Dating shows are all the rage these days. Who doesn't like to see a bunch of sexy singles locked in a house for weeks on end, slowly driving each other insane in the hopes that two of them might find ...
I just gotta say all the people who aren't reading this are really missing out on the buildup to the reveal of what Joe actually looks like.
Some people say the best test for a relationship is to go on a vacation together. So we're sending Joe and the remaining contestants out on a vacation!
But first, Devon prepares a breakfast burrito at 4 am. Rebecca, still awake, apologizes for having used the last of the cheese on her own breakfast burrito. Devon throws a drink in her face because of the audacity, which causes Rebecca to throw down. Rebecca emerges from the fight victorious, and now Rebecca and Devon are enemies. Joe, who was watching the whole time, is thrilled his friend won the fight. "She really is amazing!" sighs Joe. https://i.imgur.com/wDNJWIt.png
Devon tells us, "I've always aspired to be Public Enemy Number 1, so this was just part of my plan. Of course I wanted to WIN the fight, but having an official enemy has always been a dream of mine. So the next few days before elimination should be fun!"
With that out of the way, we sent everyone to Granite Falls! We thought making them camp would be fun, so we had to send Joe out to buy camping supplies. Rebecca and Priscilla played horseshoes while the other girls complained about sleeping outside. Gemma lit the campfire and Katrina immediately put it out, which happened about 8 other times throughout the trip with different lighters and putter-outers.
Joe later joined the game of horseshoes, but as usual was more interested in chatting with Rebecca than playing.
Joe went into the tent to be sad for a while, and Rebecca followed him in. The other girls were distracted elsewhere, so Rebecca took advantage of their alone time... to tell a ghost story.
The other girls headed to the bathroom, with Priscilla and Gemma having a newfound fear of ghosts. Devon was spooked by the ghost but doesn't have a fear of ghosts, and is for some reason in an inspired mood, so went hiking alone in platform sandals at 1 am, followed by her warming herself up at someone else's campfire with a bear.
When the sun comes on day 2 of this vacation, Joe tells us how weird he feels. "I've had my own private bedroom the whole time in the house, so this is the first time I've slept next to somebody. It was kind of nice, even though the ground is lumpy and one of them snores."
Rebecca goes on a solo hike while Joe zones out when Priscilla is talking to him. The other three girls set the camping chairs on fire.
Joe tries to play cards with the girls he has the highest relationship with - Priscilla, Rebecca, and Gemma. Devon is offended she wasn't included so goes to pout in the tent, but then comes back out to have a conversation with Gemma, who abandons the game.
Later, Joe has the idea that the 6 of them should have a snowball fight. It doesn't snow in Sulani, and it's been snowing off and on since they got here, but it's finally deep enough to play in! The group separates into sort of redheads versus brunets - Katrina's hair looks red but is actually brown, and I figure you may have realized Joe has dark hair based on the glimpse of his body hair earlier!
Katrina had a BLAST and ends up with a fond sentiment about the experience.
On the final full day of vacation, everyone wakes up at 8 am. For some reason Devon, Priscilla, and Gemma went back in to take naps at 9 am. Rebecca took advantage of things being quiet to flirt with Joe by the fireside. Everything went great until Priscilla woke up and emerged from the tent. Furious at Joe "cheating", she slapped the heck out of him, leading their romance bar to turn one quarter red. Priscilla then opted to go for a jog after her jealous outburst. Rebecca and Joe made s'mores. Upon Priscilla's return, she flirted with Joe like absolutely nothing happened between them earlier. Priscilla is confident that things will ultimately work between the two of them. Joe just wants to go home.
After a while, we asked Joe for an update. Joe said, "I was kind of impressed, Gemma started flirting with me harder than she had before. Maybe it’s this snow, it’s got everybody in a romantic mood."
Okay. Why did you start talking about marriage with Rebecca, though? Flustered, Joe tells us, "I what? When? Oh when I was chatting with Gemma and Rebecca? Oh, I remember. Rebecca said something about how the scenery is so beautiful, what did we think about getting married in a place like this I guess? I said I never really thought about where to get married, but Tartosa seemed pretty. Fewer bugs there, too.” https://i.imgur.com/1dWdP8T.png
In all the fun, everyone seems to have forgotten the impending elimination. Joe? “Oh gosh, I complete forgot. Hm, I don’t know. It was an easier choice a few days ago, but suddenly everybody’s taking things so much more seriously. Gemma’s finally making an effort to flirt and we have good compatibility. Rebecca, I mean… yeah. Katrina’s doing better than she was before… Devon still seems to have little to no interest in me, but apparently since she and Rebecca hate each other now it’ll be good ratings to keep them both in one house for a long time? And Priscilla is just… She rages at me for “cheating on her” even though we’re not even boyfriend/girlfriend, she slaps me, she storms off, and then comes back to flirt with me, and then rages at me, and then flirts some more. It’s exhausting. I don’t know how much more I can take of this. I guess she really likes me, but I’m not desperate enough to live with that kind of behavior for much longer. After a lot of deliberation that went into the next morning, I decided ultimately to say goodbye to Katrina. I know I had doubts about her all along, and I feel bad because she seemed to be trying to correct her behavior, but she got the ‘single and lovin’ it’ lifestyle. I want to find my soulmate, and I don’t think I can find it in someone who enjoys being single.”
So, we say farewell to Katrina. Any parting thoughts? “I’m not surprised. I had more fun on this show than I thought I would. I did want to just build my online following, but I made some great friends here. I’m dying to find out what Joe looks like, but I think he made the right choice. I just don’t think we were ever going to be compatible. And I don’t think I could win the fight for his heart with Rebecca and Priscilla as competitors. Or Sienna’s ghost, I guess.” So with that we say adieu to Katrina.
Next time: the first of four days of individual outings for each remaining contestant! You won't want to miss the fourth one!
