Erica Rose sequestered in LA by Bachelor Pad 2 producers after being lingerierebuffed & voted off
"Blake is saying that me telling him I packed sexy lingerie is the same as him telling me he brought a bunch of condoms, and I think he's right and I wish he had."
When Houston's own Erica Rose promised one-liners and comic relief on this season of Bachelor Pad 2, the sometimes-law student delivered. From her tiny crystal gavel to her hands-and-knees eavesdropping, from her hilarious lounging positions to her not-so-subtle seduction techniques, Rose was the most interesting part of the weekly drama fest.
So to see her get kicked off Monday night along with Blake after the two were tied to each other in an unlikely partnership was truly heartbreaking. We don't know if we can bring ourselves to tune in to Bachelor Pad 2 again now that Rose's thigh-rubbing, crazy-seed-planting antics won't be there to entertain us. Kasey and Vienna alternately crying, kissing and hating each other? So passé.

Holly and Michael's will-they or won't-they rekindle the romance plotline? Overly obvious; she's clearly checked out. And everyone else there — Kirk and Ella, Michelle and Graham — seems too normal and, dare we say it, genuine to make it interesting in reality TV-land.
The cast, which was divided into couples on Monday's episode and will from here on out be voted off — and win — in pairs, is currently sequestered in Los Angeles for the remainder of the season. Still, Rose remains upbeat, and tells us via text that she's excited for the Bachelor Pad 2 finale.
We're sad to see her go, but Erica's performance personality this season gives us the sneaking suspicion that while we've seen her end, we haven't seen the end of her, yet.
