The Bachelor (2002–…): Season 27, Episode 2 - Episode #27.2 - full transcript

- Tonight on "The Bachelor"...

- A bad bitch will grab
the attention

of everyone in the room.

Oh! Oh!

- I'm feeling like
I'm on cloud nine.

- I do have to tell you
something,

and it's pretty big news.

- That's a lot.

- We're literally dating
the same guy.

That happy for someone.
Like, you can't be

I'm hurting.



- Guess who just crashed
our party.

- Who?

- I'm freaking out right now.

- She's trying to move in.

- Surprise.

I'm back.

- Honey, I'm home!

We're at the mansion!

It's such a surreal feeling.

In a mansion before.
I've never lived

the luckiest girl in the
I literally feel like
world.

My time with Zach was amazing,

and I'm waiting for the moment
I get to see him again.

Maybe we can hit the hot tub.



Get in there, get wet.

Oh, that didn't sound right.

Cheers to Zach.

- 20 girls all fighting
for the same boy.

Man, I should say.

He's not a boy.

He's got... he's good.

He knows what he wants.
- He's confident.

- What he wants, yeah, yeah.

- So it's like, that sets
apart a man from a boy.

Zach!

- Waking up this morning,
I feel so hopeful.

Better than expected.
Night one went

There's already women I'm having

really strong feelings with.

I never thought
in a million years

I'd be given this opportunity.

I'm gonna make the most of it.
You know,

I want my forever person.

I want, you know, my partner,
and whatever happens,

I will always just follow
my heart.

Today we're starting the dates.

To see these women again.
I'm so excited

- So how was that first night
for you all?

- I did not think
that I would kiss him.

I wasn't expecting it.

Had to eat a cookie
to calm me down.

Um, and I was, like, shaking.

- I didn't know what to expect.

I know, like, meeting him
at the live show

got the nerves out.

So I really got to just
kind of vibe with him.

- Greer, what about you?
Congratulations.

- Thank you.
- Of course,

First Impression Rose.
You got Zach's

knowing that he feels
How does it feel

such a strong connection
with you this early?

What I felt was validated.
- It makes it feel like

- And Brianna, how about you?

Of course, America gave you
the First Impression Rose.

How are you feeling
this morning?

- Excited, nervous.

I mean, although America
did give me that rose,

I definitely haven't gotten,
like, that validation

from Zach yet.

So I definitely want to explore

America really saw something
and see if, you know,

when they chose to put
me and Zach together.

- Zach was actually telling me
that he really does believe

his wife is in this room
right now.

- That gave me chills.

- That's how excited he is.

That he didn't have a chance
He's really upset

to talk to you all last night.

So Zach's gonna do things
a little bit differently.

This week,

all of you will be going
on a date.

Three dates this week.
There are gonna be

- Oh, wow.
- Wow.

- There'll be two group dates,

and there's gonna be one

incredibly intimate
one-on-one date.

Ooh.

There's gonna be roses
- And as always,

up for grabs at all the dates.

I do have something right here.

Got the first date card.

Hope you have fun this week,

at the next Rose Ceremony.
And I'll see you

Okay.

- I do feel a spark
and a connection with him.

- Moment of truth.

I gotta do to get that time.
- I'm gonna do whatever

these other beautiful girls
Competing against all

might be hell.

- It's a group date!

- Brianna,

Brooklyn,

Katherine,

Mercedes,

Bailey,

Davia,

Cat,

Genevie,

and Kylee.

- Yay!

- "I'm looking for
big, big love."

- "From Zach."
- Ooh!

- What on Earth does that
mean? - I don't know.

- I am feeling so excited.

It's my first date.

It's his first date.

Out of the house.
We're getting

- Here we go!

- Here we come, Zach.
- Let's go!

We're just gonna have...

So much fun, whatever it is
that we're doing.

- For my name to be on
the first date card,

like, let's go.

I'm so excited.

- Whoo!

- It's a big deal.

So I have to seize every moment

and ensure that I stand out,

and then hopefully leave
with that rose.

Okay!

It's Latto!

- We walk in and we see Latto.

I am just freaking out.

I love her music.

I am so obsessed with her.

- What's up, ladies?

Hi!

- I'm here to take over
the date.

- Y'all ready?
- Yes!

Bad bitch energy for Zach.
- I'm looking for some

- Zach comes out
looking, like, sleek

with his black leather jacket.

- Hello. Hello.
- Whoo!

- His, like, all-black...
Oh, he just looked so good.

- How's everyone doing?
- Good.

- How exciting is this?

Latto. I'm freaking out.

- They... they giving me
bad bitch energy.

I ain't gonna lie.
- Already? All right.

- Bad bitch energy
is being beautiful

inside and out.

I think it's more so inside
than it is out.

I think people think
bad bitch energy

physical appearance,
is more like

when the whole time,
it's confidence.

A bad bitch knows how to
So the first lesson is
dance.

What y'all working with.
So I want to see

I know Zach want to see
what y'all working with.

Oh, my goodness.

- This is my first date
as the Bachelor.

Like, nervous and excited,
Still gets me a little,

but I'm ready to get loose.

I can't wait to see

and have fun with it.
How they respond

- Nope.

Oh! Oh!

Professional dancers here,
- Literally, there's

and I'm like, "I got
the rhythm from Oklahoma."

Like, this...

we're all fighting for time
I mean,

and want to stand out.

- Y'all having fun?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

- So the thing is,
- Yeah.

Y'all was gonna be y'all thought

the only ones on this date.

I knew it.

- There's...

- Eh-eh.

Some other bad bitches

wanna meet Zach too.

- We already have enough
- Oh, no.
girls.

- There's more women coming
on today's date.

- Gosh.
- Oh, no.

- No, don't say that.
- No.

- Look, they nervous.
- Okay.

- What the heck?
This is our first date.

Like, what is going on?

- Oh, my gosh.

- Bad bitches never get nervous!

Here they come!

Stop.

- There's more women coming
on today's date.

- Gosh.
- Oh, no.

- No, don't say that.
- No.

So Latto gives us
the horrible news

that there's new girls coming.

Like, there's absolutely
no room for more girls.

- Oh, my gosh.
- I'm...

Stop.

- Oh, no.

- To my surprise,
the iconic ladies

of Bachelor Nation
walk through the doors.

Victoria...

- You are not going
to come in here

after being sent the home

for good reason

and treat...
- Oh, my God.

- "Oh, my God."

- Tahzjuan...

- You're the pigeon.
- Yeah.

- I'm a seagull.
- Oh, okay.

- And Courtney.

- I feel like I'm winning.

- These girls embody exactly

what Latto is trying
to pull out of us.

- Latto brought us in

for the bad bitch alumni
that we are,

and she needed a little help,
like, judging,

and we were more than willing
to offer that up.

- We promise we are not here
to steal your man.

We are so excited for Zach,

and we just want
to see him happy.

Opportunity to help him find
So we jumped at the
his baddie.

- A bad bitch will grab
the attention

of everyone in the room
no matter where she is,

what she's doing,
who she's with.

She's a bad bitch.

I want each one of you
So the deal is,

to walk through those doors
and strut this catwalk,

like my baddies did.

Any tips for them to stand out
and just make Zach think

they're the only girl
in the world?

- Just do what you gotta do.

Your husband's on the line.

- Literally.
- Literally.

- Some of the girls know
what they're doing,

and they're performers,

kind of scary, right?
So that's, like,

'Cause they're used to it.

But at the end of the day, like,

I have to find my
inner confidence

and, like, show 'em up.

Gotta do it.

Gotta do it for Zach.

Hopefully I'll look
like a bad bitch.

Mercedes is so hot.
- Oh, my God,

I could not keep my eyes
off of her.

Zach couldn't either.

- Ooh!
- Ooh!

- Kitty cat!

- Seeing how confident
all these women are

made me nervous.

Like, you know, but...

'cause I gotta bring it.

Oh!

- Blacked out a little bit,

ended up choking him
a little bit.

Not good.

- He likes to be choked.

Crash and burn.

- Whoo!
- Yeah, Bailey!

- Oh, wow!
- Okay!

For big wig energy.
- I'm looking

It was kind of a tough crowd,
but it's okay.

- There were some baddies...

in the worst kind of way,

you know what I mean?

Like, they could take
some pointers.

Some of the girls need to try
a little harder.

- Let's lose the hat.

- Oh! She got the moves!
- Ooh!

- Okay, Kylee.
- Ooh.

- Don't hurt nobody, Kylee.
- Uh-huh.

Don't hurt nobody.

- I think Kylee definitely
is in her element.

I mean,
the girl is an NBA dancer.

- Everybody had, like,
their own little swag.

Their own little moves.
Everybody had

I was not nervous,
I was not rattled,

bad bitch energy.
Because I got

- Go, Brianna!

- I love it!

- She's confident.
She's confident.

- Brianna's idea was good,
and so it made me, like,
jelly,

'cause I was like, huh,

it might have been better
than mine,

and we can't have that.

- Some brought it,
some didn't, okay?

- Some didn't.

- Yeah, I would say some
of y'all are holding back.

- So for the final challenge,
I need you guys

about one time of your life
to tell Zach

when you were a real bad bitch.

- When you stood your ground.

Like, when you just were
yourself and you said,

"No, like, I'm gonna be me."

hear it from you.
And I want to

Like, who you really are.

- I'm a little nervous
with public speaking.

It's definitely not my forte.

What I want to say.
I have in mind

it comes across good.
I just hope

I have a poor white mama

who tried to navigate
through my curly mess.

And they basically told me,
I was in a competition,

"No, you can't wear
your natural hair.

Only straight hair wins."

Not only did I go and compete
with my natural curls,

but I was a bad bitch and I won.

- Yeah! A bad bitch.

My savings to go out on a limb
- I managed to actually use

and start my own beauty company.

Finally, like, be my truest
And so it felt good to
self.

- Brianna, like, how she,
like, had a bad bitch moment

and she, like, started
her own brand,

she... like, that's just amazing.

Even though I left Tennessee,
- You know,

I found the only "ten I see,"
so...

Ooh!

- Sure, I'm gonna be, like,
goofy as hell,

but like, that is my...

The baddest version of myself.

I think us being up there

kind of, like, gave us a chance

to kind of give Zach,
like, a glimpse

of, like, who we are.

- I did that by myself,
so, like,

that was my bad bitch energy.

- It just felt, like,
very empowering.

- But on that note,

I do have one thing for you,
Zach.

If you want to come with me
real fast...

- All right, all right.

- And we're gonna have
a tequila shot.

- Okay, we got a plot twist.
Okay.

- Oh, God.

- Ooh, hot.

- I feel good.

I feel bold.

You're obviously worth it.
- Zach,

up here on stage...
That's why I'm, like,

In the middle of California
just like, hey.

- All the women are
really stepping up

and doing something
that is not easy.

And I'm very excited
about what I saw.

All the women blew me away.

- I loved you guys's stories,
and I commend you

on exuding confidence up here.

You're all bad bitches
in my eyes.

I think Zach has a lot of
options on potential wifey.

I think a lot of the ladies
are very confident

mature, fun, spontaneous.
And very well-spoken,

it's time to get ready
And on that note,

for this after-party.

They can't even compete.
- These girls,

I'm the baddest bitch
in the room, obviously.

Very easy on the eyes.
Zach is very cute,

"Come join my season,"
If Zach said,

I would be like, "Buckle up.
Everyone get ready."

- We've got some
big, big things in store

for the next season
of "The Bachelorette."

What are you waiting for?

How cool is this place?
- Great.

- Oh, this is beautiful.

Into this after-party.
- We're going

I definitely have feelings
for Zach, and it's so soon.

I really want to kiss him.

I live, eat, and breathe
for a make-out session.

- We're going in here.

- This is so cute.
- Oh.

Oh, the wine.

- If he gave me that rose,
that would be like

a physical validation
that I stood out,

and that would feel really nice.

- I do want to get a cheers
to all you women.

An incredible group date,
Like, this was

and I can't wait to talk
to all y'all tonight.

Like, this'll be a great
night. - Yes. Yay!

- So cheers to y'all.

Cheers!

- It was a great
first group date.

Let's just keep it rolling.

- Hello, how are you doing?
Hi.

- I'm good. How are you?

- Yeah, busy day, huh?

- It's a long day.

- I want to get to know
about you, though,

seriously, because I know
time is limited.

- It is.
- And...

how did you get to this point?

Very intentionally,
- I date, like,

like with a purpose.

I don't really, like,
do it just because.

- Just to date to date.
- Yeah.

Something I left in college.
It's just like, that's

- Like...
- Right, right.

- That's not something I'm...
- There's a time and a place.

- Correct, and I feel like
you have the same intentions.

And when someone is on
the same page as you,

it makes it a little bit
easier to just, like...

I don't know.
- Yeah.

I really want someone,
like, forever,

and like, shared experiences
are so much better,

refreshing to hear that, like,
so it's, like, really

for something serious.
You're looking

There's something here.
I don't know.

"Yeah, I love our little
- I know I was like,

best friend thing
as our foundation,"

but I want to make something,
like, very clear.

- You're not just my friend.
- Yeah.

- No?
- No.

- No.

- Ah, I'm feeling flustered.

Well, we kissed.

That was great.

It's such a perfect start

of our relationship.
To the rest

And it does feel like,
okay, like, I like him.

Like, okay, I like him.

Like, that's crazy.

Like, what?

Is stressing me out
- This rose

looking at it, 'cause I want it.

It would be really special
- I think for me,

to get the rose, because I mean,

you guys got roses from Zach,

and so you guys are kind of
all really validated

in the fact that, like,
you know for sure

possible future with you guys.
That he sees, like, a real

Um, I was super... like, I'm
so happy that I was chosen

by America, but it always kind
of leaves this bit of doubt

in my mind, like,
of whether or not

what I feel for him
is reciprocated.

I'll be honest, like,
I was going through

a really tough time
the first night.

Like, I had a lot of jitters
coming in.

I was really unsure
about our connection.

- Hello, hello.

- Hi. It's good to see you.

I was picked by America.

Zach didn't pick me,

so I haven't gotten a rose
from Zach yet.

Tonight, because insecurity,
I would love to get it

nervousness, I get those.

I feel... I had the rose
and I felt those.

- So how are you doing?

How's everything going

the past couple days,
including today?

I know it's a lot.

- Yeah.

Honestly, like,

it's been really, really hard,

we're moving into the mansion,
um, 'cause I was like,

I have any support system,
and I don't feel like

and I was super, like, rattled
the day we spoke.

- Night one?
Um...

- Night one, yeah.

- Really?

So it was really hard
- But yeah,

I could be comfortable,
to feel like

because, um...
I'm so sorry.

- No, no, no, that's okay.
No, that's okay.

Maybe I should go home,
- Like, I was like,

if I didn't have this rose,
'cause honestly, like,

I don't think Zach would've
cared to have me stay here.

- No, no.

A lot... a lot harder.
- Which made it

- Like, I really am, like,

impressed with everything,
like, really.

Reason. Like, I see something
Like, you're here for a
in you.

So I don't want you to feel,
like, uncomfortable or weird.

- The Brianna that you met

on that first day
on the stage...

- That's the Brianna.

Like, I like to have fun.
- Like, I'm flirty.

Like, I want to hug you.
- Yeah, yeah.

- Like, I want to be...
- Yeah.

- Like, I wanna be around you.
- The Brianna side today

was, like, fun, like...
- That's me.

- Yeah, we're still getting
to know each other,

like, and I really appreciate
you being here,

and uh...
- Yeah.

- If it's okay with you,
I'd love to kiss you...

Again.

- Yes, I would love that too.
- Is that okay?

- Yes.

It felt good to be able
to, like, be vulnerable

cry a little bit and, like,
and, like, even, like,

just have him, like, care.

I want this group date rose
so bad.

Like, for me, it would mean

that he really does see
something here.

- Everyone's getting a date
this week,

but Jesse said it's gonna be
an intimate one-on-one.

I have a lot that I really
want to talk to Zach about,

about being a mom.

I definitely want it to be me.
So if it's intimate,

- Oh, my God, oh.
It's happening.

You guys ready?
- No.

- Ahh!

Let's let our love soar."
- "Christina,

- Oh, my God!
- Ah!

- I freakin' called it.
- Aw.

- Ahh! Ahh!

Aw.

- Y'all...

- Congratulations.

- I can't even explain.

There was that connection,
I knew that

but there's also a lot of girls,

so this is so validating.

- I'm so happy for you,

how important this was to you.
Because I know

Thanks, everyone.
- Thank you.

To spend all day with Zach.
I'm so excited

Just kind of have fun and not
think about all the girls

having the best time
with Zach right now.

Thinking about it.
Dang it, I'm

you know, like, the giddiness
- Right now, it's...

Of, like, something new,
it's definitely that feeling.

- The butterflies.
- Yeah.

- The butterflies.

- The group date was so fun,

and I also got, like, really
close with you girls too,

which, like, also means a lot,
you know.

Didn't have any expectations
- So I, like, really

and I could not have asked
going into this,

for anything better.

- It was like a dream,
- Yeah.

Like, group date.
- Yeah.

- This is a really good group.

Everyone's been hyping
each other up today.

I can't imagine
if there was drama.

I mean, I know it will come,

but tonight it's gonna be fine.

- Who wouldn't want that
to be your husband?

Like, who wouldn't?

You'd be crazy if you didn't.

- I know.
- Yeah.

- A bad bitch is about
to enter the building.

Watch out, ladies.

- Zach is an amazing guy.

He's a very sweet, kind person.

And so I'm here to see

if there's anything there
with Zach.

- Like, I enjoyed
my time with you...

- But like...
- Yeah.

- Hi.

- Hello.
- Hey.

- Hi. Sorry to interrupt.

- What's up?

- Can I grab you
for a quick minute?

A really brief moment.
Just a... just

You can have him back.

- Can he come back?

Yeah, of course.

- All right, I'll be back.

Hello, hello.

- Hi.

You look nice.

And now it's just me.

Tahz, what are you doing here?

Like...

This was our group date

and our cocktail party.

The whole situation
was just so weird.

It's just like...

Y'all are gonna die.

- What?
- No, no, no.

- Y'all are gonna die.
- What?

- Guess who just crashed
our party.

- Who?

- Say it.

- Tahz.

- Tahzjuan?
- What?

- She's here?

- Yeah, she just crashed
our party.

- She's with Zach?
- No way.

- Do you want to grab a seat
real quick with me?

Surprise.

I'm back.

- What is this?

- Well, nothing too crazy.

- Okay.

- How are you doing?
- You're back.

- I know, right?

So unexpected.

- Tahzjuan, she's here?

- Did she interrupt your date
to grab him?

- Yeah.

- She's here like be here
and like talk to him?

- Maybe she has a question.
Maybe she has a question.

- Oh, she has a question?

- Maybe.

- She came all the way here
for a question?

- Maybe it's a good question.

- I was immediately shook,
like, jaw to the ground.

Never in a million years
did I think

she was there to steal my man.

- She's trying to move in.

- Are you having a good night?
- I am.

- I love the outfit change
very well.

- Thank you.

- I'm here to shake things up
a little bit.

Zach is the full package.

He's just, like, also, like,
very real and nervous, too,

which is, like, so endearing.

Zach checks all the boxes.
And I think

Do you want to grab a seat
real quick with me?

I think if Zach's willing
to give me the opportunity,

then I would love to join
this journey with him.

I know that it's been, like,
a very long day for you,

but, um, I would be remiss
if I didn't pull you aside.

- Okay.

- I just wanted to, obviously,

bad bitch energy...
- Okay.

- Lay it out there.

I think you're a great guy.

- Thank you.

- You have a really good head
on your shoulders,

and I appreciate that,
and that's definitely

something that I'm looking
for, um, in my partner.

- I... I appreciate that.
In life.

To add myself to the mix.
- And so I would love

Just wanted to see
where you're at.

- Yeah, wow, that's a, uh...

That's something new,
interesting.

I know.

- I can hear his voice.

- I mean, this is annoying.
Like...

- I'm getting annoyed.

No, I'm getting annoyed.

- I think that we gave up
a lot to be here,

and like, she just swoops in?

- I'm sorry to lay it on
so thick and early,

but you know.
- No, I get it.

You have to do what feels right.

- Just follow my heart and...

- Follow your heart.

- And see how it goes, so...

- Yeah, I definitely don't
want to hold off myself from
anyone

that could be my future person,

so I'm gonna have to think
about it.

- Yeah, that sounds good.
- Okay.

- Yeah.

- All right.

Thank you.

- Okay, if they're still
talking, like, I want to go.

- All right, let's go peek.
- Should we go peek?

- All right, come on.
- Ooh, everyone?

About to go confront Tahzjuan,
- The girls and I are

because we need to get
to the bottom of this.

This is not okay.

Tahzjuan, you have got to go.

And I'm not sharing my bunk.
You cannot have my man,

- How's it going?

- Hi.
- Hi.

- How's it going?

- What are you doing here?

What's, like, your intention?
- Yeah,

- Yeah, no, so obviously,

I was here to kind of judge
the baddest bitch, right?

- But I just feel like
- Mm-hmm.

Zach has a lot to offer.

To kind of get to know him
And I just came here

what he's actually looking
and understand, like,
for.

Like, today, some of you guys

missed your opportunity

to really connect with Zach,
and it was just like,

who... who is his wife
in the group?

- Wait, what do you mean?

- Wait, what?

- Well, I saw you guys
on the stage,

and it was just, like,
very painful to watch.

- Did you just come here
to tell Zach that, or like...

I'm just confused
with the intention.

- If you guys were
in my position

and you see something,
you go after it, right?

You guys are here for love.

I'm also here for love.

And if my conversation
makes you uncomfortable,

then that speaks for itself.

At the room of girls,
When I looked

I don't know if I could see

any of them being
the one for Zach.

I mean, I was taking
more initiative.

These girls did not understand
the lesson.

I would love the chance
to get to know him

along with these other ladies,

and I think the girls should
be a little bit nervous

that I'm joining the evening.

Look, I'm not new to this.

Room against me, and I'm good.
It could be 20 girls in one

If you all want to come at me,
then I'm fine with that.

You come in here knowing
- But like,

that we put everything
out there today,

and then you're like, "I just
don't think people brought
it."

Like, that just kind of rubs
me the wrong way.

- It's called a competition.

I mean, unless you guys want
a participation trophy,

someone has to come up on top,
like, obviously, you know,

and there's gonna be losers
at the end of the day.

- I know, and I get that, but...

- You guys aren't all
gonna marry Zach.

Right? You guys do know that.

A lot harder from here.
It's gonna get

- Well, this is awkward.

I don't feel awkward.
- Is it, though?

Would you like to talk?
- Tahzjuan,

- Yeah.

Thanks for the conversation,
ladies.

Nice speaking with you.

- You too.
- Bye.

- If he brings her in the house,

I'm just gonna have to pull
him aside real quick

and be like...

- He knows this would cause,
like, an issue.

A connection with her,
- But if he feels

then I think he's gonna want
to explore it, so...

- I immediately feel like
I'm gonna vomit in my mouth,

it could go either way.
Just because

So I'm freaking out
right now, basically.

Ahh.

- He's intentional with, like,
women he keeps around.

- So that means
- Mm-hmm.

If she does actually move in,
like,

there's something
that's happening.

It's the right thing to do
- I don't think

to bring someone else in

when he's nurturing
these connections right now.

So I think it will be telling
of his character,

the way he handles everything.

- But I'm just, like,
really confused.

- Exactly.

- Hi, ladies.
- Welcome.

- Um, wow, what a night, huh?

- Isn't it?
- Yeah.

- Yeah, uh,

so had an interesting
little exchange,

to let everyone know
and just want

Tahz wanted to join the group,

and...

I couldn't say yes to that.

I'm establishing, like, actual
feelings with all of you,

and just want to let you know
that she is no longer here.

It's just like,
everyone else figures it out

and finds their person,
but like, I never do.

I want the best for her,
- Tahzjuan,

'cause she does seem like
an awesome girl,

but it's the wrong time.

- Like, bad bitches don't cry.

- Sometimes, yeah. It's fine.

Like, she shot her shot.
- I mean, Tahzjuan,

I mean, she literally followed
Latto's rulebook.

It's not anything
against her at all,

but it's not fair to the women

that I am establishing
early connections with.

I'm really hopeful

to give out a rose tonight.
And I'm really excited

Uh, this rose, um,

it means a lot,

because a lot of connections
have been formed.

And I didn't think,
to be honest,

that it would be formed
this early on.

I think...

who I'm giving this rose to,

um, is, uh...

Katherine.

Will you accept this rose?

- Yes, of course.

Thank you.

- Of course.

- I'm feeling a little,
like, panicked.

Like, I wanted to get the
rose, genuinely.

- With that being said,
I do have to leave.

It's kind of awkward.

But I would love to give
everyone a hug before I go.

- I thought we were in
a really good place.

Kind of feel like And so it did

a little bit of a slap
in the face.

- Cat.

Just makes me feel, like,
And it also

nervous about, like,
our connection.

I just want to be able
to show him,

like, there probably
isn't anyone

more genuine and devoted
than me.

- Did everyone kiss him
last night?

- I don't know.

- I don't think everybody did.

- He's a really good kisser.

- I feel like Zach
right away will know

if you want to use tongue
or not.

- Wait, I did not know
that, like, tongue

that was used in every kiss.
Was not something

- Well, way to rub it in
that I'm...

- No, no, no.

- Jess, you've never made out
with tongue?

- No, I use tongue.

Like, I've... obviously.

When I'm, like, fired up,
But it's more

maybe I'm laying down.
You know,

- I don't like when people
stick their tongue in my
mouth.

- Guys, now I'm wondering that
I stick my tongue in too much.

Like, did I do it first?
- No.

- I don't know if he did it
first or if I did it.

You got the rose,
- Considering

I would think that maybe
he liked it.

- Yeah, he liked it, dude.

The big tongue energy.
- He liked

- The big tongue energy.
- Ahh!

- The big, big love energy.

Oh, my God.

- All the ladies were putting on

as I was getting ready.
Some swimsuits

I'm getting all glammed up.

They're gonna probably have
a pool day or something,

which that's fine.

I hope they have fun,

the first one-on-one!
'cause I got

Ah!

I can't feel my body.

Very excited.

I wanna know what we're doing.

The first one-on-one
I mean, to have

means more time with Zach

to share the big news
that I'm a mom.

I love being a mom.

It's who I am, but he definitely

that side of me yet,
has not seen

it doesn't throw for a loop.
So hopefully

- He doesn't know, right,

your daughter and stuff?
About, like,

a lot to talk about tonight.
- Oh, no, we've got

- Yeah, yeah.

- Oh, my God, he's here.

- Hi.

- Good morning. Good morning.
- Hey.

What's up? What's up?

Christina, are you ready
for our date?

- Bye, ladies.

- Bye!
- Bye!

On a one-on-one with Zach,
- We all want to be

seeing him with Christina
so for me, it was hard

because I haven't
even talked to him.

Like, I didn't talk to him
the first night.

But I'm trying to be positive
and remind myself

that it's not the moment
to get discouraged,

and there's still time.

- Hi.

- Hi. Give me a kiss.

- Hi.
- Hi.

I'm so excited for this date
today with Christina,

who really surprised me
right out the gate

from when we first met
at the live finale.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Whoo!

- From everything
I've seen so far,

I really like being around her.

About, like, your music taste.
- Okay, so tell me more

Like...

- Nickelback.

- Don't.

Okay, so I love Nickelback.

So when I'm out...

- She's so free-spirited
and so fun

and she has this big heart,

but she's also got a little...
Little spice to her,

so I like being around her.

- More about me. Just kidding.

- It did start off
really hot with her,

we can learn about each other.
But there's still so much

I'm really ready for today.

It's actually a big day.

Only going up from here.
Hopefully,

No, we're not.

There's a helicopter.

This is on my bucket list.

Like, outside and get close?
- Are you ready to go,

- Let's hit it.
- Okay.

- Oh, my gosh.

- How cool is this thing?

- We're getting in this?

When I woke up this morning
I never imagined

that I'd be on a helicopter.

Oh, my God.

I've never even seen
a helicopter

up close in person,
I don't think.

- My heart's pounding.
- Oh, my gosh.

- I can see the...
- Are you ready?

I am so freaking excited.

I just am so happy.

It's, you know, time with Zach.

And what cooler way to do it?

- This is awesome.

- I can't wait to see
where we're going.

- Is that their one-on-one?
- Wait.

Wait, is it?
- Where is it?

- It's right there.

- The Bachelor mansion
right there.

- There they are.

- Oh, that's definitely them.

- Damn.
- Aw.

- So beautiful.

Look at that.
- Oh, man.

Traffic reporters.
- We should be

It's really smooth today.
- Oh, yeah.

We got lots of cars
on the freeway.

At the Hollywood sign.
- Oh, look

Wait, really?

- I'm loving my time
with Christina.

Like, so romantic up here.
I mean, it's gorgeous,

Zooming through life
with someone awesome,

I mean, that's the best thing
you could ever ask for.

Wild.

- Whoa, this is breathtaking.
What?

- We are in a cloud right now.
- Yeah.

- In the cloud.

I'm feeling like
I'm on cloud nine.

But this day is far from over.

If Christina thought being
in a helicopter was exciting,

just wait till my next surprise.

Not totally over yet.
Our date's

- What are we doing?

My childhood home.
- So we are at

You're gonna be meeting
my mom, Megan,

and my dad, Chap.

And you're... and you're gonna
meet maybe about 20 others,

family, friends.

- No big deal.
- No big deal.

- You're throwing this on me.

My poor little heart.
Okay, my heart.

Okay, I'm ready.
- Just do it?

Meeting the family
is never easy,

and it might be scary
for Christina

to get thrown right into it,
right out the gate.

- Oh!
- Hey.

- Whoo!

Happened earlier this week
- But my mom's birthday

so today we're having
and I missed it,

a family barbecue with my mom...

- Welcome. I am Megan.

- My Dad...

- Welcome.

- Sisters,

my dad's firefighter buddies...
The whole shebang.

To get to know Christina more,
And obviously I want them

but just also have fun.

Everyone, this is Christina.

- Hi, everyone. Hello.

- And believe it or not,
it's our first date.

- Oh.
- Yes.

- Well, cheers. Welcome.

- To first dates.
Enjoy.

- To first dates.
- Yeah.

- What a first date.

Going to a barbecue with Zach

meeting his closest family
and friends,

his mom celebrating
her birthday,

it was crazy to find out
that's what the date is.

- Hi.
- Hi.

This is the firecracker.

- Firecracker.
- Sammy is.

But knowing their family means
so much to Zach,

he chose me to be on this
it's really cool that
date.

For my brother, of course.
- Like, I am in this

I support him 100%,
and he's an absolute
gentleman.

And it drives me nuts
that he actually hasn't

found somebody to appreciate
how amazing he is.

- Here's the thing, though,
like, sorry,

but he's a really
good-looking guy.

Like, I knew that was there.

To be goofy in the best way.
But I didn't expect him

- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Have you had the chance
to speak with Christina yet?

- Not yet.

She's visiting with Amy
and Peyton right now.

- And the cousins.
- Yeah.

- Oh, and the cousins.

- I don't even want
to talk to them.

- No, I don't want
to go over there.

- I might have to go rescue her.

- He's over there.
He's not listening.

Tell me all the dirt.

- Should we tell her
about the rash?

- Be nice.

I mean you.

He's nervous.

I want to talk more about how
good-looking our cousin is.

- He was in a band.

- I need to see pictures
of this.

- He was in a band?

- He was in a band?
- He was in a band?

- I didn't...
- Oh...

- Let me see that.
- Wow.

- Oh, my God.

You're literally wearing
- I think

a red flag in this picture.

- I'm seeing Christina
fitting right in,

and everyone seems happy
and have the biggest smiles,

Christina included.

- She is confident.
- Thank you.

- On your own mother?
- Oh!

- I know, I feel so bad!
- Mom!

A pretty special feeling
- It is

knowing that my family
really does like her.

- For my kids, I did just
their first year of life.

So I did want to show you
him as a baby.

- Oh, my gosh.

- Little cutie pie.

Wait.

That's your baby.

A little cute baby, huh?
- I mean, he was

- Adorable.
- Yeah.

So you see parties
in the backyard.

So just some silly little,

like, parties on the block
and...

- Everything is going
swimmingly,

but when his mom pulled out
the baby album

reminding me, you know,
I do miss my baby,

and I've got some
conversations to be had
tonight.

Interrupting anything.
- Hope I'm not

- And so are they, um...
- Baby pictures.

I saw that from a mile away.
- You know what?

- I don't want it to seem
like I'm hiding anything,

because I'm really not.

I wanted him to see
the side of me

that he was able to see today

before telling him
that I'm a mom.

I'm proud of my circumstances,

but I understand
that it's a lot.

I am really liking Zach
and his family.

And tell him the things
I want to go ahead

that I need to tell him.

- Happy birthday, Mama.

Thank you.

Oh, I love you.

Is that maybe it's too much.
- The fear with that

Happy birthday.

- Happy birthday.
- Thank you.

But I'm gonna push myself
to do it, though.

Put it all on the line.

And if it is too much,
that's his decision.

I'm happy to be here.

First one-on-one date.
Pretty cool

- Today was great.

- Today was wild.

- What else do you have
in store?

- Just having a nice
little dinner together.

Such an amazing time today.
- Zach and I had

It's been really fun so far,
but beyond that,

some heart to heart,
we've gotta have

very serious conversation
about who I am,

that I do have a daughter,

and that it's probably the thing

I'm most proud of in this world.

Thank you.

I would be disappointed
Of course

if it were to end up
being too much for him,

but ultimately, the question is,

are we right for each other?

That's what he sees,
And I hope that

that rose tonight,
because to get

it would mean so much to me.

- To a wild first date.

Really, today was about one
of the most important parts

of my life, family, and I was,
I mean, more than impressed,

but it really doesn't matter
about impression.

It really was how awesome
of a day it was with you.

So I want to cheers to you,
cheers to family

and getting to know you
more, so...

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

- What you said, right?
- Right.

- Now recite it back.
- Cheers.

- Backwards?

Okay, but actually,
you really did kind of

just throw that on me.

- Did I not?

Like, I really did throw you,
like, into the...

- You did.

- The lion's den.

I mean, granted, like,
my family's not mean.

They are literally
just absolute angels.

- No, but they do know you
and they love you...

- And you're really lucky
- Yeah.

And like, that's just amazing.
To have that,

- And you being there was
the best case scenario.

You really, like,
blew me away and...

- Thank you.

I had so much fun today,
and I really wanted

to have some time
one-on-one with you

because I do have to tell you
something,

and it's pretty big news.

- It's nothing that,
- Mm-hmm.

I wanted to hide from you.
You know,

to openly feel safe,
I just want you

if it's too much for you in that

genuinely understand,
that I will

and then that's okay.

But I do have a daughter.

- Okay.

- And she's five, almost six.

- Wow.

- She is my world.

- Yeah.

What's her name?

- Blakely May.
- Blakely?

- Blakely.

- Blakely, I love the name.

- She's real... she's even more
Southern than me.

She says, "I'm Blakely May."

and she's just so incredible.
That's her,

and like, it's who I am.
And so I'm a mama,

how your family's love is,
And I feel like

as far as unconditional love,
once I had my daughter,

that is what I felt,
and I want that for me.

She just started kindergarten.

I had to send her off first
day of school by myself.

Experiences with somebody.
I want to have those

- Yeah.

- Life partner, best friend,

someone to do life with,
but like, love.

Like, I actually know
what love is now.

- Yeah.

You know, it's... it's wild,

because I can, like, sense,
like, that motherly love

you have for your daughter.

Like, that is incredible.

And I really appreciate
you being open

and vulnerable to share that,
'cause that's hard

and it's nerve-racking.

- Right.

- It's a lot to take in.

But what I am looking for
in the future

is a family to build upon.

And the fact

that you already have
someone in this world,

like, that is incredible.

And I bet Blakely
is an incredible

little five-year-old girl
that's full of attitude.

To feel stressed about that.
So I don't want you

It's scary, don't get me wrong.

I don't know what it's like.

- That feels way more real
than just saying

is the right thing to say.
What you think

- Because I do have
- Mm-hmm.

My baby girl, my Blakely May.

- Mm-hmm.

- That's who I'm raising,

and I don't want to do that
by myself.

- Yeah.

- So if I'm going to grow old
with someone,

if I'm gonna have a marriage
and a partner and teammate

like I hope to have,

that's able to, you know,
it needs to be someone

take on also what I'm doing,
for me.

- For her, yeah...
- Yeah.

- But for me too.
- And you.

- You more than deserve that,
and so does Blakely.

And it's something I do need
to, like, think about

because it scares me.

- And I trust that you will,
and I want you to.

- Yeah, yeah.

- I want you to think
of all the ins and outs,

because I'm chasing real.

- Yeah.

Wow.

- So let's drink.
- Let's drink.

Let's... let's have a couple sips.

- Whew.

- My heart's starting to pound.

Like, I am feeling
all these feelings

for this amazing woman.

With Christina letting me know
about her daughter,

I love that,

I've always wanted kids, because

is it kind of introduces
but what this does

a timeline real quick.

That's my fear, and I don't know

if I'm ready for it.

I don't know if anyone's

for something like that.
Ever ready

how to react to this.
I don't know

Like, I'm not perfect.

Like, I'm scared of it.

And I think sometimes
you have to be selfish.

Um...

- I feel like the date's
probably going well.

A very bold personality.
Christina has

- Yeah, she's gonna keep him
on his toes.

- Out of anyone here,
I think she was

the perfect first one-on-one

because we're all looking
for a husband,

but she's looking for a father.

For him to digest too.
- And it's a lot

Is he ready for that?

Because not only are you
committing to Christina,

you're committing
to her daughter too.

It's all in or nothing.
You know,

- Where I'm feeling right now
is like

a little overwhelmed, I guess.

You know, it's, it's a lot,
like, having another, like...

- Human.
- Human.

- That's another life.

- Another life. Yeah.
That's a lot.

And I would be doing you
an absolute disservice

you know, this is great.
By either saying,

we can just get through it.
Like,

And what I said earlier
was true, like,

I do want a family.

And that is important to me.

Obviously, you saw it today,
like that means a lot to me.

And I already feel like

there's something here...
- Same.

- But I want to be honest
with you, like,

when I heard you're a mother,
I had so many

through my head of, you know,
different thoughts run

I'm here to find my...
My person and spend

the rest of my life with,

but does that entail
being a dad right now?

I want to be a dad one day,
And, yeah,

I don't know if I'm ready.
But like,

if I'm gonna be a good dad.
Like, I don't know

Like, that's a lot.

Like, Blakely seems
like a great girl,

and you more than deserve
to know how I'm feeling.

With Christina letting me know
about her daughter,

and she caught me off guard...
I'm terrified,

But for the better.

A powerful thing with her.
It was really, like,

And I want to get to know
more about this,

and I want to get to know
Blakely a little bit more.

I really, really appreciated
my time with you.

To offer you this rose,
And I do want

because I think
the world of you,

and I want to take
the time with you,

because I think you're worth it.

And you, like, are showing,
like, me signs of someone

you know, a long time with.
I really want to spend,

And, obviously, like, I can
tell you a kickass mother,

and I want to get to know
more about Blakely,

but I also want to figure
this out for myself,

too, if I am ready for this.

But I... I understand
it's two ways.

Like, I will accept this rose.
Let me first say that,

Thank you.
- Yeah.

- This means a lot to me,
of course.

But I also, at the same time,
I'm happy I'm a mom,

that is a lot to consider,
understand that

so this rose to me
means so much.

This is, like, heavy stuff.
- This is, uh...

I mean, it's early.
- I know.

It's a lot.

That you're really, And the fact

really thinking about it...
- Yeah.

- I'm just really thankful.

- I gave Christina the rose

really strong with her.
Because I'm feeling

about her and her daughter.
I want to know more

There's real feelings there.

- Thank you for today.

- Thank you. What a day.

And how we handled
that conversation,

that is what I'm looking for,
that maturity,

that ability to sit down
as two adults

and hear each other out.

So I want to spend more time
with her

so I can better figure out
this whole thing.

And really hopeful.
- I'm so happy

I got to have the conversation
that I needed to have

and he was so honest with Zach,

about how it felt to him.

We had bigger conversation
than just the rose.

It was so meaningful,

because if it's me
at the end of this,

it means more than just me.

- Nominate your grandma,
your grandpa,

or any single senior citizen

who's still young at heart
and looking for love

- I'm really excited.

I feel like when you guys...

The first group date came back,

it just got me so excited.

Hearing all the good things
I mean,

you guys have to say about Zach,

I feel like I lived it
through you guys.

So, like, now I actually
get to experience it.

A lot of the girls,
their relationships with Zach

have been progressing already,
so I'm just thankful

that I get a group date today.

I've been patiently waiting.

- Bye, guys.
- Bye, guys.

- Zach hasn't had a chance
to really chat with me

since I got out of the limo.

So if there's gonna be
an opportunity

a relationship with Zach,
for me to form

it's gonna be today.

So I'm excited.

I'm ready to go.

- Hello, hello, ladies.

Hello.

- This is my backyard.

All the decorating yourself?
- Did you do

- All of it.

This is my last group
date of the week,

and I just want
to keep it simple.

I want to get to know all
the women as much as I can.

And I want to make sure
I have actual time

with each of these women.

- This is so nice.
- Aw.

- I've already formed
some strong connections,

but tonight will be
the first time

I have a first conversation

with quite a few of these women.

So I'm very excited for tonight.

Cheers to each and every
single one of you.

Cheers!

- I'm really happy that Zach
wants to take the time

to really get to know us
on a deeper level.

- Have fun.

- I feel like
people don't get to see

how sensitive I can be,

because living in New York,

you go on a date with someone,

all of your emotions.
And you hide

So it's nice to know
that I can actually

and be very open with him
be very sensitive

in that way.

I didn't get to talk to you
I was really upset that

because I really did
the first night,

when I stepped out of the
feel connected to you
limo.

And I really did feel something,

which never happens.

I never get nervous
or butterflies.

So I was thinking,

because this process
is very scary,

and I have a hard time
being very vulnerable,

I was thinking that we could
write down our biggest fears

in coming here and doing this.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Um, I think my biggest fear
in coming here

is getting my heart broken.
- Yeah.

It took me a long time
- Because I think

to recover from the last time
my heart was truly broken.

World-ending type feeling?
- Kind of like

- Yeah, it was very dramatic.

- I've felt that...
I've felt that too.

- But you have to open
yourself up

in order to open yourself up
to heartbreak

a positive situation to being in

and finding your person.

- Yeah.

My biggest fear
is that, you know,

I, like, really fall for someone

to find a true best friend.
That's not being here

- Mm, I think that would feel
like the ultimate betrayal.

- Yeah, exactly.

- I actually have another one.
- Okay.

- Do you want to read
my biggest fear?

- Do you want me to?
- Yeah.

- To not be kissed tonight.

I think we can get rid
of that fear.

- You think so?
- I think so.

- Okay, I'm happy to.

I truly never feel this way.

I think I'm, like, red.

I think I'm, like, blushing
in places I shouldn't be.

But I feel amazing.

Very, like, seen today.
And I felt

And I felt very heard
and very smooched.

- You're glowing.
- Yeah.

How'd it go?
- Oh.

- Did you kissy-kiss?
- She kissed him.

- Did you kiss him?
- It was really nice.

- I think it, like,
- Oh.

Squashed all the nerves
that I had night one.

- So now I feel really good,
- Yeah.

He actually got to know me,
because I feel like

that one-on-one time.
And we really had

you deciding to give me
- That night, like,

the First Impression Rose,
I was like, oh, my God.

Like, so the zing that I felt,
that wasn't just me.

Like, he felt it just as easy.
- Right, right.

Yes.
- Yes.

That's all I can say.

Like... like, Greer? Uh, yes.

And, uh, come here.

- Okay.

Tonight's going perfectly.
- So far,

a lot of the connections I mean,

have grown a lot quicker
than I could have imagined.

I do really enjoy
hanging out with you

it was pretty, like, easy
and I think

right out the gate.

- Yeah. I felt that too.
- It was like...

- What are you laughing about?

- Nothing.

I just get giddy around you.

Oh, my God, I don't want
to stop kissing you.

- My connections have been
so strong

with a lot of these women
tonight.

And what's just impressed me
so much

is how open and vulnerable
they're willing to be.

- I've really chosen people

that were not compatible for me.

- You seem like an incredible,
awesome, kickass girl.

I'm intrigued by you.

I'm very much a guy that wears
his heart on his sleeve,

and I'm looking for a connection

that just feels so effortless.

I see something in you,
For me, like,

to learn more about you.
And I would like

Because I feel like
there's a lot to...

- There is.
- Peel back.

- I want to feel safe
and vulnerable.

You know, just as much
as I'm asking the women

to feel comfortable with me,

I can feel that, same with them.

- When you're in the room
and we make eye contact,

like, I get, like, oh, God.

It's like I'm crushin'.
Like, I get...

- You're crushin'?
- I'm crushin'.

And I'm, like, excited.

Okay, I did have
a question for you.

- I want to know
- Yes.

Something, like, unique
about you.

It could be serious.
It could be fun,

Like, I just want something
that, like,

only I would know at this point.

- Yeah. Yeah, I like that.

Do you know anything
about, like,

why my mom and I have, like,

such a strong relationship?
- Mm-mm.

- When I was born, like,
I was like diagnosed

like, it was like a disease.
With pyloric stenosis,

And I was told that, like,
I was not gonna live,

my mom kept fighting.
And, like,

this crazy sense of purpose,
And I feel, like,

like, I'm here for a reason,
and I can't believe

I'm talking about this
right now.

I've ever actually said this
I don't think

unless my mom said it, but...
Really out loud

- It's hard, but like,
I mean, I'm glad

you felt comfortable
to share that with me.

I can't imagine, like, And like,

having to go through that.

Opening up to me.
Thank you for

I felt comfortable.
- Well, I guess

- I truly believe, like,

a connection growing,
Zach and I have

and for him to open up
something about him,

that just meant the world to me.

And like, I just felt
like time stopped,

it was just me and him here.
And like,

that, like, first interaction,
- I think everyone needs

and like, I didn't have that
the first night.

I'm, like, anxious.

- Like, anxiously waiting,
- Okay.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know?

Kind of make or break for me,
- Today is, like,

because I haven't had
a conversation with him yet.

Like, sitting down,
like, one on one,

and like, he knows literally
nothing about me.

I'm already behind.
So I feel like

- He just definitely,
like, really, like,

was so good at, like, validating

and reassuring, like,
that he wants me here.

- He was like, "I'm just,
like, so attracted to you

"and so intrigued by you,

all these amazing qualities,
"and you have

"like, because you're so
great, you know?

Like, why are you single?"

he hyped you up a lot
- It sounds like

in that conversation.
- Yeah.

- That's like...
- Yeah.

To not pick yourself apart
- It's hard

in this environment,
because you have girls

that are constantly saying,
"This was my conversation,

"this was my conversation.

We did this, we did this,
we did this."

- Who makes out with tongue
and who doesn't?

That's literally what we all
talk about every day.

- I always overthink everything.

But it is hard to, like,
not compare yourself.

We're just really eager...

Eager to get that time.

Still, like, very positive
- I think all of us are

of, like, everyone's, like,
connections being formed,

but we all recognize
that it's a fine line.

Like, we are, like, sharing,
You know what I mean?

But like, not oversharing
to, like,

make anyone uncomfortable.
- Right.

I will say, though,
like, there have been

that are starting to, like,
a few girls

share a little bit too much.

It's like, I don't want...

Truly, I don't want to know
if you kissed.

About the details of it.
I don't want to hear

Like, I'm here for him.

I'm not here to support you
and be like,

keep kissing my man."
"Oh, yeah,

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Like...

Right now,
it's, like, very girl power.

Like, "Oh, I'm so happy for you,

I'm so happy for you."

But we're literally dating
the same guy.

That happy for someone.
Like, you can't be

I'm gonna have to start
walking away,

like, getting up
and walking away.

'Cause I just don't want
to hear it.

- Yeah.

- The anticipation
is quite literally

making me frustrated.

Like, a grounding technique.
- Okay, we're gonna do,

So I want you guys to find
one thing you can taste.

- Tequila.

- Please, if you can taste
Zach's saliva, don't say it.

- Ooh.

Oh, my God.

- There's so much comparison
in this process,

and I think I'm really
in my head right now.

- It's been nice to have
other people who understand

that you're going through,
the exact same thing

but then it's weird
'cause they tell you

how things are going for them.

But I don't want to rush,
like, what you and I have.

I want to make sure
that what we're doing

is, like, right for you and I.

- You have such
a good perspective

that I hope everyone has

because it's really healthy
for everyone's mental state.

- I think the best thing
you can do

like, spiraling in your head
is actually not keep,

as much as it's hard to control.

- I'm really hoping
that I can, like,

like, quality conversation
have, like, a genuine,

with Zach tonight.
- Yeah.

- I'm gonna wrap in quirky, fun,

here's where I'm from, who I am,

and then get deep all in one.

And then I'm gonna tie
a little bow on it,

maybe give him a little...

I want to tell him
everything about me,

but I also don't want to get,
like, so deep

in, like, one sitting.

And then I also don't want him
to think

I'm, like, surface level

and, like, I can't have
a conversation.

And so, like, wrapping
all those things

and tying a bow on it
is like really hard.

- I have not talked to you
really at all

other than maple syrup.
- Mm-hmm.

I'm Gabriella from Vermont.

My middle name is Nicole.

And you'll see this about me,
I make nicknames for people.

Lloyd Shallcross.
- I'm Zachary

- Zachary Lloyd.

- My actual birth certificate...

- Can I call you Zacharias?

Zachy? Zachy-poo?
- I prefer...

- Zachy... Zachary...

Zachy...

I think Zachy is...
- You could...

- In due time.

- Is fine.

- You can call me Gabriella.

- Gabriella?

- Yeah.

Or maybe Gabi.

- If I'm lucky.

A very, very close family.
- Um, and I have

They're so, so special to me.

I miss most about Vermont,
I think the thing

being in Houston, is like,
doing things outdoors.

Like, I grew up, like,
hiking, kayaking.

One of my favorite things
Like, I went to...

We'd go to the farmers market
we would do is, like,

on Saturday mornings.

- Oh, love 'em.
- And like,

my mom would teach me
how to cook,

like, all day long.

It's so important for me
to, like, find somebody

who, like, wants
to have a family

and wants to have that life.

It's not just, like,
And like, to me,

getting married and having kids.

It's so much more than that.

It's like a true partnership.

I think that's something
And like,

my parents also taught me

of a partner you have to be.
Is just, like, how much

- Yeah

a lasting impression,
- I want to leave

but I feel like I was trying
to, like, get everything out,

and now I'm just word vomiting.

I really like talking to him,
and like,

I want to get to know him more.

- How did your conversation
go? - Oh, yeah.

How'd your conversation go?

- I'm not sure.

I felt like I was trying
to, like, get a lot in there,

and then it just felt a lot
like "The Gabi Show,"

and it wasn't really
"The Gabi Show."

Or I didn't want it to be.

Like, I wanted it to be,
like, more equal.

Some of the other girls,
like, when they were talking

about their conversations
with him, they maybe, like,

got a little bit farther
with him than I did.

- What led to the kiss?

- He just kind of...
leaned into it.

- How was it?
- It was good.

It was...

I would love to get
a little reassurance

he really does want me here.
That, you know,

And I'm just hoping that
our conversation was enough

for him to, like, want
to learn more about me

and, like, keep me around.

To thank everyone again
- I wanted

group date today.
For quite the

A lot of you have really
impressed me,

with the conversations,
like, blew me away

and I appreciate it
more than you know

you really opened up.
For how much

So I really appreciate that.

Ariel, from night one,
we didn't really talk,

and then I thought
things were really,

and easy with you, really smooth

and that's all I can ask for
at this point.

Kaity, our conversations
are fun and effortless.

It was a big conversation.
Jess,

I think we both opened up
quite a bit,

more than maybe anticipated.

And I appreciate
you being there.

The person I'm gonna give
this rose to...

Jess, will you accept this rose?

- Mm-hmm, yes.

- There you go.

- Zach went around
and, like, mentioned

the conversations he had.

- Ladies, I will see you all
really, really soon.

Who hadn't talked to him yet.
- Even to Ariel,

He was like, "I, like, really
liked getting to know you,"

and like, he didn't mention
his conversation with me,

and like, that just, like,

really, like, scared.
Made me feel

to really express to him
I didn't get

how much it means to me
to be here.

There isn't a reason for Zach
So I feel like

based on our conversation.
To keep me around

What did you bring to the table?

Nicknames.

- What? No, I'm not.

All the girls talking
I just hear

about their conversation.

Like, Ariel, I'm so happy
for her, but he's like,

"Oh, I like didn't get
to talk to you before."

Like, I talked to you now
and it's like,

did my conversation with him,
like, literally mean nothing?

Like, there is no validation
at all from him.

I shouldn't have to feel
like a worthless person.

I'm... I'm hurting.

- It's gonna be weird,
like, seeing someone...

Anyone, like, go home.

- That's the hard part.

- We're all competing
for one man.

- I know.

- Mm.

- Tonight is the second
Rose Ceremony.

So right now, there are
20 women in the house,

and 3 of them have roses.

You can really feel the pressure

and the tension in the air.

Like, I couldn't sleep
last night.

I was having, like,
a lot of anxiety.

The group date rose.
I didn't get

So tonight, I'll hopefully get
a rose from Zach,

which will be amazing

and will really
make me feel like,

okay, he does want me here.

Won't get enough time tonight?
- Is anyone nervous they

- There's not enough time
tonight already.

- This has been an exhausting
but incredibly fun week.

Tonight is an important night

to solidify some of those
early connections,

but there's also
some connections

that I don't really know
where I stand.

My first opportunity
- Last night was

to, like, even meet Zach,

'cause I didn't get to talk
to him on night one.

So it's definitely scary
that I'm a little behind.

- I'm excited.

At the cocktail party,
I think tonight

I'm gonna have a lot of answers.

- Ooh.
- Hello.

- Hello, hello.

What's up, ladies?

Wow. Absolutely stunning.

I'm freaking out again

in front of all of you women
at once.

But thank you for being here.
This is a lot,

a big, fun week, I think.
And this week was

I saw some real
bad bitch energy,

and I'm feeling like
a bad bitch right now.

I'm not gonna lie, but like...

and I think with
my one-on-one date

with Christina,

I really appreciate you doing
something that was scary.

Meeting my family was no joke.
I mean, like,

But I appreciate you,

and it was an awesome time.

- I also didn't tell them
about that.

- Oh. Yeah. Yeah.

Surprise.

- Yeah, yeah, um...

- I'm so shocked.

A rose from Zach before,
I have never gotten

but she's already met
his family.

- There's real connections here,

and I am more excited than ever,

so cheers to you,

for the rest of our night,
and I can't wait

so...

Cheers.

- That kind of, like,
got me in my head.

You do kind of feel a little
powerless in this situation.

You know, it's tough.

- Hello.

- I'm so glad to chat with you.

- I know. Me too.

- And see how you're doing

and also see, like,
comfort level.

Like, is this getting easier
as the time goes on,

or is this still like,

did I sign up for?
What the frick

- It's getting easier...
- Okay.

- But it's still like,

it's been really
a hard adjustment.

I think it's been hard And like,

we're a little, like...
Because, like,

we're a little behind.
Or it feels like

And like, it's hard
to not compare myself.

But I do want to tell you
that, like,

I really appreciate, like,

to speak to every girl,
you making time

a lot about your character.
Because like, it shows

And like, I want you to know,
like, how excited I am

and, like, how, like,
that it's you,

grateful I am to be here.

- I actually really do
appreciate you, like,

how you're feeling with this,
letting me know, like,

because, like, specifically
with you, like,

I get, like, so, like, giddy
and, like, butterflies

in my stomach.
- Aw.

- Constantly.
Me too.

- Yeah, me too.

- Yeah.

- I have something for you
to help you...

- For me?

- Yeah, to help you
get through the night.

- Uh-oh.

- So I remember you saying

peanut butter cups,
that you like

so I brought you some.

- Gabi...

- So...
- Here.

Can... are you gonna eat one
with me?

- Are we... Here.

To "Lady and the Tramp" it?
Do you want

- Oh, 1,000%.

Okay.
- Okay.

- Ready to do it?

Oh, you dropped it.

You want more?

- I want more of you.

A little bit more.
- You can take

You got my lip on that one.

- Oh, sorry.

I kind of liked it.
- Not bad.

- Little bit.
- Yeah?

- A little nibble.
- A little nibble.

- Should we try again?
- I think... I think so.

- It felt so good
to, like, kiss Zach.

I felt so normal, and like,

that's what I'm so excited
about is, like,

to have those moments with him.

- I can still taste
the peanut butter cup.

- I know.

There's a lot of peanut butter
in there.

I'm s... very happy.

- So I know I had, like,
briefly mentioned,

like, I rodeo.

Have you ever roped before?

- Like, with a lasso?
- Uh-huh.

- No.

You're about to learn.
- Okay, well,

Honestly, this is something
I do every single day.

- You actually do it every day?

- Yeah.

It's super easy.

You got that?
I'll show you.

It's really easy.

You're fine, you're fine.

You're doing great.

"You're doing great, sweetie."

Here we go.

- Oh, that was actually
Oh, my God!

- You almost had it!
Kind of close!

Okay, one more try,
but for good luck...

- Okay.

Oh, wait.

Wait, wait, come here.
One more.

- We need double good luck?
One more.

- Yeah, that was good.
- Okay.

What a view.

So close, yet so far.

- Yet so far.

- Yeah, I'm looking this way.

I'm just feeling, like,
just so shaky right now.

Like, no one could
possibly prepare you

for the emotional
roller coasters,

the romantic ups and downs,
like,

no one can prepare you for this.

We have some poutine fries.

Oh, my goodness,
this is perfect.

- It is tough to see
all the other girls

have a connection
that's growing,

but sometimes I feel like
I'm just running in place.

It's like I feel like
I don't know,

it would have been
smooth sailing

if I hadn't gotten America's
First Impression Rose.

- Want to get out of here?

There was a lot of people
- I think

who kind of had a much easier
start with him than I did.

Because on my first night,
It's bothering me,

a mean comment to me.
Christina made

- Congratulations.
- Oh, thank you.

- And your rose is still alive.

And your dress is roses?
That's exciting.

- My dress is...
- Okay, really?

- It's a coincidence.
- No, it's not.

- It's a coincidence.
- This was rigged.

- I had no idea. I swear.

- I know, I know. I know.

You look beautiful.
- Girl, you too.

I love this pink.

- And I hate you.
- I cannot...

I'm just kidding.

It felt like I got slapped
in the face.

She said, "I hate you. JK."

And then, like,
after that, like,

Christina had her one-on-one,

how much it hurt me until now.
So I didn't realize

Her relationship with him
seems to be going great

know, her actions.
Despite, you

what would make it easier
I think

to sit down and have
would be, like,

a bit of a conversation
with Christina,

because she's, like,

emotionally punched me
in the gut.

Was just kind of made harder,
The first night

to feel comfortable here
I think, for me

a comment made by you to me.
Because of, like,

Like, it just made me feel,
like, like I didn't know

if this was gonna be, like,
a safe environment for me

to not only, like, find love,
but like, make friends, so...

- Thank you so much
for sharing that,

because 100%, absolutely.

I would never want
anyone to feel that,

especially coming from me,

'cause that is never
my intention at all.

Exactly what it was
Do you remember

that I said that upset you?

- We were at the bar,
and you were like,

"Oh, my gosh, I hate you. JK."

over anything, so sorry
- I am ultimately,

that your feelings were hurt
and that it was on my behalf.

That I don't actually remember
I'm so sorry

intentionally, like,
saying that,

now that you explained to me,
but I understand

like...
- Yeah.

Like, I'm choosing
to, like, believe

that you don't remember.

And I'm choosing to believe
that, like,

there was no malicious intent.
- Right.

- For... I think for us to truly
be, like, real friends,

like, I'm gonna need to, like,
see a lot of, like, action.

She apologized.

It's just annoying that, like,

I had to deal with that
in the first place.

I wish I didn't let it
rattle me so much.

I'm trying not to spiral
right now.

- Hello, how are you doing?
- Hi.

Because of Christina,
I'm so in my head

and it feels like things
have been so unfair to me.

- How are you doing?

- Yeah, I've been good.

I kind of opened up to you
I mean,

about some of the struggles
last time

that I was having kind of,
like, acclimating here.

And honestly, like,
the first night,

nervous that maybe, like,
I pretty much was super

some kind of, like,
there might be

negative feelings towards me
or, like,

I just kind of went in
you know, like,

with, like, that kind of being
a little bit of a fear of
mine.

And for the most part,
it was, like, good.

Like, everyone was nice to me,
and I got to know them.

But one person...

do you want to know who it is?
It's tough, like,

Or do you feel like it's...

I don't want to, like, ask.
- Out of respect,

if you want to, like...
- I mean,

I want you to...

I want us to be honest
with each other

truthfully, so...
- Yeah.

I mean, if you're comfor...

If you want to share,
if you think

that needs to be shared, I...
it's, like, something

am someone that doesn't
like drama at all.

But if it's, like...
- I know. Me too.

To be brought up...
- If it needs

handled then that's great too.
Or if it's already been

- Okay, perfect, so I'm not
gonna say anyone's name.

- That's great, 'cause I...
- Perfect.

- But yeah, so pretty much,
- Yeah, okay.

Like, just little comments,
like,

that made me feel
uncomfortable, like,

"I hate you. JK."

- Yeah, okay, okay, I got you.

Yeah, that would be
really annoying.

- It just kind of made me feel
like, "Oh, no,

"like, does everyone hate me
and she's the only person

who, like, is willing
to, like, admit it?"

- So it kind of made me feel,
- Mm.

Like, a little nervous, but...
- Well, I'm sorry...

You went through that.
I'm sorry

It's... it's... it's dumb that
that even happened,

you know, the fact.
- I know.

- But emotions are high
in this building,

plus it's a new environment,
so...

- Yeah.

- One thing... wanting to, like,
share or wanting to know

and... 'cause I always want
to be intentional

I'm feeling towards you with how

and always be open and honest,

but I feel like you have,
like, a lot of walls up.

And like, I don't know, like,
maybe I'm reading it wrong,

but I feel like
our conversations,

they haven't been...
I don't know.

They haven't felt like
that fun, like,

where we get to...
- I know.

- And it feels like,
I don't know,

it's just, like, very, like,
strict and serious.

And I'm not a very strict
and serious guy.

And I feel like sometimes
it's like, am I...

Like, am I doing
something wrong?

Like, I don't know.
- No, no.

- It just feels like...

Feels like...

- I hope you never feel like
you're doing anything wrong.

I'm nervous now.

My relationship with him

does not seem to be
off to the best start.

I wish, like, the whole thing
never happened,

and that has really put,
like, a wrench

in what could have been,
I think,

a really smooth relationship.

- Good evening, everybody.
- Jesse.

- I'm very, very sorry to be
the bearer of bad news,

but the cocktail party
has now come to an end,

and I do have to steal
this fine gentleman.

- Yeah, it's so tough.

Part of me just feels like
I don't know,

maybe he won't be able
to get past, like, the
feelings

he can't be himself around me.
That he has that, like, maybe

- Thank you so much, ladies.

I'll, uh... I'll see you later.

- I'm struggling so hard.

If I'm getting a rose.
I have no idea

into the Rose Ceremony.
- We are all going

It's really nerve-racking
just because

there's a chance
I'm gonna go home.

I was the last final rose
to be called

at the last Rose Ceremony.

I'm feeling feelings
of, like, nervousness

and anxiousness, obviously.

- I'm really struggling.

I'm so in my head,

and I'm so confused
and blindsided.

It's heartbreaking
to hear Zach say

he can't be natural around me.

It's just confusing to me
when it seems like

these amazing relationships
he's having

with all these girls
and they're so, like,

in love and infatuated.

So I'm really not feeling
confident.

- Hi, ladies.

- Hi.
- Hello.

This was a whirlwind of a
- Wow, like,
week.

It's a little... it's a little
overwhelming at times,

and I think every single one
of you women

a lot about yourselves,
really did show me

and I can't thank you enough
for doing that.

It's not easy.

It won't get any easier.

But the fact that you are
trying to find love,

that's all I can ask for.

Brooklyn.

- Excuse me.

- Brooklyn, will you accept
this rose?

- I will. Thank you.

- I feel very calm,
although anxious,

so kind of like the calm
before the storm feeling.

- Genevie.

Genevie, will you accept
this rose?

- I will.

Thank you.

I don't want to forget,
- Right now

like, how his lips tasted.

- Greer.

Greer...
- Mm-hmm?

- Will you accept this rose?
- Of course.

- The more that we have
these interactions,

he could really be my person,
I'm just like,

and that's crazy.

- Aly.

Accept this rose?
Aly, will you

- Of course.

- Going into the Rose Ceremony,

reassurance that Zach gave me,
based on, like, the

I feel really good.

- Charity.

- Excuse me.

- Charity, will you accept
this rose?

- Absolutely. Thank you.

- My excitement about Zach
has just, like, skyrocketed.

- Kaity.

Kaity, will you accept
this rose?

- Of course.

- I'm so excited
to, like, explore

this relationship with him,
and so I need to get a rose.

- Gabi.

Gabi, will you accept this rose?

- Yes, of course.

- Ariel.

Ariel, will you accept
this rose?

- Yeah. Thank you so much.

- If I didn't get
a rose tonight,

I would feel honestly
so discouraged.

I know I'm looking for.
He's everything

And my biggest fear is

I haven't done enough
to keep me around.

- Anastasia.

Anastasia, will you accept
this rose?

- Yes.

This is just emotional.

You give up so much to be here.

You want to be here so badly,

go your way or go as planned.
And things don't always

- Kylee.

Oh, my God.

- Kylee, will you accept
this rose?

- Of course I will.

Thank you so much.

- I'm trying not to spiral
right now.

I have no idea.

I'm heartbroken by this,
honestly.

- Davia.

Davia, will you accept
this rose?

- Yes. Thank you.

- I would love to just have

just to see what could be.
Another week

- Mercedes.

Mercedes, will you accept
this rose?

- Of course.

- I genuinely feel like

we could really have
a great connection

and a great relationship,
but I don't think

he's really given me a chance.

- Bailey.

Bailey, will you accept
this rose?

- Of course.

It's the final rose tonight.
- Ladies, Zach,

When you're ready.

- Brianna.

Brianna, will you accept
this rose?

- Yes.

Thank you so much.

- Ladies, I'm sorry,

but if you did not receive
a rose,

please take a moment
and say your goodbyes.

- Thank you.

- It was nice meeting you, Zach.

- It was so nice meeting you
as well.

- It's confusing.

I don't understand why
our connection, like,

he doesn't want to explore more,

when, like... I don't know.

Like, what? What?

I think, like, literally,

one more week of time, like,

he would see, like,
that our connection

is a lot stronger than him
and some of the other girls.

- Thank you so much
for this experience.

- Thank you so much.
- Of course.

I didn't get a rose tonight.
I'm sad

I love you guys.

I'm gonna miss
getting to know him,

but, all in all,

Zach gave me the fairest
chance that he could have...

So that's all I could ask for.

- As I said before,

Rose Ceremonies are never
gonna be easy,

but I... I really appreciate

every single one of you
being here.

For what we have in store.
I can't wait

This is gonna be a blast.

So cheers to you women.

You are incredible,
simple as that.

Cheers.

To sweat that one out.
- I really had

I finally have gotten a rose
from Zach.

Like, Zach himself
has thought about me

and he thinks that there
could be something there.

To make great friendships
- Cheers to continuing

with all of you.

Cheers.

- I'm not here for drama.

I'm not here for BS.

I'm here to be real.

You better watch out.
And so, girls,

on "The Bachelor"...
- Next week

- Ahh!

- Awesome!

- With Zach, I feel the spark.

I feel the chemistry.

- Throw your whole body into it.

- Yes.

- Zach's so romantic.

Like I'm on cloud nine.
He makes me feel

- Would you like to spend
the night here with me?

I think this is heading.
- I like where...

- It definitely looks
like a walk of shame.

I had that first one-on-one,
- For me, like,

and I feel like
it was more real.

- Christina's trying
to intimidate.

- Anyone who she perceives
as a threat

is gonna be a target.

She needs to be exposed.

- It makes me feel
really insecure.

- Have you ever considered

shutting the up?
Just literally

- Everyone is too scared
to tell you.

It makes it hard.

- It would be a mistake
to believe this.

- The drama continues
next week on "The Bachelor."

- Okay, I have a relationship
question for you guys.

When do you think
it's acceptable

to fart in front of someone?

- Immediately.
- Never!

We don't do that!

- Girls don't fart.
- Girls don't fart.

- Girls don't fart.
- You guys have never farted

in front of someone
that you're dating?

- I have.
- I did it by accident

when I was sleeping,
and it was terrifying.

I think it's

a beautiful thing to be
so comfortable with someone

that you're your authentic self.

You fart and you poop.

First of all...

- I do not think that
that is your full self.

Like, I'm so sorry...

- I would rather run
across the street

to someone else's house.

- I have.
- You have?

I have too.

- I'm really shocked
that you guys care

so much about that.

Like, that's, like,
a normal body thing.

- I'm sorry, but I like to
have a barrier in that
relationship

that you have to keep it sexy
and, like,

if you're not wearing lingerie
all the time,

then, like, don't do that
in front of your partner.

- Like, it's gonna happen.

- Yeah.
- No!

- Never.
- Never.

- Like, I will actually...
My body stops.

- Who's gonna be the first
to fart in front of Zach?

- I personally will not.

I can't do that!

I will do it. I swear.

- You have to break the ice.
