The girls are now in Lima, Peru and in
accord with the tourist board the girls walk around the city and
exclaim about how beautiful it is.
6 girls remain!
Peter talks to his mom and I can in advance see the cringe that will be on my friend Ali's face when she hears his Spanish.
Peter meets the girls at their hotel
to give them a speech about being sure they want to be there or some
such, if you think I paid proper attention you have not read me before.
The next day the girls are all forced to sit around and have
a chat about their "serious talk" (now that I listen to more and more
Bach podcasts I now know they are required to sit in a group and do
these).
As Natasha tells us that she has not
yet had a one on one, a date card shows up for Madison…Natasha has a
death stare. I suspect Natasha's pensive look is her wondering if she
should pack now or after lunch.
Madison - One on one date:
Peter and Madison go fishing, and I
want to make a joke about crabs. Peter catches a fish, I now think they
had divers down there to hook one on for him…yes I know I am cynical.
While the boring date continues, we
cut back to the hotel and Natasha finally gets a date card "vamos a
explorar" and she is shocked.
Back to the date and Peter continues his streak of being a bad dancer!
Madison tells Peter she wants someone
that embodies her dad…"such a strong relationship with the Lord." To
Madison faith is "all of who I am." Peter says "I do feel like sometimes
my faith could be stronger…but it is something that is important
to me, I promise you that." Peter has the look of a man who just wants
to say the right words to get the girl in front of him to accept him.
Pater then breaks protocol and says "I know that I am falling in love
with you." Madison "I am so glad you said that,
I needed that."
If you couldn’t tell that Madison was a
front runner from week one I do not know what to tell you. Madison of
course gets the date rose, with Peter saying "I just had the most
amazing date with you again" this is despite this being a boring
date, when you are in love you are in love…this means Peter will be off
to meet Madison's family.
Natasha one on one:
I suspect I should be nervous for her.
Of course on their date they come upon
street musicians and Peter and Natasha get to stand inside the circle
of regular patrons watching, this allows Peter to do some more terrible
dancing.
Peter tells Natasha that she has been
the realest with him, he says "maybe too honest" that part said in jest,
but I scent traces of truth. Natasha says she hasn't dated in four
years then says her last guy said "that I was too intense
for him" oh girl, Peter is kind of shallow, you sure this is the tact
to take?
Back to the hotel and Kelsey gets the
next one on one, Hannah Ann, 'racist' VF and Kelley are not pleased, I
cannot say they hide it well.
You can see the clear difference
between Madison's date and Natasha's date, Peter asks Natasha to tell
him if she thinks they can be together long term vs his gushing over
Madison. Natasha says "you know a lot."
Peter picks up the rose to tell
Natasha that "at the point that I am at with these other relationships, I
cannot give you this rose" then puts it down to tell her that she is
amazing and "I don't know if I waited too long to give us that
chance." It is a cruel move by Peter if it his idea or the show if
their idea (I would have refused their request) to hold the rose like it
is going to be presented then tell someone that they are going home.
The show features an orchestra playing
dramatic music as the breakup happens, makes me wonder if that would
have been the romantic concert should the rose have been presented since
Peter overlooks them from a balcony while holding a rose.
Kelsey one on one date:
Before Kelsey leaves for her date she
has to dramatically place her suitcase in the foyer in case the show has
to send someone in to take it out of the room to signify the end of her
time! I hate to say it but that suitcase looked superlight
the way she was handling it…reality tv would never lie to us though, so
Kelsey is probably super strong.
Kelsey and Peter take ATVs through the
countryside. Then run up a hill and fall into each other's arms winded
as Peter asks Kelsey what she wants to do in life: She wants to work a
couple days a week "but still be able to spend a few days
at home with the kids" uhmm that does not seem practical but hey do
you.
Peter says "that was a really fun day"
and Kelsey pipes up "I told you I am not emotional" that would worry me
if someone had to constantly tell me that.
Kelsey tells Peter that if he goes to
her hometown he will meet her mom but not her dad because while she did
not have a relationship with her dad for years (partly because she did
not like that "god told him to do that [leave her mom and
not communicate with the kids]…that was a cop out" she and her dad
reunited a year ago but her mom does not know about the reunification.
Again contrast this date with Natasha as Kelsey does not have to tell
Peter why she should remain.
Kelsey tries to kiss Peter even before he can give her the date rose and ask to go see her family in Iowa.
Back to the hotel and the 3 on 1 date card shows up "Tomorrow wont be easy."
Kelley tells us that she was annoyed
to not get the one on one last night and tonight "I am still annoyed"
she calls VF and Hannah Ann children "and who wants to be on a date with
them?"
The producers have clearly decided to use Kelley to trash the other girls.
3 on 1 date:
The girls take turns hugging Peter as they walk up, it all seemed so formal.
The group meets up with the owner of
the hacienda that is over 250 years old he has been married for over 36
years, the hacienda grounds have a chapel and the owner offers to marry
them (does Peru allow polygamy?).
Hannah Ann is the first to speak to
Peter alone. When Peter asks HA how she is doing she says "this week has
been really hard on me." Peter tells HA that life is not always all
good and he worried that he was only seeing "the all good side
of you." HA "I am a very cheesy person, so I wrote down the reasons why
I am falling for you" that list is 20 items long on pink paper! Way to
not look childish.
While HA and Peter are on their alone
time VF is freaking out that there are 2 roses on the table in front of
her and Kelley while Kelley just lounges. VF "I guarantee that he is
going to come and pick up one of those roses and give to
[HA] I guarantee it" she was wrong.
Kelley is snagged next by Peter.
Kelley with her practical nature tells Peter that not every relationship
has to have them jumping through hoops, Peter hates that she says
things could be "fun" he wants her to struggle? Peter clearly just
wants someone to break down and cry, he has a type and a mode he wants
and Kelley is not going to give him that.
Speaking of Struggle, here's VF!
Peter wants to know if they have
resolved the problems from their one on one where VF intimated that she
wanted to leave, "I just want to hear from you, what you make of that."
VF "I don't really know and uhmm…If that is what you want to
use our time to talk about right now" wait what? Hold on girl the lead
is concerned about your doubts and you insult him and tell him that when
y'all hang out "you are always in a mood." Peter clearly wants VF to
stay because if anyone had spoken to me like
she did while I have an option of FOUR OTHER girls I would immediately
have cut them!
OH NO KELLEY do not get suckered into
this, "I think Peter has kind of an easy decision, I mean look at me, I
am an attorney, the other girls, what are they? I am ready for a rose!"
Kelley please stop making us all look so bad, do not lean
into that stereotype girl.
Peter says that the decision today
will be done without the need of a dinner, he picks up a rose and then
says "Victoria can I talk to you." VF and Peter walk off with Peter
holding a rose and Peter walks her all the way over to the car
away from the other girls, who are now crowing because they are
thinking that it is a lock she is going home – THEY ARE WRONG!
I feel like I just watched VF pull off a master class in gaslighting.
Peter comes back to the remaining 2
women, picks up a rose and says each girls name and what he has liked
about them "this hurts me and this is so difficult, Hannah Ann will you
accept this rose?" Kelley is doing everything she can to not
look pissed. As soon as Kelley and Peter walk off to go to the car HA
breaks down bawling like she was the one sent home. While HA is crying I
check my bank statement, see because I am a lawyer and I have a job and
I don't know what she does and blah, blah,
blah see Kelley it is gauche to 'profession drop.'
Kelley has a super salty exit
interview in the car: "Do I agree with it no, I question his intentions
because I do not know what phase he is in life, the four that are left
are like little babies. They don't really know who they are. Are
you a child, or are you an adult? But clearly he does not agree." "I
don't really want him to waste my time either, thank you for not coming
to meet my family."
"Congratulations Kelley you played yourself" DJ Khaled voice.
All that said, real congrats, you got
to get a bunch of great vacations out of this and I do not think you
actually wanted to get with Peter so apart from slandering our
profession, girl you a hero!
Blooper reel:
Has Peter explaining to the owner of
the hacienda the concept of the show "You are dating these three girls?"
"Ah that's a situation, yes a situation for sure." Bruh, you rented out
your house to a show you do not understand? I am supposed
to believe this?
