The Bachelorette week 3 power rankings: A little note goes a long way

THE BACHELORETTE - "1503" - Eight men get the surprise of their life as husband and wife actors Jason Biggs ("American Pie" movies, "Orange Is the New Black") and Jenny Mollen (TV series "Angel" and "Crash") take them to a birthing class with hilarious results. Which one of Hannah's suitors will endure the experience of simulating childbirth? The Bachelorette gets a real-life health scare and one bachelor comes to her rescue. In return, she rewards him with a private concert by Danish pop and soul band Lukas Graham, performing their hit, "Love Someone." Hannah brings another group of men on a professional photo shoot where they are shocked to find that they are posing with professional models-who are adorable animals. The curious Bachelorette once again employs Demi to share with her what the men do when she is not around, reminiscent of the new Illumination Entertainment film from the creators of "Despicable Me," "The Secret Life of Pets 2." Will the guys pass Demi's test? And later, will one man spin out of control and out of Hannah's life? The men battle to get a rose, whatever it takes, on "The Bachelorette," MONDAY, MAY 27 (8:00-10:01 p.m. EDT), on The ABC Television Network. (ABC/John Fleenor)PETER, HANNAH BROWN

1. Connor S.

Connor S. did everything right this week. His success on The Bachelorette is impossible to ignore.

Connor S. saw his first win when Hannah invited him on a one-on-one date. This is always a good sign on its own but—as Connor himself pointed out—there’s probably a good reason that he got the date this week after having had very little time with Hannah last week: she feels comfortable with their relationship status.

During the date, Connor really made the best out of a bad situation. The Bachelorette was sick and confined to her hospital room. Connor pulled some really cute moves (Flowers? Soup? My heart!) and showed his lady that he can be flexible and creative.

Later, he proved that he can also be vulnerable when he talked about his mother’s stroke. Vulnerability is always a good thing, assuming it isn’t fake the way that Cam’s tragedy-laden story seemed to feel earlier in the same episode. This decision to open up seemed to pay off the same way that it did for Mike when he spoke about his previous miscarriage.

Next. The Bachelorette week 3: Twitter loves a good sticky note. dark

Will Connor’s positive momentum carry into next week? It feels good for him so far. He’s the surprise frontrunner that we didn’t foresee making this good of an impression.
