This "Bachelor" junkie can hardly believe this season is coming to an end! Week eight was all about the overnight dates for the remaining three ladies and Ben. And what better place to feel the romance fly than in Jamaica. For those of you unfamiliar with the show, the overnight dates is when Ben offers each of the remaining ladies keys to spend the night as a couple in the "fantasy suite."
Caila was up first. Nerves took over as they took a rafting trip down the river. As you can imagine, there were lots of awkward silences and her lack of communication caused red flags to pop up for Ben. As the night went on, Caila was finally ready to open up to Ben and say those three magic words. She was also quick to spend the night in the fantasy suite. Caila was all smiles the morning after their night together. But does Ben feel the same way? I think waves may crush this relationship!

The second date went to Lauren B. and they were all smiles. There is something different about their relationship. It just seems natural. They seemed like a normal couple as they released baby sea turtles into the water. No surprise, she was quick to accept the key to stay together in the fantasy suite. Once inside their romantic getaway, she told Ben she loved him. Then my jaw hit the floor when Ben told her he loved her too! Say what?! This never happens! "The Bachelor" isn't supposed to say that until he gives out the final rose.
JoJo got the final overnight date. After playing under a waterfall, she told Ben she is in love with him. Once again, he said it back to her! Seriously, Ben, get it together! JoJo didn’t hesitate when asked if she wanted to spend the night in the fantasy suite. Just like Lauren B., she felt like she would be final woman standing. Yikes! I don't know how Ben is going to dig himself out of this hole.
Then in a surprise twist, Caila makes a daring move and surprises Ben. Little did she know she was about to be crushed. Ben didn't hold back and told her he was in love with two women and she wasn’t one of them. He walked her out, but she quickly ran back to him because she needed answers. Unfortunately, I don’t think she got the reassurance she was hoping for. In the end, she left heartbroken and confused. My heart when out to her, but I had a feeling it wouldn't last.
Next up, the rose ceremony. JoJo and Lauren B. both eagerly accepted roses and had no idea Ben told them both he was in love with them. After all the crazy moments this episode, this rose ceremony was so normal. I was hoping for something juicy to come out of it. Alas, both women think they are "the one."
Monday night is my favorite episode of the season, "The Women Tell All." The kicked off ladies will dish about all the drama, and look for answers to all their lingering questions.
Then in two weeks, it’s the dramatic finale. Will Ben propose or leave alone?
Don’t miss a minute of the action Monday at 7 p.m. on KSAT 12.
