It’s week 2 BBs and that means the first dates!!! We get to start to learn all about these ladies’ personalities!
First up is a group date. ABC makes all the girls dress in bridal gowns. I tell ya, ABC LOVES to put Bachelor contestants in wedding dresses!!! This time it’s not the standard photo shoot though. Instead they are all invited to their own pretend wedding reception. Taylor and Jess are already not getting along! The bride who impresses Joey the most today will win the first dance with him. Each of the women spend time with him mingling with guests and doing wedding reception things. Then they play musical chairs and when I tell you Evalin LEPT like a gazelle over the table to claim her chair!!! Well, it was a sight to behold! Joey’s jaw dropped to the floor! And so did mine! Thing is though, Lauren was already sitting in the chair Evalin jumped the table for, so Ev landed right on Lauren!!!
Speaking of Lauren, she’s been sad all day because her father recently died and the fake wedding brought up all these emotions for her. Rachel wins the first dance and they sway and smooch to Michael Bolton singing.
At the after party Maria pulls Joey aside to chat one on one. But before they can even speak she says she needs to change into something more comfortable. The girl is currently wearing a V V low cut white mini dress that she exchanges for a black low slung skirt and a barely there bra top! Talk about a calculated seduction move!!! She and Joey spend the rest of their time together making out, natch.
Jess and Joey sit down to talk and she gets emotional saying she really lost herself in past relationships. Then Lauren shares about her dad with Joey. Jess gets the group date rose.
Daisy 1-1
The next day is Daisy’s 1-1 date. They take a helicopter to the Beach Life Ranch music festival. They explore the festival then are called up on stage during a song where they dance and smooch. Daisy is so cute! Her sundress is adorable and her dress that evening is perfect and ladylike! That night over Fake Dinner, Daisy tells Joey all about how she was sick with Lyme disease and then subsequently lost her hearing and now has a cochlear implant. Joey is just the most respectful, kind, gentleman with his reaction. He asks about her health now (it’s good!) and tells Daisy how much he admires her. V supportive!!! Daisy gets the rose.
Next is another group date. The girls are all in athletic wear and Jubilee and Demi (from past seasons) lead the ladies in Bachelor Boot Camp. They all do a bunch of exercises then are told to change clothes and they are split up into teams- pink and blue. It’s a paint battle. The girls have to steal a stuffie heart from the opposing team and bring it back to their base, all the while getting pelted with paint bombs! The winning team is the blue team but they are told only one of the girls will get one on one time with Joey! Edwina (the true MVP of the day) wins. The rest of the group is sulking. Edwina and Joey hang out for a bit and she gets the rose.
Meanwhile, back at the house, Madina is sad and emotional about being older than Joey. She’s 31 and the oldest contestant. Maria then says that she(Maria) is old too.
Cocktail Party
Sydney decides to get involved in the age discussion and it becomes a whole tiff about tone.
Evalin gives Joey a denim jacket she hand painted for him. It’s v well done! Lauren is all upset because she hasn’t had time with Joey yet tonight and she’s watching all the other girls come back in the room from chatting with him. Joey goes and finds Lauren to chat and she’s in a FOUL mood now. Practically the first thing out of her mouth is that she’s going home! Producers bring her a small cake that she had ordered to share with Joey since she didn’t get to talk with him at the fake wedding. It was supposed to be a red velvet cake but it’s vanilla. Lauren throws a FIT and smashes the cake on the ground! What a child! She leaves.
Rose Ceremony
Allison is emotional over her sister Lauren’s departure. Rachel gets the first rose and Sydney gets the last. Going home: Erika (cute hair!), Marlena (who??), and Taylor.
Until next week BBs!!! 🌹 xo
