The Bachelor: Season 16 Episode 7



BELIZE!

Emily has coined Courtney the SHARK! I loves it. This is a BIG week, the 4 girls that receive roses get to bring Ben home to meet their families. This is also the week that the girls start to FREAK OUT. They all have strong feelings for Ben and start to really hate all of the other girls. Chill out women, enjoy the beach you are in BELIZE!

Date Card #1 Lindzi…Two halves make a hole.
Ben is fully embracing the man tank trend in Belize. I’m still not sure how I feel about it, I can’t say I’m exactly swooning. Like any date it starts with a helicopter ride (yawn). Oh so ndb (note the sarcasm). They are jumping from the helicopter into the Blue Hole (doesn’t blue lagoon sound so much better) but Lindzi is in an adorbs polka-dot suit, she can totally do it! Can we stop with the relationship metaphors…”he’s worth the fall” UGH. No you are just jumping out of a helicopter, it doesn’t symbolize that you can have a committed relationship..Oy! And then in the lamest/sweetest I cant tell part of this whole season…Ben and Lindzi write a message in a bottle. The whole day seemed really easy going, I think Lindzi is the closest to the relationship he had with Ashley, they are both goofy and outgoing…and I think Ben is really attracted to that kind of girl.

Date Card #2 Emily…do you belize in love
Easy Peazy as Ben says…bike rides through Belize. This is tots the date I would want to go on…shopping in Belize…helllooo. Annnd then they go diving for lobsters.ouch. No thank you. I wish The Bachelor would make some sexier goggles for this occasion.
..meanwhile Courtney is having a breakdown back at casa de girls. Maybe she’ll freak out and leave. A girl can hope right?
Emily formally invites Ben to come meet her family, she apologizes for being all xrazypants earlier about Courtney (completely justified though). I do think they both really like each other, but I don’t see the spark, maybe it’s just a slow flame… (oh jeez look at me making these metaphors)

Date Card #3 Courtney…Let’s take the next steps in our relationships
OMG you spent the whole 2 days freaking out about this and now she says “he knows whats good for him” Uggghhhh no one gives a hoot! Courtney says she feels like the spark has fizzled a little bit, this date should be interesting. She says she losts the spark on the past few dates, she felt more like a friend to him. I wonder if she felt like a friend when they were skinny dipping? Ben has totally fallen for this one…I’m nervous for him. I really don’t want Ben to keep her but I kind of want to meet her family, see if they are crazy pants as well. Ben’s brow furrows when Courtney says she has a lot of guy friends, and that she thinks all the girls in the house are vanilla.

Date Card #4 Rachel, Nicki, & Kacie B Let’s sea whose family I will meet?
Ben comes into the girls place at 4AM to wake up the girls for a group date. This would nooottt be okay with me, helloo bed head! The girls find out they are going shark diving, because everyone knows you have to over come your fears to have a great relationship…Ben gives all of his time to Rachel, and the other two girls are feeling left  out. When Nicki has her chat with Ben…about her feelings, I don’t see it in Ben’s eyes…or maybe it’s because he’s squinty from the sun. When Ben and Kacie B has there chat, she also lets him know that she is falling for him…and his eyes light up, or maybe I’m just making that up because I like her so much! Ben gives the rose to Kacie B she’s going to the home town dates (in an announcer voice). Ben asks the girls about Courtney, and it gets awkward. The girls tell him to be cautious about Courtney, to tread lightly. Nicki is very vocal about the doubts Ben should have. None of the girls come out and say anything specifically, I think it was a very tasteful conversation.

Rose Ceremony: Courtney expresses how confident she is going into this rose ceremony. The other girls are sad because they know 2 girls are going home. And then Courtney says that Ben is not the only guy in the world…Chris comes in and tells the girls that there will be NO cocktail party because Ben knows exactly what he is going to do. Before he wants to start the rose ceremony he pulls Courtney aside. She says she has been nothing but honest and open and she wasn’t here to make friends and that they can be really happy together in life. Who says that??
Nicki, Lindzi,  and Courtney get the roses. WHY BEN WHY? Ben did say in the beginning that he preferred brunettes, just kicked off two blondes.

Here we come home town dates!!!

XO, Erin
