Actually, if I'm not mistaken.. I believe it was Becca in this week's episode - during the Bachelor High Date who said "I think Jackie's wishing she had a bigger mouth at this point."

What was bad about that? They were bobbing for apples and poor Jackie really looked like she was trying and definitely wanted to get the apple but just wasn't getting it. I didn't see anything malicious or nasty in that comment or Becca's tone. It seemed all in fun and humor.

I thought the apple bobbing was basically referencing oral sex, like the volcano erupting was ejaculation. I'm not saying the small mouth comment was malicious.. the show chose to highlight Jackie's struggle & probably asked the women to comment on it. I just wouldn't say it was an innocent comment devoid of a slightly humiliating sexual nature.

^^I would give them the benefit of the doubt that in the moment they would not think of the sexual innuendo. It is the viewers, in the hand of the editors, who would make that connection. Tptb create all the pieces and then put them together to make the TV show which is alway full of sexual innuendo.

I don't doubt that from the show's perspective because it is just the kind of tacky thing the producers would do on this "journey of true love." I'm just saying I didn't think Becca's comment was said with malice or annoyance towards Jackie. These women sounded genuinely annoyed at Jubilee about her comment.

I would have to stretch my imagination pretty thin to find anything malicious about Becca's playful comment. Or sexual for that matter, since they're not dating porn star. No offense to Ben, but Jackie's mouth is surely big enough for anything except apple bobbing. If Becca had said something like "I think Jackie's wishing she was better with her mouth" then I'd be raising an eyebrow.

I don't know if this has been discussed anywhere but we see in the season preview Jubilee giving Ben a massage in the same dress as next weeks cocktail party. She obviously already had a rose from her 1on1 so I am sure that's what the drama is from. All speculation of course.

I'll have to respectfully disagree. I don't think Becca's comment was malicious. I do think it was sexual in nature, and she knew it, and such a comment would be playful/funny yet possibly embarrassing for Jackie. They're 20-somethings and these sexual innuendos are not even remotely subtle. I'd actually be shocked if they didn't connect the dots, no matter how wrapped up they are in the moment. Besides, this is Becca's second season, and I'm sure she's aware of how the show works.

I never even thought about it until I read it here. But then again I never thought about the volcanos or what was the other sexual innuendo lesson until it was brought to my attention either.

Pretty sure Becca's one liner was a producer line, imo. Puppets.

Ben rolls up to the mansion in a vintage convertible to whisk away Lauren B. to a private airport. Little do they know they will be flying in a tricked-out bi-plane over the mansion. The flyover sends the remaining bachelorettes below into a jealous frenzy. They land near a private hillside where a hot tub is nestled. The two share a quiet dinner, and then Ben surprises Lauren B. with a special performance by Lucy Angel, an American country music family trio, which is one of Ben’s favorites.
