The Bachelor: WWCHD (What would Chris Harrison do?)
Commentary by RTVC Staff Writer Romantic Rose

His target and their target.
This week’s Bachelor included a new twist: the ladies all piled into RVs for a road trip along the California coast.
The cattiness is subdued compared to Rock of Love Bus, but the girls in the RV without Vienna spend their time bashing her and wondering what Jake sees in her.
Meanwhile, we viewers wonder what Vienna’s done to make them so mad. We haven’t seen much, but I think it’s a little insulting to all the girls to say they’re just jealous of her. One or two, maybe, but when even Gia who was initially Vienna’s friend calls her out, something ain’t right.
Unfortunately, we still don’t see what it is.
Jake wisely avoids riding in the RVs and takes his motorcycle. He doesn’t quite reach Cool Rider level, but it’s enough to have the girls racing to grab him when they finally stop at vineyard to camp. Vienna wins, which only makes the other girls madder.
The first date is a one-on-one with Gia. So far, we haven’t seen much of Gia and Jake interacting.
My impression is that Gia is not a good match for Jake, and the outfit she wears with stiletto heels don’t change my mind. She’s such a city girl, she’s never been to a campfire or seen so many stars. Poor Gia, forced to live her life in the stores and nightclubs of New York City. How will she cope with the simple life?
Pretty well, actually. In a moment that looks as spontaneous as the girls-on-girls football game at the first cocktail party, Gia suggests a game of hide and seek. She hides behind a row of vines and waits. If the ground is wet, her stilettos are probably sinking into the mud. Jake finds her, and they sit down for their first serious conversation.
Gia reveals she is a former nerd. Current female nerds everywhere proclaim her their new hero.
To me, she’s not drop-dead gorgeous, but she has a good figure and pretty hair, and my male coworker assures me she has sex appeal.
Jake responds by telling her he was Mr. Dateless in ninth grade and didn’t have his first kiss until two years later. Gia says her first kiss was a meaningless moment during a Spin-the-Bottle game at a party. They decide to finish off the wine bottle and spin it. They actually looked more comfortable together than I expected, but the game was just awkward. Plus it kind of defeats the purpose of the game. Like it wasn’t going to lead to Gia and Jake kissing?
Later they talk about family. Gia wants to have two kids and adopt one from China. No, Gia, China is so last year. Angelina and the other celebs are adopting from more esoteric countries. Try Zambia or Azerbaijan. Anyway, Jake says he’s open to adoption, and he seems impressed with Gia’s answer. Check demonstrate your family values off the list, Gia. She adds that she also wants a potbellied pig. For some reason, I believe her on this one.
Actually, it was a good date......
