A very belated Bachelor recap: Krystal Klear

I really try to write blog posts every day. Really, I do. But hell if this baby thing takes up the majority of my time (and I'm thrilled about that!). Regardless, here is an abbreviated recap from Monday's Bachelor. And god help me when Bachelor: Winter Games comes out, I will have to write ANOTHER one. Stop the madness.

We're in Fort Lauderdale (spring break 97!), and the girls are amazed by all the water. Seriously? It's the beach, ladies. Of course there's water. Sheesh.

Chelsea gets the first one-on-one date, and proves she's not just a single mom - she's also kind of slutty!- by straddling Arie on his jetski and having a makeout sesh. Over dinner she ters up talking about her ex/baby daddy, who left her with nothing. Arie likes a good rags to riches tale. And she gets the rose.

The group date goes bowling, and I'm sorry to say this happened:


Arie divides the girls into two teams (with the winning team getting extra time with him), and embarrassing team cheers ensue. Much to everyone's dismay, Krystal's team wins. And then much to Krystal's dismay, Arie invites the losing team to hang out later as well. Krystal's joker smile starts to fade and her fake façade starts to crack. Apparently she freaked out on the bus, calling Arie a liar and saying he broke the rules. So she decides not to attend the after-party to show how hurt she is. Arie  doesn't even notice she's gone until someone says something, and should have just left Krazy Krystal alone, but producers told him to he decides to go up and check on her. They have an intense convo and I'm hoping she is dunzo. The date rose goes to Lauren for asking a few of the 100 questions she brought along. (eye roll emoji)

Tia gets the last one-on-one date, and it's definitely in her wheelhouse: redneck. They head into the everglades and look at gators until they eat dinner at some backwoods guy's (beautiful) home, smack dab in the middle of the swamp. (Cue Kermit) I am happy to learn that Tia is actually a doctor in the "big city" of Little Rock, and her job could work anywhere (even Scottsdale, hint hint)...She takes a leap and tells him she's falling in love with him. This seems very soon to me, but whatever. He gives he the rose and they proceed to make out next to a Live Bait sign, which I found quite amusing.

At the rose ceremony, Krystal once again takes center stage and explains that she freaked out because the date reminded her of her childhood - her mom WORKED at a bowling alley. What is with these girls and their weirdo traumatic pasts that are all coincidentally triggered by group dates?? (Well played, ABC) Arie tells her she knows him best (has been to his hometown and met his parents), and she should be more understanding and cool. Sure, sure. Unfortunately she DOES get a rose and vows to kick up the drama next week. Oy.
