A tip to whoever wins this thing: Ben needs to live in a cold-weather city.
He belongs in sweaters and literally nothing else.
(Take that however you choose.)

Also, Ben is high.
Meeting up with Caila, Bens ready to take their deep like his roots!
If a day together is weird, what would an eternity together be like?
(Who knew Ben was so confident?)
As for Caila, she knows that their relationship needs to be OPEN again.
We get it guys.
Enjoy all the sex.
Her comment: Its funny that you noticed that I was weird today.
And this time, she sort of opens her mouth!
(Do you all do a lot of partner breathing exercises?)
Of course, Ben cant say anything back, but thats okay.
Again, why the breath?
Of anything, I feel like air is one of the most difficult things to interpret.
After Cailas confession of love, Ben breathes a sigh of relief but what does his breath say?!
because hes decided she was awkward during their date because she wanted to tell him how she feels.
So yeah, Ben entirely missed the point of that conversation.
She was awkward because she loves you BUT THERES TWO OTHER WOMEN INVOLVED.
That last part is kind of crucial.
Maybe Ben should swap those breathing exercises for listening exercises, amirite?
Well, after they go for a swim.
I cant say Ive ever seen a fireworkinmy own heart, but hey, a girl can dream.
In other words, sex is THAT important to him.
If shes anything less than an A- in the sack, odds are shes not the woman for him.
The next morning, we check in on the couple.
As she puts it, Ben didnt have to say any words.
It was just something I felt.
Who wants to tell her that what she felt wasnt his love?
NEXT: Baby turtles, love, and chafing!
The first sign these two are meant to be?
When Lauren doesnt dump him upon first seeing those God-awful swim trunks.
So if you thought those pigs were cute, prepare yourself for baby turtles!
(So you want it to outlive you both?)
(The only difference is that the turtles miraculously have a better chance at survival.)
Sitting on the beach, Lauren and Ben share the sentiment that the other is too good for them.
Is this too good to be true?
Well, according to the universe, Im going to say yes.
At dinner, Lauren tells Ben that hes legitimately the man of her dreams.
So obviously she says yes to the fantasy suite.
After all, if theres one thing this couple needs, its sex time.
As Lauren puts it, shes ready to let her walls down and open up to Ben.
My favorite interaction:
JoJo: Can you believe were here?
It seems Bens able to wrap his head around the whole flying thing much easier than JoJo.
Completely shocked, JoJo asks, Are you allowed to say that?
No, hes not, but Ben doesnt care.
When it comes to sweaters and love, hes pretty ballsy.
This just in: Cailas a goner.
Now, she has zero doubts hell be my husband some day.
BUT HE SAID IT TO LAUREN, TOO; SOMEONE MAKE IT STOP!
Ben voices his only hesitation when it comes to their relationship: the support of her family.
(By saying I love you, you just made things 10 times worse if you dont pick her.
Those brothers are definitely killing you now, buddy.)
Just like that, Bens happy, and JoJo thinks, It feels so nice to hear you talk.
(When doesnt he talk?)
Okay, now this is just getting dirty.
After a classic moment of youre so cute, no YOU are, Ben leaves JoJo.
He has a decision to make.
(If only running down stairs were so simple.
Has Ben ever looked nerdier?
Am I the only one who noticed that?)
In this moment, Caila transitions from her bubbly self to her sassy self.
He tries to explain that hell miss her, but shes not buying it.
He promises her that coming into this week he hadnt made up his mind.
that he realized what he had to do.
And you know shes staying put this time as she buckles her seatbelt.
(And also to make benches feel more important than they are.)
And with that, weve made it to the final two weeks of the season!
Until then, Ill be researching baby turtles and the origin of Mels Australian accent.
(Spoiler: Its probably Australia.)
