The Bachelor Season 20 Episode 6 Recap: Deep, Intellectual Things Are My Jam

On The Bachelor Season 20 Episode 6, Ben Higgins narrowed his field of contenders considerably, sending three ladies packing.

Was now-infamous villain Olivia Caridi one of them?

As always, if you wish to know who makes it to Ben’s final four and – and wins Ben’s final rose – peep The Bachelor spoilers here.

If you prefer to remain spoiler-free, or if you love spoilers but just want the brief 4-1-1 on another cringe-worthy episode, read on!

Picking up where last week left off, The Bachelor Season 20 Episode 6 saw Ben pull Olivia to the side before the rose ceremony began. 

Would this be the end for Olivia after the previous week’s cliffhanger? If you thought so, obviously you don’t watch The Bachelor online.

The editors are better than the action. Just saying.

Jennifer is sent home instead. Then it’s off to the Bahamas, where it’s twin Emily vs. Olivia for all the marbles … kinda. But first:

Ben takes Caila on a one on one, which leaves Leah (who is feeling so overlooked that we don’t even know who she is) crushed.

Despite considerable nonsense babbling on the part of Caila, she ends up with a rose. Ben says it was an awesome date … somehow.

The group date involved a collection of swimming pigs involved, Ben hitting it off with Lauren Bushnell, and Leah losing it once again.

Leah tries to sling mud at Lauren in the hopes that something will stick, but it comes off like she’s lying, trying much too hard, or both.

Probably both. Ben sends her to pack her bags ASAP.

Finally, the two-on-one date between Emily and Olivia begins, and man alive, there is a storm brewing. Of the weather variety. Literally.

Oh, the symbolism, Bachelor Nation. The symbolism.

You have to give props to nature and the producers for working together to create this kind of atmosphere for the high-stakes showdown.

In the end, it’s about the girls, though, and wow. WOW.

When Olivia tells Ben that “deep, intellectual things are my jam,” well, she’s reached Peak Olivia. But what can we surmise from that?

Ben knows what he has to do. Even though Emily had all but assumed defeat, Higgins took the rose and … sent Olivia home instead!

Emily got a rose and another 15 minutes of fame on ABC.

Olivia got left behind on the beach, where for all we know she’s still there or getting blown out to sea by a high pressure weather system.

Hurricane Olivia returns to her tropical roots, if you will.

One of our favorite subtleties is how the show always leaves the impression that the two-on-one date loser is literally left in the dust.

Wherever she ends up … she will be in the gallery above!

There was no cocktail party after that, and at the rose ceremony, Lauren Himle was sent home to complete Ben’s elimination trifecta. 

In previews for next week and beyond, Ben QUESTIONS EVERYTHING, is in love with two women, and brings back someone who left.

It’s gettin’ real, ladies and gentlemen. More real every day.

Still In This Thing: Lauren Bushnell (below), Becca Tilley, Emily Ferguson, Caila Quinn, Amanda Stanton and JoJo Fletcher.

Out: Olivia Caridi, Lauren Himle and Leah Block.

Coco Austin: I Will Keep Dressing Up My Baby! You Can Suck It!

Coco Austin has taken yet another stand against her critics.

The outspoken mother gave birth to her first child, a girl named Chanel, back in November.

She immediately set up an Instagram account for the tyke and has since shared numerous photos of little Chanel, typically dressed up in very attire not typically seen on a baby.

With critics coming at her left and right, Coco has already taken on her haters by insisting she takes care of her baby… and now she’s at it again.

Via a new blog entry for E!, Austin explains why her young child her her own social media account:

“It’s more for people who want to keep an eye on her while not overloading our pages with photos of her.”

The Ice & Coco co-host added that Chanel possess an incredible shoe collection and wardrobe, yet she is often under fire for referring to Chanel as  “real-life doll” and dressing her up in stylish outfits such as the one above.

“Of course I know she’s a real human being. Don’t you know I know that?” Austin wrote.

“Should I just dress her up in a normal T-shirt? Is that better?

“Why can’t I just have my moment of dressing my daughter up? Why is that such a negative thing? Does she look like she’s really mad in these pictures? She actually looks very happy dressed up.”

Coco, who manages to waist train AND care for her baby, was also shamed for bragging about her mere 13-pound weight gain while pregnant.

“I’m damned if I do, damned if I don’t,” she blogged here. “No matter what I post on Chanel, people are going to find something negative about it. It amazes me.”

In the end, Coco does make a pretty good point:

“If you’re really not liking the way I do things, get off my page.”

It’s true.

While we also find it a big strange to publicize photos of your child in this kind of manner… whatever, right?

No one is forcing anyone to look at these photos and if the girl is happy and healthy, isn’t that all that matters?

Teen Mom O.G. Recap: I Am Gonna Beat Ryan"s Ass!

Monday night on Teen Mom: OG, Farrah Abraham returned from her “business” trip and shared a life changing decision with her parents.

Meanwhile, Maci Bookout and Ryan Edwards tried to celebrate Halloween as a family, while Catelynn and Tyler embarked on a honeymoon!

We begin with the life and times of Sophia Abraham, 7.

“My baby decided she was gonna wear a little bit of makeup to school one day,” Sophia’s grandma, Debra Danielsen, told Farrah Abraham.

“So then she came home and told me, ‘Grandma, there was a little situation at school on the makeup and people saying some things."”

Naturally, Debbo called the principal to drop some KNOWLEDGE and explain that they are simply “in a different situation in our lives.”

In short, “this is the way we roll.” Can’t make this up.

Lovebirds Catelynn and Tyler Baltierra meanwhile, went on their honeymoon in Hawaii, where you would think anxiety would be a non-factor.

Not for Cate. She is battling this harder than ever.

“I was the happiest child, kid, teenager for years. And out of nowhere, it just like smacked me in my face,” Lowell confessed to the cameras.

“It’s like, why on earth do I have to get this? It’s annoying.”

Fortunately, Cate was able to have a good time in Hawaii, while back in Indiana, there was plenty of anxiety of a different sort to cope with.

“It’s been horrible,” Amber told producers of reports that Matt Baier has seven kids, as revealed by Gary Shirley on last week’s episode.

“All seven of the kids aren’t his,” Amber says of that rumor, “but I think a couple might be because of the way that he was in his past.”

So instead of seven … two? Four? Five? Who’s to say!

Amber said that everyone makes mistakes and she’s ready to forgive her man, though she does worry about some of the fallout here:

“[We’ll] figure it out, but I don’t want him to look crazy on TV.”

Pretty sure we are long, long past that point Ambs.

Matt’s take on this, in his own words? That was then, this is now, and Gary sucks: “The difference between me and Gary is very simple.”

“Things that happened in my life happened 25 years ago, and they were all drug-induced,” he said. “He’s just a bad person, currently.”

Ouch. To everyone’s credit, they got along fine at Leah’s birthday party, with Matt openly praising Gary … or at least his kitchen renovation.

Modern families and co-parenting were also the theme down in Tennessee, where Ryan Edwards once again came up short. Woefully.

“I’m gonna beat Ryan’s ass,” Maci Bookout said after he bailed on trick or treating at the start of Teen Mom Season 12 Episode 7.

“Can I say that on TV? Where in the hell is he?”

Maci ended up complaining more to boyfriend Taylor McKinney, but Ryan (obviously) didn’t seem to think he’d done anything wrong.

“I had to get ready,” he said, clearly pleased with his full skeleton costume. “I got shafted again. Was Maci and them in a hurry to leave?”

“Do you like my costume? Anybody? Why didn’t you wait on me, Bentley? You didn’t wanna wait on me to go trick or treatin’?”

Words fail us here, as they often do with Edwards.

We’re guessing Maci had plenty more off camera.

Rudy Giuliani Slams Beyonce Halftime Show: Find Out Why!

Rudy Giuliani will not be bowing down to Queen Bey any time soon.

Pretty much the opposite, in fact.

Rudy Giuliani Bashes Beyonce

The Former New York City Mayor and Republican candidate for President appeared on Fox & Friends yesterday and explained what issues he took with Beyonce’s Super Bowl 50 halftime show, which was widely praised by most viewers.

“I thought it was really outrageous that she used it as a platform to attack police officers, the people who protect her and protect us and keep us alive,” Giuliani said on Monday.

The superstar debuted the new single Formation over the weekend, releasing its music video on Saturday, which contains references to Hurricane Katrina and the Black Lives Matter movement.

Her routine at the Super Bowl in Santa Clara included a squad of backup dancers who were dressed in what most interpreted as a nod to the Black Panthers.

Giuliani said this anti-police message missed a very important mark:

“What we should be doing in the African American community, and all communities, is build up respect for police officers and focus on the fact that when something does go wrong, OK, we’ll work on that.

“But the vast majority of police officers risk their lives to keep us safe.”

We don’t think there’s a single person on the planet disputing that statement.

With multiple acts of violence committed by police officers against African-Americans of late, however, many people would like to know: OK, WHAT are we doing to work on that?

Giuliani wondered overall why we even have halftime acts (“This is football, not Hollywood,” he said), but added that if the NFL insists on doing so down the line that the league ought to choose more “wholesome” acts.

“Just figure out who you’re putting on,” he said, concluding of Beyonce:

“This is a political position, she’s probably going to take advantage of it. You’re talking to middle America when you have the Super Bowl, so if you can have entertainment, let’s have decent wholesome entertainment and not use it as a platform to attack the people who put their lives at risk to save us.”

Do you agree with Giuliani?
