Becca comes home with gifts in hand - very Pretty Woman post-shopping spree - to show off in front of the ladies. She gets dolled up and goes out on the town with the kissing bandit, who earns his nickname by making out with her several times (with tongue!) She safely secures the rose, and actually seems like a smart, normal girl. Which probably means her time in the mansion is limited.
Krystal gets the next one-on-one date, which is shocking to everyone because TWO one-on-one dates?? WTF Bachelor? Krystal tries not to gloat, but ends up gloating because her perma-smile is glued on her face per usual. And her smile grows when she learns they are flying to his hometown via private jet, and she gets to meet his parents. Let it be known that Arie's mother and Krystal look fairly similar:
Later that night, Krystal diverts attention from her super-short dress to tell Arie about her sad upbringing - father not around, mother not very maternal, brother living on the streets. Sad, and Arie validates her by giving her the rose and his tongue.
15 girls get the group date involving a very dangerous demolition derby situation - and those 15 only includes one Lauren! The girls learn the rules: if the car stops running, you're out. They are then given spray paint to decorate their cars. Crafts! But Annaliese is crying. Apparently there was a bumper car incident in her past. Yes, you read that correctly. I would understand a carney incident, but bumper cars?? It seems pathetic, but it does get her time with Arie - way to work it, girl.
Bibiana flips people off and Tia loves the redneck-ness of this activity. Brittane knocks Arie out of the competition but then falls ill, so Siene wins the derby.
Later, Arie parks it in front of a fireplace and lets the ladies come to him, rewarding almost everyone with a smooch. Chelsea admits to having "another man in her life" - her son Sam. (Marikh calls her out for saying she gave up more than anyone to come on the show - get it, Kardashian!) Siene comes off as way too good for this show, having attended Yale and studied abroad in Brazil and Italy. WTF are you doing here, girlfriend. (Arie seems intimidated, so she probably won't be around for long anyway.) Siene gets the group date rose!
Bibiana is pissed that she hasn't had any alone time with Arie, and proceeds to keep drinking. She storms out, yells at the camera crew and slams the bathroom door. Awesome.
Bekah, little fairy sprite that she is, has a great convo with Arie. He admits to thinking she wasn't interested in him, and she can't believe this is happening. Cue makeout sesh.
At the rose ceremony, Krystal proves her "bad girl" status by stealing Arie away not once, but twice - AND she already had a rose! This is not lost on Bibiana, who finally says what I've wanted to say since this show began: when interrupted by Krystal, who says "do you mind if I steal him away?" Bibiana says "actually, yes I do." FINALLY! She then gives Krystal a piece of her mind, and Krystal doesn't really have a leg to stand on. Of course producers put them next to each other for the actual ceremony, and Bibiana is the last one picked. (Guessing producers made him keep her around for another week of drama, but I'll take it.)
The best part? Jenny, who did not get a rose and walked out right past Arie without giving him a hug or a "good luck in your search" or even flipping him off, which is clearly what she wants to do. He follows her outside and while she shows off how freakishly tiny her waist is, he tries to get her to give him a hug. She tells him she isn't going to miss him, but will miss the friends she has made (burn!), and finally consents to let him hug her but doesn't hug back (double burn!). But come on - girl is all of 25. Again, talk to me in 15 years.
