JoJo gets the first Vegas one-on-one date, and it's pretty cliche and boring. Champagne, check. Helicopter, check. "Opening up" about "feelings" and "past relationships," check. Fireworks, check. Kissing while watching fireworks, check. The only interesting part of the date was when no one had remembered that helicopters create wind, and their table of champagne violently fell over.
The girls initially laugh watching the helicopter arrive and terrify Ben and JoJo, but then they make out cowering behind their fallen table and everyone feels awkward. We get a hint of the crazy Olivia to come, as we hear how confident she is about Ben and how nothing can shake that, until she freaks out when she sees "her husband" kissing JoJo.
The group date in Vegas is in true Bachelor fashion: make the girls compete in something embarrassing in front of a lot of people. They get to perform a talent show as an opening act for some ventriloquist named Terry Fator. Jennifer says she "[doesn't] think many people have talents here," and she's mostly correct. The twins preform a choreographed Irish jig and Jubilee's not bad on cello, but the rest of the "talents" were cute and tame like juggling, hula hooping, or singing a song about Ben while wearing a chicken suit. And then we had Olivia. We got to watch like 10 minutes of her confidently bouncing around saying how she's not afraid to be embarrassed and how she's going to marry Ben, only to do an embarrassing and awkward stripper/showgirl inspired act, complete with jumping out of a cake. She's mortified (as is everyone else) and has a self diagnosed panic attack where she hides in the Boyz II Men green room and complains that with that "dance" she might not be marriage material. Personally, I think the whole cankle fiasco from last week was what makes you not marriage material, but sure, let's worry about an embarrassing dance in Vegas.

Anyway, the evening portion is upon us and Caila is the first to jump on Ben- literally. He calls her a "tigress" and a "sex panther" and remember this is a girl who broke up with her boyfriend to maybe get the chance to date a guy she saw on TV. Olivia steals Ben to apologize for being so embarrassing, snap a lot, and say she needs to drink heavily, which I hope is what Ben was doing to get through the evening of awkwardly trying to comfort Olivia when he'd rather have that sex panther back.
Lauren B. gets the group date rose.
End Scene.
Now it's time for Becca's one-on-one! She is given a wedding dress and driven to a chapel in a pink Cadillac. Jubilee notes "she's the perfect person to wear white." Because she's a virgin (and thanks to Kaitlyn from his time on the Bachelorette, we know Ben is not- which they actually discuss on their date).
They don't actually put that wedding dress to use, but instead officiates some Vegas weddings (Ben conveniently got ordained online), and then drink at the Neon Museum and talk about Becca's virginity. They tell each other cutesy vows about being honest and fun, they kiss, and Becca gets a rose.
Normally we would get a rose ceremony at this point, but instead there's a surprise two-on-one date! Or should I say, a twin-on-one date! Ben takes Haley and Emily (who we still can't tell apart) to their mom's house with all their dachshunds and then leaves Haley there.
The rose ceremony is unremarkable, except Olivia steals Ben twice to act super insecure and weird. Ben seems uncomfortable and kisses her to make her go away and then Olivia talks in the third person about how she's back in the game. Ben still gave her a rose- albeit the last one, to which Olivia said he saved the best for last and everyone else said NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Girls we lost this week:
Haley, who did weirdly still have framed photos of her ex in her room;
Amber, for whom third time was not a charm and maybe should just try Tinder or something;
and Rachel, who now has no boyfriend AND no job.
