“The Bachelor” Week 7 Recap: Under Pressure

There is a lot of pressure this week with home towns coming up. There is also a ton of added pressure because this week there will be three one-on-one dates and one group date. Whoever doesn’t get a rose on the dates will be going home because there is also no rose ceremony! Shit just got real! Keep reading to see what I’m talking about.

Under The Tuscan Sun

Dates this week are taking place in Tuscany, Italy and Becca K. is lucky number one. Becca hasn’t had a date since the first week so she and Arie really have to figure out if the chemistry is still there. She lets Arie know that she’s falling for him and can see a future with him and I guess he’s feeling it too because he gives her the rose. Becca is going to home towns!

Having Doubts

Jacqueline is totally bugging and decides she has to talk to Arie. She goes to his room to talk and it’s clear she’s emotional. The best part of all of this was her chugging Arie’s wine mid dramatic speech. She says her feelings about Arie don’t justify taking him to meet her family, I think she’s leaving but it’s hard to tell because she keeps stopping to make out with Arie. He is actually really upset that she’s dumping herself and tries talking her out of it but she’s convinced. I don’t really understand why they’re both so emotional. I mean, they’ve spent like five minutes together. Anyway, she ends up dramatically leaving and Arie says he’ll miss her and if she ever changes her mind she can come back.

Taking Down Walls

Lauren gets the second one-on-one date this week. Yeah, she did just recently get a one-on-one but I guess Arie was having a hard time reading her, which makes sense because she hardly said two words on their date. Surprise surprise, she starts off the date by being shy and quiet again! Wake up girl! You could be introducing your future fiancé to your family next week! She tries to open up to Arie and ends up telling him she’s falling in love with him! He makes a face that honestly looks like he just sharted himself and steps away from the table. She immediately regrets opening up. I was so confused watching this. He wanted her to open up and then as soon as she did, he didn’t like it? WTF Arie. He comes back to the table and I was honestly ready for an “I’m just not feeling it” speech but he just says that he is simply feeling things he hasn’t felt in a long time. Arie says. “I’m falling so deeply in love with you, it’s crazy.” Holy cow! I was not expecting him to drop the “love bomb” this early on. What is happening?!

Sorting Out Feelings

Seinne got the last one-on-one in Italy. Arie says he’s “digged” Seinne for a while but he wants to see if their relationship can go deeper than that. He asks her if she’s ready to take the next step and go to home towns and she says she needed today to figure that all out. We all sense something off about this date, including Seinne. She tells Arie she doesn’t want this to be the end of their relationship but he’s struggling to see the connection from their previous dates. He doesn’t end up giving Seinne the rose and she looks devastated. She tells him that she’s surprised and she was caught off guard.

Three’s A Crowd

Bekah M, Tia, and Kendall had the fortune of being on the group date this week. Arie’s conversation with Kendall went great. I honestly think they’d make a good match. Tia’s conversation with Arie was less promising. She uses her time to warn Arie about Bekah. She basically warns Arie that Bekah isn’t ready for marriage. This really negatively affected my opinion of Tia. Is her self-esteem so low that she has to knock down another woman? It just felt sneaky and mean. Tia lets Bekah know what she told Arie and Bekah gets really upset and starts crying. I immediately feel really bad for her. That was such a bully move on Tia’s part. When Bekah talks to Arie she speaks her peace and he makes her feel better. Kendall ends up getting the first rose.

Bye Bye Baby

Now it’s basically a two-on-one with Tia and Bekah. Tia reassures Arie that she’s falling in love with him. Arie still has fears with Bekah but she asks him to have faith. Bekah tells Arie she’s falling for him, but he ends up giving the rose to Tia. Wow, that could’ve gone either way. Bekah’s devastated.
