The backstabbing on this season of The Bachelor is at an all-time high, and these guys are sure getting their boxers panties in a bunch over the fact that one of them has a girlfriend (Hello, Wes).  As usual, there is a lot of lame dialog exchanged, but the gorgeous scenery in Whistler helped to make up for this fact.  The episode opened with Breakdancer Michael, who has made no mistake about his feelings for Jillian, getting his first one-on-one.  He dropped a few awesome (read: really, really bad) one-liners, such as this doozie:  "I'm a cheesy-ass helpless romantic" and "That was the first little spark of awesomeness."  Jillian came back with "He's like a puppy dog," and yet somehow tried to make it sound like that was a good thing.  Ya know, cuz nothing says love like comparing someone to a young dog who whines a lot and poops on the floor.  Surprisingly, he did nab the rose.  Apparently, Jillian is keeping him around for a reminder of just how awesome she is.

The rest of the guys, save Jesse, who got the second one-on-one, got to go snowmobiling, which would seem really manly except for the fact that one of them had to "ride bitch" on the back.  Robbie got to be even more emasculated by riding on the back of Jillian's snowmobile, and secured some alone time with "Jilly," all the while the other guys talked trash about him for his immaturity and heavy drinking.  Hey Pot, it's kettle.  You're...like really, really black.  

Jillian continued to make a fool of herself by not seeing what the rest of pretty much everyone sees--the fact that Wes is using her.  He got some alone time with her as well, and she confronted him in a really lame "I want to believe everything you say" kind of way.  Satisifed with his answer, she told cameras that she is sure of his attraction for her.  Ouch.  She proceeded to say that she likes that he is "kind of a bad ass."  If by "bad ass" you mean a total slimeball, yeah--I can see that.  

Later, the guys gathered around an ice bar, while a few of the guys took Jillian aside to get some one-on-one time, including Kiptyn.  Jillian has just a wee bit of trouble concealing her obvious love and lust for Kiptyn, as she proceeds to giggle like a little school girl, and they swap a record amount of spit.  Reid, who got his alone time with Jillian next, told her that she smelled good, and she proceeded to ask, "What do I smell like?"  I couldn't help but think that the answer was Kiptyn's saliva. 

Ed then dropped the bomb on Jillian that his boss asked him what the eff he was still doing there, and gave him a job-or-love ultimatum.  Jillian, who also gets a little giggly wiggly around Ed, although not to the Kiptynite level, was definitely disappointed.  She gave Ed the rose from that day, and said she would understand if he had to give it back.  Ultimately, he did, and she definitely proved that she was not, after all, okay with it.  She bawled her eyes out, and even had a little snotzkies coming down her face.  Ed tried his best to give his most genuine "I really wish I didn't have to go" spiel, but I don't think anyone was buying what that guy was selling. 

Jillian's one-on-one with Jesse included a plane trip to the top of a glacier, where the two had a very Dumb & Dumber-like scene in which they proceeded to kick the crap out of each other, and, at one point, Jesse even took out her legs.  It was actually a really funny scene, which was promptly ruined as Jillian declared that "This is prime real estate for falling in love."  They later had the token gratuitous makeout scene in the hot tub, after which Jesse declared her voice "arousing."  What the what!? 

In the end, Ed decided to be a real azzhole and keep the rose, so Jillian only had one guy to get rid of this week.  Surprisingly, she kept Tanner, who has now only become known for his foot fetish and throwing guys under the bus, and it was Italian Food Engineer...er...Pizza Entrepreneur Mark's time to say goodbye.
