Bachelor Recap: St. Croix

We're down to 6, Hallelujah!  Can't wait to see what Tierrable has in store for us this evening.

St Croix is boss.  Officially not boring.

The girls arrive at the Buccaneer hotel and realize they'll have to share rooms/bed.  Tierra doesn't want to share a room with girls who like her boyfriend, so she rolls out a cot so she can focus on Sean.  I think she's on the losing end of this deal, personally.

Date card time, Tierra is shooting daggers.  AshLee gets the date to 'get carried away' and makes some cheesy references about being physically and emotionally carried away...barf.

Tierra calls her a cougar when she walks away, I guess 32 is the new 52??  Apparently you should have a husband, house and 2.5 kids by 32.  Does this girl even work?

Sean is wearing this coral button down and black and white prison striped swim trunks.  What?  He brings up the blindfolding incident again and I'm uncomfortable.  She has such a pure heart.  If she doesn't get chosen I worry for her.

The girls are having a Tierra bash...and that leads us to AshLee spilling the Tierrable beans on her date with Sean.  If you're constantly having to take a drama meter on this 1 girl shouldn't that tell you something??  I think it's weird he asks the other girls for their opinions.  You do realize they're all dating you right?

Tierra finally gets a one on one, and she's complaining about what the date is.  She doesn't like people, bugs, or her makeup dripping off.  She wants to go boating or something.

Dinner time with Ash and Sean.  Sean asks about any skeletons in the closet...Ash has some deep dark secret apparently.  She got married at 17... Cause she was mad at mom and dad.  She feels like she was Debbie downer on the date.  He reassures her and then they stand up and yell to no one on their wicker chairs on the beach in the matching purple, Barney-colored shirts.  It was lame.

Now on to Tierra the Terrible.  The one plus to this date is she loves shopping and actually said he bought her the most incredible things someone could buy on a first date...someone should raise their expectations.  Soap and a Rastafarian necklace aren't on my top 2 for first date gifts.  Isn't this duty free paradise?  Where's the Yurman store??

And now a random mardi gras-ish parade with locals.  She's footloose and fancy free and Sean finds himself once again sucked in to her devilish charm.  However, he does bring up the recent drama and asks her how that's going.  She gets visibly annoyed that Sean's asking her about her relationships with the other girls.  Everything she does she says they do to her, I.e. ignoring, isolating.  She picks up on the fact that there's a bug in his ear and is determined to squash it.  Lookout.

Lesley's name is not on the group date card so she gets the last one on one.

Dinner time.  The vibe's off.  Tierra's not feeling the 'closeness'.  He says the drama with the women in the house put them a step behind.  She's not going to let the other girls bring her down, so she decides to take it up a notch and says she's falling in love with him.  Yuck

Group date.  Rise and shine at 4:42 am.  Is Lindsay naked?  I'm worried.  They're watching the sunset on one side of the island and then driving to the other side of the island for sunset.  Sean loves road trips, not surprised he takes after dear old dad.  For as big of a guy as he is, he should wear manlier tennis shoes.  And for as many drinks as they're having at each spot, this could be DUI material.

Des seems to be the date hog and tensions are rising.  She's not sharing shotgun and the other girls don't like it.  And then Sean has them all pose for a group photo.  I hope that's a camera promo cause that was so awkward.

Sean and Lindsay reminisce about the fateful wedding dress night and how far they have come.

Catherine opens up about her daddy issues and why he won't be there if she gets a home town.  Im distracted by Sean's gross skinned up knee and dire need of sunscreen.  Back to the serious moment, Sean thinks Cath might be a little intimidated by his great relationship with his dad/parents. Not everyone is jealous of your parents Sean, just sayin'.

Ash and Lesley are having a Tierra bash while she's strategically sitting nearby.  Ash says she doesn't think Tierra has the guts to confront her, and we see the dent in T's forehead pulsing.  It's about to go down.  Just night right now...but that pot's about to boil.

Is Des's home town going to be in a tent?  I sure hope so.  She talks about how important her family is and how she can't wait for him to meet them.  Then she gets super emo.  There are tears...emotions are running hot.  She probably thinks she's got the rose in the bag...

Rose goes to Lindsay.  "The crazy girl that showed up in a wedding gown now has a home town rose."  Couldn't have said this better myself.  Date plan fail, Sean doesn't know where he west is for the sunset.  Oh well, he's having such a great time with 3 women competing for his attention.

Lesley date.  He wants to get away and talk, none of that fancy stuff.  He's not sure if they can get ahead in their relationship because he feels they're behind.  Lesley is in love.  Uh oh, he looks so bored.  She needs to get her roots done.  He asks if there's anything he needs to know, and she looks like she's seen a ghost, awkward pauses and then she randomly says lets go pick some fruit??  I think this girl is dating challenged.  She won't make eye contact and Sean is getting over the coy act and is ready for her confidence to spill over to their relationship.  You're probably so uncomfortable because this is forced...their date seemed oddly short compared to the others

Shay, Sean's sister is there to give some advice.  She says the girls need to be tough cookies and they'll get over it if they get sent home.  Wow, no mercy.  Tierra is the only one he's questioning openly to sis.

Back at the crib, Tierra and AshLee are having it out.  T starts it, and says she doesn't hang out with the other girls because she doesn't do high school conversation.  She talks about her age like that equals maturity.  Ash calls it like she sees it and says she has bad character.  Then T says the girls are just jealous because men love her.  Yikes.  Then she starts throwing ghetto hand signs and says she can be confident and humble at the same time.  I think she trying to convince herself more than anyone else.   She peaces out, but then can't stand that everyone might be talking about her and she's not there.  Confrontation Round 2.

This is getting ridiculous.  Now we're in to not being able to control our faces and expressions/eyebrows, parents...this might be my favorite line: "Tierra you have a sparkle, don't let those other girls take your sparkle away."  Apparently these are the comforting things parents tell their children out in this world.  This.is.so.sad.

Sean wants to go grab Tierra in the middle of tierranado...Sean's trying to get her to go meet his sister and he gets sucked in to the drama.  She tries to throw Ash under the bus.  Didn't she just say she doesn't need to sabotage others to get the top?  He decides to take a breather.  Sissy Shay told him to stay away from the girl who can't get along with the other girls.  She totally crumbles when he says he wants her to meet his sister, what?  That was opportunity for her to get it together...but no.

Sean sees an opportunity and says I'm crazy about you, have been from day one.  And since I care so much about you I think it's best if you go home now.  Such a backwards way of dumping a girl, but whatever.  Buh bye!  I guess her fight is gone because she doesn't even fight to stay.

She freaks out and ugly cries in the cab.  Wahhhh I can't believe he did this to me...uhh pretty sure you did this to yourself.  I can't wait for the women tell all.  I hope she still has that special sparkle.

The ladies are all sitting waiting for the cocktail party and wondering what happened to Sparkle.  Sean shows up in a classic suit and no pencil tie, thanks to wardrobe tonight for not making him look like a leashed dog.

He explains that he sent Tierra home and that from here on out he has a zero tolerance for drama.  Be warned ladies. He also drops the bomb that there's no need for a cocktail party he's made his choice.  He walks out and takes all of the air with him.

Lesley thinks this is the kiss of death for AshLee.  Ash doesn't think she's drama at all she's just a mama bear based off her upbringing and need to protect him.  I think that's a reach given he's dating multiple women at the same time.

Lindsay's sitting pretty with a rose.  The remaining 3 go to: Desiree, Catherine, AshLee

Poor Lesley with cartoon puppy eyes.  AshLee thinks this seals the marriage vows, easy sister.  On the bright side, Lesley could totally go to a Mexican fiesta in that dress.  There were no words between him and Lesley.  Such an awkward goodbye and could tell there was no love loss there.  Catherine has an all out meltdown cause she thought he and Lesley were already monogramming his and her towels since they have so much in common.  She has no idea what he wants and is looking for...I guess she thinks she's next out the door?  So confused, how is this earth shattering??  I think it's safe to say he's not looking for a woman with a manly voice trying to be one of the guys...

I can't wait for Sean to meet the Sarge, Dez's overly agressive brother, and Cath's crazy sisters...this should be good.

Can I just say that for once I feel like there are 4 solid choices? I mean they all have their bit of crazy, but still.  Who's your favorite?
