The Bachelorette 2 - Episode 4 Summary

'Vying For Love' By buckeyegirl

Last week on the Bachelorette: In the truly most dramatic.rose.ceremony.ever, Meredith, in a moment of panic, realizes that she can’t choose between the handsome men she has left. So instead of handing out six roses, she gives out seven. Apparently, Ryan R. thought that he should have been deserving of that seventh rose, and his temper explodes. Rick tries to sooth him over by saying: “Man, you’re making a fool out of yourself on National T.V. Don’t go there.” Ryan says: “I can make a fool out myself if I want to. Weren’t you the one who gave Meredith that cheesy pair of slippers? Who’s the fool now?” Which leaves us to tonight’s episode, in which Chris promises us that: “We’ll truly have the.most.dramtic.rose.ceremony.(and if you believe that I have swampland in Florida to sell you.)

Part One: Love Letters

We get a beautiful scenic shot of birds swooping down over the guy’s house…could this be some sort of foreshadowing? (Ok, I’ve been watching Survivor way tooo long)

Inside the house Chris is there with this dire announcement: “Next to me are two of Meredith’s closest friends: TJ (who she’s known for 11 years) and Kelly Jo. No, you haven’t tuned into the Bachelor by mistake. Apparently, after being gratefully dissed by Bob, the two are now best friends-no Matthew that they only knew each other for what, 6 weeks?

However, I digress. Chris gives the guys this bad news: “These two DAW’s are going to decide who gets to go individual dates with Meredith, and who gets to go on a lame group date with her.” This brings looks of despair and surprise on the guys faces. But Chris isn’t done with his bad news, because he gleefully announces: “You have to get into pairs of three and sing “never gonna give you up” to Kelly Jo and TJ and the best group of three gets to move on in this competition…” Wait! That’s American Idol, my bad. He tells the guys something that is perhaps just as horrible: “You have to write a letter and read it out loud to Kelly Jo and TJ and tell them why you are Mr. Right for Meredith.” Oh, and one last thing, you only have an hour to write it, and you better not forget your lines, or they’ll be heck to pay!

Before you know the hour is up, and Chris is calling the guys back into the house to read their letters to KJ and TJ. The letters read by the Bachelors went something like this:

(sung to the tune of Never gonna give you up)

Mer-e-dith. Never gonna give you up
let us tell you how much we love ya
let us tell you how we’re feeling,
you’re so geninue and loyal, not the DAW
we thought you were. You’re sooo ca-r-ing.
We’re never wanna give, never gonna let her
down or desert her…
let us tell you how sincere you are, oh, words can’t describe you
Never gonna let you down, oh no
Never gonna give you up like Bob did,
let us tell you that we love you, we think
you’re elegant, but we’re not Ryan, oh no, No poems from the
heart, just this song to tell you, you’re not the DAW
we thought you were. We love you. We forgot the
rest of this song, but please don’t hurt us. We want that rose, uh huh.

KJ: “These guys are amazing. Simply.Amazing. I wish they could all go onto round two…”

Chris: (interrupting) “Thanks for your honesty guys, I’d love to tell you now who’s going onto the intimate date round, but Meredith will do that herself via the annoying and cheesy videotape. I’ll let you guys watch it, but I’m not stickin’ around to see your reactions because I don’t want to get beat up by you guys who only get the group date.. Ciao!”

The award for the best love letter goes to: (Drum roll please!) Chad! The videotape arrives and Meredith tells Chad “My friends think you’re the one for me. I’m not sure why, but isn’t my black leather outfit cool? Let’s shift things into high gear, and oh yea…you’re driving so I hope you go fast and have your license with you. (Did anyone else groan at that license pun?)
