Here are the spoilers for tonight’s episode, which is #6 overall, but only #2 for Tayshia.

It starts out with a group date called the Grown azz Man Challenge. Hosted by Ashley I & Jared, the guys compete in “grown azz man” challenges like spelling, math, tug of war, breakfast in bed, etc. Bennett can’t spell limousine and is horrible at math, however he wins the “Grown azz Man” Award. Ed is given the “Man Child” Award, and has to carry around a fake baby until I guess Tayshia tells him he doesn’t have to anymore.

At the group date after party, Chasen and Ed get into because Ed thinks Chasen isn’t there for the right reasons. Calls him a fraud, phony, an actor, and says he said the same things to Clare he’s saying to Tayshia, so it builds up their feud for what’s to come. This episode is very much the Ed/Chasen show. Ivan ends up getting the group date rose.

The Ed/Chasen feud continues at the cocktail party before the rose ceremony. Tayshia pulls Chasen aside and isn’t thrilled with how things have gone. Chasen says he might’ve been too aggressive.

Rose Ceremony Elminations: Montel Hill and Peter Giannikopoulos.

So I think this might be a little confusing to people because they aren’t showing episodes normally. In a normal, non-COVID season, this would be like Tayshia’s episode #2 that would normally have group date, 1-on-1, group date. But because the first 2/3rds of the episode are of the Grown azz Man Challenge, the after party, the cocktail party before the rose ceremony, and then the rose ceremony, we only see two dates this episode. So when you see the rose ceremony tonight, that would normally be her first rose ceremony after her first set of dates. If episodes ended with rose ceremonies, this episode would end here, and next week’s set of dates would be next episode. But that’s not what’s happening.

The next “episode” begins with a group date. The guys get oiled up and get “training” from two women in the WWE and UFC and have matches against each others. Chasen and Ed are both on this date, so before you ask why did they both get two dates this episode, it’s because the way the show being edited and episodes not ending with rose ceremonies. They are both on this date, and all guys that aren’t on this date are in the crowd watching the matches take place.

Chasen wrestles pretty much everyone and keeps winning, thus, building towards a final match with Ed. Ed says his shoulder is dislocated so he can’t fight Chasen in the finals. Noah is not on the date but in the group of guys watching and steps up and says he’ll fight Chasen. Chasen beats Noah in the finals.

The guys become envious of Noah because he got Tayshia’s attention and was part of a date he wasn’t technically on. He also gets to be a part of the group date after party. Tayshia gives Noah the group date rose and the episode ends with a lot of the guys being upset at Noah for getting Tayshia’s attention, which is a little head scratching.
