all: Charity!
- Whoo! - Dude, this is it, man.

who made a great enough connection with Charity
to get that next opportunity.
- I can't wait to, like, get on an individual date,
get on a group date, and be able to show more of myself.

Night one, when I came out and flipped my lucky coin,
like, I didn't see anything else.
I didn't see the limo. I didn't see the front door.
I've just never had a connection start that fast.

especially if they don't get that one-on-one date
this week and they didn't get that time--

You know, how is she feeling, making sure she's OK.

Look at this. [laughter]

So I was just grateful to be one of those guys
that got time with her,

speak before I think.

- Can I just ask you real quick, Brayden,
what's up with the outfit today?
What are we going for? [laughter]

it's time to get to know Charity a little bit better.

one of you will be her fiancé.
That's certainly what Charity wants, right?
With that said, we got some dates this week.

There are gonna be two group dates.
And there is going to be
one incredibly romantic one-on-one date.
If you get the one-on-one date, you are a very lucky man.
Now, as always, roses are gonna be up for grabs
at each of the dates.
So to get this thing started, I got a date card right here.

flirting with other guys and,
you know, just taking advantage of--

I was trying to be vulnerable.
I was trying to, you know,
be a better emotional person for them.
And, uh, yeah.
- I'm sorry.
- It just--it just hurt.
So with you, these conversations
that I'm having, being open is just something
that's kind of new to me, this early on especially.
- Yeah. - But you've been so great.
And I just know, at this point, like,
you're someone that I can see as that safe place, so--
- I love that. I commend you.
- That was a tough one, you know.
- I commend you so much because that's so hard.
Like, and I don't even want to, like,
give the stereotype of, like, men.
But, like, I know a lot of men don't go to therapy
and let alone will, like, vocalize
that they're out of place or ever being low.
So like, this is, like, the--this is the real.
This is real vulnerability, like truly.
Talking about going to therapy,
it surprised me, like, honestly.
After the day we spent together,
I would have never, like, guessed
that that was what he was going to share with me tonight.
But I'm so appreciative of it because there's nothing
more attractive than someone who is going
to put in the work to become a better person
for their future partner.
And that is what I'm looking for in a man.
I relate so much to you in the sense
that I had to really find out
the definition of, like, self-love.
Like, what is that?
Like, I was not giving myself that at all.
And, like, that's why I'm so adamant
about finding my person.
That's why I'm so adamant about what it is that I want.

Like, although we weren't each other's person,
like, I love who I am now.
I'm the best version of myself.
And I only want to continue to get better
and become a better person
with a person who can meet me there.

- Who's gonna build a sand castle for me?
- I'll build you a sand castle.
Let's do it.
- Oh! - Oh!
- I got the First Impression Rose.
I got to have a moment with her that was cool.
This is pretty fun, but let's just say,
I hope I go on as few group dates as possible,
and maybe she just, like, decides
that this season she's gonna give all the one-on-ones to me.
I'm just kidding. But, no, not really.
I'm not kidding, but you know. I'm not kidding at all.
- Hut, hut!
- Oh, my God!
[all yelling]
- Today's date is going great.
- That was good!
- But it's not about spending time
with her one-on-one right now.
That's later, and I can't wait.
- Whoo! [air horn blares]
- Hoo-hoo! - Oh, no.
- Really? - Where did he come from?
- So we're just having a good time, enjoying the beach.
And all of sudden, I see Jesse.
That can't be a good sign.
- You guys doing OK? - Yeah.
- So far so good. - All right.
Fellas, we're gonna mix things up a little bit
and introduce a little friendly competition here
for Charity's heart.
- Ooh. - Oh!
- You're all gonna be going head to head
in a dodgeball game.
[all cheering]
- Let's go!
- And this is not gonna be just any dodgeball game.
No, no, no, you are competing
in the Fourth Annual Bachelorette DodgeBowl.
- Ooh! - Oh!
- And the stakes could not be higher.
Because the winning team gets to go to the after-party--
- With me!
- And then for the losing team,
it is going to be a very lonely and very sad ride
back to the mansion.
- Oh.
- Ah, there's one thing I forgot, though.
- [laughs] - We gotta get your uniforms.
[men groaning]
[laughter]
- Oh, God.
- Oh, my God.
- I got people at home that are gonna
watch this [bleep] and say, what the [bleep] is going on?
- Head on over to the change area.
Put on your uniforms.
And sports cups are mandatory.
- Can I get two cups? - Where does the cup go?
- I goes on the thing.
- It's important to impress Charity today.
I mean, it's important to win. We get extra time.
So stakes are high.
DodgeBowl, let's go, baby!
[dramatic music]
- Throughout time, history has shown
that love can be hit or miss,
clearly seen in the quest for Desiree's hand.
Then the battle raged on for Becca,
as the men proved they had dodgeballs of steel.
- [groans]
- I think we should play strip dodgeball.
- Oh!
- But nothing compared to Clare's DodgeBowl 3,
where one man was not a fan.
- Naked dodgeball.
If my daughter saw me doing that,
if my family saw me doing that,
like, think of the thought that they would have.
It's just completely unacceptable
and completely classless.
- It's all led to this.
Winners get the after-party. Losers don't.

I got 12 excellent views. And it's looking good.
Whoo, child. [laughs]

Liz, the stakes simply could not be higher.

but also someone who's gonna display great sportsmanship.
- Let's go, fellas. Let's go.
- I want to get that personal time with Charity.

The green team's about to turn into the red team, bro,

It's time to play some dodgeball.

And guess who played dodgeball all the time?
Me.
I'm not trying to lose.
- Come on, Caleb.
He goes for the legs!

You guys are killing it.

Charity right there!

They're impressing the hell out of me.

And it was back and forth for a minute.
- Catch that. Let's go!
Let's go!
- Yeah!
- Winner, Pink Team!
- It's the Pink Team leading 2 to 1.
- 2 to 1.
Today, I've seen how much they want to be here.
And that makes me excited. It makes me hopeful.
- It's one versus one, John versus Adrian.
- Oh!
- And what a dodge by Adrian!
- I haven't played dodgeball for years.
But I'm doing this for Charity.
Hoo, the things you do for love, man.
- He's got nothing!
- Let's go, John!
- Oh!
John eliminated!
And the Green Team stays alive.
[dramatic music]
All right, so here we are.
The team that wins this next game
is the team that's going to be going to the after-party.
- Whoo! Yes, it is.
- The winners get to spend
basically the rest of the evening with Charity.
And it's Charity's decision for who the MVP is.
So I'm gunning as hard as I possibly can.
[whistle blows] - And here we go.
The Green Team deciding to lay back.
- Go for Caleb. Go for Caleb.
- Caleb is a frickin' machine.
But, hey, I'm on Pink Team.
I don't like to lose. I'm not losing, man.
I'll see y'all tonight. - One, two, three, go!
[all exclaiming] - Oh!
- Oh, bombardment!
- Caleb B. is out the game.
Wow, the Pink Team comes out swinging here.
- I am on the edge of my seat.
I'm like, who's about to pull through and really show me,
like, OK, I want this time with Charity.
How am I gonna get there? What is it gonna take?
- All right.
Another Green Team out.
Two! They're down to one!
- Oh, yeah! That's three!
- Adrian got three people out with one ball.
And I'm like, what the [bleep], bro?
- Can Adrian save the Green Team?
- The lone wolf.
- If I lose this dodgeball game,
I won't get a rose, I won't go to the after-party.
That's not happening. We gon' win.
I mean, we got me. We good.
[all chanting] MVP, MVP!
- You know you aren't gonna win!
Just give up! Just give up!
Let's go!
- And with the catch, it is the Pink Team
that will be going to the after-party.
- That's what I'm talking about!
- Me and the boys are celebrating
because we know we 'bout to go to the after-party
and get extra time.
- Pink Team, it'll be you who join Charity,
where, of course, a Group Date Rose
is up for grabs.
But that's not all.
There is an MVP of the DodgeBowl.
- The strongest person here is definitely Caleb.
I will be shocked, honestly, if he does not
get this MVP right now.
- So for me, it was a person that stood out
and truly did not give up.
[tense music]
So that is Adrian.
- Adrian will be joining the Pink Team.
Congratulations, fellas.
You're taking home the trophy.
Green Team, I'm sorry, guys.
Off you go.
- I know how to pop it!
- This definitely sucks.
[cheering]
- I felt like I did everything I could do
to either win or get the MVP, and I didn't.
[all chanting] MVP, MVP!
[cheering]
- I wanted to be at the after-party
that Charity is at,
that I get to talk to her, I get to see
if this is gonna be my future wife.

- All right, follow me.
- Cool. - [laughs]
Today has been a great day.
The group date went fantastic.
A lot of effort was put in today on the sand,
which makes me so happy.
All right, here we are.
And tonight there is a Group Date Rose up for grabs.
So I am looking forward to just having some, really,
first conversations with a lot of these guys,
but also, for the connections that have been formed,
diving into more to find out who's on the same page with me
and truly ready for engagement and forever love.
I just want to start off by saying
I had the best time today.
I got to see you guys really step up to the plate,
bear it all.
Truly bear it all. [laughter]
But, Adrian, obviously, you being MVP, you're here.
So all of that I did recognize.
And so let's cheers to getting to know
each other more tonight.
Cheers. - Cheers to us.
- Cheers. [laughter]
♪
- Tonight, Adrian was here.
And I don't think he deserved the MVP.
And it's so difficult for me to, like, deal with that.
- How are you? - I'm doing good.
But the first night with Charity,
I got the First Impression Rose, you know.
And so I think I have a lot stronger
of a connection with her.
So I'm definitely excited to actually get time
to spend with her one-on-one and really have a conversation.
How did you feel today? - It was good.
- Yeah? - Yeah, I had fun.
Did you? - I did.
I had fun.
I think, you know, I was bummed out because I was like,
you know, I gotta share you.
I know I gotta share you. - I know.
- No, but, like, just getting to sit down and, like--
- Mm-hmm.
- Get to hear you talk about yourself too.
- Mm-hmm, we have time now, so that's--
- No, like, I want to know it all.
I'm like--it's like-- - Mm-hmm.
I feel like you have questions. Ask.
- I do.
As much as I was, like, super excited
about getting the First Impression Rose, like,
after that moment, I got in my head so bad.
I was like, oh, my God. - You did not.
I mean, obviously, that's why I freaking gave it to you.
Because I was like, I felt it.
Like, it was such a good, like, first conversation.
And we were, like, goofing, and I love that
because you know I'm very, very goofy.
So I was like, OK, like, I feel comfortable around him.
And I love that.
- I definitely am crushing on you.
And I definitely want to-- - You're crushing, ooh.
- I am. I was--hey.
- I mean, I'm very attracted to you.
And it's like, I want to explore what further
connections we can have.
- Absolutely. Thank you.
Thank you for being here.
Honestly, I'm so happy.
- Are you? - I really am.
- Really? - Yeah.
- That's kind of what I wanted to say.
I'm like, you know? - [laughs]
It's all I wanted to say.
- [laughs] - [mumbling]
- Yeah. - Mm.
[soft music]
I feel really good. I'm crushing, you know?
And she's such a good kisser.
It's kind of like, you know, like the movie "Avatar,"
when they, like, connect their braids and they're like,
"I see you."
This that movie moment.
And now, I'm very sure I am her number one pick.
[laughs] I'm a two-year-old.
I'm a [bleep] two-year-old. But anyways, it felt good.
- I was so surprised with you today.
- Thank you.
- How well you were embracing it.
- Well, people don't know, I played
professional basketball for a year.
- It all makes sense.
Like, you were actually truly thriving because...
- Thank you. [laughs]
- You have a background with it.
- Yeah. - Oh, my goodness.
- I played some sports in my life.
- Played some?
- Did you play any sports growing up?
- I only did cheerleading competitively.
- That counts. - Yeah.
- OK, so we got the athletic genes going.
- We do have a little bit, yeah.
- You're not the only one. - Just a little.
Oh, my goodness. Wait, I love this.
- Yeah, well, before we leave, I wanted to make sure
that I got a kiss in, at least.
- Absolutely.
♪
In this moment, I'm so happy.
With John, he really did show a different side of himself.
And he did take the lead in initiating a little kiss.
So that definitely took me by surprise in the best way.
So far tonight, like, I truly feel so lucky.
It makes me hopeful.
- I feel like that Group Date Rose is looking really good.
And I think we all want it.
- If I don't get it right now,
what does that mean about where her head's at with me?
You know what I'm saying?
I got the First Impression Rose.
And then, like, to go from having
the First Impression Rose to not be, like--
not be on the one-on-one date, it was hard for me.
- Do you think it would have been realistic
to get the First Impression Rose
and then the one-on-one?
- I mean, yeah.
Like, I mean, maybe I sound like a spoiled brat.
But it's like, you know, it's like,
I don't want a First Impression Rose,
I want your time, you know?
A rose gives you a little bit of validation,
but it's like, you know, a drop in the ocean.
- The importance of it is super significant
because it's almost guaranteeing,
like, more time, right?
Like, and also the validation, the validation
that she is interested, right, and she wants to learn more.
And so it's kind of like, I had an MVP type of day,
but I want to continue MVP,
and possibly even get that rose tonight.
- I mean, I'm happy for you, bro.
But I'm just saying, Caleb was also one of the people
that was in the running for MVP.
I mean, that guy, he was doing some damage.
No offense, man, I wouldn't have picked you as MVP.
I mean, no, I'm just like, I mean, you did good.
Hey, again, I'm not claiming I was MVP either.
I'm just saying, his athleticism,
I was impressed by it, you know what I'm saying?
- So why do you feel like-- why do you feel like
I'm here and he's not here?
- I mean, I'm not trying to be like, you know--
I'm just saying, like, I mean, he was--he performed well.
You know, I'm not trying to throw shade, man.
- Hey, listen, I don't--
I don't-- I don't choose the MVP.
But my team was calling me MVP before I got the MVP.
So it was like, they were saying it.
- I feel like I understand how those NBA players feel like,
you know, when a dude gets traded mid-season,
and he still gets a chip, you know,
he still gets that ring.
- Brayden is totally acting like a child.
And I don't think he's ready for a relationship
with Charity.
It seems like he's here for spring break.
You can kind of tell, like, those people
that's really serious and those people that's not.
- Here.
- I know I'm here for the right reasons.
You know, my daughter made me super soft
and more, like, open, and more in touch with my feelings.
- How are you? - I'm good.
How are you? - Good.
- It's like, I'm ready to settle down.
I'm ready to really get serious.
You know, just being here and being in this environment.
Right? - Mm-hmm.
- Like, it's kind of hard because I didn't come here to,
like, kick it with the guys, you know what I mean?
I came here for you, right? - Mm-hmm.
- So I sacrificed a lot to come here, you know?
- Mm-hmm.
- And one of those sacrifices is that I have a daughter.
- OK. - You know?
So it's like, that's my everything.
- Yeah.
- So that was really, really hard for me to leave.
- I definitely, like... - Yeah.
- I respect you so much...
- Oh, for sure. - For even coming here.
Because I can't imagine how hard that was.
That's huge.
Like, thank you for sharing that with me.
And I appreciate you, like,
just diving in with that, honestly.
- Yeah, nah, because it's like, for me,
I'm thinking about not spending time with my daughter.
Like, you know what I mean?
And it's like, guys are here playing games.
And it's weird. - Yeah.
- Like, you know?
- Well, what's--like tell me like what is weird about it?
- It's like vacation home. It's like spring break.
Like, it's like just having a blast, you know what I mean?
Flipping in the pool. - Mm-hmm, yeah.
- I'm not here to play games with y'all.
Like, I'm not here for that. It's not a vacation for me.
- Do you feel like, because that's happening,
like, you feel like their intentions aren't, like--
- I can't-- - Being here for me, or like--
- I can't say. I don't know.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - I feel like you're smart.
I feel like you'll be able to figure that out.
- OK. - I mean, like even night one.
- Yeah.
- I mean, you made your choice, you know.
- Adrian alluded to people being here
and treating this experience and this journey
of finding love like it's spring break.
Truly was not what I was expecting to hear.
That could mean people aren't here for the right reasons.
I don't know.
I don't have that insight right now.
But this is an engagement at the end of this.
So I want to make it clear to the guys here
that this isn't a game.
I'm not here for anything else.
- I would like the first Group Date Rose,
just sitting there, having a real conversation,
and having that moment, it was great.
It was, like--because that's the reason I'm here.
- I vibe with her.
I vibed with her again here.
I'm just focusing on that, you know?
- Hi. - Hey.
- Hey!
- Come in this way.
[tense music]
Thank you, guys, for such an amazing day.
But tonight, there were some things
that were shared with me that there might be
people here treating this like a spring break.
If that is the case, like, I don't want that.
I'm not interested in that.
I want to make it very clear my purpose is solely
for me finding my person.
You all, hopefully, should be here for that as well.
So...
[somber music]
Excuse me.
- I feel pretty good.
I think she appreciated the vulnerability.
She appreciated the honesty.
So I think it's a strong possibility
that I could possibly get the rose.
- So with that being said,
John, will you accept the group date Rose?
- Absolutely. - OK.
- Thank you so much. Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.
OK.
- It's tough to know that Charity came away
from this date with a sour taste in her mouth.
And I don't want this uncertainty
in her mind to play into any of my connection with her.
But it's a bit of a shock, honestly,
because the idea that guys could be here
for spring break is troubling, for sure.
- I don't feel like those words were meant for me.
You know what I'm saying?
If that is a true fact, that needs to be vetted,
and that person needs to go.
- I just think, like, I mean, from my observation,
I do see a lot of playing in the house.
You know what I'm saying?
But again, I'm a totally different person
than everybody else.
[tense music]
It's not a spring break for me.
You know what I mean?
- I'm very carefree.
I don't think we need to be here
and be solemn at the house.
I want somebody who loves me
for the way that I look at life.
- You know who you are.
It's time to get serious if you're not serious.
Because obviously, she's looking for something real.
And if you're not, then that's it.
Like, stop wasting time.
♪
Everybody's kind of, like, figuring out,
like, damn, who said something?
Like, who's talking bad about us?
And in my mind, it's super important
that Charity find someone that's willing and ready
to go on this journey with.
And I think at this point, the true intentions
are gonna shine more than anything.
[dramatic music]
[soft guitar music]
- The group date yesterday was difficult for me.
To hear, like, some of the guys are kind of treating this
like it's vacation, and it's not.
I'm here to find love.
I'm here to further connections.
So I want them to understand that
and to really take advantage of those moments.
But I'm going to try and shift gears
and look outward towards today's group date.
The only thing I know about today's date
is that we are in a park in downtown LA.
The weather is beautiful. I'm looking great.
And Gabby and Rachel are here.
- Hi! - Hi.
- Oh, my goodness! Hi!
- You look gorgeous. - So nice to see you.
I'm excited to talk to Gabby and Rachel today
because they've been on this side of things,
and they understand the focus today is connection.
And hopefully, they have some pointers
on what to look out for for today.
- We have a really fun date for you.
- OK. - There's gonna be an audience.
There's gonna be men. - Always.
- There's gonna be a ton of surprises.
- I mean, I don't know what's going on.
I have no idea what we're doing.
[laughs]
I am feeling a little nervous
going into today's date blind.
But I am just gonna go with the flow.
I know the guys will be excited to see me.
And I cannot wait to see them.
- Oh, here they come.
- Ah! - Like, run!
- I'm so excited to see Charity.
I'm on a date with John Henry, Michael,
Warwick, Joey, and Spencer.
- That's Michael.
- Whoo!
- Come on!
- A huge crowd comes out.
The sea parts,
and at the parting of the sea, you see Charity.
- Hi, boys!
- She looks unbelievable.
- I don't know what we're doing, so--
- Well, we're terrified. [laughter]
- Really?
- Gabby and I are obviously huge fans of Charity.
And I think our main job today
is just seeing which one of you
has the best chemistry with her.
- So today, the one man who impresses us
and Charity the most will have an opportunity
to break a record in Bachelor Nation history.
- I'm curious now. - Are you excited?
- I'm excited, of course.
- Do you guys want to know what we're doing today?
- Yeah. - Yes!
- All right. - Me too.
I want to know. [laughs]
- Who Charity chooses will have the opportunity
to break the record for the longest kiss
in Bachelor Nation history ever.
[bell ringing]
[upbeat music]
♪
- I am going to have the longest kiss
in Bachelor history.
Ah!
- Everybody's gonna be so jealous.
- I'm a great kisser.
And I think if I get the opportunity to kiss Charity,
she's gonna, yeah, maybe faint.
- This huge record was set by one
of our most successful Bachelors,
Sean Lowe.
- Three, two, one!
[bell ringing]
- What's the record? - Yeah, that's a good question.
- It's 3 minutes and 27 seconds.
It's honestly not that bad, I feel.
- Yeah.
- I mean, especially with Charity, come on.
- Yeah, easy.
- I'm kind of nervous, you know what I mean?
I've never kissed her yet, and now I might
get the opportunity to have the longest kiss?
If she's not into it, I might as well get on a plane.
- I mean, for me, I felt a connection
with her on night one.
And I wish I did lean in for a kiss.
- You thought about it. - It was--yeah.
The first kiss means a lot to me.
I really do hope that this is going
to be the turning point of the rest of our story.
I'm hoping it's gonna be our first kiss.
- So today we have a few questions
we're going to ask you to get to know you
a little bit better and to hopefully help
Charity make her decision. - Ooh.
- Only one of you is gonna win that extra special time.
- It's not what I imagined my first kiss
with Charity would be like.
But I've been dreaming of the moment
I get to kiss Charity, so I'm hoping that it's today.
- All right, our first question is...
Wrong answers only.
[laughter]
One, two, three.
- "Behind the neck." "Under the ear."
"Low back." "Hip," ooh.
They got the whole body.
- I like the head, like, the ear and the neck region.
So I think Michael is on it. - All right, Michael.
- What makes a good kiss for Charity?
So here's our PowerPoint.
Physical touch, you need to, like, grab my face,
my hands, my body.
We like tongue action, but not too much, not too much.
I like when you pull back and come back for more.
This is too descriptive, but we're doing great.
- OK, next question.
- Ooh!
- I want to hear this one.
- Wait, these are so sweet. "Smile."
"The fire in her eyes."
Wait, these are all good.
- Yeah. - These are all really good.
- Having a kiss that's more than three minutes
is a little nerve-rattling.
Charity wasn't expecting it,
which makes it that much better.
- "The last first kiss."
- Aw. - Cute.
- Who wouldn't want a kiss with Charity for three minutes?
Like, that's a long time.
And it's going to leave an impression.
- OK, we want to see you show us your ultimate make-out.
[trills]
- Oh!
[crowd screaming]
- Oh, he's using the mic!
- I'm a little hot.
[laughs]
Oh, we are in.
Oh, my gosh.
Joey is really engaged in today's group date.
- I know. He's so beautiful.
- He will not stop staring at me
like it's just only me and him.
That is extremely attractive to me.
- Well, we have one more activity left.
You'll have a minute to tell us a story about a kiss,
your best kiss, your worst kiss.
This is huge, you guys.
I mean, you guys better bring it.
- My girlfriend, who was my high school sweetheart
at the time, studied abroad.
And finally, she had returned.
I remember her walking down the tunnel.
It was the best kiss I've ever had.
- Aw, sweet. - Aw.
- The first kiss is always a tough thing.
But all I want to do is make an impression on Charity.
- I'm standing there with the teddy bear, with the flowers,
and I tell her, "You light up my world."
- Oh, that's so sweet.
- You're my dream girl.
[crowd cheering]
It's an admiration, but I'm hoping it becomes romantic.
- This kiss is a great opportunity
for me to stand out and show her how much I care about her.
I'm doing something completely different.
So mine will-- mine will stand out.
It's a big opportunity.
And I'm hoping I'm lucky enough to get that chance.
I'm not one, usually, to talk about my past.
But there is one kiss I do want to talk about.
- That's OK. - Yeah, I'm--
[laughter] I'm waking up.
I'm feeling good. It's a beautiful day.
But I got nerves because there's this girl that--
she's the only thing on my mind.
She's the only person I can think about.
And she looks unbelievable.
She's wearing a beautiful dress.
It's got some sparkles on it.
- Me!
- And all I can think about is how beautiful her smile is,
how much she lights up the room.
And the craziest thing is,
that kiss was the longest kiss in Bachelor history.
[laughter] - Yeah!
- Forever!
[soft music]
- Charity, do you feel like you've heard enough
to make a good decision?
- You know, I think I have heard enough.
So today, the person that stood out the most,
that had very sincere answers
is Joey.
[cheers and applause]
So-- [laughs]
- This is awesome.
I'm gonna be breaking the record
for the longest Bachelor kiss.
- All right, you guys, Charity and Joey
are about to make Bachelor Nation history,
having the longest kiss.
- Yeah!
- I'm excited. I'm ready.
I'm here to win Charity's heart.
- Go!
[bell ringing]
[cheers and applause]

- This sucks.
- They don't need a stopwatch.
They're gonna go until infinity.
- I don't want to watch, like, two of my best friends kiss,
let alone someone who I like kiss someone else who I like.
- We have some hair grabbing!
We have some waist action.
- I don't think I've ever experienced
having to sit through watching somebody else
kiss somebody that you want to be doing the same with.
- Oh, my God.
My mouth hurts just looking at 'em.
- Seeing her kiss someone is really tough.
I put my heart on the line.
Hopefully, I'm here long enough to find my Joey moment.

- All right, you guys, get a room.
- It's not easy to kiss Charity in front of the other guys.
But all I'm focusing on is Charity.
[bell ringing]
- You guys have already broken it, but don't stop now!
- They're not stopping.
- Kissing Charity feels amazing.
She looks amazing.
I feel like the luckiest guy ever.
I'm just lost in the moment.

The time was 4 minutes and 25 seconds!

- Me and Joey just broke the longest kiss
in Bachelor history.
That's a long kiss.
Why did no one tell us to stop?
- [laughs]
- How do you feel?
- That was amazing.
- Today was absolutely not what I expected.
Just got to make the most of the time with her tonight.
- We do have one more surprise.
In true Bachelor fashion,
Joey will be getting a one-on-one tonight.
- Oh, my God!
- No way!
Seeing her kiss somebody else on stage stings.
But I thought I would get more time with her today.
And so that's what really sucks.
- Bye, guys!
[both chanting] Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss,
kiss, kiss, kiss!
- Yeah!
- Hopefully, it's over, honestly.
- I think it was a two-part date.
They did the competition. They went to a cocktail party.
Someone got a Group Date Rose. And they're all coming back.
[tense music]
- I hope they all got a decent amount of time
to be with Charity, and...
- I don't.
- Help Charity make the right decision.
all: Oh!
- Look who's home.
- I bet you didn't expect to see us.
- Speak of the devil.
- [bleep], dude. - You're back early, boys.
What's going on? - I called that.
- Notice who's missing. - Damn.
- Yeah, spill the beans. What the hell happened?
- Spill the beans, John Henry.
- We had a little competition.
And it was the longest kiss in Bachelor Nation history.
- OK, I don't want hear any more.
- So anyways, Joey killed it.
And we just all had to just watch them kiss.
- Hell no. - That's--
- So Joey won.
And this has turned into a one-on-one.
So--
- For most of it, it was a great date.
- Yeah, you know, she got to see our personality.
It was interacting with Charity the whole time.
- How can you be glad for that, bro?
I could not be--I mean,
to have to sit there and frickin' watch somebody?
Like, that's not cool, man.
I don't know.
I don't know how anyone could sit there and say
that they're OK with watching a girl they're dating
make out with other dudes.
It makes you feel like a chump.
It's like, there's boundaries, you know?
I feel like a punk just having to hear about it, you know?
- So what would you have done, thrown a fit and walked away?
- I wouldn't have thrown a fit,
but I'm not gonna sit there and watch, bro.
- How can you argue about how he felt about it, bro?
- I'm not arguing how he felt.
- Like, I don't agree with how you feel.
Bro, respect what this man is saying.
- Adrian, I'm not upset about how this man is feeling, bro.
I'm upset about the situation, bro,
a four-minute-long kiss, bro.
- You said that you don't agree with his feelings.
Is that not what you said?
- I'm saying that does not sound
like a great date to me, bro.
If I was in that situation, I wouldn't have thrown a fit,
but I'm not gonna sit there and watch it.
I was angry for 'em, you know? I'm angry for me.
I feel like they were disrespected.
I'm not gonna put up with someone
disrespecting another human being in any regard.
And tonight, I'm gonna go, and I'm gonna pack my bags.
To be honest, I don't know if this is someone
that I can have a relationship with.
[dramatic music]
- How was that for you?
- It was out of my comfort zone.
- Yeah. - But, like, I had a blast.
Are you kidding? - Yeah, it was awesome.
- The greatest time. - For sure.
- And you handled it like a champ.
- Thank you to say that. That's good to hear.
- [laughs]
- I was only looking at you the entire time.
- I know. I noticed that.
I was like-- - I'm glad you did.
- Like, that's the thing that just matters is, like,
you were just happy to be there.
- Yeah. - Happy to be with me.
Like, that's really what-- - Well, that's a given.
- I mean. [laughs]
Well, hopefully, I would hope.
But honestly, like, you embraced it, for sure.
[laughs]
- I want to kiss you again now. - I know you do.
I'm like, we're staring.
[soft guitar music]
- I'm feeling attraction, excitement,
definitely just that connection,
that not wanting to let her go type feeling.
I didn't expect the day to turn into the opportunity
to win an amazing kiss with her.
I didn't expect this night to turn
into an intimate one-on-one.
Tonight, I'm just gonna keep trying
to show her that I'm here to make a connection with her.
I have something that maybe will
kind of surprise her and let her know
a little bit more about me.
It's a tough thing to share, but I'm an open guy,
and I'm not holding anything back through this experience.
Well, I would love to, like, build a little bit more
off the convo we had on the first night.
- Mm-hmm.
- Because like you said, we did share
those connections, right?
- Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
- I think the big one for me was talking about family.
- Yeah.
- Like, it's obviously something
really important in your life.
- Mm-hmm.
- And it's--I think it defined me, you know?
I think it's a big part of who I am.
- Yeah.
- So I really do want to share more about that.
- OK.
- So I grew up in a household
where my parents were divorced.
I think a lot of times that can be viewed
as being in a broken home.
But I felt love from both of them.
And I think it's also important to share, like,
why they ended up breaking up.
- Mm-hmm.
- So my parents broke up actually
because my dad came out.
So my dad, when I was about in kindergarten,
came out as gay.
And it was obviously the reason why
my parents decided to separate.
And I think it shares about, like, their connection
because it was still strong.
There was obviously a outlying reason
why they ended up ending it between them.
- Right, yeah.
- And you can't really do anything about that.
But it's amazing to see the love
they still have for each other.
- That's beautiful.
- And what was so amazing was how they were
just such great parents to us.
- Yeah.
- Like, all it was was based on was love.
- Yeah. - And it taught me, like...
- That's beautiful. - How important love is.
- Yeah.
- And my dad is now someone
that I talk to about everything.
- I love that.
- He's my favorite person to really speak to
when I'm in a tough time.
And it's made me now a really more loving
and accepting person.
- I love that.
- And it's--yeah, it's a big part of me.
- Yeah.
- So I've always been a loving person.
But it really did open me up and want to always be, like,
to understand what's going on within,
not just on the outside.
- Absolutely. - Yeah.
- Thank you for sharing that.
And that's one of the things that I noticed
right off the bat is how much love I feel like
you have on the inside of you.
When it comes to family, like, the common denominator is love.
- Yeah. - Like, love is very different.
And it comes in different forms.
And my parents are my role models when it comes to love.
They've been married for 48 years.
So it's a long time.
And, you know, that number is insane to say.
And it's like, that's not common in this day and age.
But to see that example of love, like, is so huge.
And when it comes to, like, my partner, like,
that's like the foundation.
Like, that's what we're building our life off of.
- For sure. It's important.
And I'm realizing how much I need that in the person...
- Yeah. - That I want to be with.
♪
- Honestly, today has been so good, so special.
And I just want to thank you for being so willing
to be vulnerable with me.
And for me, that's, like, all that I'm looking for,
truly, in a partner.
And you made me feel really good.
I feel the same with you.
I feel very comfortable, at ease with you.
And that's important.
So, Joey, will you accept this rose?
- Yes, absolutely.
♪
- All right. Thank you.
There is nothing in me that is second-guessing
how I feel in this moment or feel about Joey.
I really do feel safe with him.
And last night, being told that some people
were treating like a vacation or a spring break mindset,
that was hard for me.
But Joey is not holding back with me.
He is very open.
He's very honest.
He's here for me, like 100%.
Like, there's-- I'm very clear on that.
I truly feel so blessed.
And I'm so lucky and hopeful for where
things can continue to grow.

[birds chirping]
- Joey, you've made out with Charity
longer than I've spoken to her.
[laughter] Which, that sucks.
There's a Rose Ceremony tonight.
You have guys that have had one-on-ones with Charity.
She's picking guys that she truly feels
that could be her husband in the future.
I really need to make an impact,
really need to show her I am here for her
and she can feel confident in that.
- Caw-caw! - [laughs]
- That's a knee slapper.
After hearing what happened last night,
they came back with their tails between their legs.
Breaking a kissing record, and you come back and you say,
I guess it was still good, though.
And I'm like how the [bleep] is that good?
- Oh! - Fellas, what's up?
- Hey! - Jesse!
- Why don't you come join me in the living room?
- Yeah, yeah.
- I do have a lot of things I want to talk
to Charity about tonight.
- How you doing, buddy? Good to see you.

then I'm just gonna get up and go home.

- Well, how are we all feeling, fellas?
- Feeling good. - Yeah.
- Very good, yeah. - All right, look.
I know you guys weren't expecting to see me,
but the truth is I've got some good news for you.
- Let's do it. - All right.
- Let's do it. - I also got some bad news.
- Oh. - I figured.
- The bad news is, I spoke to Charity.
There's not gonna be a cocktail party tonight.
- Oh, wow.
- Good news, though, there's gonna be a barbecue today.
And she's on her way over here right now.
So you're all gonna have to get ready.

Fire up the grill. Have some fun.
I wish you all luck.
I hope to see you at the Rose Ceremony.
See you, fellas.
- Thanks, Jesse. - See you.
- There is no cocktail party.
And instead, it's a barbecue party.
- What's the vibe? This is a little dangerous.
This is a little... - That's risky, that's risky.
- Devil may care, man on a yacht.
- I knew he-- - Yes!
- Ah! - [laughs]
- Oh, my God!
- There's nothing wrong with, uh,
oiling up some corn with the boys.
- I'm a simple man-- tailgates, barbecues,
hanging out, sun's out.
So thank God buns aren't out today.
It should be a good day.
I'm excited for Charity to get here.
- Hello, hello.
- Uh-oh! [all cheering]
- Hi!
It's party time!
Hi! - Hello.
- How are you doing? - Good to see you.
Hi. - You look great.
- Thank you.
- Charity looks incredible.
I'm smiling ear-to-ear right now.
I'm so excited.
- Hello. - Hi, Charity.
- How are you?
- I'm on my tippy toes.
- Yeah. - I'm like, you're so tall.
- Getting to have some fun with Charity in a week
where it's been pretty freaking crazy, I'm pumped.
- Buns out. Buns out, sun's out.
Put some pineapple on there. - Yeah.
- And then, this is the done stack right here.
- OK, bet.
- What are you sipping on? Mimosa?
- Mimosa. - Oh, you're keeping it cute.
It's been a great week.
It's been one of the best weeks of my life.
Off to a good start.
I'm feeling so good.
Thank you.
And it's important that I focus on the connections
that I do have already, but also the ones that I don't.
- I do want to start off saying that thank you for--
- Yeah.
- Obviously, just the whole experience.
And I know you're taking it in stride.
- Yeah. - And I'm having a great time.
- Good.
- I was completely uncertain that I was gonna do this.
And in fact, I was leaning towards no.
- Mm-hmm.
- Until, genuinely, I saw you.
That you were the Bachelorette. - Mm-hmm.
- And that's what sealed the deal for me.
I was a little jealous of the guys that were able
to go on the date yesterday because they were able
to, you know, show a little bit more of who they are.
- Yeah.
- And so I want to just hit you with some realness
about who I really am.
- Mm-hmm. - And where I come from.
- Yeah.
- And so, you know, I brought this card with me
that I take with me everywhere.
- Oh.
- And this is my most cherished possession.
- Oh, my goodness.
- And yeah, so this is-- - Cutie pie.
- This is the card that I got when I came
to this country when I was four.
- Uh-huh.
- And that, so you see, is my full name.
- I know, I was like-- [laughter]
Help me. - Yeah.
- Help me out.
- So I'll say my full name.
And I'll do the whole dialect. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Oladotun Abdul Rasak Olubeko.
- OK, I love that.
- So this little kid means everything to me.
- This is super sweet and special.
Thank you for sharing this.
And now, I mean, I've already known there was so much,
like, depth to you, but I just want to know more.
Like, I'm genuinely intrigued.
But, like, also I know, like, there's a level of,
like, genuineness to you.
And I really do appreciate you, like, starting off with, like,
just stating your intentions for why you're here
because I'm fearful of that.
Like, I'm fearful of people being here
and not truly being here for the right reasons.
Like, I already see, like, you doing that.
And thank you for sharing this.
Like, it's a lot.
It really is a lot, so--
- Absolutely. - Yeah.
- Before we wrap up... - Yeah.
- I'm not gonna go for the longest kiss in the world.
- [laughs]
You don't have to set the record.
- But if I can just-- - Absolutely.
- Give you, like, some type of peck.
- Yes.
Dotun really did surprise me today.
Like, his ability to just be in tune with his emotions,
but also, like, be goofy.
And I definitely see potentially husband quality.
[laughs]
- You're going through this crazy experience.
And we recognize that. - Yeah.
- But when it comes to intentions--
- Uh-huh.
- I promise you I'm one of the guys here
that's here for the right reasons.
- Thank you.
- Like, I'm truly ready for, like, my forever person too.
- Yeah, yeah. - Like, I swear to you.
Like, that's literally why I'm here.
- Yeah.
Tanner's so cute.
He was very good at reassuring me
why he was here, and I really did love that.
I felt like it was very sincere.
With him, like, I genuinely do feel that.
- But you got to have some tempo with it.
- OK. - All right?
So you gotta go, like, a little bit back.
Try not to break the wrist. - But, like, not too much.
Yeah, yeah.
- Almost a little bit harder than that.
But you got it. - OK. OK.
Come on!
- Go, go. - Go, get in!
- Come back, come back come back!
[both cheering]
[laughter]
- I got one in finally!
I thought Sean was very reserved,
but to see him step out, it's refreshing.
Everything keeps getting better.
And it's like, the guys here surpassed
all of my expectations.
[soft music]
- Love is selfish.
Like, let's be real. The pursuit of love is selfish.
And I don't think that's bad.
I think selfish has a negative connotation on it.
And I don't think it should. I think that, you know--
I think that everyone, to a certain degree,
needs to be selfish.
[tense music]
You know, people first meet me, and they think I'm this,
you know--I'm wearing crazy-ass earrings
and [bleep] a velvet-ass shirt.
I feel like a '70s rock star today, bro.
I was like, I'm bringing out the velvet.
For God's sake, like, I do not seem
like somebody who, you know-- who has any emotional depth.
I know that that's how I come off, you know?
But with Charity, there are certain boundaries
that I feel like you don't cross.
I packed my bags before this barbecue.
And if I don't hear what I need to hear from her,
then I'm just gonna get up and go home.
[dramatic music]
[tense music]
♪
- Can I sit here for a minute? - You sure can.
- Breaking the kissing record,
I think it was very disrespectful.

- How are you? - Doing OK.
And depending on what she says, like,
I'm going to be ready to leave.
How you doing? - I'm good.
- Yeah? - Yeah, it was a good week.
But kind of threw me for a loop at the group date.
- Yesterday or today? - Uh...
- Or the date--our group date?
- The day before, yeah, y'all's.
Yeah, because that's when I had to address everyone, but--
- Yeah. - Yeah.

- Yeah. - Yesterday.
I--
- How did-- OK, how did you feel?
- All right, so first, I do want to say, like--
- Yeah.
- I had a lot of, like, a lot of doubt
in your character to some degree.
But when I heard what happened, I felt so bad for those guys.
I felt like, I mean, I don't want to say--
- No, say it. No, honestly.
- I felt like I was lied to in that moment--
- I want-- - When I heard what happened.
- Yeah.
- It was like-- and I was just like,
how can I, you know--how can I be here?
I'm gonna be honest with you, I was ready to run away.
- I'm glad you're bringing it up to me
because it's like, that thin line of,
like, trying to acknowledge, like, Joey and, like,
making sure like, OK, like, he's feeling good.
But then it's like, I have all these other people too
in front of me, and it's like--
- And I think that's--
- It was not coming from, like, a malicious, like, place.
And it's like, I don't know.
Like, um, it makes me, like, sad to, like, hear
that I was, like, frustrating, like, you or, like, any--
- No, I don't mean-- - Yeah.
- Don't be sad. - Yeah.
- I don't want to make you sad. - No.

like I said, like, I'm-- I don't know.
I'm really-- I'm really grateful that you,
like, again, that you addressed it off the jump.
- Yeah.
- Because again, like, from the interactions
I've had with you, I felt like I've--
I felt like I've had, like, real interactions with you
where we've been able to-- - Yeah.
- Connect on a really cool level.
I've gotten to be goofy with you.
I gotten to be, you know-- - Serious, yeah.
- Fun with you and stuff.
And it's like, you're a really special girl.
And, you know, you deserve to be cared about.
- Yeah. Thank you.
- And so, you know, I'm glad we got to talk about it.
- Thank you, honestly.
- I feel like it was important for you to know that and--
- No, it is, and I'm glad.
Like, please tell me everything.
Tell me how you're feeling.
My conversation with Brayden, he was being very vulnerable
and opening up.
- That's good.
- Thank you.
I appreciated his honesty.
I appreciated him being vulnerable.
And I think he doesn't hold back with me, which is nice.
Because for me, honesty is what anyone
should always lead with.
Perfect. Oh, goodness.
How are you doing? - I'm good.
- How are you feeling since our last convo?
- I feel pretty good. - Good.
- Like, I actually got to talk to you.
- Yeah. - That was good.
I did want to talk to you
about this spring break vacation thing.
- Yeah.
- I know that's been heavy on you.
- Yeah. - That not my intention--
- No, no, no. - Just right away.
- I'm-- - I was just being honest.
And I'm like, oh, that may have--
- No, that's what I-- - You know what I mean?
But it's heavy on you, and I didn't mean for that.
- No.
- I just wanted to, you know,
just sincerely apologize for that.
- No, you don't have to apologize for anything.
I appreciated that truly more than anything.
And I want you to always be honest about,
like, your perspective of things because it's important.
Like, you're the only person,
I think, that is being that open and honest about,
like, how life is inside the house.
I don't see all this. - Yeah.
- And so, like, I know, like, you mentioned,
like, the spring break thing.
But I think you also said something
about, like, just the immaturity of, like, people.
And, like, I want to know, like,
what is, like, immature to you,
or what have you seen in the house?
Like, what-- - So for me--
- Yeah.
- Immature to me is like a lack of, you know,
emotional intelligence.
- Got it.
- A lack of, you know,
not being able to handle your emotions.
- Mm. - But, um...
So the group date's over.
Everybody comes back.
And they talk about this kiss.
Oh, she had this kiss for 4 1/2 minutes.
And then it was also, I guess, Brayden,
he was kind of invalidating Josh's feelings.
Josh was like, I still had a great night.
You know, like, it was a good time.
You know, but he was just like, no, like, just basically,
like, so that was like a little immaturity
that I saw in Brayden.
It was just kind of like, "Oh, that's classless.
That's like--you know, that's disrespectful to the guys."
And I was just like, I don't feel like
Charity is being disrespectful.
- So Brayden.
[tense music]
To be called classless is like...
♪
That's just not the word that was used in our conversation.
I respect like, obviously, like the guys
being able to vocalize that.
But like, I know I don't want spring break, I don't.
- Yeah. - But like, what am I gonna do?
Like, you know? Like, what am I gonna do?
- That spring break really got people.
- Well, then maybe they need to self-examine.
Like, I'm sorry. Like, I don't know, but--
- Yeah. - OK.
My conversation with Brayden today did reflect
really what Adrian was saying.
It just wasn't that same verbiage.
Brayden was open with me about, like,
feeling sick about the date.
But, like, the word "classless" wasn't used.
And so that's where I'm like, I don't know if there's, like,
a misinterpretation or a misunderstanding
of what was actually heard.
I'm just upset because he is a strong connection.
But there are too many incredible people here
for me to be so, like, fixated on this.

- Thanks, Jesse. - Hoo.
- [sighs]
- Well, I don't know what all that's about.
I don't know what was said.
- Does anyone got anything they're hiding or--
- Anybody have a conversation that could have
sparked something like that?
- I guess, who was the last person to have a conversation?
Did she seem like she was on edge?
- I was--I was the last--
I was the very last, of course.
[tense music]
She did ask me about last night.
So I just let her know, you know,
what happened in the moment and what I felt,
you know, obviously, with me and Brayden or whatever.
And being honest is a gift and a curse.
- Adrian, what are you doing, bro?
Why are you running your mouth so much
about other people, bro?
- Bro, I'm a little sensitive when my name comes up.
It's been coming up a lot after the word "concern."
- I'm being honest. - I'm being honest too.
- So if you-- you talked to her first.
You got to protect yourself.
- My issue is-- - Because that's your energy.
- Well, my issue is that my interactions with you guys
is completely separate with my interactions with her.
- You act like I'm going in here like, "Yeah, so let me
tell you what happened in the house yesterday."
- Bro, I don't care, bro.
- This [bleep] is stupid.
You know, there's a lot of guys
that didn't get to talk to her.
And some of us are going home today.
- I'm the only one being 100% honest
on how the conversation goes from start to finish.
We don't know what the [bleep] is being said, honestly.
- It sucks.
If I don't get a rose tonight, I'm gonna be pretty upset.
- Somebody else could have said something.
But you looking at the honest guy saying,
look, this is what happened, you get what I'm saying?
- He could have stayed quiet. - So it's like...
- At this point, they're obviously a distraction.
It might be best for them both to go home.

I don't feel like I'm in the best position.
Brayden and Adrian's disagreement
did affect me directly.
Because of that, I lost time.
So I'm scared that I could go home tonight.

There's definitely some tension
between Brayden and Adrian right now.
I honestly have no idea what's going through her mind,
but I think she should tell both of them to go home.

Adrian and Brayden told me two different stories.

I want to start off by saying, this was an incredible week.
There were so many outstanding connections that were made.
And I'm so grateful for that.
But also, I think with everything

And it makes tonight
so difficult for me.
Hoo, sorry.

And that doesn't take away from any of you all.
