The Bachelor returns for a two-night special on Monday and Tuesday. Here’s a handy breakdown of everything we’ve learned from the week’s trailer.

Fantasy Suite week on The Bachelor is finally here! We’re dying to see how the drama unfolds over the next few days.

The ABC preview for episode 9 teases a special two-night Bachelor event, so get that popcorn and wine ready! Here’s our breakdown of every riveting moment to come.

More shower time

At this point, can we all just agree that Colton’s shower is the secondary lead on this season of The Bachelor? After we watch him suds up, Colton talks about how he could be “making love for the first time” during Fantasy Suites. This is important information, as it indicates that he’s definitely open to physical affection this week.

However, it will be interesting to see if he ends up sleeping with the right person. After all, if he goes for the first girl and then ultimately ends up liking the second and third options better, won’t he have a bit of regret?

More making out

So. Many. Making out. Shots.

Seriously, I hope Colton has invested in a decent chapstick this season. The Bachelor: sponsored by Carmex.

FENCE JUMP

It’s about friggin’ time! After a season full of cruel teases, The Bachelor is *finally* promising that this week will bring on the infamous fence jump. Now that they’ve hyped it for so long, the bar is set pretty high. There better be a lot of drama for us to enjoy, ABC!

Cassie lets the tears flow

A shot shows Cassie crying, saying that she hates “that she thought this could work.” Right now, fans don’t know to what she is referring. We tend to like a theory presented by celebrity Mila Kunis, who went on Ellen to talk about how she thinks Cassie is crying because she ultimately rejects Colton somehow. After all, he has been saying all along that that is his biggest fear.

You can watch that clip here.

Women Tell All

Tuesday night brings one of the best episodes of every season: the Women Tell All. All our favorites are returning and it will be interesting to see if old rivalries are still going strong. Bring on Demi Burnett!

This week is gonna be huge. Which ladies are going to make it to The Bachelor’s Final Two?
