First drama to revisit: the Blake vs Lucas crap, which thankfully they realized no one wanted to talk about (Adam said Lucas should have said wha-boom once and then "wha-bye") , so we quickly pivot to DeMario. DeMario decides to double down on his barely know Lexi, said she's a side-chick and demanded someone show him an "ocular fact" proving they were a thing. No one's really buying it, and he tries to make a Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky parallel which made no sense at all. Jamey pipes up for some reason and DeMario tells him he's irrelevant (which is true) and then Iggy chimes in so I guess we're addressing him now. Rather than apologizing for stirring shit up, he also doubles down and says he'd do it all again. Lucas calls Iggy a joke to which everyone else are like, dude, wha-boom, you of all people can't call someone a joke.
But now for the main event: Kenny and Lee. Dean says that Kenny was probably the most well-liked guy in the house, and Lee, was, well, not very liked, so that should tell you something. Dean is very good at saying everything but the word "racist" when talking about Lee. DeMario says Lee was cool to him before he left, and the other guys said, yeah, they all thought he was cool too until he started antagonizing the black guys. Kenny said it didn't feel like racism in the moment but more like Lee felt out of his league and was getting defensive and lashing out. At this point, Chris Harrison calls Kenny up to the hotseat. Kenny says that the Lee situation got in the way of his and Rachel's developing relationship. After some more back and forth with Lee, Chris Harrison brings out Kenny's daughter who, when asked if she's proud of her dad, replies "yeah I'm proud of you. You were like number 8." Kenny gets choked up and Chris Harrison says they're sending them to Disneyland (which is less impressive when you realize Disney owns ABC).
Lee gets a turn in the hot seat next, and it's pretty clear he planned a sort of apology about not being a considerate friend to the guys in the house, but the guys aren't having it. Chris Harrison brings up some of Lee's tweet, who claims they were bad jokes or something and he's sorry if he hurt someone, but he's hurt too (?). This goes on for a while, and eventually they get Lee to denounce that one tweet as racist (which is literally the least he could do) and the guys say they appreciate it and that they'd be happy to help him become a better (ie less racist) person. It's unclear whether any progress was actually made here with Lee, but Chris Harrison seemed pleased with himself, so there's that.
Next, Dean gets a turn at the hot seat and he is wearing an awful camo-print tux jacket and says how he was glad to have opened a door with his dad and that he still wants to know why Rachel said she was falling in love with him just to send him home. Rachel comes out to the hot seat, so Dean gets to ask her, and she pretty much gave the same response as before: she was falling for him and sorry. Chris asks Rachel about DeMario and she says "who?" Lee tries to apologize and Rachel sort of accepts- says she'd be happy to give him a lesson in black history and women's rights and that she hopes he's taken advantage of the opportunity to meet a bunch of great guys who are different than him. Adam asks if she'd do anything differently, and Rachel said spend more time with him and Matt, to which Matt says, nah, you did the right thing. Fred gives an incredibly rehearsed speech that started out like he was mad at her for not giving him a chance even though he already had feelings for her but ended with I'm glad you're happy, which was a weird 180. Kenny tells Rachel she has his number if Peter, Eric, or Bryan don't work out.
Then we get bloopers, which they always heavily promote as the best and are mostly lame. We did get an interview with Dean where he puts his chewing gum behind his ear, and when his interviewer was like wtf, he puts it back in his mouth and swallows it. It's weird, yet the ladies still love him.
And that's it for these men! Well, unless they are on Bachelor in Paradise, in which case they have another shot at embarrassing themselves on national television.
