Trista got to spend time with each guy, Ryan, Russ and Charlie.
First up, was Ryan. They spent a whole day in Seattle. They were on a boat, that had a jacuzzi. So, they changed into their bathing suits and got in. They talked about things and started kissing. She felt very comfortable with him. Later they had dinner, at the top in the Space Needle. After dinner was finished, Trista pulled out a card. It's an invitation to a complimentary suite for the two of them to spend the night, if they chose to. And they did. The room was set of in a romantic atmosphere. Rose peddles on the bed, champagne and a fireplace. Outside, on the doorknob, was a sign, that read "Do Not Disturb."
Next was, Russ. They went to Sedona. Trista isn't sure if she has seen the true Russell. She wanted to see if the connection, that they shared earlier is still there. They meet at the hotel and walk out to a helicopter for an aerial tour and an "aura photography" reading. They later have dinner next to the fireplace, and Russ talks about how he still doesn't feel he can open up to Trista. He tells Trista that she has walls up and isn't willing to open up to him, and that has him concerned. Trista again tells him she feels he is rushing things, and she repeatedly has to stop him from interrupting her while she tries to explain how he has been forcing it. They argue. This clearly shows, that the evening isn't going well. She pulls out a card. It's an invitation to a complimentary suite, to spend the night. They go to the room, but Trista decides that she doesn't want to spend the night with Russ. He understands and he gives her a kiss and they go their seperate ways.
Last up, is Charlie. Trista relaxes on the beach, in Cabo San Lucas. Charlie arrives and she has butterflies. The chemistry is there between them. Trista confesses that she connects with Charlie through their conversation, and they can talk about anything. Trista asks Charlie how he is different from the other bachelors, and Charlie says he thinks he's more like Ryan than Russ, because he's more sincere. They kiss while standing in the shallow waves, and she says that she notices he shakes every time they kiss. They head out on a powerboat, and Charlie tells her that he feels very comfortable around her. He confesses that he feels very vulnerable, and isn't sure what her feelings are. They get cleaned up and meet back for dinner on the sand. Trista confesses that Charlie can light her up "like a Christmas tree," and she just needs to figure out if he's the most compatible for her. Charlie tells her that if he is her choice, that he would make the commitment to be exclusive with her. She takes out the fantasy suite invitation, and they decide to take the offer. At the suite, they sit in the hot tub and talk more, and Charlie confesses he feels better now than he has at any time during this process. They kiss in the hot tub, and later close the door for privacy.
Well, judging from the dates, it's obvious, who would get the remaining roses. Trista gave a rose to Ryan and Charlie. Russ was let go.
Trista walks Russ out, and he says it's OK, that he didn't get to show her who he really is, and that they're not on the same page. After he leaves, Trista feels her decision was the correct one, as Russ wouldn't admit his true feelings about being disappointed.
Next week, the men gather together and give their input on the whole experience. Russ is asked, how he felt on being the only guy, out of the three, who didn't spend the night with Trista. And Trista makes an appearance and confronts the guys.
Ryan and Charlie each have their turns, in meeting Trista's family. Then, she will pick the man of her dreams! Stay tuned....
Due to a cold, I haven't been able to keep up with the days. Last I left off, was Day 4. So, here's an update of Days 5 - 8.
Day 5, was a pen with a little heart, that says "I love you." It lights when you write. There is a slot to put a picture in it, but it's too tiny.
Day 6, was a heart shaped card, with lyrics of an Elvis song. The song was The Wonder of You.
Day 7, was another Valentine lottery scratcher. "Where" his choice, "What" his choice and "When" On Valentine's Day. I don't really like the sound of that, cause knowing Bill, like I do, it can be a scary thought. heehee
And today! Day 8, he got a mug, full of hearts. It has sayings like, "Be Mine", "Cute Pie" and etc.
Finally, I saw a whole episode of this show. Evan flew each lady, to a specific destination in different areas of France.
First date was Melissa. She was so excited to get fly on "Evan's personal jet" and for their date to start. Her hotel room was very elegant and huge. The only thing I can remember, from the date, was dinner. She wore this dress that had a plunging neckline and her breasts were practically falling out. Evan kept staring at them, during dinner. He tried to look elsewhere or think of some sort of conversation to get some sort of distraction and he finally admitted it. Melissa at point started to lean over more or playfully pushed them up to show more. She's silly, but there wasn't much a connection here. They were attracted to eachother, but there seemed to be something missing.
Next up, was Zora. Now she is my favorite. Everytime I saw the show, I kept trying to think, that she looked familiar or resembled someone. And last night, it dawned on me. She looks like a taller Kirstin Davis, from "Sex In The City." On her plane ride to her destination, she was a beautiful rainbow and she got all giddy and excited. Once she got off the plane and met up with Evan, she showed it to him. He knew that she would get a kick at looking at it. He took her to her hotel room. She got ready for dinner. The dress that she wore, showed her cleavage. What is it with these women? They were practically falling out of their dress. She did look pretty. Evan let it slip, where he said where did you get the breast..I mean dress. Well, we know what was on his mind. After dinner, they went swimming and Zora was a bit uncomfortable in wearing a swimsuit. She started to warm up and they kissed. The next day at breakfast, she told Evan that she had a dream. It was about him, but he had a different identity, that she wasn't being honest with her. Evan started to freak out a bit and felt that she was on to something. On the ride back to the plane, there was silence and the ride wasn't that pleasant.
Back at the chateau, Sarah and Melissa were talking about Zora. That she was miss-all-innocent, hard to get and miss proper. But they feel that Zora isn't being honest with them and that she isn't what you think she is. Like these two are miss innocent?
Sarah is the last one. She had dinner with Evan and the dress she wanted to wear, got lost in the baggage claim. So, she wore whatever she could find. She knew what to order to dinner. Evan felt that she is very sophisticated and knows alot about what to order at a fancy restaurant. She was flirting with him most of the time. Then late at night, she knocks on Evan's door and makes some excuse about showing him the moon. Well they got a little cozy under her blanket.
So, to make this short. Evan chooses Zora and Sarah. Melissa was too much into the money thing. Sarah seems a bit into the extravagant lifestyle and the money too. Well will see next week, who Evan picks and see the reaction of the person, when she finds out the truth!
Well for Day 3, his hint was: "Roses Are Red, Violets Are Blue...this is a title of what??" POEM!!!! I printed a copy of Love Sonnet XVII By Pablo Neruda.
For Day 4, his hint was: "This Is A Writing Utensil" and he guessed it! A pen. This pen has the words "I Love You" and when you write, it lights up. Sounds kind of corny huh?
This morning, before breakfast. He got another heart and his hint was: You will need a coin for this. I placed a coin and a Valentine lottery scratcher, under the place mat.
I was shopping around and found these lottery scratchers. These are specifically for Valentine's Day. Instructions are that you will need to scratch one heart from each row.
The first row says, "What", second row says, "Where" and third row says, "When."
For his "What", he gets to have chocolate & strawberries. "Where", his place and "When", his choice.
