The Bachelor Canada Recap, episode 5: meeting the parents
Dear Brad,
Wow, things are getting serious all of a sudden. It seems like only yesterday you were watching 10 girls perform terribly awkward cabaret routines, and now you’re making hometown visits? For some reason this particular rung on the Bachelor ladder (meeting parents and adorable babies and such) really tugs at our heartstrings. We dare say you’ve never been more adorable than when you were holding Kara’s sister’s baby—but this letter isn’t about praising you, Brad. It’s about offering advice on the life-altering decisions you’re making. So here goes.
We knew Gabby wasn’t getting that rose, so let’s not waste time on her other than to say that it’s nice that she volunteers with senior citizens and her hair is like a beautiful chocolate river.
Now for the girls who are left. We know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the best option for you is adorable, outdoorsy Kara. She’s sweet and giggly, and seems to be your match on so many levels. We’re worried though—during your date you asked Kara if it bothered her that you two were so similar, which sounds a lot like you’re setting the mental groundwork for her future dismissal.
Bianka is opening up quite a bit. I mean good golly she even told you what her favourite flavour of ice cream is. (A note to you both: our favourite flavour is mint chip too, so maybe we should all marry each other!) But again, you’re not going to pick Bianka, are you? You’re going to pick Cruella.
In fact, this whole show has felt like a bit of a ruse—it’s pretty clear that Whitney’s had you in her demonic clutches since that first night. Could her face have been any more scowly during that insanely uncomfortable family dinner? Again we say she’s in it to win it, and will not make your sweet, charming, baby-loving heart happy in the long run, Brad. Our guess is we’re not alone here. (Just to prove it, we invite all Bachelor Canada fans to vote on who Brad should end up with, below.)
No doubt you noticed that when Gabby got the boot she gave both Kara and Bianka big hugs goodbye (do those three almost look like triplets, or is it just us?), and then totally ignored Whitney. You do NOT want to marry the girl who gets left out of the group hug.

P.S. Most people wouldn’t describe a full-body Lycra suit as “flattering.” Never change, Brad.

I seriously hope brad picks Kara,I can settle for Biance, but whitney?
What is ti about these girls that no one likes that mkes men want them. Courtney and Ben, Jake and Vienna..but Brad they never last, choose a sweet heart like Kara, forget completely forget that vodoo smiling intense whitney witch…why do you like her? She can hardly talk….did you not learn from Jake and Vienna?
So glad Gabby is gone! Never understood why she even entered for the show cause she seemed to be there to be nasty and to receive attention.
Whitney is too cold and that god awful stare she gives you is enough to turn any man off I would think. My thought is
Bianca first, if not then Kara seems a good match
Whitney has been hanging around Earls a bunch, where Brad used to work if any of you want to read anything into that.
Why does everyone hate on Whitney?! She’s confident and goes after what she wants. Which makes her sexy. Gabrielle was more of a witch, she always had negative things to say about the others. The women should be in it to win it, its a competition to be the last woman standing. Its impossible that the show actually allows for Brad and one of the women to figure out if they could have a relationship that would end in marriage. So if there is some sort of connection fight to get the final rose to continue the relationship and see where it might go….
whitney?
only the ugly chicks remain! I think Brad should turn gay and call me to give his sausage a massage!
Whitney is all about the physical; her clothes are painted on. When they went bobsleddng she commented about how cute his bum would look in the jumpsuit. She is all about the superficial and since the camera showed his oddly shaped behind in that red suit with what looked to be little love handles, I really get the sense that that put her off. Must admit, her father did have a very strong physique and I’m guessing that she’s interested in the gene pool. Cann’t deny that she and Brad share electricity but where will that leave them when that fades? She is not a conversationalst, seems insincere, incapable of befriending other females and is very self-serving. She can’t articulate her feelings simply because she doesn’t have any.
Now that the decision for Brad to let Kara go home, where does that leave us. Does he really pick Whitney and if so —– BIG BIG mistake, as she is not a keeper. or should I say stayer. She s totally not into him and you can tell from early on in the season. Why does he not see it. Kara totaly was the most compatible. Bianca — who knows where her head is really at. All the best Brad, but lets face it, another bachelor eventually to bite the dust and go on empty handed….. makes you want to pull your hair out.
Brad really has a thing for the intense types. Ok so I think it’s Whitney and OMG..Houston we have a problem!!
