Let's get to the good stuff!
If you remember from last week we already had the Fantasy Suite date with Nick - it was magical, they "talked" all night (to be fair, I suppose there were some words involved), and it was wonderful. Now it's time for Ben Brady's date.
The horse whisperer he is not - here's a tip: stop talking to the animals and start talking to your "girlfriend". They rode horses, fed some donkeys, fed some sheep, then had dinner at a castle. That was the best part, aside from the dull company. They talked, and then mosied upstairs for some alone time. I hate the cheesey camera shot of Kaitlyn putting the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the doorknob - we all know what's going to happen, this ain't our first rodeo.
In the morning we catch up to them embracing in front of the window with the lovey-dovey editing haze around them. I'm not kidding, that had to cost a pretty penny:
He then left with his backpack (I've never seen anyone else leave with an overnight bag in tow - is he the only one to have thought of this? Smart - you have your change of clothes, clean undies, and a toothbrush. All necessary for the Fantasy Suite)
On to Shawn's overnight date! They go golfing and both actually do pretty well - this is one of the most "regular" dates I've seen yet and is a nice change. Well, until Kaitlyn decides Gosling needs to change out of his clothes for the last hole. Resurrecting Jillian's black box one more time:
She passed it off as playing Truth or Dare but this was the only round and then she swiped his clothes and made him chase after her. In broad daylight, on a golf course. Really, Kait? C'mon - save that for your alone time tonight.
They then go to dinner, talk about Eskimo Brothers and he gets MAD. It's a good thing he can distract himself with some sweet sweet love or else Nick would be getting a pounding right now! They quickly grab their date card and head up to the suite.
Morning after, who do we find waiting outside Shawn's room:
Oh, man. It's time for Rock'em Sock'em Robots Round 2:
As you could've guessed Gosling was really mad, actually threatened Nick, and kicked him out of his room. Don't know why Nick thought that would be a good idea, but he's not the brightest bulb on the tree.
Rose Ceremony
Thank goodness for DVR because I was so distracted by Kaitlyn's dress that I didn't hear a damn thing OG or her were saying.
Here's a zoom because how can you not stare:

| Can you see her belly button?! |
Pause - Rewind - OK they're talking about her feelings and how she's making her decision about who's the 3rd Wheel that needs to go home. Dang, how Harrison got through that convo without losing eye contact is amazing.
She starts crying but I guessed it before it happened -- Ben, you are the weakest link. Goodbye. She bids him farewell, comes back in to cheers the arch rivals - and then she leaves. The cameras kept rolling and what followed was the most tense 20 seconds of TV I've seen since Caitlyn Jenner's special:
They literally were in this huge ballroom alone. Not talking, not looking at each other - just drinking their champagne and standing there. I thought for sure Shawn was going to throw punches, or that Nick would poke the bear and start some shit again -- but sadly none of that came to fruition. What was the point of that?! The home audience is well versed on the hate between these two - we don't all need to feel uncomfortable, especially if it's not going to lead up to anything! Such a letdown.
To my surprise there was still an hour left after this, so we got right into "hometowns"! First up: The Lithgows. There were literally like 20 of them that came - he's got a handful of brothers, an emotional mother, a giggly father, at least a dozen sisters -- did they all have to come? Non star players in this should stay home. They met Kaitlyn, loved Kaitlyn, and Nick and his mom got a case of the feels:
She left and met up with Shawn. He only had 4 people with him, including one sister who didn't have any eyebrows:
Even stink-face on the left is distracted by it. Draw them in, tattoo them on, do something! They loved Kaitlyn too, and Shawn finally told her those 3 magic words "I killed Nick" "I love you". Aww.
Next week is Men Tell All (already!!) and then in 2 weeks is the finale!!! This season has gone by fast and I can't wait to hear what the guys have to say next week! We got a preview of Kaitlyn crying about having the 2 guys left love her and not knowing what to do:
What a problem to have ... (eyeroll). Sounds like her diamond shoes are too tight. Amirite?
See you next week!
