Lisa <3 So sad to see her go. I really wanted her to go the week Josie left, but I am glad she stayed. She was good fun. It's also tragic Josie didn't get to stay longer, she was the true gem of the show.


I'm really caught between if Brooke or KJ will be the chosen one.

Anyways, the preview gave away who won immunity:

[[ Brooke wins. Like last week, they have all the girls lined up for elimination minus the girl who won (last week Amanda wasn't seen). So aka, Brooke is safe and has won another challenge. <3 ]]

ITA - They are not portraying them in any kind of positive light, that's for sure! Like you, I originally thought Amanda would win too, [[and a spoiler somewhere says she does. You know he is attracted to her.]] But I see Brooke pulling ahead now. I'm rooting for her. I just hope it's NOT Christa! If KJ wins, it will be because he is selecting his "best friend." I think there is that kind of chemistry between them. He feels very comfortable with her.

With all of these shows, especially Beauty and the Geek for me, I wish the eliminated ones could "stick around," but not participate in the challenges. I'd love to have Josie's input in PI's on everything going on!

In all honesty, I don't see a connection between Matt and any of the girls. Brooke doesn't even appear like she 'likes' him at all. It's weird dynamics

[Arielflies]

What I got from this week's show is that Ashlee is soooo ready to go home and that, without Lisa, Brooke will come into her own. Kanisha is getting the biggest hugs and longest kisses, and we found out Amanda can cook. What is more important on the farmer's wife scale...someone who can shear sheep or someone who can cook. Kanisha slipped just a tad with the "no cooking...hard to read recipe problem. Brooke also slipped up in that department. Amanda shone. This is becoming a see-saw of who shines and who declines.

We don't see all the interaction Matt has with the girls, but we do see if there is a connection. Right now, he has some sort of "romantic" connection with everyone except the mature (haha) Ashlee and the untried Brooke.

I'm sorry Seacharm, but hunting is part of rural life. I grew up in a hunting family and my brother, who now lives in Montana, hunts every season. Because of a couple of handgun incidents, I won't go near guns anymore, but, as a child, if you wanted to be included in family activities - you hunted and you fished.

I really enjoyed seeing the town fair with all the local flair. I thought it was so cute that Amanda sat between a couple of kids (one a boy) on the Merry-Go-Round and later was seen hugging him goodbye. I thouhgt, uh, oh Matt...better watch your laurels...that kid looks to be stealing one of your girls. Did you notice that the whole crowd turned around before the name in lights went off...when Matt said "turn around" both they and the girls turned around. Made it seem as though the "rejectee" was not alone in this. And the pie judging. Brooke's comment about "they are like Simon Cowell" cracked me up.

Looking forward to next week!

I really thought Ashlee was homeward bound this week, until Lisa completely blew off the socializing aspect of the county fair. I knew she was toast then. As for Ashlee, I agree that she is so ready to leave. I still think that Amanda is the one to beat, but if she doesn't and Brooke pulls this out I want to see what case of foot in mouth disease she developed to lose her chance to hook up with Matt.

I love this show its so pathetic I am like so impatient to see what is going to happen next. I don't know if anyone noticed but last nights episode Matt was hugging KJ a lot longer and even told her she didn't need to give him a ticket to get a kiss.. He'd give it to her for free. I was like hmmmm I don't know if she's the F2. To be honest I see he is going on some date with Christa which I presonally can't stand. She is so judgemental of other people it makes me sick to my tummy. But anyway I hope its between Brooke and KJ. I think he'll pick Amanda though Which IMHO I think will kinda suck because she's part of the three witches of the house.

[[ ewwww I hate that hag. I thought it was obvious from the first episode that she would win. However, I figured since she was being portrayed so badly, she wouldn't. I <3 dating shows but that's the one thing I can't stand, they always set it up so it's the "boring" and "nice" girl verus the person who is apparently a bitch and not well liked. The boring nice girl always wins, it's so old.

I'm not crazy about her any more either. And I hope it's Miss B. Remember when last night she told him after he chose Ashley, something like "you really don't like me," and he said something like "hang in there"? Could be he's saving the best date for last! [[Another poster said there is a screencap of them kissing in a boat.]]

In one recent article or interview, Matt wouldn't say if he found "his wife," but he did say he would be watching the show with "someone." I'm beginning to think it might be his sister (who has a beautiful name). But then I remember we haven't seen everything. He seems like too nice a person to not take this somewhat seriously. I don't think we'll see a ring, though. Just please don't let it be Christa. I haven't seen her be anything but sarcastic to the other girls. If she "wins," I give up!

I’m glad to be back, I was on a business trip last week and the hotel tv didn’t have the CW! But I caught up on last week’s episode online-We saw KJ get a date, Stacey get booted for not fawning all over Matt (did she learn nothing from Krista? Show more than you feel ladies!), and the rest of the girls still picking on Lisa and Brooke. I was also horrified to see them pouring the (hopefully fake) moonshine all over those barrels. I’ll admit it-half of what we drink around here is ‘shine and that’s a cardinal sin, especially if it’s my favorite, cinnamon apple. Anyway, this week is a bake off and the county fair. Plus, Brooke won’t kiss Matt on the lips and he wonders why.

Today in farm world, the chickens are jumping around, the cows are mooing, and Brooke and Lisa are still reading their Bible. Through absolutely no coincidence, they are reflecting on a passage that says to not gossip, and Kanisha jokes that it is like the good girls vs. the bad girls. Actually, it seems to be the Bible beaters vs the Three Musketeers (Christa, Ashley and Amanda) with Kanisha as the lone wolf. The Three Musketeers are on the porch talking strategy-they decide that if one of them wins immunity it’s a sure bet that either Brooke or Lisa will go home. They also are starting to see KJ as a threat, but decide it’s more important to get Lisa or Brooke out first.

Matt arrives to take the girls sheep shearing, noting while a neighbor demonstrates that some of the girls look worried. It’s probably the sheep who should be worried, and you know that they are dumb animals when they don’t run in terror from the girls. While KJ is working on her sheep, Matt makes jokes about the shears having a moisture strip. Not to be outdone, Ashley cracks one about Brazilians, much to Brooke’s horror. Everyone manages to keep their sheep alive, although Lisa is noticeably nervous during the activity.

Back at the house, Matt reveals the next activity-he’s sending them to Miss Donna to learn how to bake. Kanisha craftily asks Matt what his favorite pie is, but it really doesn’t matter since they’re baking his favorite, apple pie, anyway. Some of the girls are nervous, Ashley likes this more than mucking out stalls, and Christa makes a very dirty joke which probably shouldn’t have made it past the CW editors but did and made me laugh. And no, I’m not going to repeat it. If you didn’t get it, that’s probably a good thing.

Miss Donna is this awesome little old lady with Carrot Top red hair, big buggy eyes and drawn on eyebrows. She hands out recipes after cautioning them that the pies will be judged at a fair. Frankly, a recipe is cheating in my opinion, but some of the girls still manage to mess up. (I will say that I’m impressed that they made the crusts…I messed up crusts so often that I buy them premade now) Lisa can’t manage to even roll the crust out, whining obnoxiously, and Brooke manages to not read labels and dump in a whole lot of nutmeg instead of cinnamon. Rather than let these girls near her oven, Donna says she will bake them herself and gives them tea. For some reason, Christa turns into Suzy Homemaker in her confessional and talks about wanting to have dinner on the table when her husband gets home. Quite the change for the girl who likes her Starbucks on every corner.

At home, the Three Musketeers get down to the important part-drinking. I guess they needed something interesting to fill the Josie-void and brought in the Bachelor elves because they are doing straight shots and get pretty silly by the time Matt knocks on the door. Poor guy gets roped into the drinking games, and one of our non-drinkers, Brooke, is suddenly holding a beer bottle and participating. Now I’ve played beer pong and over such games, but they play some that baffle me. One seems to be Matt asks a question that they all must answer (his? Would you be ready to get married shortly after the show. Amanda says she’d want to be in the relationship for awhile and Lisa says she doesn’t know). The other is that they must answer a question with a question, and in the middle of this one, Ashley says something that the censors do catch but shocks everyone. Matt notes that he wasn’t expecting sexual innuendo during a drinking game and I wonder what he WAS expecting. When he leaves, Ashley realizes her mistake and cops to being embarrassed, figuring she’s going home.

The next day is the fair and Matt picks up the girls claiming that he wants to get to know Ashley better after her comment the night before. At the fair, they wander around playing games and eventually make it over to the bake-off. Frankly, the pies look scary and I wouldn’t touch them. Lisa even admits her pie probably won’t taste good, and I admire the judges even more for not running. The first few pies seem to be okay though, but then it goes downhill. Lisa’s crust is hard, Kanisha didn’t put enough butter in hers, and the fact that Brooke used about a gallon of nutmeg is obvious. It comes down to Ashley and Amanda, and Amanda takes it.

They have a little more time to enjoy the fair where they meet Matt’s father and sister, and I have to say, good looks must run in the family because the sister is as gorgeous as Matt is. A few of the girls take the time to talk to the relatives, but Lisa is looking around for some cotton candy. They also head over to the kissing booth where all the girls get the chance to buy a kiss. It’s interesting to see the kisses-Amanda gets a long one, KJ seems to take control of hers by yanking Matt closer, and of course we know Brooke only kisses him on the cheek, making Matt wonder what’s up.

Eventually it is time for elimination, and Farmer Matt pulls out the Bachelor script by talking about how hard the process is. This week, the choice was obviously made in advance of the immunity challenge because a bunch of fireworks are set off, spelling the loser’s name out in lights-it’s Lisa, who takes it rather well. Matt felt that she would be out of her element on a farm (isn’t that the point?) and that they didn’t have a connection.

On to more fun things though-it’s Ashley getting this week’s date! She’s surprised and relieved, but Brooke is visibly fuming, causing Matt to tell her to hang in there.

Before she leaves, Lisa gathers the girls together to apologize for offending anyone and try to make friends, a move which Christa mocks in her confessional. No one, not even Brooke is really sad to see her leave, but Lisa says she’s going to put even more time and energy into the Lord when she gets home.

Date time! Matt shows up being chauffeured by his buddy in a vintage convertible that absolutely makes me drool in envy. The other girls scream in envy as well, although Matt doesn’t quite fit in wearing a mustard yellow jacket. On an interesting side note, Christa tells Ashley “Bye Mama,” as they’re leaving, which makes me smile because that’s what I call one of my closest friends.

The date is at Miss Donna’s restaurant, where Matt admits that he chose Ashley for this date because she came off as more mature than the others until her drunken swearing. She cops to being ashamed and explains the incident by claiming that she had been hiding her frustrations and worries until they came out in a way that’s not typically her. They eventually move to the porch and begin drinking, which might not be such a good idea. Unfortunately for Ashley, the alcohol never loosens either one up, and most of the date consists of them saying things like this: “So……we’re finally on a date.” It’s pretty awkward and Matt wonders if they have anything in common. When he takes her home, he pretty much runs her to the door and doesn’t give her a kiss.

While they were on the date, the other girls keep themselves occupied by tossing an egg around. (I think they’re getting too bored) Of course one eventually breaks and Christa offers Brooke money to lick it up. It’s good for us that Brooke is a little dumber about bets than Kanisha-she actually gets down on the floor and licks it. They also grill Ashley on her date when she gets home, quickly getting to the fact that it wasn’t very good. Most are pretty happy- “I’m not here to make friends, I’m here to win Matt.” Does anyone know if Fleiss took over mid season?

Next week we get to see a talent show, a bonfire with Truth or Dare, and Kanisha losing it due to the stress.

Maybe she wants their first kiss to be 'special"?

Glad to have you and your recap back, pretlildev! I really missed it. Still loving this cute show!

[xmaskat]

Thank you for the recap! Our FOX affiliate kept breaking in every few minutes with severe weather alerts so I missed the majority of what was going on.

I really can't picture any of these girls wanting to live on a farm and be a farmer's wife.
