'The Bachelorette' recap: Already getting hot and heavy

Episode two jumps right into where we left off -- at the mansion with Britt, the girl who gives free hugs on Hollywood Boulevard, and Kaitlyn, who told Prince Farming he could "plow the f--- out of her field anytime."

They are spending the final minutes of alone time with the suitors, hoping to woo them and impress them enough to vote for one of them to be this season's Bachelorette.

I can't believe that is an actual sentence, but it is.

THE BIG REVEAL

Things get exciting when Chris Harrison pulls Britt outside and tells her in his best Ryan Seacrest voice that she's not going to be the Bachelorette. Britt looks genuinely surprised and in response, Chris tells her the vote was "very close" which seems comparable to telling the kid that sat on the side of the field during a soccer match eating grass that, "you still get a participation ribbon" for being there.

He escorts her to the limo, and here come the infamous tears. Too bad she didn't bring the Kleenex from Tanner, who Britt called Smiley when she first saw him. She gives the same tearful speech every girl who has ever been sent home in "The Bachelor" limo gives and tells us that she is confused, exhausted from being alone and that her only life dream is to be a wife and mother.

Someone needs to give Britt a free hug. Also, has anyone ever interviewed the ABC limo drivers? I feel like there is something there.

Anyway…

After what seems like 20 minutes of Britt being sad on camera, we are back at the mansion with Chris Harrison now approaching Kaitlyn to share the news. Kaitlyn tries to greet him with a hug but is denied, so that he can, again, do his best Ryan Seacrest by telling her with a compassionate expression, "I counted the votes and unfortunately Kaitlyn … (break for long, dramatic pause) I had to send Britt home. You're gonna be the Bachelorette."

I secretly smile to myself for all of humanity that a knock-knock joke was an effective form of seduction.
