We regrouped with the final 6 ladies in Ben's hometown of Warsaw, IN. A couple of dates to get through, so let's roll.
1:1 Date #1
The flight attendant with the insane cheekbones got the first one-on-one date. They drove around town in a vintage pick up truck, and Lauren B. apparently wasn't worried about a seatbelt because she sat in his pocket the entire time. Law breaker. And annoying.
They drove past Ben's high school, and then went to a youth activity center that he volunteers at to play some hoops with the kids. Throw in a few Pacers for date cred, and that about covers it.
LB got this little Hitler's seal of approval:
Sorry, but either he got smacked it the face with a basketball / was sucking on a pen or marker / or ??? Either way it looks a little too much the Furher. Don't pretend to be shocked - you were thinking it too.
1:1 Date #2
JoJo! Ben meets up with Joelle in Chicago for a little Cubs action. They got Wrigley Field all to themselves, including dinner after running the bases and screwing with the scoreboard. Not like someone won't have to come behind them and fix it, right? I will say it was a really cute touch to have "Mrs. Higgins" monogrammed on the back of her jersey -- I really like her -- hint at how this all ends, maybe??
Group Date
Caila, Becca, and Baby Voice Amanda go for a canoe ride and then wander around a random farm for some quality chat sessions. This was the only date with a rose on the table (literally & figuratively!) and BVA clinched it. As the rest of the gals went back to their lake house Ben and Amanda got to hit the town for some alone time! Where did Ben take her? The golden arches, of course. *Probably not many other options to choose from in swinging Warsaw.
They worked the drive thru and noshed on some fries. Good to know his wife has a job lined up for her when they move to his city, and if the minimum wage hikes go through I just might join her!
1:1 Date #3
This goes to Twin Emily. Ben's so unsure of her that he drags his mom and dad into the mix to vet her out and give the thumbs up/thumbs down. Her naivety and youth do not impress, and she ends her date getting dumped on the dock of the bay. Not as big a hit as "Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay" ... but it plays well in this situation.
Rose Ceremony
No cocktail party, since he's seen each of these gals enough this week. We have 3 roses to hand out and unfortunately Becca comes up short. Not sure what she was expecting, she's as cold as a fish and doesn't seem to have any range of emotions. She did cry in her ride of shame away, but TBH she seems like she'll bounce right back (again).
Next week we head to hometowns! See you then :)
