Bachelor recap: Putting the HO in Tahoe

We're off to Lake Tahoe for a week of wilderness and wondering - namely if Bekah M will be divulging her age to Arie. But up first is Seinne, who gets the one-on-one date and parasails her way into Arie's heart (because love is like parasailing - it's scary and exciting, obvi). She later tells Arie how it was hard growing up not seeing anyone like her in fair tales (i.e. mixed race). She is a smart cookie, and I like her. So does Arie, as she gets the rose.

The group date is next, and the girls (everyone but Maquel, whose grandfather died so goes home, and Bekah M, who gets the next one-on-one date) hit the woods for an adventure. Which apparently includes drinking your own pee. Arie drinks from his Yeti, and Jacqueline prepares to down hers like a tequila shot, just as Ross almost drank the fat on Friends. Arie yells out that it's only apple juice, and we all have a good laugh. Next up: eating bugs and worms, which excites taxidermist Kendall to no end. Arie kisses her after this, which is even grosser than drinking fake urine. The girls are then divided into groups to traipse through the woods to find the "prize," aka a hot tub. Arie's group wins, and he hops into the tub and immediately puts his arm around Krystal. This makes her very happy and the others not so much. He finally realizes his mistake, but Krystal vows in her creepy baby voice to pull him aside later. She is sick of being a camp counselor to these girls who don't like her because she's "flawless." Alrighty then.

The last Lauren standing gets some time with Arie, and they smooch (of course). Krystal is next, complaining to Arie that the girls are being mean to her because he clearly likes her. He backs this up when Tia tries to interrupt and he shoos her away. So Tia decides to drink - and then Krystal has the nerve to pull Tia and Caroline aside to try to fix the situation. The gals aren't having it. Sorry fake smile. Tia caps it off by crying to Arie that her character has been attacked. And somehow she gets the rose, much to Krystal's chagrin.

Pixie cut Bekah is super psyched for her date, which she proves by jumping into Arie's arms. They hop on horses named Cowboy and General, and end in - where else? - a hot tub. Physical chemistry abounds, but how will Arie react when he learns she is all of 22 (14 years younger than him)?! He is shocked, tbh, but decides to roll with it. Hell - it's Tahoe. Let it ride! She gets the rose, because all 22 year olds are ready to get married. (Though she does explain that everyone in her family married at like 19, so there's that.)

At the rose ceremony, Arie decides against the cocktail party - he knows what he wants to do, dammit! But of course Krystal still gets one-on-one time because she's FLAWLESS. We say goodbye to Brittane and Caroline. Whoever they are.
