After failing to talk to half of their 32 potential suitors and canceling the rose ceremony, Monday's episode of The Bachelorette found Gabby and Rachel dealing with the difficult task of figuring out which of the remaining 29 men to invite on a group date.
Their solution was to make them compete in a pageant, while wearing Speedos, to earn one of six spots at the group date after-party. The winners were Aven, Logan, Brandan, Jason, Johnny and Colin.
That led to an awkward moment for the bachelorettes when both zeroed in on Logan as the recipient of their roses. Rachel's ultimately went to Logan, while Gabby settled on Johnny.
Rachel's first one-on-one date, a once-in-a-lifetime 'Zero-G Experience' with Jordan V., ended with the 27-year-old Georgia-based drag racer being sent home. He never made it to see country singer Brett Young and rising country star Ashley Cooke perform their romantic hit, "Never Til Now."
Gabby's one-on-one date with Nate, which included a helicopter tour of Los Angeles followed by a steamy hot tub session, went much better, ending with her pinning the date rose on him.
Meanwhile, back at the mansion, Chris' premature talk of fantasy suites and his intention to leave the competition if either girl was intimate with another contestant, without letting them know in advance, ticked off some of the men, who brought it to Gabby and Rachel's attention at the pre-rose ceremony cocktail party. Chris was ultimately sent packing. That led to a brief confrontation between Chris and his accusers, after which he was escorted off the premises.
At the rose ceremony, Brandan, Colin, John, Justin B., Matt and Ryan were sent home.
