The Bachelorette Recap: How (Fantasy) Suite It Is ... Mostly
Three men. Two roses. The Bachelorette journey of Rachel Lindsay has nearly reached its end. Which men would continue with her on it?
The Bachelorette spoilers revealed this ages ago, but now it’s time to see if the predictions prove correct, or if we’re in for an epic twist.
Peter Kraus, Eric Bigger and Bryan Abasolo are the last men standing on ABC, as Bachelorette spoilers suggested all season long.
But what next? How did the penultimate episode play out?
On The Bachelorette Season 13 Episode 9, Rachel took the lucky trio home to Dallas – a step typically reserved for just the top two.
There, Peter reveals that he is indeed falling in love with her, and Rachel reciprocates that feeling, even as he’s holding back a little.
Rachel’s mom (her dad, a federal judge, is likely not filming for that very reason) asks more than enough questions for the both of them.
Both Peter and the Lindsays are questioning the admittedly bizarre notion that getting engaged in two months is normal, and it’s refreshing.
When Peter tells her mom that he’s not going to ask for her blessing to marry her because it’s not time yet, well … what can you say?
He doesn’t seem to like Rachel any less, he’s just not as swept up in this admittedly ridiculous dating process we’ve come to accept.
Eric Bigger, her next suitor, has not met a girlfriend’s family in seven years, and it shows in how nervous he is heading into this date.
Surprisingly, it was when he made himself truly vulnerable by talking about his past struggles and emotions that he really got comfortable.
Rachel’s mom does give Eric her blessing, even if it seems apparent that things with Bigger have not reached quite the same stage.
He’s honest and sincere, though, including when it comes to how slowly things have been building up and how apprehensive he still is.
Finally, Bryan Abasolo meets Rachel’s family, and the confidence that Peter believes is fake, arrogant swagger impresses them a lot.
Bryan tells them that he truly loves Rachel, but they give him the third degree anyway, at which point Rachel pushes back against them.
Can love really happen as fast as this show makes you think? Her family doubts it, even if that bothers her, and it’s surprisingly candid.
Abasolo, to his credit, strikes a good balance between the factions, showing his feelings toward Rachel without pushing it too assertively.
Then, having already met the family, all three men jet off to La Rioja, Spain, as the Fantasy Suite dates are next up in this year’s timeline.
Who will accept that coveted card?!
Eric is first up, and at the end of his date, finally manages to tell Rachel he loves her. She returns the favor, and the Fantasy Suite is on.
Peter is up next, and if there was any tension beneath the surface of their date in Dallas, it’s no longer beneath anything right now.
Oh no. This is all out in the open.
Peter’s proposal-anxiety is front and center as he says popping the question is basically an extension of marriage, and he’s getting there.
As in not there yet. Rachel cries, obviously not seeing this quite the same way, and we’re left hanging on a cliff until the finale in two weeks.
Will she make the right decision? Follow the link to watch The Bachelorette online to relive all the drama and hit the comments below.

Corinne Olympios Also Can"t Believe She Missed Out on The Bachelor Fantasy Suite Sex
As The Bachelor spoilers predicted months ago, the two biggest stars of this season didn’t even make it to next week’s season finale.
There’s Rachel Lindsay, the upcoming star of The Bachelorette. And Corinne Olympios, the most notorious competitor in show history.
Despite not even making it to the Fantasy Suite portion of Nick Viall’s journey for love, Corinne was the breakout star of the ’17 season.
She was all people talked about before, during and after her stint on the show, which came to an end three episodes ago at this point.
Her performance all winter, and her appearance on the Women Tell All where she was forced to defend it, proved this and then some.
The Florida native received plenty of backlash for allegedly being too, um, sex-focused, but she has a dual response to that criticism:
1. There’s a lot you didn’t see, and the show edited her in a way that makes her look like the biggest sex-crazed villain in reality TV history.
2. Who cares?! Is sex not part of relationships?!
“It was Nick’s birthday, actually, which no one really knew,” she says of one such incident, in which Nick licked whipped cream off of her chest.
“It looked a little more provocative than I meant it.”
Maybe so, but there was no dancing around certain things she said, such as proclaiming that her heart is gold, but her “vagine is platinum.”
What the hell is a platinum vagine anyway?!
“It’s just a really good one,” she tells ET.
“It’s very good looking. I’m lasered. It’s like, small and cute. There’s no weird things going on down there. I’ve seen some scary vaginas.”
“If you have a sterling silver vagine, that’s the worst!” Olympios told the network, fortunately not elaborating on the topic any further.
Olympios, 24, can always be counted on to speak her mind, and as such, says it’s “surprising” that their hometown date was her last.
“With all of our sexual attraction towards each other,” she says, being axed was shocking and “bad…what was he thinking?! He missed out!”
She says inside the Fantasy Suite, “anything could have happened,” though she’s not sure if she would’ve been The Bachelor winner.
Her reason for that? Surprisingly humble.
“There’s no telling because there were other relationships too, and the other girls are really great,” she said of the three who outlasted her.
“I did love Nick and cared a lot about him,” Olympios says, insisting that she appeared “more promiscuous” than she would have liked.
At the same time, Corinne says exploring sex with a partner is “healthy” and has no qualms about it being part of a relationship progression.
“If you were doing this off-camera and getting into a relationship, you would have sex,” she says, so why would this be all that different.
As for whether she thinks Rachel, Raven Gates and Vanessa Grimaldi made sweet love in the Fantasy Suite with the man of the hour?
“I’m pretty sure that they did. I think they need to! I don’t think you can really get engaged to somebody without having sex with them.”
Olympios says she isn’t just a sex fiend; Corinne had real, “emotional” conversations with Viall about “how we would do life together.”
Now, she does miss him as a friend as well.
“If he ever wants to talk or hang out, I’m always down for that,” she shares, adding that she’s not focused on dating anyone now.
Nor is Corinne Olympios engaged to Keith Berman.
“Right now I’m more focused on doing me,” she said, which doesn’t mean there hasn’t been interest expressed … A LOT of interest.
“No men for right now. Almost every email I get [after leaving the show] is, ‘So, can I take you out since Nick is done with you?"”

Bachelor in Paradise Season 3 Episode 10 Recap: How Suite It Is?
You don’t watch Bachelor in Paradise online thinking you’re going to watch a true love story unfold. Although it would be a nice bonus.
You’re watching to see the train wreck that unfolds week in and week out when a bunch of Bachelor and Bachelorette castoffs reunite.
That’s what keeps you coming back, along with epic falls from grace and tales of redemption, like ABC naming Nick Viall The Bachelor.
Seriously, who would’ve predicted that a month ago?!?
But we digress a bit.
On Monday night, Bachelor in Paradise did not take an evening off for Labor Day.
Instead, it got viewers all worked up by posing the following questions:
Would Ashley Iaconetti lose her virginity? Did Vinny Ventiera and Izzy Goodkind actually get back together?
And, of course, who stayed overnight in the Fantasy Suits?!?
We’ll start with Izzy.
She got dissed and dismissed by Brett at the last second, who chose Lauren instead. But Izzy didn’t just sit around and wallow in a pool of tears; she ran back to Vinny!
“I made a mistake. I made a huge mistake,” Izzy said through tears. “I love Vinny, and I didn’t give us that chance to fall in love … I’m in it to Vin it!”
Yes, she really said this.
And then Vin really said THIS on the phone to Izzy:
“Uhh, obviously what happened, it really just f-cking blindsided me. You wanted to throw it all away to some guy with a f–king lamp. It was pretty shallow.
“When that happened, the feelings I had just f-cking went out the window. I just can’t be with somebody like that. For me, there’s really just no coming back from what happened.”
So that’s that.
(And that was also that for Brett and Lauren after the former dumped the latter at the Rose Ceremony.)
Last week, meanwhile, Wells Adams was stuck in a love square with Ashley, Shushanna Mkrtychyan and Jami Letain.
This week, that shape got broken apart.
First, sent Jami packing during the Rose Ceremony. Then, he was totally rejected by Shush.
“I don’t want this. I don’t fight for guys,” she told Wells. “Hearing that all the other girls are, like, hunting. I just feel like I’m in the wrong place right now.”
Hey, at least she finally arrived at this decision, right?
Perhaps next time, she ought to read the description of a reality show before she signs on for it.
Then there’s Ashley. She’s a virgin, you know.
However, she was all excited to change this status with Wells and his “Joe Jonas mouth.”
Did she want to “sit on his c–k?”
“Yeah!” she replied, adding:
“If Wells doesn’t f-ck me tonight, I’m going to the convent because I’m dying alone.”
Oh boy. How does one make reservations at a convent?
Because Wells did not f-ck Ashley last night.
He said it was against his character to have sex after just two dates and he couldn’t handle the pressure, so he broke Ashley’s heart.
This means the final couples in Paradise were:
Nick Viall and Jen Saviano, Amanda Stanton and Josh Murray, Carly Waddell and Evan Bass, and Lace Morris and Grant Kemp.
“It does make me nervous that the last time I expressed any feelings to anyone was in an environment like this, but you’re the only reason I’m still here,” Nick told Jen, later telling the camera:
“I need to figure out if Jen and I have a real shot outside of Paradise. It’s a huge commitment.”
(Editor’s Note: It doesn’t work out. Nick is the next Bachelor. This is so hilarious and ridiculous.)
Still, Nick and Jen did end up in the Fantasy Suite, prompting Jen to say:
“Hopefully [the fantasy suite] gives us the push we need. And that I’ll wake up tomorrow having a much better idea of what direction we’re going.”
(Need we repeat the above Editor’s Note?)
As for Lace and Grant? They got matching “Grace” tattoos on their wrists because “life hurts a lot more than tattoos,” she explained.
That’s profound.
So were Lace’s words to Grant:
“You mean a lot to me, and I’m really happy, and it’s just crazy to think about how well we fit together. You have truly made me realize that you’re a man that’s hard to come by and I’m superlucky.
“You make me love myself and it’s because of you. And I want you to know I love you.”
But Evan and Carly would not be outdone in this department.
They attended a “sex canvas” painting session, led by a naked old lady with pendulous breasts, and then they had the following exchange:
Evan: “It’s more than just falling in love with you. I love you. So much.”
Carly: “I love you too. I’ve been wanting to say that to you for so long.”
Did they get it on in the Fantasy Suite? Let’s ask Carly:
“Tonight is the fantasy suite and you know when you love someone, you … how do I phrase that so my dad won’t have a heart attack?”
Yes, they did.
Finally, we get to Josh and Amanda.
The former said his mother is such a big part of his life that her having never met Amanda made him unsure if he could really commit.
But Amanda is all in. She’s totally down with being a “soccer mom.”
“If he doesn’t propose, I would be disappointed,” she confided to the camera.
We’ll find out what happens on tonight’s season finale!!!!!

The Bachelorette Recap: Dear Mr. Fantasy Suite ...
Who was sent home … at the beginning, and the end of last night’s show? Were The Bachelorette spoilers on point, or was there a major twist?
These were the questions on The Bachelorette Season 12 Episode 9, which picked up in the wake of last week’s rose ceremony cliffhanger.
A cliffhanger that was indeed a heartbreaker for one suitor.
Despite Luke Pell’s last ditch effort to proclaim his love for JoJo Fletcher and keep his run on the ABC show alive, he was sent home.
“I started to struggle not knowing where you stood,” JoJo told Luke, who would bawl in the limo. “I just can’t believe I squandered it away.”
“I had no idea that I wasn’t saying enough.”
“I feel like a person that’s been hit by a train,” he added. “I thought we had a future together. I woulda been ready to propose to her today.”
Laying it on a little thick, don’t you think, Luke?
Don’t get us wrong, we thought Chase McNary would be shown the door before Pell. Would Chase stand a prayer against the top two?
We say the top two because Jordan Rodgers and Robby Hayes were the clear favorites to earn Fantasy Suite cards and a trip to the finale.
That’s exactly what happened in beautiful Thailand.
Just about the only thing that could keep Jordan and JoJo off of each other was the fact that kissing wasn’t allowed in an ancient temple.
They didn’t stay there for long, we’re guessing.
Still, despite their chemistry and connection, JoJo can’t help but wonder if there’s something about Aaron Rodgers’ brother she’s missing.
“I want to trust him, but if I trust him it scares me a lot to feel like I could possibly have my heart broken,” Fletcher said of her #1 suitor.
“I’m hoping at some point all those fears go away.”
Don’t hold your breath, from what we’re hearing.
He says all the appropriate things, though, which is part of the issue with this guy. So smooth. Probably said this to Brittany Farrar too:
“In the past month, ever since I told you I love you, when I think about that wedding day, when I think about getting on a knee, it’s with you.”
Robby Hayes would not be happy to see this.
He was confident that he and JoJo would end up together, even though he and Hope Higginbotham broke up about 45 seconds before this season.
We kid … and yet not. Rumors of Robby Hayes cheating would be a huge story this season if Jordan Rodgers’ past weren’t even shadier.
Yet Hayes, like Rodgers, says all the right stuff:
“I want you to know that I’m not like the guys in your past. I’m not gonna say those three important words and then cop out early and walk away.”
JoJo’s take? “There’s a way that he looks at me that makes me just know that what he’s saying is true, and I trust him, and I believe him.”
Bottom line? Chase had no shot at moving on.
Even though he told JoJo he was “100% in love” with her, she knew what she had to do and tried to let him down as easily as she could.
It didn’t go well.
“Now, I’m shattered,” he said. “So now love equals gets the f–k out? That was so f–k terrifying for me to say, and now look at where I end up.”
Fortunately, after being sent home, he surprised Fletcher at the rose ceremony – not to beg for another shot, but to smooth things over.
Actually a nice gesture from a good guy. One who just didn’t have the same connection with her as Jordan Rodgers and Robby Hayes.
So among those final two men, who do you think will prevail and claim the final rose, and will JoJo regret it within a week or even less?

Ben Higgins: GRILLED About Fantasy Suite by Lauren Bushnell"s Brother!
On Easter weekend, the newest Bachelor couple Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell traveled to Denver to spend the holiday with his family.
This past week, the two hung out in Portland, Oregon to spend some time with Lauren’s fam, and it looks like it may have been off to an awkward start.
In a photo posted to Instagram, Lauren’s younger brother Brett announced that he had a pressing question for his future brother-in-law, right off the bat.
“I asked him the fantasy suite question just to start the brotherhood,” he wrote.
Not awkward at all.
On the show, Ben chose to spend the night in the fantasy suite with the three ladies who remained in the competition, which included Lauren, JoJo Fletcher and Caila Quinn.
What happened behind those doors the cameras couldn’t reveal, but it’s safe to assume they weren’t engaged in a rousing game of Parcheesi.
In fairness, Brett was likely just giving Ben the business, because last month he tweeted, “Couldn’t be happier to have @benhiggi as my new older brother.”
Earlier this month, reports claimed that Ben and Lauren were experiencing “extreme tension” in their relationship, namely because she was distraught after seeing her fiance tell JoJo he loved her on the show.
“Lauren tries not to think about it,” a source told Life & Style. “But she’s traumatized that Ben told another girl he loved her.”
If that’s true, they’re not letting the discord show in their Instagram posts. But then again, who does?
