Bachelor 19 - Chris Soules - Episode 5 - *Spoilers & Sleuthing* - Discussion

Also women of my mother's generation went to the hairdresser once a week and didn't wash their hair in between. that's what shower caps were for.

From those pics, it looks to me like she did wash her hair. Thankfully. His nose is quite close to her hair.

I didn't take a bath or shower everyday(only showered If I was leaving the house) .  I took what I like to call a Ho bath.  I washed my face,feet,the pits, the tatas and my lady parts. It was tough in the beginning as I was a 1 maybe 2 showers a day taker but I have to tell ya my skin wasn't as dry and neither was my hair.

We've become so spoiled.  Back in the day they took one bath a week, usually on Saturday so you would  be clean for church and you better hope you were one of the oldest kids because the whole family used the same bath water.

I don't think one has to shower every single day either. I mean I live in a cold climate and during winter I usually take a full shower every other day and just wash my pits and lady bits in between. I don't sweat much, unless I exercise properly, and I wear clean clothes, so I know I don't smell. But if I was on a TV show, around near strangers all day and trying to impress a love interest, I would certainly make an effort to be as fresh as possible. It sounds like Britt's skipped more than a day or two. It must be pretty embarrassing to have someone tell you on TV that you need to take a shower, as if you were a kid.

How could I forget.  My Grandma used to wrap her hair in toilet paper to keep it from getting flat.  It really didn't work as it always looked a little rough by mid-week.

  There was a lady on The Doctors a few months ago who hasn't shampooed her hair in years.  They were surprised that it didn't smell and didn't look greasy.

My Mother-in-Law used to steal my cloth diapers to wrap around her head and sleep in whenever she babysat! I forgave her because I came home once and she was on a ladder scrubbing my kitchen ceiling....

Lets not forget that Britt is also in the pool probably every day. I don't think it's as bad as the edit is making it out to be. All the girls sit beside her, and you see them wrap their arms around her, when on the couch.... plus the way Carly was talking about it, she was laughing but she wasn't being unkind, criticizing or talking about her stinking... just not showering.

NEXT WEEK ON "THE BACHELOR" (2/2)
THE WOMEN TRAVEL TO SANTA FE AS SOME OF THE BACHELORETTES DECIDE TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO IMPRESS CHRIS AND GET A ROSE, ON “THE BACHELOR”

THIS WEEK IS A GAMECHANGER – EVERYTHING EXPLODES!

“Episode 1905” – Chris and the 11 remaining women begin their journey around the country to find love in picturesque Santa Fe, New Mexico. Carly is the lucky woman to get the first one-on-one date, but the couple has to survive a very awkward, intimate meeting with the “Love Guru.” Kelsey, already the focus of the other women’s animosity, stirs up more trouble when some of the women don’t believe her to be the sympathetic character she seems to be. A group date with nine gorgeous bachelorettes challenges them to ride the white water rapids of the Rio Grande River, but one woman falls overboard with perilous results. A stunned Chris is confronted by a rejected lady from his past who won’t take “no” for an answer. The Bachelor swoops in and takes Britt on a fabulously romantic hot air balloon ride, but is there something she is hiding from Chris to curry favor? Finally, Kelsey’s bid for attention goes awry, on “The Bachelor,” MONDAY, FEBRUARY 2 (8:00-10:01 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.

Chris and Carly meet the “Love Guru,” who puts them through a series of sexual exercises which leave them practically naked, putting their connection on a fast track. Will the sexual tension lead to an intimate connection or will the couple get cold feet?

Kelsey, who shares the story of her late husband’s death with the other bachelorettes, is considered the “Black Widow” and disingenuous in the way she is presenting herself. She vows, however, to do whatever it takes to win Chris’ heart.

Nine adventurous women accompany Chris on a white water rafting trip to the Rio Grande River for one of the wildest rides of their lives. The outdoor adventure quickly turns dangerous when one bachelorette falls overboard into the icy rushing water. Will Chris be able to help rescue her? After the mishap, the group relaxes at a local hotel and gets ready to spend a special night with the Bachelor. However, a woman that Chris previously said goodbye to returns to crash the party and attempts to get another chance to win Chris’ heart. Will the Bachelor comply with her wishes and risk the wrath of the rest of the women?

The next day, Chris sneaks into Britt’s hotel room in the early morning hours and whisks her away on one of the most romantic dates of the season: a hot air balloon ride as the sun rises. Part two of the couple’s passionate date might put this woman’s way ahead of the group. Too bad the other bachelorettes don’t think she is being truthful about her intentions.

Britt’s revelatory play-by-play of her date with Chris pushes Kelsey to make a secret visit to him that she hopes will insure her getting a rose. Will her heartbreaking personal story be seen as a desperate move for attention or will she gain Chris’ sympathy?

The already stressful cocktail party is thrown into disarray when a stunning twist brings it to a screeching halt.

The 11 remaining women are:

Ashley I., 26, freelance journalist, Wayne, NJ
Becca, 25, chiropractic assistant, San Diego, CA
Britt, 27, waitress, Hollywood, CA
Carly, 29, cruise ship singer, Arlington, TX
Jade, 28, cosmetics developer, Los Angeles, CA
Kaitlyn, 29, dance instructor, Vancouver, BC
Kelsey, 28, guidance counselor, Austin, TX
Mackenzie, 21, dental assistant, Maple Valley, WA
Megan, 23, makeup artist, Nashville, TN
Samantha, 27, fashion designer, Los Angeles, CA
Whitney, 29, fertility nurse, Chicago, IL

So let me get this straight... Britt gets Balloon ride 1/1, comes back & brags about napping with Chris and Kelsey goes to see him & this must be where she says "I know what you did & I forgive you"...(napping with Britt??) and Carly gets love doctor 1/1 with both she & Britt get roses. Then that leaves Ashley, Becca,Jade, Kaitlyn, Kelsey, Whitney, Mackenzie, Megan, and Samantha going on water rafting ride with one of them falling overboard ? who do you think it is? Kelsy collapses at rose ceremony bringing it to a screeching hault & he cuts Samantha & Makenzie.

IMO the producers want her there.  They sure seemed to focus a lot on her last week as the virgin wannabe princess

^^ She brings the drama.
