The Bachelorette Episode 5: Emily's Race to Love


We are off to London for Episode 5 and the men are down to 10. Some would even say it's The Final Countdown.


But let's take a closer look at the ten gathered at Trafalgar Square.



Mrs. Dugan looks at the Ten and says it is still very easy to pick guys that will not win. She looks at the pic and declares the only realistic shots belong to Indy Arie, Sean, and Bobblehead. Do you agree? Let us hear from you in the comments.

Emily's "Prisoner of Love" 

Sean's date card reads, "Love takes no prisoners." Dugan thinks..."hmmm, they're going to the Tower of London." But Sean hears the date card and says, "I have no idea what that means." And...point Dugan.

Before they get to what Emily calls "London Tower," Emily and Sean take in the sights including Westminster Abbey, St. Paul’s Cathedral and Buckingham Palace.

Back at the House

Indy Arie, SLC Jef, Kalon Hilfiger are talking about the group date v. one-on-one dynamic and Kalon - while twisting his mustache in dastardly fashion - explains that the rest of your life is a group date due to Ricki always having to be around, you know, being Emily's daughter and all.

Well, then. It's official. Kalon Hilfiger has become Snidely Whiplash. The transformation is complete.




Back to Sean's date and cliches about dating in prison. I have to give Emily a lot of credit. She has not - AT ALL - hid the fact that she wants kids, lots of them, and quickly. Sean says he would prefer two kids but would accept up to ten. He's going far in this competition.

A Play by any other Actors is a much better Play

Bobblehead, Indy Arie, Uncle Rico, Father Doug, Ollie Handro, Egg Man, Wolf, and Kalon "Snidely Whiplash" Hilfiger get to embarrass themselves reciting lines from Romeo & Juliet at the Bard's birthplace, Stratford-upon-Avon.
  • Egg Man brings the enthusiasm.
  • Kalon Hilfiger continues to pad his Bachelor Pad villain resume. You've done enough.
  • For his own safety, I hope Indy Arie is a better race car driver. Palindrome. Boom.
  • Ollie, Wolf, Rico and Kalon achieve Romeo status.
  • Father Doug and Indy Arie play female parts. 
  • Egg Man and Bobblehead get to sword fight.
  • Egg Man has become a clown only there for comic relief. 

After Party at the Cox Yard

The what?!? 8 guys walk into a bar called the Cox Yard. Mrs. Dugan points out that Emily's milkshake brought all the boys to the yard. OK, I chuckled. But I love bad jokes. Let's get back to Cox Yard. Seriously. Was Dick's Inn not available? OK, I'll move on. Meanwhile, back at the Cox Yard...
  • Arie gets a kiss.
  • Rico gives jewelry and gets a hug. Touche, Arie.
  • Kalon Hilfiger seals his fate with this gem regarding his enthusiasm of talking with Emily: “I’ll get a chance to talk to an exhausted sick mother who has a child waiting on her..."
    • WELCOME TO BACHELOR PAD 3 Kalon!
  • That wasn't enough so he describes Emily's daughter as “Baggage”


  • Father Doug tattles
  • Emily gets redneck
  • Kalon exits in a minivan. Minivan? They have minivans in Europe?

 SLC Jef to the rescue

SLC Jef gets his first one-on-one to help put Emily back in the mood. An etiquette teacher rubs Emily and SLC Jef the wrong way and they ditch her to grab some beers and Fish & Chips. There’s a lot more beer drinking in London v. Wine in America. Over the beers, SLC Jef explains that if Ricki is baggage, she's a Khloe Handbag.  Dugan is not very hip, but I know Khloe sells stuff at Sears.


The rest was boring and then they kissed.

Rose Ceremony
  • Hot Seat for Egg Man, Wolf and Indy Arie.
  • Rico wants to have fun. What doesn't say fun more than a second scarf in one episode. Uncle Rico is now Uncle Jon Voight Rico.
  • Kalon is already jettisoned, Sean and SLC Jef have Roses. What 6 are joining them?
  • Father Doug, Uncle Jon Voight Rico, Bobblehead, Wolf, Indy Arie and the Egg Man.
  • Goodbye to the “farmer” from Medellin.

Until next week when Wags takes over for the Croatian episode. Fun Fact. Croatians can coach: Nick Saban, Bill Belichick and Rudy Tomjanovich agree.
