Bachelorette 12 - Episode 5

Here is the ABC Press Release for episode 5:


Jojo and the Bachelors Move on With Their Pursuit of Love, on ABC’s ‘The Bachelorette,’ Monday, June 20

                JOJO AND THE BACHELORS MOVE ON WITH THEIR PURSUIT OF LOVE,
 EVEN AS CHAD REAPPEARS TO CONFRONT THE MEN, ON ‘THE BACHELORETTE,’
MONDAY, JUNE 20, ON ABC
 
Punta Del Este, Uruguay, Is the Backdrop for the Group’s First International Foray Into Romance


 “Episode 1205” – Just as the remaining 13 men are celebrating Chad’s departure after the dreaded two-on-one date, the bachelor that viewers love to hate, makes a surprise return to the house for another combative confrontation. When the dust settles after the rose ceremony, two more men are sent home while the others prepare for their first international adventure to the exciting South American city of Punta Del Este, Uruguay. JoJo’s one-on-one date with one of the charming bachelors involves a yacht and pods of adorable seals, but the man must end up defending himself against unflattering gossip. JoJo is also the target of tabloid reports that she is on the show for the “wrong reasons” and must argue her case to the men, but will they believe her? Finally, there’s a heart-stopping one-on-one date – for more than one reason. However, JoJo interjects more drama into the week by cancelling the cocktail party, on “The Bachelorette,” MONDAY, JUNE 20 (8:00-10:01 p.m. EDT), on the ABC Television Network.

Chad may have finally left, but the competition between the guys who already have roses and those who don’t ramps up. Two unfortunate men do not make it through the rose ceremony. For the remaining 11 bachelors, it’s on to Uruguay. One attractive guy boards a luxury yacht with JoJo and the two get to dive into choppy waters with hundreds of delightful seals. Unfortunately, the lovely day is spoiled, as JoJo must confront the man about rumors she has heard about his past girlfriends. Can she trust this guy?

However, JoJo must tackle her own slur in the media, as she reads a shocking story calling into question her character. Is she able to convince the men that the accusations are wrong and that she really is here for love, or does this doom some of her relationships?

The next day, JoJo meets nine excited bachelors on the sand dunes of Uruguay for a fun day of sand surfing. But the exhilarating outing is cut short by a torrential rainstorm. One glum guy complains to JoJo about his growing feelings of jealousy. How does that affect his future prospects with his potential soul mate?

One of the love-struck men and JoJo dive into the local culture on their one-on-one date; however, the bachelor makes a heart-pounding suggestion for what they should do next. Will the Bachelorette follow his recommendation? And what happens later when the man makes a stunning confession?

No cocktail hour this week means no more alone time with JoJo before the rose ceremony. The decisions get tougher and weigh heavier on her, but three men leave with one distraught bachelor in tears. JoJo is moving closer to finding the love of her life as the group readies to move on to the vibrant, cosmopolitan capitol of Argentina: Buenos Aires.

Alex, 26, a U.S. Marine from Oceanside, CA

Chad, 28, a luxury real estate agent from Tulsa, OK

I wish Evan would leave too, because I've found him creepy since day one.

Why are they  constantly showing that bear ? As if it was just a bird, a goat or a butterfly...Lol... A loose random bear in the woods would have sent Jojo, all the men and the whole ABC crew running for  their  life screaming their lungs out

That bear certainly gets around, I just saw him on Animal Planet.

Let the drama begin...

Well, it looks to be an interesting season.

Chad made a quick and uneventful exit.  Hoping to see his true personality on
Jimmy Kimmel tonight.

I hope you post how it went.

How many different pronunciations of "Uruguay" could these contestants come up with in this episode?

Fake story line.  The producers must think the fans of this show are morons if they think we believe this.  It has never been more evident than tonight.  Chad was fake.  Showing the guys a magazine article about JoJo  really fake.  It must be pretty boring for them to resort to that garbage.

Does this season seem to be going faster than most?

I think the storyline was harmless since there isn't much else going on.

Chad was in good spirits, peebeeb.  He told Jimmy Kimmel that the show "amplified" all his reactions, and it was not easy being the main topic of discussion for the other men.  Also confirmed that he is dating Robby's ex-girlfriend.

Did he make excuses, because he was over the top a lot of the time... but I still wonder how much was a put on by the producers.

Still found him to be a jackass, but who knows what the real truth is.

Spoiler Alert (sort of): scroll down if you want to. I don't know if it's possible to hide things on here so people can click if they want to. Sorry.

Spoiler-ish Alert!:

After all, going by the season previews at the end of the show I would have to assume that she doesn't choose anyone; or settles for her 2nd choice. She sure seems messed up at what appears to be the end.

Way too much whining.

It seems that upon Chad's ousting, the role of hero has gone to Alex's head.  He acts as if he believes it makes him numero uno on her list.

Derek is not the first guy over the course of this show who's said he felt the connection slipping.  Alex and Chase were out of line in trying to shame him, and I'm disappointed they're both still there.  Lose Chad and gain another "mouth." 

So, I guess we now have a gaggle of jealous guys, huh?  This season is all about jealousy and egos.  They were only good while they had a common enemy.  Now, they're looking for a new guy to slam.  Little boys on the playground.  "Teacher likes you best."  Frankly, I haven't found one to latch onto as a favorite.  I find Jordan somewhat disingenuous, someone who has practice at seduction.  And he appears to think his smile demands forgiveness for anything he says.

Robby?  Nice, but nah.  Chase, a bit too much on the bully-train with Alex.  I really like James, but in the friend-zone.

Luke.  Something is holding me back with Luke.  I think it's a sense of dark brooding about him.  Could be the aftermath of war, but I'm not yet comfortable about him.

I like Wells, but don't think he's enough of a macho type to win a show like this.

As for the In Touch article:  Did anyone else find JoJo's tears and appeal to the guys to be a little fake?  Isn't Uruguay Spanish-speaking?  Are there enough ex-pats for a salon to provide American tabloids written in English?

Judging on something as small as the color of the suit sleeve, I'm gonna take a leaping guess and say it's Jordan she rejects at the FRC.

I agree with you, singly.  All of the guys have issues in my eyes.  Alex is a trouble causer.  He might have Napoleon complex.  Jordan makes my skin crawl.  He seems sneaky and untruthful, and I don't even think he is that good looking. Luke looked and seemed old last night.  And then there are the hairdos.  omg

I like Wells the best out of the all the guys...there is something super sexy about him as well. He will probably be gone next week though. 

Other than him, I really don't like any of the remaining dudes. As others have pointed out, they all seem to have issues. I liked Alex but he is getting really whiny and annoying...Luke and the football dude are the best looking but both just seem like players. Nothing too exciting about any of the men left...which is probably why they had to resort to the ridiculously fake magazine drama. At least I taped the show so I could fast forward.

The only parts of last night's episode I like was the sand surfing and the scene where the football dude just grabbed her and started kissing her against the wall. The surfing looked super fun and that kiss was hot...other than that...meh

I guess what I don't like about some of these guys is that they seem totally self absorbed.  They think they are winners and never want to lose or be out of control.  Any women in a relationship will have to be very strong and secure, other wise she will feel invisible and not heard.  Jordan, Alex and even Luke, to some degree, need to be the center of attention.  Jordan even said this about himself but thinks he has changed.  I doubt that.

I didn't buy anything that Jordan said last night - a leopard doesn't change it's spots.  To me Jordan and acts like he is auditioning for a part in a movie.  I don't think he is all that good looking either - he has his moments I guess but he is not my cup of tea.
