‘The Bachelor’: Ben Higgins talks Olivia Caridi confessionals, more with Ellen DeGeneres
Later in the show, Ellen puts Ben in the hot seat by asking him to describe each woman in one word. They’ll make it happen.
When the pair waited for the helicopter to arrive, they drank champagne at a table. Nothing they said was of import, but there were many kisses in the helicopter and in front of the fireworks and on the couch of soul baring. Ben wanted to make sure she actually had an investment in being with him before they moved forward and her lips said all the right things that her cold dead eyes couldn’t.
During his date with Becca, Ben made a decision to not only address the elephant in the room-Becca’s virginity-but ride it until the legs fell off. They talked about why she was a virgin, was it hard to be a virgin and how did she feel about Ben “not” being a virgin? Emily kinda throws her sister under the bus, man. Is it worth the awkwardness at home for Emily to take on this “Haley is weak, and I am the dominant twin” attitude when she’s probably going to be eliminated within the next two weeks? To the audience of 1,200 at the Terry Fator Show at the Mirage Hotel and Casino, they seemed like high artisans. One would think that, given that she’s been through this rigamarole a few times, Amber would have be better equipped to handle it. Her tears at the end of the Rose Ceremony, however, indicated otherwise. But how can Haley go back to her job as “twin” if her “twin” gets to continue on her journey for reality tv love?
“I hate that they had to witness what was supposed to be a very private moment between JoJo and me”, Higgins noted. That gives Olivia the boost of confidence she needs. And Amanda ends up scoring an early rose.
No one was more hilariously frightful than previous front-runner Olivia Caridi, who jumped out of a cake in a Vegas show-girl outfit and attempted something that resembled a strip-tease. Ben looked a little scared. But she doesn’t get too long with him.
Last night was one of the most cringe-worthy episodes of “The Bachelor” season 20, so far, with Olivia stealing the show. I couldn’t help but kiss her. JoJo and I just cannot get past that passion and that adrenaline was an unbelievable start to our date.
Still, Ben gave Lauren B. the rose.
Package delivery for Becca. A card read, “Get dressed, it’s a big day”. What’s interesting is the fact that she will be wearing a wedding dress. JoJo uses the opportunity to open up about her last relationship, which ended five months prior. A blurred out face drives her to a wedding chapel in Vegas in a pink Cadilac. While this season’s bachelor Ben Higgins studied business, enjoys line-dancing and once volunteered in Peru, that year’s Renaissance man was 27-year-old “actor-artist-athlete” Gardner McKay, who was also a sailor and schooner captain, a basketball star, equestrian and diver, a fisherman, model, sculptor and photographer.
