This week Bachelorette Becca is in the Bahamas, where she narrows her field of six suitors — Blake, Garrett, Colton, Wills, Leo and Jason — down to the final four, whose families she’ll meet during hometowns next week.
At the beginning of the episode, Becca tells Chris Harrison that she can see herself falling for a couple of the guys here. “I’m so afraid that something’s gonna ruin it,” she tells Harrison. Is Becca referring to the 9 p.m. interruption when the real world — President Trump’s Supreme Court announcement — will intrude on this two-hour escape from reality?
Good guess! But this was filmed well before Justice Anthony M. Kennedy announced his retirement, so that’s probably just Becca’s Arie trauma talking.
There’s no rose ceremony this week; instead, three guys get one-on-ones and the remaining three go on a group date. The stakes are high: It’s the moment everyone is expected to tell Becca whatever she may need to know about a contestant or their family before they take that next step. For Colton, that means telling Becca that he’s a virgin. “I’m not waiting for marriage,” Colton tells her, “I’m waiting for the right heart.” The other guys in the house and Colton treat this revelation as if it could be a dealbreaker, and though Becca is surprised to hear this from the man with whom she has “so much chemistry and passion,” it’s definitely not a dealbreaker for her.
“I would never judge you for that,” she tells him, after they spend the day diving for conch, which their guide describes as Bahamian Viagra. Colton gets a rose.
The second one-on-one goes to Garrett, with whom Becca also has strong chemistry. “He has such a sexy, playful side to him,” Becca says. “I love the way he makes me feel and I feel pulled toward him.” They ride in a seaplane and at dinner talk a bit more about Garrett’s first marriage, which Garrett said he hung onto too long, but assured Becca that she’d know if something wasn’t right with the two of them. Garrett tells Becca he’s falling in love with her and that he sees in her everything that he’s looking for in a wife. We’re still eagerly awaiting a serious discussion of whether their politics and values align. We’ll have to settle for someone…
