The Bachelor: Ali Leaves the Show
February 8th, 2010 by libbles“The Bachelor” went on the hometown dates this week. He went to New York City to meet Gia’s family, to Williamstown, Massachusetts, to meet Ali’s family (including seeing her dead grandmother’s house), to Newberg, Oregon to see Tenley (who choreographed a dance for him), and to Sanford, Florida to see Vienna (the daddy’s girl).
Ali told Jake that if he asked her today, she would tell him yes and he gave her a big old kiss. However, she found out that her employer said she needed to come back right now or she’d be fired. Boring! We’ve already seen this on last season’s “The Bachelorette” when Ed left Jillian (then later came back and won the show). Of course, she told Jake and he was no help. He said he couldn’t promise her he would put a ring on her finger, but he also couldn’t look her in the eye and tell her he couldn’t.
Before the rose ceremony, Ali asked to speak to Chris and he led her back to Jake. She looked like someone had died when Jake said he knew what he wanted and what he wanted her to tell him. He finally said he didn’t want her to go, but she kept whining about not knowing what to do. When he told her he didn’t want her to leave again, she said, “I love you.” If I had had commercial time built up on the DVR, I would have fast forwarded through all this dribble and crying.
Ali finally told Jake she was so sorry, but she had to go, so Jake walked her out. He gave her another big kiss and told her he felt like she was slipping through his fingers, but he didn’t know how to stop it. She’s not going to return at the finale, is she? She did more crying in the limo after Jake closed the door. There was no rose ceremony, but Jake had them come and get their roses anyhow.
And of course, during the preview, we saw Jake pick up the phone and guess who it was? Ali.
