Previously on
"The Bachelorette"...
I know how I feel,
and I'm not afraid.
When Dale stepped
out of the limo,
there was a connection with him.
But I'm so excited
at the quality of men.
I know that my husband
is in this group of guys.
What I wanted to say is,
you're crazy
to think that's okay.
You make ten guys strip down
butt naked and play dodgeball.
You wouldn't have stripped?
Hell no.
Not in a million years.
It just seemed classless.
She hasn't been living up
to who I thought Clare was
going into this.
I'm going to call her out.
And tonight...
What's one thing
y'all don't know about Dale?
Nothing, because he doesn't
shut the [bleep] up.
[laughter]
I was like, "Dang,
they're taking
a lot of digs at Dale."
Hate on. You can't hate on love.
Why are you so perfect?
You're perfect.
When I get quality time
with her,
like, it's a wrap.
People alluded
to prior to arriving here,
maybe they had been in contact
on social media.
Oh, damn.
The fact that he thinks
he's better than all of us?
He's not better than all of us.
[bleep] you.
It's almost like
they're already dating.
I'm pissed off right now.
If you want Dale
and that's what's up,
how 'bout the rest of us
walk out?
Everything was, like, great,
and then it just went--
[mimics expl*si*n]
I expected way more
from the oldest Bachelorette.
Are you serious?
That ain't right.
[sobbing]
I don't know how to go on.
A lot of guys are tripped up
by the shock of it.
I'm the oldest Bachelorette,
this 39 that's standing here
that's single,
because I didn't settle
for men like that.
It's all coming up tonight
on "The Bachelorette."
When she walked in that room
tonight, I was--
Oh, she looks gorgeous.
You know, she looks good.
Yes, bro. Like...
One of the sexiest qualities
about her,
she says what she means...
Yeah.
And means what she says.
Which I personally appreciate.
Like, when she checked us
the other night,
I was like... Yeah.
Do it again.
I appreciate it too.
It's like guys, in their mind,
are like,
"Damn, like, I gotta start,
like, going."
It's not, like, cruise control
to the Rose Ceremony.
Yeah.
So many people still here,
so...
Have any of you guys
talked to her tonight?
I haven't yet.
I haven't yet.
Definitely want to spend time
with her
and continue to build
that relationship.
Tonight's another
cocktail party
along with
another Rose Ceremony.
There's definitely
a sense of anxiety,
because everybody
wants to talk to Clare
and establish
a much stronger connection.
I don't wanna go home.
I wanna spend as much time
with Clare as I possibly can.
You have to show
something that she likes,
and if you don't get
an opportunity
to even talk to her...
Right, right, right.
How in the hell
do you get that done?
You know? Yeah. Yeah.
So it's just like, I'm--
it's interesting to see people
chomping at the bit.
I'm not sure, you know,
what tonight entails.
I mean, it's been
kind of a roller coaster week.
I came into this
excited about this, like, idea
that Clare is
the oldest Bachelorette
that's ever, you know,
that there's ever been.
She's supposed to be
the most mature.
But on our group date,
there was a red flag,
and again during last night's
group date,
with the naked dodgeball.
Was everybody okay
with the dodgeball?
Overall, yes, we were. Yeah?
We all put it behind us.
Okay, good, good, good.
A loss is a loss. [laughs]
We were talking about
how this would be something
we wanna tell our kids one day.
That's just raunchy humor,
and it's just
completely unacceptable
and completely classless.
You were thinking about
bringing it up tonight.
Yeah, yeah.
Speak on it, speak on it.
Yeah. You know, I don't know.
Like, that type of situation,
being a father...
you know,
if I were on that date,
hands down, I would've said no,
I'm not gonna do this.
I'm not gonna participate
in that.
The whole date,
the whole activity--
completely classless.
Distasteful.
I don't know. It's just like...
It's definitely, like,
showing me
some traits of her character,
as well as, you know,
what kind of...
you know, her maturity level.
I'm sorry, that's just--
that's just not something
that I myself would ever do.
We all have our line that,
you know, can't be crossed.
And I'm sorry,
that would be my--
that's my personal boundary.
So let's recircle here.
You're thinking
about bringing it up?
Based on what you--
[all talking at once]
Hold on, Bennett.
Based on what you know of me--
based on what you know of me,
what have I always done?
Yeah, you speak your mind.
Of course.
Exactly.
So, I mean, I think it's a--
It depends
how your conversation goes.
What I'm saying,
you're speaking your mind--
I mean, you're speaking
your mind now.
It's different when you get
to, you know, somebody else.
You gonna speak your mind
to Clare?
That's what I wanna know.
Riley, I promise you,
I'll, uh...
I'll definitely make sure that--
as I'm speaking
to everyone in here,
I'll be speaking to Clare.
That's just how I am.
I've lived in this whole thing
where you're timid
and you bottle stuff up.
I've done it before.
I've been there.
But it seems like you overlook
how important
the respect aspect is.
It's just like, man, listen,
you gotta...
you gotta calm down
a little bit.
I don't care
what these guys say.
I really don't.
I'm not gonna back down
from anyone,
including the Bachelorette.
You have to speak up
and stick to your g*ns.
I hope he's not trying to,
like, just make it seem like
she's the most evil person
in the world
for just wanting
to have some fun last night,
'cause that's
what he's kind of trying
to make it seem like
at the house, so...
I'm looking forward
to telling Clare
exactly how I feel
and wash my hands
of this atrocity.
Hey, guys. Hi.
Jordan... What's going on?
You mind if I have a moment
with Clare really quick?
Go for it, dawg.
I heard that Yosef was upset
by a couple of things
that Clare did
and that he was gonna, I guess,
address those issues.
Yeah.
I just hope he does it
the right way.
Don't make it an issue.
I just hope. I don't know.
I don't know.
[exhales]
I told you from the beginning
I'm gonna be open, honest, and--
Yeah. You know.
Only thing that I ask is really
that you just hear me out and--
Yeah. Of course.
You know, you just--
you give me a chance to say
all that I have to say.
Absolutely.
I mean, I feel like you got
a lot to say, so...
Yeah, so... I'm here.
Again, I said--
there's been a couple red flags
that just kinda came out to me,
and, you know,
the first thing that happened
was really in our group date.
I thought the date was going
absolutely amazing,
and, you know, we fast-forward
into the evening
and you basically said that,
you know,
like, "You guys are here
for me," okay?
And you're 100% correct.
We are here for you.
But, like, you're here
for us too.
Yeah. Absolutely.
Like, it's two-sided.
And I've sacrificed a lot
to be here.
I'm missing out on time
with my daughter.
Yeah.
And every second I'm here,
that's one second I've taken
away from being with my child.
Honestly, I get it.
My mom is dying.
Yeah. Let me--
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Go ahead. Go ahead.
Let me continue.
I'm sorry. Let me continue.
I totally understand.
Thank you. Thank you.
I found it really disrespectful.
I really did.
And it's been bugging me
for the past three days.
Like, it's been
really eating me up,
and I hate that
this is the first time
I've gotten to talk to you
about it.
Yeah.
The second thing is...
[scoffs]
I was absolutely appalled
at the group date
that occurred yesterday.
There was naked guys,
you know, doing--
or playing dodgeball together.
It's so humiliating
and degrading,
and I don't see
how that really translates
into finding a husband.
Like, who's willing
to strip down butt naked
and play dodgeball?
It seems very silly
and very immature.
Mm-hmm.
And I feel like
a lot of these guys,
they're appeasing you.
If I had been on that date,
I sure as hell wouldn't
have crossed that line.
Not in a million years
would I be caught dead
doing that.
Mm-hmm. All right?
Like, if my daughter saw me
doing that,
if my family saw me doing that,
like, think of the thought
that they would have.
Think of the example
that would be setting.
That's why
you were not on that date.
Well, I'm glad I wasn't.
Yeah.
I'm seriously glad I wasn't.
I was so appalled.
A completely classless display.
Mm-hmm.
I expected a lot more
from the oldest Bachelorette
that's ever been.
And I can't believe--
I can't believe
that that actually occurred.
That's not the type of example
I wanna set for my daughter.
You're not setting the right
example for my daughter.
Like, I feel like I even
have to explain now--
like, I'm ashamed to be
associated with you.
I can't believe I sacrificed
so much to be here
just to watch
this distasteful
and classless display.
I'm serious. Like, so appalled.
Going back to our first date,
I feel like you,
like, really overreacted
and honestly,
it sounded a little crazy.
It sounded like, why--
What sounded crazy? So--
What about me saying
that I want guys
who are here for me
and not trying to bro out
with each other
and wanna get to know me?
I'm looking for a husband.
I'm looking for someone--
Clare.
Clare, hold on. To love me.
I'm looking for some--
Hold on, Clare.
Hold on.
I've listened to you--
No, no, no, no.
This entire time.
No, no, stop.
Do not stop me.
I've listened to you
this entire time.
Do not interrupt me.
Like, seriously, I asked you--
I've listened to you
for the last 20 minutes.
And I'm not done yet.
I asked you, please--
You know what? You are done.
Let me tell you something.
The way you're talking to me
right now?
Never in a million years--
Clare.
Listen to me. Clare.
Listen to me. Hey, no.
Never in a million years--
No.
Did I ever think I would have
to utter these words again.
Do not ever talk to me
like that.
I never thought I'd ever have
to tell any man
that I would never want them
being the father of my child,
and I stand by that.
I would never want my children
having a father like you.
Get outta here. Clare.
Listen to me. Hey.
The [bleep]?
Are you serious?
Bro. Hey, believe it.
Get out of here.
You're not fit to be
a mother to my child.
That ain't right.
[bleep], man.
Hey, believe it.
Get out of here.
You're not fit to be
a mother to my child.
That ain't right.

You're completely classless,
Clare.
Classless.
Are you serious? Bro...
Yo, calm down,
over there, man.
Completely distasteful.
You gotta chill out, dude.
Bro.
I expected way more
from the oldest Bachelorette
in history.
Bro, what are you
talking about?
Go home, dawg. Go home.

Remember, you're almost 40.
Take your ass home, bro.
Are you kidding me?
Don't do that.
Don't be that guy.
Hey, she's all yours, boys.
Oh, I bet.
Bro, I'm so heated right now.
I'm trying not to, like--
But this is exactly
what I was talking about
the other day.
This is exactly what I was
talking about the other day.
Disrespectful as hell.

like you've never seen before.

to be cut short.

Clare's gone.
I still haven't
fully comprehended
what the hell's going on.
So I didn't see
what went down last night,
like, physically.
I heard about it,
but I heard you saw.
Yeah, all right,
so this is what happened:
I was having
some one-on-one time with Clare
and Yosef came over
and interrupted,
and then we noticed
how visibly upset Clare was,
and Yosef's walking
down the other side,
just, like, screaming
obscenities at her.
Like, continuing to throw digs.
That incident changed
her entire emotional outlook
on the night.
Like, she cut the night short.
It ended the night. Yeah.
She was wrecked after it,
you know, right away,
and, like, I've seen
my sisters, like, bawling,
just broke down, after--
not even physical--
like, just verbal abuse
at times,
and, like, Yo was trying to say
she was classless.
She's carried herself
with class and elegance
throughout this entire thing.
I'm already protective of Clare.
I have four sisters.
I'm the only boy.

like, I was pissed.
I don't know
what's gonna happen today,
but I just wanna spend
more time with Clare
and see her happy.
Don't know
what's gonna happen today.
I think
she's just gonna continue
to, like, test and challenge us.
That's gonna involve
just getting more quality time
so we can reveal
more of ourselves to her.
Morning, boys.
Hey. Good morning.
Hey. Good morning.
Last night, obviously
an emotional night for Clare,
an emotional night for you guys.
Didn't exactly go as planned.
One thing I can tell you
is that this process?
It will expose you.
You're going to be seen.
Yosef was seen

was really emotional.
I was struggling with Yosef,
but, like, when I was sobbing
and a mess
and snot and just a wreck,
I look over
and Dale's coming at me.
And it felt like
everything was lifted up.
Dale plus Clare.
Dale plus Clare.
Dale, Dale, Dale, Dale.
[knock at door]
I feel good about the men
that are still here.
But that special feeling,
though,
that doesn't come along often.
It's confusing.
It's a weird situation.
And I need some great advice.
[both scream]
Hey! [both laugh]
It's girls' day.
Surprise, surprise!
Hi, honey, how are you?
Hi. Hi.
How are you? Come on in.
I am so excited to be here
and visit with Clare
and get the down low
on all these guys.
There's a select few of us
that really know what it's
like to be the Bachelorette,
who love that she is getting
her turn to find love.
I want her to find
her fairy-tale ending.
Not many people can say
that they understand
the position I'm in,
the position that you were in.
It's been a very long time ago
since I have been in your shoes.
Not that long.
How long has it been?
I was on "The Bachelor"
So "The Bachelorette"
would've been 12 years ago.
And now I'm one husband
and two kids later.
Mm. So I...
Oh, my gosh. Won it all.
How are you?
I have so many good guys.
How many?
There were 31. Wow.
31 guys.
How was night one?
Really, really impressive.
There was one guy
who got out of the limo,
and I swear to God...
Oh. It was electricity.
[gasps] Dale.
Dale. His name is Dale.
I'm gonna be looking out
for Dale.
Look out for Dale.
He makes me, like...
everything else disappears.
Like, he checks the boxes
that I don't realize are boxes.
You know, you can see it.
I mean, just sitting here
talking with you,
like, you see--
I mean, look at your face.
You couldn't quite smile
any harder than what
you're doing right now,
You know what I'm saying?
I know, oh, my God.
Like, you're bleeding it
from the inside out.
Hopefully today,
we can kind of bring
that smile back, you know,
and just let her know,
you know, how special she is
and, you know, how important
she is
and cheer her up a little bit.
Clare's--
she's a strong woman.
She's shown it
time and time again.
I think when she woke up
this morning,
it was already past her. Yep.
I got roasted so bad
by this guy last night.
Oh, no. I listened to him
for, like, 20 minutes just...
rip me a new one.
And from the corner of my eye,
I see Dale coming,
trying to find me,
and he, like, swoops me up.
It made me feel like...
Sorry if I get emotional,
but, like, I've had to--
No, it's good. Feel it.
Stand up for myself
for so long.
Yeah.
And it was so nice
to have a man come over
and be like, "Let me help you
take care of this," you know?
And you know
why she's moved on?
Because she's got
That's what I'm
talking about, you know?
That she feels like
she's gonna be like,
"I have a great connection
with these guys,"
and we're all excited
and she deserves this
and, you know, we're thrilled.
This is gonna be fun, guys.
Yeah.
She's excited.
Yeah.
These are Dale's pants.
I mean, they smell like him.
Let me see.
[laughs]
Let's see what size they are.
Take a sniff.
Ooh, a 46. Oh, my God.
What does that even mean?
Oh, wow!
I don't know man sizes.
All night, I was like this.
I was sleeping and I was like--
[laughs] Dead. I was dead.
So that--why? What did he say?
It was actually super cute.
He ripped his pants
at the group date,
and then la--I was like,
"I want those as a gift."
He smells really nice.
He smells so good.
I feel like it's a group date
with all of her favorite guys.
Yes.
And it's like
a big pick-me-up...
Yeah. Type of date for her.
Yeah, I'm excited to get
this thing started, man.
We just want a good,
positive, clean vibe today.
Yeah.
Everybody's focused on her.
I think that's what she wants
from us today.
Have you wavered at all?
No. No.
Oh, my gosh.
Have you ever heard that saying
where someone says to you,
like, when you know, you know?
I had never experienced that
before I met my husband.
Yeah.
I'm telling you, it is true.
Like, you knew. I just knew.
I knew that I would not be okay
without this person in my life
for the rest of my life.
Like, you would say,
like, it feels like--
it's a feeling you haven't felt?
It's--you know when you know.
Yeah.
When DeAnna said
that she felt that way
about her husband,
I was like,
"I know exactly
what she's talking about."
I'm in trouble.
Oh, my gosh.
This might be
the shortest season ever.
I know! [both laugh]

This day actually went by
pretty fast.
[exhales]
Does anyone have any idea
what time it is?

So we've been waiting
all day for this date.
We kinda sat around.
Hour passed,
couple hours passed,
three hours, four hours,
and it's like, "Come on, Clare."
Come on,
what's going on, dude?
[door clicks] [gasps]
Hello. [all cheering]
Whoo! [laughs]
Whoa. Hi, guys.
Good evening. There she is.
I'll sit over here. Oh!
So we originally had...
a day date planned.
But obviously,
it's getting late.
[laughs]
And essentially, I scratched
the daytime date
just to have a really long
cocktail party tonight,
because to me, what matters
is the quality time,
and this is what I really want.
This is what I'm here for
is to have
these quality conversations.
So I just wanted to come over
and give you guys
a heads up on that,
'cause I know
it's taken a minute.
So I'm gonna get ready,
and I will see you guys there.
[all agree] Cool?
Yay.
Thank you guys.
Sorry to make you guys wait.

Clare let the guys know
that she was just gonna cancel
the day portion of the date.
You know, at least for me,
I'm feeling anxious.
Just so curious
and wanting clarity
on what is going on.
Lot of curveballs,
so never really know
what's gonna happen,
to be honest, so...
Obviously, I would've loved
to have the group date,
but I'm just staying,
you know, positive.
It's all I can really do.
All right, fellas.
We have a date to get ready for.
Let's go.
Honestly, like, I prefer this,

wanna sound, like,
arrogant or overly confident,

quality time with her,

Date night. Whoo!
So Clare decided to cancel
the day portion
of our group date,
but I get an opportunity
to see Clare,
so I am just
really looking forward
to, you know,
get close to her again.
Hi. Would you look at that!
Whoo! Hey.
How are you?
Doing good, doing good.
I'm kinda bummed
that the day portion
was canceled
because I think
that would have been
an opportunity for me
to get in there and shine.
Time is everything here,
and I'm just focused on Clare,
so time to have some time.
Oh.
Okay, okay.
Come on over.
Clare, first of all, looked
absolutely amazing tonight.
But honestly, it was just
refreshing to see her.
I wanna get to know her better,
to keep building
our relationship,
and, of course, getting
the Group Date Rose tonight
would be huge.
Cheers to spending
quality time together.
Yes. Cheers.
To quality time. Cheers.
Cheers to that.
I don't know, like--
you know, obviously,
there's a lot of people
that want quality time tonight
and everything.
With everything that went on
last night,
just personally,
there's a few things with that,
so, like, if I can speak
with Clare first,
even if it's for five minutes,
I would greatly appreciate that.
And this was nothing to try
to like, jump the g*n, so--
but I wanna be just respectful
of everything--everyone,
'cause I know that's been
a reoccurring thing
and I don't take that lightly.
Let's go?
Let's do this thing.
All right.
Oh, and we gotta get
a group hug.
Group hug? Yeah.
You need some love.
Oh! Come on.
Oh, you guys! all: Aww.
There's nothing
but good vibes today.
Good vibes. Good vibes.
Such good vibes.
Dale's all right.
Dale, I mean...
Dale's fine.
But today, when he hit us
with the speech
and the group hug,
it's too much for me to handle.
Look where we're at.
Casa de la Clare.
Oh, okay. [laughs]
Clare and I have
a special connection.
I'm not ashamed or afraid
of taking that initial step.
This is my dining room.
Okay.
The biggest thing, for me,
is just, you know, have fun
and spend time together.
Here, have a seat.
As crappy as that was
having that idiot do that,
everything you and I were
talking about
earlier in that night...
Mm-hmm.
Of, like, feeling alone
and feeling like you have
to face things alone...
Yeah.
It was just nice
to turn around
and see you there.
You know, it just
really bothered me.
I've seen the verbal abuse
that women in my life
have gone through.
I've seen how words can cut
and really have
a lingering effect,
and even for you
to carry yourself
in the way you did
and then after the fact,
like, I'm proud of you.
And that's all I wanted
to do tonight
is just check in, like,
let you know that I'm here,
and, like, simple, just say
that, like, I'm proud of you.
Like, this isn't easy
at all, and...
My hands are sweaty too.
My hand is--
Am I making you nervous?
Kind of. Oh!
Oh, I'm not
making you nervous?
No, you're not
making me nervous.
You should be nervous.
You should be laying
like this on me, huh?
Ooh.
I'll give you hugs, though.

See ya.
Looking at Dale's face,
God, he looks so hot
in his hat today!
I mean, I'm not gonna lie,
I was ready to "game on"
in the bedroom with Dale
last night.
It was hard to hold back.
But I'm in it today.
I'm in it with Zach.
I am present,
and I'm really excited
to find out
if this is something
that's gonna work.
I was so pumped when I got
that card last night.
You have no idea. [laughs]
On a scale of one to ten,
how fired up are you?
I was--an 11.
I can feel it, to be honest.
Being selected by Clare
to spend the whole day with her,
I mean, that's huge.
It's powerful,
it's scary, it's great,
all at the same time.
We... Yeah?
Are gonna have
a spa day today.
Whoa! Really? [laughs]
Okay.
We're gonna do
massages, pedicures...
And I wanna get
to know her more.
I really am interested
in who she is as a person.
Like, where she sees herself
in the future.
Like, I wanna know all that,
but if she wants to have
just fun all night
and jump in my arms again
and lay some kisses on me--
pffft! Deal.
All right, so this is the first
pedicure I've ever gotten.
You've never had a pedicure?
Mm-mm.
[both laugh]
But it's cool.
Oh, are you ticklish?
Well, on the bottom
of your feet,
I think everybody is.
So this is gonna be-I'm not.
Really? Yeah.
Okay, welcome.
Both: Hi. Hello.
Are you two enjoying
your day so far?
Both: Yeah. Good.
So good. Whew.
You okay? Yeah.
[laughs] I love pedicures.
That's kinda what I do
to just unwind.
Yeah. Thank you.
I... I'm very happy
to be here and...
[sighs]
Where am I going? Up here?
Yeah. Okay.
Okay. Just leave 'em?
[laughs]
This is gonna be good.
[both laugh]
So I guess I do have
a couple ticklish spots, yeah.
[both laugh]
Sorry.
Am I making a weird face?
Oh. No.
[laughs]
Yeah, it's pretty cool
to be in this situation
where she wants to treat me
to something,
but I'm
a pretty high-strung guy,
so getting relaxed takes a lot.
Is this like
the worst date ever for you?
You hate feet?
I mean, it's a little bit
outside my comfort zone,
but I'm absolutely happy
to do it.
I could be getting a tattoo
on my foot right now
and I'd be having a good time.
You gotta go through some
tough things along the way.
I mean,
I've never bungee jumped,
but if you told me to right now,
I'd be like, "Let's go."
Yeah.
Everything's been great
so far.
I could see her laughing
and having a great time
and just enjoying the moment,
and so can't wait
to see what's next.
It's supposed to help
with wrinkles.
It's a snack for later.
For the lips, obviously.
[laughs]
Ten years younger instantly.
Is it relaxing?
I'm trying.
Zach J. has always come
with a lot of energy.
As time has gone by, though,
that excited energy has
channeled into nervous energy,
and it stresses me the heck out.
It's just like,
in moments like this,
I wish Dale was here.
♪ ♪
Clearly, Zach is,
you know, in love,
but Clare, we don't know.
Like, they could get an hour
into this,
and she could be like,
"I'm just not feel--
like, this is done," or, like,
he could end up not coming back
because he's staying
at her place tonight.
Coming off of last night,
there's some guys
that are very curious to see
whether or not Zach J.
Can redirect the attention
off Dale.
You know,
I'm a little unsure here.
I think it's very unsettling
that she can allow someone
to get, like, extra time
and not be cognizant
of, you know, what's happening
in the situation
on group dates sometimes.
Yeah, I'm not a big fan
of what happened last night.
If Clare is looking for somebody
who just wants to speak and talk
the whole entire time
without listening,
go be with Dale.
There might be something
behind that
where they've had
more communication
that we don't know about.
People alluded to the fact
that maybe they had been
in contact
prior to arriving here--
so I don't know.
Like, I don't know
what the truth is
about all this stuff.
There was this whole
like rumor mill
that maybe her and Dale
have been
in communication
on social media,
and some guys,
you know, are pretty vocal
about feeling
as if they were further along
in this process.
That being said,
it's the first quarter
and I might be down
I have a great
passing att*ck, so--
Let's go. Let's go.
Let's spread the ball out, baby.
Whoo!
Do it, do it. Okay.
Whoo! [laughs]
[laughs]
You ready? I should get on this.
You made it. There we go.
So far, on today's date,
I've been getting
this very weird energy
from Zach.
But the truth is,
now having somebody like Dale
in my life
puts things
into a weird position
with other people.
I just wish...
oh, I wish I could see Dale.
You know what though?
Like, no.
I'm just respecting the process.
Oh. Look who it is!
A relationship
can be really hard,
because you could be
giving the signals
and they're not receiving 'em,
or they're showing their love
a certain way
and I'm not feeling it.
I really wanna give Zach
a chance
because who knows?
Maybe I'm communicating
with him the wrong way.
I'm actually going
to take her inside,
but if you wanna go get ready
and then I'm gonna get ready
and we'll have dinner?
Yep. Cool?
[suspenseful music]
What? Oh, [bleep]!
No--wait--no,
why did you stop?
What are you doing?
I was right there.
Wait, hold on.
Why'd you stop?
Let's get ready for dinner.
No, what happened--
Nothing. Hold on.
Let's get ready for dinner.
[laughs]
Clare leaned in to kiss me,
and maybe she was
as far as she could lean
and she thought
I was trying not to,
but absolutely not.
How come you stopped?
Uh, let's just get ready
for dinner.
No... [laughs]
What happened?
What happened? Nothing.
Nothing happened. I didn't stop.
I know.
That's what--I was right there.
Oh. I was trying to--
It's okay.
No, I was trying to kiss you.
It's okay.
It's fine. No, it's not.
Yeah, it is.
I'm gonna go inside.
Come here, Honey. [whistles]
Honey, come on.
[tense music]
I don't know
what just happened.
It's a huge mix-up. Huge.
I mean, I was trying
to kiss her.
Just the look on her face,
like, it was the instant--
like, she was hurt.
And that's never my intention.
It's just
the worst possible thing.
And I don't know
what else I could've done.
♪ ♪
Zach just made me feel
extremely uncomfortable.
I go in for the kiss to Zach,
he pulls away,
and the second I just try
to walk away,
he grabs me.
That kind of triggers me
and kinda scared me.
I didn't wanna be near him
in that moment.
If I wanna walk away
because I'm uncomfortable,
let me walk away.
I might be a little
extra sensitive about it
because I have done all the work
these last few years
on healing my traumas,
but I don't wanna figure it out,
I don't wanna ask, I don't
even wanna talk about it.
This is not something
that needs to be discussed.
[crickets chirping]
[exhales]
[footsteps]
Hey, Zach. How you doing, man?
Good. How are you? Good.
I know I'm not the dinner date
you were expecting,
but you mind if I have a seat
for a sec?
Please do.
Sorry to barge in. Mm-hmm.
But unfortunately,
Clare's not coming to dinner.
I mean, there was
a misunderstanding there,
and I don't know
how that possibly happened.
Yeah.
She leaned in for a kiss.
She thought I was pulling away,
and I absolutely was not.
Like, I had a great day
with her,
and then
that one little hiccup and...
yeah, I thought it was...
I thought we were
in a solid spot.
Unfortunately, that means
you're gonna be going home.
I'm sorry, man.
[somber music]
♪ ♪
If he comes back, I think
that'll just kinda confirm
a little bit
that they do in fact have
a pretty strong connection.
Yeah, I don't know.
Obviously, I mean,
we all wouldn't want
to see him come back.
[door hinges squeaks]
Oh!
What? No way.
And there's your answer.
Oh, damn.
It was sobering to see
Zach's bags taken this evening.
♪ ♪
We're polar opposite guys,
you know, very, very different,
but still, bottom line,
I think we're all vulnerable.
This was a competition to him,
and, like, if you come
into this as a competition,
you've lost.
I'm not surprised,
because with Clare, it's like,
you know, you have Dale,
and then everybody else is
literally
just in the background.
So you're not shocked at all?
No.
It's gonna be
a tense situation
on the group date
because it's like,
is Clare gonna give
anybody else a chance
to form a great connection,
or what am I doing here?
Like, what are we all
doing here?
[dramatic music]
Coming up...
all: Dale.
What's one thing
y'all don't know about Dale?
Nothing, because he doesn't
shut the [bleep] up.
[laughter]
They're taking a lot of digs
at Dale.
It's not okay.
She took
some stuff personally.
Clare has a massive crush
on Dale.
She's got total tunnel vision.
I feel like I'm wasting
my time being here.
If you want Dale,
how 'bout the rest of us
walk out?
And then,
are the shocking rumors
about this season true?
In the 18 years
I've been doing this show,
we've never dealt with
anything like this.
I don't know what the truth
is about all this.
We caught you in a lie.
You won't believe
what happens next.
Boom. It's over.
This is hard. [sobbing]
Hi. Hi, guys.
How are you?
So good. How are you guys?
Is it awkward--can I run?
Is that--
Run, please!
So the date card said,
"Don't take it personally."
Super excited to have my name
on the date card,
'cause God knows I need
some kind of interaction
with Clare.
I have no idea what we're doing.
Hopefully, nothing to do
with Dale.
I'm excited for this date,
because what we've got going
inside is beyond exciting,
and I truly do hope you guys
don't take it personally.
Come on inside. Whoo!
I'm glad that Dale's staying
at home today for sure.
He certainly caught Clare's eye,
so I'm glad he's sitting
at home today
while us guys
are sh**ting our sh*t.
Hi.
Oh, it is the roast.
Roast--it is what it is.
Whoo! Clare, come here.
Come here. Come here. Okay.
[laughs]
Guys, if you haven't noticed,
the wonderful Margaret Cho,
Grammy-nominated,
Emmy-nominated,
like, queen of comedy.
But I didn't win, so...
[laughter]
She's here helping me
to help you guys
roast each other.
It's one big roast fest,
you guys.
I'm Korean American, right?
I've known Margaret Cho--
you know, I've known about her
my whole life.
She is a legend, and I hope
I don't let her down.
We're gonna roast
everybody, right?
Roast 'em all.
And Clare loves a bold man.
I do love a guy who is bold,
and I do love a guy
who can roll with the punches
and loves to laugh, so come up
with your best jokes.
Show me what you guys got.
And it wouldn't be a roast
without a live audience.
And the audience is gonna be
the rest of the guys
from the house.
[tense music]
So the rest of the guys
are gonna be the audience.
Yeah, it sucks.
Unfortunately, that means
Dale's gonna be there.
Dale takes up a lot of attention
and energy right now,
so that's just more time,
attention, and energy
that I could potentially
get from Clare,
so it seems like
we might continue on
with this whole
Dale and Clare show.

♪ ♪
Personally, I know
that I'm gonna get
ripped to shreds
for being Bennett
and, you know,
dressing ridiculously
and all those things,
but I'm really,
really looking forward
to dishing it out to Dale.
Wow, look at this!
We got tuxes.
Guys. Come on, now.
Come on, now.
Dale has been given
too much attention,
and Clare's sipping
the Kool-Aid at this point.
So I think he's gonna get
torn a new one today,
personally.

Here's our audience.
The rest of the men came over
from the villas.
Welcome to
the Bachelorette's roast.
I am your host tonight,
Chris Harrison.
She's the queen of comedy.
Cut her teeth at the Friars Club
that created the roast.
Give it up for Margaret Cho.
Yay! [cheers and applause]
Yay!
Chris Harrison,
no roasting for you.
Just the Jonas Brothers
tabernacle choir.
There's, like, so many of you!
Look at these men.
How are you gonna do this?
You need to bump up
the testosterone.
I mean, can you feel
the masculinity
coming off in waves over here?
Like, it's kinda
knocking me out.
Bennett, with you,
I feel like it's--
you scare me.
I feel like at some-[laughter]
I feel like at some point,
there's gonna be
a true crime podcast about you.
I just really, you know,
[laughter]
don't k*ll anybody.
[laughter and applause]
So we were all asked
to come up here tonight
in front of Clare
to riff a little bit
on the guys in the house.
Bennett. My sweet Bennett.
Bennett was at Harvard
with Mark Zuckerberg,
and they have a lot in common.
They're both pasty white,
super rich,
and nobody really likes 'em.
[laughter]
Kenny, unlike your time
on this show,
your tattoos are permanent.
[laughter] Oh.
All jokes aside,
we are here for Clare.
I'm really looking forward
to doing this all again
at the wedding.
I know you're thinking
it's between Dale and Clare,
but it's my wedding with Clare.
Thank you
for letting me be here.
[cheers and applause]
Ben k*lled it today.
That's what makes a good joke
is when you can still deliver it
but not hurt
somebody's feelings.
I love to laugh
and have a good time,
so come at me
with some good material, guys.
NFL guy here, Dale.
Dale, your last name's Moss,
right?
I think the only reason
teams were signing you
is 'cause they thought
Randy Moss was your dad.
[scattered laughs]
There's this dude Dale, right?
Like--but, like, I get
in the limo
and it's like, Dal-aye.
I'm like, bro,
there's one Dal-aye
and it's Dalai Lama,
and it ain't you, so, like--
your name's Dale, bro.
I was like,
"Dang, they're taking
"a lot of digs at Dale.
"Like, is this something
I need to be aware of?
Is this something
I need to know about?"
What's one thing
y'all don't know about Dale?
[laughter]
Nothing, because he doesn't
shut the [bleep] up.
[laughter]
Just on and on and on
about Dale
to the point
where it was uncomfortable.
Dale.
[laughter]
Where, oh, where do I begin?
[laughter] Take your--
Take your time, Bennett.
So here's the thing, you know:
Dale has been sort of given
this frontrunner word
thrown around.
I think it's totally
ridiculous and complete BS
and Clare needs to hear it.
How long do you really think
it's going to take Clare
to figure out that you're here
trying to campaign for president
and actually have no interest
in her?
[scattered laughs] Aye.
Zing.
Your speeches make
absolutely no sense
no matter how long you continue
your run-on sentences.
I've witnessed
three cameramen collapse
after falling asleep
listening to you.
[laughter]
Bennett let loose.
Anytime you see
somebody laughing, it's like--
[laughs]
You see that little...
and it's like they go back
to laughing, it hit him.
You look like
the boa constrictor
from "The Jungle Book,"
and it's only a matter of time
before Clare snaps
out of your spell.
[laughter] Ooh, Bennett.
Everyone that's coming at him,
I'm just like--
[exhaling uncomfortably]
"Ooh, that--
that one hurt,"
you know what I mean?
That--ooh, that one landed
a little bit.
That one--I felt that one
in my soul.
I felt that one.
Since you've said
that you're the "best suited"
for Clare,
do me favor
and at least swing by my chateau
for a little lesson in fashion
for the big day,
you big diva.
[laughter and cheering]
Bennett said what all the guys
in the house
have been wanting to say.
He said what everybody hoped
that Clare
would one day realize,
but we didn't know we would
actually have an opportunity
to say these type of things
in front of Clare.
That was awkward.
That was
the most awkward one, huh?
I hope that it allows her
to wanna ask Dale more questions
about himself
and who he truly is
and why he's truly here.
Fellas, what'd you think?
Audience?
Great job. Good job, guys.
Great job. Bravo.
Like, across the board.
Yeah, yeah.
Like, he really went so hard.
It was, like, digs, and that--
Boys, good job.
Way to bring it tonight.
If some of these guys
are picking up
on Dale and I's relationship
and the connection
him and I have,
guess what?
It's because I like him.
That's why.
And that's what I'm here for.
That's the whole point.
Are you new here?
All right, good work, boys.
Bennett, thanks for being you.
Thanks, buddy.
That was good.
[tense music]
Hey. Yup.
Huh?
So what?
I have feelings for Dale.
We have a connection.
That's the truth.
I'm not trying to hide anything.
Hate on. Hate on.
You can't hate on love though.
Like, you can't hate on it.
The roast tonight was good.
You got flamed man.
I'm not gonna lie.
[laughs] Dude, I got scorched.
You got flamed. I'll own it.
I should--rightfully so.
Like, after the other night,
like, it was coming,
and it should've, you know?
Yeah.
But I took it, owned it.
Like, I felt terrible.
I just want you to get, like,
where we came from from that.
It was like, yo,
sometimes the vibe with you
is just like Dale doesn't
respect people's time.
Dale, like, is all about him,
and, like,
sometimes Dale,
like, talks in circles,
and, like, he wants people
to see this persona.
But I just think
that, like, sometimes
you need to put yourself in,
like, other people's situation
of, like, damn,
I see how that looks
from whatever,
and then just correct it.
Yeah, yeah.
You know what I mean?
And own it. Yeah.
I'll own every bit of it.
It's like
we can either linger on this
or we can, like, move forward.
Yeah.

Hi, guys. Hi.
Earlier today,
went to the roast,
and everyone
was getting on Dale.
I think a lot of guys
just kind of felt like
it was time to air
a couple things out,
and a roast is
a pretty perfect setting
to do that, so I think
a lot of the guys
had some
pretty quality material.
Thankfully,
Dale is not here tonight,
so looking forward
to the cocktail party
and getting a little bit more
one-on-one time.
I hope you guys
had so much fun today.
I love a good roast.
I was like, that's what
he feels about that?
[laughter, chatter]
What was the most
surprising thing you heard?
I mean, we'll have
some conversations.
We'll have some conversations
'cause there's a lot
that I was like,
"Ah, I didn't know that.
I wanna know more about that."
So should I start it off
with Bennett?
Sure.
I'd love to talk to you.
Awesome, fantastic. Cool?
Thank you, great.
The roast went well.
I lit Dale up.
Hopefully, we'll step off
of the roasting a little bit
and have some good, heartfelt,
you know,
impactful conversation.
Just, you know, ready to stop
talking about Dale.
You went for Dale so hard.
You know--
You had like
three pages of Dale.
There was a few pages
of Dale, you know?
What was that?
You know, I think
it was kind of appropriate.
Yeah? What do you mean?
I think he's been, you know,
perhaps monopolizing
a little bit of Clare time.
Is he?
So I thought it was,
you know, only appropriate.
Someone needed to do it.
What did you say?
I was trying to think
of what you said--
that he
self-proclaimed something.
Frontrunner
or best suited for Clare,
which is really--
Like he says
he's the frontrunner?
Honestly, I gave Dale
enough airtime, you know,
during the roast.
I'd love to kind of
finish that conversation
and move on, you know,
to something else, but--
Yeah, what was
the conversation
that he was saying
that he was thinking
he's the best suited for me?
[sighs]
It's crazy how Dale
was not even technically
on this date today,
and this date was still
about Dale and I.
[chuckles]
How'd it go?
You know, it was like
a little bit too much
Dale airtime.
I wanna see
if it was a jealousy thing,
because it was a long,
long roast of Dale.
A little too long.
You know, we roasted Dale.
Could be in our favor if she
sees him in a new light,
but it also could backfire
if that's, you know,
the main topic of conversation.
She probably likes Dale,
is interested in Dale,
but she probably wouldn't say
in her mind
that he would be
the top dog or best suited,
so she was probably
rubbed the wrong way
hearing that Dale could have
said those kind of things.
That's such a good point,
because a lot of jokes
fell flat, you know?
But none of the Dale jokes
fell flat.
No. Like, they all hit hard.
No, they were popping.
Everyone was laughing.
So this was probably
a little bit
of a shock for her, and she
just wants to find out more.
Your roast was just delivered.
Well, I mean, there's
a little truth in everything.
Because you took
some, like, digs.
You said you were coming
to mine and Dale's wedding
or something like that.
Oh, no, that's
just a little joke.
What's the joke?
Your joke
or between you and him or what?
No, I think
it was just a little play
on, you know,
him making comments
about being the best suited
or something like that.
What have been his comments?
Fill me in.
I tend to stay
out of most of that.
I appreciate the interaction
that we share,
and, like, I'm not
really concerned with him.
I have not brought up
another man to her,
but she asked me
directly about Dale.
Like, I wanna know
more about this woman,
and that doesn't come
from conversations about Dale.
You were taking sh*ts.
Was I?
Yeah, taking sh*ts
at Dale, hardcore.
I felt bad.
It was almost like
"Gossip Girl,"
trying to figure out
what's really going on,
asking about Dale.

What is the joke?
Talk to me about this.
I'd like to know what goes on

Not really.

their relationship

she was really in it--
she was in that moment

It literally
feels like right now
she's only interested in Dale
in this whole house,

I'm wasting my time being here.
Wow.
And it's almost like
they're already dating,
and we're all just
[bleep] around here.
That's how I feel.
Well, I specifically
only made one joke about Dale
that was, like, very small
and at the very end of my set,
and she brought up
the one-sentence joke
that I said about Dale, but
I had 43 jokes in that set.
But I just
don't think it's fair
if she's not giving
other people even--
A chance.
Like, it seems like--
are they already, like,
in a relationship, and like--
I hear you, man.
I don't think that's the case.
No?
We're very, very early on

Clare's--she's
a smart, mature girl.
I don't think it's a done deal.
Who else has she really shown
that kind of interest in
in this house?

nobody comes to mind.
Hello.
All right, all right,

means a lot to me.
The thing
that is my saving grace
is that I know
what I'm looking for,
and I know what I want.
I feel, tonight,
like I have
a lot to think about,
and I actually did not get
what I needed with you guys.

So...
right now I feel like this rose,
I won't be able
to give this out tonight,
but I'm gonna go
sleep on things.
I have a lot to think about,
and I'll see you guys
at the Rose Ceremony tomorrow.
Okay. Sounds good.
Okay?
All right, you guys have
a good night, okay?
You too. Thanks, Clare.
Good night, Clare. Yes.
You too. Bye, guys.
Good night. Sleep well.
Good night. Good night.

So I think
one of us deserved it.
I would rather
somebody have gotten that rose
than this feeling. Yeah, yeah.
'Cause this feels
like [bleep].
Why are we even doing this date?
It would appear to me that,
like, she took
some stuff personally.
Is she a little perturbed
that we made fun
of her man right now?
I really don't think
I can sit there
and go, "You dished
on my fiancé so hard."
Like, I can't be doing
that [bleep], you know?
Like, it doesn't feel right.
I like Dale.
That's not a surprise.
And you're making fun
of Dale and I's connection?
Like, it's not okay.
Clare, thank you
for showing up tonight.
I just wanna let you know
that I'm so proud of you
for being bold,
saying how you feel,
speaking up, living your truth,
and showing up for me.
You, tonight, deserve this rose.
This is what's so beautiful
about, like, mine and Dale's
relationship right now
is that I feel confident in it,
and I feel like
that I am literally
on the right path.
Oh, it feels so good.
That was pretty much, like,
worst case scenario
ending, honestly.
Yeah.
Like, give it to somebody.
Like, do you not see one of us
making it past this week?
Like?
Could you honestly tell me
anybody else, legit,
in the house right now
that she is showing
any interest towards?
Does anybody come to mind
besides Dale?
No. I don't know.
I mean, like, Clare
has a massive crush on Dale.
She's got total tunnel vision.
That's what that felt like
to me, like, almost--
She doesn't really care
about anybody else
or giving anybody else
a fair shake besides Dale.
This process is supposed
to be for Clare
to find a husband.
Well, if she already found it,
then what are we doing?
'Cause she's obviously
not giving anybody else
a chance anyway.
If you wanna go be with Dale,
go be with him now,
and we'll all go home.
Right.
If you already
got a boyfriend,
the [bleep] am I doing here?
Right.
If you want Dale,
and that's what's up,
you really want him,
if you wanna get crazy,
let's get [bleep] crazy.
How about
the rest of us walk out?

Next week

[sobs]
The path we're on right now,
it doesn't end well for anybody.
I just waited
so long for this.
Okay.
You've just blown up
"The Bachelorette."
[tense music]
[sobbing]
This is hard.
Clare's gone,
and I still haven't, like,
fully comprehended
what the hell's going on.
What about me? Just tell me.
That's all I wanna know.
This is
a two-way [bleep] street.
Doesn't seem to make sense
to me right now.
You can tell the guys are
getting drained and fed up.
You're gonna start seeing
a different side of me.
It's frustrating as hell.
I'm gonna freak
the [bleep] out.
We put ourselves on the line.
We did everything you asked.
I'll apologize
if I wasted your time.
I'll apologize if I hurt you.
Why am I here?

Everything

Now the beautiful

[cheers and applause] Yay!
Oh, hey.
Welcome to Clare's
Extreme Strip roast.

I guess what easier way
to start off a roast
than with the roast master
himself, Chris Harrison.
I feel like you're such
a romantic, Chris.
I bet before you seal the deal,
you lean in and whisper,
"Let the journey begin."

True story. That's true.
In all seriousness,
I saw what was happening
in strip dodgeball
the other day.
I thought shrinkage happens
when it's cold out,
not hot out.

Joe, I'm just glad that
whenever I need a good nap,
you really know
how to put me to sleep.

Anesthesiology joke.
Brendan, I didn't realize

Honestly, I thought
I sent you home last week.
