This week, we get almost a standard episode: new location (new "great place to fall in love"), some dates, and then at the end of the episode, while we have no rose ceremony, there is no "to be continued" and all of the roses for the week are given out. To get started, Rachel meets the men at their hotel suite to inform them there will be three 1-on-1 dates and one 3-on-1 date this week with 4 roses to be given out whenever she pleases. Much to everyone's displeasure, she takes Bryan on the first 1-on-1 date.
Brian gets to drive Rachel off to an expensive watch store in a Bentley. They drink champagne and try on matching watches with black leather bands to which Bryan says, "I like black" and Rachel goes, "DOooO yOoOUuuu?" and then Bryan attack-kisses her while the poor watch salesman stands by and endures it. They then drink champagne and ride a boat. Over dinner, Rachel want to really talk to Bryan and understand why someone so perfect is still single. She asks about his upbringing, and he tells her how he was sent to an all boys school because he asked for an earring and there's got to be more to that story. She says she went to private school and Bryan asks her to describe her uniform which creeps me out, but apparently not Rachel. Next, they talk about Bryan's last relationship and he basically describes his a Rachel's (passionate, hot and heavy in a very short amount of time, met family super soon...). For some reason, his mom was an issue and the two broke it off. Rachel doesn't seem to notice any red flags and gives Bryan a rose.
We see the men back at the hotel speculating in pairs about how they want to get a 1-on-1 this week because duh. Adam wants to be "the broom that sweeps [Rachel] off her feet." He won't be able to attempt to be a cleaning apparatus quite yet, though, since Dean gets 1-on-1 date number two.
Dean and Rachel go to a Catholic church in old town Geneva to listen to a French service, though it would seem neither of them are Catholic or speak French. Then they wander around and dance adorably to a street performer. Rachel keeps trying to get him to open up about his emotions and Dean deflects with mature questions such as "do you believe in the tooth fairy?" and "what's your favorite dinosaur?". Rachel is frustrated, but luckily they have the evening portion of the date for Dean to redeem himself. Which he does; he opens up about how he's not sure about Rachel meeting his family since he doesn't have a great relationship with them. Rachel says she's not looking for a family just like hers and gives him the rose.
Much to Adam and Matt's dismay (because Adam and Matt are people on this show that apparently know Rachel and may in fact have been dating her?), Peter gets the final 1-on-1 date. Rachel takes Peter in a helicopter to the Alps. They dog sled and then sit shivering in the snow until they realize they should cuddle for warmth. Over the course of this date we learn that Peter considered leaving, he's never dated a black girl before, and that his last relationship ending made him really sad. He clearly gets a rose, which leaves Eric, Adam, and Matt on a brutal 3-on-1 date.
Rachel takes the three remaining bachelors on a boat ride to France where we see her talk to Matt for the first time since his limo entrance probably. He says he can still picture them together and Rachel kisses him, then cries and tells him how he reminds her of herself and that she wishes things were different but she has to say goodbye. It's an awful lot of emotion for a guy we've never seen. He takes his glass of champagne and leaves.
That evening Rachel chats with Adam and Eric. Adam says a part of him is falling in love with him and that he wants to bring her home. Eric says she'll be the first girl he brings home and that he hasn't had the best relationship models in his life. Rachel goes with her guy and gives Eric the rose, which is good because Adam went from "who?" to "ugh you're annoying" incredibly fast in this episode. He spent his limo exit complaining about how big of a mistake Rachel was making; good riddance.
Next up: hometowns! And this season looks like it might actually be the most dramatic hometowns ever!
