Hey guys.
I'm Tracy.
And I'm Andy.
And we are halfway through the season.
I don't want it to end, though.
Can you believe it?
Luckily, I still have half.
All right, we've got to get right to it.
Another half.
Before we do, you know him, you love him,
he sure makes a statement!
[INAUDIBLE]
Oh look at that suit!
He's wearing a statement suit.
Oh, and where did you get it from?
It came out of his what?
Just keep going.
He's good.
He's rocking it.
What is this?
Please sit down.
I need-- we need to examine this.
It's a three piece.
Wherever did you get that suit?
Oh, you know.
This Old Lucci?
Yeah, This Old Lucci.
Hand tailored.
You also are reminiscent of Colton's tenure challenge
photo.
Yeah, which--
You're just missing the turquoise.
And the-- the extra weight.
OK.
We have a lot to talk about.
We do.
Holy moley.
I know!
Good episode.
Just to sum up what happened, just why
we have so much to talk about--
there were three dates, five people went home--
Dropping like flies.
--and a lot of making out.
A lot.
So the episode starts where we left off,
which we got a "to be continued" last time.
Right.
Oh, I love a teaser.
And we come back in with the Onyeka-Nicole drama.
By the way--
[INAUDIBLE] into the mix.
--I was so happy that they just kind of
led with that, because I knew that it
was going to be a swift end.
Yeah.
They both needed to go, and I can't wait to cross them off.
Cross them off!
Get rid of them.
I feel bad for Nicole.
See you later!
Bye, Onyeka.
Onyeka.
More like off-yeka.
Yeah.
I have to go home.
I'm taking this suit, and I'm leaving.
And who's the other one?
Nicole.
Oh, there she is.
What is up with that X?
How about what he said to Nicole,
"Say hi to your brother."
So, they go to Vietnam--
which, by the way, they're doing the most fun trip ever.
I always joked about it, too.
It's like, we're going to Vietnam!
Yeah.
But it looked really nice.
It looks so nice.
The first one on one goes to my girl, Hannah G.
Yeah.
And I don't know about you, but this date was very reminiscent
of the Cassie date.
Oh, you mean that they just made out the whole time?
The whole time.
Right.
His love language is clearly physical touch.
She's very physical and touchy--
I appreciate that love language.
No, I agree.
And it's-- but it's just-- but it's so obvious as a viewer who
he really likes.
I think the biggest takeaway out of their entire day, which
obviously he gives her the rose, but then he
says in his In The Moment, or his Confessional,
I'm definitely falling in love with Hannah G.
Yeah.
Which is--
Well, that's the first time we've heard him say that.
But that's the thing I was wondering,
is how many times has he said it about someone else
and we just don't see it.
That's a good point.
You know, if he picks her, if he picks Hannah
and she got the first impression rose,
they're on a roll with the first impression roses.
Do you know a fact, though?
Here we go.
Well, no, this is actually interesting,
and I didn't know this.
So, The Bachelorette, the first impression rose,
I think most of the time, that is the winner.
The first impression rose has never been
the winner on The Bachelor.
Really?
So we go to the group date, which was--
Hiyah!
[INAUDIBLE]
By the way--
I don't know if that's how you pronounce it.
So they go to this date, and then
we find out that they're going to spar,
and they bring in a special guest judge.
You know him.
You love him.
Which we all knew immediately when we saw.
Quo Chung.
Quo Chung, yes.
Who hosts The Bachelor in--
Vietnam.
Which I love so much because, as you pointed out--
Two of the women who were contestants fell in love.
That's right.
And I looked it up--
they're still together.
Are they still together?
They're still together.
I looked it up last night.
You have to-- it's amazing.
And so then they go to their group date cocktail party,
and each of the girls gets their own time.
And then Sydney is just getting so worked up during this date.
By the way, I've never liked Sydney more.
Well she--
Really?
You just loved it?
Did you ever like her to begin with?
I didn't who Sydney was, and then I liked her a lot.
OK, yeah.
So Sydney makes gets to the point
where she's like, why aren't you-- like, there
are one on one dates.
I haven't been on one.
Why haven't I been on one?
Are we just not there yet?
And it took Colton by surprise.
Now he should have just probably been direct and been like,
to be honest, I just have a stronger connection
with other women.
But instead he said relationships
develop at different rates.
All right.
So Sydney--
Good morning, Vietnam.
Yeah, bye, Sydney.
And then we give out the rose to Tayshia.
Yes.
Real quick side note on Tayshia--
Let's discuss Tayshia.
I was like, whoa!
Well, and just while we're on her,
fast forwarding till the very end
when she says in front of all of the other girls--
first of all, to Kirpa, of all people--
I know.
--you and I are going to be the final two.
I feel like Tayshia's jockeying to be The Bachelorette.
So the girls are waiting in their hotel room
to find out who's going to get that second one on one.
And I would have guessed literally any
of the other women.
Anybody.
I would have guessed that Kat--
Hannah G would've got a second one in Vietnam.
I thought he would have pulled back Onyeka, be like,
you know what?
I'm out of options.
Come on back.
And they're like, who's going to get it?
And the answer is Kirpa?
I was like--
Good old Kirpa!
--all right, she's here.
His In The Moments for the date that I'm seeing,
I'm like they don't go together.
Because it was so awkward.
And then he's like, we had the best time.
So much connection.
I feel like stuff's happening that we didn't see.
He does Confessionals for the camera,
and they just use them for whatever date they want.
Yeah.
I feel like there's stuff we didn't see,
because he was like, every time I'm around her,
we have such a great time.
I'm like, she just joined the show an hour ago.
Literally, I'm like--
She just showed up.
So then obviously he gives her the rose, because--
Of course.
Exactly.
Nothing says chemistry like that date.
Good call, Colton.
So we think that night is going to be over,
but Demi's got something else in mind.
Here she comes!
So she goes to him, and then she's
like, basically, I just want to tell you that I
am falling in love with you.
Which was not what I was expecting her to say.
No, me neither.
And then he's like, well, thank you.
Which ain't good.
Not a good response.
And then he says, but after hearing you
say that, I feel like it wouldn't
be right to keep you here, because I am not
on the same page.
People love you!
And you are great television, and we'll see you in paradise.
And I hope your mom's doing well,
and make her a ladybug bag.
Yes.
So then we think we're going to get a cocktail party,
and Chris Harrison comes in--
Classic Colton.
No more cocktail parties.
I'm good.
Yeah.
Each woman that has gone home have warned Colton
during their departures, just so you know,
there's people here not necessarily
who aren't here for the right reasons, but who aren't ready.
But the interesting thing that Colton
said-- which I'm on the same page as him--
is that he said when Sydney said it,
he thought she was talking about Demi,
and then when Demi said it, he didn't
know who she was talking about.
And then when Katie said it, he was like, who is it?
It seems like they're kind of implying
Hannah B, because I feel like they kind of always cut to her.
They cut to her a lot.
Although if I had to pick one other person who
was maybe not ready for marriage--
Coming off a marriage?
Cassie.
Really?
Well, hold on.
Oh, she's got the--
Let's just talk about this real quick, because--
This is a Side Nugget.
--in The Bachelor nation and in The Bachelor world,
everyone is talking about this.
Cassie as it turns out and if you're
following on Instagram and social media,
is simultaneously on another reality show
that is airing right now.
Everyone's talking about Cassie being
this front runner, front runner, front runner, but then
it's weird to see her dating someone else--
On another show-- on another dating show.
And not even that.
It's not like she's on like a reality-- like, Survivor.
It's like she's on another show about relationships.
But, this is Colton's third dating show.
True.
OK, so this tease was unbelievable.
It's epic.
It's a big one.
Finally we get the fence jump.
But beyond--
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
I still don't know what it is, but--
He just leapt right over it.
But beyond the fence jump, we have Colton crying, like,
a lot.
Yeah, big time.
And then they show all the women kind of separately crying.
All crying.
It's getting good.
In back of cars.
And then they finally tease the proposal.
Oh, yes.
But did you notice--
you guys, you have to go back and look.
Tell me.
He opens up the ring box.
Thanks, Neil Lane.
There was no ring in it.
No!
There was no ring in it.
Are you kidding me?
I didn't see that.
And if there was, it was pushed so far down
that you couldn't see it.
When you ask him if he's engaged, now, in real time,
off camera, he says, I'm very happy.
I'm very happy.
No more than that.
He won't say.
He won't say that he's engaged.
Which is interesting because Rachel and Becca both got
to say at the end of their seasons, from the beginning,
I'm engaged.
And then you're just wondering who it was to,
so that they're holding that information
is very interesting.
Yeah, I'm curious.
You guys.
I'm loving it.
All right, a big thanks to y'all for watching.
And don't forget to tune in next week
when we find out who's going to hometowns.
And comment below to tell us what you think.
All right, I've got my scooter.
I nailed it!
And also comment below if Corey should wear this every day!
Yay!
No!
It's really sweaty in here.
Please welcome Susan Lucci.
It's schvitzy.
The Lucc.
Oh.
Oh!
Oh, that was actually almost a bad one.
