Bachelor Blog Brads Season Episode 9
SOUTH AFRICA LOOKS AWESOME!!! I want to go on a Safari now – really bad! Looks like I’m going to the store tomorrow to get a Safari hat.
So Brad picks up Chantal and they head off on a safari, along with a guide with a loaded gun. I’m glad she feels safe with him on this adventure, because I’m sure he has a lot of experience with the African Jungle, Lions and Tigers and Bears. What a cool date though, seriously. He still seems to be the most comfortable around her over anyone else. UH OH…. Fantasy Suite time!!!!!! Looks like dinner is over quick!
I like the tree house thing if they were not in the middle of an African Safari!!!! Nothing says romance like a tiger biting your face off in the middle of the night.
Emily’s date is next. Holy Elephant. I got to drive a Lambo on my show but never an elephant! Looks pretty fun actually. Emily is so hot. I thought what Brad said to her about her kid about the package deal was really nice and seems like he meant it. He really is nervous with her though. I feel like he is really afraid to hurt her. Fantasy Suite time again!!! “Lets talk” she says… mmmm hmmm. They seem more like good friends to me than a good couple. Neither one really opens up to the other very easy. They are falling in love with each other apparently though. I just don’t see them together.
Ashley is always so much fun. She really freaked out pretty hardcore about getting in the chopper. Though I think that was the coolest helicopter ride so far that I have seen on the show. That was so beautiful! Super cool. Go ABC!!! I mean, really. Whichever one of the producers that got to ride in the filming copter is super lucky. I like the fact that Ashley is really motivated and goal-oriented too. Brad seems to act like her dad on this date though. He is giving her fatherly advice. Their talk is really going downhill at dinner and Brad is asking some really hard and serious questions. I don’t think he likes the answers he is getting either. Awkward!!! Brad says “happy to be here” (rub on the shoulder) hahahahaha blah blah. Crickets. Big ass Safari crickets.
Fantasy Suite time again! I hate watching this huge fail of a date. Makes me break out in a nervous sweat watching this. Glad its over.
In steps The Man! Harrison. Nice watch Chris. So Chris has a little chat with Brad before the Rose Ceremony. Brad confirms that he is feeling a lot better at this point, than the last time he was on the show.
At the Rose ceremony Brad pulls Ashley away to talk with her in private leaving the other two girls to stand there alone. Tensions are HIGH! Their talk is exactly what it seemed like. A breakup. Wow. That was not what I expected but I like the way he did it. She was a really sweet girl. A really sweet girl with a really long flight to think about things. That’s going to be a brutal trip home.
So – two girls left!!! And, I like them both!. My favorite for him is Chantal. They have the best chemistry, I think. But I guess we will have to wait to see whom he picks!!!

I agree that they seem to have a solid friendship.. but I wouldn’t say there’s no chemistry there.
Also, brad said in a pile of interviews that he wants the person he ends up with to be a friend to him as well.
It’d be interesting to somehow see ALL the raw footage, without it being edited first. I think a lot of the focus has been on the physical-ness of the Brad-Chantal relationship, and the package-deal that Brad would get with Em.
my favorite for him is Emily! I like Chantal a lot too, but my pick was emily first and then ashley. But since ashley is gone, I want Emily to win. Your blog is pretty good!
I agree that he is definitely more comfortable with chantel but I think she may be a bit different after she has bagged him. Seems a little spoiled and needy. Emily is not only smoking hot but has morals and he already knows she will be a great mom. She is just scared of getting hurt but I’m sure her guard would go down if picked. Also think ashley was the right choice to go home she is young for him and in a different place in her life. Just my opinion ;o)
I agree! I think Chantal is the best choice for him.
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who sees that Brad & Emily just don’t make a good couple.
She’s sweet as pie, but it’s a no go, I think.
Chantal seems to be the only one he’s REALLY thought about the future with.
Hometowns, they were talking about where they’d live & if he had enough closet space in his house?? Really.. he’s gonna choose her, hands down.
I’ll be very disappointed if he chooses Emily, cause I feel like it’s just physical & it’s not fair to Ricky to get attached to him, when we all know it won’t work out.
The women tell all should be pretty exciting & can’t wait to see what you have to say about it. (:
The whole show falls apart when you realize that Brad wants a woman who will join him to live in Austin, Texas. That seems a really basis issue that should have come up well before getting down to the last three ladies.
