Was it just me, or was this episode boring as fuck? I mean, we all put up with a lot to watch this shit, but this one really seemed to drag for some reason. Anyway, we pick up in media res with The Widow Kelsey collapsed on the floor, suffering from a seemingly fatal case of crazy bitch. Medics (Australian, I think - is there some reason why every reality show is contractually obligated to use Australian medics?) huddle around, trying to pump sane juice into her. Sadly, she lives and returns to the Girl Cave cackling madly and talking about brownies.
So now we have a Rose Ceremony up top! It's like going through a car wash backwards. Teen Mom and Who The Fuck Is Samantha are out. Samantha, we hardly knew ye. Good luck in your new location.
We have unquestionably run out of locations to visit because we're going to Deadwood, South Dakota. Oh, for a Deadwood/Bachelor crossover so I can hear Al Swearingen telling Kaitlyn that the only motherfucking reason to live is to make sure that other fucking cocksucker dies. ABC has also run out of hotel budget because the girls are staying in a Holiday Inn with a corrugated steel exterior that looks like it was just flown in from Guantanamo.
What a fucking dump. Anyway, one on one date with Becca, who looks like she played softball in college and orders her lingerie from J. Crew. Unbelievably, she says she's never ridden a horse. That is a bunch of bullshit, Becca. There's some outdoor shit and horseback riding and a campfire and I don't know how she's going to eat that kebab because she never fully opens her mouth. Farmer hits her with his usual "Where do you see yourself in 5 years" question and she says "Heading up the entire East Coast region!" Not really. I don't know what she said but I'm sure it was boring. They have a long sleep-inducing conversation about feelings and I can tell she's a virgin because she wants 4-6 kids.
Group date! These fillies are going to write some country music, aided by a park bench hobo and a carpet salesman wearing a cowboy hat.
Oh, it's famous country music people Big & Rich. I like the bum looking one, he seems like he's drunk the whole time. There's a lot of nothing and then Farmer gets up to sing. He sounds like a Downs kid doing karaoke. Of course Cruise Ship Carly sees this as her *BIG* *MOMENT* and does a full single spotlight ballad. Then her eyebrows leap off and perform "La Cucaracha" to a mostly disinterested room.
Day turns to night and we're still hanging around this bar. Just between you and me, Deadwood appears to be such a fucking tourist hole it makes Myrtle Beach look like Brussels. Jade says she can see herself being in Iowa but she's from LA and she's thinking Field of Dreams instead of existential boredom and corn. Farmer grabs SparklyBritt and they run off to a Big & Rich show, which is Britt's "virgin country music experience" like she's just desperate to have something virgin about her. There's some rose thing and B&R play their carefully calibrated corporate rock/country. They're like Kid Rock without the edge. When they go back to the rest of the chix, everyone is SO MAD. At least Baby Voice manages to squeak out that she's "here for the right reasons," so it's not a total loss.
Let's get to tonight's Main Event, the Widow Kelsey vs. Virgin I Cage Match of Death!!!!!!! Everyone hops into a helicopter and flies over Mount Rushmore. Virgin "literally with this can't even" and that might be the most coherent thing she's said so far. Anyway, they land in some Badlands where there just happens to be a canopy bed and the whole thing looks like a Pink Floyd album cover. Virgin puts Kels on blast and tells Farmer how everyone just hates her so much. Natch Farmer immediately snitches her out to Kels, who sadly doesn't kill the Virgin. Everyone cries. Virgin would be a good match for anyone looking for an emotional Costa Concordia who needs psychiatric treatment if she gets a raspberry filling chocolate from the See's candy mix. In the smartest move of the season, Farmer kicks them both off and that's it for this week.
Next week we're probably going to Bloomington Indiana, the way things are going so far.

TK, I just wanted to appreciate the sacrifices you have made for the sake of your audience. Not only have you been sitting through this show week after week, but you had to LISTEN TO A BIG & RICH PERFORMANCE? Your selflessness and dedication to your craft is an inspiration, thank you.
Thanks, GG! It wasn't so much a performance as part of a single song but it was enough to make me not want to hear any more.
