Caila already had the first date breakdown where she had stronger feelings than the other women. However, there's no time to cry when a date card has arrived. The group date was about Soccer
and Olivia. Olivia did everything in her power to remain the center of attention.
Despite the fact Jubilee thought JoJo or Becca would get a one-on-one date she gets the card. Jubilee has endured numerous hardships through her lack of family and being adopted. The women are finding it taxing to understand her personality, especially when she says things like, "who wants my date?" Jubilee seems to have a variety of defense mechanisms that can come off as abrasive.
Ben and Jubilee had a deep conversation about her past and they seemed to connect on an emotional level. Overall, the connection was strong, which made up for the awkwardness and offering up the date to another woman.
In three episodes we have seen a lot of intensity from hardships to death and developing relationships. The cocktail party was painful to watch, with the most tone-deaf being Olivia's conversation about cankles in such an inappropriate time.
Other than Olivia, Jubilee found herself in the center of drama. Jubilee stole Ben for alone time and gave him a massage, even though she already had a rose. While he appreciated this, the women did not. As Jubilee sat by Ben crying, Amber kept pushing her about issues that occurred in the house. Typically people argue with other contestants when the lead is not around. As a result Ben, felt closer to Jubilee.
To conclude the night, Lace left before the rose ceremony and Olivia was left for last. I was sad to see Lace leave, but that type of self-awareness was reassuring to see on this show.
