Its been a hell of a week just in general.
The world is freezing over and Joe Biden still owes me money.
(Where is my money, Joe?
The Bacheloris a racist television program.
Did I forget anything?
As if thats a sentence that makes any fucking sense.
Im sure the producers didnt intend to create a racist television program.
But when you do something racist, your intention doesnt matter, your impact does.
And the impact of all these actions is thatThe Bacheloris a racist television program.
Chris Harrison has committed to stepping back, but what does that mean?
What is he doing to confront his racism?
We dont know what theyre doing or learning.
This show has an incredible platform and can reach a lot of people.
So the show is either hiding those conversations between Matt and Rachael or they arent having them.
Either way, were being fed a love story between a Black man and a racist woman.
So lets get to it?!??!?!?!?
Briefly?!?!?!??!
Lets revel in everyones discomfort.
Meanwhile, Pieper is breaking down because she felt so invisible when Heather interrupted her.
Yup, there are no weird racial dynamics there.
The rest of the ladytestants make Heather stand before them and answer for her crimes.
Everyone else has been there for at least 19 days and Heather just got there.
And reality is wearing an asymmetric 90s-inspired dress from ASOS and is fucking pissed.
Its time for the rose ceremony.
Serena C. and Chelsea are going home!
The next morning, everyone is on edge after being emotionally manipulated for six episodes.
They are all shivering shelter puppies who just want to find a warm home.
There will be two one-on-one dates and a group date.
Abigail is worried that she hasnt gotten a one-on-one date even though she got the first-impression rose.
This man has so little game its painful.
He admires her honesty, and she gets the rose.
Pieper, Michelle, Rachael, Bri, Kit, and Abigail all get the group-date card.
Are you FUCKING KIDDING ME?
Abigail doesnt get the one-on-one?
Abigail is broken down.
And worst of all, the big group-date activity is … sitting around with Matt on a sectional.
Abigail asks him, So whats going on here?
I liked you so much I dated other people?
What a majorly fuckboy thing to say to someone and expect it to be comforting.
He doesnt want to lead her on, which is precisely what happened.
He walks her out.
JUSTICE FOR ABIGAIL!!!
Rachael gets the group-date rose and a special post-group-date surprise.
Has that ever happened before?
After the after-date, Kit realizes that shes not all the way into the relationship and self-eliminates.
We are losing people and fast on this episode.
Finally, its time for Jessenias one-on-one date.
They go Tokyo drifting and make out on the hood of the car.
Matt screams in excitement throughout the whole date until its time to sit down and talk about feelings.
He cant hide the feelings of trepidation on his big turtle-esque face.
Jessenia feels blindsided, and shes not going to be the last one.
Its time for the final rose ceremony and everyone looks tired, pissed, and completely drained.
There isnt a cocktail party because Matt is ready to follow his heart.
He knows what he has to do.
Bri and Michelle get the final roses of the week, and that means Pieper is going home.
He walks her out and neither of them exchange a word.
What a weird send-off for someone who was this close to hometowns.
She gets in the limo and says she should have stuck to being unemotional because now shes hurting.
Next week is hometowns and the whole preview is edited like a horror movie!
See you next week?!?!?!?!?
