BBs! We’re at week 6 already! The week before Hometowns! This week we’re in Seattle, Washington- The Emerald City. There are 7 guys left. Charity comes to counsel Jenn.
Marcus 1-1
Marcus gets another one on one. A letterman jacket gets delivered to Marcus so he wears it when he meets up with Jenn. Jesse comes to see them and explains that their date is inspired by the new Wicked movie. Jenn and Marcus jump on a trolley car and make their way to town where they are instructed by Kelsey and Daisy to follow the yellow brick road. Along the road they find boxes and have to choose between a pink category or green category and open the corresponding box. Along the road, Charity appears and gives them a wand to pop bubbles. Inside the bubbles are a letter from Jenn’s mom and a photo and video from Marcus’s sister. This makes Jenn and Marcus emotional. They end the day part of the date with a hot air balloon ride.
That night Jenn is gorgeous in a stunning hot pink ball gown! She is worried that Marcus isn’t as far along emotionally as she is in their relationship. They have Fake Dinner on the field at a baseball stadium. *I can’t remember the name of the Seattle baseball people. Mariners maybe? Go sports!
Marcus shares that when he was a child his parents took him and his sister to daycare one day and never returned. They were placed in foster care and people would come along and “try them out” then change their minds about adopting them. This made Marcus feel like there’s something wrong with him. This whole thing just breaks my heart for him! Poor guy!!! Jenn gives him the rose.
Group Date
Jenn is at a radio show with I Heart Radio. Molly and Jason Mesnick are there, along with the radio hosts. The guys come in. We have Devin, Sam, Grant, Spencer, and Jonathon. The hosts ask rapid fire word association questions. When Sam is asked about Fantasy Suites he says “aggressive”. Oooookay. That’s odd. All of the guys are asked a bunch of questions like describe Jenn in 3 words, or what do you like about Jenn? and they all answer so sweetly, except for Sam. He’s all cliche all the time. His answers make ZERO sense. So the hosts ask the guys to leave except for Sam. The other guys listen in while the hosts and Jenn ask Sam more questions that Sam simply cannot answer. He talks and talks but doesn’t SAY anything. It’s like he’s been coached or has a script he can’t deviate from. It’s v bizarre!
Night
At the after party, Grant and Jenn are chatting when Grant tells Jenn he’s falling in love with her! Yay! I adore Grant! He says “I already chose you”. SWOON!!!
Devin and Jenn talk about their feelings and Jenn tells Devin she’s falling for him. Uh oh. She didn’t say that to my guy Grant!!!
When it’s Sam’s turn to chat, Jenn asks Why me? Sam hems and haws then blurts out “Because I love you”. WHAT?!?
This confuses Jenn to no end so she decides not to give out a group date rose.
Jeremy 1-1
Jenn and Jeremy (who Jen calls Jer Bear all day. I don’t like it) go to Pike Place Market, Jeremy builds Jenn a bouquet of flowers and then they get their palms read. They visit bubblegum alley, throw fish, and actually eat some food! I about fell on the floor! That night they have Fake Dinner under a huge Don Chilhuly exhibit. It’s beautiful! They talk about Jeremy’s Jewish faith and how important it is to him. Jenn shares that she is Buddhist. They bond over their love of family and traditions. Jeremy gets the rose.
The next day is Rose Ceremony day. But before the ceremony, Jenn decides to go see Sam. She basically asks him why does he love her. Sam doubles down on the whole I love you thing, but can’t provide any reasons why. Everything he says is all about him. He never asks her anything about herself. He’s not listening. It’s like he’s talking just to talk. Jenn asks “what did you learn about me” and he can’t answer with anything that makes sense. He just keeps saying I love you. Jenn gets frustrated and goes into the hall to talk to producers for a bit. She then goes back to Sam and tries again. He STILL can’t name one reason why he loves her. Jenn says she’s over teaching people how to love and prioritize her. That’s in the past and “I’m done”. They hug and he packs his things. If he really loved her he’d fight for her but he just shrugs and goes to the car. He tells production Jenn’s energy was “dull”. V odd again!!! And that “it wasn’t my fault and I’m going to keep the main thing the main thing. It is what it is.” I swear that man is a walking red flag of cliches!!! He’s like a robot who can only speak in pre-programmed phrases! BYE!
Rose Ceremony
There are only 2 roses left with 4 guys. Devin, unsurprisingly, gets the first rose, then Jonathon gets the last rose. BUT WHAT ABOUT GRANT??? My heart!!! Jenn walks Grant out but there are no tears or pithy final words from her. She just didn’t like him like that I guess. Spencer is also going home. Spence calls his mom and is v emotional when telling her he got sent home.
I can’t wait for next week! Hometowns BBs!!! I can’t wait to see these guys’ families!!! Until then, xo 🌹
Bless Your Heart
