At the opening of the episode, the remaining nine women are told that boot camp is over. Now they will be winging off in private jet with Andy to exotic . . . Lake Tahoe! All the women are excited, except for Bevin. She won’t be able to join in the ski slope fun due to her injury from last week.

Once at Lake Tahoe, the women get settled in their gigantic hotel suite. There will be two group dates with four women each and one individual date. The first group will be Nicole, Stephanie (KS), Danielle, and Bevin. They’ll be joining Andy for dinner and gambling. Bevin breaks down in the bathroom over her injury. But the rest of the women band together to get her ready, even though they think she is milking the ankle sprain.

The women finally make it down to the date, but Bevin starts crying again once there. Andy takes her aside to comfort her. She really brings out his altruistic side. They even do a little kissing. Stephanie (KS), Danielle, and especially Nicole are feeling neglected. Nicole thinks Bevin is using the injury to her advantage.

The pair finally rejoin the group. Danielle is emboldened and steals Andy away for herself. She even takes the opportunity to kiss Andy.

After dinner, the quintet head down to the casino for some gambling at craps. Bevin has some good luck at the game and with Andy: she gets the Special Quality Time. Andy carries her over the threshold of his hotel room. Once inside, Andy tries a new tactic: he reveals he is a nerd and dreams of being an astronaut. This garners him some serious making out with Bevin, who of course is turned on at the idea of dating (and potentially marrying) an astronaut.

The next day, Kate, Stephanie (SC), Tina, and Tessa learn they will be joining Andy on the slopes for skiing lesson. Amber realizes that she will be the one to go on the individual date with Andy.

Once on the snow, Stephanie (SC) shows her dark side, as she states in the confessional she will throw anyone under the bus. Mainly she tears down Amber in front of Andy. And Kate too tells Andy that some of the women are annoyed with him. This accusations come as a shock to him.

After some skiing, Andy chooses Tina for Special Quality Time. Stephanie (SC) is upset by this, because she figured she was a shoe in, since it was her birthday. Over lunch with Tina, Andy say he wants to know more about her. But Tina has her own questions for Andy. Specifically wants to know about the Lamborghini and the yacht. Rather sheepishly, Andy comes clean and says they aren’t his. He actually drives a Jeep.

Amber is very keyed up about her individual date. Andy takes her to a romantic cabin, but spoils the mood by giving her the fifth degree about what is going on between all the women. Amber says she just wants to have a good time and get know him. In the hot tub, she does get to know him: the two share many kisses and Andy bestows a rose upon her.

Back in Los Angeles at the mansion, Kate starts a rumor that Tina said she heard that Amber and Andy almost had sex. Amber hears this and runs to talk to Andy about it. “Think of the worst thing you could possibly think of” she says. Andy cannot comprehend the cattiness that is occurring.

At the rose ceremony, Andy cuts the three most gossipy girls: Nicole, Kate, and Stephanie (SC). Nicole can’t understand why she was cut. Stephanie (SC) is just in shock. She thought she had a lock on Andy. But she realizes that her “selling someone out” was not so nice.

Moving on:

This week the group dates began. Two dates with seven girls each. If you ask me the girls on the second group date got the short straw. They had to compete in a mini-triathlon while the first group just had to ride a mechanical bull. Andy is really into the physical activity, no? Apparently, so was Stephanie (KS) and Amber: Steph was the only girl to stay on the bull and Amber easily won the mini-triathlon.

Other girls revealed some of their “deeper” sides: Alexis revealed she was a virgin, Tina said she was not very athletic and Tessa couldn’t deal with the competition. Oh and Erin & Susan played up their “Barbie doll” look. And attitude. And sitting next to Andy made him look even more like a “Ken doll.”

Stephanie (SC) got to go on an individual date since she got the First Impression Rose. All the girls were jealous, but Stephanie was certainly acting all above everyone. In her mind it seemed like she thought she had already won the competition. Later on the yacht she pretends to be Kate Winslet from “Titanic.” Andy makes for a very unenthusiastic Leonardo DiCaprio. But later when Stephanie gets down to a bikini, he is so impressed that he gives her a rose. And a kiss!

The next night before the rose ceremony, Andy gets even more intimate with Tessa: mutual footrubs! This does not sit well with everyone else, so of course it is cut short.

Before you know, it’s time for the rose ceremony. Many shots of Erin & Susan clutching each other nervously. Finally the last rose is given . . . to Erin! The Barbies are broken up. In the end only 12 go on and three go home.

The remaining 15 bachelorettes moved into their new home: a mansion in the Hollywood Hills. But they couldn’t get too settled in because three would be going home after the group dates.

This week, there were two group dates with seven women each. There was one individual date and it was revealed that Stephanie (SC) would be going on this date. She received this honor because she was given the First Impression Rose last week. The rest of the women are immediately jealous. However the catch is that she must receive a rose on the individual date or she will go home.

Andy took the first seven women on a tour bus through downtown Los Angeles. They end up at a bar with a mechanical bull. The women attempt to stay on, but Stephanie (KS) was the only one that was able to ride it out. Andy was very impressed.

Afterwards, the octet returned to a hotel where the women changed into gowns. But the gowns didn’t stay on long, as everyone stripped down to skimpy bikinis to enjoy the hot tub. Tiffany got some one-on-one  with Andy in the Special Quality Time, but she was kind of a wet blanket. Andy struggled to make conversation with her.

The second group date involved Andy coaching the women through a mini-triathlon. But first they were treated to breakfast and mimosas. Tina was called a hussy for asking Andy for some one-on-one time.

After breakfast, Andy told the girls the elements of the triathlon: Four laps in the pool, two miles on the spinners, and five laps running around the pool. Erin and Susan were not into the swim and “walked” the laps so as not to get their hair wet. In the end, Amber was able to pull out the win and got the Special Quality Time. Andy took her down to the beach for more exercise, but the two shared an intimate moment watching the sunset on the ocean.

Back at the mansion, Stephanie (SC) prepared for her big date with Andy. She showed off two very revealing dresses to the women, who were of course put off by her.

Stephanie met Andy at his yacht. After re-enacting the “I’m-flying” scene from Titanic, the two got into the yacht’s hot tub. Andy obviously liked what he saw, because he gave her a rose. And she gets the first kiss! When she returned to the house, she was coy and didn’t tell the other women about the kiss.

The next day, Andy visited the mansion for a party with all the women. The liquor was flowing and the party was going well for Andy, but the women were very concerned with who would get cut.

Tessa took Andy upstairs to show him where the women’s sleeping quarters. They hid out in a room and gave each other a foot massage. Just when things were going well, they were interrupted by the other women and shots of liquor. Later Tessa broke down, due to the extreme competition.

But at the rose ceremony, Tessa received the first rose. Erin received the last rose and was asked by Andy (playfully) if she went to college.

Danielle

Amber
Stephanie (KS)

Nicole
