BBs, this week we start out back in Auckland, NZ just before the rose ceremony. If you remember, last week Jenn’s ex, Matt, arrived in NZ to ask Jenn could he join the journey. This week all the guys are ready to get the cocktail party started. They are all seated in a semi circle. Jenn comes in and tells them about her ex, Matt. That she is going to go speak with Matt and that he wants to join the house. Jenn leaves to speak to Matt and the guys are NOT happy. They think Matt has an unfair advantage. Devin is LIVID and says he will leave if Matt joins the house. Acting a wee bit petulant aren’t we Devin???
Matt walks in and addresses the guys. He tells them that Jenn decided he won’t be joining them and will be going home. Jenn comes in and states that her future is in this room. There is no cocktail party and they go straight to the rose ceremony. Austin gets the last rose. Thomas (good. He’s a weasel) and John are going home.
Jonathon 1-1
They take a helicopter ride. Jonathon HATES helicopters and heights! They land at a vineyard and play hide and seek. That night Jonathon tells Jenn that he had an ex who was dealing with substance abuse. She gaslit him and told him he was controlling when he was just concerned about her. Jenn gives Jonathon the rose.
Group Date
Seven of the remaining guys meet Jenn in a field. All the sudden loads of sheep arrive with a couple who are the owners of the farm. The guys have to herd the sheep through a gate but none (!!!) of the guys thinks to open the gate! Ha! Chaos ensues! Sheep are running every which way. Then the guys have to shovel poop and do some other farmy chores. But Devin sneaks off to chat up Jenn. The other guys notice. However, the farmers do not notice and they choose Devin as Farmer of the Day. Devin then gets some extra time with Jenn. The rest of the guys are not happy about this!
After Party
Austin sits down with Jenn and tells her that he doesn’t feel like he can give her what she needs. He decides to go home. Jenn, shocked, walks him out then sits down with production. Jenn is v emotional about Austin leaving because she takes it as a personal affront. And that she wasn’t enough for Austin. She even says she feels worthless, which breaks my heart for her! Girl needs a good therapist!!! She feels like she’s not good enough and that she failed. All because mullet head Austin left! Jenn then goes back to where the guys are gathered and tells them about Austin leaving. She shares that she’s afraid she will end up alone. The guys are v supportive and empathetic toward her. She then chats individually with each of them. At the end of the night Jenn decides not to give out a group date rose because ALL of them were so supportive and showed up for her and made her feel better and she doesn’t feel it’s fair to single one man out.
Grant 1-1
Good LAWD but Grant is cute!!! Grant and Jenn go horseback riding to the beach where they have a picnic. But then it starts raining on them! They make the best of it and make out under an umbrella. That night over Fake Dinner (what do they do with all that wasted food???), Grant shares that his father is an addict and that he checked himself into rehab just before Grant left to do the show. Grant gets the rose.
The next night at the pre-rose ceremony cocktail party, Grant tells the guys he’s falling for Jenn. Jenn then comes in and cancels the cocktail party and they go straight to the rose ceremony. The guys are all nervous because they were counting on having that time with Jenn. Jenn, btw, is stunning in a gorgeous purple, beaded, halter neck gown. I don’t know who her stylist is but ABC really stepped up their game with Jenn’s wardrobe! Dylan is the only person to get eliminated from the rose ceremony tonight.
Let’s hope next week is more exciting because this week was a bit of a snooze fest BBs!!! Until then, xo 🌹
Bless Your Heart
