The tension was high as emotions started to come into play among the contestants during Monday night's episode of ABC's hit reality dating competition series "The Bachelor." One girl broke under the pressure and sent herself home, while another girl was the center of the drama as the contestants' jealousy took over during week three.
First One-on-One Date
Lauren B. received the first date card, and being a flight attendant, she's no stranger to the skies. But Ben Higgins decided to give her a completely different experience and took her out for a ride on a biplane, a smaller aircraft, to a secluded location where a hot tub was waiting for them. They got to know one another during the nighttime portion of the date, which included a surprise Lucy Angel concert in a barn. During their date, Higgins and Lauren B. bonded over how they both enjoy the "simple things" in life, and Lauren B. received a rose.
Group Date
Amanda, Haley, Jennifer, Shushanna, Leah, Amber, Lauren H., Olivia, Jamie, Rachel, Lace and Emily were chosen for the group date and the ladies headed to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum for a game of soccer with World Cup-winning U.S. National Soccer Team members Alex Morgan and Kelly O'Hara. The ladies were split up into teams and the winning team would win a date with Higgins. Olivia, Amber, Haley, Lace, Leah and Jami won the date. Olivia sparked drama during the evening when she stole Higgins away for one-on-one time, but Amber won the date rose.
Second One-on-One Date
Jubilee received the second date card, beating out Becca and JoJo. The women were offended when Jubilee jokingly offered to give up her date with Higgins because it involved a helicopter ride and she is afraid of heights. But Jubliee went on her date with Higgins as planned, and even called him out for being 20 minutes late. She felt comfortable enough to open up to Higgins during their date, where they noshed on food and hanging out in a hot tub, and told him about her past as an adopted child and a war veteran. Higgins appreciated her honesty and gave her a date rose, which upset the rest of the ladies in the house because they felt that Jubilee was undeserving or unappreciative - and drama ensued.
Rose Ceremony
Lauren H., Amanda, Becca, Haley, Emily, Rachel, Kayla, JoJo, Jennifer, Leah and Olivia all earned roses during the ceremony. Shushanna and Jami didn't make the cut, and Lace tearfully sent herself home.
