2020 Bachelor - Week 6

If you’re looking for the week 5 recap, I must report that there is, in fact, a limit to the amount of The Bachelor I can handle in one week… and that limit is 5 hours in one week. I didn’t have it in me to write a recap last week, but I’m thrilled to report my stamina has recovered and I’m ready to jump into Week 6.

The last week before hometowns finds the cast in Lima, Peru. Honestly, what’s it gonna take to get these girls across the prime meridian? South America AGAIN? Did Chris Harrison blow through all of ABC’s Delta Sky Miles?

Madison gets the first 1:1 of the night, and it’s no surprise that the dates goes off without a hitch. They have a lot of chemistry. The only minor hiccup is during the dinner portion where Madison shares that her faith is extremely important to her. Peter looks like he’s about to $Hit himself as he tries to admit that he hasn’t picked up a Bible since he used it for rolling paper in high school. Alright – it wasn’t that bad – Peter stumbled through it ok. He admits to Madison that he’s falling in love with her and Madison is giddy.

Next, Natasha gets a 1:1, and if you’re asking yourself “who???”, don’t worry, I am too. This is Natasha’s first 1:1 of the season, and she’s way too mature for this entire show. During dinner, Peter tells Natasha that he “can’t give her the rose” because it’s super weird to meet your girlfriend’s parents a week after your first date.

Kelsey gets the last 1:1 of the week. Kelsey makes the date look good, but I’d almost rather be on a 3:1. They ride these ATVs that look like the engine is held together with duct tape and a prayer. They drive the ATVs to the base of a mountain, and then Peter insists on running to the top of the mountain. I about pass out just watching them. Her cardio earns her the rose.

The final date of the evening is a 3:1 with Hannah Ann, Kelley, and Victoria F. The odds are pretty good with 2 roses up for grabs and Victoria flying off the rails. During their time together, she is extremely disagreeable and then yells(?!?!) at Peter for “being in a mood every time they talk”. Can you honestly blame the guy with the maturity level of a 12 year old for being confused about his moody 6 girlfriends?

Next there’s Kelley, the lawyer who is obviously only on the show to get a few more stamps on her passport. She’s extremely arrogant and I still haven’t forgiven her for cheating during the obstacle course during week 1. She goes into the date very confident, wearing an outfit that needs a lot of confidence to pull off. Not sure this needs to be said, but tight white pants with a tight white top is not cute on anyone.

Lastly there’s Hannah Ann, who aside from being 23 years old and being “completely ready to be married”, I don’t hate her. Sure she’s probably got a brain tumor because she seems to be actually attracted to Peter, but that’s definitely not hurting her.

Despite Victoria’s meltdown, she somehow gets a rose, leaving baby Hannah Ann and Kelley. Hannah gets the rose and instantly starts crying, meanwhile Kelley walks off the show dry eyed and with her pride intact. It’s almost like she doesn’t even know she lost. I do think the punishment is fair though because those pants truly were tragic.

Next week it’s hometowns! Let’s go!
