This week was about 100 minutes of boring, 5 minutes of #CHAD and 5 seconds of JoJo’s mom going vertical with a bottle of champs. Thank you for that gift, Mrs. JoJo.
I know we’ll get these questions so:
- Unfortunately our rules state that a contestant gets points if she has a secret boyfriend – no points for having an ex come back into the picture (we’ll update this for next season). So close, Chad.
- Amanda and Ben sat on a blanket on the beach, but did not have any food – no picnic points
- A lot of girls tonight told the camera they were in love with Ben – this kind of falls in between our two categories. Judge rules that you only get 30 points if you actually say “I love you” to Ben directly.
Amanda: 120 points
- Making it to Hometown Dates (50 points)
- Saying “I’m falling for him” or “I love him” to the camera (20 points)
- Kissing the Bachelor on the lips (10 points)
- Mentioning her kid (5 points)
- Mentioning a previous fiance or husband (10 points)
- Crying on camera (25 points)
Caila: 135 points
- Making it to Hometown Dates (50 points)
- Kissing the Bachelor on the lips (10 points)
- Wearing a helmet (5 points)
- Saying “I’m falling for him” or “I love him” to the camera (20 points)
- Crying on camera (25 points)
- Getting the rose to stay another week (25 points)
JoJo: 130 points
- Making it to Hometown Dates (50 points)
- Kissing the Bachelor on the lips (10 points)
- Saying “I’m falling for him” to the camera (20 points)
- Crying on camera (25 points)
- Getting the rose to stay another week (25 points)
Lauren B.: 130 points
- Making it to Hometown Dates (50 points)
- Kissing the Bachelor on the lips (10 points)
- Crying on camera (25 points)
- Saying “I’m falling for him” or “I love him” to the camera (20 points)
- Getting the rose to stay another week (25 points)
When we get to the Women Tell All, will girls stick with their original team? We have a girl who swapped out a girl at the mid season draft, who does she get points for for that episode? A few weeks early, I know, just curious so I can let my girls know! Thanks!
I was actually thinking about this last night! It’s a bit tricky – our recommendation is that you should get points for your post mid-season draft team, not your original team.
Are there wildcard points this week?
No wildcard this week :-)
Did Lauren B really cry? I didn’t see “moisture fall”
This was a tough call – I went back and forth and rewatched a bunch of times. She ultimately did wipe away a tear, but it was definitely borderline. I decided to give her the points, but feel free to not award them in your league if you feel strongly that she didn’t earn them.
Olivia wiped nothing away too; though. Is there any way you can change it? My league follows your points.
We’re going to keep the points as is. Your league can choose to make the change if they want.
Did any of them talk about their parents relationship?
They did not. I was listening closely for that, because that’s usually guaranteed at hometowns.
We are at the point in my league where no matter what happens, the top three people in the rankings are not going to change. Has this happened to anyone else? This might be because my league is too large, and I will need to cap it next time. We had already decided ahead of time NOT to do the women tell all points.
Yes, my league is in the same situation. We are doing Women Tell All points. And I’m trying to do some fun little gifts during our Final Rose Ceremony Viewing Ceremony to spice things up for everyone. If you have any ideas I’d love to hear them!
Unfortunately, I have too many people in my league to even be able to get us all together for a final rose ceremony viewing party! I think I am just going to have to make some rule changes for next time around. The first, being that I have to cap my league or have more than one league so more people have a change at winning. Second, I need to have everyone pick girls out of a hat or have everyone be in the same room during drafting. I have a feeling some of my participants used Instagram as a source and it put them on top.
