BBs! We’ve gone international!!! This week we’re in Malta! It’s so beautiful!!!
Lexi 1-1
Lexi and Joey walk around the city of Valletta in Malta doing all the touristy things you do. They visit a gorgeous church and speak with a priest. That night over Fake Dinner, Lexi explains to Joey that she has stage 5 endometriosis and may not be able to bear children. Joey is so supportive and shares that there are many different ways to build a family, like adoption. Way to go Joey!!! Lexi gets the rose.
Back at the hotel Sydney is still stirring up drama!!! She says the whole Maria sitch is affecting her health! That she’s exhausted, lethargic, and is breaking out. BAHAHAHA!!!! Ok, so never mind that they’ve all just flown from California to half way across the world Malta! You’re jet lagged Woman!!! What a drama queen!!!
Group Date
This is the biggest group date they’ve had so far. It’s ALL of the remaining women, save Lexi, Maria, and Sydney. They all go to Fort Manoel where they filmed scenes for Game of Thrones. The ladies and Joey change into knight costumes and Joey calls himself “the fun size Bachelor” which cracks me up!!! I love a man who can laugh at himself!!! There are a few “challenges” the women have to go through to “fight for Joey”. The best one is the sausage wheel. It’s this tall spinning wheel with sausages hanging from it on strings. The women have to catch a sausage in their mouths without using their hands. Nothing like getting smacked in the face by a juicy sausage flying by!!! Ha! Most of the women cheat and use their hands but Autumn is a TROOPER and follows the rules. Autumn wins 1-1 time with Joey and they go look out at the water and make out. At the after party that night, Kelsey T is worried about her lack of time with Joey. Jess tells Joey she is falling for him. Kelsey T gets the group date rose.
Next is a 2-1 date with Maria and Sydney. Syd says it’s literal torture being near Maria because she feels Maria doesn’t respect her and who knows when Maria will attack!? I swear, I’ve never seen such made up dramatics! They put Syd and Maria on a yacht to cruise out to meet Joey. Stoney silence between the two ladies. Joey joins them and they take a smaller boat to go look at some caves on the water. It’s super awkward. They park the boat and go chat. Joey takes Syd to chat first. Syd tells Joey that Maria told Lea to “shut the F&$% up!”. Joey then chats with Maria who denies this ever happened. Later the two women are sitting on a bench. Sydney tells Maria to stop “doing this to all of us” in the house.
That night Joey joins them and while they are all three together he asks each woman if she sees a future with him. He’s decided he won’t be able to figure out the truth so he wants to make a decision on who to keep based on their chances for a connection. They both answer to the affirmative and Joey takes the rose and explains his reasoning behind giving it out. He says “Sydney…” and her face LIGHTS up “I can’t give you this rose”. Joey walks Syd out. He comes back to Maria and gives her the rose. They make out while an opera singer belts out Ave Maria (natch). I don’t think he ever kissed Syd. Oh well. Girl, BYE.
Cocktail Party
Lea pulls Madina aside to chat. Lea criticizes Madina for being nice to Maria. Lea says Madina was Team Sydney and is now being all fake. Madina says she’s just trying to navigate her time here with all these women. Maria gets frustrated that this drama is still following her and starts crying. Lea says “I’m glad she’s crying! Maria is a drama queen cry baby!” OMG WHO KNEW Lea was so mean??? The episode ends with Lea sitting down to chat with Joey. Uh oh.
BBs, it doesn’t look like the drama is ending any time soon!!! Until tomorrow!!! xo 🌹
