How did you guys think that went?

About time we start stepping it up on the show.

At least the hot tub had a view this time (and no Kevin Hart).

Loved how awkward it was watching them give a shot to kiss on the plane.

jennifermarcus[10:05 PM]

Ill be honest: Im into Lauren B. and Ben together.

I honestly dont know which is which.

shirley[10:05 PM]

I liked Lauren B.!

She and Ben were cute enough together to make me remember her from the other Laurens.

How do you guys think they did?

But they tried super hard, which I thought was admirable!

jennifermarcus[10:08 PM]

Their uniforms were really ugly.

Thats where my focus was for most of the game.

cristinaeverett[10:10 PM]

any standout moments to you guys for the winners at the cocktail party after?

shirley[10:10 PM]

Aside from Olivias toes, you mean?

Fat toes, cankles… LIFE IS HARD.

cristinaeverett[10:12 PM]

did you guys catch Olivias tweet about her toes during the episode?

crackliffe[10:12 PM]

So many LOTR references with rings and toes… so little time.

Thats a REAL girl right there!

But it was obvious that was just her slightly anxious personality.

It was fine: she was a real person.

And her detractors are just jelly.

The moment they shared when she cried and they hugged was really sweet.

She has experienced actual hardship and served our country.

shirley[10:18 PM]

I was just waiting for Jubilee to shoot energy fireworks out of her hands.

cristinaeverett[10:23 PM]

Okay, Ill take my own Lace bait.

ABC reality shows are not a substitute for good therapy.

cristinaeverett[10:25 PM]

Can we discuss how creepy Olivias feelings are towards Ben?

crackliffe[10:26 PM]

Shes creepily possessive and I just cant with her.

You need a villain.

jennifermarcus[10:28 PM]

A news anchor that spent $40K on her Bachelor wardrobe, apparently!

shirley[10:32 PM]

Lauren B.

jennifermarcus[10:33 PM]

Lauren B. is definitely up there now!

She got the high budget date.

jessica.derschowitz[10:35 PM]

Lauren B. for sure.

cristinaeverett[10:35 PM]

Well, that will do it for this weeks Most Dramatic Slack Chat ever.

Well be back next week with more.
