I really like that you have all these different sides to you.
I do have walls up, but those walls could not be up.
But also, Im fun.
Are you someone that loves fun?
Im looking for someone that could be the mother of my children.
Some of my sides are soft.
But I also like to have fun.
Yeah, fun is something thats fun.
Repeat for two hours.
And I dont know what it will take to gain their trust back.
The next woman they pick up boom!
thats the woman they marry.
Hes ready to settle down, for whatever reason, and he will do it now.
It doesnt help that he cant quite describe exactly what hes looking for.
A wife, yes; what kind of wife?
The fact that he never considered that some relationships could be equal partnerships without the man providing everything.
This is someone who has done ZERO thinking about what a successful marriage and parenthood look like.
Lets get into it.
The women are sitting around after the Prom From Hell and reflecting on all the drama.
Hes in Madrid, and their flight leaves in an hour!
Juliana says shes never been on a trip with a boyfriend before.
Well, her boyfriend and his nine other girlfriends.
Con quien, Grant?
He sits down with Jesse, and they talk about how this week is when things get real.
Juliana says, See our boyfriend!
a little too loudly.
Shes really trying to get that shit over.
Grant arrives and says that Dina gets the Walk Around the City One-on-One Date!
They do too many activities on this date.
Dina keeps saying that she wants to show Grant that softer side and all her different layers.
Im a stone-cold bitch, and hes gonna love it.
They write down wishes and put them on a shop wall.
Grant says, I desire to find the love of my life and the mother of my children.
Dinas eye twitches, and she says, Wow!
We have the exact same wish!
Shes basically like, You have no idea what youre doing, and I could fix all of this.
This BLOWS GRANTS MIND!
He says hes never been in a relationship with that dynamic.
This is where Id be asking 4,000 follow-up questions.
Chief among them: Huh?
He also says that theres more to Dina than a five-year plan.
Has he ever met a woman with a job?
I think she was asking for commitment.
His light wasnt on.
I guess this couple makes sense?
She gets the rose.
But I need WAY more specifics about his relationship.
Just putting that out there.
She keeps saying, I cant complain.
I shouldnt complain, and then keeps complaining.
She also says she doesnt like group dates because she has to watch everyones intimate moments with Grant.
Like when you straddled him in front of Mario?
I am SHOCKED that Juliana didnt get either of the one-on-one dates this week.
What is Grant waiting for?
He clearly really likes her!
For the group date, they ride donkeys through the streets of another Spanish town.
They wind up at a bullfighting ring with one of the few matadoras, Carmen.
Litia sneaks the tiniest, most chaste little smooch, and that sends Carolina into a spiral.
After a little training session, they bring out the real competition: a mechanical bull!
A few random locals gather to sort through their email spam folders and watch.
Whoever stays on the longest gets a prize.
This is not International Rodeo Association compliant.
Zoe sees that this technique works and copies Alexe.
What happened to a wooden hot tub set up in a field?
Or canceling the cocktail party for everyone else?
At this point, its better to lose the group-date mini-challenge and get the group-date rose instead.
Rose sits down with Grant first, and they clumsily work their way through their setbacks.
He tells her that he sees potential between them, and they want to keep progressing forward.
Zoe finally reveals some of her backstory with Grant.
She was adopted with her sister and raised in a very white area.
Grant says he loves that Zoe opened up to him.
That seems to be why hes so quick to act when it comes to Carolina.
And speaking of Carolina, lets get to all this bullshit.
You are a FRONT-RUNNER.
RELAX!!!!!!!
Juliana has had enough and takes Carolina aside to make a terrible gameplay decision.
Carolina scrambles and says that shes actually very into Grant (which she definitely is).
Juliana says this is all very unsettling and goes back inside.
Carolina opens it up to ask about her intentions, and Rose says its just a lot of negativity.
Carolina says, Fine!
I just wont share unprompted.
Zoe says when Carolina has gotten a one-on-one, its just a bit much.
Then Carolina starts crying about how she does really like Grant.
This is when Grant comes into the room to pick up the group-date rose.
Grant takes Carolina aside and asks her whats going on.
No one is getting the group-date rose tonight.
Its time for Sarafienas one-on-one date, and theyre going to jump off a bridge.
This is some real white-people nonsense.
There wasnt anywhere they could do a wine tasting?
Im scared … but not when Im with you.
I will say Sarafiena does have an annoying habit of calling everything insane or psychotic.
They head to dinner.
Is there chemistry here?
She reveals that her mom is watching, and she doesnt want to embarrass herself.
Thats a really charming moment.
She gets the rose because he can see someone who would make a good wife.
I need someone on this show to talk about their hobbies or something!
He says he could be falling in love with her!
Its time for the cocktail party, and the mood is tense!
Grant takes Juliana aside and asks her about the drama with Carolina.
This upsets Grant because Carolina is the front-runner!
He sits down with Carolina and shes able to spin it as I have doubts BECAUSE Im so serious.
Because I like you so much.
Rose takes the opportunity to tell Carolina about how her relationship was set back because of all her stories.
She says, You did medirrrrrty, and immediately decides to go home.
Rose, I admire you.
Youre not having fun for a couple of days.
Time to go home.
Everyone starts doing the math on exactly how many rose ceremonies and group dates Carolina has ruined.
Time for the rose ceremony!
Litia, Juliana, Alexe, Zoe, and Carolina all get roses!
And Carolina just cant help herself!
See you next week!
!
