Does she stay or does she go?

This week the dates were in Juan Pablo’s hometown - Miami

Juan Pablo’s intension was to bring the Bachelorettes to Miami so they could experience “real life” with him.  Juan Pablo met up with his friend and talked to him about the girls.  He told him that Sharleen is amazing…she could be the one.  Sharleen told the camera “at this moment she is not ready to introduce Juan Pablo to her family.” 

Date #1 (Alone Date) Sharleen – Come sea my city

Sharleen received the date card from Juan Pablo and was shocked to receive the date card!  What was more shocking to her was that he wanted to start the date immediately.  She told the camera that they are still missing a connection that she needs and if by the end of the day if she doesn’t see the connection she will be wasting his time.

Back at the Hotel – the other girls were talking behind Sharleen’s back, saying that she is not a good match for Juan Pablo.

Sharleen’s date started on a yacht!  Sharleen continued to tell the camera that today is the day where she will know if she should introduce Juan Pablo to her family or not.  Sharleen told Juan Pablo that she felt a little off, but he didn’t think that she felt off.  – He clearly can’t read the girl!  To calm her down he went in for an awkward kissing session.  Sharleen actually told him “he is trouble.”  She then told the camera that their chemistry is magnetic and all of her doubts go away when they kiss. 

Back to the Hotel – Nikki and Andi were talking smack about Sharleen again.  Wondering how a traveling Opera singer would be able to date someone with a child.

The yacht dropped them off at a beach to watch the sunset.  Juan Pablo brought up her job and how it would be tough for the two of them to be together with her being a traveling Opera singer.  Sharleen told him that she is ready to stop putting her career first and make changes in her life.  They wrapped up the daylight portion of the date in the ocean. – I wonder what happened in that ocean?

The date ended with a romantic ride back to Miami on the yacht.  They sat on the bow of the boat and looked at the moon and stars.  From there they moved onto a make-out session.  - The camera zoomed in on the kissing session….that definitely was not necessary!  Juan Pablo told Sharleen that he likes the words that she uses. Lol Then he went in for the kill – What do you think about having a family?  She admitted to him that she isn’t sure.  His response was that he likes honesty.  She told the camera that during that moment on the bow of the boat that everything felt right…but there is a little voice in her head telling her that it is not right. 

Sharleen told the camera that after an amazing date that she still doesn’t feel like she is ready to introduce Juan Pablo to her family.  Apparently the date ended because the next scene was Sharleen telling Renee that she still wasn’t sure about Juan Pablo and feels like she should leave so it would open up a space for another girl that knows how she feels about Juan Pablo. 

Date #2 (Alone Date) Nikki – Listen to my heartbeat

Nikki’s first response was “I have to dance again?  I thought I paid my dancing dues in Korea.”  - Doesn’t she realize this guy is looking for a girl who likes to dance?

Juan Pablo met up with Nikki and took her to a flower shop.  She was a little confused on why they were going to pick up flowers.  He told her that he was going to take her to Camilla’s dance recital where his mother, father, and Camellia’s mother would be in attendance.  Nikki was SHOCKED!  On the ride to the recital Nikki asked Juan Pablo if he was nervous.  His response “no”, her response “yes, I’m nervous!”  Speechless mind blown is how Nikki described her experience at the dance recital.  After the recital Nikki met Camellia and was excited to meet her and watch Juan Pablo interact with his daughter.  Nikki told the camera that she could see herself fitting into the family.  - The ex-girlfriend didn’t seem to excited to meet Nikki…

The date ended at Marlin’s Park – aka - Juan Pablo’s office.  They played catch on the field.  Nikki was wearing a blouse with a slit down the front and Juan Pablo seemed to throw a few more grounder balls than would be expected.  After playing catch they sat down to talk.  It seemed like Nikki was the only one who wanted to talk.  Juan Pablo couldn’t keep his eyes off of her chest.  Nikki finally asked the question we were all thinking.  How does it work with Camilla’s mother?  Apparently she is ok with him going through this process and wants him to meet someone to join their family. 

Sharleen Drama

Sharleen pulled everyone together to talk.  She told the girls that she is conflicted and has been for a while so she has decided to leave.  The girls put on a good shocked face.  Andi broke the silence asking, “are you sure?” 

After saying goodbye to the girls she went to Juan Pablo’s room to tell him that she would be leaving him.  Sharleen told the camera that she is aware that she could be making a huge mistake! She got to Juan Pablo’s room and dumped him because she didn’t think that receiving a proposal in three weeks is something that is possible for her.  The first words out of Juan Pablo’s mouth were “I understand, this is a hard situation to be in.”  After that he brought her to tears.  – I think she wanted him to convince her to stay and was brought to tears when he didn’t try to convince her to stay.  Juan Pablo told her the only thing that pisses him off is that she didn’t sing enough for him.  From there she gave him a hug and left him.  - He didn’t seem too torn apart by her departure.  After Sharleen left, Juan Pablo told the camera that he appreciates her honesty.  With that the tears started to flow.  As Sharleen was being driven away in a taxicab she was sad, but admitted to still feeling that she made the right choice.

Date #3 (Group Date) Renee, Clare, Andi, Chelsie – My hometown to yours

This date would be the only date that would include a rose.

Juan Pablo met the girls and they flew by seaplane to a private beach.  Chelsie pulled Juan Pablo aside for some one on one time.  She spent her time sharing notes that her mother and father gave her when she left for the show.  During Andi’s alone time she admitted that she is getting ready for a breakdown.  She started crying and told him that she feels vulnerable and the hometown dates make her even more nervous to share more with him without knowing how he feels about her.  He calmed her down with a few kisses.  During Clare’s alone time Juan Pablo talked to her about who he would meet during a hometown date if he were to give her a rose.  Juan Pablo told her that he wished he could meet her dad.  That touched Clare.  Rose #1 went to Andi!  Clare told the camera that it doesn’t make sense to her why people who are doubting themselves are getting roses and she isn’t.  Andi got to spend the remainder of the date with Juan Pablo because she got the rose.  As the other girls were leaving, Juan Pablo and Andi were in the ocean kissing.  – What is happening in that ocean?  The date ended on the main land.  Juan Pablo took Andi to a Latin concert where they danced on a stage. 

Back at the Hotel – Clare was clearly pissed off about not getting a rose.  The girls gave Nikki a recap of the date.  Clare said something bitchy to Nikki.  Nikki removed herself from the situation.  Clare went to approach her and started a fight.  Nikki told her that she could excuse herself from her room.  Clare had to get technical about the room saying that it is open space because none of them paid for the room.  The fight was totally confusing…I’m not quite sure what the fight was about.  It was so ridiculous I don’t even care what it was about! 

Cocktail Party

During Renee’s alone time she told him that she is nervous about the Rose Ceremony.  Nikki talked smack about Clare to Andi saying that she isn’t his type during Clare’s alone time.  Clare talked smack about Nikki to the other girls during Nikki’s alone time.  To wrap up the cocktail party… essentially Clare and Nikki talked smack about each other the whole time.  Somehow Clare and Nikki ended up alone sitting next to each other and the camera showed them not talking to each other for a good 30 seconds.  All of the other girls headed back and things got even more awkward.  Juan Pablo walked up to the girls and sensed that something was wrong.  Chris had perfect timing and announced that it was Rose Ceremony time.

Rose Ceremony

Rose #2 – Nikki

Rose #3 – Clare

Rose #4 – Renee

After giving out the final rose Juan Pablo was brought to tears.  As he walked Chelsie to the limo, she was telling him what a great guy he is.  Once into the limo the tears started to flow.  Another one sent home crying!

Next week Juan will meet the ladies families.

Next week is a two-day Bachelor event (Monday & Tuesday night)!  Two episodes, two nights, double the romance, and double the drama!
