Whoa. Ben. Jamaiacan yourself crazy.
In a really big nut shell..it got nuttier.
It's the FODs...at the Sandals' resort in Jamaica. It looked pretty nice there...When I see Sandals commercials on TV it seems so cheesy...like it is trying to sell a classy vacation...where the the adult commercials showcase women who are always sipping champagne or about to lead a conga line and the men have very little abdominal fat and wear their shirts very unbuttoned and are about to eat some flambed meat.
But back to the show...I can't get into too many deetz since I have an early morning tomorrow.
Cailla...i just had a feeling that she was way more unsure because she was way too into hime..make sense? It seemed on their chill raft ride that the feelings ran cold. They sipped some coconut water and then were getting ready for dinner...which they didn't eat because she was busy saying she loved him...and she thought she'd get the needed "time" time with Ben. He says he has something for her. Love it..the room key is for her...not for him..She accepts...and then..fireworks..lots of fireworks..the producers had to do something to create a spark. hahaha..i know ...i'm reaching here..but I could sense this was going nowhere..permanent. they have a great night..and drink black coffee in the morning..and they are served breakfast....and they sit holding hands on the balcony..but then he has to go..to sleep with .i mean on another date.
Lauren
What is up with Lauren and her walking...Heels aren't the easiest to walk in..but she's in wedges..and she always looks like she's trying to steady her balance..you think her balance would be great with all the flight attending she does...
Well she did navigate the date well.
Baby turtles. They save some baby turtles. CUTE. Okay..what are the analogies...20 000 turtles saved...20 seasons of the Bachelor...the turtles need to be rescued, some of the women need to be rescued...AND they both need a hard shell to survive this show.
back to the date...
She wasn't sure if she was going to spend the night or tell him she loved him..but she did..AND he says he loves her too!! She's so happy...and Ben says.."she has qualities of my future wife"...whoa Ben ..easy..we have a few weeks left.
They hit the fantasy suite..he draws the sheers..nto the heavy curtains..lights out..but mikes still on. I wonder how long they have to keep the mikes on.
Although Ben is in love with Lauren..tomorrow is a new day and he must focus on...
Jo Jo.
The wardrobe choice of Jamaica is extra cut off jean shorts. Jo Jo wins for shortest shorts...Ben thinks he's not sure he can keep Jo Jo..unless he has family approval..hmm..i wonder how long that thought will last. They take a helicopter ride!! to the YS falls. They are mesmerized. I interrupt this rose report for a dose of ethnocentrism...but those falls got nothing on http://www.np-plitvicka-jezera.hr/en/ ...
Okay..back to the show..they jump in (of course)..kiss in the falls.. I keep getting distracted by Ben's tattoo...does anyone know what it says..i got my big fancy TV and I still can't read what's on his tattoo....and then go back for dinner. They discuss the family situation...Jo Jo thinks her brothers are being protective..and will love him..mmm...i'm not so sure after the Lauren spectacle....He presents the date card..she says yes!! and they have their own hot tube. Whoa..Jo Jo..looks amazing in a bikini...
They spend the night..the next morning...I'm thinking Jo Jo packed her Anastasia brow whiz in her overnight bag.because her eyebrows looked perfectly filled in as the night before.
And then...the surprise.
Call comes to visit...i watched the whole scene with a bad feeling for her. She surprises Ben! Ben surprises her with telling her he's not as into her and he loves two women. that's a one two punch.
She leaves..but then almost jumps out..to say "when did you know"..Ben someone talks his way out of that one..she still loves him..and hugs him good by..and her mantra whilst driving around the big SUV in the small Sandals compound..was "I was ready, I was ready"...
The rose ceremony- two roses..noone goes.
The girls look lovely..Lauren manages to saunter in in the same wedges. Jo Jo and Lauren talk to each other. Like seriously..what the? how do you just shoot the breeze..i shake my head.
Ben walks in..they both get roses..and he toasts to the women he loves.
Can it get weirder next week?? He loves two women..but can he pick one?? and who does he call on his cell phone..more hotline bling???
Until next week...the WTA...I LOVE THIS SHOW!

Well that was long and boring...and this will be short
This might be the shortest RR
Amanda:
Cool 80 % sleeved top and shorts.
Her kids are adorbs.
Lauren
Ben cries at the hometown...Lauren is definitely front runner.
Why didn't she take her jacket off at dinner
She's in love..but doesn't tell him.
Caila
Toy factory date was cute. Not sure why he felt compelled to carry through the toy store..i thought he was going to try to cross the threshold of their toy house. nope. just carrying her through the factory apparently.
Oh..she's half Filipina..No wonder I love her.
Caila's mom had a beautiful energy..and I loved her dad...
Caila is in love...but doesn't tell him...
All my exes live in Texas..and apparenly so does Jo-Jo's.
I thought it was odd that she got roses at her place..i thought ben was disclosing it all in the letter..but NO! it was Chad? was that this name. Chad had very nice even handwriting on great stationary...Hmmmi wonder if he was coached to do that. I
Jo jo disclosed to Ben the long story..he says he wishes he could have sat beside her to support her.
That Ben is one fountain of support
Whoa..Jo-Jo's mom....was she drunk...my fave was when she took a swing from the wine bottle while the brothers we grilling Ben in the kitchen. I did think Ben was giving vague answers to the brothers earlier. But really..it's been 20 spectacular seasons of the journey to true love...we know the drill..it's a weird way to date..but people just gotta deal. I like that Jo Jo's dad wore a dinner jacket to dinner.
Rose Ceremony
Amanda goes home! Whah? I thought it was going to be Jo Jo...she seemed ticked at him when they sat on the bench to discuss why she was cut....but then she softened and said she'd miss Ben. What was she holding in her hands? a purse? Ben is overcome with emotion..so much so they didn't have the champagne scene where they toast that they are off to Jamaica to sleep with each other....
All I know..it's gonna get dramatic..and
I LOVE THIS SHOW!

It gets weirder
I'm not sure if it's me, but the closer this show gets to the end - the weirder it gets.
I've never seen the show Sister Wives..but it seems like there is an analogy in there with this show. The girls get "excited" for one another when they have one on one dates with the guy they are also dating..and then have a talking circle about their feelings for the same guy.
But here we go...to Warsaw...not that Warsaw..the one in Indiana.
Ben bombs around Warsaw is his red truck. Seems retro..and is just perfect with the cute backdrop of the charming little town of Warsaw.
First..Ben meets his parents in the local (only) coffee shop. I just wanna hug Ben's parents too..they seem happy, warm supportive. They chat..an then Ben has to go pick up his 6 girlfriends.in the boat that he uses for most of the show..since the Bachelor really likes to use multiple modes of transportation to keep the show interesting and romantic.
The girls are thrilled with the house they are staying in..and show their enthusiasm by jumping on the beds.
In the living room, ben announces Lauren gets the 1:1. Yeesh. Sadness befalls the remaining 5.
Lauren sits really close to Ben in the truck (I see that's not only an Alberta phenomenon)..and apparently they don't have seatbelt legislation in Indiana (nor life jackets). Lauren and Ben have what seems a super long date (even with the PVR - thanks Jo-Ann) at the Baker youth club. I think my favourite moment of the show was Ronnie the half court kid making a basket from the centre line (is it called a centre line..or does it have a special basket ball name?). There were too many shots of Lauren high living kids and kids standing around saying how awesome she is.After that they go to the Rex Rendzevous..and then hang out with people. Are they randoms? or Ben's friends. Dunno. It seems that Ben is SUPER into Lauren because he wants to show her all teethings he cares about...that is until his next 1:1
Jo-Jo
Jo-Jo..which I'm still not sure what that's short for..She had a fantastic scarf. Good thing because she's off to the Windy city? Whah? She gets whisked to Chicago. Sweet..seems better than a night at Rex's rendezvous. They spend an afternoon at the Wrigley Field. She wears a jersey that says Mrs. Higgins.I say presumptuous..that she's given that..an that it's assumed she'll take his name. They play some baseball, they kiss at home plate, they lie on the field..then get changed for dinner which is still on the field. The theme of the dinner is scared. She's scared, He's scared. They're both scared. Good thing they've had the talk. Another long date. She did have a great scarf on:) That was my favourite part of the date.
The dreaded and boring group date.
The girls Becca, Cailla, Amber all pile into a really big limo to all sit beside each other in the back. Seriously, I could have driven them in my civic not need to waste that many fossil fuels.The girls look unhappy to go on a date with the same guy. Weird. hahaha.
They basically go to a lake, canoe (Becca and Amber in one, Ben and Cailla in the other), they fly kites (which is what the girls likely wanted to tell each other to do)..and then go sit in the barn and have wine and wait for one:one hay bale time with Ben out back. Amber's voice seems more like a cartoon characters to me. She gets the first time alone and tells Ben she's excited to introduce him to her kids..then it's Caila then Becca. And Becca starts talking Survivor -style and telling Ben not to blind side her. Ben awards the rose to Amber and the other two go home. Before anyone gets too excited about amber getting more time..they go to Ben's favourite place to eat..McDonald's..and then get to knock an item off Ben's bucket list and they get to work behind the counter....Oh.that's not it..they then go to the 3 ride carnival and are warmly welcomed by the Warsaw mayor. People in Warsaw seem super happy...and apparently a young kid in fringed leather jacket knows Ben..really? how long has Ben been in Denver..doubtful this kid really knows Ben.
Emily
Oh Emily. She's so excited to get the 1:1...but the girls are predicting she has so much growing to do..well...they kinda nailed it.
Emily goes to meet Ben's parents..she talks about how she's like to watch movies all day, how she wants to be an NFL cheerleader and how she's average at everything but thinks she would be an above average mom. Ben's mom is in tears when she talks to Ben. I think Ben has seen the light..and lets Emily go. Ben has a brutal yet great way to cut people loose. I think he's pretty genuine.
Emily's departing comments were the best ever..she was grateful for having met such a great guy..you know.that's way more eloquent than a lot of girls way older than her.
I like Emily. Hopefully your cheers can dry your tears..Gooooo Emily!!!!!
Cocktail party Rose Ceremony
Oh..the northwind was upset (I just watched Chocolat and couldn't help the reference)...the rose ceremony was held outside and the wind was whipping around the leaves ..Caila feels Ben may be rethinking her. Becca feels like it might be her. And Lauren B is the only one who chose to wear a white jacket. (foreshadowing?)
And the one sent home is ...
BECCA!

Becca is crying in the limo..saying she doesn't want to be alone...and we end with Ben with his head down and he looks like he's praying.
Yup...he's got 99 problems and Becca ain't one.
Until next week...I LOVE THIS SHOW!

Pathetic fallacy
No..not the show...but the whole situation in the Bahamas...the weather was personifying the emotion-storminess, unpredictability, waves, crashing tides.
Everyone was awash in emotion.
First..the to be continued..Olivia did talk her way into getting the rose by saying "I come off as intimating " and the grammatically incorrect "I want to talk smart things" huh? That sounded dumb Olivia. But that was enough for for Ben so Olivia keeps the rose and he sends Jen out. She looked so great in hot pink...but you can tell he didn't feel that much for her. No walking her out of that ceremony. See ya Jen.
Bahamas.
1:1 Reel love..no not the Mary J Blige hit..it's Reel Love
Caila (sp?) gets the date. Ben arrives to pick her up. Was his lack of buttoning his shirt an oversight...is he wanting plunging neckline to Caila taks the plunge with him. What was with that fashion don't? Can Caila be more adorable? I loved the navy crop top. Fantastic. Btw, the look of the island for the women seems to be cut off jean shorts. Back to the date. This love is so reel that Caila needs that fishing rod strapped around her waist and needs Ben as her anchor so that she doesn't go overboard. They did take a plunge off the boat. (his shirt WAS foreshadowing!) But later at the dinner..it was the opposite...Caila seemed like she was going to jump ship and Ben needed to assure her that he could be her anchor. That was a pretty honest conversation..she basically said she didn't want to hurt his feelings..Fist bump Caila for honesty. She told him she wasn't sure but she has the feels for him..for reelz. hahaha. The navigated those choppy waters and she got the rose. yay!..and she also had a fantatic bathing suit on the date..Idon't think they sell fantastic bathing suits in Canada..or at least not in edmonton.
Group date.
Leah is having a melt down. She's crying in the hotel. She's crying on the group date. Leah is super ...rhymes with kissed and starts with a p that Ben didn't give her the one on one. She's crying to whomever will listen. I think she's getting Bachelor fever...it's a combination cabin fever, Stockholm syndrome, jet lag and anxiety sprinkled with self-doubt. I tell ya.. you need to have a rock solid mental health to last on this show. Leah is upset she's on another group date and he's not getting to know her...they go on a boat ride and then feed the swimming pigs. Who's scared of pigs? I am. Reminds me of my wild boar encounter on a mountain in Croatia in 2014. I can't recall who said I like eat pigs..lol..yes...especially wrapped in sour cabbage leaves...mmmmm sarma...whoa..okay..back to the show. After the boat and swimming they go to a 'party' where Ben make out with most of them on a a couch...it's getting stormy out...Leah decides to diss Lauren B..that she's different and not here for Ben. Whah? Where did that come from? I blame it on the Bachelor fever...she's caving under the pressure. Amber gets the rose!
Leah decides to trash talk Lauren B again by sneaking to his hotel room. walking around the hotel in her bare feet. Ewww gross..She goes over to spend time and tell him that Laurne is right for him.Another colossally dumb move. Ben tells her he doesn't feel it with her!
She's so dishonoured..that not even random suitcase guy gets her luggage..she has to pick it up herself....
2:1
Emily and Olivia..who stays who goes.
This classic showdown pits the two against each other. Speaking of the pits...the weather is awful. So was Olivia's bathing suit/jean short combo. Emily looks like she was going to save a horse and ride a cowboy with the tassel-y top..that looked like serious stampede wear. This date was also a recipe for worst hair ever...high speed winds and humidity...a waste of a hair washing/do. On this budget date..they zipped to deserted island..the only amenity was the alcohol brought on the boat...Olivia and Ben got to chat ..she professed her love. then Emily and Ben chat..and then Emily laid out her Magna Carta...it was like her personal charter of her dreams, expectations, direction. It was like a really bad political speech..but I think she sounded sincere. Ben fixes her hair and says he heard from her mom that she has a lot of love to give. Ben is adorbs.Ben takes her back to the communal beach blanket. He then takes the rose and walks with Olivia...Emily thinks her fate is sealed...But wait..he tells olivia he doesn't feel for her..and then leaves her standing awkwardly in the sand..while he goes over to Emily to give the rose to her.in Olivia's sight. Yes. Ben.. you coulda pulled a boat around and had her drive off..that was super mean..then Emily and Ben get on a boat and race away from crying Olivia.
Cocktail party
Kidding! Ben doesn't feel like cocktailing. He's drained. He feels beaten down in the Bahamas. As they say sometimes in capitalist societies..sometimes too much choice isn't always a good thing. I think Ben has decision fatigue.
Lauren gets the heave-ho. She leaves crying in the Cadillac..again ..for herself..not for Ben..saying how hard it is.she's ready..she can't find it..why's it so hard. Girl, you were in the Olympics of dating..i think the Bachelor is the toughest place to date.
The previews of the upcoming episodes look....so dramatic..
Until next week..I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!!!

Hola-tta drama.
Mexico!
Viva la mexico!
Mexico City! Fantastic location...according to Ben..there is "lots of culture" he says in the voice-over as he sits in front of a fountain...and he wears bright green underwear.
The girls are staying at the Four Seasons! Looks like a sweet hotel..as well as a suite hotel. And there's a bidet. Olivia declares she has one in her home. I feel I know too much about Olivia's hygiene her breath and now her bidet use.The girls enthusiastically run from room to room and feel compelled to jump on beds. I wonder if contractually they have to be enthusiastic about each hotel they go to.
To start the season with a bang...Ben pulls out a Bachelor trick..the old "let's surprise the girls when they are sleeping". Ben wants to see them 'in their element'. That is most likely the opposite of their element...sharing a hotel room..often a bed..with women they are competing with. Doubtful it's their element. Amanda is going on the one on one..and when Ben finds her in the room...she looks perfect..and coiffed..and i swear she had lip gloss on. She's an aesthetician...does she sleep in her make up?
One on one but really it was a two on one..
..if you count the balloon guy.
The go on a ballon ride above Mexico City. So many balloons...it's quite the cluster of balloons...not sure how you navigate the balloons. They land safely...thankfully. And what might be the first time in Bachelor history..they have a picnic without being propped up on lounge pillows. They talk.and drink champagne. Ben clutches the champagne flute with a fist. He seems pretty breezy..but maybe he's pretty tense.
Then they go for dinner..aI think they ate their dessert!!and have a sincere conversation . Amber talks about her deadbeat husband. Ben seems so caring and says 'they will walk through this together'. Sweet Ben. then Ben and Amber do more reflecting by the reflecting pool.
Oh and Amber gets the rose....
Group date..
This seemed so long.
There was ESL ~ Espanol Second Language. Then cooking class. Ben declares he's the Spatch-lor. (umm..not funny). Olivia snapped up Ben. Ben fed her mint. Does she really have bad breath.?There was a cook-off. Jo-Jo talks too much taco..and Jubilee's recipe won...she's got so many talents...And according to Mexican's..once you can cook - you're ready to get married (oooohhhh I said to myself)..but back to Olivia..she has so many talents..Too bad she's letting people get to her head.
then the heavy cocktail party..did anyone eat anything..besides cilantro and mint at the cooking class. Jo_Jo won for best shoes. So pretty! WAs it Leah who got all the 1;! time walking down the streets of Mexico city. That looked so fun!Jubilee is starting to unravel...she doesn't want to hold his hand when they walk to have 1:1 time. Is it me or did it just seem so so so obvious that Ben is taking all the women by the hand and making out with them..and all the other women just sit there and seem okay with everything. I get why Jubilee was upset. But really what I was so surprised by was that Jubilee's red lipstick going with her pink dress. I was also so impressed with Ben being so honest with Jubilee and letting her go without having to walk out in front of the other girls...and the fact the taxi was already waiting. She hugged him and said thank-you. Way to go Jubilee. Olivia got the group date rose. There was a moment of silence..not out of respect...it was likely a shock.
Lauren H date
I thought Lauren H was milque-toast,,,but I loved her after this date. Someone named Ricardo greeted the couple to tell them it was Mexican fashion week. But was it me but did Ricardo look more like a Justin...her reminds me of a barista on Whyte..hmm..maybe I have a narrow view of what Mexcian men look like.
Lauren and Ben participate in the Pineda Covalin (?) fashion show. Lauren looked amazing. Ben's shirt....reminded me of an 90s educational TV show called Sew Much Fun where they take 'fun' scraps of fabric and fashion into into clothing, quilt or table covering.
They have dinner and Lauren opened up. I loved her positive attitude...just loved it..she gets the rose.
What - the ? Cocktail party
Whoa..so much drama. First...the phrase that was heard around Bachelor Nation " like an episode of Teen Mom"..ooo...Amber shot right back..and then Olivia was silenced. Emily went crying to Ben..why? and then she cried to her sister..which kudos to her sister for talking to her after last week's shenanigans. Chris H announces the end of the party..but wait..there goes Ben breaking all the rules and asks to speak with Olivia. ..and then....
TO BE CONTINUED!!!
Until next week.....I LOVE THIS SHOW!
Viva la mexico!
Mexico City! Fantastic location...according to Ben..there is "lots of culture" he says in the voice-over as he sits in front of a fountain...and he wears bright green underwear.
The girls are staying at the Four Seasons! Looks like a sweet hotel..as well as a suite hotel. And there's a bidet. Olivia declares she has one in her home. I feel I know too much about Olivia's hygiene her breath and now her bidet use.The girls enthusiastically run from room to room and feel compelled to jump on beds. I wonder if contractually they have to be enthusiastic about each hotel they go to.
To start the season with a bang...Ben pulls out a Bachelor trick..the old "let's surprise the girls when they are sleeping". Ben wants to see them 'in their element'. That is most likely the opposite of their element...sharing a hotel room..often a bed..with women they are competing with. Doubtful it's their element. Amanda is going on the one on one..and when Ben finds her in the room...she looks perfect..and coiffed..and i swear she had lip gloss on. She's an aesthetician...does she sleep in her make up?
One on one but really it was a two on one..
..if you count the balloon guy.
The go on a ballon ride above Mexico City. So many balloons...it's quite the cluster of balloons...not sure how you navigate the balloons. They land safely...thankfully. And what might be the first time in Bachelor history..they have a picnic without being propped up on lounge pillows. They talk.and drink champagne. Ben clutches the champagne flute with a fist. He seems pretty breezy..but maybe he's pretty tense.
Then they go for dinner..aI think they ate their dessert!!and have a sincere conversation . Amber talks about her deadbeat husband. Ben seems so caring and says 'they will walk through this together'. Sweet Ben. then Ben and Amber do more reflecting by the reflecting pool.
Oh and Amber gets the rose....
Group date..
This seemed so long.
