Bachelor Pad September 5, 2011 Labor Day episode pegged the remaining contestants as pairs in a NearlyWed Game challenge to see how well they all know each other.
Here is a full recap of the show:
“COUPLE UP!”
Chris Harrison came into the mansion at the start of the show and told everyone that from this point forward, each contestant will have to pair up to compete and that each will now be voted off as a couple. Chris also suggested that the couples get to know each other really well for the next comp which will be a knock off of the Newlywed Game.
THE IMMUNITY CHALLENGE
The contestants coupled up as Michelle Money and Graham Bunn, Holly Durst and Michael Stagliano (Holly stuck to her promise to finish the game with Michael), Kasey Kahl and Vienna Giradi, Erica Rose and Blake Julian (since they were the only unmatched people in the house), Kirk DeWindt and Ella Nolan.
The contestants coupled up as Michelle Money and Graham Bunn, Holly Durst and Michael Stagliano (Holly stuck to her promise to finish the game with Michael), Kasey Kahl and Vienna Giradi, Erica Rose and Blake Julian (since they were the only unmatched people in the house), Kirk DeWindt and Ella Nolan.
All couples started learning about each other except Kasey and Vienna who said they already knew each other well, so, they headed to sleep instead. As it turned out, Kasey and Vienna should have studied because they failed the game pretty badly. Just to show how badly they fared, one question asked Kasey to name the quality Vienna’s ex’s miss about her. So, of course they both focused on a physical trait instead with Vienna saying her boobs and Kasey saying her teeth. Her teeth? Really? No comment.
Couple of other notables from the game: It became very clear that no body likes Blake in the house as all negative questions ended with Blake as the answer. Well, except Holly of course who said the one house guest she would want to sleep with is Blake. Ouch for Michael since his answer to the question of who Holly wanted most was “Me/Michael!” [Make sure you all come back to CelebMagnet when Bachelor Pad finishes as I will have a full interview with Holly to find out if she and Blake are still together or whether she and Michael patched things up.]
The two teams of Michelle and Graham and Erica and Blake were tied most of the game. And then when Graham gave a ridiculously crazy answer about how old he was when he lost his virginity (7), it became clear that he and Michelle had a pre-arranged system for answering every question the same (for example both of them saying “7” whenever a question required a number answer) and that is why they ended up winning–by one point. Amazing that Erica and Blake came so close to winning without cheating.
MICHELLE AND GRAHAM’S DATE
Michelle and Graham won the competition and got a romantic date and immunity and got to take a helicopter ride to go to a screening of the movie, What’s Your Number? in a swimming pool. How amazingly romantic is that? Apparently the two of them agree because Michelle was quite smitten with him and he said of her that there is no one better than Michelle and he wants her in his life for a long time. By the way, Michelle and Graham are now “closer than ever.” Click here to read their update after the show.
ERICA AND BLAKE’S DATE
As runner-ups, Erica and Blake also got a “romance mission” date where Erica planned to seduce Blake away from Holly and end up in a “missionary position” because she felt horny. Holly came into the kitchen right before Erica and Blake left for their date, dressed in a sexy bikini, and Blake looked shell shocked and tongue tied!
Erica started the date by telling Blake that her astrologer told her that she will make it to the end and will have romance on the show. So, she hit on Blake full steam ahead. She said she brought “really sexy lingerie” on the date and asked him to spend the night with her. Blake told her that he’s already made out with too many women on the show and does not want to look like a flip flopper. Blake compared Erica bringing lingerie to him having brought condoms to the date and she said she wished he had. Wow, she does not mince words. When Blake continued to refuse sex, Erica called him disgusting for not respecting his partner. At the very least, looks like Erica needs a new astrologer.
ERICA AND BLAKE’S IMMUNITY ROSES…TO GIVE AWAY
In addition to a lack of sexual chemistry between the duo, another problem for this couple was that finishing second meant they were given two roses to give away to another couple to keep that couple safe. This of course decreased the pool of couples eligible for elimination down to three, increasing the odds that Erica and Blake would be going home.
Erica and Blake confronted Ella and Kirk and said they would save them if they would vote for them to stay. Right then, Kasey and Vienna walked in and guaranteed Blake and Erica’s safety with their alliance if Erica and Blake gave the roses to Vienna and Kasey. Erica and Blake decided to give the roses to Kasey and Vienna.
MICHAEL KEEPS TRYING FOR HOLLY….
Michael told Holly he’s fallen in love with her again in the house and said they should try again and give their relationship a third chance. Holly said she feels like the bad guy for not running back to him and that he’s had three months to call her at home and he hasn’t done it. Holly said she has waited forever to hear what Michael is telling her but she has now checked out like he had done with her before.
Holly later confided in Ella and said she’s tired of everyone in the house telling her to get back with Michael when he broke her heart so badly before. She admitted she was confused because she had the best date with Blake and her eyes light up when he walks into the room.
VIENNA AND KASEY FIGHT..AGAIN..
Vienna and Kasey had another fight because the two are extremely sexually frustrated. Apparently, Kasey ripped his promise ring off of Vienna’s finger when she refused to have sex with him in the mansion. Who else found it extremely funny that ABC had subtitles for Kasey but not for Vienna whenever he spoke. I am starting to understand what the message board Kermit the Frog comparison to Kasey means.
ROSE CEREMONY
The women voted on behalf of the couples. Erica and Vienna voted for Kirk and Ella to go home. Michael walked in on Holly kissing Blake during the rose ceremony (BAD STRATEGIC AND TIMING MOVE BLAKE, REAL BAD!) and Michael went to Graham and Michelle and told them he cannot vote to keep Blake after what he saw. As a result, Michelle went to Kasey and Vienna and said they don’t trust Blake so, they’re voting for Blake and Erica to leave. The deciding vote eventually came down to Michael and Holly and of course the two could not agree on who to vote for with Holly wanting to keep Blake. Michael left the decision to Holly and asked her to have his back. Holly went to the bathroom to cry and Ella walked in on her. Ella told her that Michael would understand however way she votes. Holly said she did not want to hurt Michael but also wanted to stay true to herself and keep Blake here. Unbelievably, she voted for Blake and Erica to leave…..sealing Blake and Erica’s fates…
