UTAH!
Time to leave LA! We jump right into the dates. Garrett gets the first one-on-one date. They wander around Park City doing cute touristy things before taking a gondola up a mountain to go bobsledding with some actual Olympians: Valerie and Shauna are not only 2006 Olympic Silver medalists, but they're married, so I guess this date activity is a metaphor for love, too. Looks intense and fun and Becca and Garrett get champagne and a make-out session at the end.
Back at the house, we learn that Lincoln is a flat-earther and luckily the rest of the guys are as bewildered at his stupidity as the rest of us. There's hope for some of them yet.
Back to Becca and Garrett. In the evening portion of the date, Becca ask's about Garrett's past relationships. Turns out, Garrett was married and "one thing led to another, and we got divorced." What, what? When I say "one thing led to another" it's more like, there were free tequila shots and "one thing led to another and" I puked or, I was watching The Bachelorette and "one thing led to another and" I drank a whole bottle of rosé. Divorce maybe needs slightly more of an explanation. Garrett blames the whole thing on the girl, and Becca claims to be concerned, but also she finds Garrett, like, so cute, so he gets the rose. Oh, and a country concert where they dance and kiss on a little stage while Bachelor fans take pictures and ignore the country artist we've never heard of.
Group date time! Thirteen of the dudes still left get to compete in a lumberjack competition. They don matching flannel and throw logs around. But that evening, the drama begins. We get two dramatic story lines! First off, Jordan is pissing the guys off, but it's not David this time that gets riled up. Chris and Colton pull Jordan aside to confront him about not being here for the right reasons. As all of these confrontations go, it is not remotely productive. They call each other names and nothing is resolved. Then Jean Blanc spirals. He's clearly very insecure and decides to give Becca a perfume named "Miss Becca Blanc", plant a kiss on her, and proclaim falling in love. Hooooo boy is it awkward. And it only gets worse. Becca tells him she's just not feeling it and starts to walk him out. He stops her to throw a hail mary and claim he didn't really mean the falling in love thing and that he was just saying what he though she wanted him to say. She was rightfully taken aback, so he tries to take that back too... She cancels the rest of the night.
Wills gets the second one-on-one this week. Becca is still distracted by the whole Jean Blanc debacle, but Wills is a total sweetheart and they snowmobile and drink champagne in the snow, and it's super sweet.
As per usual around this time of the season, Becca cancels the cocktail party and they all go straight to the rose ceremony. Everyone blames Jean Blanc. Christen and Nick fail to get roses. Jordan is pissed because he got the last rose and he's never gotten last place in anything before. In fact, he beats out other male models all the time. He leaves us with this nonsense: "I'm like a sponge. You can squeeze me and get everything out of me but you'll never know unless you try." Good grief.
