  • After the Fireside Chat, we grabbed a couple drinks then freshened up for dinner. On the way to our room we stopped by the Pearl again to see it in the daylight.

    Another view from our room’s balcony:

    All of the green you see is real plants!

    The view from one of the elevator lobbies near our room.

    Tonight’s dinner was in the main dining room

    and the theme was Caribbean Night.

    After dinner we went to the pub, and on the way there we stopped for an Instagram moment in front of this floral wall.

    The floral wall is across the way from Sorrento’s, the onboard pizza place. We didn’t have time to stop here to try their pizza. Next time!

    At the pub we were grabbing a couple drinks when we ran into Lisa!

    We chatted and caught up for a while then it was time for our last show- Back to the Future. On our way to the show we passed by the one man band kind of guy who plays this piano in the elevators!!! (among other places around the ship).

    Back to the Future is a musical retelling of the classic movie in the Royal Theatre.

    No photography during the show, of course. After the show we went back to our room to pack (booooo!) and go to bed. We arrived back to our room to see we got some more fabulous swag plus our debarkation information!

    We got a great cookbook of all the cocktails you can get on board the Star of the Seas, a bookmark, a big 8×10 photo of the ship, and 2 travel backpacks that fold up into themselves! So awesome!

    Tomorrow we have to get up early to leave for home…but not before we show you more of this amazing ship!!!

  • This morning we woke up fairly early (8:30 am) and had breakfast in the Windjammer buffet.

    The view from our room this morning!
    Inside one of the elevators.

    Then it was time for stateroom tours! Royal Caribbean gave us the opportunity to tour empty staterooms in all sorts of categories- from interior rooms to grand two story suites!

    Unfortunately for me, being in the boot and scooter, it was too crowded for me, so CSP went and toured the staterooms on my behalf while I relaxed and read my book at the Pearl Cafe!

    When he was finished with the tours, we met back up in our room and went to lunch at the Aquadome Market.

    We chose the Feta Mediterranean station. I had a yummy chicken pita and CSP had a delicious pork pita.

    We had completed our scavenger hunt for all of the stickers the other day so today at 3 PM we were able to get a grand prize! We got the crown and anchor sticker to finish off our water bottles, plus pins of Sailor and the Star of the Seas! So cute!

    We had some time before our next activity so we shopped at the Royal Caribbean store. I stayed in my scooter on the outskirts of the store while CSP shopped and brought me items to review. A crew member asked me to move from out in front of a cabinet she needed to get into, so I moved my scooter a bit….and backed right into a display of ceramic mugs!!! OMG. I about died as they toppled over! Luckily, only ONE broke!!! My guardian angel is SO TIRED of me being on this scooter!!! We bought me a Star of the Seas t-shirt as quickly as we could after that!!!

    Stopped at Starbucks for a quick drink before our next activity.

    At 4 PM we had another “work” event, a Fireside Chat back in the Royal Theatre with the CEO of Royal Caribbean Group and the founder of Royal Caribbean. It was interesting hearing about the history of Royal Caribbean.

    Next up…dinner and a show- plus a special guest!!!

  • Tonight we decided to try the buffet for dinner.

    The theme of the night at the Windjammer buffet was France. The Windjammer buffet is set up with different stations (salads, bakery, desserts, etc.) and is very good. Also, one thing I really like is that if you went to the buffet to eat, but it was closed, they put out an electronic sign that says “Hungry now? Visit…” and it lists all the open restaurants onboard. Nice!

    We ran into Mechelle (my Business Development Manager) at dinner and chatted for a bit. After dinner we went to the Aquadome aqua theatre for our show tonight. It was called Torque.

    Think Cirque du Soleil meets Olympic Diving meets Stomp! It was absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! The soundtrack alone is chef’s kiss! The talent of these dancing divers is just unmatched! CSP even jumped in surprise at one point during the show! He’s not a “show” guy but he LOVED it!

    After the show we walked back through the ship to our room. We loved how the ship looks all lit up at night!

    The seating area where you can get soft serve ice cream.
    The ship is beautiful at night, all lit up. We especially love this big abstract star!

    We went back to our room for bed where we found some more swag gifts left for us- 2 large beach towels and 2 sets of towel bands! Towel bands are stretchy bands that hold your towel on your deck chair so the towels don’t blow away in the wind.

    Tomorrow….sea day!!!

  • This morning we woke up early and were in the main dining room having breakfast by 7 am. It was tasty! CSP is always happy when he gets his bagel and lox, plus he had a Bloody Mary. I had yummy French toast & a yogurt parfait.

    The main dining room is v striking and is spans three decks!

    At 9am we had a work event. Common Ground in the Royal Theatre. The CEO of Royal Caribbean, the CEO of the Royal Caribbean Group (Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, and Silversea), and Vicki Freed, the senior vice president of Sales, Trade Support and Service were there. Before they spoke, we had a preview of the Back to the Future show.

    After their introductions and a brief message from each of them, they took questions from all of us travel advisors in the crowd. It was great! But I have to say the best part was at the end when they brought the Senior Dog Officer, Sailor, out to see us! She’s so beautiful! And very well trained. My dogs would have freaked out being with so many people!

    Today we are at Royal Caribbean’s private island Perfect Day at Coco Cay. Unfortunately, because of my recent foot surgery, I couldn’t get in the pool or ocean, so we stayed on the ship to explore! This was our view of the island:

    Back to the ship, I love how there is a lit sign in each elevator bank that shows you where everything is. All of the locations are divided up into aft/forward/port/ starboard.

    When Common Ground was over we went back to the room to shower and get ready for the day.

    I’m so impressed with all the art installations in the elevator lobbies.

    We walked through the Music Hall- a very cool music venue, as well as the casino.

    Then we had lunch down in Central Park at the Park Cafe. The Star of the Seas has all these neighborhoods, one of which is Central Park. It’s just beautiful, and full of real plants and even real birds!

    CSP had the famous Royal Kimmelwick sandwich. He loved it!

    I had some soup and an egg salad sandwich, which were very good!

    We stopped by the Lincoln Park Supper Club for another peek.

    Note, we met our room steward yesterday. His name is Gilbert and he’s from the Philippines. Our dining room servers are Jose and Joel. Gilbert, Jose, and Joel are all amazing! Gilbert got us the extension cord and distilled water we needed for our CPAP machines which kept us from having to stand in line at guest services. That was so nice and handy!

    We did some more exploring and ended up at El Loco Fresh, the on board taco bar, for a quick snack. They have an amazing salsa and toppings bar.

    Then we went to the frozen Lime & Coconut for some frozen drinks since it was HOT today.

    I first got a frozen mango margarita, but I wasn’t crazy about it so I exchanged it for a Miami Vice ( a strawberry daiquiri & pina colada mixed. SO good!).

    At 5 PM we went to Bolero’s for trivia (and did pretty well!). It was fun!

    Then we went back to the room to freshen up for dinner.

    Next….dinner and a show!

  • Tonight’s theme was White Night so I donned my white top and skirt. It was cool seeing so many people dressed all in white around the ship.

    Tonight we ate dinner at our assigned time of 6 PM in the main dining room.

    I had a chicken curry dish,

    and CSP had the fish. I can’t tell you what kind of fish it was because the menu just said “fish” but he says it was really good!

    I had the crab cake for my appetizer.
    My naan.
    CSP had the escargot for his appetizer.
    CSP’s fish dish
    CSP had the cheese plate for dessert
    I had the key lime pie
    Dining room lobby

    After dinner we went back to the lobby of the dining room to retrieve my scooter….and it was gone! Which was weird because I had the key the whole time! Earlier the lady sitting at the table to my right had her scooter delivered to the table by her server. I remember glancing over and thinking “That looks like my scooter. They must all look the same.” So we flagged down the maitre d and told him about my missing scooter and that we suspected the lady had it. Jacky, the maitre d, called the lady but she wasn’t in her room. He told us to go back to our room and wait on his call. That wasn’t going to work for us because we had show reservations shortly that I did not want to miss. Jacky called for a wheelchair but the guy who brought the wheelchair said he could only take me back to our room. So that wasn’t going to work. Then the guy who brought the wheelchair said, why don’t you just take her scooter until someone can get hold of her so you can swap scooters? I said will my key work on her scooter? Apparently they all use the same master key, so, spoiler alert, my key worked her scooter! I was so surprised, when I sat down on her scooter, that she didn’t notice that she had the wrong scooter! My scooter was red, her’s blue. My basket only had the charger in it, her’s had a bunch of stuff in the basket. Plus, they drove completely differently, in my opinion. Odd. So we agreed to take her scooter. We informed Jacky and set off to go to the show.

    The show tonight was in Absolute Zero, the ice rink. On a ship. In the ocean. So wild!!! The name of the show is SOL. CSP was a bit dubious because he’s not a “show” guy. But I had a feeling this show was going to be amazing. We went to the entrance to the ice rink and the sweetest lady crew member asked if we wanted to leave the scooter in the lobby or keep it with us. At this point I wasn’t letting that scooter out of my sight! We told her the short version of what happened with the scooters so she said that she’d take us through the secret entrance so I could keep the scooter with us. We headed outside to the jogging track by the life boats.

    These life boats are HUGE!!! They hold over 400 people in each one!

    Amazing! We followed the crew member (I wish I remembered her name) into the seating area for the ice rink and took our seats.

    We’d just ordered our drinks when CSP was going to check something out near the lobby area of the rink. I looked to my left when the doors we came through opened and who rolled in on my scooter? The lady from dinner!!! I started yelling for CSP and yelling “that’s my scooter!!!” LOL. Luckily CSP heard me and stopped short. He turned around just as I had hobbled over to the lady who was on my scooter and the nice crew lady who had escorted her to the rink, like she had done for us. Dinner Lady was looking so confused as to why I was yelling and pointing at her scooter! I explained the situation and Dinner Lady realized she had my scooter. We swapped scooters and sat back down to watch the show. What a debacle that was!!!

    SOL is an incredible show! They project images onto the ice and utilize ramps and props throughout the show. Plus they have a killer soundtrack, including Beyonce’s Texas Hold Em. These skaters are EXCELLENT!!! Like Olympic quality.

    I was so impressed, so impressed. Even CSP was floored by the talent on that ice.

    The last segment of the show features Extreme Skaters who skate up and over ramps and do flips and stunts.

    On ice skates! On a ship! In the ocean! Amazing!

    After the SOL show we went to the Pearl Cafe.

    Grab and Go case featuring salads, charcuterie, fruit, and more.
    They change the mood of the Pearl Cafe area throughout the day and night with LED lighting in different colors.

    The Pearl Cafe is one of many places on the ship where they have a Coca Cola Freestyle machine. We filled up our big reusable tumblers with ice and water and went back to our room to go to sleep. We had reservations at the comedy show, but it was so late and we were so tired we just called it a night, but not before we stopped for a photo op!

    Look how long the hallways are- and we aren’t even standing at the end, this is mid ship!!! Luckily there is signage everywhere, because this ship is so big you could definitely get lost!

    Tomorrow we dock at Royal Caribbean’s private island, Perfect Day at Coco Cay!

  • After lunch we went over to the Overlook pods at the Aquadome

    to visit with Mechelle, my BDM. Then we went out on the pool deck

    to the Lime and Coconut for our first cocktail of the cruise.

    We both got Lime & Coconuts, which come in wee buckets and are delicious!

    Royal Caribbean treated us to a free open bar, sodas, and WiFi for this cruise. Yay!

    We then stopped by Hooked,

    the specialty seafood restaurant by the Aquadome to sample some of their food.

    CSP had a delicious crab cake and the cutest wee lobster roll I’ve ever seen!

    Remember the white water bottles we received that were waiting for us in our room?

    There are little illustrations all over them that correspond to features of the Star of the Seas. There’s a card hanging from the bottle that tells you where to go, and when you get to the destination you can collect a sticker that corresponds with the illustrations. Collect all of the stickers and on Day 3 we will get a prize! Love a scavenger hunt! Plus we’ll really learn our way around the ship.

    So we spent the next couple hours zooming all over the ship collecting stickers for our water bottles.

    Thrill Island is where all the water slides are.

    While up on Thrill Island we stopped for another drink. I didn’t like mine so I gave it to CSP. He said “I can’t be walking around with two drinks looking like I have a problem!”

    While up on deck we noticed the Disney Magic was in port with us!

    We stopped by the Hideaway pool. An infinity pool up on deck 15!

    On the pool deck there is ample seating, including these cool loungers.

    Then we went back inside the ship. Even the elevator banks have gorgeous sculptures!

    One stop during our scavenger hunt was the Pearl, the showpiece of the Star of the Seas! It’s gorgeous! It is made up of all these dynamic tiles that move and are backlit by LED lights that change colors. There’s a staircase in the middle of it that takes you from deck 5 to 6 and to the Pearl Cafe.

    Instagram worthy photo ops!!!
    A sculpture of Sailor- the resident dog on board! Plus, note the FWD /AFT signs. You can’t get lost on this ship with all the helpful signage.
    The gift shop. We’ll come back later to shop when it’s open.

    We also went by the Lincoln Park Supper Club, a specialty dining restaurant that is just stunning! Only 42 diners at a time can eat here.

    There are SO many choices when it comes to bars and lounges, like the Thorn and Thistle pub.

    Playmaker’s sports bar is HUGE!!! You’d never know you’re on a ship!

    We checked out the Surfside neighborhood next.

    Standing here is where you can begin to understand how massive this ship really is!

    The kids’ splash zone.
    The carousel!
    The kids’ pool. Lots of lifeguards at every pool.
    Under the Hideaway Pool is the kids’ splash zone and pool.
    The Lemon Post. We didn’t manage to go in here to eat or drink. There are just so many options and only 24 hours in the day!
    Grabbed a cocktail at another Lime & Coconut.
    Smoke stacks. And the largest pool on a cruise ship- the Royal Bay pool!

    We stopped back by our room when we’d collected the last sticker

    and found that our luggage had arrived. Yay! So we unpacked then freshened up for dinner.

    Next up…dinner and a show!

  • Today we woke up early and had breakfast at the hotel. Then we went back to the room to grab our luggage and drive the literal 4 minutes it took to get to Port Canaveral.

    If you don’t know, I’m a vacation consultant/travel agent/travel advisor and I work for Expedia Cruises. I was incredibly lucky to be invited, along with my plus one (CSP), on this complimentary 3 night preview cruise on Royal Caribbean’s Star of the Seas. CSP & I are v excited to board the largest cruise ship in the world!

    First, because of my recent foot surgery, and being in my medical boot, we had to pick up a rental scooter for the cruise. Walking in this boot is not easy and I knew I’d never be able to traverse the giant Star of the Seas, so I rented an electric mobility scooter from Scootaround. Scootaround made it v easy to pick up my scooter at the Royal Caribbean cruise terminal. The representative showed me how to work the scooter (I did watch the instructional video ahead of time), we signed for it, and we were off to check in! It took me a few minutes to get used to driving the scooter, as I’d never driven one before.

    We went into the Royal Caribbean cruise terminal and went through security. Then, upon seeing my scooter, a representative directed us to check in with a rep standing off to the left with an iPad. That nice man checked our boarding passes and passports and sent us to board the ship in record time! In fact, we went from parking the car at 11 am, to picking up the scooter (11:08), to our room (11:27) in less than 30 minutes!

    We were a bit overwhelmed when we first boarded the ship.

    It’s like being dropped off in a huge shopping mall filled with bars and restaurants that is under a water park but on top of a hotel…oh, and it floats! We happened to run into my BDM (business development manager) for Royal Caribbean, Mechelle at the elevators. She told us our rooms were ready so we made a bee line to go drop off our stuff.

    Our room is huge! It’s a Central Park Infinite Balcony room on deck 11. Room #11611. It’s also ADA Accessible. It’s HUGE!!!

    Our SeaPass cards were waiting for us on our room number sign. You use your SeaPass card to open your room door and to pay for things on the ship. It has your room number, dining time for dinner, and table number as well.

    After dropping off our backpacks in our room and checking out the swag that was left for us on our bed (hats, water bottles, and a Back to the Future duck),

    we made our way to our muster station to get checked in. We watched the safety video before going to the muster station, so checking in there took mere moments. Easy peasy!

    We were hungry by now so we went to the Aquadome Market for lunch. I had chicken Pad Thai from Mai Thai, and a salted caramel crepe from Creme de la Crepe for dessert. SO yummy!

    The Aquadome Market is a food market with a drink station and different food stalls. You have Mai Thai, Feta Mediterranean, Pig Out BBQ, Creme de la Crepe, and La Cocinita.

    Up next, we tour the ship!

  • Today we drove from home to Port Canaveral, Florida. It was a rainy drive, and my co-pilot was little help! lol

    On our way down, we had planned on stopping at the St. Augustine Buc-ee’s location. But we were thrilled to learn they’d opened up a new location in Brunswick, Georgia!

    We stopped at Buc-ee’s and got lunch and drinks for the road.

    If you’ve never been to a Buc-ee’s, they are the best place to stop on a road trip! Lots of clean bathrooms and lots of great snacks and food. We stopped at the Daytona Beach Buc-ee’s for one last stop before our hotel. We picked up a salad to eat at the hotel for dinner.

    Tonight we are staying at the Residence Inn by Marriott in Cape Canaveral.

    I love this hotel. You get loads of space.

    They even left a goodie bag in our room, which was so sweet!

    My Labubu Lychee and Spooky came along for the journey.

    After our Buc-ee’s dinner we hit the hay, we have a BIG day tomorrow as we board the largest cruise ship in the world!!!

  • Bachelor in Paradise Week 6

    BBs this week everything changes! We start out just one hour until the Rose Ceremony. Kim and Nancy are chatting, and Kim is trying to decide who to give his rose to. Dale and Kat are talking and Dale is trying to get Kat to go deeper and open up more to him.

    Rose Ceremony

    Brian gives his rose to Parisa. Andrew to Alexe. Andrew tries to say “Will you accept my rose” in French but it comes out as Vu tu fondle my rose? So funny!!! Jeremy gives his rose to Bailey. Spencer to Jess. Dale to Kat. Sean to Allyshia. Jonathon to Lea. Keith to Kathy. Kim to Faith. And Gary (who they are calling Big G now) to Leslie.

    Going home: Nancy, April, and Natascha. As Natascha hugs Gary goodbye, he says to her “Goodbye. For now.” Hmmm.

    Jesse then says we have some business to discuss. He explains there will be no more new arrivals. There will be lots of relationship tests. AND now there’s a chance that one couple can win up to $500,000! Everyone is gobsmacked! He says we’ll find out more later.

    The next day is day 11 of Paradise. All of the couples are scheming and planning and quizzing each other. Then each couple receives a box with some big poker style chips. They play a game called High Low, What do you know? Where they have to answer questions about each other and bet their chips on if they are correct or not. The winning couple get a 1-1 date. The bottom 3 couples get no roses unless the winning woman chooses them to get a rose.

    Jeremy bets everything on the last question and gets it right, putting him and Bailey in the lead. Gary makes a huge bet on his last question and gets it wrong. Dumb move Gary. Bottom three couples are Kim & Faith, Gary & Leslie, and Brian & Parisa. Poor Gary goes back to being just Gary instead of Big G. Ha!

    Jeremy and Bailey go on their fake dinner date and Jeremy says the Goldens are annoying!!! Well you’re a scummy pig Jeremy!!! He says he doesn’t like their monologues! Bailey tells him she feels really good about where they are in their relationship. Little does she know he’s pretending with her!!! Back at the resort Jeremy is acting all cocky to Brian since Brian’s on the chopping block and Jeremy is safe.

    Meanwhile, Jonathon is telling Lea one thing about their relationship, but he’s telling everyone else they are just friends. So Kat tells Lea that Jonathon told her they are just friends. Lea pulls Jonathon to talk and he says I don’t know if I can ever get over the hurdle of just being friends. Lea is visibly upset by this.

    Brian and Parisa go to the bar and Brian and Kat start talking about all the Botox they get (!!!), and he completely ignores Parisa.

    Rose Ceremony

    Bailey gives her rose to Jeremy. Alexe to Andrew. Kathy to Keith. Allyshia to Sean. Kat to Dale. Jess to Spencer. Lea to Jonathon. Lea is MAD mad. Jonathon walks up and she thrusts her rose at him and says “You’re welcome”, spins and walks away. Dang son!!!

    Bailey now has to give out 2 roses to 2 of the remaining women. Faith gets one and gives her rose to Kim. Bailey calls Leslie up and through her tears, Bailey tells her she can’t give Leslie the rose. So that means Leslie and Gary are going home. Bailey gives the last rose to Parisa, so Brian is safe too. Brian NEEDS to tell Bailey about Jeremy and his duplicity! And BBs, I think that might happen next week!!! At long last!!!

    Until then, xo 🌹

  • BBs it’s another wild episode with the Goldens spicing things up in Paradise! Faith comes riding in on a horse with her arms in the air! What an entrance!

    Nancy and Lea have date cards and need to choose their guests. Dale apologizes to Kat about their argument from last night. Then, to Kathy’s complete and utter HORROR, Dale does a body shot off a bikini clad April!!! That April knows how to party!!!

    Lea asks Jonathon on her date and he accepts.. Nancy asks Gary on her date and he accepts. Leslie is totally bummed by this because she really likes Gary. Jonathon and Lea go on a picnic at the beach, then they go swimming. They have a great time and laugh a lot but I’m not seeing a spark. Meanwhile, Faith gets a date card with a horse on it.

    Jesse comes out and tells the group it’s time for another chemistry test, this one called Birds of Paradise. The men have to dress up as birds and have to do a mating call and dance for the ladies. Jeremy tells Brian he doesn’t want to win with Bailey because he still has a thing for Susie. ALTHOUGH Jeremy sure is sticking his tongue down Bailey’s throat on the daily!!! Punk. Brian thinks Bailey deserves to know this information.

    Meanwhile, Nancy and Gary go on their date, which is a cacao ceremony. They both drink a cacao drink and Gary goes to town on his drink. Soon enough, Nancy and Gary both are tripping! It’s hilarious!

    Back at Paradise, the women gather for Birds of Paradise, and Allyshia arrives looking stunning in her bird get up. I do not recognize this woman.

    The men parade through, starting with Andrew, who’s in his Black Swan era. He looks amazing! But…he’s totally wearing white socks! Bahahaha!!! When it’s Dale’s turn, Allyshia jumps up to dance with him, and Kat is not happy about that! Keith’s shirt says “Let’s Flock!” I’m DEAD!!! I told you the Golden’s were spicing things up!!! Sean then drops his drawers and throws them at Hannah! Gross!!! Then Sean kisses April- much to Jill’s chagrin. Parisa and Brian win the Birds of Paradise chemistry test and they get to spend the night in the BIP VIP suite!

    Afterwards, Dale can’t wait to talk to Allyshia again and Kat is peeved! Then Sean and Allyshia go off to chat. Jill says “No one is coming for me” and is crying, So sad. She’s so tired of being the fun friend and not finding love. She decides to leave. :(

    Brian and Parisa go to the BIP VIP suite and hop in the pool. Parisa tries to be cute but Brian isn’t having it and snaps at her, totally killing the vibe.

    Allyshia asks Dale if he’s with anyone, and he says “Kat and I have kinda hit it off”. Seriously Dale?!? Y’all have been joined at the hip since day 2!!! And he does all this at the bar, right in front of Kat! BOLD.

    Jonathon tells Kat Dale said to him “I want to go on a date to make Kat sweat”. Video confirms this. Kat asks Jeremy who denies it like the scum he is. Then, not 2 minutes later, Jeremy tells Dale all about it. Dale walks over to Kat and Jonathon to “Clear things up” but he can’t answer Kat’s questions, does a lot of hemming and hawing, then says “It wasn’t me” and Jonathon has it out for me. Yeah right Dale. Keep telling yourself that. Dale is so frustrating because he is dang beautiful to look at but good grief is he smarmy!!!

    Gary and Nancy come back from their date and they are HIGH AS KITES!!! SO funny!!!

    The next day is day 10 of Paradise. There are feather’s EVERYWHERE!!! Parisa is disappointed with her night with Brian. Kim goes to the medical clinic for an elevated heart rate.

    Faith says she was going to ask Kim on her date but she takes Kathy instead. They go horseback riding. Kathy is TERRIFIED of horses, but Faith guides Kathy through mounting and riding the horse. Kathy ends up enjoying it. The best part of the “date” is every time Faith yells something to Kathy (to be heard over the ocean waves), Kathy yells back “I can’t hear you”. It’s “I can’t hear you” over and over! SO funny!

    Allyshia pulls Dale to chat. Kim comes back and is disappointed to find he missed out on Faith’s date. Allyshia chats with Kat. Allyshia’s waffling on who to ask on her date- Sean or Dale.

    Allyshia then asks Sean on her date and everyone cheers! They have a 5 senses date with little cards directing them to use their 5 senses to get to know each other. They are blindfolded and run feathers and ice cubes over each other’s skin. They kiss.

    Parisa loses a hair extension just before the pre-Rose Ceremony cocktail party.

    Cocktail Party

    Dale’s talking to Wells about how he likes Allyshia and how he’s been so “clear” with Kat about their situation. NO YOU HAVEN’T!!! Allyshia is busy telling the girls how much she wants Dale.

    And that’s it for this week BBs. No Rose Ceremony this episode. Next week is a game changer. Now they are going to be competing for a half a million dollars! WHOA!!!

    Until next week BBs, xo 🌹
