Looking for Love - Day Two

Despite the fierce competition, all the guys seemed to get along so well.  Maybe the Compatibility Ceremony would shake things up a bit.

Lyndsay dressed quickly, prepared to put her trust in this process and give the bachelors the benefit of the doubt. 

"Good morning!" she greeted them as she headed into the bachelors' room.  It seemed highly unusual for the Bachelorette to head into the mens' room! 

She headed straight to Conrad to trash talk Sandy again. 

Conrad recoiled when Lyndsay held her hands out and told him to slap them.  What kind of tomfoolery was this?  "I would never hit a woman!" he told her

"Would you all get your butts out of here?" Griff growled, staking his claim. 

Seriously, these guys were all in there trying to shoo each other out.

Conrad snuck in while Griff's back was turned.  

"Are you quite finished?" Griff asked impatiently.

Xavier won points for being the first bachelor to head downstairs to use the toilet without a line.  

Lyndsay looked down at the gelatin questioningly.  "Do you think it's still good?"

"Sure, gelatin lasts forever!" Xavier assured her.

Too bad there wasn't a breakfast buffet.  Lyndsay would've loved pancakes, crepes suzette and some lovely toaster pastries.  She sighed and shoved some overnight gelatin in her mouth.

"WHAT IS HE DOING IN THERE?" Kampol asked nervously, twitching from side to side.  

"I think he's taking a bath. Wanna play catch to keep your mind off of it?"

"Sounds like a great idea!"

He wasn't sure, but he might've eaten a fly., so Xavier headed to the bathroom to brush his teeth.  Never knew when there might be some kissing!

"OMIGOD! OMIGOD! OUTTA THE WAY!" Kampol hollered as he raced back inside. He never should've gone so far away from the bathroom.  He was perilously close to having an accident and embarrassing himself.

"GO!" he shouted when he saw Xavier flossing his teeth.  

"What's the hurry man? Geez," Xavier said as he slowly walked out of the room. "Take a chill pill!"

Thankfully, Kampol did not disgrace himself.  He sighed with relief.

Douglas and Xavier were goofing off while Jake and Conrad had a little bit of breakfast.

Griff made an effort to appreciate Lyndsey.  "Your necklace looks lovely," he told her charmingly.

"Aw, thank you!" she beamed, preening.  She then made sure to smear Sandy's good name.  It was her goal to make sure no one in Boolpropville wanted anything to do with that homewrecker!

"Dude, trust me! There will totally be kissing!" Douglas promised. 

"Good thing I brushed my teeth!" Xavier announced eagerly.

"Has anyone told you how lovely that necklace is?" Jake told Lyndsay, trying to ingratiate himself.

"Your necklace brings out the color of your eyes!" Conrad said appreciatively mere minutes before the noon bell rang. 

It was time for the first Compatibility Ceremony.  Lyndsay would need to decide which bachelor she had the least connection with.  Her gaze darted around as she nervously made her selection.

"Xavier, your time on the Looking for Love Challenge has ended.  Please pack your bags and return to town."

It had been a close call between Xavier and Douglas, but she thought there might be something more, deep, deep inside of Douglas and she was willing to give him a second chance to show her.

"I guess when it comes down to it, I really didn't put my best foot forward," Xavier admitted with chagrin.  "I probably should've tried to impress the guys less. Live and learn!"

Lyndsay was excited for the afternoon dates!  This was exactly why she'd chosen to do this challenge - to get to know someone and see if they had anything in common!  She slipped into her swimsuit and jumped in the love tub.

The guys raced to beat each other for a seat on the group date.  Conrad, Holden and Griff snagged the covets spots.

While Jake, Kampol and Douglas missed out.

Lyndsey enjoyed the next few hours, getting to know the bachelors a little bit better.  They were really starting to open up!

She shrieked with surprise when Holden playfully smacked water at her, then splashed him back with a laugh. 

Lyndsey took some time to chat with everyone, asking them the important question: "What do you consider the most important thing in a relationship."  She made sure to ask the same thing so she could compare their answers.

 

She frowned when she overheard Douglas saying that the first date should require kissing.  Griff immediately displeased her when he told her that shoes were the most important thing.  What in the world was he thinking?  

 

If she had to rate them, she thought the best conversations were between Kampol, Holden and Conrad. 

Dinner time!

Griff attempted to smooth over their miscommunication earlier.  "I didn't mean SHOES were the most important thing.  Just that fashion was important.  A smart dresser gets much further in life," he explained.

Say it, don't spray it, Lyndsay thought, leaning back a smidge and trying to dodge the food flying from Griff's mouth.

The guys had gotten bored waiting for Lyndsay to finish talking to Griff and had all hopped in the love tub. Apparently they had to be TOLD to come eat.  

 

"I'm so hungry!" Douglas whined.

Lyndsay had just finished washing her plate when the guys came bustling inside and jostling over the buffet table.  "I think it's bed time for me," she said, obviously not loud enough to garner their attention. 

 

She cleared her throat and raised her voice. "I SAID GOOD NIGHT!"

 

The obtuse bachelors paused their conversation at the loud announcement and all echoed good night as Lyndsay headed upstairs.

"What was that about?" Douglas asked with a small laugh.

Tomorrow would be better, Lyndsay promised herself.
