edited to fix Melissa's name

first date or two (it seemed like all the good parts were already in last week's preview) but I thought after that it really picked up again.

I think that it was a little hard to guage these women working outside when they were clearly dressed to go out. Can you imagine if you were on the Bachelorette and you are in some nice slacks and a dress shirt and she says oh, btw, you are shoveling coal and hay. Kinda hard to work and not worrying about messing up your clothes. No one looked dressed to work. A little more of a clue would have helped.

These producers CLEARLY don't have a problem mocking the girls (Dayana, Heidi),

That is what I like about this show. They don't sugar coat it. There is no way to make this type of a show classy.

I also liked Allison. She looked like a girl I went to college with who was pretty hot as well. I think he made good choices. I am glad he chose Zora. I still think Melissa (smile girl) is going to win it. Her confessionals seem to be a little reflective, like a post show interview type situation.

Mojo I didn't like. I am glad that he saw through Heidi. I would have been upset if she would have moved on.

Also, what was up with the girl host? I forgot her name. I like the butler better. Plus he has done the most interaction w/the girls. She serves no role. I hope they take her out.

edited to add: I am also impressed w/Evan. He seems to have really gotten into this and is doing good job w/this. He seems like a genuine sincere guy who knows what he wants and what he is looking for. I am glad that he is looking for looks and personality.

It is funny that next week Mandy says something to the affect of him being able to keep good secrets. that is sooo funny!
