stories – Bless Your Heart

It’s week 6 BBs and this week we are ALL in our feels in Montreal! Buckle up because it’s an emotional ride!!!

We start with some one on one time with Joey and he’s worried the women won’t accept him for himself if he reveals to them that he’s falling for them. He’s got a feeling deep down that this whole thing won’t work out! So sad!!! I hope that’s not the case, but the preview of the season ending didn’t bode well!!!

Group Date

The women and Joey go on a scavenger hunt of sorts throughout Montreal. They make poutine, play some street hockey, and generally have a fun day touring the city. Jess is bummed she hasn’t received a 1-1 date yet and is annoyed with the group dates. That night all the women are feeling v subdued and a bit down. In fact, every single woman shown with Joey in 1-1 time with him cries! Katelyn feels like she’s falling behind the other women. Lexi asks Joey about his timeline. Joey says he wants a 2-3 year engagement!!! Then he wants to be married a few years before children. Lexi is worried about this because of her endometriosis. Kelsey A feels like she’s getting lost in the background. Kelsey A also tells Joey she’s falling for him. As does Jenn. Most of the women are having a hard time seeing him with other women since real feelings are now involved. Jess also tells Joey she’s falling for him. Joey says he can’t get there with Jess and just can’t picture it with her. He walks her out. Jess sobs in the car as she’s leaving. I honestly never saw it with them either. No chemistry.

Joey feels really bad about sending Jess home and rejoins the group. He gives Jenn the group date rose.

1-1 Kelsey T

Kelsey and Joey go to a gym and train with an aerialist member of Cirque du Soleil. It looks so fun! They are spinning and twirling in the air and on those big metal wheel things. But Joey gets super dizzy and has to quit all the acrobatics. That night over Fake Dinner Kelsey tells Joey about her complicated relationship with her father. For some reason, her father did not support her decision to go to college and not only did she have to move out of his house, he even stopped speaking to her! Rude! Because of all this, Kelsey now has trust issues with men. She gets the rose.

Maria 1-1

Next is Maria’s one on one date where Joey picks her up at the hotel in a vintage stretch limo. V cool. It’s the classic Bachelor shopping date. They go to a boutique and pick out a fancy dress and shoes for Maria. Joey changes into a dapper suit. They then take a helicopter tour of Montreal. V cool city- I’d like to visit! Later that night Maria tells Joey she’s falling for him. He gives her the rose.

Back at the hotel Lexi goes to see Joey in his room. Lexi tells Joey that they are on different timelines due to her endometriosis and fertility concerns so because of that she’s going to go home. This shocks Joey.

I noticed during this episode that EVERY single time a woman cries, they apologize to the person they are crying in front of. Why? Why do we feel the need to apologize for our emotions? There’s not a thing wrong with showing emotion. Especially in the Bachelor environment where things are super charged, sped up, and v emotional!!! Let it out Ladies and stop apologizing!!!

The cocktail party goes well, even if it is v subdued. The women line up for the rose ceremony and notice there are only 3 roses to be given out! Daisy, Kelsey A., and Rachel get the roses. Katelyn and Lea (yay!!!) go home.

And that’s all until next time BBs!!! xo 🌹

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 🌹
