'More to Love': My favorite goes home
Tonight on "More to Love," my favorite girl of the bunch was sent home. Guess I'm rooting for Tali now?It's Family Time, guys! Woo hoo! Have we not seen before that they get their notes in the form of a giant ring and call it "Ring Mail?" That's weird. They could've come up with somebody way cleverer than that.
Tali's Date
As she gets ready she talks about being rejected back in Israel because of her size. Honestly, out of all the women I think she has the least to be worried about. Yes, she's curvier. But she's not fat at all and she's freakin' gorgeous. I would kill for her hair.
Anyway, Luke takes her Go-Kart racing, which is just awesome. How fun! Tali is totally compeitive and takes a rather funny crash into the wall. They sit down to eat and her aunt and uncle are there and she starts crying. Interestingly, the uncle is not Israeli and the aunt is so they talk about how hard that can be so that's cool. Tali confesses privately to her aunt that she really loves the way Luke looks at her. Luke talks to he uncle about their religion and how the family can put pressure on them for having different beliefs.
Back at the Bachelorette Pad, Mandy gets her solo date "Ring Mail" and Malissa starts in on her about how she connects with the Luke and all that. It's a tad unnecessary from Malissa because she IS pretty pushy/bitchy but Mandy has a total meltdown about it. OMG, girl. Pull it together!
Mandy's Date
Mandy looks a dish in a pretty orange dress. However, take it from a busty girl... braless is not a good look for us, Mandy. Anyway, they get to a boat for a cruise and her parents are there. They all have coconut-shell cocktails and wear leis and her parents seem very cool. Her dad talks about working out every day and Luke remarks, "With the calories I take in, if I stopped working out I would get pretty big." Dude. How many calories are you EATING? A big guy still doesn't need to eat like 4000 calories per day. Sheesh.
Mandy's parents also kind-of warn Luke about how "sensitive" Mandy is. Mandy shoots daggars at her mom and I have to wonder if Mandy is our new Kristian because "sensitive" is code for "cuckoopants." Her mom also says that Mandy might be ready for a relationship but she's not ready for marriage. Yikes, mom! Way to throw your daughter under the bus (you know, in this magical world where you fall in love in 4 weeks on a reality show).
Anna's Date
Luke takes Anna bowling, which is a great date. Anna totally agrees with me. I want to hang out with this girl in real life, I really enjoy her. Anna wins by 30 pins, 103 to 73. Her parents arrive and she dwarfs both of them, which is interesting. I'm almost as tall as Anna, but my dad and brother are still taller than me, which is nice.
The parents ask him about qualities he looks for and he says commitment and a woman with her own mind and own ambitions. He says Anna traveling for work would not get in the way of their relationship but he talking-heads that he thinks she may not be ready to settle down because of her career.
Malissa's Date
Man, just when I thought we were going to go a whole episode without Luke skeeving me out... Malissa asks him, "How are you?" and he smarms, "Good now." It's not what he says, it's the way that he says it, guys. It's creepy.
They head out to a restaurant and there's lots of flirty-flirty and smoochies. I can tell Malissa is safe because I think she's the one that Luke wants to jump the most. Anyway, they put on blindfolds for a wine tasting and Malissa's sisters sneak in, which is hilarious. Her dark-haired sister, Shannon, is pretty. Her blonde sister Kat looks like she just got off work at the truck stop cafe. I'm sure she's really nice, I'm just sayin'.
The girls grill him, with Kat getting into it about Malissa's size. Basically, if Luke doesn't appreciate Malissa Kat is going to knife him in the parking lot. Kat also divulges that she has a 4 year-old son and Malissa has never babysat for him and when Malissa says she never asked, the other sister goes, "Yes, she has." Wow, and I thought Mandy's mom threw her under the bus. Way to go, Skanky Sister.
Luke asks if he has their blessing to propose and Shannon seems cool but Kat is like, "I don't know..." Luke says she's making him nervous and she goes, "No, I like you..." but then turns her dead eyes on him and actually conveys silently that she's going to kill him and her sister.
Bachelorette Pad
Malissa tells the other girls that Luke asked her sisters what if he were to propose. Tali and Anna don't like it, but take it like grown-ups. Mandy starts crying again. I want to scream at the screen, "You can do better than Luke!" Seriously, the four women left are NOT fat, particularly Mandy, and they are all gorgeous and I don't understand their man troubles. Self-esteem issues I get, but not man problems.
Cocktail Party
Luke rehashes the solo dates with each woman. Malissa does confide to Anna that she thinks it'll be the two of them at the end, which I could see. If I had to pick, I'd think Mandy is packing her bags tonight, though we've seen that Luke's track record of recognizing the crazy is not great.
As Luke chats privately with Anna, Mandy drunkenly spies on them and starts to go all batty again. She corners him and asks him about the proposal question for Malissa's sisters. Luke reassures her and she says that comforts her. He talking-heads that Mandy needs more attention than he first thought, though that doesn't make her needy or clingy. Funny, those were the exact words that sprung into MY mind.
Ring Ceremony
Tonight we eliminate one girl and the smart money's on Mandy, which probably means my girl Anna is leaving because that's how these shows always go. Luke gives rings to Malissa, Tali and... Mandy. Dammit! I knew it!
Well, that's unfortunate. Anna is obviously upset, but she's classy in her exit. Anna, call me! I will go bowling with you any time you want!
Next week, Luke and the Ladies head to Hawaii. Awesome. I'd go on a show like this just for the trip. The last Bachelorette got to go to Spain!

Was it me or did anybody else find it mildly disturbing that Malissa felt so strongly about not liking kids but she "knows" it would be different with her own? It was like she was just saying what she thought Luke wanted to hear. I did like her, but not so much anymore. She comes off as very immature to me now. And oh my goodness, I also couldn't agree more with her sister and the truck stop comment! Too funny! I'm with you Andrea, I wanted Anna to be the one he picked. I also think Tali is gorgeous, but I really think the religious/ethnic difference is going to factor in with his final decision--but I could be wrong.
He'll pick Malissa but it will not work out long-term. Mandy will have a restraining order taken out against her. Tali will settle down with a nice normal guy and have a great family.
I hope Mandy wins. I don't think she's too needy. She probably has real feelings for Luke and it must be quite upsetting to be competing like that. I think she's natural and proably with a similar background / family situation as Luke which always helps.
Tali deserve better than Luke, he's a nice guy and all but she's just in a different category.
Malissa is a slut, putting her huge boobs on the table and pretending she likes kids.
I am personally glad Anna got away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She deserves much more...
Hope Malissa wins, they both deserve each other...
Malissa is evil - immature and evil. Mandy may or may not be unstable, we can't even pretend this is a normal life situation these gals are in. And then - with that thought you have to ask, who would do this? Truly, I would not let Luke kiss me after all the other lips he has been smacking on. These shows are kind of disgusting when you think about it. If this were my brother looking for a gal I'd pick Tali for him. Beautiful woman of class and intelligence. And it would probably be someone like Malissa giving the lap dances at the bachelor party. She lied, about the kids. She doesn't like kids, didn't even seem to like her sisters much. Sweet and Sour, was that their names? :)
I liked Luke, but he let some nice girls get away and maybe their lucky. None of the 4 remaining are very big, did anyone notice. Malissa being the largest and her weight gain is recent. I now hope he does end up with Malissa she is totally fake. They can get married and she can quit her waitress job and Luke can babysit for her sister and change the kids diapers. He is going for looks only. Typical. My favorite is Tali, she is the most sincere and has the most to offer. She deserves better.
Like it or not- he's picking TALI in the end- he may be sleazy but he's not stupid! She's the best catch - I just hope she sees the light and realizes what a beautiful intelligent woman - way past his league- she really is and leaves him for a guy who can't spread any communicable diseases with his lips in a 30min slot! Ulgh!
He really should end up w Malissa- they are both slimy- cookie- cutter-made for each other! You know what they say about what -*#^ gathers flies! And Malissa sure is showing her true fly colors!
this guy is HUGE yet he systematically weeded out the biggest women. Typical. stupid show
HELLO ITS A REALITY SHOW YOU PEOPLE HAVE NO IDEA WHATS BEEN EDITED OUT OF IT.... IM SURE YOUVE KISSED DIFFERENT PEOPLE IN A FEW DIFFERENT DAYS BUT NOBODY SAYS ANYTHING CAUSE ITS NOT EDITED AND CUT DOWN TO A HOUR SHOW... MALISSA IS NOT A SLUT AND YOUR PROBABLY JUST JEALOUS YOU DONT HAVE BIG ONE LIKE HER... LIKE I SAID BEFORE SO MUCH IS EDITED AND TAKEN OUT... MALISSA HAS NO NEED TO LIE AND IS WAY TO GOOD FOR LUKE!!!!
Tali is big by Israeli standards. the girls are mostly pretty slim there. and Luke, i hate to be the one to inform you(!), but you already are "pretty big." actually, i'd say you are REALLY big. ugh. and i agree, Luke is skeevy AND creepy.
