The Bachelor Arie Luyendyk heads to Italy on Monday night where the quest for the final rose will come to an end for three girls.
Now that Krystal is gone, Arie’s trip to Italy with the seven girls who remain will be relatively drama-free. However, this week’s episode is a big deal — The Bachelor will choose the four girls who will introduce him to their families on next week’s hometown dates episode. The only perk for the three girls who get eliminated is a free trip to Tuscany, Italy (and the possibility that they will end up on Bachelor in Paradise this summer).
Who goes on a one-on-one date this week, and which girls get stuck on the group date, and who goes home tonight? Here’s what fans can expect on The Bachelor Episode 7 (February 12), along with some scoop about a girl who leaves before the rose ceremony.
One-on-one dates
Becca K., Lauren B., and Seinne will all get a one-on-one this week. We assume roses won’t be handed out on dates. Arie will wait ’til the rose ceremony to make his picks for hometowns.
Becca K. and Arie will go on a picnic in Tuscany. Afew bottles of wine will probably be the focal point of their date. And lots of kissing with the camera zooming in way too close. (Get a room, kids!)
According to ABC, Seinne and Arie will “search for truffles” and eat dinner with a local family. Hope they actually get to eat the food.
Lauren B. gets another one-on-one date with Arie this week. They ride bikes and go shopping. Will they have more to talk about this week? Their last date was a total snooze-fest, but he obviously has a thing for her. Lauren tells Arie she is falling for him during dinner. Queue the make-out sesh and lots of uncomfortable kissing noises.
Group date and an early exit
Somewhere between the one-on-ones and the group date, Jaqueline decides to talk to Arie about their relationship. Or lack of relationship. ABC reveals that she knocks on his hotel room door to discuss where their future as a couple. We’re not sure if she does this before, during, or after the group date, but does it matter?

We all know there’s no chemistry there. Arie keeps talking about how he goes to bed by 9 p.m. Jacqueline plans to spend the next six years pursuing her Ph.D.
Spoilers point to Jacqueline leaving the show on her own and all we can say is, “You go, girl!” If Arie cries when she leaves, he’s faking it because we all know he was going to eliminate Jacqueline at the rose ceremony.
Group date: Bekah M., Kendall and Tia are picked for the last group date of the season. We’re not sure about Jacqueline, but it’s a moot point since we know she leaves.
The synopsis from ABC states that one girl throws someone “under the bus.” We assume someone complains about Bekah being too young.
That storyline is getting old really fast. We all know Arie isn’t going to pick Bekah, but she’ll be a great addition to Bachelor in Paradise.
Who goes home tonight?
Jacqueline leaves on her own after deciding she has no future with Arie. Reality Steve “thinks” Bekah is eliminated during the group date. Seinne is eliminated during the rose ceremony.
That means Becca K., Kendall, Tia, and Lauren B. will all get a hometown date next week. Is anyone surprised?
