Episode 4: (airing Jan. 28th) Singapore (15 to 13)
1-on-1: – Tayshia Adams. I believe they went bungee jumping. Tayshia got a rose.
Group Date: 13 of them walked around downtown as they were pictured here that day:
Back on October 5th, I tweeted a group date pic from Singapore that had Caelynn mislabeled and some women left off. Here is a pic from a different angle and labels everyone who was there. So yes, Caelynn and Tayshia had the 1-on-1s in Singapore pic.twitter.com/NmIbRCPAQ9

Ever since Chris Harrison started promoting Colton’s season, this is the date he won’t shut up about. To give a little background, this is what he told three different outlets in three different interviews:
“We are going to deal with why he is the way he is, why he’s chosen to be who he is…”
Mario: “Is it spiritually?”
“It goes deeper than that. It had to do with prior relationships & situations within that and, I’ll let him explain but it gets really emotional, it gets really deep, & I think it’s gonna change everyone’s opinion of him dramatically.”

“Her and Colton have honestly one of the most emotional conversations we’ve ever had on the show, and that’s not hyperbole, Caelynn goes deep into her life, which kinda opens up some things for Colton…”
“She brings out a story, a personal story, that is one of the most emotional, revealing conversations we have ever had on the show. We were all very much taken aback. So was Colton, and that kind of prompts things in Colton’s life.”
“I often joke, ‘Oh, it is the most dramatic thing ever.’ And I don’t want to do that, because it does a disservice to what this conversation is about. Kudos to both of them for her speaking about it and Colton receiving it the right way and then having the conversation that he did. It was very memorable, and something that is going to change the course of the entire show.”
“The conversation between Colton and Caelynn is unbelievably vulnerable, open and revealing. Caelynn kind of started it with something she let go, and I think Colton felt comfortable and I think he felt like he owed her certain things in that space because she had just revealed so much personally. It really is a depth and emotion that we have never really faced before.”
So yeah, you hear a lot of things. I heard things after this date, I heard things while filming was still going on, and I’ve heard things post filming. Lets let this date play out and see what Chris is actually talking about and maybe I can fill you in then. It’s complicated. He’s sure hyping this up. We all know what Caelynn’s story is. If you don’t, she was a rape victim on her college campus. That was the platform she ran on for Miss USA. We’ll see exactly what Colton’s reaction is to this that Chris can’t stop talking about.
Rose Ceremony Eliminations: Courtney Curtis and Tracy Shapoff,
Episode 5: (airing Feb 4th) Khao Lak, Thailand (13 to 10)
1-on-1: Cassie Randolph. Not sure what they did but she got a rose.
Group Date: Another group date where I’m not sure what they did, but it was 11 of them: Onyeka, Nicole, Elyse, Caelynn, Tayshia, Hanna G., Hannah B., Katie, Demi, Sydney, and Kirpa. Hannah B. got the group date rose.
1-on-1: Heather Martin. Not sure what they did but Heather got the rose. Also, I’m assuming this is where Heather kissed her first boy.
Elyse eliminated herself at some point during this episode (I believe after the group date was over) because she just wasn’t feeling it with Colton.
Rose Ceremony Eliminations: Onyeka Ehie and Nicole Lopez-Alvar. Elyse Dehlbom eliminated herself earlier in the episode.
Episode 6: (airing Feb 11th) Nha Trang, Vietnam (10 to 7) Originally said it was going to be in Macau, China. I heard that was all set, but for whatever reason, something happened and they had to change to Vietnam.
1-on-1: Hannah G. Not sure what they did but Hannah got the rose.
Group Date: Tayshia, Hannah B., Katie, Demi, Sydney, Cassie, Caelynn, and Heather. Something to do with going into a jungle. Not sure who got the group date rose.
1-on-1: Kirpa Sudick. Not sure what they did but Kirpa got the rose.
At some point in the episode, Demi went to his room to talk and Colton eliminated her because his feelings weren’t the same for her as hers were for him. Didn’t want to put her through a rose ceremony when he knew she wasn’t the one, so he sent her home. Sydney eliminated herself at some point during this episode at because she wasn’t feeling it with Colton and he wasn’t opening up to her.
Also in Vietnam, Katie tells him that Caelynn and Cassie were talking about being the “Bachelorette,” they weren’t genuine, and they weren’t here for him and he wasn’t happy. But he sends Katie home at the rose ceremony. Not sure if she told him this after she was eliminated and he was walking her out, or if it was at the cocktail party beforehand. I’m also not sure the extent of Cassie and Caelynn speaking about the “Bachelorette” gig. However it was big enough to where others were bothered by it and either brought it up to Colton as well or were going to. Katie definitely did.
Rose Ceremony Eliminations: Katie Morton. Colton sent Demi Burnett home earlier in the episode and Sydney Lotuaco eliminated herself earlier in the episode as well.
Episode 7: (airing Feb 18th) Denver, CO (7 to 4)
1-on-1: Tayshia Adams. Walked around Union Station with Colton’s dog Sniper, had drinks, and got some ice cream. Tayshia got a rose and was guaranteed a hometown.
(SPOILER): Colton’s 1-on-1 date today in Denver was with someone I hadn’t released to you yet, Tayshia Adams. They were walking around Union Station with his dog Sniper and got ice cream. This pic is at Milk Market. Tayshia is 28 and lives in Orange County, CA. pic.twitter.com/sLuUlGHVPr

1-on-1: Caelynn Miller-Keyes. Not sure what they did but Caelynn got a rose and was guaranteed a hometown.
1-on-1: Hannah Brown. Colton sent her home on this date.
Group Date: 4-on-1 group date. Cassie Randolph, Hannah Godwin, Kirpa Sudick, and Heather Martin. Heather eliminated herself on the date because she said she wasn’t ready for him to meet her family. Hannah G. got the group date rose.
So either there was a rose ceremony elimination and since only two people left (Cassie and Kirpa) wouldn’t have had a rose, there either was a rose ceremony and Cassie got the rose over Kirpa. Or, he also gave Cassie a rose on this group date, thus eliminating Kirpa and your final 4 was then set.
Rose Ceremony Eliminations: Kirpa Sudick. Heather Martin and Hannah Brown eliminated during the episode.
