned! Ben and Shawntel had met, and talked before...and she had to know if there was still a chance because she didn't want to wait until after he fell in love with another girl. Great twist! However, he seems just as shocked as the other girls. She tries to get the girls to relate to her because she has a spark with him and she thinks there can be something, hmm sounds familiar aren't all of the other girls here for the same reason? Are they mad that she knows Chris, and has his number? Courtney is crazy she gave him a lecture before accepting her rose. This is the most intense rose ceremony ever, the girls are crying, freaking out, and yelling out loud. You girls are crazy! And then one goes down! I wonder if this gives Ben some time to change his mind? And then he doesn't hand out the final rose! Sending 2 girls and Shawntel home! All the girls were saying how mad they would be if he gave a rose to Shawntel are they happy now that he didn't choose anyone?? Poor Shawntel, i wouldn't have minded her staying around...but he said it wouldn't be fair. I vote for her to be the next bachelorette!

Courtney, Kaci B, Elise, Jamie, Jennifer, Casey S, Blakley Boobs, Monica, Nicki, Samantha are moving on to next week to Park City, Utah!

Side Bar: "We don't re-use Brad's dumpster trash" direct quotes from one of these girls. I hope this is true because i don't want to see Emily as the next bachelorette! ouch! (i know!)
