Week 5

After rose ceremony, Blakeley heads for Tony, to put her under her spell. Chris is pissed his friends turned on him, he is guessing who betrayed him. Sarah comes to his aide and hops in bed with him. Everyone believes if Chris doesn’t win the challenge, he goes home. He calls out Kalon, he admits to voting off Jamie and lying to Chris. Oh and then Ed admits to lying too and not trusting Chris.
They yell at each other, Chris says Ed is only still here b/c he saved him, Ed apologizes, then throws a glass claiming the game is stupid and storms off. Did karma finally catch up with Chris?

Challenge day: Winners get a rose, no penalty for the two that come in last place (no vote against them)

“Great Fall of China” – race between tables 7 times, carrying a tray, each time you get to table you have to add a saucer and cup – first person to do so wins. Blakeley thinks she has this one, having worked at Hooters for 10 years. Drop anything, you have to start over, cannot touch anything on your tray.

Plates dropping everywhere, Blakeley off to great start, but then drops her tray. Erika is waiting for a challenge geared toward her, like shopping. Sarah wins, then gets it revoked b/c she touched her cup .Blakeley right behind her, wins. Rub in Chris’ face, b/c he just dropped her as a partner.

Blakeley wins the tea cup challenge

Blakeley coaches Tony the whole one, step-by-step, walks with him and talks in his ear. So annoying. But, it worked!! Tony won.

Guys in the tea cup challenge

Blakeley and Tony will go on their date together, so they picked to give their other date to Kalon, who picked Lindzi. Their date card arrived and they got a Bentley ride and Neil Lane jewelery for Lindzi. Blakeley was upset, but thinks her date will be even more awesome.

Kalon and Lindzi drive to a bridge that was shut-down for them, a table is set up for them to have dinner. Kalon opens up and tells Lindzi how much he cares about her and may be falling in love with her.

At the house, Chris plots against Kalon – he can’t go home, he has a rose, but he can send home Lindzi! Pay back for Kalon.

Tony and Blakeley go on their over night date. They get a jeep, kinda pick-up truck, def not a Bentley and start off with their map to see the stars. They keep waiting for the BIG surprise, helicopter, jewelery…they got a trailer, Airstream, outside in the desert. They cook on a BBQ, Blakeley, talks a lot and Tony listens. He may want to be the guy for her. They dance and share a kiss.

At the house, Chris talks to Ed, tries to get him back on his side – drops the ‘vote off Lindzi’ plan, he seems interested.

Michael plans a private date at the mansion for him and Rachel. They are getting really close.

Chris tries to tell Tony to not give his rose to Lindzi. Tony talks to Blakeley about it. She wants Chris and Sarah to go home this week, Tony not thinking the same thing completely. Tony goes to give his rose speech, Chris cuts him off and asks him to go outside. Didn’t matter, rose went to Jaclyn (not Sarah).

Rose Ceremony. Everyone says they cannot be persuaded and know they are voting off Chris and Sarah. Chris Harrison comes out and asks who are couples, Ed admits that he isn’t looking for love, kinda of shocking everyone including Jaclyn, who thought they were a couple! She is upset and embarrassed. They sleep in the same bed every night though, ouch Ed. Maybe should have told your chick that in private first. They go to talk on their own. Ed doesn’t want a relationship, she did, she cries b/c she has feelings for him. He just says he is sorry..then nothing else.

Shake things up now – everyone is going to vote off one girl tonight, whichever women gets the most votes will get to choose which man she takes with her – who also has to leave the game too, no questions asks. So, you get rid of Sarah she will choose someone in the big alliance to take with her probably Michael, so now everyone is campaigning to get rid of Erica Rose – but, who will she take with her, Chris? Michael?  Michael wants to convince Erica that Chris is trying to get votes against her, so when she is voted off she will take Chris with her.

Michael convinces Erica, Chris voted for her. Chris says screw this, I’m taking Erica into the voting room with me and you can watch me vote for Lindzi. Bam Michael is a liar, she calls him out, he looks stressed she says she will take the house with her, if she goes home. Good move Chris! (not team Michael right b/c him and Erica are friends and he is playing her).

Rose time: Down to Erica and Lindzi. Lindzi gets the rose, Erica goes home…who will she take with her? She wants to break up an alliance and takes Michael with her, she wants to shake up the house and make things more fair. She wishes Nick, Chris and Jaclyn good luck. Rachel is upset, cries and wants to leave the show with Michael. Rachel calls out Erica, she doesn’t want to hear it and calls Michael a manipulator and bad friend..oh and the best decision Holly ever made was to leave him and marry Blake..WOW, mean on another level. She says people can see who he really is now.
