I Watched "The Bachelorette" Last Night So You Didn't Have To

    And that's what you missed on Bach!

    Helloooo, Bach Nation! Welcome to your sixth installation of Bach in a Bite: The Official Bachelorette Recap.

    Graphic that says 'The Bachelorette Recap: The Roses, The Thorns, And Everything In Between'

    Now, this isn't meant to be a two-hour affair, so let's jump right in, shall we?

    Tayshia's group date started with a "grown-ass man challenge," hosted by none other than Ashley I. and Jared:

    Our winner is *drumroll* Harvard Bennett!

    The man-child award went to *drumroll* Ed!

    During the cocktail hour, Bennett and Ed confronted Chasen about his ~intentions~ and if he was here for ~the right reasons~:

    However, this is The Bach, so what would the season be without one suitor calling another suitor out during one-on-on time:

    Ed talking to Tayshia

    But the joke's on BOTH of them, because Ivan got the date-night rose on the group date:

    Fast-forward to the cocktail party. Chasen decided to address the rest of the men and admit that he did describe Tayshia and Clare in similar ways, but now he's only using one phrase to describe Tay from now on:

    My exact reaction when he had the gall to say that out loud to a group of men dating the same woman:

    Tay and Zac C. had a MOMENT during the cocktail hour. Zac C. was talking about how he's ready to be a partner, a husband, a father, and Tayshia asked if it's because the other suitors are saying the same thing, and he had the hottest response:

    But the Chasen/Ed drama continued well into the evening...however, at the end of the day, they both got roses:

    Jay, Montel, and Peter were sent home. A fallen petal for our fallen suitors:

    The next group date involved the suitors getting oiled up...to wrestle one another, because mess:

    And joining Chris Harrison was none other than Wells Adams, the world's best bartender:

    Clearly the whole point of this exercise was to get Chasen and Ed in the ring, but due to a past injury, Ed could not participate. But have no fear! Noah the 'Stache is here!

    Cinematic parallels:

    The other suitors were NOT pleased when Noah the 'Stache got invited to their post-date cocktail hour, even though he was not invited on the original date:

    Like, Noah not only FOUGHT for Tayshia, he SHAVED for Tayshia:

    Needless to say, he swooped in, took the date-night rose, and the other suitors were NOT pleased:

    Aaaannnnd, that's what you missed! Tune in next week — and the rest of the season — for the roses, the thorns, and everything in between!
