So last night I turned to my trusty DVR and watched this week's episode of The Bachelor (week 3). Boy oh boy do I love this show. I feel as though the girls this season almost have a motive to fit certain stereotypes and look forward to creating issues. It's great TV so trust me I am not complaining. Let's get to it....
The first one on one date goes to my girl Lauren B. After this date I am putting my official bet down that this chick takes it all. Ben is so into her. It makes me laugh though because all people say on these first few weeks of one on one days is "this is amazing" and "I'm so happy to be here with you". After the plane ride and the hot tub in the middle of nowhere session, Ben and Lauren go to dinner and actually have some pretty in depth discussions. Ben even says to the producers that he is so into her but doesn't want to get ahead of himself. Great date in the Bachelor world and Lauren B (maybe just call her Lauren now?) gets a ROSE.
The group date was straight up laughable. Ben takes them to play a healthy game of soccer and SURPRISE!!! the winning team gets the rest of the night with Ben. The twins are actually super good and it reminds me of a MaryKate and Ashley movie. It's the stripes vs. the stars and in a dramatic turnout, the game is tied at the end and it goes into over time. Rachel (I think that's her name?) hurts her ankle but REFUSES to sit this one out. Big mistake Raych, you cost your team the game despite Lace not know that the goalie (aka her) could pick up the ball with her hands. Isn't America great?
The stripes team heads to the Intercontinental Hotel with Ben and Olivia per ush pulls Ben off to the side before anyone can even take a breath. This betch is my least favorite person on the planet never mind the show. Ben eventually gets back to the ladies and takes some time with Amber. They make out and she shares some of her fears/reasons why she came back on the show and BAM she gets the group date rose....Olivia is pissed, but is confident that she didn't get the rose because Ben can't give her the group rose EVERY time and that he gave her a reassuring sign when he got up of the couch and "pushed off of her leg". If that's a sign for a guy wants to marry you I think I would be married by now. Just sayin.

The next one on one date goes to JUBILEE! She is super duper shocked she was chosen because she feels that she does not fit Ben's "type". Well Jubs, it's on.
He gets to the Bachelor Mansion to pick her up and she bitches that he is 20 mins late and then when she sees the helicopter he is taking her on she "jokingly" says to the other girls "who wants to go on this date, I don't". OH NO. The girls are pissed. Jubs, don't you know that some of these girls would kill, literally kill to be on that helicopter RN?
Anyways they go on this date and she makes a "white boy" joke (she is black) and Ben is awkward AF. She rebuttles with saying that that was the first time she has really seen Ben laugh and that he usually just laughs because he FEELS like she should laugh....what? Well it works on our boy Ben. After dinner and her opening up to him that she is the only surviving member of her family before she was adopted SHE GETS THE ROSE. What started off as the most uncomfortable date ever (she spit out food she tried that she hated) turned out to be okay. Ben seemed into her and sensitive to the whole "I don't have a lot of friends that are girls because no one understands me" stick.
ROSE CEREMONY:
Ben gets a call that two people close to his family back home died in a plane crash and he shares that he is having a tough day. Olivia OBVIOUSLY wisps him off to the side before he can even finish talking and decides that the best way to comfort him is to start crying over her cankles and how there are blogs dedicated to them (she is a news anchor). Ben is unimpressed.
Jubilee takes Ben off to the side to give him a massage to help him distress and calm down (super sweet actually) and all of the other girls (aka Amber, the twins, Becca, and JoJo) ARE PISSED because she already has a rose. They confront Jubilee and Amber gets in her face. Jubilee runs off and cries and Ben (swoon) comes to her rescue. Amber goes up to try to look like the nice girl (when she is not so shut up Amber). Ben stands up for Jubilee big time (probably because he wants more massages) and tells Amber to back off.
Lace goes home to work on herself. Good for you Lace, you were an absolute train wreck and I enjoyed watching you but I hope you figure it out.
Olivia gets the last rose and is convinced that Ben did it just to make things look less suspicious at how obvious it is that she is going to win. She then says that he squeezed her extra hard so she is very very confident in their relationship.
Jami and Shusanna go home.
Next week the Bachelor gang heads to Las Vegas (aka where the twins are from and their profession is "Twin" aka strippers??). Can't wait.
