THE BACHELORETTE RECAP
Bentley’s Real Agenda; Masked Men and Who’s the Next Bachelor!

By Delaina Dixon | May 31, 2011 | Entertainment

Oh Mike Fleiss! You asked so much of us with last night’s Bachelorette broadcast.

Seriously, I don’t want to even give credence to Bentley who’s basically telling us over and over that he’s playing Ashley Herbert for fool. Worse yet, Ashley already knows this, and she’s keeping him around? Why cry about it Ashley when you knew that Bentley wasn’t there to love you? I can only assume he’s prepping for his future reality star career as the boy-we-love-to-hate on the next season of Bachelor Pad, because I certainly can’t see how being a total pinhead will help his business career. Hopefully, Ashley’s feelings for him are all a ruse on her part. WeΓÇÖll actually learn she turns the tables and makes him beg her to keep him around.

So onto the three things I did get out of last night’s broadcast:

1. Men in masks areΓÇª creepy. Unless you’re Zorro, or Maxwell Caulfield in Grease 2, wearing a mask to woo a girl isn’t sexy at allΓÇöit’s just plain weird. And now that Jeff has told us he suffered a brain hemorrhage, we’re all wondering if that’s affected his facial features. If that’s the case, kudos for the show giving a guy who’s less than perfect the chance to find love. But seriously, would any woman really stay with a guy who wears a mask all the time? We think not, so it’s hard to swallow that Ashley’s actually interested (especially when she sent hottie Ryan M. home!).

2. West will be the next Bachelor. West’s recount of his wife Sarah’s passing has touched the hearts of million of women who would like to see him love again. He’s learned to appreciate every moment life has to offer, and his real-life loss seems to have made him a bit more mature than some of the other guys on the show this season. Plus, that dark hair, blue eye combo is very easy on the eyes.

3. J.P. needs to get kicked off the show. That’s right. We want that hot, shaved head construction manager to come back to New York City where he belongs so we get our shot to date him. Your 12-year streak of failed dates in the Big Apple would end with us JP, real quick!

FYIΓÇª We all know that poor Tim McCormack had a little too much to drink on at the first rose ceremony last week, and got shipped home from the show. But the liquor distributor from New York has gotten back on the wagon, just in time to tell us the best drink for the summer season. “I would go with a nice Mojito. They cool you down and are very refreshing,” he suggests, adding, “Keep it to one or two. DonΓÇÖt have more than that because youΓÇÖve seen firsthand what can happen.” Advice well taken!
