‐ Yeah.
‐ So tonight,
during the Rose Ceremony,
I'm waiting for my name
to be called,
and then Sarah faints,
and then the night stops,
and there's still five
or six roses left on the table.
It has been a long night
of girl drama
with Victoria and Marylynn,
and now Sarah got herself
so worked up all night
that, like, physically,
she could not handle it,
which is insane.
‐ [sighs]
‐ And then now
she's having, like,
this really pure and
intense moment with Matt...
‐ Thank you.
‐ But it's just like,
she is getting
exactly what she wants.
[solemn music]
‐ Thank you.
‐ Absolutely.
‐ [exhales]
This is so embarrassing.
Oh, my God.
‐ [laughing] Stop.
None of that stuff matters.
What matters is how you feel.
I was worried about Sarah
for a second.
She was exhausted,
mentally and emotionally,
physically drained
after a night like this, but...
‐ I feel a lot better.
‐ I'm just glad I was able
to steal a few moments away
with her.
I think that
that made her feel better.
Knowing that she's healthy
is what's most important.
‐ All right.
I've, like,
never fainted before.
That was a first.
‐ Yeah.
‐ Thank you so much.
I'm so sorry, you guys.
‐ I've definitely never
fainted for attention,
and I don't think
I've ever even fainted.
You kind of, like,
pull it together
and don't faint.
This is "The Bachelor."
It's not "The Sarah Show,"
but Sarah didn't get that memo.
‐ [breathes deeply]
‐ Sarah, you good?
‐ Yeah, I'm good.
Sorry about that, you guys.
‐ Unfortunately, um,
Sarah has a rose,
but now I think Matt just
needs to send Marylynn home.
‐ Sorry for the delay.
I think... Matt?
All yours.
‐ Thank you.

Sarah's fainting.

that she's a good actor.
There's drama
between other girls, too,
but nobody decided
to bring it to Matt
except for Victoria.
Losing Matt
over something like this,
it just‐‐it just sucks.

That's not gonna get any easier,

attacking one person.
She is interfering
with everyone's relationships.

we realized‐‐ and he agrees‐‐
he needs to be pushed
a little bit.

‐ He has trouble
feeling uncomfortable,
and so I've had a hand
in curating
some of these experiences.
‐ Oh.
‐ And the point
to a lot of these
is to be comfortable
in being uncomfortable.
That's not an easy thing to do.
So three dates:
two group dates

That's because
there's a very important writer,
and his name...
is Chris Harrison.

He wrote a book called,
"The Perfect Letter,"
and "The Perfect Letter"
is a love story,
but it's passionate,
it's erotic,

there's a lot of sex in it.

Chris Harrison
writing this book,

going to be writing
your own love story with Matt.

I want it to be sexy,

are writing your stories
that it's not only going to be
shared amongst this group
and in front of Matt,
but also with a live
studio audience.

thing when you entered?
‐ He laughed so hard.
‐ Oh, good. Okay.
‐ It was like, boom!
‐ That's hysterical.
‐ Sex is important
for building a relationship.
I mean, in a way,
this is introducing him
to some of the things
that I think about
or that I would like to do
with him.
It's gonna be us, you know,
getting comfortable
with our sexuality
and talking about it.
‐ Yeah?
‐ Like, every single person
around me is going to know.

about you.
