Chelsea joins Arie for a date on a 100-foot yacht; eleven women split into two teams for a day of competitive bowling; Arie and Tia travel the Florida swamps on an air boat; three women end their journey.

I really hate Arie for giving in to Crystal's stupid temper tantrum. She is the worst kind of woman/girlfriend. She will play games with him and constantly test him. Why would anyone want that? UGH He should have just told her to fuck off. 

I did love that he didn't notice she wasn't there. Those idiots shouldn't have said a thing.

Anyone see the irony of ABC advertising GMA's interview with Rose McGowan representing the MeToo movement... During the Bachelor? What better way to show female empowerment than a show where 30 women degrade themselves while one random dude gets to systematically reject and humiliate them. 

Have you forgotten that the Bachelorette gets to do the same thing to the 25 or so men who degrade themselves in order to pursue HER?  It's equal-opportunity degradation!

Chelsea's date: I'm just mesmerized by her very, very shiny nose... As she goes on and on about what's important in life, how she has nothing but she has everything, etc., Arie's beady eyes just glaze over. She might as well be talking Klingon.

Bowling: I'd be upset if I was on the winning team and then Arie decided to let the losing team share the evening activities. I think I'd be speculating that Arie wanted to be with a girl on the losing team....  Oh, I see later that Arie allegedly was going to extend the evening to accommodate the other ladies. Whatever.

I guess this is the new thing the producers like to do...on Nick's season both the winning and losing beach volleyball teams got to share in the evening activities.

I looked up spoilers for who wins ( not sure why I do that every season , but I can't help myself ) .. but I just don't see him being into any of these girls . I honestly give his relationship with the person who wins less time than chris soules engagement lasted .. even last week in not so many words he said one of the qualities he's looking for in a woman is someone who's ok with him doing his thing and being away a lot .. idk , he just doesn't seem like he's looking for a wife but I guess we shall see

How many times can I tell baby Bekah to shut her cake hole in one night? Girl thinks she has wisdom of the ages and she's 12. Shut it baby Bekah. Just shut it.

I agree, she loves the sound of her voice, meanwhile Krystal throws glitter, maybe she meant shade? LOL

I like Tia, the conversation about religion was refreshing,I have always like Tia, I'm not sure she's his type, we'll see 

She said she grew up in the Church (in the South!) but Arie isn't really even a Higher Power type.  If like many people, as soon as she has kids she will want to raise them the way she was raised:  Church Sunday morning, possibly also Sunday night and very likely Wednesday night.  It will be in a very family-centered, probably Bible-believing faith community.  The husband/father is very involved in church life and family life and I'm not sure Arie will ever do that.

Wow. ABC showed an ad for next week's show that had Krystal in it. Way to build suspense for the rose ceremony. I don't think they care anymore. 

 

Feel bad for Maquel to come back just to go home again. This whole episode was dull.

I’ve noticed that when the Bachelor invites the losing team to the after party, that is because the lady or ladies he is most interested in were on the losing team. 

Arie said that Tia is the lady with whom he feels the most relaxed and comfortable.  Interesting.

I was really hoping no one told him that Krystal wasn't there, just to see how long it took him to notice...  

I kinda hoped they would just not say anything.  I mean, if one is in competition for something and a party doesn’t show up, why would you mention it?  Take the advantage, for g-d’s sake.

i asked my husband how proud he imagined Krystal’s family and friends are of her after tonight’s episode.

@Jaclyn88,

Spoiler

don’t get too wrapped up on an obvious pick.  This whole thing is going to collapse like a house of cards.

I wondered if Krystal wanted to leave (in that angry moment, I mean), but Production wouldn't let her.  

Did Krystal say to one of the girls that during her angry reaction to Arie's "lying" about the bowling prize, she was feeling "pain bodies"?  I heard that and thought maybe she meant she was experiencing body pains. Whatever--I just thought it was odd.

Arie questions God (not sure if he questions "Does God exist" or "If there is a God, well, what's he all about, because I have a lot of friends who died and I don't understand how God would let that happen"). Tia says she wants him to explain so she can better understand his perspective. I think she wants him to explain mainly so she can figure out how best to bring him "back in the fold," should they end up together.  They are not a good fit.

There's a Jacqueline?

Also, another of Arie's stock phrases: "<Contestant's name> is not like any other woman I've met." Sometimes paraphrased as "I've never met a woman like <contestant's name>."

I was fast forwarding through commercials and went too far and could have sworn I saw Arie LICK a bowling ball. I thought to myself, “Ha! Imagine if that happened? That would be so funny\gross!!” So I rewound it and OH MY GOD HE LICKED A BOWLING BALL!!!

 

Also, stop with the freaking screaming, ladies!

Krystal may be attempting a Britt 2.0 impression, but she reminds me most of Big Sarah from skeevy Charlie's season, just less flabby.  Remember how even her father told Charlie she was delusional in how awesome she thought she was?

I had the closed captioning on.  Pain bodies is how it was presented there.

As if Arie's mouth wasn't already gross enough from kissing multiple women in a row, he also had to lick a bowling bowl.

I'm pretty sure the Krystal meltdown/confrontation was planned by the producers ahead of time, because the evening portion of the group date isn't usually filmed at the same hotel where everyone is staying. That was set up so it would be easy for Arie to go to Krystal's room, and then for Krystal to come to the party even though she said she wouldn't (and Arie asked her not to, heh).

When Chelsea told Arie how she fell for a rich older man and was left with nothing when he dumped her, I was hoping that she'd say something along the lines of "now I understand how important it is for a woman to be financially independent before committing to a serious relationship," but who was I kidding.

I'll give the show props for finally airing a conversation about religion, but they stopped short of letting Arie use words like "agnostic" or "atheist." Baby steps, I guess.

That was such a face-palm moment, especially since it was the commercial break that led into the Arie/Krystal confrontation.

Thanks b2H. Pain bodies are the worst, aren't they? ;-)

Question 1: Does Arie get a cash bonus for each woman he manages to get to say "I love you?"  I'm asking in all seriousness, because I think he does.

Question 2: Who thinks the constant talk of Krystal is producer driven?  I do. I think a producer is in that room with the other ladies and keeps focusing the conversation on Krystal--what she did, how she acted, etc.

One shot on the yacht, did I see some really ugly tattoo on Arie's side?  or was that the lighting?  because it looked like a huge tattoo, covering half his ribcage. 

I was laughing when Arie told Chelsea "you did really good on the jet ski, I was impressed!"   Yeah, she straddled you while you steered the jet ski, THAT'S what you were referring to!   And then her whole story about her ex -  she has a kid with an older rich guy, then gets literally kicked to the curb, with her things in garbage bags?  Either she's an idiot for not taking her ex to court for child support, or she is getting money from him, but likes to tell the story her way.  

There are still a couple of blonde girls I can't tell apart.

The goal of the Bachelor is to get as many women as possible to fall in love with him and the goal of the Bachelorette is to get the men to propose.  Honest to goodness.  I was floored when I heard it said on that show UnReal.

She reminds me of Bob the blob! that's how much she bores me

I let a lot of things go as far as grammar or lack thereof but "I've been waiting ON this date." Or the even more heinous "We've been waitin' on you!" = You're dead to me. Just like god is dead to Arie...

I'm sick of the Krystal *glitter* show but should they cut that portion out of this particular season what do we have left? I liked that he told her to go in that room (young lady) and to not come out while the adults are here. I liked seeing him "being cold" because at least that one little dimension more he has in there to work with. I think BOTH were told that Krystal wasn't allowed to be off the show yet, on the same night, which might be a record of some sort.

Oh, and even though I caught the reference that was still a house ball and not a new one at that... that was... haunting.

When Krystal  made her 1,000th proclamation to the group, I wish someone said “you are so brave to show Ari how insecure and desperate for attention you are”.

I also wish someone had told Ari not to reward Krystal’s bad behavior by going to her room (although his smack down was worth it!)

I forgot to mention, I'm really impressed with Tia for holding a non-MD doctorate in a healthcare field and not referring to herself as a physician. Bryan made a mockery of the word when he insisted on referring to himself as a "chiropractic physician" on Rachel's season, and I was worried it would become the norm on this show to attach "physician" to any health-related job title.

I think she's a dead ringer for Vivien Leigh, who played Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With The Wind.

It was obvious from Arie's face that he didn't want to give Krystal that rose. He doesn't have a good poker face. Whatever he's thinking is written all over his face be it anger, contempt, boredom...lol. Bet the producers hate that he's not selling it as well as others have. 

The bowling ball lick..I asked my daughter ( because I only got a glance at it) "did he just lick that ball!!" That's just all kinds of nasty.

I agree with others that Tia's probably not for Arie. She said faith was important to her but she then said easily she could live with someone where it wasn't for them. I think she would regret that later. I did think she looked very pretty on her date though. I noticed her hair looked fuller and had more body than usual. It was pretty framing her face.

I agree. It's almost uncanny how much she looks like her.

Give it time. Someone still could in the future. With this show I wouldn't be surprised. I was impressed with Tia's accomplishments as well. I know it's been said before but why do these women feel they need to come on this show?!?!
