Whoa! What a Bachelor. The FOD! Where they are going to talk..ALL NIGHT LONG.

Clare- the back pedal
Clare would like to have us believe she wants to skip on the FOD to keep it respectable. Do I believe it? Not for a moment. What I did enjoy was her getting JP to tell her that the FOD was okay this time but Vietnam (the ocean swim) was a no no. Even JP commented "Clare..why are you thinking so much". Apparently it's okay to go nighttime swimming with JP on week 9. I spent most of their date being distracted by Clare's dangly rounded turquoise beaded earrings.  At least I focused on those and not her the pregnant pauses that were interspersed with her rapid-fire talking about nothing. But..she forgoes her individual room because she wants to let JP know how her heart feels.

Andi
In a voiceover.JP announces...tonight is my overnight with Andi. He doesn't say.."today I get to spend the day with Andi"..he's going right to night. Andi looks great in her red dress and flip flops. They meet, explore a town..and hey..they find some good times! (surprise)..they play some steel drums..and (surprise) JP has rhythm and is the life of the steel drum party. Then he starts a pick up game of soccer (looking good shirtless...all the wine and desserts isn't affecting his visceral fat) and then they cruise to a secluded picnic spot. Andi is feelin' it. They chat..JP asks her about her intent to find love. I think he was trying to get at if she was looking at falling in love for the sake of it, or if he was what she was looking for. They didn't get to the meat of the issue..but he was ok with her responses and then he tells her "there's nothing wrong with thinking" (he will come to regret that statement later). He presents her with the overnight key. She's on it! And they are in room #7 (note..not so lucky this time)
The next day...JP is in the same t-shirt and shorts that he played a sweaty game of pick up soccer in..and is telling the camera what a great overnight it was.
Meanwhile Andi is telling the cameras that it became clear to her that JP is not really interested in her, but in hearing his own stories. He was a name dropper and even brought up Clare's name! What the? How do you say ding dong in Spanish. Apparently there is not directly translation..but close enough would be estupdio or pendejo!

But JP thinks it was great..and he loves Andi's cheeks..the facial ones. JP has this annoying habit of stroking the girl's faces, tears, ears, eyebrows.

Nikki
Nikki strides in looking like she paired her belly dancing pants with her Pocahontas bikini top. I think she was going for island sexy...it kinda came across as Middle Eastern Disney.  A ya yay..JP exclaims..Nikki and JP ride horses..quite proficiently it looks like..have a little picnic.  The make it over to the fantasy suite which I think is the same room that Clare and Andi had.Nikki busts the  L word. They overnight. It's awesome..apparently. And JP thinks that Nikki can be for him..because she is sexy, a good kisser and likes people.

Video messages
Standard video messages from Nikki and Clare..but Andi sets it up that she wants to talk in person.
A ya yay!!

Judge Judy would be proud
Andi walks in all fine looking in her lace shorts and white blouse. They sit to chat.  She lays the groundwork for her case. Tells him she doesn't love him or see it working. JP's answer "That's okay".
The crescendo is slowly building. Andi tries in a step-wise fashion to explain why it's not working for her.JP seems incapable of understanding. The thing is..i think he's capable or understanding English..but they don't value the same things. There is a different between hearing and seeking to understand. JP was wrong when he said "there's nothing wrong with thinking"..there is plenty wrong with thinking if you want to be with JP. You need to leave your cerebral cortex at the door...then everything will be okay. JP kept saying "that's okay" if you are not feeling it. Then he tries to help Andi understand "You only have to worry about 1 guy, I have all the other women". I need to say estupido again. This dude does not get women, unless you are a woman who is satisfied only by hand holding, hair sweeping (or eyebrow preening), good abs, good salsa dancing and kissing...and that's about it. The guy can cry on a dime but that doesn't mean he's sensitive or empathic. Maybe his head is just full of water.Andi stated her case, JP doesn't have the capacity to understand.i think he's a frontal lobe guy. Her brain organ trumps all of his. Go Andi...go Andi...

And the rosees go to (and are accepted by)
Nikki and Clare

Me encante este show!!
