A Trip To Cabo San Lucas

Date time. As Brad is VO-ing about how he has the fantasy-suite card and talking about how Bettina is attractive and "super-hot," the camera pans over to a picture of…Frida Kahlo. Hilarious! Okay, the tile says "La Frida" under it, so it's probably just the name of the dining room, but still, that is some bitchy juxtaposition by the camera crew. Well done. Anyway, Brad wonders if there's "substance" between them, but they'll see.

At the table, Bettina starts spinning her family's crappy behavior like a top, claiming that their only concern was whether Brad was into her, since she was "obviously, obviously falling in love" with him. Which is just not true, any of it -- and frankly, I'd have more respect for her family if I thought they'd sabotaged the hometown visit because they knew she obviously wasn't falling in love with him. Not much respect, because they were still rude, but more. But they…were just rude. Rude, creepy snobs who, according to our forum detectives, didn't get their fancy-pants professorships by passing spelling tests.

Bettina is nearly laughing during this recitation, probably because it's "the dog ate my homework"-level transparent in its falseness, and Brad is like, "Okay, no, because I spent the whole time trying to convey that I do feel that way, and they didn't want to hear it." I don't think he feels that way either in the first place, but let's move on -- to Brad asking Bettina how her family would feel if she moved to Austin, and how she herself would feel about it. She's waaaay too quick to say that it's no problem at all; Brad doesn't believe her, based on the lip-bitey body language he's got going on. Bettina saves it somewhat by saying that if they "leave here together, it's a no-brainer" to her, and Bradterview claims that it's just what he wanted her to say at that moment, but he still hopes that, "removed from a formal situation, she can be more herself." Brad…this is herself. She's a daddy-whipped head case and you shouldn't have let the producers tell you to ignore that fact last week. Still, he invites her awkwardly to the fantasy suite, and she accepts with awkwardly fake enthusiasm.
