Tonight is episode three for The Bachelorette 2017 and Rachel Lindsay will continue on her journey to find love, with drama and craziness involved once again. Last week on the show, contestant DeMario Jackson was outed by an alleged girlfriend and couldn’t seem to give Lindsay a clear answer to questions about his connection to the girl. Unsatisfied and “feeling played”, Lindsay sent Jackson home, only for Jackson to show up at the mansion later that night. Hoping to speak with Lindsay, Jackson returned and was held up by security. But, out of curiosity, Lindsay decided to head over to Jackson to see what he had to say for himself. Meanwhile, the other contestants became upset when they heard Jackson was on the scene. As a result, they all headed to security to confront Jackson … and that’s where episode 2 left off last week. Now, before we get into tonight’s spoilers, don’t forget that next week, there will not be a new episode of the show. In fact, there will not be a new episode until the June 19, 2017, according to Reality Steve, because of Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
And, now that we have that out of the way, let’s get into episode 3 … But, DO NOT CONTINUE TO READ IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO KNOW WHO THE WINNER IS THIS SEASON.
The Initial Winner Reports Were Incorrect
For the last few weeks, Bachelorette blogger Reality Steve has reported that contestant Peter Kraus is the winner of the show this season. However, Reality Steve has now revealed that his initial report was incorrect. He says that the winner this season is actually Dr. Bryan Abasolo, explaining that:
One of the Group Dates Is On “The Ellen Show”
There are six men who go to The Ellen Show for one of the group dates. The contestants who participate include Fred, Alex, Jonathan, Bryan, Will, & Peter. If you recall, Fred is the contestant who Rachel Lindsay knew before the show. Lindsay was actually his counselor when he was very young and she said he was a bit unruly. It seems that Lindsay cannot get past this and Reality Steve reports that she lets Fred Johnson go after the “Ellen date”.
On the other group date tonight, there are eight guys who go to the Cowboy Palace in Chatsworth to engage in some mud wrestling. Former Bachelor contestants Jasmine, Alexis, Raven, and Corinne appear once again, and go on the group date with Lindsay. The four girls appear in order to help “judge” the guys. Contestants Eric, Kenny, Bryce, Brady, Adam, Lee, Dean, and Jack all participate in the wrestling, with Kenny and Bryce making it to the finals in the “competition”. Bryce ends up winning.
Anthony Battle Gets the Solo Date
Anthony Battle is the contestant who gets the solo date on tonight’s episode. For his outing with Rachel Lindsay, the two of them ride horses in Los Angeles and even by Rodeo Drive.
Giddyup!!! #TheBachelorette
And the Eliminated Contestants Tonight Are …
So, who are the contestants sent home during tonight’s episode? Well, you know that DeMario Jackson is gone for good. And, after the “Ellen date”, Fred Johnson is eliminated. As for the others who are sent home at the next rose ceremony, the contestants include Blake Elarbee, Lucas “Whaboom” Yancey, and Jamey Kocan.
The following rose ceremony may or may not be shown as well on tonight’s, but if it is, then these are the contestants who will be sent home: Brady Ervin, Kenneth “Diggy” Moreland, and Bryce Powers. What is interesting, is that Bryce Powers was one of the group date winners prior to this elimination.
