Jakes loves to camp. Jake loves the outdoors. Jake loves not dressing up. Jack loves tacky themed motels. Is this the same pilot that 25 beautiful bachelorettes signed up to woo?
Welcome to week 4, where 9 lucky ladies remain. Just as the contenders are on the decrease, so too are the aviation puns. This episode clearly had a lack of them. Boo.
Instead of taking off in a private jet, the girls find out that they're heading off in a pair of RVs up the California coast. For some inexplicable reason, this elicits screams and jumps up and down.
Jake blazes down the highway on his motorcycle, and arrives first at a vineyard where he sets up camp - literally. He's an outdoors kind of guy, he explains, as he looks lovingly at his tent.
The ladies arrive and set up camp down the hill. Still no aviation references. Even the note card is a disappointment. All it says is, "Let's go over the moon and be under the stars" and that one-on-one date is given to Gia.
Jake wants to see how NYC Gia handles the big outdoors: playing hide-and-seek among the vineyard trees, dining on wine and cheese, and cuddling under a big warm blanket by a pre-made campfire. Surprise! Despite wearing stiletto heels, she passes with flying colors and that just knocks Jake's wool socks off. (To his credit, casually dressed Jake was wearing a nice pair of black 7 for All Mankind jeans.)
"I've absolutely had an absolute blast," Jake blubbers as he hands Gia a rose.
And before we head to commercial break, we see Jake toss a rose into a fire for the umpteenth time.
Next up is the group date at Pismo Beach with Ashleigh, Corrie, Jessie, Tenley, Ali, and Vienna. Jake greets them wearing his Ray-Ban aviator sunglasses and his Levi's, and tells them they're going to go dune buggying. There are three buggies in total, and Jake will be driving one of them.
And here is the SOLE aviation pun of the episode.
"I wanted to be his co-pilot," Vienna whines as Ali sinks her claws into the shotgun seat beside Jake.
But she quickly recovers. "Go ahead, I"m going to marry him so you go have your 30 minutes in a dune buggy with him."
Sand dune surfing follows, and Jake confesses about Tenley, "I just find myself drawn to her." We then see Jake knocking her over and pulling her down the sand dune.
They get cleaned up for dinner at the Madonna Inn. Well, the ladies get glammed up; Jake literally just cleans up. He is still dressed in his cotton casuals as the six come strutting out in their cocktail dresses and heels.
I'm sure the Madonna Inn is really pricey, but did anybody else think it was the tackiest, most outdated motel ever?
Jake spends one-on-one time with each bachelorette in one of the themed suites. Shockingly, the Cloud Nine room is not used - I was sure that Ali was still there.
Ali? Ali, are you there?
I am truly disappointed. There are 110 themes in all at this Inn, and not one is of an aviation theme. Yet there is a Tack Room, a Barrel of Fun, and a Rock Bottom. Tenley manages to impress amid all the visual chaos, and wins a rose.
Moving on to the next date. It's a two-on-one dinner date with Kathryn and Ella, which means one of them will be sent home that night. Jake arrives to pick them up, and Ali remarks, "He looks so sexy in his lumberjack get-up." Was that before or after she noticed the big elbow patches on his brown plaid shirt?
Both ladies lack the fuel for the long haul with Jake, and are sent home. The others are shocked and - get this - are seemingly distraught. Why? Shouldn't they be happy that their odds of staying are that much better?
And if you thought they recycled or composted the roses, heck no. Jake dramatically tosses the unclaimed rose from the two-on-one date into a waiting fire. Yes! The moment we had been waiting for finally makes sense at last. But where did that fire come from?
Rose ceremony. All the remaining girls are burning bad for Vienna to go home. Did Jake send her home? Of course not. Instead he hopes that Jessie and Ashleigh enjoyed their flight on Rose Air, because it is now over for them.
