The Bachelor recap: Contenders, pretenders and power rankings after Ep. 7

I hope you’re Hungary for some drama, because the Bachelor crew has moved to Budapest.

Kaity was the first to get a second one-on-one, and they went sight-seeing in Budapest before writing each other poetry on a random typewriter atop a hill. At the dinner portion of the date, Kaity told Zach about all the men that have left her in her life and received a rose.

The group date visited a mentalist, meaning they all were either very weirded out by him reading their minds or broke down crying (or both). Crying and emotional outpourings continued into the evening, with Gabi getting the group date rose.

The second one-on-one had Zach take Brooklyn to the outdoor heated baths, making it back-to-back weeks with the Bachelor taking a woman into a spa-related bathing area. Despite them seemingly having a good time, Zach sent her home.

Next week, Zach is hitting up hometowns with the four remaining women.

Let’s get into the contenders, pretenders, those that have work to do and our Top Five.

Contenders

Kaity – First one to get a second one-on-one? Yeah, Kaity is cruising into hometown dates feeling solid.

Gabi – A group date rose is always a big deal. A group date rose that says Zach is going to come meet your family? Yeah, that’s a huge deal.

Ariel – It’s just super obvious he’s super into Ariel.

Work Left to Do

Charity – She got the last rose of the night, meaning he’s heading home to meet the parents. Not sure if the confidence is high with that last rose, but a win is a win!

Pretenders

Greer – Congrats, you tested negative for COVID! Your prize? Getting immediately sent home by Zach. Have a great flight.

Brooklyn – It’s a surefire clue that someone isn’t coming back from the one-on-one when the ladies back in the house/hotel feel confident that she’s absolutely coming back. Zach said he couldn’t be the one to love her like she deserves.

Power Rankings

4. Charity

3. Ariel
