A Very Lucky Girl

We last left Hannah Brown and Chris Harrison sitting fireside in LA at the Bachelor mansion, recapping a season that I’ve already recapped. Somehow, Harrison and Hannah have hopped on a plane to be back in Riga, Latvia in order to shoot some real content.  Hannah stands in a cathedral and reflects on her journey thus far. She is ready for a new week and a fresh start -- this is approximately the 9 billionth fresh start this season for those keeping score. Hannah has a good feeling for Riga and what it can bring (nudity, if the previews are to be believed).  Her suitors wander Riga and marvel at the romance of the city. Tyler C is wearing a light-washed jean jacket from the local Latvian Goodwill, but we won't hold it against him. A knock sounds at the hotel door and reveals a date card on a stool.  “Garrett, can I trust our love? Love, Hannah.” Luke is verging on apoplectic and we’ve only been in Latvia for about 8 minutes. He is immensely jea...

We pick up where we left off in Rhode Island with the Luke showdown. Hannah is confused and fed up with hearing the Lukes discuss each other and asks them to sit down and talk to each other. She wants to hear what’s going on. Luke S accuses Luke P of sabotage and that he is not trustworthy. Luke P continues to accept zero responsibility for his lies. Hannah’s boredom with the entire conversation increases by the second, until she gets up and walks away. Luke S rests his head in his hands, defeated by the classic narcissist. Chris Harrison announces the conclusion of the cocktail party and the imminent rose ceremony. Hannah’s suitors are frustrated and blame Luke P for their lack of time with Hannah this evening. They all cut him off when he tries to speak in his defense. A gentleman I’ve literally never seen on camera until this instant narrates the options: Luke P could go home. Luke S could go home. Both Lukes could go home or both Lukes could stay. Thank you, stra...

source A lot has happened since premiere evening, both in Hannah Beast’s world and Oklahoma. Week Two featured tornado coverage in my neck of the woods -- so I caught the drag show at the beginning of the episode, but missed Cam crashing the group date because storm rotation. Week Three fell on Memorial Day Weekend Monday so I was holding my new niece and reading books about balls to my sweet nephew, placing Hannah’s journey to love on the back burner until Wednesday. A few things to note from Week Three: After experiencing simulated labor pains on the group date, Tyler C. tells Hannah that “women really do run this world” and I’m ready to write him in my ballot for 2020. #TylerCForPrez Cam confides in Hannah that he quit his job to come on the show as if he’s the first contestant who ever had to do this #groundbreaking. Tyler G -- who received the first one on one date of the season in Week 2 -- leaves the show abruptly, randomly, and without any air time depicting t...
