So we’re finally in Latvia, but don’t hold your breath because there could be a recap hiding behind every cutaway.
Garrett gets the first one-on-one in Latvia! And they go bungee jumping – but it’s naked bungee jumping. Which is supposedly a Latvian tradition….sure producers, sure. It’s unclear what the actual body part logistics are because they do indeed jump out of a cable car naked. I just feel like that would hurt. One of the producers throws Hannah’s very sensible, white bra, from the cable car where they jumped into the pond below, it’s a nice dramatic touch.
During the dinner portion Garrett asks Hannah what is the big defining moment of her life and she just says it is living her life as herself. Which is nice, but where’s her one pivotal sob story moment? Not very fair when all the guys have to share theirs.
The group date is: Mike, Jed, Tyler, Dustin, Luke, Conner, and Dylan. Which gives Peter the pilot the one-on-one!
Back to Garrett, this one time he was going to do football but he didn’t like that #sportsball so instead he does the golf #sportsball. He gets that rose, touchdown! Hole in one!
The group date gets to explore a Latvian market with moonshine and pickles! So Hannah tells the guys about naked bungee jumping, and Luke isn’t very happy with the NAKED part. Because NAKED is not okay.
During the second part of the date Hannah has really nice moments with Tyler and Jed. And then there’s Luke…… he didn’t like that Hannah was naked bungee jumping but then he lets her know that they can work through anything in a super condescending and territorial way. GO AWAY LUKE. But good news, Tyler gets the group date rose.
Peter and Hannah get to go to a Latvian sauna for their one-on-one date. In a Pirts which is like a sauna. Keep trying tourism board of Latvia, keep trying. They make some potions and then make out in the sauna. Peter lets Hannah know that he “really likes her” which is a bit far away from “falling for you” or “falling in love,” but I’ll take it, I like him. Hannah just wants to make sure their relationship isn’t all physical. And Peter opens up and I learn that he knows Spanish which is another plus for him. He unsurprisingly gets the rose and some fireworks, literally.
Peter returns to the hotel and Jed decides to take this moment to go serenade Hannah in her hotel room. He also serenades her in her hotel room but Hannah is more interested in making out. Jed takes this moment to say he is falling in love with Hannah.
Back to the Luke drama, because we can’t escape. Garrett confronts Luke for talking about the naked bungee jumping with Hannah and we discuss staying in lanes again. I need Luke’s lane to go off the highway and into some random field so he gets lost and doesn’t come back. I sense a two-on-one in these dude’s futures if Luke lasts through this episode.
It’s almost time for the rose ceremony, but not quite, because Hannah comes over before it in normal clothes to talk to Luke. Hannah addresses the language Luke used when describing the naked incident- including “bone headed mistake.” This is just a continued exercise on how horrible Luke is. EYEROLLLLLLLLLLLLL. Luke feels like the train is finally on the tracks, Hannah disagrees, so he maybe thinks it is closer on the tracks. This train is horrible, let’s just all get off. Hannah wants to know why it is so hard, maybe because LUKE STINKS.
Luke goes back to talk to the guys about Hannah. And we have a conversation where “stay in your lane” is said about a million times and there is even a texting and driving analogy. Chris Harrison comes in to tell everyone there is no cocktail party, just a rose ceremony. Probably so Luke can’t ruin it.
We go straight to the ceremony and the roses go to:
Jed, Mike, Conner, anddd the last rose goes to Luke 😦 BOoooooooooo. So nose ring dude and other dude who have had no screen time go home, thank goodness Chris Harrison says their names are Dylan and Dustin.
We can only hope that Luke finally goes home next episode, but we’ll just have to wait and see.
whatcha watching on tv
