Bachelor Recap: Pop the Champagne, it's Paris time!

​Welcome to Paris, Bachelor Nation!

​*Spoiler Alert*
Arie, and the contestants vying for his love, have jet set to Paris for a week full of twists and turns. The women were excited to explore the possibilities with Arie in the most romantic city on Earth. We saw the women get on board a boat and Chris Harrison let the women know that there would be four dates: 2 one-on-ones, a group date, and a two-on-one date.

On the first one-on-one, we watched Lauren and Arie board a small boat and set off on a romantic date. During this date, we watched Lauren struggle to open up, but toward the end of the night, we finally saw her open up to Arie. She received a rose and they sealed their romantic day with a kiss.

The next day, we watched Arie take 6 women on a fun-filled adventure at Moulin Rouge. The contestants strutted their stuff and shimmied their way into Arie's heart. Only one woman caught his eye and won his heart: Bekah M. Bekah not only won the rose, but she joined Arie on the Moulin Rouge stage. The rest of the women looked on, unenthusiastically.

Next, we have the 2-on-1 with Kendall and Krystal. The date consisted of trying to find Arie in a maze, which Krystal succeeded in. The two shared a kiss while Kendall continued to find Arie. Later on, Krystal and Arie had an intense conversation, which consisted of her questioning why Kendall was on this date with her. Krystal mentioned that Kendall has never been in love and her longest relationship was 10 months. Arie then spoke to Kendall and Kendall cleared the air.
At the end of the date, Arie gave the rose to Kendall, sending a salty Krystal home. Meanwhile, back at the boat, the rest of the contestants eagerly watched as concierge rolled Krystal's suitcase out of the room. The women celebrated by popping a champagne bottle.

The second 1-on-1 date was with Jacqueline. We watched Jacqueline and Arie have a pretty heavy conversation over dinner. Jacqueline confided that her life for the next 6 years was going to be hectic. Arie reiterated that both of them need to follow their hearts. He offered the rose to Jacqueline and she accepted.

At the end of the episode, we said goodbye to Chelsea (*sad face*) and Jenna. Arie then told the remaining contestants that they will be jet setting to beautiful Tuscany, Italy.
Before the camera cut out, we watched Lauren unravel.

Coming up next week, Arie and the girls visit Tuscany, where the women set their focus toward the upcoming hometowns visits.

It's getting real, Bachelor Nation! A show of hands, who else is super excited that Krystal is gone? If I wasn't currently pregnant, I'd be popping bottles right now too! LOL!
