The Bachelorette: Emily's Season-- Let the Games Begin

Emily and the guys spent this week in the picturesque country of Croatia.

The first one on one date of the week went to Travis who revealed to Emily that he was engaged before. She sees Travis as really sweet and a good guy. They spent the day walking around and dancing in the street, yet despite that, Emily doesn't see romance and decides she cannot give Travis a rose.

Ari, Chris, Doug, Jef, John, and Sean go to a screening of Brave with Emily and then learn that they're going to have their own "Highland Games". Emily says that brave is doing your best and being your own man. She chooses Chris as the bravest, even though he lost every challenge because he tried.

After the games:
Sean tells Emily he has strong feelings for her; she tells him to keep his confidence.

Emily tells Ari, she loves being around him. He kisses her in the streets.

Jef gives Emily his jacket. He tells Emily that he feels that things could be really good between them. He says that before he kissed her, he was afraid to kiss her. They kiss and he says, I have a secret, I'm crazy about you. He even reveals to the camera that he is falling in love with Emily.

Emily ends up giving Chris the group date rose and tells him he is one of the kindest, sweetest, most handsome men that she has ever met.

Ryan, much to my chagrin, receives the last one on one date. He keeps referring to Emily as a trophy wife, this is annoying. He is being far too confident and when he gives his list of what he wants in a woman, he sounds totally wrong. Emily says the list makes her feel like she has to be perfect and she doesn't want to feel that way. She says that a family would be the most important thing on her list, and she is surprised with what is important to him. She sees so much in him, but she cannot give him a rose. As he drives off in the limo, he says he hopes that they don't portray him as arrogant (too late for that), but he is.

Ari shows up after Emily's date with Ryan. He reassures her that she made the right decision by sending Ryan home. He said he could marry Emily tomorrow.

Surprise of the night: John carries his grandparents funeral cards. Emily thinks there's more than meets the eye and saves him.

Before the rose ceremony ends, Emily, in a twist, leaves the rose ceremony to ask Chris Harrison if she can send no one home and give out an extra rose. Alas, she gets her wish, and the remaining men (Chris, Sean, Jef, Arie, John, and Doug) head to Prague with Emily.

The Bacelorette Emily's Season: Bermuda Triangles

This week Emily's journey takes her to Bermuda. 

The show opens with single dad Doug getting the first one on one date of the week with Emily. He acts really nervous about the date and the guys kind of push his buttons which is really easy for them to do. The date finally arrives and they go shopping in Bermuda; the amazing thing here is that these two both have a child, but the similarities stop there. They have nothing in common other than that, and their chemistry is nonexistent. Emily begins thinking on this date that maybe Doug may be "too perfect" (good inclination Emily, your instincts are right on). Despite the fact that they seem to struggle through the date, Emily does give Doug a rose.

The guys race in sailboats for more time with Emily. The losing team is Chris, Charlie, Travis, and Sean, and the winning team is Ryan, Jef, Arie, and Kalon. Emily and Arie spend their one on one time discussing the flack he caught in the house after he consoled Emily at the last cocktail party. He says he wants to spend more time hanging out with her and they share a kiss.

Emily's one on one time with Jef goes really well because she sees for the first time that he is really interested in her. She had hoped he would kiss her on the beach, but he said he was trying to be respectful of Emily.

Emily begins to question Ryan's motives as well as some of the odd comments that have come out of his mouth. Ultimately, Ryan loses out as Jef receives the group date rose.

Meanwhile, the guys back at the house get into a discussion about how age isn't what makes you mature, it's your experiences and who you are as an individual.

Ahhh yes, the two on one date; how terrible! Nate is sweet, innocent, and perhaps a little bit too much. He sees in his parents what he wants for himself. John is older, has a quiet confidence, and doesn't need to be the center of attention like some of the other guys in the house.

Emily ends up choosing John to move forward and Nate is sent home.

At the cocktail party, Arie makes it clear that he is not a fan of Ryan, and does not feel he is there for Emily. Ryan says he is a "good catch" and is not worried about Arie. He is already petitioning to be the next Bachelor.

Moving forward: Doug, Jef, John, Sean, Arie, Travis, Chris, Ryan, Kalon, and Alejandro.

Going home: Nate, Michael, and Charlie
