#bachelor s1 weekly

Weekly Recap | July 15th-21st 2024

I have a week off of work, woohoo! This week I mostly read all of my favourite WIPs that updated multiple times, thank you all for keeping me well fed 😎

Complete

is there some place where we can go right now? (i don't think that it can wait) by sibylsleaves/ @sibylsleaves (Established Buddie, Bar Sex, PWP | 2K | Explicit): Buck, Eddie, and the inside of a bar bathroom

you call me pretty little thing by sibylsleaves/ @sibylsleaves (Established Buddie, Panty Kink, PWP | Explicit): “Buck,” Eddie breathes after a moment. “Are you wearing—?” Buck nips at Eddie’s slack mouth and says coyly, “Why don’t you see for yourself?” Eddie, it seems, doesn’t need to be told twice. He shoves Buck off his lap, tearing his sweatpants down his hips to reveal the tiny, pink lace panties Buck has on beneath them.

looking for something dumb to do by sibylsleaves/ @sibylsleaves (Buddie Wedding, PWP | 4K | Explicit): It’s also not unusual that the app bay is almost empty when they walk inside, save for one engine parked along the side. What is unusual is the rows of white folding chairs facing the back wall. And the archway adorned with greenery and pale pink blossoms set up beneath the loft. And all of their friends milling about the app bay, dressed up like… Like they’re attending a wedding.

Hell or High Water by glorious_spoon/ @glorious-spoon (4x04: What's Your Grievance, PWP, First Time | 5K | Explicit): That’s Buck’s cue to put a stop to this before it crosses a line they can’t come back from. Before he says something or does something that means Eddie will never touch him or smile at him or let him into his home again. Buck breaks things; that’s what he does. And he’s tried so hard not to break this.

🔥 my man says he loves me (never says he loves me not) by colonoscopys/ @colonoscopys (Post-S7, Identity Porn | 9K | General): It’s the summer after Eddie blows his life up that he realizes he kinda wants to do it again.  He’s looking at the TV, watching some shitty, fuzzy screen show that Buck favored on his last shift, and letting sleep kinda wash in and wash out. There’s an ad after a while. “Are you struggling with being in love with your best friend too?” The man asks. “You should sign up for inlovewithmybestfriendandgoingtodie.com. A support group dedicated to people in love with their best friend, inlovewithmybestfriendandgoingtodie.com is a great way to learn how to cope and survive when you’re in love with someone you’ll never have!” Eddie gapes at the screen. 

WIP

🔥 Held Up a Lightning Rod (Wonder Why I'm Struck) by letmetellyouaboutmyfeels/ @letmetellyouaboutmyfeels (Not A Firefighter Eddie, Sugar Baby Buck | 17/22 | 88K | Explicit): When Eddie Diaz stumbles his way into money, he finds himself one of the most eligible bachelors in Los Angeles - to his dismay. He needs a way to get people off his back without confessing his messy marital situation, and Shannon's still not answering his calls, so he caves to a friend's suggestion: hire someone to pretend to be his partner. Enter Evan "Buck" Buckley: sugar baby, fire fighter, and the man about to turn Eddie's world upside down.

🔥 Long Death by Daisies_and_Briars/ @cal-daisies-and-briars (Post-S7, Vampire AU | 8/12 | 33K | Explicit): In the summer of 2024, a never before seen form of vampirism breaks out in Los Angeles. Just as Eddie is about to get his son back. Six months later, Buck's life is permanently changed.

drift past the flowers. by dylaesthetics (Post-S6, (Un)requited Love | 6/12 | 18K | Teen): OR Buck and Natalia get engaged, and Eddie flees the state about it. A petty email correspondence ensues.

🔥loves a game, wanna play? by 42hrb/ @exhuastedpigeon (Post-S7, Love Island AU | 6/13 | 26K | Mature): In the aftermath of Chris leaving for the summer, Buck convinces Eddie they should apply for Love Island together.

🔥 Things We're All Too Young to Know by Daisies_and_Briars/ @cal-daisies-and-briars (Canon S1-S6, Divergent Post-S6 | 131/? | 413K | Mature): This is a love story. Even if it doesn’t always look like it. Even if it doesn’t always feel like it. A look back on Eddie and Buck's lives up to now, and what led them to each other, interpreted from the current 9-1-1 canon.

🔥 If You Can Make the Music by Daisies_and_Briars/ @cal-daisies-and-briars (Canon Divergent, | 4/5 | 11K | Mature): Spin-off Sequel to Evan Buckley & the Coma-Verse of Madness - Chapter 5 (Seaside): A year after a whirlwind two week love affair with bartender Buck in Galveston, Texas, Eddie Diaz finds himself coincidentally relocating to the area. But when he attempts to reconnect with Buck, he's in for an unfortunate surprise. (Part 3 of Coma-Verse)

🌹 Congratulations to Johanna for winning Season 1🌹

Previously on the finale of... 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓑𝓪𝓬𝓱𝓮𝓵𝓸𝓻

After a long season full of love, Devonte had an incredibly difficult decision to make between Delphine and Johanna. Both had a special place in his heart but it was time to decide who would be his wife. He had a lovely date alone with both of them, truly not knowing who to chose. As he sat alone and thought about things, he realized that while he did love them both, there was one girl who had never left his mind since the moment he laid eyes on her. Though he loved them both he knew there was one girl his heart was telling him to propose to, and perhaps it had been since the start. 

With a somber goodbye to Delphine, who seemed sad but still strong, he finally professed his love for Johanna, getting down on one knee and proposing to her.

~

With Johanna getting the win, there is just their wedding to attend to before we wrap up the first season of The Bachelor!

Thank you all for watching along and Season 2 is not far behind...

I Blame Seventeen for My Essay

First things I'm sorry for my bad English grammar.

I just wonder if in few a month ago I'm not watched ISAC again, can I still “slip into diamond life” like now? I mean really into it. Because before I watched it for the second time I just notice seventeen like a group with many members, had easy listening and cheerful songs, had a foreign member. I don't know too much about seventeen before, until they comeback for the last time with "Don't wanna cry". My first impression with the song was "they really have a good music", the MV and the choreo it's so dope, but just one thing I notice for the comeback last time was they changed from happy teenage to a little bit "sad/ mature" but still in beat song. But overall I really like it. I was still not into it, just enjoy their music, but after watched ISAC for the second time and it changed me. I thought 3 or 4 weeks after they release DWC *I guess (?), I watched ISAC again and I saw them really had good in sport. The first member I notice was Seungcheol because he had different stage name with the others and then Vernon, jun and woozy (the little guy), and a few days later I watched their last stage in music bank and trying to remember their name but I can't, so I really curious and find out about them and realize I really like them all. So I can say that was " I slipped into diamond life" until now.

On the other hand, the reason why I watched ISAC again in June because I didn't know what to do, I was really stressed with my essay. I felt that I can't do this anymore and it felt like I lost, I didn't know my goal is. So, that way I needed entertain for a moment but after that I really obsessed with SVT (my inner fan girl) and felt bad because almost every day I just find out about them, watched their reality show (17 projects, one fine day s1 & 2, weekly idol, etc), watched their performances and many more. Until I realize I was in a very comfort zone, I didn't think my essay at all (one a half month I guess) and I felt guilty about my responsibility should be. I blame SVT for a while (hehe) and try to think positive after seeing their struggle, I realized I was nothing compared to them. Starting from that I made SVT as motivation, inspiration, encouragement and also happiness when I feel down. They can make me forget the stress for a moment and I'm very grateful for that.

Around a month ago I started to my essay from the beginning. Until today (6th Nov) I can say my essay 45% - 50% finish and I proud of it. My goal on December I can finish my Bachelor's degree. So, back to my first question what if I didn't watch ISAC for the second time? Maybe I never knew seventeen as one of the best boy group, I never knew all their names and their struggle, I never feet so happy just see Seungcheol photo/video, or maybe ... I'm still lost and I don't know what my real goal is. I really don't know what happens to me if I didn't watch ISAC and I'm glad I can do that.

So, the conclusion is I just wanna thank you for Seventeen. You all not just idol for me but also my reason, my motivation, my inspiration and my happiness. Thank you for lead me finding my goals, lead me out from hard times. I know,  I haven't finished my essay and there are still hard times it will come again to me but when I get past this I will also get through it. I think your comeback this time is very meaningful to me especially (of course the other Carats too). I hope you guys can be more successful in this comeback and can be a reason, motivation, inspiration, and happiness for other Carats as well. My greatest hope I can graduate soon, and realize another dream with one of them is can meet you all in a great concert.

Thank you to everyone who read my story I also share this in my personal twitter account

Snapchat's first original show is about exes meeting up and is called 'Second Chance' (SNAP)

Snapchat has commissioned its first original series from A+E Networks

Second Chance will land in April and reunite exes

Original content will boost Snapchat's ad proposition before IPO

Snapchat's parent company, Snap, is making an original, unscripted series for its platform called "Second Chance", in partnership with US media company A+E Networks.

The series will be made by A+E Networks' in-house agency, 45th & Dean, and will follow exes who have got together to discuss the end of their relationship.

The show will launch in April and will sit among existing Snapchat Shows, including The Bachelor and The Voice.

Here's how Snap and 45th & Dean describe the concept:

45th & Dean’s first Show, Second Chance, brings emotional exes face to face to explore the breaking point in their relationship for the first time. In this sincere setting, couples seeking closure will also discover heartfelt opportunities for reconciliation. The series will feature eight weekly episodes, available for Snapchatters in the US, UK, Canada and Australia.

Snap is billing this as its first original Snapchat Show, a new tier of content introduced late last year. Snapchat Shows look more like TV episodes and stand separate from Discover, produced by third-party partners, and Stories, produced by users. Snapchat Shows also don't disappear after 24 hours, unlike other Snapchat content.

That said, Snapchat has had a shot at producing truly original content before. Comedy Central hosts an original 10-second feature called "Swag-a-saurus" on Discover, and the company produced an original series called "Literally Can't Even" in 2015.

Snapchat also has original content partnerships with ABC, NBC, E!, ESPN and, soon, the BBC, but all of these are based on existing programmes. For example, Jimmy Fallon has an offshoot of "Tonight with Jimmy Fallon" on Snapchat, simply called "Fallon". And the BBC will bring exclusive cuts from "Planet Earth II" to Snapchat from February 17.

Snapchat's vice president of content, Nick Bell, described the show as "raw and relatable".


"A+E’s investment in mobile storytelling is exactly what Snapchat Shows are all about: The ability to create premium and wholly original content for a mobile-first audience from some of the best storytellers in the world," he said.

Snap appears to be shoring its business up after filing for its IPO last week.

Advertising and media sources told Business Insider part of what keeps them spending money on the platform is the fact it's the hot new thing. Snap is also seeking huge commitments ranging between $100 million and $200 million (£80 million to £160 million) from media buyers. That means keeping the platform fresh, and actually offering advertisers compelling, engaging content to advertise against. In its S1 filing, Snapchat claimed its ads were better than TV advertising.

Snap says it will be adding new content partners "soon," and is working on more new shows with NBC, Turner, and ABC.

Previously on... 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓑𝓪𝓬𝓱𝓮𝓵𝓸𝓻

Only the Top 3 remained as Devonte took the girls to Salvadorado for fantasy suite dates to test each of their connections one more time before deciding on who would become the final 2. ~

The first date went to Johanna, who received the most votes in the favorites poll, earning her 3 directed interactions. They went out to a museum to take in some local art and artifacts. Smitten as usual the couple spent a good deal of time standing outside, lost in each other's gaze, before Johanna beat Devonte to the punch, asking him to be her boyfriend. Eventually they spent some time looking at the art before having a candlelit dinner outside, sharing a few sweet moments between one another before heading back to the fantasy suite. They relaxed in the hot tub for a little bit before promptly going to bed, tired from a long day and just enjoying being able to cuddle up to one another for the first time. The next morning they got up to some WooHooing before Johanna left, ending a wonderful date all around.

~

The next date belonged to Delphine, who only received 1 vote in the favorites poll this week. He took her to a park to explore a bit of the jungle they were nestled in. This time Devonte was the one to not waste any time, quickly asking Delphine to be his girlfriend. They spent some time slow dancing and holding each other close, talking the day away before exploring the great outdoors a little more. As the sun began to set, Devonte grilled some dinner for them to have a picnic under the stars. Though they did not converse a ton over the meal, they left off with some stargazing before heading back to the fantasy suite. This time Delphine wasted no time getting to some hanky panky with Devonte just inside the door, the two heading to sleep straight after. We couldn't help but notice that Johanna was still on his mind in the morning though, even though the two had a lovely time and shared one more kiss goodbye as Delphine headed off.

~

Lastly Haylee got a date of course, her also receiving 1 vote in the favorite's poll. Devonte took her out to a local bar for some drinks and dancing and experiencing the local culture. The two chatted for a bit outside before quickly heading indoors to literally save Haylee's hide. They decided to dance together some, having a fun time until Devonte's flirty charm snuck up again and he made a quick pass at a local. Haylee was far from happy about this storming off to the other room. Devonte followed trying to do damage control but Haylee was having none of it. Going into the dinner with an icy vibe, the two made small talk most of the time. By the end of the meal Haylee seemed to calm down and they got a  bit more flirty as they discussed the situation a bit more. Devonte finally asked her to be his girlfriend and lead to her to the fantasy suite where Haylee promptly took him to the hot tub to WooHoo. As Devonte slept, Haylee stayed up most of the night really contemplating her feelings and the happenings of the night. They shared one more sweet kiss and reassurances in the morning, Haylee clearly deciding she was still on board as she went back to her room, awaiting her fate that night.

~

Devonte then had the rest of the day to sit with his feelings, look deep inside himself and reflect on the passed three days, as that night he would have to make the most difficult decision thus far, knowing he must break the heart of one of the ladies he had grown to care about so much in order to decide on the final two...

~

At last it was time for the newly corpse free rose ceremony. Each of the ladies trickled in, more nervous than ever as emotions had grown incredibly strong at this point, and Devonte was clearly distraught having to make this decision, but after much introspection, he knew what must be done. The first rose went to Johanna. For a long time Johanna had been at the forefront of his mind and they had more than made up for their recent rough patch. After a splendid day together and a wonderful night where they did a good amount of enjoying each other's bodies and each other's companies, Devonte was more secure than ever that they had something special together. Thus Delphine and Haylee were left. Delphine had found herself in the bottom 2 for the third week in a row. They had a beautiful date together, sharing a passionate night and countless romantic moments between the two. But was the passion as strong with her as it was with the other ladies? And was the freakier side of Delphine that Devonte seemed to bring out a good thing? Or releasing a side of her she would rather keep tucked away? Haylee on the other hand had ridden the middle for a long time before ending last week as the front runner, her bond to Devonte growing stronger each week. Less picturesque, Haylee's date involved some trouble in paradise. But was that fight enough to call it quits? Or was it what Devonte needed to realize just how strongly he cared for her? Devonte knew he loved them both a great deal, but deep down he knew that only one lady he could feel himself falling in love with... and that was Delphine, who received the final rose of the night. Unfortunately the disconnect with Haylee during their date proved that their bond wasn't as comfortable and soothing as the other two and that his eyes just weren't for her alone when they were together. With a heavy heart, he walked her out and sent our little vampire home.

~

And now we are left with only 2. After weeks of drama and passion, only Delphine and Johanna remain.

With 4 girls left in the running Devonte travelled to their home towns to see where they're from and meet their families before deciding which one he couldn't see himself being a part of. ~

First Devonte was headed off to Madison, Wisconsin to spend some time with Tuesday and her family. During the afternoon Tuesday took him to her favorite local hangout, a witchy themed bar and magic shop where she often gets supplies to practice her herbalism. Her witch genealogy rarely coming up she was excited to talk about it more with Devonte. They spent some time playing foosball together before relaxing in the under ground springs as Tuesday debriefed him on her family. Then it was time to head home where Devonte and Tuesday prepared a lovely dinner for her family. First he spoke with her father Callum, the two having a lovely chat before her mother Caitlin entered the room. As is Devonte's style, he made a light pass at her mom to break the ice which did not go over very well with anyone in the room leaving them to a brief, awkward conversation before he went to spend some time with her siblings. Tuesday's younger teen sister Selena is like Tuesday's prodigy, the two being very close, so Devonte knew her opinion would be the most important. They had a long chat in the living room where they hit it off well, Selena really taking a liking to Devonte, before Tuesday's younger brother Finley finally came downstairs to join the conversation. They had a brief but good conversation as Devonte realized just how close in age he was to Tuesday's younger brother, wondering if that was strange for Tuesday despite it never coming up. After one last group convo with the whole family, he and Tuesday had a moment alone outside before he had to leave. Tuesday stayed out of the family affair most of the time, but she seemed impressed with how Devonte handled it and pleased overall with how the night had gone, the two even sharing an intimate cuddle before Devonte had to leave.

~

Next our bachelor was headed to Plano, Texas to meet with Haylee and her family. Haylee took Devonte on a date to her favorite bookstore and hangout space where she did her vampire lore research and wrote her books, wanting to share this special place with him. Throughout the date the two seemed to be getting flirtier with each other than they really had in the past, clearly enjoying each other's company. Back at the house it was time for Devonte to meet with Haylee's family. He headed upstairs to speak with her father Alan. Coming from a prestigious line of vampires, Alan being the current head of the clan, it was vital to make a good impression with him. Devonte knew Haylee looks up to her father a great deal, and intimidating as he is, Devonte sat down with him to have a lovely little chat, her mother Winifred joining half way through. Not learning from yesterday, Devonte tried to break the ice with a small flirt towards Haylee's mom as well, that she was very charmed by but definitely pissed off Alan. Noticing the tension Devonte quickly fled to the kitchen to meet with Haylee's eldest brother Ivan, whom she had a decent relationship with, but not very close due to their age difference. The two got on great, Devonte realizing they had a lot in common and actually being pretty good friends with Ivan before going to speak with Dajvah, the middle child. Haylee had warned Devonte that Dajvah's deep jealousy of her bond with their father, him wanting to become the next leader of their clan. Despite Haylee not caring too much about his opinion, Devonte still tried to talk with him, which quickly devolved into an argument. Tensions were brewing in the other room too as Alan told Haylee about the pass Devonte made at Winifred, and that he had reservations about Devonte. It turned into a massive argument, Haylee distraught her father did not like the man she was falling for. taking Devonte outside to WooHoo in the garden to let off some steam before he had to leave.

~

Up next was a trip to Birmingham, Alabama to meet with Johanna's family. The two headed to the lounge Johanna spent her nights performing at for a date, both happy to be back with each other. They spent a long while chatting and flirting before Johanna showed off her violin skills, serenading Devonte. Johanna has a large family with a lot of complicated dynamics so Devonte was nervous to navigate it all, especially since it had been a long time since Johanna spent time with her siblings and was clearly nervous as well. First he spoke with her younger brother Dayton, who sees Johanna as a troublemaker and was not fond of her. This time Johanna's mom Francine actually made a pass at Devonte, him awkwardly rejecting it before talking with Johanna's kid sister Madeleine, who really dislikes Johanna and resents her for getting most of their parents' attention. Devonte actually got along with her and tried to help mend the sisters' relationship with each other. He had a good conversation with her father Noah, before joining Johanna and her brother Dayton on the porch. Knowing Dayton was really close to Johanna and that his opinion would be vital he made sure to make a good impression. He did a good job making sure Johanna was alright as her final brother Montel who disliked her briskly joined the conversation. At the end of the night Madeleine actually joined the conversation, having a sweet moment with her sister for the first time in years, making it known that Devonte urged her to do so. The way our bachelor handled everything really meant a lot to Johanna and they shared a few sweet moments out by the pool, Johanna expressing her gratitude for him and how much she cared before he had to head out to his last destination.

~

Lastly Devonte landed in Orlando, Florida for a meetup with Delphine and her family. Delphine took him on a date to the dog park where she trains animals on the side. They seemed pretty smitten with each other chatting away and spending time with all the dogs that showed up. It really warmed Delphine's heart to see him interacting with the animals. She told him over a game of chess that she was nervous for the family meeting as there was some lingering tension she was worried about. Delphine opened up about how she had a bit of a wild streak back in high school, getting a little rebellious, getting a tattoo, staying out late, and making out with a lot of guys, including a boy that her sister had a crush on. Her sister Kristen being very prim and proper was highly against this behavior and even though it had been years, still held a grudge against Delphine for it all and the fact that their parents were so forgiving towards her. At the home Devonte had a brief but nice chat with her mom Isabelle before biting the bullet and talking to said sister. Kristen finally seeing an opportunity to get back at her sister tried to get Devonte into bed, but Delphine noticed her sister's efforts from afar and decided to confront her. Devonte went to have a small chat with her father Cleavant, leaving the ladies to discuss things. Hearing the shouting from the other room Devonte quickly rushed back to the argument where Kristen tried to make another pass at him right in front of her sister this time. He tried to smooth things over but it was too late as the sisters got into a massive physical altercation. Delphine angrily took Devonte outside after knocking her sister out to try and calm down. She was grateful Devonte was there and they had a long talk about how she felt good to finally stand up to her sister, ending the night on a good bonding moment for the two.

~

Finally it was time for the rose ceremony where one lady would be sent home, giving us the final 3. The first rose went to Haylee, their bond incredibly strong after her tumultuous hometown, Devonte really seeing her commitment to him after she stood up for him to her father. The next rose was to Johanna, feeling closer than ever after being able to mend a family rift between her and her little sister. Then it came down to Delphine and Tuesday. Despite Tuesday's hometown going relatively well she was pretty detached from the experience, but the two had been getting flirtier each week. Was it a lasting romantic bond or just an attraction though? As for Delphine their love story had been growing until she found herself in the bottom two this week and last. Her hometown was easily the most dramatic after getting into a fist fight with her sister. Was letting old drama come to blows able to solidify Devonte's care for her, or did the drama too much for him? It turns out the fight let Devonte realize just how much he cared for Delphine, and she received the final rose, which meant Tuesday was leaving the competition in 4th place. After seeing how bonded he felt with the other girls after meeting the families, he realized he adored Tuesday but only as a best friend, and this week finally let him come to terms with the fact that their romantic bond was not there like it was with the others. Thankfully Tuesday had come to the same conclusion that week, and she left with a smile wishing him luck with the others, both of them knowing they'd found a lifelong friend in one another at least.

Only 5 remained as the ladies and Devonte spent their week relaxing at a cabin in the woods After a group date, one-on-one, and a bonfire it was time to send one more lady home resulting in the Top  4. ~

The ladies got a day to mingle with Devonte as they got used to their new home for the week. He set his sights on Delphine first, doing some flirting in the kitchen before proceeding to his directed actions as a result of the week's favorites poll. Those results of our first poll where the public could only vote for one girl each ended up with Delphine and Haylee receiving 2 votes each, and Johanna and Tuesday receiving 1 vote each, leaving Regan with 0. He went and spoke to Tuesday first, the two hitting it off and getting flirtier with each other each week. Next he hung out with Johanna in the gym proving that there was still a spark between the two despite being a little rocky the past couple of weeks. His conversation with Haylee went well, Haylee seeming fairly charmed and responding well to his flirts, despite being one of the girls who was usually less hot and heavy with him. Lastly he went back to give some attention to Delphine, the two sharing some sweet moments in the kitchen together. With plenty of the afternoon left, Tuesday pulled him for a steamy makeout on the back porch before Regan dragged him aside as well, wanting to at least get a moment with him before the day was over, startling Devonte at first by coming on too strong as always, but turning things around by the end of their conversation. All in all a more successful day of mingling than the past few.

~

This week's group date consisted of Devonte taking all 5 of the ladies to enjoy the great outdoors around them at a local campsite. Haylee ran inside the communal cabin area to save her skin along with Johanna who went to collect her thoughts and do some reading at the start. Regan swooped in and planted one on Devonte right in front of Delphine and Tuesday, clearly upsetting the two as they left the area to commiserate together on what they just saw. When Devonte tried to embrace Regan back she inexplicably pushed him away and ran off to do her own thing, perhaps only wanting to be that bold with him when they other girls were around? Haylee came to console him and despite a bear-y rude interruption they had quite a nice conversation that ended in a bit of hanky panky upstairs. The second half of the date Devonte joined Johanna at the fire place and they also had a good long talk that ended in a bit of making out. In the end Haylee got the one-on-one time with Devonte where they did some stargazing together and some lounging in the cabin just enjoying each other's company before sharing a sweet embrace on the porch as Haylee received a rose and therefore safety for the week.

~

It was time for the one-on-one date as Johanna received her second date with Devonte, joining him at the Ranger Stanley Hot Tubs hot springs. Their last date weeks ago was an incredibly steamy affair, and Devonte was hoping to rekindle that heat on this date. Feeling a disconnect the past few days, he really wanted some alone time with her to make sure there was still a connection to be shared. They hung out in the hot tub chatting and flirting the day away before just basking in each other's presence around the campfire. Lastly Devonte made them some drinks, giving her a rose of course as he was plenty reassured they hadn't lost their connection. Johanna confessed her love for him and shared sweet sentiments about always being there for Devonte no matter what as they headed back to the lodge.

~

Tensions were pretty high between the remaining 3 girls in danger as they went into the pre-ceremony bonfire party. Devonte wanted to spend some time talking alone with each of the ladies to see where their heads were at and test their connection one last time before making the very tough decision of who to send home. First he talked with Tuesday, their conversation going fairly smoothly, Tuesday seeming pretty confident in their ever progressing bond, even if things remained relatively friendly. Next was Delphine as she nervously went to talk to him, still feeling more hurt than Tuesday about what she saw on the group date. It seemed her nerves got the best of her as any romantic interactions from either of them seemed to not be landing, leaving both parties somewhat insecure about their connection. Lastly he spoke to Regan who yet again seemed turned off by Devonte's strong passes at her when left alone, confusing Devonte after how intense she had been in weeks prior. Devonte sat on his own for a good long while contemplating what direction to go in, clearly distraught as whatever decision he made at this point would be incredibly difficult.

~

Alas it was time the most dramatic rose ceremony of the season. Haylee and Johanna joined Devonte at the podium already receiving safety for the week. An array of emotions displayed across everyone's faces knowing only 2 more women would be joining them up there. Devonte seemed incredibly upset, not wanting to have to break someone's heart since he truly cared so much for every girl left. There was no time to waste though as Devonte did have to make his decision known to the girls. The first rose was given to Tuesday as he felt most secure about their connection, leaving Delphine and Regan in the bottom two. Delphine had such a strong bond with him the past few weeks, their romantic connection really ramping up and solidifying in Sulani, but her hurt from seeing him kiss another woman shut her off on the group date and left her nervous enough to leave an awkward energy between the two going into the ceremony as she shied away from his advances. Was it enough to break them up, or simply a bump in the road? On the other hand, Regan had in been in this position time and time again, never landing on solid ground with Devonte. Things were intense when they connected but those moments still seemed few and far between, and often in front of the others these days leaving Devonte somewhat unsure of how she truly felt. Would the heat that was there be enough to carry her through again, or was this finally the end of the road? It was an incredibly tough call that took a definite toll on our bachelor, but the final rose was given out to Delphine, meaning that Regan was finally sent home. Though Devonte's feelings had really bloomed for her, hers seemed to shrink, and with so many other girls he felt more stable with he just couldn't keep up with the back and forth nature of their relationship. Delphine was elated to remain in the competition as Regan was irate, being the first contestant to completely brush Devonte off, storming out the door without a second look his way.

~

Only 4 girls are left, meaning Devonte will be travelling to their hometowns and meeting their families!

6 contestants remained as the ladies and Devonte spent their last week in an island paradise. After a group date, one-on-one, and a rave it was time to send one more lady home resulting in the Top  5. ~

The day of mingling was more of a day of repairing as quite a few of the ladies were feeling jealous about Devonte spending time with the other women, only natural as feelings get stronger this close to the end of the competition. Everyone left ended up with votes from the favorites poll, though some more than onthers, Rosabel getting the most at 4 votes, Tuesday and Johanna right behind with 3 votes, and Regan, Delphine, and Haylee tied at 2 votes each. He spent some time chatting with Delphine first before they snuck off to WooHoo in the shower. Afterwards he spent some time flirting with a very high Tuesday before they had a WooHoo in the shower as well. Naughty naughty. Delphine, Rosabel, and Johanna did some bonding together as Devonte went to spend some time at the poolside with Haylee, the flirts directed at each other not quite landing unfortunately. Johanna was feeling a little cool at the start of their convo but she eventually melted back into his arms as they slow danced for a moment to Tuesday's... lovely singing in the background. He spent some time chatting with Regan over dinner but for once it was Devonte coming on strong and Regan not responding well at all, leaving Devonte confused as he rounded out the night chatting to Rosabel at the fireplace. His and Rosabel's conversation quickly turned sour like the previous week, Devonte at least having success with a bit of flirting before heading upstairs, a bit uneasy about where he stood with some of the ladies though.

~

For the group date, Devonte took the 3 lowest scoring ladies to the Island Festival for some fun in the sun. Those ladies ended up being Tuesday, Regan, and Rosabel, Devonte not feeling confident as confident about the bond with any of the compared to some of the others and wanting to suss it out farther. He first spend some time talking to Rosabel where they discussed the heated conversation from last night, a repeat of the beginning of last week's group date. There were a few awkward moments and more miscommunications, the romantic chatter not creating sparks, before Devonte went to spend some time with Tuesday. Almost immediately they tried to go hook up but the producers told him he couldn't leave the group date area to do so, so they spent a good amount of time talking and getting pretty flirty at least. Lastly he spent some time with Regan, needing to discuss dissent between the two of them as well. It was as little stilted until they started flirting again just as the group time ran out. Tuesday was the one he chose to spend some more time talking with one on one, and the two headed down to the local bar to do so. They had a lovely conversation watching the sunset before hooking up in the bathroom, leaving Tuesday with a rose and therefore safety for the week.

~

Although not the most appropriate environment for her to be heading out in, Haylee was the one who received the one-on-one date the next afternoon. Devonte took her to the volcano site for some beach fun, though Haylee needed to stay under her umbrella most of the time. They had a lovely chat before playing around in the waterfall some. They spent a long time talking and growing their connection as the sun starting to set. Haylee got a little sheepish with Devonte throwing some bold flirts her way, but she started responding more positively to some light flirting as the night went on. Once the stars were out they ended the date by building a very impressive sand sculpture together before Haylee and Devonte had their first kiss, Haylee of course receiving a rose.

~

The next night they headed up to the deck for an island rave! There was plenty of fun dancing to be had, Devonte immediately going to flirt with Johanna some, which many of the other ladies were not a fan of. Despite already having a rose, Tuesday pulled Devonte aside for a brief makeout away from the ladies, just to make sure she was still on his mind, but Devonte was startled by her bold move and turned her down. When he tried to back track and kiss her himself she pushed him away. Not the warmest reception. He pulled Delphine away from the group for a chat next, things staying pretty friendly but going well. Him and Rosabel had some alone time next, the two making out on the balcony. After Devonte had a close encounter of the fifth kind he rejoined the group on the dance floor, being bold and flirting with Delphine a little despite the others being around, and yet again not pleased with his blatant display of affection for someone else.

~

With no rose being given out at the party, it was time for the rose ceremony. Tuesday and Haylee were sitting pretty, already receiving roses for the week, but everyone else was uneasy to say the least. The first rose went to Delphine, their connection remaining strong throughout the week from the brief moments they interacted. Next was Johanna, still not at the top again but the few sweet moments they had shared making Devonte feel better about their bond, and still never quite being able to get her out of his head in the first place. Thus it came down to Regan and Rosabel, the two that had the biggest drama with Devonte that week, and the two that had been most vocal about their feelings for him. Regan was always hot and cold, and tended to be in the bottom if she wasn't already safe. After weeks of Regan's strong feelings turning Devonte off, he was finally feeling the same heat, but was being met with the cold shoulder lately leaving him unsure what had changed between them. Since the start Rosabel had been at the front of Devonte's thoughts, their relationship being hot and heavy only second to Johanna until they visited Sulani it seemed. After her confession of love to him the week before, there seemed to be a disconnect between them, having almost a repeat of the week before of steamy moments being interwoven with arguments and awkward rejections. In the biggest blindside of the season, the last rose went to Regan, meaning that Rosabel was eliminated from the competition. When taking a long hard look at the situation, Devonte realized his feelings for Regan had been growing and they could work no their communication, whereas his feelings for Rosabel were waning after an intense first couple weeks. He knew he didn't feel the same kind of love for her that Rosabel felt for him, and didn't see it happening down the line either, so the best thing to do was send Rosabel home now. And that's where we're left, a devastated Rosabel heading off into the night.

With only 7 contestants remaining the ladies along with Devonte moved into a tropical resort on the beautiful island of Sulani. After a group date, one-on-one, and a beach party it was time to say goodbye to one more lady leaving us with the Top 6. ~

Things really heated up as the ladies had a day to mingle with Devonte in their new abode. Romantic relationships holding more weight than friendships at this stage meant that each of the fan favorite votes counted for one direct romantic interaction. The votes played out with Johanna, Tuesday, and Rosabel receiving 2 and Haylee, Delphine, and Regan receiving 1. No love for Pearl as usual. Johanna first got some time alone with Devonte, both of them being very flirty and stealing quite a few kisses with each other (Devonte even sneaking an illegal rose to her). Regan was partaking in the hookah bar when Devonte went to speak with her, hopes of a first kiss still lingering on her mind. She still didn't get her kiss but at least the flirting went better than it has in the past between them. Afterwards he had a lightly flirty convo with Tuesday before sharing some sweet cuddles on the couch with Delphine. He spent some time conversing with Haylee, just throwing in some flirts before Rosabel swooped in and stole the attention away, even dragging Devonte upstairs to have sex on the balcony. Bold move. Even if Rosabel didn't seem too satisfied afterwards which resulted in Rosabel actually getting into an arguement with Devonte where she denounced his friendship. Lastly Devonte threw one more bone to Pearl, trying to start a light conversation that went nowhere as usual.

~

Up next was a group date with only the 4 lowest scored this time - which ended up being Pearl, Haylee, Delphine, and Rosabel after their fight the night before. The five of them headed out to The Modern Pool to stay cool and continue building their connections. First of all he wanted to sort things out with Rosabel after their whirlwind last encounter where they bonded over some cloudgazing as they so often did. Next he went and joined Delphine and Haylee in the hot tub where they had a nice chat, the other girls soon joining. The producers curbed Haylee's efforts to WooHoo with Devonte before they at least took some time to themselves chatting in the hallway. Delphine stole away next and it was her who ended up getting the one on one time with him at the end. Being on their own now, Devonte and Delphine hung out in the hot tub for a bit before WooHooing in the sauna and rounding out the night with a friendly dance battle, Delphine receiving a rose of course before heading home.

~

The next day was the one-on-one date that ended up going to Regan, who had a lot of one-on-one time from group dates thus far but never her own date until now. They went to the Sulani Diner for some beach fun and food. While conversing over drinks Regan started coming on very strong with the romantic interactions, yet again making things awkward between the two. They moved to building a sand castle together before sitting down to have drinks and ice cream and try to smooth out the conversation. Clearly that worked as they proceeded to have a lovely rest of their evening where Regan finally got her first kiss out on the dock before Devonte gave her a rose.

~

It was time again for another party, this time a beach party out on the shores of Sulani. Everyone was having a great time partaking in various beach activities. Devonte tried some conversing with Pearl, even trying to flirt with her before the conversation eventually petered out and Pearl ran to the water. A few of the other girls like Delphine and Johanna noticed the flirting though and were feeling a bit jealous. He spent some time with Tuesday and Haylee each before pulling Rosabel aside. Their hot and cold relationship of the week continued where their romantic interactions towards each other did not seem to be clicking like normal. Even so, Devonte realized the conversation with Rosabel still flowed the most naturally out of all the ones he had that night which resulted in her receiving the last pre-ceremony rose once again. Rosabel even confessed to Devonte that she loved him, with the first L word drop of the season, shocking everyone - Devonte most, who wasn't quite sure how he felt about such a strong admission so soon.

~

Thus the rose ceremony was upon us. Delphine, Regan, and Rosabel all went into it knowing they were safe, leaving 4 ladies' lives still in the balance. The first rose went to Haylee it turns out, her bond continuing to grow fairly strong throughout the week. Up next was Tuesday who had slowly been building a romantic connection and rising in the ranks. Seeing Devonte act somewhat flirty towards Tuesday struck some jealousy with Haylee and Regan along with Delphine and Rosabel this time. It seems a lot of the ladies were realizing just how much they cared for Devonte, and the jealousy was getting more and more rampant. That left Pearl and Johanna in the bottom two. No one was very shocked about Pearl, she had been comfortably sitting near the bottom since the start and had not been showing much effort nor succeeding when she did at any point this week. Johanna however was always a front runner but found her self close to elimination, a shock to everyone but understandable since she seemed to keep pulling away from him whenever noticing that he was into some of the other girls as well, something she would have to learn to cope with better if she wished to stay. Johanna did receive the final rose in the end, the connection still present but hopefully a wake up call to Johanna that she would need to work harder and be stronger if she wanted to win. Finally it was time for Pearl to leave the competition. After countless close calls, our remaining mermaid finally flopped and got cast out to sea, deservedly so after not even thriving on her home turf. Devonte wished her well as she left with a friendship, but nothing close to the romantic connections that were being formed with all of the remaining ladies.

Things are heating up with only 9 women left. Devonte had the dreaded two-on-one as well as a one-on-one date before having a garden party in the backyard that lead to one more eviction. ~

First the ladies had a day to mingle with Devonte at will of course. The favorites poll was pretty split yet again leaving Tuesday, Rosabel, and Johanna with 2 votes each, and Angie, Delphine, Regan, and Haylee with 1 vote each. Things were going well as Devonte made his rounds, chatting up the ladies, spending some time cloudgazing with Rosabel. Him and Delphine had a long conversation in the bedroom where their romantic connection started to bloom more than ever. Soon Regan came in and took Devonte's attention yet again firing in strong with the romantic interactions, actually yelling at Devonte this time when he still didn't reciprocate. Devonte explained that he just needs to slow things down as he doesn't feel as strongly yet, leaving things a little frosty as he went to spend time with Johanna. Poor Johanna was still feeling a little blue from seeing Devonte flirt with the other girls, spirits being a little lifted by Devonte's attention, but quickly faltering yet again as Devonte then flirted with Delphine right in front of her. Read the room Devonte.

~

The next day brought the dreaded two-on-one date at the Elixir Lounge where the 2 girls with the lowest scores would be going on a joint date with Devonte, and the girl with the lowest score by the end would be leaving right as the date ended. Those girls ended up being Elva, who had a strong friendship with Devonte but her unflirty nature was still putting up a barrier to forming a romantic connection with him, and in a surprising turn of events Regan, as Devonte has grown wary of their hot and cold relationship and wanted to once and for all see if he feels the same spark she does or not. Regan fired in right away with the flirts, trying to repair the relationship after their fight the day before and it was thankfully going over well, Devonte even flirting back as Elva was left awkwardly standing nearby. Elva eventually realized it was now or never and put herself out there, joining the conversation and pulling Devonte away for some alone time, even trying to flirt with him a little. Both girls put up a strong fight, really laying their hearts on the line, but ultimately Devonte realized that even if he wasn't as into Regan as she was him, there was a connection there, and he just couldn't see his bond with Elva ever venturing past a friendship, and thus Elva was sent home, meaning Regan yet again received a date rose.

~

It was sad to see Elva leave but the show had to go on, and one of the fan favorites since the start finally got her chance to shine as Tuesday received the one-on-one date. Devonte took her to the La Bella Luna karaoke bar where they sat chatting for a while, at the very least lust in the air as they tried to sneak off to hook up multiple times in a row. They sang some songs together before grabbing a drink at the bar and talking the night away. As the date rounded out they did end up hooking up in the coat closet. A fun time all around, proving there was at least some type of attraction between the two even though Tuesday rarely steals Devonte's attention, but unclear whether those feelings went beyond lust. Nonetheless Tuesday went home with a rose and a place in the Top 7.

~

The next night the group had a romantic garden party in the back. Devonte started the night chatting with Pearl by the champagne fountain before Delphine swooped in and even offered to whisk Devonte away for a WooHoo, which the producers curbed but was a an impressively bold move from Delphine. By the party Johanna had been feeling much better about Devonte, putting her game face on and realizing that if she liked him that much she couldn't keep moping around. Although she turned him down when he swooped in for a kiss they talked for a long while before sneaking off to hook up in a bush. Regan already safe but still hell bent on getting a kiss from Devonte pulled him into the fireplace room for some alone time. Alas she still didn't get her kiss but they at least had a good conversation that didn't end in flames. Lastly Rosabel snagged Devonte and had a long fairly flirty conversation with him as the party wound down. Appreciating her gusto Devonte gave the last pre-ceremony rose to Rosabel again.

~

Soon the rose ceremony was yet again upon us. With Elva leaving on the two-on-one only one more girl would be eliminated. Regan, Tuesday, and Rosabel joined Devonte at the podium, already earning their safety for the week. Unsurprisingly the first rose of the ceremony was given out to Johanna, remaining a front runner of the group. Next was Delphine who had really stepped up her romantic game with Devonte that week and absolutely deserved a top spot. The next rose was given to Haylee, who had been pretty absent all episode but the strong impression she made on their date a while ago still remained on Devonte's mind, and he still had fleeting desires for her to maybe turn him into a vampire, so Haylee was definitely one he still had interest in getting to know. Then it was down to Pearl and Angie, fairly expected by most, Pearl being pegged by many as the one who would probably leave this episode. Pearl had always floated near the bottom of the rankings but each time skirted by, but would she be able to tonight as well? And Angie who had gotten the first hook up of the season and made bold moves, but only rarely. Would that be enough to keep her in, or was she just a quick fling? In a shocking turn of events, it was Angie who got sent home, Devonte deciding that the romantic connection with Pearl was flourishing a tiny bit more, whereas the one with Angie seemed to peter out once they slept together. It was bitter sweet as we said goodbye to Angie, but congratulated the remaining ladies on making it into the Top 7!

Tensions are rising as we get down to the wire with only 12 women remaining, Devonte going on another group date and one-on-one date before having a dance party in the backyard that lead to our last triple eviction of the season. ~

Up first was a day of mingling of course. There was the largest turnout of the season for the favorites poll, but the public seemed pretty split on their opinions leaving only 3 girls without any votes. Angie, Tuesday, Johanna, and Rosabel all received 2 votes and Haylee, Haven, Delphine, Regan, and Posie each got 1. There was generally a lot more flirts being passed around than usual, and even a few attempted hookups, but the producers told Devonte he really needed to tone it down. It seems some of Devonte's antics have made it through the gossip pool in the house because a lot of the girls including Regan and Johanna turned down Devonte's advances themselves. You go ladies.

~

Next day the group date rolled around. The 7 girls with the lowest scores that were headed out to the Luxe Health Club Gym with Devonte were Pearl, Haven, Jordin, Posie, Angie, Regan, and Elva. There was quite a lot of interest in Devonte's running but eventually everyone else started joining in the working out as well. Most of the conversation Devonte had was with Regan, Pearl, and Elva. Near the end Regan pulled him aside to talk in private for a bit, because she really wanted to get a kiss from him. It didn't quite pan out though as they had a good chat, but Regan confessed her attraction to Devonte and it was a little too intense for him and it didn't go over great, leaving both of them pretty embarrassed. Even so he chose Regan to spend the one on one time with to hopefully smooth over that interaction. Their private time was a bit stilted as Regan's admission still lingered over them, most conversations not going for very long. She did still receive a rose.

~

After some firey mishaps, it was time for the one-on-one date, which Johanna was finally choosen for. The two headed to the Inner Mitte Spa for some rest and relaxation. They started with couples massages before moving to the sauna, conversation and flirts flowing the entire time as is the usual with these two. They ended up WooHooing in the sauna and making out some more once they changed back into their clothes. A couple of the girls such as Angie were trying to show up and snoop on the date but got turned away and sent home by production every time they got caught. Johanna clearly received a rose at the end after a steamy date all around. Seems the two just needed some actual alone time for things to really heat up with their relationship.

~

The next night it was time for a dance party in the backyard. Everyone changed into their party clothes and headed to the dance floor. Devonte had a roller coaster of a week, especially with his emotions, Regan's admission giving him a lot to contemplate, so he relied on the public for some help on who he should give attention to. After dancing with Delphine he started some conversation with girls like Pearl and Jordin and later Elva that hadn't gotten much attention lately. No matter what Regan stuck around as well, throwing some public flirts Devonte's way, absolutely asserting her dominance in the group. Johanna noticed this and seeing other girls flirt with Devonte hurt her more than she thought it would, realizing that she had caught really strong feelings for him at this point. Feeling jealous and sad Johanna spent most of the party drinking alone in the corner. When the party was over, Devonte decided to give the last pre-ceremony rose to Pearl since she really held her own at the party, staying in the conversation all night and even flirting with him from time to time, and he was impressed with her effort this week.

~

Then it was unfortunately time for the rose ceremony where 3 more ladies would be leaving. Regan, Johanna, and Pearl were sitting pretty, already safe for the week. Unsurprisingly the first couple roses went to Rosabel, Delphine, and Tuesday, still maintaining their spots near the top. Haylee was next, followed by Angie, who was slowly making her way up the totem poll, the bit of conversing she did at the party really helping. Already it was down to the bottom four: Jordin who was known for keeping to herself, Posie who made an admission of having children to Devonte the week prior but hadn't followed up much with him since, Elva who had a friendship with Devonte but her unflirty nature still keeping up a barrier between them, and Haven who tended to fade into the background even when given a push to talk with Devonte. In the end, the last rose went to Elva, Devonte having a strong connection with her and wanting to give her another shot to break through her unflirty shell. That unfortunately meant that Jordin, Posie, and Haven were headed home.

Things are ramping up in the Bachelor mansion as Devonte had a wild second week in the game, yet again going on a group date, a one-on-one, and hosting a pool party before having to send 3 more women home. ~

Of course the ladies first had a day to mingle with Devonte in the house. Everyone filtered out of the rose ceremony area at their own pace, a little shy to pull Devonte aside (see Pearl who was the last to leave and awkwardly stood silent next to him for what can be described as too long). Seeing everyone's reluctance to be the first to strike up a conversation with him, Devonte jumped right into talking to the ladies that you voted as your favorites for the week, which were Angie, Fay, Johanna, Rosabel, and Tuesday with 2 votes and Delphine, Haylee and Jessica coming in at 1 vote each. He went right to Angie where we had a first of the season as she whisked Devonte off to the bush in the back yard for a bit of impromptu WooHoo, shocking us all. A bold strategy indeed, especially for someone who previously had little repour with the bachelor. It seemed hormones were running high as soon after Devonte was the one to pull Delphine away from the group for a bit of WooHoo time as well. At least we seem to have cleared up whether there were only friendly vibes between the two? The producers told Devonte he needed to chill out once he was seen pulling a move on Fay next, and he spent the rest of the evening conversing with most of the girls that got the favorite votes.

~

At noon the next day it was time for the second group date of the series! After yesterdays antics the 7 ladies with the lowest scores were Jessica, Pearl, Angie, Priscila, Jordin, Fay, and Posie. Devonte took those ladies out to the Yellow Flamingo night club to mingle and dance into the night. It was clear a lot of the girls were feeling nervous about their positions but not nervous enough to really kick it into high gear and go get their man. A flurry of fast conversations, including a wee bit of flirting with Pearl, were had but none seemed to really capture Devonte's attention. He did hear a bit of gossip about Posie from Jordin involving her having kids. He pulled Posie aside to ask about it and she revealed that she did have children she hadn't mentioned yet, but failed to reveal who exactly those children were with. In the end, even though they didn't speak much during the date, it was Priscila that Devonte wanted to spend the one on one time with. Their move towards flirting at the cocktail party had really put her on his radar and he really wanted to get to know her more, especially since they didn't converse much with the whole group around. Right at the start of their alone time is when shit hit the fan. With barley a sentence shared between them Priscila jumped Devonte and tried to steal his money. Obviously Devonte was appalled and immediately irate with Priscilla. She then tried to smooth it over but inviting him upstairs to WooHoo themselves, but our bachelor was having none of that. Now seeing that she was only here for his money, an upset and hurt Devonte cut the alone time short and immediately sent Priscila packing, resulting in our first pre-ceremony elimination ever. Devonte went back home alone and more wary of people's intentions than ever before.

~

The next day Devonte was still shaken up by the happenings of the night before, as were the ladies when Priscilla never came home. Our bachelor was realizing he needed to take this all much more seriously to make sure he was making the right choices. The show must go on though, and it was time for the one-on-one date, which fell to Haylee - a strong contender from the start but someone who hadn't spent a lot of time with him lately. Devonte always had a good time with her and he was hoping she would be able to take his mind off of all the drama on their date to The Druid Pub. Haylee was feeling a little down that day and Devonte was determined to put a smile back on her face from the moment they headed out. They had a great time conversing and playing Don't Wake The Llama for a majority of the time before rounding out the date cuddled up on the couch watching a horror flick. It was a lovely day overall that ended with Haylee getting a rose. She seemed saddened at the gesture, but perhaps it's because she wanted it to be a more romantic gesture instead...

~

Time flew by until it was time for the pool party the next evening. Devonte first tried to talk with Fay a bit, but it didn't go very well as Fay quickly started snapping at him. Not wanting to make things worse he turned his attention to Haven who was much more receptive to the conversing and even a bit of flirting, which Fay noticed and was not amused by. Johanna quickly swooped in and tugged Devonte away from the others to have a private chat as Fay started arguing with Haven over the flirting. Over in the garden Johanna and Devonte had a flirty conversation where Johanna secured the first kiss of the season, which lead to them sneaking off for a quick WooHoo in the garden as well. When they headed back to the others, Regan was the next to get her claws on Devonte, flirting and then dragging him to the gazebo and trying to feel him up. Devonte did not appreciate it happening pretty much right in front of the others, nor did the other ladies so he put a stop to it right away. Instead he pulled Rosabel aside since she was still on his mind, and he on hers, as those two also snuck off to WooHoo in the garden before the party ended. He still couldn't get his thoughts off of Johanna though, and her pulling him away to finally kiss him secured her the last pre-ceremony rose, and the first romantically coded rose as well!

~

It was time for the rose ceremony, as only Haylee and Johanna went into it with safety. Only two more ladies would be sent home since Priscila was already eliminated earlier in the week. Not forgetting their lovely time last week, and their intimate times early in this week, the first rose of the ceremony went to Delphine. Next was Regan who had snuck up much higher than before, her attempted hand-job making some kind of impression at least. Unsurprisingly, Tuesday was next, followed by Rosabel, a bit lower than expected after just having slept with Devonte. Elva, Haven, Jordin, and Angie followed, Angie still not managing to rise in the ranks a ton even after putting the moves on Devonte first. It got down to the wire as Posie received a rose as well, Devonte not loving that she kept her children a secret but appreciating that she was upfront when he asked. That left Pearl, the remaining mermaid who seemed more interested in swimming than chatting most of the time, Jessica, who had faded a bit into the background and seemed to chat up the girls more than Devonte, and Fay, who had a pretty hot and cold relationship with Devonte so far. In the end, he decided that Pearl deserved a little more time to come out of her shell and gave her the final rose. Jessica just didn't step up to the plate enough and Fay's recent argument left a bad taste in Devonte's mouth, especially after her lackluster reactions to his advances in the past, and thus those two were sent home.

Which is where we left off, with the Top 12 women remaining in the competition to become Devonte's wife!
