The Bachelor (2002–…): Season 27, Episode 3 - Episode #27.3 - full transcript

- Tonight on "The Bachelor"...

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

Oh, my God!

- Ow-ow!

Zach looks hot.

- The weather's almost as hot
as me right now.

This would be a mistake.

It would be a mistake
to believe this.

I get what you're doing.

Like, I get that
you have to do this,

but like,
this makes no sense to me.



What can help?

Please, help me,
help me, help me.

Help me. Please, help me.

- Waking up this morning,

you know,
after a long Rose Ceremony,

I do feel at peace.

I am already establishing
amazing connections

with these beautiful women,

and I'm loving how
everything is going so far.

The trajectory is going up.

Like, I'm trying to find
my best friend.

So I wanted to give my friend
Sean a ring because

he has these three beautiful
kids with an incredible wife,

and that started here.



- Zach.

What's up, buddy?

- What's up, Sean?

Good to see you, man.

- Good to see you.

What's going on?

- So it's the start
of week three.

And right now,
there are 17 women.

- You feel like you're vibing
with some of them?

- Oh, absolutely.

I'm feeling really good.

I think... I think
this is really working.

- It sounds like you have
an awesome group of women.

And hopefully, one of them
is, you know, a lifelong match

and is probably gonna be the one

where you feel like,
this is my best friend.

This is the one I want
to spend all my time with,

and then there's that romantic
element on top of that.

- You know
we wish you good luck.

- Yeah, thank you, Catherine.

We're rooting for you.

I can't wait to...
To hear how it goes.

- Morning.
- Hello.

- How's everybody doing?

- Good to see ya.
- Good.

- All right, how we all feeling?

Good.

- Did we get some rest?

- Mm-hmm.
- No.

- I know.
I know last night was a lot.

Well, let me first say
congratulations to all of you.

Of course, you all got roses
last night,

which means, at this point,
Zach really does

feel something
with each and every one of
you.

So on that note,
want to talk about this week?

- Yes.
- Yeah.

- Okay, this week,
there will be three dates.

There will be two incredibly
romantic one-on-one dates.

- Ooh.
- Okay.

- And there's gonna be
one very large group date.

Okay.

- The first date,
it's not gonna be today.

And that's because...

it's tonight.

- Ooh.

- You all seem like
you're wondering

who might be on tonight's
date. - Yeah.

- Are you gonna tell us?
- Kinda.

- I might have the answer
right here.

- Ah!
- Yes.

- We're gonna find out here
in just a minute.

- My hands are sweating.

- What's happening?

- Oh, my gosh.

- It's great
seeing you all again.

- Now I'm sweating.
- Have fun.

I hope to see you all
at the end of the week.

- Take care.
- Bye, Jesse.

- Thank you, Jesse.
- Bye.

- Bye.
- Oh, my gosh. I...

- The good news is
we'll all have an opportunity

to at least hang out with him.

That's...
- Yeah, oh my gosh.

- Something
I was really worried about.

- With Zach, there's truly
a spark between us.

And as always, I'm super hopeful

that I get to be on
that one-on-one date.

- "Kaity..."

- "I want a love for the ages.
Zach."

- Ooh.
- Ooh.

- Oh, Kaity.

- We're so happy for you.
- Yeah.

- Yes.
- Yeah, we really are.

- Yeah, I'm super excited.

- Oh, my goodness.

I can't believe
this is happening.

The fact that he wants
to have this night with me

is really special,
and it means a lot to me.

Literally, tears of joy.

I'm so excited.

I'm super excited to see him.

I'm super excited to see
what he has planned.

I know he's got something
up his sleeve, though.

- I can't even imagine
what, like,

a night date would be like.

I wonder when she'll be back.

- Our princess! Yes!

- Sit here.
- Come.

- Sit.
- Come.

- Pretty girl.
- You look beautiful.

- Thank you.
- You look like a princess.

- You look so pretty.
- Thanks, guys.

- Kaity is going on
a one-on-one date tonight.

I'm a little bit jealous.

I get it.

I understand it.

It's part of it,
but I didn't expect

how weird that would be.

- Oh, hello.

- Hello. Hi, ladies.
- Oh, wow.

This is a lot fancier
than I thought it was gonna
be.

- Hello, hello.
- Hello.

- Don't mind me.

Don't mind me.

I heard some sniffing.

I heard sniffing.

- Was that you?

- Bring it over here.
Bring it over here.

- Hello.
- Hello. How are you doing?

- I'm good.

I didn't know
it was, like, this fancy.

- It's a little formal.

How's the house been?
Pretty fun?

- Yeah.
- It was a relaxing day.

- It's been a good day.
- Good day today.

- Zach sat down on the couch
next to Kaity and kind of,

you know, put his hand
on her leg.

- Kaity, would you like
to get out of here?

- Absolutely.
- Awesome.

Let's do it.
- Have fun.

- Have so much fun.
- Bye.

- It definitely stung
a little bit because, yeah,

I do want it to be me
in the end.

- Cheers to our first real date.

And I hope
it's really as special

as I hope it is for you

'cause it's gonna be
an absolute blast.

I can't wait for you to see
what we actually do.

- Okay, I'm excited.

- It might shock you
a little bit.

Cheers.
- Cheers.

- I'm so excited for tonight.

You know, I feel like
with Kaity, it's always

really fun and exciting
with her.

And the fact that
we had a really quick,

early connection...

I think it was really night one.

I think we felt
a little bit of a spark.

Do you like surprises or no?

- Yes.
- You do?

- I do.
- Okay, good.

So this date tonight, I mean,
it really is so exclusive,

like, private.

Kaity has zero idea what she's
about to get herself into.

I can't wait to see
her reaction.

- Oh, my goodness.
- Whoa.

- This is wild.

- So, Kaity...

- Yes.

- Getting in here
is really tough,

but I think I might have a key.

Do you want to go check it
out? - Ooh, yes.

- Let's go check it out.

Thank you.

- We are in
the Natural History Museum.

- Oh, my goodness,
this is so cool.

- We have this entire museum
just to ourselves.

- What?

Like, what is happening?

Like, this is unreal.

Oh, my goodness.
- I see a lot of like...

- The long neck ones are,
like, really friendly ones.

- Oh, look.

That one's, like,
pretty cool-looking.

- This is literally
the coolest place on Earth.

Imagine to live
in the era of dinosaurs.

- Yeah, I don't think
we'd last very long.

- I'm somebody
who loves experiences.

And like, the fact that

it's just him and I here
is so special to me.

- Oh, what the hell is this,
huh?

- I've never done
anything romantic in my life,

and to go 0 to 100
like this is unreal.

I feel so special
and so grateful.

- You know,
I'm the only other one

who had the one-on-one,
and whoever does get it,

you're going to probably
be blown away.

- Ah!

- Oh, my God.

- That gets me every time.

I feel excited,

and I also feel very nervous
at the same time.

We don't know
if it's the group date

or the one-on-one coming
first, but my fingers are
crossed.

My toes are crossed,
and my legs,

hoping that that's me on that
one-on-one date with him.

- Ariel...

Mercedes,

Kylee,

Anastasia,

Christina,

Bailey,

Genevie,

Brooklyn,

Brianna,

Jess,

Katherine,

Davia,

Gabi,

Charity,

and Greer.

"There are no rules
in the game of love."

- It's football.
- "Zach."

- I definitely would have
loved some one-on-one time for
sure.

But I'm ready to see
what on Earth "no rules"
means.

I'm on the group date,
and Aly is on the one-on-one.

I feel a little jealous.

- Are you freaking out?

- I have a lot of emotions
going on right now.

I'm mainly excited, but also,
like, freaking out inside.

- Oh, my goodness.
- Yeah.

- This is so special.

Thank you so much.

- Oh, my God.

Like, I'm so happy
to have you here.

- You are such a genuine guy,

and you seem so down to earth.

And I just never have
experienced anything romantic.

And I literally went 0 to 100.

Like, this is crazy,
and couldn't think

in a million years
that I'd be sitting here

right in front of you
and feeling the way that I do.

- It does feel really good.
- Yeah.

- Like, I think with,
like, you, I think it was...

You know,
I was hoping it was, like,

really mutual because, like,
when I spent that time

with you, it was like,
okay, Kaity.

Who's that... who is this girl?

Like, I'm digging Kaity,
but, like, really,

I felt like it was
so easy with you.

Like, what... like, I know

what I'm, like, really
looking for in a person.

Like, it's my...
It's my best friend.

It's the person that can, like,

do the ups and downs
in life with.

- Yeah.
- But like,

what is it, like,
you're looking in your...

Your life partner?

- That's a really good question.

I think, like, definitely, like,

seeing my past relationship,
I know what I don't want.

- Right.
- And you know,

I was very vulnerable with him.

And it was, like,
seven years on and off.

It was, like, that toxic,
tumultuous relationship

that it took a toll on me...

- Yeah.
- Like, big time.

- Yeah.
- And it made me put up,

like, a lot of guards

and questioned, like,
my self-worth.

So...
- Wow.

- Moving forward, what I do want

is I just want to feel safe.

And I want somebody
that's not gonna run away

the moment that things get hard.

- Right.

That's the hardest thing.

You okay?

I appreciate you.

- I just...

I just want a good man...

- Mm-hmm.
- In my life.

But yeah, just...

I just honestly just...

I know it sounds kind
of to say this,

but, like, the basics.

I just want a good man
to treat me right.

- I want you to know,
like, you deserve, like,

way more than just the basics.

- Yeah.
- You deserve so much more.

Like, I... I kind
of find it, like,

baffling that, like, no one
has treated you better than...

Than... than that.

And I think, like, any guy...

They are the biggest idiots
in the world

for not treating you
like you deserve,

like five-star dates,
because I think, like,

something like this
is right up your alley.

Like, I think...
- Oh, yes.

- Like, I mean...
Like a date like this,

there was no question
in my mind...

Kaity.

You know,
I appreciate you, like,

really, like, taking a risk
and, like, being here.

And like, you never know
how it's gonna go.

- No, absolutely not.

- No, but the fact that
you're taking a risk

and seeing if it works with us,

like, I mean,
that's all I can ask for.

- It feels good.
It feels right.

- It feels good. I feel...
- And I like...

I like where I think
this is heading.

- Yeah, yeah. I get...

It kind of gets me giddy.
- Yeah.

- Like, I get a little bit
of the butterflies,

and I'm like, okay.

- Yeah.

Zach is a dream come true.

I feel like I'm on cloud nine,
literally.

I feel so good about him.

I feel good about us.

Like, I feel like I could
see him being my best friend

and me being his
at the end of all this,

which is crazy to say.

But heck, if I'm crazy,
so be it.

- I really think, like,

I want to further
this connection with you.

And I mean,
I would more than love

to offer you this rose.

Will you accept this rose?

- Absolutely.

Thank you.

- Of course.

Now, I mean,

I don't really want
this night to end yet.

So I have a question for you.

- Okay.

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

- Absolutely.

- Really?

- Yes.

- Okay, great,
because I have something

planned here special with you.

Wanna go see it?
- Yes.

- Okay.
- Okay.

- I knew this was gonna be
a lot of fun with Kaity.

That was a given.

But I think it's really been
so much more.

There's something way more here.

Oh, my goodness.

- Here's our little setup
for the night.

- This is so cool.

- I want her to feel
like she deserves this,

'cause she totally does.

Like, I want to have her
just, like, feel this,

and, like, embrace the moment
and just have fun with it

and feel special
'cause, like, she is special.

I know we have a little bit
of a slumber party.

So I actually have some
pajamas here for you and for
myself.

It just feels so natural
with her.

It feels like we are, like,
getting to know each other

so much easier
than I ever anticipated.

Like, I can't wait to further,
like, share moments with her.

Like, simple as that.

- Okay.
- Should we do a race?

- Yeah.

Are you giving me a head
start? - I'm coming.

- This is, like, your...
- I'm coming.

- Oh, my goodness!

- Let's head back
to the dinosaurs.

- Oh, my goodness!

I love mountain goats.

Ooh.

- Baby.

I feel like you're gonna break
your back.

- No, never.

- Get this guy a chiropractor.

See, I can kiss and run
with you at the same time.

- You're a multi-tasker.

- Let's go!

Hello!

- Hello!

Kaity!

- Zachary!

- Zachar... okay.

- You're sweet.

- It was gonna be a night
date, you know?

- Yeah.
- So like, I expected her

to leave, like, after dinner.
- Later.

I didn't think
it'd be that late.

- I don't know.

- But I don't know.

- Are you ready to go to bed?

- Let's do it.
- Let's do it.

- What scares me is I don't
think she's coming back soon.

- I completely agree.

- It's definitely unsettling.

I think the hardest part
is knowing

how awesome she is

because I could truly
see them together.

And that's a tough pill
to swallow.

- I feel like we should move
our little beds together.

- I think that can happen.

- To be honest, like,
if it is intimate,

I don't really want
to hear about it...

- I agree 100%.
- At all, actually.

- This is too much.

I am so stressed and anxious.

I'm gonna start crying.

I hate this.

Oh...

- You such a good kisser.

- Morning.

- Good morning.

- These are hers, right?

- Mm-hmm.

- Okay, so she's still here.

- I woke up and came downstairs,

and Kaity's suitcase
was still here.

And that's, like, stressful

because it's, like, 7:00 a. m.,
and she's still not home.

- Is she not here?

- I don't think so.

- Um...

- Goodness.

Okay, well, that's scary.

I was the only one
with a one-on-one before this.

And now I, like, kind of do
feel like I lost somewhat

of, like, maybe a momentum
or something,

as far as, like, the only one
having had that time.

So for sure,
that one kind of stings.

- Wahh...

- I'm back.

Guys, I'm literally
working on, like,

zero brain power right now.

- Tell us all about it.

- Kaity walks in
half asleep in pajamas.

It definitely looks
like a walk of shame.

But I don't want to think
about that.

- It was such a fun night
at the museum.

It was really nice because
I got to kind of, like,

share, you know, like,
more of my sensitive side.

And then he wanted to, like,
just spend the night together.

So it was very romantic.

It was a really good time.

- Wow.

- Did you get any sleep?

- Nope.

- Oh, wow.

- I am so tired.

- You had a little
Fantasy Suite at the museum.

- Yeah.
- Yeah!

- It's really hard
to see her come back

and, like, spend a night
with Zach.

It just feels like, wow,
that's, like,

a very deep connection

that you probably formed
with him.

I mean, that's all I want.

And today, every single girl
is going on the date

except for Aly and Kaity.

So it's just like a reminder

that we all need
to show up today

and, like, try
our absolute best.

- Today, I'm feeling good.

I mean, last night,
I had an incredible

one-on-one date with Kaity.

I am feeling quite high energy,

a little up tempo right now.

And I'm on a football field.

And it feels so good.

I played for nine years.

So I am so excited
to have a group date here.

Football is like love.

It takes heart. It takes guts.

It takes passion.
- Ow-ow!

- And I love it to death.

- Looking good!

- Good to see everyone.
- Hey, good to you.

- So today, I think it's
a really important opportunity

to really grow the connections
with these beautiful women.

I feel like the energy's
really high right now.

Did I get everyone?
- No.

Not me.
- Oh.

Let's go.

So happy to have you here.

Obviously, we're on
a football field right now.

So, ladies, I've enlisted
the help of two NFL legends

to join us today.

- What's up, dude?
- Hi.

- What's up?

- Oh. Good to see you.

What's up, man?

- My two friends here are
absolute LA Charger legends.

We have Shawne Merriman,
three-time All-Pro Bowler.

We have Antonio Gates,
one of the best

to ever do it at tight end,
116 touchdowns.

- I'm fangirling so hard.

Like, I just want to be like,
can I have an autograph?

- Ladies, we are here today
because it's one

of the most famous
sporting events of the year:

Bachelor Bowl V.

You are competing in a game
of full-tackle football.

- Oh, yeah, baby.

- The winning team gets to go
to the after-party

and get a shot at the rose
and spend more time with Zach.

And the losers,
they will go home.

- For time with Zach,
I absolutely will not lose.

If I gotta lay some people
out, it's happening.

- All right,
you guys ready to train?

- Yes!
- Let's go!

- So the date card said,

"There are no rules
in the game of love."

- Brianna.
- Yeah, Bri.

- Go.

- So, like,
I'm a little nervous.

I did not play any sports
growing up.

So I have no athletic skill
that I'm aware of.

- There you go.

- I know a lot of the girls
are kind of nervous

about this date,

but I've actually, like,
done CrossFit

since I was 11 years old.

So I'm on a mission to win.

- Quick feet, quick feet,
quick feet, quick feet.

- That other team,
forget about them.

- Ohh!

- The winners get

to spend time with Zach tonight.

I don't want to wait
until the Rose Ceremony

to have one-on-one time
with him.

Whoa!

I'm just not letting
that happen.

- Hello, Bachelor Nation.

I'm Jesse Palmer
alongside the Hannah Storm.

It's so great seeing you again.

- This is awesome.

I got to call
Bachelor Winter Games,

Bachelor Bowl IV,
and now Bachelor Bowl V.

I mean, truly
a career highlight.

- The most anticipated
sporting event of the year.

- In the world of sports,
there is but one game

with a reward far greater
than any other:

the Bachelor Bowl.

Since the dawn of 2016,

hungry-hearted players have

done absolutely
anything necessary

to score that precious time.

- Shanae!

- Maybe a kiss
will make me feel better.

- Kiss?

- The Bachelor Bowl,

proving there are no rules
in the game of love.

- Of course, a rose on the line.

You lose, you go home.

- And here comes
the yellow team,

The Shall-Crushers.

- Well, The Shall-Crushers,
you can tell, Hannah,

they've got their game faces on.

- Whoo!

- And here they come.

The Ball-Zachs.

- Led out onto the field
by Christina.

- Well, they're bold.

They're confident.

They're blue.

- Hell yeah.

- Hence the name.

- The Ball-Zachs.

- Everyone find a man.

Tackle the out of them.

- The wait is over.

The Bachelor Bowl
is finally set to kick.

- Oh!

- All right,
the game is now underway.

Yellow team not very sure

about who's picking
this thing up.

It's gonna be Mercedes
who fumbles the ball

and rolls out of bounds.

- Oh...
- Are you okay?

- There might be an injury
on the field already.

- On the kickoff,
we have a player down.

- Oh, my God.
- Is she hurt?

- Oh, God.

- Hold on, hold on, hold on.

You okay?

- She really seemed
to be in a daze.

- Stas, are you hurt?

- I personally am worried

that the game
will not continue on.

- Are you okay?

- And no one will get time
tonight with Zach.

- On the kickoff,
we have a player down.

- Stas, are you hurt?
- You okay?

- What's happening?

Oh.

- What the hell?

- All right, all right.
- All good?

- I just hit my head
in the back.

Aw.

- Come out for a play.

- Anastasia,
I knew she wasn't hurt.

She was fine.

- How are you feeling?
- I'm fine.

- She's just milking
this injury,

just milking it big.

- Speaking of strategy,

I think Anastasia is the
winner so far.

She gets to spend some time
with Zach on the sideline

after her... injury?

She looks perfectly fine to me.

- Good to see you smiling,
though, now.

- Let's go, blue!

- All right,
yellow team has possession.

It's Genevie with the ball,
the spin move, and the speed!

- Oh, no.

- Touchdown.

- Love the end zone celebration.

- Yes, yes, yes!

- Now the blue team
is trailing 7-0.

- The blue team has got
to be able to respond.

- Come on, Brooklyn.

- I am a little nervous,
honestly,

just 'cause losing team goes
to the mansion

and cries and pouts and
doesn't get to see Zach all
night.

- Hike.

- It's a reverse that goes awry.

- Oh.

- Oh, my God.

I just peed my pants
a little bit.

Guys, I literally just
peed my pants a little bit.

- We're just getting
this report in now, Hannah.

- Yes?
- It appears as though

somebody has actually peed
their pants.

Gabi.

- You're kidding me.

- Guys, I peed my pants
a little bit.

- That's okay.
We won't tell anyone.

- Bachelor Bowl first, Hannah.

- And hopefully a last.

Yellow! Yellow! Yellow!

- There she goes again,
Genevie with the speed.

- Hey!

- Oh, what a tackle.

They say love hurts.

Genevie finding out
the hard way.

- Well, they're hitting it.

- I got this.

- We're gonna win this game.

If you don't see me
at the after-party,

slap me in the face.

- They're back.

Genevie hands it off to Gabi
around the outside.

She needs to get
to the end zone.

Oh, a touchdown saving tackle,
Christina.

She is 5'5", Hannah,
and she has got bad
intentions.

Let's go.

Hoo!

- It's Christina with the
speed and the cutback ability.

- Touchdown.

- Yes!

- Finally they get it right.

Christina with a touchdown.

- Blowing kisses to Zach.

- Yes! Yes!

- That was Christina.

- Halftime.

- We're going
into halftime here.

All knotted up at 7 apiece.

- Good job, right?
- I broke my nail.

- We are playing for more time
with Zach at the after-party.

- Just tackle.

Just throw your
whole body into it.

- Yes. We can do it.

- And the yellow team has
full confidence

that we're gonna win this thing.

- They think they can actually

beat you guys pretty easily.

- Everyone loves
a good underdog story.

- I think I got the better team.

But my gears
are gonna be grinded

if they don't bring it,
because I'm here to win.

So let's bring this heat!

Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

- To start the second half,

it's gonna be blue ball
first here.

And it's all tied up 7-7.

- Down, set, hut.

- Go, go, go, go!

- There's a reverse.

It's Kylee,
working around the left edge.

- Oh, what a block out in front.

Christina laid the lumber.

- Oh, look at you.

You got blood on you.
- Really?

- There's a lot at stake here.

Oh!

- Oh!
- Oh.

These women are flying around,
hitting each other.

- She's breaking tackles.

- She's not going down.
Touchdown!

- Touchdown!

- Yeah!

- They are really showing out

and giving it their all.

- It has been
a back and forth battle.

With time winding down here
in the fourth quarter,

the Ball-Zachs remain
in the lead 14-7.

- I'm pissed about this.
- You okay?

- Yeah.

There is an after-party
on the line.

It is absolutely imperative

that we score another touchdown.

- Down, set, hut.

- There's a handoff.

There's Genevie with the speed.

She's got it in the left hand,
around the left side.

Stays on her feet.

- Yeah!
- Whoo!

- Genevie falls just shy
of the goal line.

- With no time left
on the clock,

it's the blue team
that emerged victorious.

- Whoo! Whoo!

- We won.
Yes, yes, I'm so excited.

- Way to go, guys.

- Ladies.

Aw, you guys
absolutely kicked ass.

- It sucks that, you know,
other women are going to build

their connections even more.

And they get more time.

And then they get the rest
of the night with him.

- Bye, Zach.
- Bye.

- I mean, it stinks,
especially when, like, I know

that my team played
so hard and so fair.

I'm sorry.

- All right, look at them.

- I'm really disappointed,

because I just wanted
that time so badly.

And I feel like I went out
there and I gave it my all.

And I'm feeling
absolutely heartbroken.

It just sucks.

It's just so disappointing.

Yay, look at us.

- The group day today was
very crazy and fun,

but I think, you know,
we knew that we had to put

a lot on the line in order
to get this time with Zach.

- Wait, this is so cute.
- Right?

- So tonight I think we're
all feeling really excited

for what's to come.

And I just really want
to continue

progressing my connection
with Zach,

and truly finding love
or seeing if this is something

that could be real in the end.

- Well, ladies,
cheers to an amazing night

that is so well-deserved.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

- I feel so good.

So today was worth it.

And tonight I think
it would just reassure me

even more
if I was given that rose.

And there's a lot of us
feeling this way.

I think we all just need
that validation

that things are headed in
the right direction with Zach.

- Hello.

- Oh, hello.

- How's everyone feeling?

Good? Sore already?
- Sore already.

- You women really
gave it your all.

And it does not go unnoticed.

We're gonna have
a great night tonight.

So I want to cheers each of you.

The Ball-Zachs.

- There we go.
- Yes.

- The Ball-Zachs.

- I have this amazing,
stunning group of women

who really showed up today
during the Bachelor Bowl V.

And I walked away from that
date feeling really special.

And now I'm looking forward
to actually, like,

sitting down and talk to them.

Like, I want to build
connections.

I'm very excited about tonight.

- Oh. Yeah, that was like...

- A lot?

- Yeah,
I've never played football.

And like, I haven't had
that team experience,

which was... meant
really a lot to me today

to feel included.

- Yeah.

- Because I feel
the need to, like,

be needed and wanted for sure.

And like,
there's the doubt there.

But like, ultimately, I still
am really, really scared

and trying,
and like, here and... yeah.

No, it's so hard.

- Okay.

- The only thing I can...

at least know
that I, like, lived through

and that I would say that
will help you is to, you know,

trust in what we have.

Like, we are still getting
to know each other so well.

- Uh-huh.

- To where you and I know
each other a little bit more

than maybe a lot of
the other relationships I
have.

So trust in me.

Nothing is guaranteed
and we're trying

to figure this out together.

- If it was and it wasn't,
that's not real.

And real is what we're after.

And I understand that.

So cool.

- I got you.

- With Zach, I'm so happy.

Zach makes it easy, though.

And this is so validating

that what I was feeling is real.

So to get that rose tonight
means so much to me.

- The hardest part for me
was, like, knowing

that there was the potential
that we wouldn't get this
time.

- Yeah.
- You know,

I feel like we gave it our all.

I truly feel like
they gave it their all too.

- I think it was very difficult,

like honestly competing
against people that we've

built connections with.

- We don't need to feel guilty.

Like, the thing is, is like,
we decided to come here

I think, for the most part...
for me, like I came for
myself.

And honestly, you guys,
like for me, like,

I had that first one-on-one.

And then like, for real,
like, I feel like

it's more chill, more real.

But regardless, like,

it was fun to be
on a team with y'all.

So cheers.
- So cheers.

- So cheers again.

- Christina really likes
to talk about

her one-on-one time with Zach.

It could either be
because she wants

to hurt our feelings
by rubbing it in our face,

or she's just unaware.

But it does make me feel
uncomfortable.

- You know,
we're a couple weeks in.

How is it going, like,
with everything?

- Yeah, it's definitely been,
like, kind of difficult

living in a house full of girls.

Like, you know, obviously, like,

it's, like, hard to, like,
hear, you know,

and trying to
compartmentalize, like,
certain things of like,

you know, certain things
we don't want to hear.

And then, you know, just
trying to stay in your lane.

I will say, like, this week
has been a lot easier.

And then, like, obviously,
like, I woke up,

and I just had, like,
a really good like peace,
like,

sense of peace
about the group date.

So I'm really happy.

Like, obviously it went well.
We're here.

- I'm loving
sitting next to you.

- Aw.
- Like, I was... like, I...

Like, I love your laugh.

Like, I wanted to talk to you.

And obviously it was more
than abundantly clear

that like... like,
your effort on this date

made me feel special.

- I was, yeah, giving it my all.

- You gave it your all.
- Truly.

- And I was like, you know what?

I'm all for this.

I'm a big fan. I'm a big fan.

- Mm-hmm, good.

- Charity, she has
this presence to her

that just feels special.

It feels like
I could just kind of like

let my guard down and relax
a little bit.

I really like her too.

And I think
it's pretty clear for me

that I feel really comfortable
with Charity.

That's how you can really form
a meaningful connection

is having that.

I mean, it just feels great.

- Guys, I'm walking
with a limp right now.

- Yeah, I think
I'm gonna wake up and, like,

be really frickin' sore.

- I don't know how I'm gonna
feel in the morning,

but I'm not gonna feel as good
as you in the morning.

Is there anything
you're nervous about?

- Yeah, I'm definitely nervous

that the date won't go
as expected

and you'll see a suitcase
roll out of here.

Ahh!

- Ah!

- No, I'm never expecting it.

My whole body just went cold.
- Yay!

Oh, my goodness.

Aly, oh, my God!

- Oh, wait, stop.
I'm gonna cry.

- Put it on the table.
- It's your present.

Open it.

- Ah!

- "Aly, are you ready
to fall in love?

Zach."

- Aw!

- It's got to be a dress.

- It's a gown.

- What if it's a wet suit?

- Open it. Open it.

- Ooh...
- Oh.

- Ah, it's a wedding dress!

Oh.
- What?

- Oh, this is nice.

- Oh.
- Oh.

- That is so chic.

I love Aly,

but seeing, like,
a wedding outfit,

I'm so jealous about that.

- I'm excited.

I thought that was really cool.

And I was like, oh, cool, like.

I wish that was for me.

- I just need to pick out
my colors

because, like,
what will y'all wear?

- What will you wear?
- No, like, as my bridesmaids.

Oh!

- So how do you all feel

about that thing over there,
the rose?

- Everyone wants it.
- Yeah.

- It'd be naive to say we don't.

- I hadn't been on a group
date yet, though, so like...

- We're aware.

- Maybe that's why
I'm forgetting,

like, about that part.

On the one-on-one,
like, that's...

Like, the rose is coming.

Like, I did purposefully
not think about it,

but like, that took some
effort because like, whoa,

I didn't expect to have
that strong of a connection.

Like...
- Respectfully,

like you said,
you've had a one-on-one.

- Mm-hmm.

- And if I hear one-on-one...

"Oh, my one-on-one,
my one-on-one."

My one-on-one.

- Like, I might lose my mind,
just because...

Not that I don't care
or not happy for you.

But like, we know.

We've heard about
your one-on-one.

We've heard about
you met the family.

But like, honestly, I feel
like it's almost malicious.

- Christina has been oversharing

about her strong connection
with Zach.

And since night one,

I've barely gotten time
with him.

- What I'm really liking
with you

is that things have only gone
up and up with you.

- Okay, good,
that makes me feel better.

- I do get in my head.

And when I don't get
that validation,

like, I just start thinking
and thinking

and thinking
and, like, spiraling.

Hi, guys. Sorry.

- Oh, no, absolutely, yeah.
- Okay. Okay, good.

I feel like I need
a sense of validation

that Zach sees something
with me.

I hope he's on the same page.

I don't know.

- How are you feeling
with it all?

Like, the date and everything?

- I feel good. I don't know.

Like, I have just been feeling
super weird

about this whole situation.
- Yeah.

- Like, right off the bat,
it was, like, crazy.

Like, when I stepped
out of the limo

and, like, we had that, like,
very first connection,

like, I felt so excited.

And then from there,
it felt like

we were just kind of like...

- Like, kind of like going...

- Like, kind of regressing
a little bit...

- Yeah, yeah.
- In a sense.

And like, it just feels weird.

- It is very weird,

and I do notice
when things feel off,

and yeah, I think, like,

it doesn't feel like
the same spark.

And I don't want to lie to you.

And maybe I thought, like,

with time,
it would maybe change.

But I don't know, and I think
with time being so limited...

But like...
- Right.

- Do you mind if I interrupt?

- Yeah, no, that's totally fine.

- You sure?
- Yeah.

- I do want to talk about that
at some point with you.

- Okay. Okay.

- If that's okay. Yeah.
- Yeah, yeah, no.

I would love to talk
more about it.

- Yeah, yeah.

- And yeah, totally.

- If that's okay. Yeah.

- When I said I feel like
this has regressed,

I was expecting him
to validate me in some way

and just say, like,
"I want you here."

Like, even just saying that

would have made me feel better.

- What I like about you
is, like,

you, like, just kind of, like,

like, love to have fun, I think.

- Like, does he not think
this could be something?

That's what's so disheartening.

Because I do feel like
he wasn't hearing me.

He wasn't, like,
understanding me.

I don't know.

Tonight with Zach,
I'm just so confused.

It's hard to not have like
any sort of validation,

it feels like.

And I haven't had that
since night one really.

So I need to just, like,
try to get more time with him,

because I do want him to,
like, see me for who I am.

Zach.

- Hey.

- Hey, can I steal you
for a second?

- Uh, yeah, yeah, absolutely.

- Because I feel like there
could be something there.

I just wanted to talk to you
again, just kind of see

where you are, and like,
just reassure you

that, like, I really,
really want to be here,

but I want to feel validated
in that, like,

you like me or you feel like
you have a connection with me

or like you could
potentially get there.

And like...
- Mm-hmm.

- I do feel that, and...
- Yeah.

Like, as it feels now,
like, in my gut,

in my heart, like, I don't...

Bailey, I don't know.

I just think
from what we started from

to where we are now,
I'm just not confident

that there is a future
between us.

- I am really shocked
to hear that,

because I do feel like
if we had more time together,

like, we could get there.

But I know that
there are so many other,

like, incredible people here.

And like...
- At this point,

I have to go
with the connections

that I do feel
more confident about it.

And you are incredible,
but I just...

I'm sorry.

And I think it's like...
- Yeah.

- That's tough, though,
but yeah.

- Yeah, okay.

- With Bailey,
I've been trying so hard,

and I'm sure she has as well.

But as difficult as it is
to send Bailey home so early

on this journey,
our relationship

just wasn't growing at the pace

that my other relationships are.

And the last thing
I'd want to do

is lead her on or make her feel

that I'm feeling something
that I'm not.

I'm really just following
my heart at this point.

But I just hope, you know,
Bailey understands.

- I'm gonna be going.

- What?
- Oh, no.

- Yeah, so...

What?

Wait.
- Yeah.

I don't know.

- This is a shock.

It's very out of the blue.

No one saw this coming.

- I just love you,
and I'm so sad.

- I thought that
Bailey and Zach had

a really strong connection.

Love you guys.

- So seeing her go home kind
of made me question our own.

Like, even though I feel like
it's strong, maybe he doesn't.

- I really was not
expecting that.

So I really don't know
where my head is at.

- Like, that's just crazy.

- Yeah, I don't know.

- Although, it's sad,
and she was our roommate,

like, that's inevitable.

- At this point,
we're all just like...

We're exhausted with Christina.

For her to say that in a moment

when someone gets sent home,
that is actually awful.

- Hello.

So Bailey went home tonight.

You know, she was really
looking for validation,

and I couldn't give that to her.

And you can't just
lead people on.

But as hard as it was, this...

This rose tonight means
that I want to spend

more meaningful time with you.

I want to get to know you more.

And I feel in my heart
and in my gut

that there is something here.

And I want to explore it more.

- The whole group date tonight
for me felt like

a performance from Christina.

So please, I just hope and pray

that Christina does not get
the rose.

- So the rose tonight goes to...

Charity.

Charity, will you accept
this rose?

- Absolutely, thank you.

- Of course.

- Thank you.

- Of course.

I really appreciate tonight
with all of you all.

And I will see you real soon.
Real, real soon.

So...

- Are you so happy?

- I really felt like
I needed this validation,

which I was, like,
a little unsure of.

So I'm just really happy.

- You deserve it.

- Yeah, you do.
- Thank you.

- Um, I'm just confused,
honestly.

I mean,
maybe I missed something,

but I'm just confused.
- Oh, I'm sorry, what?

- I'm confused.
- Did I say something wrong?

- You did not, but honestly,
I'm mad that it wasn't me.

Duh.

- Okay, I'll be on hon... listen.

I'm gonna shoot straight
yet again.

I feel like,
in a lot of settings so far,

you make a lot of things
about you.

- But like,
I am trying to be 100

and say everything.

- Christina, you're not
making, like, any sense right
now,

and you're just upsetting
Charity.

And I think it's better...
- I'm not trying

to upset Charity.
- I'm not saying you are,

but you're really not making
lots of sense.

So I think everyone
should just stop...

- Okay.
- Talking.

- Christina definitely hijacked

that moment from Charity.

Like, she's trying
to intimidate and manipulate

and be calculated.

I'm just sick of her BS.

- Would it have been better

for me to just, like,
not be truthful?

- Every situation,
you turn it around on you,

to be honest, respectfully.

Yeah.

- Damn.

- I don't want to ruin
the moment, by any means.

But like, I'm confused,
honestly.

- Christina, you're not focusing

on what just happened.

We lost one of our best friends.

And someone just got
a very deserving rose.

And we can discuss this
when emotions are less,

but right now,
I don't think, like,

talking about it in circles
is gonna provide us

any benefit.
- Okay.

- I'm like, bitch, shut up.

Once again, Christina was
making it about herself

and doesn't respect
any of our feelings.

So I feel like something

needs to be said to Zach
pretty soon.

- It would have been
really easy to have been like,

"I'm happy for you, yes."

- Have you ever considered

just literally shutting the up?

Oh.

- Who got the rose?

Charity.

- Did you hear about Bailey?
- No.

- She left.
- She went home.

- What?

- She got sent home.
- What?

- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.

- Like, did she send herself?

Or did he sent her?
- He sent her.

- He sent her.

- So she's gone?
- Mm-hmm.

- With Bailey leaving,

the vibe is a little solemn
today.

- Did, like, something happen?

Or just like, the connection
just wasn't there?

- I think just the connection
wasn't there.

- Zach is not here
to play games.

He clearly knows what he
wants, because at the end of
the day,

he's looking for a wife.

- I'm taking Aly
on today's one-on-one date.

Being with her
is already a blast.

We have this really
easy connection

that came really quick.

- Hello.

- Wow.

- How are you?

- Good, how are you doing?

- Oh, my goodness, so good.

- So good to see you.

- Mm.

- The date card reads,
are you ready to fall in love?

And the date card came
with a box

that had a bridal gown in it.

To be honest, I kind of
just want to show you

what this date's gonna be.

- Let's do this.

- I just want Aly
to really feel special.

I wanted to give her
a little gift

to maybe give her a little
clue to what we're doing.

Let's just say
if this one-on-one date

goes really well,
I think our relationship

will hit new heights.

There she is.

- I think you're gonna have me
have a heart attack today.

- Why is my heart pounding now?

- Mine too. Mine too.

- What I'm really looking for

is a best friend that you can

have a great time with
all the time.

And Aly is a blast.

She seems really adventurous.

And you have to be a little
brave to do this kind of date.

I am terrified.

Will you jump out of this
really scary plane with me?

I do.

Holy.

What did I actually
just get myself into?

I think deep down inside
I was still hoping we were
just

gonna take a plane ride
and not actually

jump out of the plane.

- You seem actually really calm.

- I am not calm at all.
Please don't get that
confused.

- You actually do.

- I am losing my mind right now.

So I was just kind
of freaking out,

but also, like, trying
to stay mellow and cool

and calm,
because, you know, my man

is standing in front of me.

- All right, so you guys ready
to get harnessed up?

- Let's do it.

- Let's do it.
- Oh, my God.

It's getting really real.

- Jumping in the jumpsuit.
I'm excited.

- Jumping in the jumpsuit.

Yeah.

- Jumping with the tux.

- I feel like James Bond,
except maybe...

Maybe you're James Bond.

But whatever it is...
- Ooh, looking good, though.

Looking good.
- Man, I'm excited.

You're looking good. Oh.

Jumping out of a plane
is just like this journey,

just like falling in love.

So let's do it!

Ah!

- And we're taking off
with this door open.

- Hey, don't worry about it.

You're about to fall
out of that door.

- Ready?

- I'm ready.

- I'm ready.

My heart's racing.

And I have this sensation of
needing to use the restroom.

But he was there
to, like, hold my hand

and make me feel comfortable,
which was really nice.

Lean forward.

- It's really too late
to back out.

The things you do for love.

Look down.
- Ready.

- Set. Go!
- . Ahh!

- Yeah, buddy.

- Whoo!
- Whoa!

- Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

- Whoo-hoo-hoo!

No way. Oh, wow.

Oh!
- There we go.

- Or not.
- You made it.

- Yeah, but that was fantastic.

I'm not gonna lie.
- Yeah.

- Ah!

- Oh.

That was so much fun!

- That was fun.
- Yes, it was.

- Oh, my God.

- Literally a minute ago,
we were just like...

- I am physically on the ground.

But my body is not.
It is quite confused.

Oh, my God.

I don't even know where I am.

Mm!

- Mm.

- Yes,
but for different reasons.

Holy.

- Oh, that was incredible.
- Wow.

Today has been incredible.
- Yeah.

- And I really enjoyed
this time with you.

- I did too.

- And you make it so fun.

And I don't know, just like
talking with you all today,

I have really enjoyed
this with you.

So I appreciate you.

- Me too.

- I'm feeling great with Aly.

Today has been such a fun date.

It's a very early connection,

but there is something here.

And tonight I can't wait

to get to know Aly
a little bit more.

- Mm.

- Mm, mm-mm.

Mm-mm-mm.
- Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm.

- Fun in the sun...

- It's a pool party. Uh, uh!

- Coming up
on "The Bachelor."

- Here we go.

- Ooh.
- Ooh.

- I'm feeling really good.

Today, like, I expected Zach

to make me feel special
and make me feel wanted.

- After you.

- Mm-hmm.

What I did not expect
was him to literally

sweep me off my feet
and do things

like jump from an airplane

and sit down and have wine
at a winery in a hot tub.

We had such an amazing day.

- Here's the ride up.

Oh, my goodness.

Oh, my gosh.

- You ready?

Yeah.

Oh, this is kind of cool.

Tonight I desire to open up
and want to open up,

but struggle with it.

I'm scared of emotions
because it becomes real.

And I can no longer, like,
hide behind being happy

if I'm no longer happy
or if we don't work out.

And I don't really want
to do that anymore.

And I hope that
at the end of tonight,

he sees me for who I am...

- Here's your little setup
for the evening.

- It's so nice.

After just knowing
all sides of me.

- So excited you're here.

- Me too.

- Mm.
- Mm.

- That was nice.

- Today was awesome.

- It was incredible.

I loved it.
What was your favorite part?

- I mean,
what part wasn't incredible?

Like, the... okay.

- So obviously, like,
the jumping part

was nerve-racking.
- Mm-hmm. Yeah.

- But you coming out first,
you looked like an absolute
pro.

- Oh, my gosh.

- You have this quality
about you

that you seem so confident,

and I can tell
you are confident.

- Mm-hmm.

- But like you're also so fun.

And that's what, like,
I'm really looking for.

Like, I'm looking for someone
that has her together.

- Yeah.
- I...

We'll break that down later.

Well, you fooled me.

- Eh, I fool a lot of people.

- You fool a lot of people?
- Yeah.

- Why do you say that?
- I don't know.

Today was really, really good,
because I feel like

this is, like, the first time
in a while, like,

I'm not in control of anything.

Very type A.

I like to be in control
of, like,

how the day goes
and what I'm doing.

And that just I think
manifests from

just some of, like,
my past relationships

that I've been in.
- Hmm.

- And either, like, being with
people who are controlling,

or using controlling
as, like, a coping mechanism

for, like, if I can control
everything that goes on,

then, like, no one can hurt
me, or...

- Yeah.

- It's like
how I protect myself.

Like, it's so much easier
to be happy.

Like, it's my comfort space.

But like it's also okay for me
to vocalize needing a moment

and, like, putting myself first.

And I don't think I've ever
done that in relationships.

So I feel like if there's
anything that I would want

out of this,
it's, like, a safe place

where I could, like,
put myself first,

but still, like, I don't know,
be fully invested in you.

I've said a lot now.

- No, no, no, I appreciate that.

Like, that's a lot.

And it sounds like... it sounds
like maybe in the past

like you weren't, like,
maybe your full self,

like, with other
relationships? - Yeah.

- Or like, it sounds like
you put yourself second

in a relationship,
which I've done the same
thing.

Everyone wants to, like, impress

their significant other.

They want to make sure

that they look like
this perfect thing.

But I think, like, you are,
like, this kick-ass woman

who we really didn't know
each other.

And for me being someone
who's new in this

getting to know you, I'm like,
I want to see more of you,

like you.

Like, not what you, like,
want to try to show off.

- Yeah.

- Like, what you are naturally

is what I'm 100% interested in.

- Thank you.

Talking to him feels
very comfortable.

He just created, like, a safe
space where I could talk.

Like, that felt really good.

- You kick ass, so...
- Mm.

- You kick ass.

- I did open myself up,
and I became vulnerable.

And I do really like him.

And I do want to continue on.

And so not getting the rose
would hurt a lot.

Yeah.

- What this rose means to me
is the chance of having you

obviously here another week,
but also for our relationship

to continue to grow.

And Aly, will you accept
this rose?

- I will.

Mm.

- Aly blew me away tonight.

It's crazy how one day
can change so many things.

I am really,
really excited to see

what's gonna happen
with Aly and I.

I do have one more surprise
for Aly tonight.

We've got a little bit
of a performance

by Griffen Palmer.

- I am feeling
absolutely incredible.

Getting the validation
of having the rose

and wanting to continue
with me was fantastic.

And then the concert
was just above and beyond.

- Couldn't have ended
the night on a better note.

Absolutely the most romantic
date I've ever been on.

- Falling out of the sky
was scary,

but falling in love with him
will be worth it.

- I could definitely see myself

falling in love with Zach.

- Sun...

- The weather's almost as hot
as me right now.

Fun...

- Everyone looks like
they're having a great time.

- And drama.

- I have went through
so much to be here.

For that to be, like,
put against me is just silly.

This would be a mistake.

- Coming up next...

- Please, help me.
Help me, help me, help me.

Please, help me.

- I am a little nervous,
I guess,

for tonight, just because
there's still a lot of us.

I still want to make sure
I get time to talk with him.

But I'm excited to see him.

And I hope I get a rose

so I can stick around
and keep chatting with him.

- Today is gonna be
very important for me.

I really feel like we had
a spark at the beginning,

but now, like, things have
eroded a little bit for me.

So I'm just hoping
that I can get

that connection with Zach.

- I feel confident about
our... like, our connection

that we've, like, maintained.

So like, I'm really excited
to, like,

get more in depth with him.

- I'm feeling pretty good.

It's pretty obvious to everyone

that family is important
to Zach.

And I did meet
his entire family.

So I bet that everyone's
a little bit jealous.

But I'm not here
to make friends.

I came here for Zach.

So I don't feel like
I have to hold back.

- Morning, everybody.
- Hey.

- So how are we all feeling
after this week of dates?

- Great.
- Sore.

- Yeah, sore.

- Now, I know you're all aware

there is a Rose Ceremony
tonight.

You're probably also, though,
wondering why I'm here.

- Yes. Yeah.
- Exactly.

- So Zach has decided
that he doesn't feel

he needs
the cocktail party tonight.

- Oh, great.
- No.

- Oh, no.

- The good news, though...

- Ahh!

- Oh?
- Okay.

- Is that Zach wants to have
a pool party today!

And here's the thing,
he's on his way here right
now.

- Ah!

- So you better go
get a swimsuit,

fire up the barbecue.

Get ready for some fun
in the sun.

It's gonna be awesome.

- It's a pool party. Uh, uh.

- I'm excited to see Zach.

It'll be a fun, chill day.

I'm ready.

- So excited.

We've been wanting this pool
party with him for a while.

So we're excited
to kick it with Zach.

All right.

The weather's almost as hot
as me right now.

- Cheers to being all
in silly, goofy moods,

and getting Zach in
his silly, goofy mood.

Yeah, let's have a day.

- Whoo!

- Cheers.

- Speaking of...

- Oh, my...

- Ow, ow!

- Hello!
- Hello.

- Hello.

- Holy...

- I knew your thighs
would be out.

- They are short shorts, okay?

We're good.
- Hello, hello.

- Hello.

- What's up, ladies?

- Zach looks frickin' hot.

Take it off.

- Soft launch the chest hair.

That's what I heard.

I heard.

- Wow.

- There is a Rose Ceremony
coming up.

I know, I'm really... I'm
soaking in this moment, guys.

I'm really sorry.
Is everyone jealous?

And I feel like I need
a little icebreaker of sorts,

just cause it's harder
to get moments with him.

- Yeah!
- Whoo!

- Yes, yes.

- How much better is this

than a formal cocktail party?

"May I steal you?" No.
- I know.

- That's... everyone looks like
they're having a great time.

- Oh, yeah.
- That's all I can ask for

is, like, I want everyone
to feel comfortable,

like, during this.
- I just hope there's, like,

no chicken fights later.

- I didn't even think of that.

Whoo!

- Okay, cheers
to having a fun-ass day.

- I'm having a lot of fun.

I mean, it's a pool party.

But I'm hoping
that we can still talk.

And it's actually very warm.

I feel lucky to have any time
at all with Zach,

even if he's not looking
at my eyes.

I just wanted to ask

how you're feeling
through everything.

I know you've been
through this process before.

- I did not expect it,
you know, to be, like,

this fun and, like, whirlwind
-y of an adventure, right?

- Sure.
- It's a lot.

But I'm enjoying this.

And I'm enjoying
my time with you, and...

- About to ask you
a question now.

- Yes, please do.
- Are you trying to kiss me?

- And I also want
to kiss you again.

"Are you trying to kiss me?"

- Are you laughing at me?
- No.

- I always, like,
cut the moment.

I can't keep, like...
- No, it's like...

- Instead of just letting you
kiss me...

- It's all so good.
- I was like,

are you trying to kiss me?

My parents are watching!

You can kiss me again
if you want.

I'll just... let's redo that.

- Here, how about I lift you up?

- Oh, wow, that's good.

- I'm really, really excited

with the momentum
I'm having with Ariel.

Every single moment
to this point,

it's been an absolute blast.

The romantic spark
is definitely there.

- Did you touch my butt?

- No, I'm grabbing your leg.

You, I swear...

It's so fun.

But she's not the only one.

You know, a lot of these women

have been really open
and vulnerable.

Did you like
the pool party so far?

- Yes, but at first
it was kind of hard.

I, like, naturally just
am an overthinker,

and I wear my heart
on my sleeve.

I show my emotion.

Like, I genuinely don't know
how to hide it.

I do like you.

I do get excited
when you come around.

Like, my shaking has stopped
as much, because I'm like...

Yeah.
- It has.

- Yeah.
- That's...

- Because I'm getting
more comfortable.

And like, it's just...

It's exciting to see,
like, where this could go.

You make me feel better.

So thank you.

- You're awesome.

- Thank you.

- For someone like Jess,
she's had a real hard time

coming out of her shell.

- And I like kissing you.

- Hmm, I like kissing you too.

You know, seeing her opening
up and being vulnerable with
me,

I'm so happy that I decided
to have this pool party.

- If you want to talk
about serious things,

we can, but I'd rather...

- No, let's just do this.

- But also,
I'm down for anything.

Ooh, ooh.
- Oh, oh.

- She's learning.

- How are you feeling?

- I mean, you see
I'm super emotional today.

I came into this
genuinely feeling

like everything
was gonna fall into place

for Zach and I,
and that, unfortunately,

hasn't been my experience.

Right now I'm feeling raw
and numb at the same time.

It's confusing to me when I see

that connections
are being formed,

and some of these women
are saying

that they have
such deep feelings.

- Okay.
- Well, you win.

- When I have been
feeling like there might not

be anything here
with me and Zach romantically.

- Who won?

- Me?

- So I'm disheartened,
a little heartbroken,

and kind of feeling like
I'm on my way out.

Nice to see you.

- Nice to see you too.
How are you doing?

- Uh... I'm doing good.

Um, today's been
a really tough day for me,

because after our chat
at the antique shop,

I was really feeling good
about where we were, like...

- Yeah.

- And I felt like
we were on the same page.

And then
it was just heartbreaking

to hear that you felt like
I had my walls up with you

and that you couldn't
be natural around me.

And I guess I just
kind of wanted to know,

like, what made you feel
like you couldn't

be comfortable with me?

- Well, I think when talking
to you, it just feels off.

And I don't know.

It just seems guarded
and put together.

Like, it just didn't seem real.

I don't know.

Like, I'm being honest with
you about how I'm feeling.

But it just feels not natural.

- Yeah, I really am trying
so hard to, like,

open up
and share things with you.

And I am being genuine with you.

And honestly, like, today,
I've been so sad,

because I'm planning to leave.

And it just sucks, because
I think you're so handsome.

I think you're amazing.
- Yeah, I mean...

- And I want to get to know
you so badly.

But it's just like, for me...

- We can't force anything
that's not there.

- Exactly, and I feel like

our connection didn't get
to get off the ground

because of hard things

that I've been going through
in the house.

And a lot of the girls, I think,

are struggling to be authentic,

because a lot of the girls
in the house

have had intimidation

and, like, really hard times
with this person.

But honestly,
the only reason that I even

feel comfortable sharing this
with you right now

is because...
'cause I'm planning to leave.

- Mm-hmm.

- And that person
is... is Christina.

She made Charity cry

after you gave her the rose
last time.

And she made me cry
several times.

- Mm-hmm.

- We should be able to be
in, like, a safe environment.

- Yeah.

- Where there's no intimidation.

And for more people
than just me,

Christina has done that.

You know, I just wanted
to let you know how I feel.

But I do just have to leave
for, like,

my own peace of mind.
- Of course. Of course.

Let me give you a big hug.

So nice getting to know you.

- Nice to meet you. Bye.

- I'm shocked.

It just doesn't make sense.
I'm lost.

Like, I just witnessed

how quick a connection
can fall apart.

I mean, I feel so bad
Brianna is leaving.

But no,
it's, like, more than that.

- Hi, pretty girl.

- Bye, babies.
- No.

- Are you serious?

- Yeah, I told him
that I want to go.

- Wait, no, no, no.
- No.

- With her letting me know,
too, that, like, other women

in the house possibly don't
feel comfortable about being

so open and, like, vulnerable
because of Christina,

alarms are going off.

- I wish I could stay
and, like, just, like...

But I'm not someone to pretend.

- All these women here
have taken that leap

and shown that.

So it's a little mind boggling

to hear that now it's not true.

Like, what am I missing?

I absolutely want this to be
a safe space for the women.

And if they're not
feeling safe with me,

then something's wrong,

and I need to figure out
what's going on.

- I mean,
it's just, like, really sad

to lose, like, a friend here,
and I just, like...

I feel for her a lot.

- She meant a lot to me.

I don't know what just happened.

But like, yeah,
that's really upsetting.

That's crazy.

- It wasn't just, like,
what we think is the obvious

of, like, her not having
a... or not feeling

a connection with Zach.

Like, there was a lot
of other, like, variables

in the picture.

- Brianna just came in
and told us

that she's decided to go home.

It was hard to see her go.

But at the same time,
I'm proud of her.

And I respect her for having

that hard conversation
with Zach.

So I'm mixed emotions.

- Hi, ladies.
- Hi.

- Hey.
- Hi.

- Well, first off,
I just kind of

want to address
the elephant in the room.

Brianna is no longer here.

I don't know.

It's never fun, like,
having, like,

a tough conversation like that.

And she was struggling,
actually,

which brings me
to my next point.

She did say that there is
someone or some people

that are making others feel
uncomfortable in the house

and making them feel
like they can't be

open and vulnerable with me.

And like, that was
an absolute gut punch.

So obviously, I'm gonna want
to speak with some individuals

just about it
to hear if it's going on,

because there's a time
and a place for everything.

And for that, it's not...
It's not here.

If I haven't stressed it
enough, no.

So I first want to just talk
with Christina.

Is that okay?

Having this kind of information

and hearing about this,
it's devastating.

It sucks.

You know, with Christina, like,

I had, like, the best start
you could ever have.

She was in my house.

She met my family.

She met my dogs.

So...

I need to figure this out.

I mean, I don't know
where to really start.

But it's come to my attention
that women in the house

have felt hurt and insecure

because of you.

And I was shocked.

And I wanted to talk to you
about that.

- I...

I've been confronted
by some of the girls.

Like, I'm rubbing people
the wrong way.

Like, I'm able to be
just outgoing

and, like, happy and loud,

and a lot of people
are taking that as, like,

me wanting to be
the center of attention,

and that I feel
like I'm privileged in a way

or, like, more special
or have a better

relationship with you
than other people

because, like,
I met your family.

But like, there were two girls
to kind of confront me.

But I was happy
to offer clarification.

And I thought it was settled.

- I know, and that's
what concerns me.

- And it's like... I know.
I know.

And it's like...

- Because I can't have...
I can't, like, have...

- You can't have any drama.
I know.

- Because I don't... like,

I have the shortest time...
Like, time for this.

- It's silly.

It's so silly, I know.
- We have limited time.

- I don't get it.
I don't get it.

I don't get it.

This would be a mistake.

It would be a mistake
to believe this.

And I'm, like...
I full-heartedly mean that.

Like, it would be a real bummer.

It really, really would.

- Do you know where it is hard
for me, it's like the fact

that I'm here to find
my best friend

and I have to deal
with stuff like this.

I'm... I'm... I'm nerv...
I'm worried.

I'm simply...
Like I'm worried, 100%.

- Like, that's a scary thought.

Like, what the?

That's not me at all.

I just feel like I don't want
to be the victim,

but like, what the?

- I mean...

- I get what you're doing.

Like, I get why you
have to do this.

- I don't...
- No, not what you're doing.

I get that you have
to obviously confront this.

But like,
this makes no sense to me.

What can help?
Please, help me.

Help me, help me, help me.

Please, help me.

- I don't know.
I have to think.

I have to think.

Like, this is all
being thrust upon me.

Give me a hug.

I need to think about
just everything.

- I know.

- Come here, come here,
come here.

I need to think about it.

- I didn't expect this tonight.

I really didn't.

I don't want anyone
to be hurting

because of something that I did,

'cause that was never
the intention,

and I thought we had settled it.

- Brooklyn, can we talk?
- Yeah.

Like, I have went through
so much to be here.

I've got a life
and my baby girl at home.

And I understand
being misunderstood,

but like, for that to be,
like, put against me is just
silly.

- I do think, like,

she does have a big, bold,
strong personality.

- Yeah.
- However,

like, Charity got the rose.
- Yeah.

- Christina was just like,
"I'm just confused."

- Hmm.

- So Charity was truly,
truly upset.

- I'm a lot.

And I didn't hurt anybody
intentionally at all.

I don't know how to offer him
any kind of more clarity,

because, like,
I'm just not good at that.

- I was feeling really upset
after the group date,

because I felt like
in that moment,

my moment was taken away.

- Oh.
- Mm-hmm.

- I'm sorry that she did that.
- Mm-hmm.

- Um...
- Yeah, so I'm sorry.

- No.
- I know.

I'm, like, over here shaking.
- No, no, no.

It's okay. It's okay.

I'm here for Zach.

I expected to like the dude,

but not as much and as fast,

and as strong
and in the way I do.

But I do.

So frustrating.

- Good evening, everybody.
- Hi, Jesse.

- I just left Zach.

Understandably,
he's very, very confused.

He just doesn't feel like
he can continue on

with the pool party
at this point.

I think you all should take
a moment, gather yourselves.

And I'll see you
at the Rose Ceremony.

- I really don't want
to go home tonight.

I'm feeling such a strong
connection with Zach.

And I mean,
I know he feels it too.

And I can see
Zach being a stepdad.

I feel like I'm just
hanging on for my life.

I think he trusts me, hopefully.

But like, how do you say
three girls,

one who went home
because of me, are lying?

- I don't know.

It just doesn't look good
for me.

And it really hurts.

- It's okay.

- It looks real bad
for me right now.

I don't feel good about how
things were left with Zach.

There's, like,
three different people

that are now against me,
saying that

I'm stopping connections
in the house

from happening with him.

When I tried to explain myself,

I felt it not going well.

I really want to be here,

because I had such a crazy,
weird connection with him.

But like,
it's gonna be a big bummer

if I go home because...
Because of this.

It's such a misunderstanding.

- Hi, ladies.

Hi.

- What a day. What a day.

To be honest, I'm struggling
right now a little bit.

I want you to know
that this is so important.

And I don't make
these decisions...

I don't make them easy.

It's really difficult
to feel comf...

Like, fully okay with
what to do and how to do it.

But I think, you know,
these are, like, our lives.

Like, you sacrificed to be here.

And I am just so grateful
to be here with this group.

With that being said...

Jess.

Jess, will you accept this rose?

- Yes. Of course.

- Gabi.

Gab, will you accept this rose?

- Of course.

Thank you.

- Ariel.

Ariel, will you accept
this rose?

- I'll think about it.
No, I'll take it.

- I'm feeling sick
to my stomach.

Like, my heart is pounding.

Like, I actually feel it,
like...

Genevie.

Genevie, will you accept
this rose?

- I will. Thank you.

- I feel like I've been going
back and forth,

back and forth with what has
been going on with Christina.

Greer.

Will you accept this rose?

- Of course.

- I don't want Christina

to jeopardize the relationships,

but also,
I can't ignore the fact

that I do have a really strong
connection with her.

Kat.

Kat, will you accept this rose?

- Yes, of course.

- Christina is someone

I could see myself
in the future with.

You know, she is beautiful,

and our one-on-one date
went so well.

Kylee.

Will you accept this rose?
- Of course I will.

- But at the same time,

I have to be cautious for myself

and look at the big picture.

Davia.

- Davia, will you accept
this rose?

- Getting a little greedy.

- I look around the room
and just see

these incredible women.

Anastasia.

Anastasia, will you accept
this rose?

- Yes, I will.

- I see relationships

where I am so confident in

that are on a great foundation.

Brooklyn.

- Brooklyn, will you accept
this rose?

- I will.

- Ladies, Zach,

it's the final rose tonight.

When you're ready.

- There's, like,
that little sliver of me
inside

that wants to forget that

what happened today
even happened.

It's the biggest
internal battle I've had

in maybe forever,

and it's the most difficult
decision I've made to date.

Mercedes.

Mercedes, will you accept
this rose?

- Always. Thank you.

- Christina, I am so sorry.

Please take a moment
and say your goodbyes.

- I understand.

- I am so sorry.

- I get it.

It's a lot.

- I know it's a lot.

- I hope you meet
your best friend.

- Thank you so much, Christina.

I appreciate you.

And I wish you the best.

- You're gonna...
You're doing this good.

You're gonna find it.

- Thank you.

- I don't know exactly
what to feel right now.

Right now,
it just kind of hurts.

Zach blew me away.

I expected to like him,

but not as much as I did,

so fast.

- Obviously,
that was really hard.

Um...

they do not get any easier,

but you all make it so easy,

and every time I'm with you,

I get, like,
a rush of adrenaline.

- I was myself, and uh,

and I hope he finds his person.

Sadly, it's not me.

- I can't wait for another week.

Like, we're doing some awesome
stuff in the future.

And you ladies
are just so lovely.

So cheers to you.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

- Next week on "The Bachelor"...

Zach!

We love the Bahamas!

- Being in the Bahamas feels
like a nice, fresh restart.

- Good food, good vibes,
and a lot of Zach.

- This is the time where
deep feelings start to rise.

I'm feeling really hopeful.

- Damn it, she got fireworks.

- Oh, feels so good!

I want to go home.

- I'm not gonna fight a bitch.

All fair in the game of
love. -

- She's here for social media
and personal gain.

- There may be someone here
for the wrong intention.

- I don't have a good feeling
about this.

- I don't know what's true
and what's not.

But I need to get
to the bottom of it quick.

Are you really here for me?

- You can't hide
the truth forever.

It comes out eventually.

- It's all next week
on "The Bachelor."

- Lately,
when I've been dating someone

or, like, getting to know them,

been able to be around them
longer than a whole day

without being like,
"Oh, there it is."

- There's the ick?
- "There's the ick."

- Ooh.
- What is "the ick"?

- The ick is, if you get it,
you cannot come out of it.

- Yeah, just something that,
when you see it

and you experience it,

it makes you feel icky
about the person,

and you just no longer
want to be around them.

- Yeah, it's... and it might be
the dumbest thing

that gives you the ick...
Like, it might just be,

like, literally
the way he opens the door...

- Yeah.
- Bothers me.

And he could literally

save the world for me,
and I would still have it

and still not be able
to get past it.

So far,

Zach has passed the test.

- Yeah. Zero icks.

Usually, the ick comes

within the first couple
of hours for me.

- Yeah, I was about to say,

icks are more like
first-interaction type things.

- Yeah.
- I like him enough

as a person now
to not get the ick.

- Yeah.
- Girl, I swear to God,

I get the ick if you take
too long to park the car.

Like...

If you're looking
for a parking spot,

like, then find a parking spot.

Park it.
- Yeah.
