THE BACHELOR - Who Will Reuben Choose?

Round 3 - Grease Photoshoot with Ivy

I was so excited when I found out Reuben and I would be doing a Grease themed photoshoot! I really love the movie, and I can definitely relate to Sandy early on in it. The creative team told us we would be representing good Sandy and more rebellious Sandy, so that was a fun idea for me.

Our first photo was inspired by the dance scene in the school gym.
"I like the bad boy look on you Reuben."
"Thanks Ivy," he said, grabbing my arm and spinning me around so my yellow dress flared. He dipped me, and our faces were so close. The photographer told us to just dance and have fun as he snapped away.
Reuben could really dance, and at one point he lifted me up into the air and it was like we were the only people in the room. I know he wanted to kiss me, and it was no secret that I wanted to as well. After all, I have no poker face! That moment made for a perfect photo, so the photographer told us we could take a break while he changed the set.

Reuben and I walked outside to get some fresh air, hot from all the dancing.
"You're so much fun Ivy, I loved dancing with you. You have quite a few moves!"
I giggled, "Honestly I didn't think I could really dance, but you certainly know how to take the lead!"

We fell silent and my heart raced. He took a step toward me, and brushed his hand across my cheek. I nearly melted at his touch. He leaned in and kissed me so softly then pulled away, hands still around me. "Is this ok?" he asked.
"More than ok," I replied. I kissed him back and the moment was simply magical.

I changed into the second Sandy outfit, and Reuben's jaw dropped when he saw me.
"My turn to be dressed up in a 'not me' outfit. What do you think?" I said, doing a little twirl for him.
"You look quite cute in black and leather I must say," Reuben said, winking.
I blushed, loving the way he was looking at me.

We tried acting serious, but after a day of such fun, we ended up laughing, joking and dancing after every picture. Neither of us could stop smiling for long enough to take a sexy photo. My heart was still racing, and the kiss kept replaying in my mind. It was our little secret, and I loved that.

Tabloid Scandal!

PRODUCER QUESTION 1: Did seeing the others in their photoshoots today hit home about the process? Was it hard to watch other ladies date your bachelor at the same time?

"Gosh, it's honestly so real now. Especially seeing all the tabloid gossip after we did the shoot! I'm trying my best not to think about it or believe the stories, but it's very difficult. He's just soooo amazing, and wonderful. I'd be silly if I said that I don't mind sharing him, I mean who would? "

PRODUCER QUESTION 2: How did that tabloid picture come about? Why do you think that story came to surface the way it did?


"That was the most bizarre thing for me! I'm really upset about it actually. The kiss Reuben and I shared backstage was short, sweet, and innocent. It was our first kiss, and he was such a gentleman! They only managed to make it look like a make-out session because there's more than one photo! And about the cigarette, partying and boys? I've only ever had 2 boyfriends in my life! And the cigarette wasn't even real, it was a prop to mimic the movie when Sandy sees Danny for the first time in her sexy outfit. It was fun to be out of my comfort zone this time 'round, and I guess the gossip spiralled because they need to find something to write about, and they haven't been able to dig anything up."
