Who gets the first one-on-one date and who get the group date roses in the second episode of season 20?
- Jan 12, 2016
AceShowbiz - Ben Higgins went on his first dates on "The Bachelor" season 20 after meeting the girls in last week's premiere episode. The second episode which aired on Monday, January 11 began with a group date at a school.
Ten women, including Jackie, LB, Lauren H., Becca, Amber, Mandi, JoJo, Jubilee, Jennifer and Lace, competed in a game that tested their smarts and strengths. The winner would get to spend special time with Ben. Mandi was declared the winner and Jennifer was jealous of Mandi's "super romantic" time with Ben as they left on the back of a car.
Later in the night, Lace who's determined to "redeem" herself after her previous weird behavior stole Ben away from Mandi. She was upset when Jubilee interrupted before she could get to kiss Ben. Jubilee and Jennifer got to kiss Ben, but it's JoJo who got the group date rose.
Caila was the lucky girl who was chosen for the first one-on-one date of the season. "Ride Along 2" stars Kevin Hart and Ice Cube unexpectedly showed up and took Ben and Caila on "an inexpensive ride along." They urged Ben to make a few stops: the flower shop, the liquor store and a hot tub store, where Ice tried to get Ben to buy condoms.
The night ended with a private concert with Amos Lee and a romantic dinner. Ben said Caila had depth and that earned her a rose.
Next was a group date with Emily, Shushanna, Sam, Olivia, Haley and Amanda. They headed to the Love Lab where "scientists" would determine how compatible they were with Ben. After several tests, including retinal tracking and seeing their thermal energies when they got physically close, it was revealed that Sam had the lowest amount of chemistry with Ben, while Olivia scored the highest.
Later, Ben took Olivia to his room and they kissed. Returning to the other women, Ben got to spend some time with Amanda who told him about her daughters. Although they also kissed, Olivia eventually got the group date rose. "I don't know what rose ceremonies are really," she boasted.
At a cocktail party before the rose ceremony, Olivia stole Ben away though she had secured her place. Lace had another awkward conversation with Ben when she tried to explain her "bold personality." Meanwhile, Ben tried to reassure Lauren B. and Amanda that he's interested in them.
At the rose ceremony, as Ben began to hand out the roses, LB pulled him away to tell him that she was uncomfortable with the show's process, so she decided to quit. Ben returned to the girls and announced LB's exit and gave her rose to another girl. At the end of the episode, Sam and Jackie were sent home.
