There's a new "Bachelor" in town and, per usual, it hasn't taken long for sparks to fly. Two episodes deep and cracks are already beginning to show so bet on the Bachelor odds at BookMaker.eu
25-year-old real estate agent Lace Morris, from Denver, CO, confessed to the cameras on episode 2 that she got too drunk on Night 1 and failed to show Ben her true self. She hoped to get a date to redeem herself.
The season's first Date Card arrived and the following girls were invited on a group outing: Jackie; LB; Mandi; Becca Tilley, a 26-year-old chiropractor assistant from San Diego, CA; Jubilee Sharpe, a 24-year-old war veteran from Miami, FL; Amber James, a 30-year-old bartender from Chicago, IL; Lauren Himle, a 25-year-old kindergarten teacher from Ann Arbor, MI; JoJo Fletcher, a 24-year-old real estate developer from Dallas, TX; Jennifer Saviano, a 25-year-old small business owner from Fort Lauderdale, FL.
Oh, and Lace.
Ben took the women "back to school," because going on a reality TV show in search of a husband isn't humiliating enough. Once inside a high school, host Chris Harrison explained the girls must "take classes" in teams of two, and at the end of each class, one team would be eliminated until only one remains.
Classes entailed the hopefuls building explosive volcanoes, bobbing for apples, finding the state of Indiana on a map of the United States, and making a basketball free throw.
Amber and Mandi won, and then the two girls were required to race each other on an outdoor track. Mandi defeated everyone and therefore became homecoming queen. She got to ride around the track alone in a car with Ben, wearing a tiara and letterman jacket.
That night, the group got to spend more time with Ben, and Becca pulled him away first. Lace was determined, however, to get that rose.
Becca reassured Ben that she was "in this" and no longer holding herself back in the fear of getting hurt. Ben was excited to move forward with Becca. Ben also saw something special in Jennifer, and kissed her.
Meanwhile, everyone at the mansion received the next Date Card. Olivia, a 23-year-old from Austin, TX, hoped she'd get the first one-on-one date since she earned the First Impression Rose, but it ended up being Caila, a 23-year-old in software sales from Wellesley Hills, MA.
Back on the group date, Lace apologized for coming across "negative" after the first Rose Ceremony, and Ben appreciated her openness.She felt they were on the same page, and Ben called her beautiful. Jubilee then snagged Ben for a little alone time and he complimented her smile. Not necessarily a good sign.
It wasn't long before Lace was back to complaining about not having enough time with Ben, and the girls were really annoyed because, at that point, Amber and JoJo hadn't gotten any time at all.Lace will provide a ton of fodder this season.
Ben then asked to speak with JoJo alone. He brought her up on the roof and said he loved her bubbly attitude.Ben decided to give the group date's rose to JoJo. Jubilee later cried to the cameras, saying she felt like opening up to Ben didn't really matter.
The next day, Ben went on his one-on-one with Caila -- with the help ofRide Along 2stars Kevin Hart and Ice Cube. Why? I don't really know.
The foursome drove around LA in a classic car with a couple stops along the way. Ben bought Caila flowers, but then our movie stars made Ben stop at a liquor store. The date ended with Ben and Caila awkwardly sitting in a hot tub inside of a store and drinking champagne. Ben thought Caila was fun and he appreciated how she could roll with the punches.
Next up, the season's second Rose Ceremony. Leah, a 25-year-old event planner from Denver, CO, got some private time with Ben. She feared Ben had forgotten about her, but the Bachelor assured her that wasn't the case.
JoJo, Caila and Olivia were all safe. Ben handed out roses to Amanda, Jubilee, Lauren B, Leah, Becca, Lace, and LB.
However, the journey was too much for LB and so she told Ben she needed to leave. One down - how many to go?
