The Bachelorette episode 4 reaction: Luke said, Luke said
We finally left the mansion in last night’s episode of The Bachelorette, and the crazy definitely followed us across the country.
Our first jaunt outside of the friendly walls of the California hills mansion brought the Bachelorette crew to the chilly east coast for some rugby violence, a smattering of made up American history, and a battle of the Lukes that brought us our first cliffhanger episode without a rose ceremony.
Date #1 went to Wannabe County Singer Jed and started with the pair wandering the streets of Boston while Roll Tide spouted random fake facts about America’s history. Was it charming and cute because she’s awkward and not perfect just like us? Nope, but I’m sure that was the intent and it got old quickly. Hannah, I like you, but this was such a try hard move on your part.
Next our giggly lovebirds visited the Cheers bar (Yes, of TV show fame) and got cheered (get it??) into making out by the crowd of patrons which kept the cheesy awkward train rolling.
The highlight of the Bachelorette date, however, followed when The Beast and Cowboy Jed met up with two Boston Celtics to get some court time AKA too enthusiastically grope each other after they made lay-ups over and over again. Then Hannah asked one of our basketball boys what she should look for in a man, which came across as a mom asking her teenage son for dating advice.
The evening came and Jed started things off with a speech about coming on the show to promote his music, but then he caught feels and decided to be here for the right reasons. TBH I thought this was going to go downhill quickly, but he recovered with his naïve Southern charm. He ended his pitch by asking how Hannah would feel about supporting his passion for something that isn’t her and he solidified his rose.
Our group date was down and dirty with a hot mess of a rugby match that brought out the aggressive side of Love the Lord Luke P. even more, which we weren’t sure was even possible. John Paul Jones was having a great time, How Are You Still Here Kevin dislocated his shoulder and had to ambulance his way out of there, and Buy My Tequila Luke S. was annihilated by Luke P. on the sidelines for supposedly coming at him with a threatening punch that no one witnessed. Thus, the trouble began.
The Bachelorette cocktail party was uncomfortable with everyone speaking their piece about Jesus Luke being a not-so closeted psycho to Hannah, but she kinda blew it off and looked confused especially after learning that the other Luke is supposedly only on TV to promote his non-existent, soon to be released tequila.
Tyler C. received the second one-on-one date which started with Hannah crying for hours on camera and saying she was so distracted she didn’t know if she could have fun on the date. But then our charming hero showed up and literally swept her off her feet into a hug that changed the tone, and they were off into the ocean for some lobster catching.
These two were adorable all day, even through the dance in front of strangers while Luke Owens performs in the background bit, and to no one’s surprise, Tyler received the date rose and will be around for another week of flirting and sweet talking our girl into future engagement bliss. *sigh* I am on Team Tyler one hundred percent.
The rose ceremony cocktail party once again had the Lukes fighting it out with a he said, he said back and forth that made Amen Luke look like a sneaky snake and I Did Nothing Wrong Luke look like a weak little boy.
The Bachelorette did not know what to do with this whole situation, but was momentarily distracted by being absolutely smitten with Peter the Pilot who adorably asked her to be his girlfriend as they were cuddling on the couch. Awww!
Unfortunately, the Lukes went in conversational circles and Miss Alabama had no choice but to play teacher and sit down our bickering babies for a talk it out confrontation to hopefully get to the truth.
This stand-off sadly ended our episode with the first lack of rose ceremony and elimination this season, a trend I always hope does not continue.
And so with more clips of the Luke drama to come, we have to wait until next week to see which Luke, if any, survives this bro battle for the ages, or “The Tale of Two Lukes” as I am now calling it. See you then!
