Give 'er Bickies: Bachelorette 14 Episode #3 Recap (Spoilers!!!)

Before I begin, have you all been following the controversy with Garrett https://www.glamour.com/story/garrett-yrigoyen-the-bachelorette or even worse, Lincoln https://people.com/tv/bachelorette-lincoln-adim-convicted-indecent-assault-battery/ ? Gross! The Bachelor(ette) needs to reevaluate their vetting process! How are these creeps getting (and staying) on the show?

Moving on, it’s recap time! J

Date #1:

Wills, Jason, David, Jean Blanc and Colton are brought to a spa where they’re asked to pamper Becca and her friends
Conveniently, Tia is one of the invitees. This makes for a few awkward moments (good tv) between her and Colton
Becca forgot Jason’s name. She may have forgotten his name, but I forgot he existed entirely. For future reference, he’s the one that looks like the douche bag from “10 This I Hate About You”, Circa 1999.

Jordan apparently got 4000 likes on the dating App Tinder. David immediately runs to tell Becca -15 Points
He says “I’m not the kind of guy who throws someone under the bus, but…"

Afterwards Becca gives Jordon a high five. Because she doesn’t care how many people he’s met on Tinder. Jordan’s only still there for one reason: because the producers say so. David is an idiot for thinking he’s any sort of competition. Now he just looks like a drama queen.

David and Jordon get into a heated argument 10 Points Each
Becca talks to Colton, who tells her he came on the show for her. After all the agonizing over Tia-gate, that’s apparently all it took to ease Becca’s mind. He’s back in her good graces and she even gives him the group date rose 10 Points
Jordan expected to get the rose, and blamed David for ruining his chances -10 Points

Date #2:

Becca takes Chris to the Capital Records building
Richard Marx is there, and serenades them with a song on the piano 15 Points
They are asked to write a love song for each other
Chris had a hard time, because the last time he wrote an emotional letter was to his estranged father, who did not acknowledge the gesture.
He eventually managed to write a few generic lines, that could have been about anybody, but made Becca swoon

Afterward, during the evening portion of the date, they are treated to a second performance by Richard Marx! 15 Points He must be coming out with a greatest hits album, or some new music or something. Gotta get that promo!!

Back at the Mansion:

There has been some sort of accident!
David is being rushed to the hospital 20 Points
The men are saying things like “I hope he makes it!” “It looks like he’s been attacked by a bear!” "There’s blood everywhere!”
Chris Harrison visits Becca to tell her David is in intensive care
I then made the ill-timed decision to take a swig of water.
He fell out of bed

I don’t mean to make fun of his injury, and I hope he’s ok and all that. But guys, I almost choked to death inhaling my water, cough-laughing

Date # 3:

Clay, Leo, Christon, Ryan, John, Garrett, Mike, Lincoln, Connor and Blake play football
Lincoln was terrible and just got in the way
Clay, the professional NFL player, was great. No surprise there. However, he tried to single-handedly win the game for his team, took it too literally, and injured his wrist.
Clay was sent to the hospital 20 Points
When Clay returns he is given the group date rose 10 Points

Cocktail Party:

Connor was the first to grab Becca saying “Can I steal you away” 5 Points
Clay spoke to Becca about his injury. He said the orthopedic doctor advised he have surgery, but he’s torn because he doesn’t want to leave. Oh the turmoil! How will he ever decide between leaving to heal an injury, maintain his profession, and be able to provide for himself and his family OR stay to compete with 16 other guys for the affection of a woman he met two weeks ago?

Recap:

Colton: 10
