The Bach product placement, week 3 recap

This week was DRAMATIC! Thanks to a group of seriously bitchy girls. Fo real.

I do not understand why they were freaking out so much about the return of Shawntel. Don't you want your husband to love you, no matter what? If you and Ben are seriously meant for each other, adding one more girl to the group would not change that. He will choose you in the end because he has fallen in love with YOU, despite the dozens of other girls throwing themselves at him.

The comments made this week made me embarrassed to call myself a chick! Thank you saynotocosmo for the perfect depiction of this debauchery:

WOW Erika! Not nice. Did you pass out because you suddenly realized that America was going to see your true colors, and your crazy lip tattoo? Or was it because you were carrying around so much extra weight from those gold chains on your dress? I was not sad to see you go, although I did feel bad for your extremely awkward goodbye with Ben, and his "nice to meet you" farewell. Ouch.

Courtney was just as bad, calling Shawntel "whatsherbutt" and being blatantly rude to her face. For someone who pretends to be so self confident, she sure has shown her true colors these past couple weeks. I hope it was just the alcohol talking and these girls aren't actually this mean spirited.


I'm a model, yo!

Kacie is still my fave, because she had so much fun on the "ski" trip even though she really sucked, and I didn't hear her say one mean thing about Shawntel. She is too sweet. I also really like Emily, but not so much for Ben. He doesn't seem to like her as much as some of the other girls, but I just think she's really cool, especially how she handled herself with Courtney at the rose ceremony. I'm sad to see that from the previews, it looks like Emily is the one who goes to Ben with "someone in this house is a totally different person with you than she is with the girls." These chicks always get sent home, doesn't she know this?!

Good for Ben for not giving out the final rose, if he wasn't feeling it. Wasn't too shocked that it didn't go to Erika or Jaclyn (seen here at her best), but I actually was surprised it didn't go to Shawntel. He must have done that for Courtney's sake, since she made it abundantly clear that she was only open to sharing Ben with 12 other girls, not 13.

beautiful, inside and out

PRODUCT PLACEMENT AT ITS FINEST
I thought it was weird that The Bach kept talking about his "Leap List" and that Rachel even knew the definition of it, explaining to the girls that it's a "list of things one wants to do before a big milestone in their life, like getting married or having kids."

"Really?? This is a thing?" I thought. "Man I must really be out of it..." Until I googled "Leap List" and found that it was actually a term made up by the Honda marketing team, taking product placement to a whole new level! Check this out:

Honda CRV's Leap List Website

Do you remember The Bach and the girls driving to their "ski trip" in their brand new CRVs and actually saying that on camera, and going on and on about the photos in the dashboard? This is all making sense now... let's all create our Leap List and buy a new CRV!!! Looks like we'll be seeing more of this during this year's Superbowl, too.

Side note to the Honda team: I think the idea of creating a list of things you want to do before you get married is so odd- I cannot think of one thing I can't do now that I'm married that I would've wanted to do before I got hitched. Sky diving? Vacations with the girls? Skiing in the summer in San Fran? Climbing up a bridge? All things I am perfectly capable of doing as a married woman. But I'll make my Leap List anyway just because I'm home in bed and if The Bach has one, I should too ;)
