What's up, Gabby? What's up, Rachel?
- It's complicated because you're dealing
with two amazing women,
but they have polar opposite personalities.
- Things will get messy. I have no doubt about it.
- There has to be a point in this
where they're both gonna like the same person.
- Can I kiss you? - Yeah.
- I do have to tell you something.
- What? - I kissed Logan.
- What I'm not interested in, is you guys' way
of going about this process.
- That is a form of control, and that is manipulative.
- I feel really bad.
He's, like, this incredible guy,
but then something's off.
I just don't know what to do.
- Everything's just way harder than I expected.
- We have no idea what's going to happen.

talking about Fantasy Suites this early?
I do think it would be time for you to go.

I think today, up in zero gravity,
we really, really found a connection.
I feel only excitement for tonight.
And now it's just time to build

[engine roaring]
- So who here has spent time with my girl so far?
[chuckles] - I have not.
- Which one is your girl? - Which one is your girl?
- I'm honestly open to both of them.
I'm, like, rubbing my hands together at the opportunity

Because I plan to be here all the way.
But ultimately, like, there's definitely
some deal breakers for me, like, especially if I'm talking
about one person who I would spend the rest of my life with.
Like, for me, it would be a deal breaker
if we got down to the final four,
which I plan to be in, and we go into
Fantasy Suite and we have this sexual experience,
and then the person who I'm most interested in
decides that she's gonna have sex
with multiple people and feel it out.
That would be the situation where I'd go, "Okay, I'm out."
There's no chance.
- Whoa.
[chuckling] What are you talking about?
I really don't think that we should be talking about
Fantasy Suites at all at this point.
I think it's a little weird that Chris is thinking
that far ahead.

I mean, we have a playful chemistry,
and I want to see if it can go further than that.
I'm really hopeful.
I, of course, love the fact that we got
to experience something for the first time together.
We do have such different passions,
but in a way, it's so similar.
And I think for me, that's been something
that's been hard for me to find in a partner.
Someone who shares, like, a passion,
and I noticed that with you right away.
- It's been hard to explain what I do to most people
'cause most people don't know what I do.
They hear "drag racing," they have no idea.
The fact that, you know, you're a pilot,

subtle things in a group environment.
- Like what?
- You spoke on, like, a fantasy room subject.
- A what? Be clear. What did I say?
- It was about, if you're not first
in that fantasy room, and you're last...
- You wouldn't want to be there?

- My personal perspective, and I hold true to this, is,
if you're in a situation where there's four people,
and there's four people invited to this Fantasy Suite,
and the female in this situation
has sex with someone else, I wouldn't be interested
in that person being the person I'm with.
- Okay, I have a question, because this is
what kind of happened last season.
Would you be-- would you vocalize that to them
before Fantasy Suites,
during Fantasy Suites, or after Fantasy Suites?
- Good question; it would be dependent on the situation.
Because something that's also-- - Well, you wouldn't know
the situation-- - Listen, listen, listen.

is still rubbing us wrong.

- The way Chris speaks is all about control.
He's very kind of intense.
Maybe you don't mean to deliver a condescending tone,
but in general, that's what it sounds like to people.
He's drawing a lot of lines in the sand that
kind of surprised a lot of the guys.
- Any time that you have a premeditated thought of,
"You won't do this, unless that,"
that is a form of control, and that is manipulative.
This could be our queen, this could be
the mother of our children, and this could be
someone we spend the rest of our lives with.
You cannot have preconditions to love.
It's just the form of control that a lot of men just
don't realize that they do that damages good women.

Go on in, have fun, and good luck.
- Ah!
- Let's do it. - See you guys.
- Thanks, Jesse.
I'm very excited to go into
the cocktail party tonight,
but I definitely had a more rocky start to the week.
I definitely thought at this point I would have more guys
I was extremely ready to further a connection with,
and right now, I'm at square one with a lot of them.
What if they don't like me?
If these guys don't step it up for me,
maybe I'm gonna get to the point where
it just doesn't work out.
- I think--I mean, I think the most exciting part
about tonight is, we're finally gonna get
some clarity and validation.
Like that's really when this journey starts.
[cheering]
- Thank you.
We just wanted to welcome you guys tonight.
Thank you so much for an incredible week.
As you guys know, I sent Jordan home
during our one-on-one this week,
which was not an easy decision for me,
but I want to use this as a lesson to everyone
that one conversation can truly change everything.
- I'm actually really proud of Rachel.
We're gonna have to make these hard decisions.
It might seem like we have a lot of time now, but things
do move pretty fast around here, and we want to be
able to foster the connections that we do feel like we have.
- Absolutely, so cheers to a great night.
Yay! all: Cheers!
- You know, guys are starting to name drop
and be like, "Oh, I'm team Gabby, I'm team Rachel."
You know, I got a chance to connect with Gabby and was
fortunate enough to get the First Impression Rose.
I don't want to neglect the significance of that.
But at the same time, if there was any time
to get to know, you know, Rachel, it's now.
What's up, Gabby? What's up, Rachel?
I appreciate your time.
- Yes, absolutely.
- We honestly haven't had a chance to connect.
- I was gonna say-- I was looking forward to it.
- I was excited about the Chicago vibe,
so I was just like... - Cups.
- I met Gabby, I was like, let me talk to Rachel.
- I'm glad. No, I'm glad you pulled me.
- So, as a career, you know,
I'm a personal trainer, and so I want
to take you through a mini workout.
- Yes, please. - Where you are not
gonna be doing much... - Okay.
- But I'm gonna be supporting you...
- Okay. - Because a part of being
together is supporting each other.
Okay, so follow me. - Are we gonna go?
- Yeah, we're gonna come right here.
- Okay. I'm ready.
I definitely was interested
in Mario night one,
but I am thinking about Gabby.
Because he's her First Impression Rose,
it's a big deal.
- I just want you to stand right here, okay?
I want you to face this way.
Okay, keep turning, keep turning, keep turning.
Okay, I want you to be right here,
and I'm gonna pick you up.
Beautiful, and we're gonna do--
we're gonna move forward here.
All right, and I'm gonna do three squats with you.
Okay, you ready? Here we go.
- When I saw Nate on the helicopter last--
- Yeah. Yeah. - Yesterday, when I saw Nate
on the helicopter yesterday with you I was like...
- Uh-huh. - "Oh, man, dude, that's fun."
- You're good. Three. - [laughing]
- Oh, I'm positive. Hey, how's your day going?
My name is Mario. Oh, my gosh, get up.
Three, beautiful, okay.
- I do think that I could feel something for Mario.
Like, he's very attractive and passionate,
and he picked me up, and I was sweating a little.
If the rest of the guys continue to bring it,
tonight might look pretty good.
- For my job, I own a seasonal business on a boardwalk.
- The Jersey Shore boardwalk.
- Yeah, exactly. - Is that where you work?
- Yes. My brother-- - No way!
- My brother and I own a bunch of the basketball games
up there, so we got 60 seconds. - Mm.
- Whenever you're ready-- oh, it started up.
- Oh, I only have one.
I only have one!
- How many do you have?
I was about to block you too. No way.
- No, the Bulls aren't very good.
- What did you just-- - I don't know what to say!
- All right, well I won at the end of the day,
so I think I get a kiss.
[romantic music]
- After my one-on-one with Jordan,
it was extremely disheartening, but then tonight,
I'm like, so pleasantly surprised,
like, oh, my gosh, I feel, like, really good again.
I hope that Gabby's having as much fun as I'm having.
- Like, I am excited to get to know you.
- Yeah. - Like, you do seem like
a really, like, amazing person.
I thought we had, like, a-- - Do you have a mullet?
- Yes, it's-- it doesn't go anywhere.
Do you want to know something ridiculous?
- What? - I was gonna come in tonight,
like, I was gonna, like, have you--be able
to cut my hair? - No, I'm so good at it.
You should have.
You look terrible.
[both laughing]
- These guys tonight,
they were kissing us,
they were planning out fun games and dates and activities.
I was laughing all night.
- Uh-huh.
That's considered out, but we made it.
[laughing] Good job.
- I finally feel like the Bachelorette tonight.
- To tonight, first Rose Ceremony,
first actual Rose Ceremony. - First real Rose Ceremony.
- I think we should talk about
what happened in the house with Chris.
Um... - Right.
- Do you feel like, you know, one of us should
kind of bring it to their attention?
- I mean, if we could bring her over here and sit her down,
I 100% speak on basically
what we talked about that night.
- I just-- I think it's important
for them to know his character.
They need to know the type of guys
who are in this house, and they're making decisions
based off that. - Yeah.
- What he said was, if you made it
to Fantasy Suites, and if you were
the third one to go-- - He would leave them.
- Well, I feel like because of what
they went through, I feel like I, you know--
- Well, they're even more sensitive.
- On the situation. Yeah. - Exactly. Right.
- They just went to the same situation that he addressed.
- Yeah.
- Oh, yeah, they're gonna want to know, of course.
If someone says something about me
and then you didn't tell me, I will actually be
more offended that you didn't tell me.
- Hello, how are you doing?
It's nice to finally get to talk to you.
- I know. - Oh, you're walking? Awesome.
I love the suit.
- I have to address, you know, what's happening in the house.
- What do you mean?
- I think whoever overheard the conversation and doesn't
bring it to their attention is basically
keeping secrets from their wife.
- What's going on?
- Honestly, we just wanted to talk about Chris.
I wouldn't want you to not know something,
so I want it to be very truthful
and allow you to give you a situation.
- Okay.
- So Chris
was talking to a few guys this week
about Fantasy Suites, and his whole talk was,
"If I made it to Fantasy Suites,
"and if they had slept with anyone,
I would walk out and leave."
- Okay.
- So I asked a simple question:
"Would you bring this up before?"
And he couldn't answer the question.
- So people are talking about Fantasy Suites?
- No, not everybody.
- Who was talking about it? - It came up.
Chris brought it up in a conversation.
- So he's bringing it up. - Yes. Yeah.
- I don't even know why sex is being brought up.
- Yeah.
- I can't believe this is happening.
When I came into this, I didn't want to look like
a girl that just got brought to Fantasy Suites
and, you know, almost sexualized in a way.
To hear that being brought up before I have a conversation
with someone is truly almost my biggest fear.
Okay, I just do want to thank you guys.
I'm gonna step away, and I'm gonna talk to Gabby.
The fact that Chris is already discussing ultimatums
to try to take control of our journey,
it just is extremely upsetting,
and it's not how I wanted this night to go.
Hi, sorry, Justin. - Oh, hi.
- Gabby, can I talk to you for a minute?
- Yeah, oh, my gosh, yeah. - Yeah, absolutely.
- Okay. - Yeah, please.
- Sorry about that. - No, please, by all means.
- Yeah, we'll go outside. - Okay.
- Oh, my God. - Oh, my God what?
- Yeah - Tell me.
- I just got brought some information from Quincey,
Jordan, and Hayden. - Yeah.
- They brought me over, and they told me that
Chris is, like, talking about Fantasy Suites already.
- Ew, what is he saying about it?
- He was basically saying that if he was ever
in a position where he was brought to Fantasy Suites
and we slept with someone else,
that he would leave, but he wouldn't tell us.
- What? - Yeah.
- I'm pretty shocked.
I haven't even had one conversation with Chris,
so for him to already be talking about Fantasy Suites
is--actually, it's, like, entirely ridiculous.
- I think we do owe him the opportunity to speak to us
if you're okay with hearing him out.
- Yeah.
It seems very controlling,
and I think it's disrespectful of our journey and our process.
- I feel bad that we had to address it because I saw
a look on her face and she was just, like--
- She was like, what the hell? - She was [bleep] disgusted.
- 100%, she felt extremely disrespected.
- Oh, yo, bro, leave them. Bro, leave them.
[tense music]
- Oh, good. Thank God.
- Hi.
Chris, can we speak with you?
- Yeah, I'd like to.
- If you'd like to come with us.
- Yeah.
- This is about to [bleep] everything up.
- Yeah. - No joke.
- Nice to finally meet you.
- So do you feel like it's appropriate to be talking
about Fantasy Suites this early?
♪ ♪
- Yeah, so I sat down with the guys the other day,
and Fantasy Suites was a conversation at the time.
You guys maybe had some questions about it?
- I don't think we have questions.
We'd like to hear from you.
- Yeah, I think it's an appropriate thought
because the reality is,
if I were gonna be able to find love,
I tend to think all the way through till the end
and then be able to work it backwards from there.
So that would be my response.
- Okay, but I guess the problem I have is,
they were saying that if you were in a situation
where you were in a Fantasy Suite,
that if Gabby or I decided to be intimate
with someone else, that you would just leave
and you wouldn't ever tell us
that that was an ultimatum for you.
And I think-- - That's not--I always want in
relationships, the opportunity for me to be able to speak
for myself first rather than for somebody else
to tell you what my words are.
Like, my exact verbatim wording was,
"I wouldn't want to be in a situation
"where that person who I was interested in
"had a sexual relationship with somebody else,
"and then myself.
"At that situation,
"I wouldn't be interested anymore
in continuing the relationships."
I'm not taking away anybody else's decision.
And that's something that I would never want to do
to a female is take away their decision.
- I understand that you're thinking way far in advance,
but big picture, this is four days in,
and your very calculated thoughts
about Fantasy Suites
are pretty inappropriate at this time.
- I wasn't the only person to speak about it,
but ultimately, the conversation is about me.
- You were willing to talk about it at depth,
which, if you've seen our journey...
- Yeah. - You would know
it'd be important to us.
And would respect our place as women...
- Yes. - In our position
to make our own decisions, which it seems like if we went
against something you believed in,
you would take that time to leave.
- I feel like I'd like the opportunity to meet you all
individually and speak with you,
but you all don't want that opportunity with me--
- I'm gonna stop you right there.
I really do feel like right now,
you could take the opportunity
to maybe apologize and own up to what happened.
But instead, I still feel as if you're
being condescending towards us.
I feel like you're dancing around the issue.
- I thought that I did tell you exactly what happened.
- We can help make this decision at this point.
I don't want anyone to be thinking about Fantasy Suites.
It's so early.
We don't even know if we have a connection.
- Right. - And it sounds like you have
pretty sure thoughts on it.
So to not even put you in that place,
I do think it would be time for you to go.
- Okay.
- I'm gonna agree with her.
- Okay. - Yeah.
- Can we walk you? - Yeah.
- They told Chris to leave. - Yeah.
- Excuse me, guys.

- That was so crazy by Chris bringing up
these things so early and trying to, like,
control and dictate, it just really shows that he's not
the guy for us, and I'm happy it's over.

and do it because she didn't know at the time.
- We were discussing what happened
this week, and that was brought up.
And we felt like they need to--
they need to know what was... - Excuse me.
- Talked about that night.
- Can we interrupt you guys? - Yeah, you need to--

any qualities of what I want in a partner.
