1-on-1 Date: JoJo - helicopter ride to Valley of Fire State Park
4 episodes in and we finally get to see something of JoJo. First they enjoy some champagne on the roof. Then, their ride arrives...and proceeds to blow everything! The table goes flying! He sneaks a kiss behind the fallen table, while the other girls look on. Olivia was going on and on...and on...and on about how comfortable she is with her relationship with Ben. And how she is totally fine with him seeing other girls because he's her "piece" and he can't possibly have a connection with anyone else like the one he has with her. And then the kiss, and now she's all sad because he's going away with JoJo and he's going to fall in love with her while she is stuck at the hotel. Wow, that escalated quickly.
We saw about 2 seconds of their time in the helicopter, and before we know it, we are at the evening portion of the date. JoJo said her last relationship of a year and a half ended 5 months ago. She gave everything to him and he was not giving back to her and she wasn't the only one in his life. That experience worries her about the future and being with someone who won't reciprocate her feelings. He asked her if she was ready to move on and she said she was. She was glad that she felt safe enough to talk about her past with Ben. He gave her the rose and said (not to her) that he could be falling for her and the more he learns about her the more he likes her.
To end the date, they go outside and are treated to a "surprise" fireworks display. All the girls can see this from their suite...and jealousy ensues. Olivia feels like she is being cheated on. The twins are jealous that they haven't gotten to watch fireworks on top of the roof in their own city.
Group Date: Talent show - Lauren H, Rachel, Lauren B, Amber, Leah, Jen, Olivia, Amanda, Jubilee, Caila, Emily, Haley
Terry Fator (ventriloquist), joins them to help them with their talents. They get to choose from a rack of costumes and some various props in order to showcase a talent. Several of them are very worried because they have no talent. He then tells them that they are going to be his opening act, with an hour to prepare. I think some of them might be peeing their pant s right now.
The girls are sure that Olivia is hiding a secret talent. She sneaks time with Ben and she won't tell him her surprise.
Since I can't remember everyone and they only show them for a split second...I don't have all the names of who did what.
Emily & Haley - Irish step-dancing - they're actually really good
Jubilee - cello -not that great
? - juggling
? - hula hoop
Caila - hula dancing
Lauren H - chicken suit and sang a song about Ben in the tune of "Old MacDonald" -- cute and clever!
? - pogo
? - hitting tennis ball through a hula hoop
Olivia - Vegas showgirl popping out of a birthday cake and then making a fool of herself - painful to watch (Ben was so embarassed)...just make it stop
Terry made a joke about this being a "talent" show, and the girls were all making fun of Olivia behind her back. They couldn't believe that after having an hour to come up with something, that's all she could do. After the performances were over, Olivia has a meltdown. She claims to be having a panic attack. She said she didn't know if she could do this anymore. She said she doesn't have talent, so she tried to do something outside of her comfort zone and it didn't go well. She said she couldn't look at him because she knew he was mortified. She had one of those moments where she knew what he was thinking from his hug - she said it was a pity hug. What she did on stage "didn't scream marriage material."
We don't see it, but Lauren H, in her chicken suit, won the talent show.
At the cocktail party, Ben said he was worried about the date because he didn't know if everyone would have fun. He was glad they all got up there and did something.
Caila is first to have time with Ben. She didn't hold back and she just went in for a big kiss. She said she isn't used to group dates and it used to being spoiled and getting all of his attention. He told her that she has a quiet confidence that he loves about her.
Lauren H has a puppet from her win at the talent show. They have an awkward 2-on-1 date with the puppet. Ben needs to stick to his day job because he stinks as a ventriloquist. But it was still cute any way.
Olivia thinks she is getting the hives because she thinks she's done after what she did. She was so worried about what he is thinking. She told him how embarrassed she was. She wanted to show him sexy but it was awkward because that's her. He told her that it wasn't bad at all. And before they could say much more, a twin came and interrupted. She felt like she got gut-punched. She is beyond worried because that was the first time they have talked and not kissed.
The girls all think that Ben is slowly realizing that Olivia is not the type of girl he wants.
Lauren B tells him that she missed him so much and that she wants to be around him all the time. She isn't sure what to do with the feelings she's having. She wants to be realistic and know that he wouldn't fall in love with her after the first date. He told her theirs was the best first date. She said it's scary to think that that could be her last first date.
Olivia just can't let things go with how they left it. Emily and Ben were talking and she had to go in and break it up. She tried to interrupt, and Ben told Emily to keep going because he really wanted to hear her story. Ben said he didn't know what was going on. Olivia said she felt so bad after their first conversation and she wanted to start over. She started acting really bizarre (a little along the lines of Ashley S territory). He asked what was going on and said she didn't have to apologize for earlier. I really wish he wouldn't have kissed her after that, but it did make her feel better, and I'm kind of getting the feeling that he did it just so she wouldn't totally freak out and would leave him alone.
The group date rose goes to...Lauren B! Nope, not Lauren H for winning the talent show, and not Olivia for making her presence known...way too much.
1-on-1 Date: Becca - Ben gets ordained, she wears a wedding dress and they marry couples in Vegas
When Olivia's name wasn't called for the 1-on-1, she was super bummed because she really wanted the 1-on-1.
Before the date, she is presented with a big box...that has a wedding dress. She puts it on and she looks stunning! She gets picked up in a pink convertible and is taken to a wedding chapel.
Ben said he's been saving this date for her, and he knew that when he first met her that they could have something special. He got down on one knee and he asked her "Will you marry.....other people with me?". She was so stunned and giddy...and so glad she didn't have to answer that question right then.
So, Ben's ordained and he is so nervous to be officiating. They actually ended up marrying several couples, and it looks like they had a great time.
After the weddings, they go to the neon museum - where old Las Vegas signs go to die. What an interesting place. Ben is looking forward to asking some tough questions. He asked things were different this time around. She said it was because she already feels more at this stage than she did with Chris. She thinks the outome could be really great. He kept saying that he wanted her to "feel" and he wondered if she could "feel". So what, he thinks she's some kind of robot? That was a little bit weird. They talked about being a virgin and shared beliefs. He said he admired her commitment to keeping that and it shows him that she would be committed in marriage. She said her favorite part of the date was the vows at the wedding. He decided to make some vows to her. They were so good! Then he put her on the spot to come up with some, and she was a champ. I really love them together...so cute and so compatible!
He said she is perfect in every way. So, of course, she got the rose.
"Spontaneous Date"
Chris makes a surprise visit to the suite. He said that Ben asked for another date - Emily and Haley - Since, they are from Las Vegas, he wanted to spend the day with them, so he takes them out to see the town and they end up at their mom's house. He is hoping to make a decision about them because he can't see continuing with both of them.
One of the spoilers for the season said that one of the twins hurt her finger and had it wrapped and that's essentially how Chris and Ben could tell them apart. Tonight was the first that I noticed it on Emily's hand! Wondering if it happened during the soccer game.
They were embarrassed with all the pictures of them all over the house. Emily thinks she is having stronger feelings than Haley and she just needs her to go away so she can move forward with him. She told him that it's OK for him to treat them as individuals and not be afraid to hurt their feelings. She thinks this has been hard on Haley and she does open up slower.
After talking with their mom, he decided to say goodbye to Haley. He said he decided to do things this way because mom is there to support her.
Haley was sad, but she was happy that her sister gets to continue on the journey. She said she had a feeling this was coming, but she didn't expect it to be then.
Cocktail Party
Jen is the first to steal Ben. Olivia was so sure she would be the first to talk to him because she really needed to talk to him after the way things went the last time. Everyone cheered when Jen made a move and beat Olivia to it. No longer than a couple minutes go by and Olivia can't stand it, she has to talk to him. Ben asks why she's still single. She said "I'm about to get interrupted" and basically gave up.
Olivia told Ben that she wasn't good at getting out of a cake, but her talent is eating cake, so she brought in a piece...I guess just for her to eat? Next thing we see, it's gone. She continued to say that what she did on the stage was not her and she doesn't know what planet she was on. He told her to stop apologizing for the cake and for being awkward. He doesn't think she's awkward. At this point, she is bacially "Lace"ing herself by overstating the obvious. After their conversation, she "heard his message loud and clear". She said he looked at him and said she wasn't afraid to say that she was falling for him and she knew his look was saying the same even though he couldn't say anything to her. She told JoJo what happened, and JoJo was shocked that she would say that to him that early. Olivia made it clear that he reciprocated her feelings to her. She said "he's mine" and that her and Ben are "back".
Jubilee tells Ben how anxious and nervous she gets at Rose Ceremonies because she never thinks she is getting a rose. He told her she is beautiful and she is there because he is intrigued by her and interested by her and he wants her to realize that. She said she still doesn't.
Get Roses (11): Amanda, Becca, Caila, Emily, Jen, JoJo, Jubilee, Lauren B, Lauren H, Leah, Olivia
Olivia getting the last rose again, was sure it was another signal from Ben.
Eliminated (3): Amber, Haley (earlier), Rachel
Surprisingly, Amber was really devastated. She went and sobbed in the fetal position on a chair outside. She hadn't even really had a connection with him yet that we've seen. Not sure where that came from.
I can't wait for next week! So much drama coming up! The claws are coming out!
