Broke it during Soccer game

Emily & Jen have the first dish tasted by chefs.
Emily's tostada was not good. Did not think those could be messed up.
Caila and Leah's stuffed pepper, love those. But that don't look very appetizing, though they got a plus for it.

Loving some of the chef's expressions.

Jojo and Becca have the taco. Is that blue corn or did they burn it?

Ben and Olivia's duck sandwich. Crickets on top? EEWWW! I love that the female chef said in spanish that it looked like dog food. Very brave of them to take bites of it.

Well now we know why Jube & Lo were so serious. THEY are the winners! And they chefs want that in their restaurant. wait! Didn't they provide the recipes???? No matter. I think those 2 girls should get roses.

Stop sulking Jubilee! Get your arse outta the chair and take charge!

Snoggy, snoggy, lip locking with Lauren B.

Girls observing that he's singling out some for extra attention. Well, at this point he probably has an idea of who he's clicking with.

Jubilee has her time with Ben. A lot is said, but communication ain't their specialty. She tries to explain how the other girls feel over pda's. He should have listened better. But the writing is on the wall.
If you get on the ABC website, there is / was a clip of silliness in the house between Jubilee and the twins. So there obviously have been fun outgoing times for her.
I hate to see her go.
My gut is telling me that she might be a candidate for Bachelorette. RUN Jubilee!! Although I wish her all the best, I'd hate to see tptb turn her story into a disrespectful drama. Her comment that she felt like the most unlovable person in the world right now, was heart breaking!

I like that he struggled with explaining letting her go.

Jojo was right to be there to be a comfort. Her points were spot on.

Time for the rose.
PLEASE PLEASE give it to Jojo...

OMG....NO! NO!

Retool brain..
WHEW! time for Lauren H

Refreshing change of pace.

WOW fun colorful place. OK I love this date. I make hats and clothes, so this has my complete attention.

I have to laugh at her reaction to fashion week. Not at her, but with her. It is exciting to be a part of something like that, but it's also a heck of a lot of work. very rewarding though, so I hope they got some good photos from it.

I feel empathy in the walking lessons and the pressure of being at the mercy of the show director. However our biggest one was a Halloween show and the director was a really cool guy. Those are good memories and I hope that's how Ben and Lauren look back on it in the future.

Lauren's explanation of the past relationship shows she took responsibility for her own well being. She is a goofy class act. I hope she goes far with him. She's sensible, but has that refreshing girly side. Able to be serious, but also bring a laugh. That goes a long way when times are tough.

Time for the cocktail party before the rose ceremony.

The girls state that they don't understand why Olivia got the group date rose. They wonder why he does not see what they see. Well, he does not live in the same house / hotel room. He's soo busy trying to sort things out, probably dealing with pressure from producers. Time to take matters into your own hands ladies...put the big girl panties on and TELL him.

Jojo reveals that she's shocked that she has developed feeling fast and she really likes this guy. What's not to like? She asks him not to blindside her. He makes a promise I'm not confident he can keep.

Lauren B tells him she could see a life with him... hhhmm interesting. He is quick to get into the liplock with her.

So glad to see Emily start the dialog regarding Olivia. Then Amanda (whom he really seems to have a connection with ) telling him that she has been a target from day 1. FINALLY!

I'm glad these girls are standing up for themselves. But will Ben open his eyes????

All that then "to be continued" .....Holy COW!

I have a very good friend who is a designer in NYC. He works very hard especially during fashion week. You are very talented tKG!

I can cook for 100 people, but sewing was never my thing.
