If you were looking for some good ol’ fashion drama well Bachelor Episode 3 delivered! A heartwarming one on one, Captain Colton on a pirate ship, the strongest woman emerges..and of course a Pool Party!! Lots of steamy lip locking moments in this episode but they were completely overshadowed by one feud in particular: Miss Alabama vs. Miss North Carolina…oh yes, this feud is legit and also very annoying. But before we get to the dueling queens let me recap the sweetest part of the episode: The one on one.

One of my frontrunners, “Elyse the Make-up Artist” received this week’s one on one and it was no surprise since she emerged last week as the girl to watch out for…in terms of stealing Colton’s heart. This one on one was particularly special because it showcased one of the best things about Colton: his charity, The Colton Underwood Legacy Foundation which supports people living with Cystic Fibrosis. Elyse and Colton had the entire carnival to themselves…well almost to themselves as they spent the day with a group of children in connection with Colton’s charity and entertained the bunch with treats, rides, games and lots of animal prizes!

If you weren’t a fan of Colton before you will be after watching this episode. Even I admit when I first found out that Colton was The Bachelor, I wasn’t thrilled, I thought he was the wrong choice and didn’t think he was grown up enough or experienced enough to be the Bachelor. All of that changed as I saw him connect with these amazing kids…you saw a man who knew exactly who he was and a man with compassion and love for helping others and there is nothing better than that. And the icing on the cake was that Elyse was just as compassionate and loving too! She is the real deal and also has a charity that she is a part of too in honor of her sister who passed away shortly after giving birth. What a tragic story and you could see the world of pain that it must have caused her.

Colton and Elyse definitely bonded in a special way on this date, so the other girls have some major catching up to do if they want to get on her level. “Hannah B. Miss Alabama” thought the way to getting there was to trash talk on “Caelynn Miss North Carolina” to Colton and it had the opposite effect…she dropped a few levels on the love chart. This feud between these two pageant queens continued on the first group date…set on a pirate ship …where the girls compete to see who is the ‘Best Pirate’.

Being “The best pirate” was actually who could fight with foam sticks on a log, the best….the Bachelor producers are really running out of ideas I think…in the past these dates would consist of battles of sumo wrestling, kick boxing, pro wrestling…I mean dueling on a log with foam sticks is really reaching. It was super boring so of course the main entertainment was the jealousy and tension between Miss Alabama and Miss North Carolina. Colton definitely has feelings for Caelynn, and it is driving Hannah B. completely nuts…literally she has gone to crazy, jealousy town.

She spent her one on one time with Colton to tell him about her fall out with Caelynn and how she is hostile and fake. Colton seemed very annoyed with this…I’m sure he is wishing he would have sent Hannah B. home on their one on one date. Hannah B. completely sabotaged herself…. she won’t last long. Caelynn on the other hand ended up getting the group date rose so that tells me Colton has picked his queen….and it’s not Miss Alabama.

The other feud between “Tracy the Stylist” and “Demi the Interior Designer” who were also on the pirate group date were throwing jabs back and forth to each other. The events were pretty much a repeat of the last two episodes. Demi was being over aggressive with Colton and it made Tracy and some of the other girls upset… yada yada yada…I’m over the girls getting upset over this…its old. I was in Demi’s corner on this group date…if the other girls are upset because they didn’t get enough time it’s their own fault. Get over it girls!!

The second group date was actually pretty drama free! Everybody seemed to get along surprisingly. The date was set at a gym and the girls competed for the title of “The Strongest Woman”. The date was hosted by Terry Crews and his wife, Rebecca King-Crews…I love these too! They are so inspiring and give incredible advice when it comes to relationships. “Onyeka the IT Risk Consultant” blew the other girls away in this competition and was crowned Bachelors “Strongest Woman”. I see more of a friend connection between her and Colton as opposed to a love connection hence why she didn’t get the group rose date even though she won the challenge. Although he had more of a connection with her than “Caitlin the Realtor” who was sent home on this group date because Colton just didn’t have any feelings for her at all.

She seemed totally normal and classy, so I was a little shocked that they didn’t have any connection especially when girls like Tracy and Demi are still on the show…oh wait…I forgot for a second that I’m watching The Bachelor…without the crazy villains…there is no show.

There were however other connections that grew stronger on this group date and one major spark was with ‘Tayshia the Phlebotomist” …She also gets my ‘best glasses’ award! Love her specs!

“Cassie the Speech Pathologist” had a steamy moment too with Colton …what a kiss! It looks like love! She hasn’t had a lot of screen time and now I’m wondering if it is because she is secretly Colton’s favorite and the producers are trying to hide it. I thought she would nab the group date rose but instead it went to “Nicole the Social Media Coordinator”. She is very sweet but definitely not in the running for final rose. I felt like Colton was trying to be nice but really will just give her false hope.

Now on to the finale of the episode…the Pool Party. Colton decided to cancel the cocktail party and have some fun in the sun and lighten the mood! Guess what…that didn’t happen thanks to the pageant queens who brought the storm to the pool. Caelynn was the one that started it this time around and pulled Colton aside to explain the drama between her and Hannah B. She told him Hannah B. was jealous because she was 1st runner up in the pageant and that’s why they had a falling out…Colton again was super annoyed (me too buddy). The best move for Caelynn should have been to not say anything and wait for Colton to bring it up to her. But that didn’t happen and actually Colton fueled the fire even more by telling Hannah B. everything Caelynn said. It quickly became ‘The Bachelor goes to 7th grade’…”She said you said,” and “She said you’re fake” “But she is fake”…oh boy…this is a total train wreck. Colton is to blame too for spending the whole pool party dwelling on this silly pageant drama. And the crazy part is that we still really don’t know specific events that occurred between these too…I’m sure it will come full surface when they have a Two on One date with Colton…oh you know it is coming!! I can’t wait!

Rounding out Episode 3 was the rose ceremony where “Bri the Model” , “Catherine the DJ” and “Nina the Sales Account Manager” all went home…I never saw any real connections with these gals so no surprise at all and since none of these girls were any drama the producers gave Colton the ok to let them go;). Now the fun continues when Colton and the girls go to Singapore next week! I want to go Singapore! But right now, the only singing I’ll be doing is to my 2 and 4-year-old to get them back to sleep:).
