Tonight’s episode of The Bachelor Live kicks off with Chris Harrison. He introduces his co-hosts for the night, Lacy Chabert, Lee Brice, Michelle Collins, and Ralph Garmin. Lacy can’t wait to dish on tonight’s episode – she is glad that Emily finally stepped up and tipped Ben off about Olivia. Lee agrees that he respects Emily for doing that. Michelle is a little upset that there was no rose ceremony and it was “To Be Continued.” The “Teen Mom” comment is a hot topic tonight. Lee is a huge fan of Amanda – and he thinks that Olivia’s comment was extremely offensive.
The first poll of tonight on Bachelor Live is “Should Ben take the rose back from Olivia?” Lacy argues that Ben should follow his heart – he shouldn’t take it back, but he definitely should keep his eyes open from now on when it comes to Olivia. The fans voted online and 96% of Bachelor Nation says that Ben should definitely take back the rose. Lee laughs that Ben is “way too nice of a guy” to take back the rose.
Since the Iowa Caucaus is in full swing right now – Chris Harrison takes a Skype call from Chris Soules (who is an Iowa native). He jokes that he polled which woman should get the final rose at the Caucous, Chris thinks that Leah should get the rose because he personally thinks that she is “totally hot.”
Ben Higgins arrives to discuss the shocking news he heard about Olivia on tonight’s episode. He insists that he was totally blindsighted, and he had no idea that Olivia was basically two completely different people. Chris takes a Skype call from sports broadcaster Jaymee Sire – who has a very important question for ben. She asks him if Olivia’s breath is as bad as all of the other girls keep saying. Ben laughs and refuses to answer – he tells Chris that it is time to go to commercial break.
After the break it is time to discuss Jubilee’s exit – Chris Harrison shares a video montage of Jubilee’s scenes on The Bachelor. Michelle jumps to Jubilee’s defense, she knew that Jubilee was awkward because no sane woman would be cool with watching her boyfriend date other women. Ralph Garmin laughs that Jubilee must not have seen the show before – because that is the entire premise of it. Before they switch topics Lee Brice sins a country song that he wrote in honor of jubilee.
Now it’s time for “This Week In Bachelor History.” During Week 5 of Chris Soules’ season of The Bachelor Kelsey had her infamous “panic attack.” Then, when Chris arrived – she suddenly recovered. In Ben F.’s Week 5, he and Courtney went skinny-dipping in the ocean late at night and got a little frisky. Courtney calls in and teases that if they want to know if she and Ben had sex that night – they will have to go pick up her new book. Awkward time – the guest hosts read tweets that Bachelor fans wrote about Ben, similiar to “Mean Tweets” except they are all about how hot Ben is and his amazing butt.
Since tonight is the Iowa Caucases – Chris Harrison thinks that they should have a political theme and gives each of the hosts a chance to campaign for the winner. Lacy announces that Becca has her vote because Ben and Becca are on the show for the “right reasons.” Lee Brice says that Amanda has his vote because she reminds him of his wife, and she is a “stable woman” and has kids at home. Michelle gives Olivia her vote because she is so crazy” and she can “Keep Ben on his toes.” Also, Olivia clearly loves Ben. Ralph is endorsing Jojo – because in Ben’s darkest house, Jojo comforted him – and she “has a delicious taco.”
Tonight’s episode of Bachelor Live ends with a sneak peek of Ben’s dramatic hometown date with his own family. In the clip, Ben drops a bombshell to his parents and confesses that he told two of the girls that he loves them and now he doesn’t know who to send home. Ben gets a lot of backlash from the hosts – the Bachelors aren’t supposed to tell any of the girls they love them until after the final rose ceremony! Ben openly admits that he definitely fell in love with two different women on the show. Can’t help but wonder how his fiancé feels about him announcing on live television that he loved another woman besides her.
Lee Brice shares a brand new song that he has been working on called “Best Ex Ever” as the show goes off the air.
THE END!
