Bachelor Week 5

BBs, this week we’re picking right back up with the Rose Ceremony from last week. Maria is still emotional over Lea being mean. Lea gets the last rose.

Going home: Edwina (😢) and Allison.

Now we move on to Andalusia, Spain!!!

All the remaining girls are seated at an outdoor table when Joey rides up on a Vespa scooter. He sits with them for a beat then takes Kelsey A. for a 1-1 date. This makes Kelsey T. emotional and a bit jealous. Kelsey A and Joey ride the Vespa for a while around the city then do some walking and have a picnic. It’s gorgeous there! All cliffs and arched bridges and cool architecture. That night, over Fake Dinner, Kelsey A tells Joey all about her mom. Mom was really impressive. A military policewoman who developed breast cancer that metastasized to her bones and then quickly claimed her life. So very sad. Kelsey A gets the rose and Joey tells the camera he is smitten!

Group Date

The next date is a group date. Lea is complaining about having to go on a group date with Maria. Ugh. Let it go! The group arrives at a villa where they are instructed to express their feelings for Joey in a quote and a painting. Jess wins 1-1 time with Joey, where they change into swimsuits then paint a large canvas with their bodies (and make out). At the After Party, Maria tells Joey all about her upbringing. She was raised by her dad because her mother couldn’t be the parent she needed to be. When Maria was a baby she and her mom were in a horrific car accident where a cement truck crushed their car. Mom broke just about every bone in her body and Maria was pronounced dead at the scene!!! Terrible!!! Maria gets the group date rose and Lea says “My heart is in my ass.” Poetic.

Rachel 1-1

Joey and Rachel walk up to a Flamenco show. They watch for a bit then get a lesson from the dancers. Joey is wearing shorts and they make him put on high heeled booties to dance in. SO FUNNY!!! After the lesson, Rachel and Joey change into traditional flamenco costumes and perform with the dancers. They are really good! Especially Rachel! It looks so fun! Later that night Rachel shares with Joey that while she was born and raised in Hawai’i, she moved to the mainland to study nursing and get a job as a nurse. She warns it can be hard to date a nurse. Joey gives her the rose.

Cocktail Party

Maria (who has a rose) interrupts Katelyn when K and Joey are chatting. Maria then gets time with Joey. This does not sit well with Jess who hasn’t spoken with Joey yet tonight. Jess gets V upset. Maria rejoins the group and she and Jess start arguing about how Jess didn’t get time and Maria didn’t need time because she has a rose. Voices are raised and Jess calls Maria a bitch then storms off with Lea at her heels.

Rose Ceremony

Jess gets the last rose. Going home: Madina and Autumn.

Lea promises that the drama is just getting started. Ugh. This whole mean girl aesthetic is not a good look Lea!!! 

Until next week BBs!!! xo 🌹
