Spoiler alert! This story contains details from Monday night’s episode of BSC.
Hometown dates await four lucky ladies, but the remaining six must first get through another week in Canada.
Tensions are rising at this point, as all the women begin to form serious relationships with Joey, who says he’s really looking for clarity and confidence before he flies off to meet everyone’s families. This week, there will be two one-on-one meetings while the other four women will have a group date.
Daisy got her first one-on-one date, which isn’t too surprising, considering her first date with Joey was so early in the season. The couple goes horseback riding in the countryside and then enjoys some relaxing time in a hot tub located in the middle of nowhere. At dinner, the conversation gets a little more serious. Daisy tells Joey that she’s not in love with him yet, but she doesn’t want him to think she’s not committed to the process. She sees the potential, she just needs more time.
Joey seems uncomfortable, telling Daisy that he wants to feel confident that meeting her parents will take their relationship to the next level, which she assures him he will. She says they’re protective of her, given how sick she was a few years ago, and want to make sure her partner will truly live out the “in sickness and in health” part of their vows. Joey says he’s all in, and it looks like they both got what they needed out of the conversation, because Daisy got a rose.
Kelsey T, Mariah, Jen and Rachel go on their last group date of the season, and none of them are happy about it. Naturally, they all wish they were chosen for the one-on-one. And Joey knows it too. But he still wants to make the best of the situation and hopes they do too.
For the group date, the women get a lesson in log lifting (is that a word?) and compete in an obstacle course, of sorts. Kelsey T. excels with some impressive skills, but Jenn steals the show when she interrupts one of Joey’s on-camera interviews to give him a “good luck kiss.” Nobody is happy about that. Well, except for Joey and Jane.
At the cocktail party that evening, Maria began thinking that there were other women in relationships with Joey. When she talks to him about it, she says that she may not be able to bear to continue the process and take Joey to meet her parents, because there is still no guarantee that he will choose her, even though she feels confident that they should end up together. together. This confuses Joey, because as much as he loves Maria, he doesn’t want to beg her to stay. After that conversation, Joey decided not to give a rose on the group date, and left another rose at the rose ceremony. OK.
The next day, Kelsey A. had her second one-on-one date with Joey. Looking back on the night he spent with the other women, Joey hopes that this day with Kelsey will make him more confident about their relationship. The couple spends the day exploring the city and participating in the annual polar plunge with the locals. Over dinner, they have a deeper conversation about what this commitment means to them.
Kelsey says she doesn’t take engagement lightly, because she only wants to get married once. Joey promises to take it just as seriously, and assures Kelsey that he won’t propose unless he’s sure. Kelsey A gets a rose.
The four women from the group date are chomping at the bit to get another moment alone with Joey at the cocktail party before the rose ceremony. Especially Maria, who really regretted telling Joey that she might have to leave. But, it looks like none of them will get the chance, because Jesse informs the group that they’re heading straight to the rose ceremony.
That is until Joey arrives and pulls Maria aside In any case. Hey, when you’re the Bachelor, you make the rules. He tells Maria that he really loves her, and wants to keep seeing her, but he needs to know that she’s fully there. She tells him that she realizes that her insecurities have gotten the better of her, and that she doesn’t want to leave. So, Joy decided to give her a rose. He also gives one to Rachel.
This means that Jenn and Kelsey T. are sent packing. Next week, hometown!
