I'm a huge Dolly fan. Does this surprise you? You know what I love the most about her? That she's so honest. I love that she models her look after the town hooker when she was growing up -- because she thought "that was the most beautiful woman she'd ever seen."
She's committed. You have to love that. It was so sweet how excited Emily was to see her at Dollywood. And sweet that Arie held her hand while she rode her first roller coaster.
The highlight for me was Emily's girlfriends making the guys pose and dance to win their affections. My girlfriends would make a guy's life a living hell, and you have to appreciate that about friends. They truly want what's best for you and they see things you cannot.
I love her and Arie's connection. I think he's my fave so far.
You can't really see Dolly's boots in this pic, but DANG those babies ROCKED. I love me some boots! Boots with bling? Oh girl, you're speaking my language.

Emily says she feels like she doesn't have a whole lot of talents, but she is a good mom. I'm there with you Emily. I'm good at that too. Finding a guy who appreciates that quality? Not so easy.
Chris impressed the girlfriends on the group date. I'd say her friends were a wee bit lecherous, but maybe that's me. He got the rose on the group date. I just don't see the strong chemistry between her and Chris like I do with Arie or say, Jef.
Tony went home after the group date with kids proved too hard for a man missing his child. Sweet, and he wasn't really harsh enough for Emily. Not harsh in a bad way, just maybe too passive?
Worst line of the night was spoken by a man who proved himself beyond shallow, "If you get fat, it isn't that I won't love you, I just won't love on you." Note to XX: She will get fat because if it's such a worry for you, you will manifest it with your hateful attitude and lack of acceptance.
Kaylon, D-bag of the season, tries to act manly and admire her character for sending Tony home, but he has to admit that he thought his first child would be his own. Then, he tells her to shut up and let him finish. She's trying to figure out if she made a mistake and his words weren't really abusive. They were. Why do women always assume it's them? Listen to those signs, ladies!
Travis got rid of his Ostrich egg. Good call for knowing the jig was up. Alessandro is going home because he sees Ricki as a compromise. In the limo, he tries to make us believe this is his choice. He's going to live like a "Gypsy King" whatever, dude.
Arie comforts her and they share a moment. Awww. Chris and her also share a moment before the cocktail party. He's confident he'll be a great father and tells her Ricki would be his child. He has a good heart. I just don't see them together. Do you?
I like how she's weeding people out before we get to the rose ceremony. It gives Chris less air time. I can't appreciate that.
Stevie is the final man to go home. More importantly, my house is clean and the laundry is done, so my time was not totally wasted. Ryan calls Arie a "dainty man" while he's more physical. Um, no. Not remotely true. Ryan can go now. But he's not.
