Top Scorers
1) Norm Core Nick (62 points) - Wow, what a performance! Confirmed coitus is definitely a way to rack up points quickly (Nick also got credit for multiple makeout sessions since they occurred on different dates, and a Week 6 rose). The sex scenario left me with a lot of questions though. Do we think he actually spent the night or that this was convenient producing? Did they really not discuss telling the other guys after the fact? Why is Nick telling the other guys? It seems like a questionable play.
A few quotes from the sex scenes:
- "The physical connection is rock solid"
- "I want to know every part of you"
- "It was intimate, personal, comfortable...authentic"
Regardless of the answers to the above questions, Nick did score (and he scored big this week) - vaulting Team Undrafted to the top of the leaderboard.
2) Jared (16 points) - Jared was the only other candidate that scored major points, grabbing the first rose as the week 5 ceremony, a week 6 rose, and makeout time. I continue to be surprised that he's able to hold off the other contestants and winning that group date rose was a big win for him, potentially putting him out in front over Shawn B and Ben H. We'll see if he can keep it up though.
3) Shawn B (3 points) - I'm going to ignore everyone else and just talk about Shawn B for a second. It's apparent that Shawn B is a favorite in Kaitlyn's heart but he's dealing with some serious insecurity issues. Realistically, I think it's unfair to judge him for this, in a similar situation I'm sure most people would also feel insecure if they were actually as into Kaitlyn as he seems to be.
I thought his interaction with the producer was interesting. First off, it made it apparent that the producers and contestants have real relationships, breaking down the "fourth wall" in a similar way to how Real World has done recently. Secondly, I thought it was interesting that he referenced hanging out with Kaitlyn "off the record" for many hours one night. I'm surprised that the producers didn't edit it out. Do we think they had coitus as well? Maybe. We'll get some insight in the coming weeks into this late night foray.
Power Rankings:
1) Team Milli: (2/5 Remaining):
Boy, are those 2 remaining guys good ones to have! I think both Shawn B and Ben Z will be around for long enough to stay out in front of Team Undrafted.
2) Team Undrafted: (2/2 Remaining):
While Chris Harrison has been a complete non-factor in recent weeks, Norm Core Nick is all in, scoring more points in the past 3 weeks then 4 of the 5 teams all season. It will be tight down the stretch to see who wins.
3) Team K: (2/5 Remaining)
I think Team K has enough points in the bank to hold onto third even though I don't see JJ or Chris going much farther.
4) Team Wiz: (2/5 Remaining)
Tanner expects to go home this week and I agree with him, which will leave my team with only Ben H going forward. Should be solid enough to stay in front of Team E and A, but unlikely to catch K or Milli.
5) Team E: (1/5 Remaining)
Jared continues to pour in the points and keep Team E respectable. Who would have thought her last pick in the draft would have been this productive?
6) Team A: (1/5 Remaining)
Will he win the 2x1?? #Joe
