Never in Bachelor history has an overnight date went wrong – until last night, that is.
In part two of the two-night Bachelor special, Juan Pablo takes his three remaining ladies to the beautiful island of St. Lucia. Clare is the first woman to go on a date where the couple spent most of the day on a private yacht. Juan Pablo and Clare spent their time talking about her sister, Laura, who created major drama during the hometown date. However, Juan Pablo reassures Clare that he enjoyed the time he spent with her family. Despite Laura’s skepticism, we hear Clare say her mom understands how she could fall in love so fast.
Throughout the day, Clare often brings up the decision she has to make later that night about whether to say yes to the fantasy suite. She wants to accept Juan Pablo’s overnight offer but is afraid she will be sending the wrong message to Camila. This concern is a result of the “mistake” that occurred after she swam in the ocean with Juan Pablo back in Vietnam.
Clare eventually expressed her worries to Juan Pablo when she was given the fantasy suite key. Juan Pablo assured her that this would give them the chance to get to know each other without the cameras, a chance for them to be themselves. This answer seemed to give Clare peace of mind and she accepted the overnight offer.
While in the fantasy suite, Clare mustered up the courage to tell Juan Pablo exactly how she felt.
“Honestly, like, I’m just loving like falling in love with you,” she said. Juan Pablo responded by stroking her cheek and giving her besitos.
Andi’s one-on-one date started off great and we even find her telling the cameras she is “so close to finding that love with him.” The couple spent the day exploring a nearby village, playing the drums, eating and even starting a pick-up soccer game with some local boys.
Andi was really impressed with how Juan Pablo interacted with the children, and for the first time could see how great of a father he is and will be.
Later in the day, Juan Pablo drove Andi in a land buggy to the Latille Falls where they had a small picnic and swam. Juan Pablo told Andi about the conversation he had with her dad, and he didn’t seem bothered at all that her father told him he wouldn’t give his blessing until Andi was the only girl for Juan Pablo.
That night, Andi and Juan Pablo asked a serious question to see if Andi could be the one. He told her he wasn’t sure if she will be a good mom but he did tell her that she could fit in his life.
Andi told Juan Pablo the truth – she wasn’t completely in love with him but only because she wanted to make sure she was making the right choices for herself and for Juan Pablo. She told him she took motherhood seriously, and she would rather overthink it than under-think the situation.
Before the show went to commercial, we see Andi in the fantasy suite with Juan Pablo and both of them seem happy to be together.
However, this go terrible wrong the next morning when Juan Pablo tells the cameras, “I think Andi could be the one.”
Andi’s response? “I couldn’t wait to get out of the fantasy suite.”
The 26-year-old said she knew he wasn’t the one when Juan Pablo couldn’t stop talking about himself. She would try to tell him stories about her life and her values, but he would smile, give her kisses and then jump into a story about himself. She said he name-dropped and had no problem telling her that he already had an overnight with Clare.
“It’s extememly important for me to find a guy that loves me more than he loves himself,” she said. Ouch.
Andi leaves the overnight date in the morning without telling Juan Pablo how she feels but we know she finds the words later in the episode.
Juan Pablo feels good going into the final date with Nikki as they go horseback riding on the beach. There, they have a picnic and talk about Nikki’s family. She worries about finding the courage to tell him that she’s in love with him because she knows she would regret not telling him even if she goes home.
Back in the fantasy suite, Nikki finds the courage to tell Juan Pablo how she feels, ending with “Did you know that?”
Juan Pablo responds with a thank you and telling her he did not know that.
The next morning, Juan Pablo joined Chris Harrison to talk about the decision looming in the next few days – which two girls Juan Pablo is going to pick to meet his family. Juan Pablo told Harrison he was not sure because all the girls were great. After Chris Harrison left, Juan Pablo watched the videos the remaining girls left for him expressing how much they liked him.
However, when the show got to Andi’s video, she told Juan Pablo she would rather tell him in person exactly how she felt. It sounds like a red flag for the relationship, but, of course, Juan Pablo remained oblivious and agreed to meet up with her.
The final portion of the show was the conversation Andi had with the bachelor. Andi wasted no time and told him exactly what she thought.
“There was no doubt in my mind, that we were over,” the assistant district attorney told Juan Pablo of her thoughts the morning she woke up in the fantasy suite.
Juan Pablo seemed unfazed by her confession and only responded with “That’s fine. It’s okay.”
The response made Andi angry because she was looking for an answer with more feeling. She kept telling him it’s not okay and his answer was not appropriate.
The argument was one sided as Juan Pablo refused to take the bait. He shot her down by saying he was being honest with her by bringing up Clare’s overnight date.
“There’s a difference between telling the truth and being an asshole,” she responded.
After the ex-couple fought about Juan Pablo’s use of the word “default” when it came to Andi making it as far as she did, Andi gave up and went home.
In the car ride she told the cameras that she knew she didn’t love him when he did not know her religious or political views or how many kids she wanted. She also said the relationship did not fail because of the language difference.
“[It] makes me question if I’ll ever find love,” she said with tears running down her face.
In the final 10 minutes of the show, Chris Harrison told Nikki and Clare that Andi had decided to leave. After, Juan Pablo came in giving the reason of the abrupt departure was because she was not in love with him. He then told the remaining two girls that they were not obligated to accept the rose. Of course, Clare and Nikki accepted their roses, confirming them as the final two women in the season finale of The Bachelor.
The Bachelor returns with 'The Women Tell All' next Monday, March 3 at 8/7c.
