Normally on our blog, we don't talk about ABC's The Bachelor because there are 95,000 other blogs that have already picked their favorite contestants, their most hated and blah blah blah blah OMG we're already starting to regret this.
But if we're being honest, this season has been somewhat entertaining because Juan Pablo, well, his language skills aren't so good. Communication between the Venezuelan bachelor and his fleet of girlfriends has been rough.
Last night, Juan Pablo picked the four girls who will take him home to meet their families. And guess what? We don't really care who wins. For us, it's all about "the journey" as so many Bachelor contestants have put it in seasons past.
So let's recap last night's episode with a few tweets and pictures.
Let's just say it, it took WAY too long for a fight to finally break out in the house. Last night, Clare and Nikki had it out, sort of, over Nikki leaving a conversation angrily which Clare thought was rude. None of it really made sense until Nikki said, "I don't like you, we're never going to be friends. You can just excuse yourself from my room." At which point the fight took a turn and the girls went back and forth with, "Your room? Did you pay for it?" and "No, do you sleep in here?" until Clare gave up, walked away and Nikki called her bat BLEEP crazy to her back.
The real loser of that confrontation was Nikki's roots. #Bachelor

They should do an entire episode of the Bachelor that's just Nikki and Clare sitting on couches refusing to talk.

Nothing says awkward silence better than the faint sounds of a truck backing up. #bachelor

Until Renee, the real life mom turned life coach to all the girls in the house, showed up.
Please tell me ABC sent Renee a check for her counseling services. #Bachelor
— Ashley Elgin (@BachelorExpert) February 18, 2014But before all of this drama went down, one contestant, a front runner until now, decided she couldn't take it anymore and dumped Juan Pablo before he had the chance to dump her. Up until this point, she just thought he was hot and that's about it.
Sharleen: "There are moments when I feel he may be the one for me. But then he removes his tongue from my mouth and I'm like, nah" #Bachelor

Sharleen whispered the entire breakup which was weird and also a little creepy. You know you're mic'ed right? WE CAN STILL HEAR YOU.
Me, during that whole conversation ... #Bachelor#TheBachelorpic.twitter.com/Ctv7xBoyHm

Sharleen, when breaking up with a guy who clearly doesn't have the best command of the English language, maybe don't whisper. #Bachelor
— Beth Shapouri (@BethShapouri) February 18, 2014Sharleen was probably the smartest and most accomplished of the contestants and we'll miss her? Meh.
And with Sharleen's departure, the collective IQ of the remaining participants drops by 50 points. #bachelor
— Iris Blasi (@IrisBlasi) February 18, 2014It appears that the most hated girl in the house is Nikki. Although Clare is making it a tight race. Nikki had a one on one date with Juan Pablo during which he took her to his daughter Camilla's dance recital.
The only thing wrong with Nikki's date is the part where Nikki is on it. #Bachelor
— Brooks Forester (@brooksforester) February 18, 2014She met his whole family including his ex-wife! In those shorts!
Nikki: "You taste like Cheetos." Camilla: "You taste like your shorts are way too short for a kid's dance recital." #TheBachelor#Bachelor
— Dave Quinn (@NineDaves) February 18, 2014When it comes down to it, this tweet pretty much sums up the entire Bachelor/Bachelorette franchise.
The bachelor is one big awkward moment.. #TheBachelor
— CollegeGirlProblems (@CollegeGal94) February 18, 2014Our four remaining contestants are Andi (the lawyer), Renee (the nice girl/mom who won't win), Nikki (the mean girl), and Clare (the crazy girl).
