The Bachelor: Officer and a Gentleman

After 10 seasons of The Bachelor and three seasons of The Bachelorette, Chris Harrison informed us tonight that only four couples are still together. In addition to our newest couple, Charlie and Sarah are happily living together in Los Angeles; Byron and Mary are cozy in Texas and will wed in the fall; while Trista and Ryan have been married for four years and are expecting a little one at the end of the summer. And on a bittersweet note, my favorite bachelor of all time, Andrew Firestone, recently proposed to his girlfriend, which sadly means he is once again off the market.

In years past, the reunion show meant we got to see all of the ladies one last time, as they rehashed their feelings with one another and fired uncomfortable questions at the bachelor. Tonight's gathering was much smaller and much more subdued, as we were only privy to seeing five of the original 25 women from this season.

Amber, Danielle and Steph T. were the first three to grace the stage with Chris. As these women were treated to a recap of their journeys on the show, I noticed that Amber seemed to be handling her flashback segment pretty well, while Danielle appeared really hurt during hers, and Steph, well, Steph kept pursing her lips in a way that made me think part of her was still as peeved as she was the night she got booted. If only we could have seen a Q&A segment with her and Andy — something tells me that would have been fun. Instead, we basically learned that all three women are looking forward to moving on with their lives.

Next, Bevin surfaced, or perhaps I should say hobbled in. Yes, it looks like Bev really did manage to break her ankle after all. So not only does she have to wear a cast (albeit a really cool pink one), she's still obviously dealing with the hardship of letting Andy go. She choked up a number of times tonight as she spoke about the obvious chemistry she had with Andy and the confusion she still felt over what went wrong. Always taking the high road, though, she maintained that she was happy for Andy and Tessa and was eager to find her own true love.

When Tessa entered the scene, she appeared to be glowing. In between kisses with Andy, she spoke of the difficulty she had to endure by keeping the outcome of the show a secret from everyone, including her family. However, the topic of that rumored "confession" that allegedly took place between her and an undercover reporter a few weeks back was never mentioned. This would have been the perfect opportunity for Tessa to address that story, but she didn't. Instead she mentioned that she still had no idea what it means to be a military wife. Obviously, these two still have a long way to go before they swap vows.

So while we did learn a few more things about both Tessa and Andy tonight, one question still remains: Will they make it to the altar? They admittedly have not yet set a wedding date and from this point forward, it sounds like they plan on taking things very slow. My thought is, if Tessa really does manage to make the move to Hawaii, these two might just make it down the aisle... someday.

"I freakin' love you." Nothing quite captures the true essence of love like those four magical words. Tonight, it seemed like Andy freakin' loved everything. By professing his love to both women during their final dates, I really thought Andy had gotten himself into a pickle.... But alas, the one woman he chose to turn away in the end chose not to say anything to him at all.

Earlier in the night and despite the rumors suggesting that Tessa was the chosen one, I found myself thinking Bevin would be the one flashing the bling at the end of this episode. I had myself convinced that the story that broke a few weeks back was just a ruse, created by the show's producers to lure us into thinking one thing, only to turn the tables on us in what would surely be branded as "the most shocking rose ceremony ever." Seriously, I keep expecting that one of these times something really will shock me at one of these gatherings....

The hometown dates in Lancaster seemed to go pretty well for everyone. Andy's family embraced both women and let him know that regardless of his decision, they would support his choice. While Gus, Andy's grandfather, seemed to like Tessa best — "... she would have really appealed to me in my youth" — his grandmother seemed to favor Bevin, as she offered these words of advice to Andy's second guest: "Make it happen. We'll help." Sure, Andy's a nice catch and all, but I have to tell you, it was his grandparents that would have sealed the deal for me. Those two were so cute, and knowing that they've been married for 60 years just makes them that much sweeter.

Back in Hawaii, Bevin got a serious case of the nervous giggles when Andy told her they would be taking a ride in a helicopter. Prior to this point, I always thought of Bevin as somewhat of a fearless spirit, so her hesitance to fly the friendly skies surprised me. And was it just me, or did it seem really awkward when Andy later posed this question to her: "What do you need most from a man?" I know he was just looking to find out what mattered most to her in a relationship, but the way he put it came out sounding funny.

Meanwhile, Tessa and Andy took a romantic horse-ride along the beach and frolicked in the water. Their date ended with Tessa really opening up and letting Andy know that he made her feel like the person she always wanted to be, and that she didn't want to go back to the life she had before him. For Tessa, that was a huge step. The collage she gave him was also a thoughtful touch and would certainly serve as a nice reminder of all the things they had been through together, as he prepared to make his final decision.

In the end, Andy had nothing but wonderful words to say to Bevin. He even told her that he would "never, ever forget [her]." However, it was Tessa that he confessed was closest to his heart. As Andy promised in countless interviews, he did get down on one knee and propose to Tessa — and despite rumors to the contrary, she did accept.

So, where does that leave us now, you ask? Tune in tomorrow night and find out what the future holds for Andy and Tessa on The Bachelor: After the Final Rose, at 8 pm/ET.

By now, most of you have probably read or heard that one of the remaining women spilled the beans about the finale. While I can't confirm the outcome of the show, I can tell you that each of the women on The Bachelor had to sign a confidentiality agreement worth more than a few million dollars. What that means is, unless they have some change to spare, the critical details of the show are supposed to remain under lock and key (at least until the season runs its natural course). Now, I won't mention names for those of you who are still in the dark about the "confession," but we are now down to the final two and the woman in question is still in the running. While I have a hard time believing that this particular woman could make such a careless slip to a stranger, it does appear as though the show may be heading in the direction it has been rumored to go. Only time will tell, and time is running out fast!

But, let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet....

Tonight, Andy gave all three women a taste of his Hawaiian life. The first stop for all of them was the USS Arizona Memorial, where the ladies were able to take in a little of our nation's history. Danielle was quick to mention that she had no idea what it would mean to be a military wife, but that she would "do anything to find out what it takes." However, it was a touching moment with Tessa that had Andy envisioning his future as a husband, with her by his side.

Speaking of Tessa, I have to admit, I was really jealous of her date with Andy. The two of them had the opportunity to experience a zipline adventure over a gorgeous tropical forest. I can't even imagine what the adrenaline rush must have been like, but it looked like a lot of fun! The trek they made across the suspension bridge also looked pretty amazing. The fact that Tessa was so willing to partake in the thrill of it all really impressed Andy. As he said, he likes that she's a "rough and tumble" woman with a "tomboy" side. I guess it also doesn't hurt that they bring out all of that glorious goofiness in each other, too. That whole bit about "what should you do if a shark comes up to you?" had me laughing. The weird little dance Andy engaged in at that moment can only be matched by the amusing vision I have of Tessa attempting to KO a shark. These two definitely make an interesting pair.

However, just as I was about to search for the Andy and Tessa bridal and gift registry, Andy had to go and confess that he felt an "immediate connection with Danielle," and further alluded that everything was finally coming together for them now. They certainly had a romantic date too, complete with dolphin- and whale-watching, snorkeling (with lots of underwater canoodling) and quality time with a psychic. Well, I guess "quality time" might be a bit of an overstatement, since she wasn't able to foresee Danielle getting the boot tonight (so much for the dark horse theory, eh?). However, she was able to offer some profound advice to Andy, when the topic turned to the stressful choice he would soon have to make: "How would love decide? How would fear decide? Let love make choices."

Next came Bevin, who once again brought the "electricity." Honestly, I don't think there has been an episode yet where Andy hasn't made that comment about Bev. Though I will say these two are quite passionate with each other. So, I was surprised when Bevin accepted the invite to go back to the private suite with Andy, on the condition that they use the time to talk and get to know each other better. Hmmm. What else would they do in a breathtaking room filled with a thousand candles and rose petals?

Inevitably, the next rose ceremony was lurking in the not-too-distant future for Andy, and he called in his buddy Gatsby to help him clear his head. Only, I'm not so sure Gatsby really helped him out. If anything, I think he just reiterated every word Andy said. Somehow though, Andy did make his decision and he chose to let Danielle go.

That leaves us with Tessa and Bevin, duking it out for the final rose. Will the rumor prove to be true? We'll know next week....

Long before Andy ever left L.A. to meet the family and friends of the four remaining women, we already knew that Amber's date was doomed. The previews pretty much told it all. So, was it really a surprise when she was the one left heartbroken at the end of the night? I don't think so, but the ultimate reason she was let go could still be debatable. Andy suggested that they seemed to be at different places in their lives, which Amber took to mean she was too young (despite their hot-tub conversation weeks ago, when Andy told her age didn't matter). Truth be told, age did seem to play a role in Andy's decision tonight, but also knowing that Amber's parents didn't approve of the whole Bachelor process could also be to blame. Andy seems very family-oriented, and it wouldn't surprise me if he had doubts about getting serious with someone when the potential in-laws were already ruling him out.

Luckily, Andy's other dates showed more promise on the home front, starting with Bevin, whose family seemed to easily accept Andy into their world. In fact, I don't recall a single awkward moment between Andy and Bev's parents. Call it excellent editing if you want, but I think the success of this date was real. Andy even left that night saying, "These are my type of people." And here I feared that Bevin's earlier confession about having been married before might put a damper on things! That was definitely not the case and I think this hometown date was a slam dunk.

Next, Andy found himself in Connecticut with Danielle. This hometown date had some intense moments, especially when Danielle's dad told Andy, very matter-of-factly, that he is "the provider and protector" of the family. Although, once these two started banging on the drums together, everything else seemed to fall into place. Andy's belly-dancing could still use some work though. What remains is that Danielle is still a dark horse here, but it's obvious that there's something very real going on between her and Andy.

Tessa's hometown date kept Andy on his toes. When Andy wasn't facing the firing squad, led by Tessa's best friend Samantha, he was busy trying to find out if Tessa genuinely liked him. It really felt like Andy was pulling teeth to get Tessa to say the things he wanted to hear. Which left me thinking that maybe Tessa won't be around after next week. It's tough to say, but Andy already mentioned that Danielle is "the most invested" and Bevin brings the electricity whenever she's around, so Tessa will have to start laying her feelings on the line soon, if she wants to be in the final two.

Next week, Tessa, Bevin and Danielle get to check out Andy's digs in Hawaii.

Tonight, Andy and the six remaining women spent some leisure time together on the yacht, before kicking off the next round of dates. It was truly shaping up to be a beautiful day at sea, until Tina told Andy he had something caught in his teeth. Had she only left it at that, I think I'd be OK. Only she didn't. Instead, she proceeded to pick his teeth for him! I think I was more grossed out about it than Tessa and Amber, who were sitting just inches away when it happened. Even Andy didn't seem too fazed by her forwardness, but I can't help but think that act didn't play some small part in why Tina did not get a rose tonight. OK, maybe I'm just reading too far into things, but it did seem a little much for her to do, when they've only known each other for a few weeks.

Bevin, on the other hand, managed to make the most out of this group outing by suggesting a little one-on-one kayaking with the bachelor. That left poor Steph and Danielle standing on the deck, with nothing better to do but watch as Bevin and Andy bonded at sea. It's a good thing they didn't witness the makeout session that occurred later between these two, or someone might have ended up overboard. No, I don't think Steph and Danielle would have resorted to that, but it was pretty clear that they were getting tired of seeing Bevin monopolize Andy's time.

However, Steph did get her chance to work in some time alone with Andy, when the two of them headed out on their solo date together. Since there was no rose at stake at the end of this date, the pressure was off. Andy was looking for Steph to open up more to him, as the two went about concocting their own special blend of red wine. While it looked like they were enjoying themselves, it also sounded like there was a lot of awkward conversation. Steph found herself unable to tell Andy what drives her to get out of bed every day, or what her future career plans entailed. For someone like Andy, who proclaimed himself "a planner" and "a dreamer," it was painfully obvious that her responses were just not up to par.

The next date brought Amber, Bevin, Tina and Danielle together for a good cause. Their mission, along with Andy, was to transform a school playground into a more kid-friendly environment. The end result was amazing to see and the kindergartners at the school seemed to agree. This was, by far, the most rewarding date to watch. Andy and the women seemed to reconnect with their inner child and everyone came together as a team, leaving behind all of the cattiness and jealousy evident on other dates.

Next, Tessa got her chance to spend some quality time alone with Andy. Her date note simply told her to "Come as you are, I'll take care of the rest." Tessa did just that, by really opening up to Andy and simply being herself. Meanwhile, Andy made good on his end by lavishing Tessa with diamonds and a beautiful dress to wear on their evening out. These two seemed really comfortable together, and I think it's becoming even more obvious now that Tessa will most likely be one of the final two.

At the rose ceremony, Andy spent some time with each woman before making his final decision, which allowed us the opportunity to learn what he really thought about each one. He mentioned that he thought Amber could be immature. He noted that Danielle could be a "lifelong friend" rather than a lifelong partner. With Bevin, he mentioned again the "super electric charge" he feels whenever he's around her. When it came to Steph, Andy noted that their one-on-one date did not go as well as he had hoped. With Tina, it was obvious that Andy felt less of a connection with her than with some of the other woman, such as Tessa.

In the end, Andy chose to give roses to Bevin, Amber, Tessa and Danielle.

Next week, the ladies bring Andy home to meet their families. For better or for worse, you know it's going to be a fun ride!

This week, Andy and the remaining nine women headed off to Lake Tahoe, where gorgeous slopes, a romantic inn, and hot tubs awaited them.

Shortly after arriving, Nicole, Stephanie W., Bevin and Danielle were told that they would all be a part of the first group date. With little time to prepare and a general lack of sleep, the pressure was mounting. Bevin even broke down and cried in the bathroom, upset by the fact that her wounded ankle was making it "so hard to do anything." Luckily for her, the other women stepped up to the plate and helped her get ready for the night. It was a noble effort on the part of the other girls, but it also made them noticeably late for their date with Andy.

Once everyone managed to come together that evening, it was painfully obvious that Bevin was not enjoying herself and Andy was quick to call her out. In private she told Andy how upset she was that she had to hobble around on crutches and that she feared it would keep him from being able to get to know the real Bevin. One makeout session later and I'd say she has nothing to worry about. Well, except for pissing off the other three women who were also on that date, most of whom thought Bevin was just milking the situation for all it was worth.

After cocktails, this group headed down to the casino and the general mood lightened. Everyone except for Nicole got a chance to spend a little one-on-one time with Andy, before he chose to spend the last part of the night in his suite with Bevin. It was at this point that Andy claimed, "I'm a nerd," and Bevin was quick to suggest she was one, too. If I wasn't already convinced that these two are deeply connected, hearing Andy tell Bevin, "You're my sanctuary," pretty much sealed the deal for me. I have a feeling Bev's got a proposal in her future.

Ah, but before we can get to diamond rings and all of those fancy things, there are still a few more dates to be had. The next group date was pure entertainment.

First, Andy gave all of the women a skiing lesson, and Kate was quick to let the world know that she hates snow. She was also quick to spill her guts to Andy about the other women in the house. Stephanie T. proved to be her biggest target, when Kate told Andy that she felt Steph was "molding herself" into the woman she thought Andy would want to marry. Not to be outdone, Stephanie T. then spent her private time with Andy trash-talking Amber. Tessa and Tina took the higher road and admitted that there is tension in the house, but they never pointed fingers at any one person. Perhaps if Kate and Steph had done the same, they wouldn't have gotten their walking papers tonight!

Next came the one-on-one date with Amber. Talk about stressing over a date! I know fancy editing can often make a situation look like something it's not, but it definitely looked like all Amber could talk about was what she should wear that night. The evening definitely came together for her, though. Amber and Andy had a nice dinner by a romantic fire, and their night ended pretty passionately in a hot tub. Amber also secured her rose that night, so I'd say she did all right.

Which now brings us to the rose ceremony.... I'm disappointed that Andy chose to let Nicole go. I thought she seemed sweet, but I definitely think it hurt her that she didn't get to spend any alone time with Andy on their group date. I was not sorry to see Steph T. go, and I think it's probably best for all of the other women that Kate also left. So that now leaves Andy with Amber, Tessa, Danielle, Bevin, Tina and Stephanie W.

It won't be long now....

When I heard that the ladies were going to take part in a mini boot camp tonight, I was fully expecting to see them have to sweat it out on a tough obstacle course. Somehow, I think they got off a little easy. Well, maybe not all of them. Bevin did take a nasty spill during the tire drill and managed to fracture her ankle. Luckily for her, Andy wasn't far from the scene and was able to swoop in and save the day. OK, so he didn't really save the day, but he did initiate the call for an ambulance, and Bevin did score a rose out of the deal. Come to think of it, she also became the lucky recipient of a fancy watch, courtesy of Andy. OK, I don't feel so badly for her anymore.

Once the ambulance left, the drills were over and the remaining ladies retreated to the house. It was there that Chris Harrison informed them that there would be two group dates this week and one two-on-one date. The latter date would end in one woman receiving a rose, while the other would be sent packing.

Things got downright dirty on the first group date, when the two Stephanies, Nicole, Amber and Tina found themselves at a mud spa with Andy. Hmmm. Five ladies in bikinis, frolicking in mud. I wonder who came up with this date idea? But I digress. It could have gotten nasty, there could have been some real mudslinging tonight, but there wasn't. In fact, everyone seemed to be having a really good time. Tina was the only one that mentioned feeling out of place. I thought for sure that that was an indication she might be going home this week, but it was not.

At the end of the first date, Stephanie W. was awarded the "special" alone time with Andy. To say that Stephanie T. was not pleased by Andy's choice would be an understatement. In fact, I think this was the first time Stephanie T. showed any kind of fear that Andy might develop feelings for someone other than her. It's a good thing she didn't see the sensual massage Steph W. gave Andy, or she might have blown a gasket.

Speaking of gaskets, the next date landed Kate, Danielle, Erin and Amanda on a racetrack. Bevin was supposed to be on this date, too, but for obvious reasons had to sit this one out. All of the women did a great job of navigating their way through the course — even Erin, who before that day had never driven a stick-shift car before. However, it was Kate that managed to "scare the bejesus" out of Andy. Hey, at least those were just cones she was hitting!

At the end of this date, it was Erin who scored extended time with the bachelor. Her reward was a ride in Andy's silver Saleen S7. Apparently, that puppy can go from zero to 60 in 2.8 seconds and you, too, can own one for just a smidge over half a million dollars. Not bad, eh? All car talk aside, the two really seemed to connect during their ride down the highway, and Andy took that opportunity to let Erin know how much he really liked her. The feeling seemed to be mutual, but somehow Erin ended up going home tonight anyway.

With the two group dates over, it was now Peyton and Tessa's turn to romance the bachelor. Andy took the ladies on a tour of the USS Midway and gave them a glimpse into his professional world. The date seemed to go really well for everyone. In fact, the only scary part of the night was seeing the mannequins on the ship. I just know I'm going to have nightmares tonight!

Despite the pleasant evening, it was the end of the road for one of these two ladies and ultimately, it was Tessa that Andy chose to whisk away in a helicopter — which pretty much left Peyton on the ship, in the dark, with really sad music playing in the background. I just hope she got home OK. Kidding, of course.

So this brings us to the rose ceremony. I thought for sure Stephanie T. was going to get her walking papers tonight, if for no other reason than the polka-dot dress she chose to wear. Yikes! But she survived another round, as did Amber, Tessa, Danielle, Steph W., Tina, Kate, Bevin and Nicole.

This week, the remaining 15 ladies moved into the mansion together and, in my opinion, they have now officially entered into "The Bachelor Bubble." By that I mean, when they are not on a date with Andy, they are essentially cut off from the outside world. At the mansion, the women are not allowed to read books or magazines, watch TV or even listen to the radio. As we were told, that stuff makes for dull TV and I would agree. Already, we can see that the tension is building. And with hidden microphones in almost every room of the house, you won't miss a thing.

A group date to the Sunset Strip kicked things off tonight. Andy and seven of the women hopped on a bus and took in the sights before taking turns riding a mechanical bull at a local bar. Tessa was the first one to fall off the bull and feign an injury, in an attempt to get Andy to rush to her side. It worked, but I think Andy was more impressed by Stephanie W., who managed to hang on the entire ride and not fall off.

The first date didn't end there, though. After the bull-riding, Andy led the women to a hotel room (no, it's not what you're thinking), where a number of gorgeous evening gowns were hanging on racks (see, I told you it's not what you're thinking). He then told each of the women to pick one and meet him outside on the deck. Without a mirror in the room, the women had to rely on each other to help them decide on which gown to wear. Surprisingly, none of them took advantage of this golden opportunity to sabotage each other and they all hit the deck looking beautiful. What followed was essentially a mini cocktail hour. Nicole got to dance with Andy; we learned that Alexis was homeschooled. Bevin started getting jealous that she still hadn't scored one-on-one time with Andy. She made up for that later, though, when everyone ditched their duds for bathing suits and the two of them got chummy in the pool.

However, it was Tiffany W. who scored the special, extended individual time with Andy that night. They definitely made a cute pair in the limo together, as they rode off to their special spot for alone time, but Andy called their time together "awkward" and questioned their chemistry. It's too bad, too, because I really thought Tiffany was in it for the long haul. Oh, well.

The second group date put the next seven women to the test, literally. As a world-class triathlete, it's pretty clear that Andy is looking for a woman who can keep up with him. So, these seven women had to compete in a mini-triathlon. My favorite part of this date was when it came time for the women to swim laps in the pool. Erin and Susan took to walking their laps, while everyone else swam. Meanwhile, Danielle took an earnest lead in the competition, until Amber managed to outrun her at the end. Amber's prize was alone time with Andy on the beach and it certainly looked like they hit it off. In fact, Andy referred to their private time as his idea of the perfect romantic setting.

And last, but not least, came Stephanie T.'s individual date. Long before it even started, she was super-confident that she was going to get another rose before the evening ended, and she was right. Despite being the least liked woman in the house, Andy sure seems to be enjoying her company. The two of them shared a lovely evening on his yacht, and he didn't even seem to panic when Stephanie asked him what kind of wedding he would like to have. In fact, he seemed to be quite comfortable discussing his ideal setting in Hawaii. Go figure.

Later that night, Stephanie returned to the mansion and announced that she had indeed gotten another rose. However, she neglected to make much of the romantic kiss she shared with Andy, which later became a hot topic of debate among the other women.

Next came the rose ceremony, and things were definitely less dramatic this week. In the end, Andy sent Alexis, Tiffany and Susan home. That now leaves us with Stephanie T., Tessa, Danielle, Bevin, Amber, Stephanie W., Kate, Nicole, Tina, Peyton, Amanda and Erin.

Now, there's one last thing I have to mention.... This past Sunday, I had the pleasure of enjoying my Easter dinner with one of Andy's former elementary-school teachers. It was purely a coincidence, but I still took the opportunity to ask her as many questions as I could about Andy. To sum up our conversation, it sounds like Andy is the real deal and a genuinely good person. So, whoever ends up with that final rose will be one lucky lady.

Tonight we finally got to meet the new Bachelor, U.S. Navy Lieutenant Andy Baldwin, M.D. By far, he's the bachelor with the most impressive history to date, and he's certainly easy on the eyes. Aside from being a doctor, he's also a world-class triathlete and when he says he can't wait to be married and have kids, it really does seem genuine. So what can we expect to see this season? Judging from the promos, we know he'll pop the question to one lucky lady, but we can also expect a lot of drama along the way. As we witnessed tonight, the claws are already coming out and we still have a long way to go. So let's get started....

As a participant in the second season of The Bachelor (yes, it's true — I wouldn't make this up), let me start off by saying that what you don't see in this first episode is all of the chaos that goes on behind the scenes. In the days prior to meeting the Bachelor, the women are caught up in a whirlwind of activities. Interviews, photo shoots and drug tests are all part of the preparation process, and in some seasons of the show, the women weren't allowed to cross paths with one another until the first night. It's both exciting and exhausting. So when we finally see these 25 women on the night they meet the Bachelor, they've already been through an obstacle course. Which in part is probably why emotions are already at such extremes.

But enough about that.... Let's take a look at this season's participants. One thing I noticed right away is that there are a large number of women from the South. In fact, I counted six women from Texas alone, and if my math is right, Andy kept all of them! One of those women, Amber, also made it to my list of candidates who will probably make it far in this process. Amber is the fourth-grade teacher who bonded with Andy over talk of children. But it was Stephanie T. from South Carolina, who managed to claim the first rose of the night, much to the dismay of the other women, especially Lindsay. Yes, remember Lindsay? She was quick to get catty over Stephianie's rose, but her exit from the show was even quicker, when she realized she was not going to get one of her own. Judging from her words, Lindsay was pretty angry, but I think her tears proved she was more hurt than she wanted to admit.

Among the other women ousted tonight was Linda, who I sensed was on her way out the second she suggested that she doesn't always make a good impression on people, and Blakeney, who attempted to impress the Bachelor with a rap song. I guess he just wasn't that into her, or rap music.

Other keepers included Peyton, who, like Andy, was also celebrating her birthday tonight. There was also Nicole and Tiffany W., who were the masterminds behind the tequila cake this evening. As aesthetically undesirable as that cake turned out to be, Andy didn't seem to mind and I happen to think that Tiffany W. may be the last one standing this season. However, she'll still have to face the competition with the other remaining women, who include Stephanie W., Bevin, Kate, Alexis, Danielle I., Tessa, Susan, Amanda, Erin and Tina.
