Bachelorette recap: Muscles in Brussels

We find ourselves in Brussels - which looks super cool and I will be adding it to my list of European cities to visit - with Andi, Chris Harrison and the six lucky bastards who are left.

The first date goes to Marcus, and it's fairly uneventful - they walk, they smooch, they dance to a band I've never heard of - so, typical Bachelor/Bachelorette date. He says he's falling for her, even though he almost bailed and went home. Andi doesn't seem to mind too much.

Back at the hotel, Nick decides to up his super villain-ness by going down to the lobby, telling the concierge he lost his key but can't remember the room number, and they freaking give him a key to Andi's room. Thereby instilling stalkers everywhere with a new method. Holy security breach, Brussels. Andi is afraid - that Nick is going to leave, but not that he's a psychopath - and agrees to walk and smooch on a secret one-on-one. Not helping your case, dude.

I would not be me if I didn't also mention that Dylan has his hair in a man-bun. That is all.

The second (real) one-on-one goes to Josh, who Andi still doubts and thinks too good to be true. But once he says the magic words "I'm falling for you," we're back on track and kissing can resume. Thank god.

The group date involves castle ruins and some cart bike mechanism which involves Andi not having to pedal. While the guys are asking for inhalers (and randomly rhyming). Nice. After they towel off, she announces that the one who gets the rose will get to stay for dinner, but the others will have to cart-bike go home. This ups the tension, especially when Nick tells the guys the rose is practically his. He isn't afraid to tell this to Andi, either - because she's falling in love with him. Or so he says. He may be right, because he does score the rose, to the chagrin of Brian, Dylan (maybe you should have kept the ponytail in, dude) and farmer Chris.

They decide to let Nick have it when he comes back to the hotel - immediately afterwards, apparently, since the poor guy didn't even have time to take off his coat and scarf. All the guys (aside from Dylan, who is mysteriously absent and I assume trying on man headbands) feel that Nick is sly and caluculating (he watched the entire Des season of the Bachelorette, for god's sakes!) and - say it with me - not here for the right reasons. I'm starting to wonder the same thing.

The cocktail party before the rose ceremony is intense, as Dylan, Brian and Chris know they are on the chopping block. So Chris does what he has to do and pulls her outside to plant one on her. To which Andi replies, "You go, farmer!" Oh no. But clearly that's what she was looking for, because Josh, Marcus and Chris get the roses and next week's hometown dates. (Doesn't look good for Chris sitting in the cornfields, however.)
