By Krista Kelly
In this episode, the remaining 7 men jet off to the city of Buenos Aires. Wells receives a 1-on-1 date, a group date gets awkward when James throws Jordan under the bus for acting entitled, Derek and Chase face off during a 2-on-1, and JoJo has a mini-meltdown before the final rose.
Peace out Uruguay, hello Argentina! The preview montage alone features more people than we ever saw in Uruguay.
JoJo has a kick-off coffee chat in the park with Chris Harrison. She says she finally understands how Ben could love two people at once.
JoJo: What if I fall in with love with two people just like Ben!
Chris: The irony would be pretty thick.
After the guys settle into their cushy hotel, the first date card arrives. The one-on-one goes to Wells this week, he then admits to the guys that he has not kissed JoJo yet.
When JoJo arrives to greet them, Luke asks “Are you guys going to kiss today?”
Off to the date! After walking around a market and holding hands, JoJo takes Wells to a performance art venue.
Now it’s their turn to participate! Wells is finally going to have his moment with JoJo as they splash around in a shallow pool.
JoJo says the kiss went well, but now it’s time for the real test… dinner. The conversation is going well, JoJo says that she thinks Wells is an interesting person and is fun to be around. Then Wells starts to blow it… She asks him about his ex-girlfriend and he says that they lost their spark. JoJo responds by saying that she believes in true love, the kind where your attracted to your husband forever…Wells fails to conceal his skepticism and JoJo sends him home.
Then JoJo goes to this random performance art rave by herself, I guess she was supposed to go to with Wells?
Next up, it’s a group date for everyone but Robbie and Derek. The guys show off their muscles while playing street soccer and James talks about how insecure he is.
At drinks, Luke tells JoJo he only wants more of her, cue a hot make-out in matching leather jackets.
James uses his time to come clean to JoJo about how he thinks Jordan is not a great guy. He says that when they were playing cards they got in a fight about a rule and Jordan was very pushy. JoJo seems to be taking it seriously but really James, is that was your best example of Jordan acting like a douche?
JoJo confronts Jordan about the incident and he explains that it was just a disagreement about a rule. Then JoJo drops the “entitled” bomb and Jordan gets kind of pissed.
Afterwards, Jordan confronts James and it doesn’t really go anywhere. The date rose goes to hot Luke.
Now the fun part, it’s a 2-on-1 date between Chase and Derek. It will take three to tango on this date and Chase gets pretty excited when to practically flashed by the tango teacher.
Derek and Chase are actually not bad at tango…
At dinner, JoJo finally has to choose. Her date with Derek goes well but she seems a little withdrawn.
She confronts Chase about not showing enough emotion. He says that he’s trying to show his feelings and I believe him, he just doesn’t have an emotional face.
In the end, JoJo picks Chase and Derek is devastated.
At the rose ceremony, all of the guys without roses are super nervous. Her time with Jordan goes pretty well, he says he wants to be in love and find the person to “do life with”.
Alex tells JoJo that he really needs a one-on-one and that he’s sad. James talks about how he is fighting for her, knowing that he’s probably on the chopping block.
Sure enough, the final rose comes down to Alex and James. After a lot of pausing, JoJo walks out and tells Chris Harrison she can’t give out the final rose.
JoJo successfully pulls an Emily and is given an extra rose for the week.
Next week, the dates get more intense as the hometowns loom closer. Robbie claims that he is the front-runner, followed by major drama as the guys talk about what JoJo “needs to know”…
