I really shudder to think of our lovely Ben waking up to that face every morning, I don’t care what the “Love Lab” claims about their potential chemistry. I feel terrible saying that but that’s honestly what I thought. I’m just a really horrible person I guess – so be it! Group Date 1. Jackie. LBLauren B. Becca. Inside Pulse 12.

I just asked my Magic 8 Ball what the chances of that are. It said: “Not Likely”. Actually, I didn’t need to consult a Magic 8 Ball to foresee Lace’s utter failure to prove she’s not an insecure nightmare. She’d have to not be one in order for that to occur. Like I said last week, there are some traits that are not induced by alcohol. For this date, Ben takes the girls back to high school. The girls are grouped in teams of two and the woman left standing in the end will get to be Ben’s homecoming queen. Chris Harrison actually looks kind of hot dressed as a nerdy professor. He’s so not my type but I guess if you put a guy in a sweater vest and glasses, my nerd- girl hormones go crazy even if I know intellectually that the guy I’m looking at isn’t actually a nerd. The first challenge is the science fair. Jubilee is relying on Lace to be the brains of their team. This will not end well. Each team has to combine chemicals to “make Ben’s volcano explode”. Hahahahahaha. Lace’s brains don’t hold up and she and Jubilee are eliminated. Didn’t see that one coming. Next is lunch? When did lunch become a subject in high school? The girls bob for apples and have to pass the apples to their partners mouth- to- mouth and put it on their lunch trays. This seems much less like real school and much more like something you’d see on Cinemax at 2am. Ben is enjoying the girl- on- girl action though I doubt his Christian brain is allowing him to acknowledge that’s what he’s actually watching. Jackie and partner are eliminated. Next is geography class. The remaining teams have to pick out the shape of Indiana from an assortment of states and place it in its approximate location on a map of the U. S. This should be good. Becca and Jo. Jo manage to get Indiana but they put it on the map 9. As Ben says, if they were going for Pennsylvania, they did a pretty good job. They are eliminated. Team Amber/Mandi and team Jennifer/LB are left. Next is P. E. The curriculum is intense at Bachelor High. Chemistry, Lunch, Geography, and P. E. What’s next? Basket Weaving? Perish the thought. The girls have to throw free throws (that’s basketball for any fellow nerds who might be reading and don’t know the first thing about sports). The first team to make 3(?) wins. Amber and Mandi win. Next Mandi and Amber have to compete against each other. Nope, not basket weaving. Track and field. Their brains must be hurting over all this mental stimulation. Mandi and Amber compete against each other in a hurdle race. Mandi with her giraffe legs wins handily and becomes Ben’s homecoming queen. Her extra time consisted of riding around the track with Ben in a Mustang. She also got a tiara and a sash. Totally worth it. But the other girls were green with envy nonetheless. Get a life, ladies. Oh wait, I guess you wouldn’t be on the show if you had one. They play some more basketball. Becca is cool as a cucumber and pretty good at basketball. I guess it pays to be on this show more than once. Becca’s walking around like she owns the place. I definitely get a friend vibe though between her and Ben. It’s too bad because I think she and Ben have a lot in common. Jennifer and Ben definitely have chemistry. Ben’s first real makeout session of the season. I’m wondering what type of woman Ben needs though. I sense Jennifer is very strong- willed which is good but Ben is very gentle. I don’t know yet if he would do better with someone who is very soft and gentle like he is or someone who can lead him a little bit. So far, his front- runners are Olivia and Jennifer which leads me to believe that Ben may be attracted to strong women. But perhaps that’s why his relationships haven’t worked out in the past. Strong women tend to get bored easily with men who aren’t as tough as they are. Lace is “very aggravated” to learn of Jennifer’s kiss with Ben. Given Lace’s level of obsession with Ben after knowing him only a few hours, I’m surprised her pretty little head didn’t explode. Back at the mansion, the one- on- one card arrives. To Olivia’s utter, “fresh- faced” (see picture above) astonishment, Caila gets the date instead of her. Has she seen the show? When does the person who gets the first impression rose ever get the first one- on- one? NEVER. Lace is wigging out again about Ben not paying enough attention to her. She interrupts Mandi to try to explain that she’s a “really good girl” and not the train wreck she seemed like the first night. Ben seems to feel the need to yet again explain not making eye contact with her was not intentional. You do not need to explain your perfectly reasonable behavior in the face of a completely batsh*t reaction that has nothing to do with you and everything to do with the insecurities of the bat in question. Lace apologizes to him profusely and decides they are both on the same page. They’re not even reading the same book. She’s reading Dr. Seuss and he’s reading The Purpose Driven Life (or something without pictures and likely to do with faith since that’s what he’s into). Last week he wasn’t making enough eye contact and now he’s making so much that Lace thinks they’re eye- f*cking and that he definitely wants to kiss her as much as she wants to kiss him. Ben is what is commonly referred to as a people- pleaser. Just as Lace’s imaginary kiss with Ben is about to take place, Jubilee interrupts them. And once again, Lace’s crazy comes out to play. How dare Jubilee interrupt the heavenly kiss Lace was never going to share with Ben because he’s secretly scared to death of her? Well, it’s a secret to Lace. I think the rest of us can sense his fear every time she corners him. Jubilee was an orphan and adopted in Haiti. Bring on the sob stories because they’re the only thing that serve as vulnerability in Bachelor world. The sappy music that accompanies them only makes these tales of woe seem less authentic. Not that being an orphan is inauthentic but there’s nothing like The Bachelor to make an honest life struggle seem shallow and pedestrian. The kiss between Jubilee and Ben is awkward. Ben definitely seems not into it. Lace is now complaining that she’s had “no” time with him. Is she an amnesiac as well as a psycho? Much to the dismay of the other girls, Lace goes back to talk to Ben. She still doesn’t get that never- gonna- happen kiss. Now Jo. Jo starts bitching that Lace got to talk to him twice and she hasn’t gotten to talk to him once. You haven’t tried to talk to him. I may not be a fan of psychosis but I’m also not a fan of people who sit back and do nothing and then wonder why nothing is happening. But lo and behold, Jo. Jo’s fears are for naught. Ben steals HER away for a minor rooftop getaway. Ben’s second authentic makeout session of the night. He’s into her which is then supported by the fact that she gets the date rose. Jubilee is upset because her sob story didn’t merit the rose. Lace is upset because her imaginary connection with Ben didn’t merit a rose. But she’s not giving up! Ben and Caila’s 1- on- 1. Chris Harrison has allegedly “planned” a ride- along with Ice Cube and Kevin Hart. The antics between Ice Cube and Kevin Hart are so clearly scripted I don’t laugh once. The fact that they’re only on the show to shamelessly plug their new film doesn’t increase my amusement. The four of them end up in a hot tub store somewhere in L. A. I still have concerns about her leaving her ex when she had butterflies for Ben watching him on The Bachelorette. She brings up the topic of Ben feeling unlovable without prompting and strikes right to the core of who Ben is. And then she explains the story of how she met her ex on the plane and how she came to realize that what seems like “fate” doesn’t necessarily indicate someone is the one for her. I like this girl now. Was that the first positive thing I’ve said in this review so far? It might be. I’m sorry but it’s soooo hard for me to take these shows seriously in the beginning when we have to weed through all the riff- raff to get to the good part. All I feel I can do is mock them. Ben’s stock rises when I find out what kind of music he likes. I’ve never heard of Amos Lee but his music moves my soul. I’m so grateful it’s not the typical country fare we usually have to sit through on the first 1- on- 1 of a season. I was born and raised in L. A. They kiss to Ben’s favorite song. Seriously, I think you could feel chemistry with a watermelon listening to that song but the fact that it’s two attractive decent people, I think has put Ben and Caila on the fast track to infatuation- ville. The Second Group Date. This date is actually kind of cool. A bunch of scientists have come up with a way to measure the chemistry/compatibility between two people in their “Love Lab”. I don’t think it’s the end all be all of how to decide if two people are a match but it’s interesting. Sam gets the lowest score and surprise, surprise, Olivia gets the highest compatibility score. All the girls are SUPER jealous. The nighttime portion of the date is really tense because it feels like Olivia is running away with the prize which isn’t helped by the fact that Ben steals her for some alone time first. Amanda asks where Olivia and Ben went during their alone time. Olivia doesn’t say that they went to Ben’s room to make out. She says she doesn’t want to talk about it and walks away but I can’t tell if that’s a blow- off or a classy gesture. Two Get Eliminated, One Woman Leaves On Her Own. The season premiere of The Bachelor 2. Ben Higgins meeting the 2. By the time the Jan. Ben will have already sent seven women home by not giving them a rose, and it will be down to 2. Well, by the end of the second episode, airing on Jan. Ben sends two more women home, but a third decides to leave on her own. Please let it be known that there are possible spoilers ahead for the new season of The Bachelor starring Ben Higgins. If you don’t want to know them, stop reading now. The ABC preview for the first episode details how Ben gets to not only meet the 2. But it didn’t take long for him to see that not everyone was compatible with him, though, and he sends some home. As for the second episode, Reality Steve reported that it also takes place in Los Angeles, and actually has 1. Verdugo Hills High School. Back in September, the school got on its official Twitter account and revealed their arrival. The tweet was later deleted, but the info is still out there.“Did you know The Bachelor filmed at Verdugo this weekend? This is the school for you!”It’s quite likely that ABC got a hold of them and quickly let them know that the tweet needed to be taken down. Still, there were five teams of women with Chris Harrison at the school and dressed as a professor. Teams had to compete in school subjects and one team was eliminated after each round. Here were the teams: Jubilee & Lace. Jen & LBMandi & Amber. Lauren H. Mandi ended up winning the whole thing and got to ride around the track with Ben, but it was Jo. Jo getting this group date rose.

Ice Cube and Kevin Hart showed up to promote their movie Ride Along 2 before driving the couple around and letting them have dinner. Caila ended up getting a rose. The second group date saw Ben take out Shushanna, Olivia, Sam, Haley, Emily, and Amanda for some compatibility testing. This is really kind of a weird segment where the girls are in sports bras while Ben is just in his boxers. All run on the treadmill while hooked up to wires measuring their pulse, and then Ben smells them afterward for some reason or another. Photo by Craig Sjodin/ABC via Getty Images. Olivia ends up getting the second group date rose. Leah, Lauren B., Jami, and Rachel don’t have dates in episode two. The rose ceremony eliminations for episode 2 of the 2. The Bachelor sees two women not given a rose by Ben, but three end up going home. Jackie Dion and Sam Passmore are eliminated, but one woman just leaves on her own. As Ben goes to give Lauren Barr a rose, she actually ends up turning it down. She states that the show wasn’t what she was expecting and really doesn’t want to be there anymore, so she leaves. The Bachelor 2. 01. Ben Higgins’ season is already filled with a lot of drama. After episode 2, there will be just 1. Seriously, there.
