| First, some ado. With only three women left it's time for everybody's favourite game,
Meet the Friends-In-law. And now without further ado, I present this week's
screen caps: |

And we start off this week with the product placement for Marquis Jet Card. I
checked them out on the web, very cool. I know what I'm asking Santa for this year... |

Welcome to Plano Texas, home of the big... bulby-thing*.
* Yes I know it's a water tower, but that's not funny. |

"I'm so excited to be here in Plano I could almost yawn". |

"I walked in and met Tanya and the four finalists in the Tanya Look A-Like
contest that was being sponsored by Country 100-FM, Good-ol' Boy Radio". |

"Who's this hansom guy?"
"Where? I only see Byron". |

"Would you ever relocate?"
"Sure, I can live anywhere I want. It really doesn't matter where I live since
I'll be gone 330 days of the year either on tournaments, practicing for tournaments
or doing promotional gigs". |

"I was surprised seeing Tanya being so loose and having so much fun because
she's usually such a stuck-up bitch". |

A bar, beer, bimbo outfits, mechanical bull riding -- these gals are sure
living up to all of the negative Texan stereotypes, aren't they? I half-expected
to see them pull out some guns and start randomly shooting at things. Maybe that
part just got cut. |

"Plano is really boring. But I didn't much care 'cause I gots to wear me this
bitchin' hat!" |

"I was excited to bring him to my home and show him a part of me that he hasn't
seen yet".
Didn't he get to see all of your parts on the Fantasy Date? Wait, you have
parts that you left at home? Eww! |

"Let's do the running into each other's arms in slow motion thing".
"Yah, that sounds like fun".
"Omfh! Ow, that never hurts in the movies". |

"Woah, that was close".
"Do you want a helmet?"
"No, I want a cup!" |

"I'm a little disappointed".
"Why?"
"When you said 'Wanna go in the dugout?' I didn't think you were being literal". |

"So you're going to meet some friends of mine, Mark and his wife Lisa. They
have two beautiful kids and several ugly ones. But I should warn you, I used to date
Mark".
"Before or after he met Lisa?"
"Before! And that's my story and I'm sticking to it". |

OK, I have to ask. You're expecting ABC to come film part of a TV show in your
house, wouldn't you tidy up first? |

"I was kind of scared to have you come here, because they are The Interrogators".
"They're Super Heroes?"
"No, they work for Home-Land Security".
"Oh, so do you have a bunch of questions for me?"
"No, we already checked you out and a few questionable video rentals aside,
it's all good". |

Was it unseasonably cold that day? Were they filming at six in the morning? Was
there a deadly sand-crab scare? That's a nice looking beach so why isn't anybody
there? |

What is it with Cyndi and the dolphins? Every time she goes to the beach she sees
dolphins and then freaks out about it like it's the first time she's ever seen them? |

"Would you ever move to Hermosa Beach?"
I've just identified an issue with all the Bachelorettes being older that I hadn't
considered before. They're all established in their lives and don't want to move
(which is understandable), good thing Byron doesn't seem to care where he lives. |

"Iiiiiiah"
"Iiiiiiah"
Jeez, now my ears are bleeding... |

"I was so thrilled seeing my friends, my self-esteemed is so low that I need
their affirmation". |

"I need to steal him away".
"No way, I don't get enough time with him as it is".
"The producers said I have to, it's in the script".
"Oh, all right". |

"Why are you so nervous?"
"I've been bitten".
I guess it was a deadly sand-crab scare after all. |

"I've known Cyndi for a long time, and I've never seen her go ga-ga over some
guy. She's usually an unfeeling dating-automaton, just chewing guys up and spitting
them out". |

"We had such a great day. But now I need to ask him some really tough questions
and get myself kicked off the show". |

"Cyndi is this wonderfully beautiful woman who has all these great qualities,
but she's no Chris". |

Soon-to-be restaurant? It's a basement! If it wasn't for the lawn furniture ABC
supplied it'd be an empty basement. Am I being overly-cynical to think that Cyndi
went on the show just to get some free publicity for her new restaurant? |

"When you first walked through the door, I was like 'Oh my God'. Then when I
first talked to you I was like, 'Oh my God". Then we went on our first date
and I was like, 'Oh my God'. And then the first time you kissed me I was like, 'Oh
my God'".
Sarcasm alert! She is so articulate! |

"Listen to me for one second, listen with your nose! If you do not see a future
with me, do not give me a rose".
"OK sure, actually that makes my decision so much easier". |

"Cyndi is very aware of the fact that there are two other women involved in
this situation".
OK, how stupid would someone have to be to be on this show, get through six Rose
Ceremonies, and NOT know that there were two other women involved? |

"I'm happy, I'm happy, I'm happy, I'm happy, I'm happy, I'm happy, I'm happy,
I'm happy, I'm happy. Did you know that if you repeat something enough times you'll
start to believe it?"
"Really?"
"Yes. I'm happy, I'm happy, I'm happy, I'm happy, I'm happy, I'm happy, I'm
happy." |

ABC is so cheap! The women don't even get limos anymore, those are just Town Cars. |

"My last gasp talk with Mary is important because she's holding back. I know
she's been hurt before but I need to know that she's going to stop giving me crap
for stuff Blob did and only give me crap about stuff I did". |

"Cyndi has been worried about the other girls and a lot of stuff that's outside
of our relationship and I wanted to put her mind at ease, but the producers wouldn't
let me tell her she's not getting a rose". |

"While I've been spending so much time by myself in the last few days I've been
working on my Trish impression, what do you think?" |

And once again Chris is caught out Byron's package. |

"He's all mine girls, and you have no clue!" |

"Ladies, Byron my sweet, this is the final rose tonight. But don't despair because
we have a couple of dozen daffodils and chrysanthemums just off-camera".
Does anyone have any idea how hard it is to come up with new "Final Rose"
jokes each week? Thankfully that's the last one. |

"Tanya, will you accept this rose?".
Cyndi? That taste in your mouth is bile, just thought you should know. |

"Cyndi and I have a great Mathematics, no Physics. No that's not right, we have
a great... Chemistry! We have a great Chemistry, but you need more than just one
course to make a relationship work." |
