RSS'The Bachelor: London Calling': Getting Dirty
Last week on 'The Bachelor: London Calling', Carie and Michelle warbled their way home, followed closely by early favorite (of Matt's, not of your fearless recapper) Erin H. And Shayne brought the kind of A-Game crazy not usually found until at least week three in earlier cycles. Desperate sluts these days! So advanced!
On this week's very! long! episode! the girls will go on one group date and two solo dates with Matt. The first one-on-one date box reveals that Holly will be walking the red carpet at the premiere of Made of Honor. She chooses a genuinely unflattering zebra-print maxidress with keyhole cutout. Matt loves the red carpet and writes "Matt + Holly" plus a heart in the wet cement outside Graumann's. But! They're not even invited to the premiere, which is awesome - they're just there for a private screening. Heh. After the movie, they go to the Roosevelt Hotel and have a romantic dinner, although Matt is concerned that he and Holly have no electricity, which I'm fairly certain means he doesn't want to sleep with her. Although he does mack on her in the hot tub, and eventually gives her the rose, so...maybe he was talking about the actual electricity in the hotel?
Back at the house, another date box arrives and the girls learn that they will be playing rugby on the group date, with the exception of Shayne, who will get the second solo date. And the "Matt Loves Holly" concrete lands on the front steps of the house, sending the girls into paroxysms of panic. The girls are split into two teams, and it's all fun and games and mud wrestling until Marshana gets elbowed in the face and ends up with a split lip. The other girls accuse her of faking to win Matt's attention. After the match, everyone adjourns to Matt's gorgeous house for hot-tubbing and massages. Matt and Kelly go in for a couples' massage, at which point she kicks out the masseuse and climbs on top of him to do some massaging of her own. Afterwards, Robin joins Matt in the hot tub for some one-on-one time. Amanda snags Matt for some face time but gets blindsided by Noelle and Kristine, who awkwardly attempt to join the conversation. At the end of the evening, Robin gets the rose.
While Shayne waits for her date, Holly pulls out a full-on spray-tanning apparatus - complete with compressor! - and sprays Shayne down. The date box arrives and Shayne learns that her date will involve wine, which...we've seen Shayne and wine before. We're on to you, producers! They're going wine tasting in Ojai, and Shayne is having trouble navigating her heels even before she starts drinking, so this should be fairly epic. She attempts to dodge questions about her "famous" family. Once again, Shayne proves herself Unclear on the Concept when she tells Matt that she doesn't see herself getting married soon. Wait, what is she competing for again? At least she admits to being high-maintenance. Her top five things in life are cars, shoes, handbags, sunglasses and watches. The future mother of your children, Matt Grant! Come on down! She curls into his lap in front of the fire, and Matt just can't keep his paws off her. He admits to feeling like a hormonal teenager around her, and gives her a rose.
The next evening, Matt arrives at the house for some face time with the rest of the girls. Chelsea moves in really awkwardly for a kiss, but Matt reciprocates. Noelle admits to Robin that she doesn't think Matt knows who she is (neither do I, sweetie!) Robin moves in on Amy's solo time with Matt, and Shayne, Amy and Kelly steal him back. Robin's forwardness prompts a confrontation with Marshana and Shayne, and the other girls quickly pile on against her. While Matt sits down with poor Kristine, who is ten years older and light years more mature than any other girl in the house, the rest of the girls scream at each other in the kitchen. Holly cries as she realizes that Matt is going to continue to date the rest of the women. Chris appears for the rose ceremony, and oh my god Shayne appears to be made up as a clown doll. My weekly uneducated guess: Amy, Kristine and Noelle are going home. Hey, I was close this time! Substitute Jillian Barberie-alike Erin in for sweet little Noelle and I was dead on. I guess all of us girls are getting to know Matt a little better.
Next week: the Santa Monica Pier, plus sudden-death dating.
But what did you think? I was so relieved Noelle didn't get the ax, although I continue to be disappointed that the Kellys and Shaynes of the world are sticking around as well. Do you have a favorite yet? Give!

Ohmygod! Could Shayne BE more shallow, vapid, vacuous, conceited, spoiled, clueless? I could go on, but ... I don't even get the physical attraction to her because her face is so devoid of any intellect or character. It's just ..... simpering. Blechh!
And Robin does nothing for me. She's way heavy-handed onthe aggression and, if I may be as shallow as Shayne, the least attractive woman I've seen last more than a week on this show. Matt's beginning to annoy me with the Bachelor Bob face slurping and hot tubbing before he even remembers everyone's name. Brad may not have picked anyone in the end (really, was that SUCH a bad decision?) but at least he had cl***.
I think he is keeping Shayne around because he thinks she is easy and might be able to "score" with her.
Shayne gets on my nerves and if Matt is really looking to settle down with a WOMAN, he would of sent her home last week after the immature tantrum. If he really wants a wife, he had better show a lot more attention to Amanda, Chelsea & Noelle. They are the only ones left who I believe are old enough and mature enough for that role. Matt does seen like a great guy and I just hope he has some good sense to go with it.
This season's bachelor appears to have cl***, intelligence and charm, BUT by the way he's choosing his women, I am beginning to doubt him! Why is he keeping such immature, trashy girls there, like Kelly, Ashley and Shayne! Ughh! I'm beginning to think that he is quite trashy himself!
Shayne is not any of those things.... she's very real, and doesn't hide it from him. It's up to him if he want's to wait around alittle for her. Sometimes it takes someone serious, to spark that same interest in yourself. She is young, being only 22 you think about being married but it's hard to REAALY see becuase she hasn't found him yet. If they aren't mean't to be together it is very possible. They both bring out good things in eachother, and i think it is very possible.
my choice is Shayne..atleast i hope it is. I like all the girls left..as of tonight.
Explain what is so trashy about shayne? Don't mistake her fashion sense and personality as that. I dont see that at all... Now kelly, she was trashy. That's obvious...
is it jealousy or something??? Cause shayne is 22...she is polite, and i think pretty mature for her age after seeing her around differnet arguments and disagreements...that's who she is...
it comes down to how down to earth he wants "her" to be... some of them are to serious for him i think.
I think chelsea may be going home tonight. my second guess..would be amanda or noelle..it's a hard one though.
We'll see
the "tantrum" she had was not a tantrum...if you ..(if your a girl) can put yourself in her position, you'd see that you'd probably feel very vulnerable and frustrated..being aware of what this show is..and that you have to share him with other woman..but she just needed to show him that she was feeling very taken over..like she wasn't given a chance and that also shows she feels strongly for him..
she did what she had to do. look what it did to him. he said to her, that he is very glad she did what she did...
Don't look at this as a tv show..think of it in real life situations..
it would probably change perspectives.
I think Shanye should be the next bachelorett I think it would be a great show.

Josephine, what surreal world are you living in? The show would fold if viewers had to tune into watch her"perform" every week.
Give us a break, and don't even put that out for the universe to even hear!!!!!!!!
