Last night was a points bonanza! If looks could kill, there’d be no one left standing on this show. The girls were throwing major shade at group-date-rose-winner Britt, who—according to Whitney—committed the cardinal sin of not even appreciating country music. We ended with a delicious two-on-one date with Ashley I. and Kelsey in the Elephant Graveyard from The Lion King. As soon as that date card arrived, I was like:
On to the points. This might be an unpopular decision but I’m gonna double-down, (so just try and come at me, bro): Whitney is the only one seen do-si-doing on camera with Chris after all the ladies sang individually on the group date. I watched it about five times. Once in slow-mo. So she’s the only one we’re awarding dancing points to (besides Britt, who danced at the concert with Chris).
Peace be with you.
Lastly, we didn’t award any rose ceremony points for the end of Episode 6 because there wasn’t a rose ceremony. Chris did send both Ashley I. and Kelsey home, so that’s probz why ABC skipped the rose ceremony. But no rose = no points.

Did you know we’re on Facebook and also on Twitter? We live-tweet every episode, often while drinking and yelling at the TV. It’s a good time. Come tweet with us!
Didn’t Becca talk about a previous boyfriend on the one on one date? Or does what she said not count? She said “I was in a relationship, we were so on and off”
Only counts if it was a previous fiance or husband!
Didn’t Kaitlyn cry on camera during the group date?
Crocodile tears! No moisture fell :)
First, thank you for a great job on this pool. This is the first time me and my colleagues are participating and your site has helped us tremendously! I just need clarification about the Mid-Season Draft: I had all of my five girls going into last nights episode and after the rose ceremony and therefore have to switch out a girl versus add one to the roster. I switched out Ashley I for Becca and so am wondering if I still get Ashley I’s points for last night along with Becca’s points? Or do I only get Becca’s points.
Hi Abby! Thanks for playing! For the sake of simplicity and standardization, we think that you should only get Becca’s points, as that was your new team after the mid-season draft. ABC really screwed us up by tacking that rose ceremony from Episode 5 onto last night’s episode.
If you disagree with that ruling, you can also award yourself 50 total points for Ashley I. crying on camera (25 points) and receiving a rose in that first rose ceremony (25 points), before “Episode 6” truly began. Does that make sense?
That makes a lot of sense!!! Thank you so much!
I thought Jade cried on camera too?
She teared up but nothing rolled down her cheeks—we have to be sticklers because these ladies cry so darned much.
Didn’t kaitlyn and Whitney cry on the group date
Both of their eyes welled up but we only saw visible tears with Whitney, so she’s the only one we gave points to. We’re sticklers b/c there’s so much flingin’ flangin’ “crying” on this show.
Don’t Carly, Whitney, and Britt get points for getting roses to stay another week in Episode 5?
They got points last week for that!
Thank you, Amanda! Yep, their rose points were counted last week.
Whitney: 40 points
Being selected to go on a group date (10 points)
Singing for Chris (5 points)
Dancing with Chris (5 points)
Crying on camera (25 points)
This comes to 45 points :)
Thank you for the math help, Stephanie! Updated to 45 points :)
I think it should actually be: 70 Points for Whitney
Getting the rose to stay another week in Episode 5 (25 points)
Being selected to go on a group date (10 points)
Singing for Chris (5 points)
Dancing with Chris (5 points)
Crying on camera (25 points)
Should Kelsey get points for needing medical attention again since it was the same instance as last week?
We debated but decided to grant her those points again because it’s technically a new episode!
I think Kelsey kissed Chris on the lips when he talked to her after her “panic attack”!
I’ll have to rewatch that bit tonight to confirm. I didn’t see it on the first go-around but I’ll update later tonight if that proves to be true.
Does it count as a picnic if there was no food eaten? I feel like it was more of them sitting on the ground than going on a picnic
As long as their tushes are on the ground (preferably on a blanket) and they’re eating or drinking something, we decided to count it as a picnic!
Shouldn’t Britt have 5(?) extra points since Chris attended a Big and Rich concert? You counted them as dancing together but not attending a show. Thanks for the great blog!
** Chris and her attended a…
Hey Betty! Our points categories state that we only give out awards for private concerts—when a band plays for just the Bachelor and a contestant! Thanks for checking :)
Were there wildcard points this week?
There was. 20 points to the first lady who complimented Chris’s physical appearance. It went to Kelsey! It’s sorta buried under her name because she earned so many points this week.
Isn’t it doubled since nobody got wildcard points last week?
We didn’t double it this week, with all the craziness of the mid-season draft. Thanks!
Ann,
We gave Kelsey double the points it our league. Even with the craziness, we just thought it seemed fair :)
Thanks, Susan. I was just under the impression that if there wasn’t a wild card winner in one week, then the next week it was automatically doubled. Our commissioner is very by the books, so we don’t change them. So I just thought I would ask :) Thanks for all the help.
Crazy Kelsey and Lunatic Ashley I. weren’t sitting on the ground for their picnics, were they? Weren’t they on that awkward outdoor bed?
They actually each sat on the ground with Chris individually and had some drinks! They were sitting on the ground of the *~*Badlands*~*.
Thank you! Obviously my picnic game is lacking.
P.S. This makes scoring my work pool so much easier. You should see the Powerpoints we put together. Sophisticated analysis.
You guys are the best- thanks for doing all this! And I love the update this week.:)
Thanks so much for playing, Erika! It means a lot to hear nice things from those who are playing along this season :)
Will you be putting the points for the 2 day event up all on Tuesday?
Hey Joe! We just posted an update on our site — we’re going to do two separate points postings on Tuesday, because of ABC’s wonky schedule. Thank you!
Everything is very open with a precise explanation of the issues.
It was really informative. Your site is extremely helpful.
Many thanks for sharing!
