Learn more- Host Chris congratulates Robert, Jason and Fred on moving up to the big house. He then fills the guys in on what to expect: a group date, a one-on-one date and a two-on-one date. One man will not return from the latter, so all bags must be packed in advance. Chris continues: The guys will have to earn their spot on a one-on-one date by writing and performing an original song for DeAnna.
"I suck at both of these things," Jesse says. Quips Sean: "I would rather be digging my own grave than what I'm about ready to do right now." Brian finds the whole project "exciting." Graham already has three verses written, earning him the nickname "Bon Jovi" from the gang.
The performances begin. Fred's off-key warble seems to charm DeAnna. Graham runs through his song as quickly as possible. Jeremy's rap is cringe worthy, as is Twilley's spoken word effort. Soon, it is Jesse's turn. He gets down on one knee and sings, elliciting an "Awww!" from DeAnna. Finally, Brian performs "House of my pain."
"It's midnight in the house of my pain/ You've stolen my heart, now I got something to gain," sings an uber-serious Brian. The group can barely keep from laughing.
DeAnna, after complimenting Robert and Sean, chooses cute Jesse. The snow boarder will be going on the one-on-one date.
Back from commercial break, Jesse and the dudes discuss his one-on-one when there's a knock at the door. Hanging on the door is a suit and two tickets. Jesse, who had planned on wearing jeans and "those crazy shoes," has to dress the part.
DeAnna emerges from the main house in a stunning blue dress. Jesse, meanwhile, is all nerves in his new suit. The two travel by limo, sipping champagne. They pull up to a theater, where the marquee reads: "Jesse, one night only ... just for you. Love DeAnna."
"This is out. of. control," an awed Jesse comments. The two head inside for dinner by the stage.
Back at house, another date card arrives. Brian, Twilley, Sean, Jeremy, Graham and Jason will be heading out on a group date. The card reads: "Gentlemen, start your engines." The guys high five. That means the two-on-one date will be Robert and Fred. They start packing.
Back at the theater, DeAnna suggests that Jesse take the stage. Jesse reads his poem entitled "DeAnna." An excerpt:
"DeAnna, you make me smile from the inside and laugh on the outside/ DeAnna, you had Tommy Lasorda make fun of me and Ellen nudge me/ DeAnna, I hope we can grow as one while we bask in the sun."
Jesse says his feelings for DeAnna are "as real as real can be." DeAnna confesses that she is not typically attracted to guys like Jesse, but she finds him to be "real." She gives him a rose. Suddenly, the curtain lifts. Natasha Bedingfield emerges, singing for the young not-quite lovers. Jesse feels "swept away."
The next day, the guys board a bus for the group date. They pull up to a stock-car speedway. The dudes once again high five. Says martial arts master Sean: "This is my element."
DeAnna explains that the man with the highest speed wins something "special." Brian goes first. After mastering the clutch, he comes in at 140 miles per hour. Jason floors it next, but reaches only 138. Graham manages 136. Competitive Jeremy gets 129 ... and isnt happy about it. A terrified Twilley reaches 140.5. Finally, Sean proves prophetic, winning with a top speed of 141.
Sean and DeAnna enjoy some one-on-one time. DeAnna reveals that she once lived in Kentucky -- not far from Sean. "You see? I told you! We got this little bluegrass connection," Sean says.
Now it's DeAnna's turn to drive. She peels out and records a 141.6 to best all the guys. "This is my wife," Sean gushes.
Jeremy, aggressive as ever, requests private time with DeAnna. He admits to being upset over failing the driving test. The rest of the guys, meanwhile, discuss Jeremy's aggressive approach. It makes Twilley think of the "parable of the tortoise and the hare." Jeremy, naturally, is the hare. And we all know how that parable ends.
Graham decides to interrupt Jeremy's private time with DeAnna. Graham and DeAnna are very touchy feely. DeAnna invites Graham to kiss her. He responds, "I don't want to be one of a bunch." Awkwardness! DeAnna says she is hurt. "Maybe that's just a little of what I've been feeling," Graham explains. DeAnna is on the verge of tears.
"It happened before that I've ended up with someone who in the end left me crying and brokenhearted," DeAnna says. "I will not take that same chance again."
Back at the house, Robert and Fred find their date box. The card reads: "Who has the recipe for love?" Robert claims that he, in fact, has such a recipe. Fred, on the other hand, believes he has a pretty good recipe himself.
At the track, DeAnna decides its time to hand out the rose. She settles on Sean. "It was the perfect ending to a perfect date," Sean says.
Back from break, the guys at the outhouse decide they'll plan a party for DeAnna. Once she arrives, however, things quickly go had. DeAnna calls the party "awkward." Graham, meanwhile, is bothered once again to see his girl hanging out with the others. "Graham is pretty much avoiding me," DeAnna says. Robert, meanwhile, sits inside. He tries to explain his behavior to DeAnna, but only succeeds in confusing her.
Upset, DeAnna confronts the group. "Right now I should be the happiest person in the world and y'all are breaking my heart," she cries. "If you dont want to hang out, go home!" DeAnna storms back to her house.
Back from break, Robert prepares to redeem himself. Fred, meanwhile, sees Robert's breakdown as a golden opportunity for advancement. DeAnna, trying to put the afternoon behind her, arranges for the trio to have dinner at a mansion in the Hollywood hills.
Robert explains that the most romantic thing he has ever done is take his ex-fiance on a helicopter ride in Vegas. Fred's moment was to surprise his honey with a lake-side getaway. Robert then takes DeAnna inside for some private time. He leans in to kiss her, but she turns her head. "Maybe here," she says, offering her cheek. Ouch. Despite this dodge, Robert knows that there is "a real connection."
Now it's Fred's turn for private time. He explains that the experience has been difficult, but he is fighting for DeAnna. Fred asks her to reserve a "small area" of her heart for him. Afterwards, Fred feels confident that he will get a rose.
Back at the outhouse, the boys gorge on sushi and predict that Fred will be the one coming back that night.
A few words from our sponsors later, DeAnna breaks the bad news to Robert: He's going home.
"I am destroyed," Robert says on his ride home and ... off the show. "Tonight I obviously didn't have the recipe for love."
DeAnna returns to the table with Fred. She says he is a "great guy," but doesn't see "forever" with him. In a shocking turn of events, neither suitor gets the rose. "I can not bring myself to lead you on," says an emotional DeAnna. Fred says his level-headed goodbyes.
DeAnna returns to the house to find Jason -- the only guy left in the main house. Jason comforts DeAnna by the fire near the pool. "Coming home to Jason, he made me feel really good," she says. A lengthy make-out session follows.
It's cocktail party/ elimination time! Jason and DeAnna enter together ... much to the chagrin of Jeremy. DeAnna spends private time with Jeremy, Brian, Twilley ... and then Graham. DeAnna admits (again) to being hurt at the racetrack. Graham says seeing DeAnna hurt caused him "pain." A brief make-out session follows.
The group then heads to the pool for some big-time frolicking. It ends with seven guys and DeAnna in the hot tub. Host Chris breaks up the fun. It's decision time -- but not before another set of commercials.
DeAnna, who has exchanged her bikini for evening wear, emerges. She thanks the men one last time and then reaches for the roses. The following bachelors get a flower: Jason ... Jeremy ... Twilley ... and finally ... Graham.
Football coach Brian is heading for the sidelines. "That's too bad," he says. "Because I think it would have behooved DeAnna to get to know me better."
We are behooved to wait until next week to discover the fate of the final six men.
