Group Date #2

Time for another group outing! Let's see what our contestants and bachelor got up to

As per Dakota's sister's suggestion, the group went out to a local, literally underground bar

If there's one thing we know about this group, it's that when there's music, they're going to dance. Even Levi, who supposedly hates dancing.

Once they tired themselves out a bit they all gathered at the bar, despite there not being seats for everyone (rip)

Drinks, dancing and good conversations were had before they left at around 2pm.

Second Elimination | Part 2

Next up to get his rose is Xolo, who has been doing pretty good so far, but might need to start upping his game as the numbers in the ranch dwindle

Once more, Clive and Rory were very close in relationship scores with Dakota

Ultimately it came down to who had the lowest, meaning sadly Rory has to leave us this week.

He left with a smile on his face and gratefulness for the experience he had in the ranch, and we are no less grateful to have had him!

Thank you @mobwhim for submitting him for the bc <3 he has been such a sweetheart and a joy to see around the house, I'm so sad to see him go but I'm sure I'll see him around the world!

Bonus under the cut:

Third Elimination | Part 1

After a lovely day at the park, being given a chance to impress our bachelor with their cooking skills, and the first solo date (for Cisco), it's time to head into the third elimination round!

Their date went so well, it's no surprise Cisco got to the top of the relationship scores, which was already pretty good before, but the date was the cherry on top

Levi, Mauro and Asher continue to be in the same order of relationship scores, and are all pretty close to each other, it wouldn't take much for someone to swap 👀

Mauro and Asher are also lately the ones Dakota has had his eye on the most

Next time, we'll see who, out of Clive, Xolo and Rory, get their roses and who will unfortunately be asked to leave the bachelor ranch

Solo Date #1: Cisco Torres

Dakota always had a plan for his first solo date of the challenge: outdoor picnic at the gulch

Being the winner of the cooking contest, with his excellent dish that got awarded a fantastic reaction from Dakota, Cisco Torres gets to go on the first solo date of this Bachelor Challenge!

For the picnic, Dakota made shrimp po'boys and brought some of his own homemade wine

Dakota kicked things off with a flirtatious joke, getting them both in the mood

After some wine and even more chatting and flirting...

A First Kiss occurs!

Before going back to the ranch, they watched the sunset together because what's more romantic than that?

Cooking Contest! | Part 2

Time to taste those dishes! Just because he isn't a chef doesn't mean Dakota can't judge his own impromptu cooking contest, right?

In third place, we have Rory with his excellent and pretty tasty Fish Yakisoba

In second, Clive's excellent and delicious Pierogis

And in first... drum roll please... is Cisco! Dakota found his excellent Chicken Adobo to be fantastic! Which means he wins this bachelor challenge's first ever Solo Date 🥳🥳🥳

Shout out to Asher for also making an excellent dish even if they didn't get placed on the podium

Cooking Contest! | Part 1

We've got our third elimination coming up soon, and no one has been on a solo date yet... To determine who gets the pleasure of a day alone with our bachelor, a little cooking contest is in order!

While one side of the improvised kitchen was a bit grumpy about all this cooking, or just not having a great day, the other side were having a delightful time.

Mauro and Xolo in particular have a dislike for cooking, so you can imagine how they felt.

Still, everyone completed their dishes for our bachelor to try and judge.

Next time, we'll see what everyone made and how well the dish was received 👀

Free Day #2 (at the park)

To mix things up a bit, we took the bachelor and all the contestants out for a day at the local park for some fun and games!

There was a LOT of sitting around by the fire and roasting marshmallows and making s'mores, everyone sat down and did it at least once

Almost immediately upon arriving, some of the guys got together to have a water balloon fight, with Mauro getting knocked on his ass thanks to a particularly powerful throw from Clive

Looks like 3 of our contestants would make a great band together. If this whole bachelor challenge doesn't work out in their favor, there's always music!

Towards the end of the day there was some card playing, drinking, chatting, and for some reason, playing chess against a random child

Second Elimination | Part 2

We return to Rory and Clive getting their roses, their places swapped from last time, though they're pretty close in relationship level with Dakota. Dakota likes them both well enough, but neither seem to make too much of an effort to connect with him, while Dakota's been drifting towards the others.

Still, they have another week to build up those relationship scores! It's just a matter of if they're willing to fight for their place in the competition.

On the other hand, while Lucky did pursue Dakota, it eventually came down to the fact that Dakota didn't seem to reciprocate the interest in the end, and negative moodlets and sentiments were starting to form.

Obviously he was pretty bummed about having to leave, but Dakota gave him a few words of encouragement before he went to pack his bags.

I'm so sad to see him go! Lucky was such a delight to have in the ranch and his entry into the competition made me so excited to see where he'd go and what he'd do. He's such a charming lil guy and I love him, we'll definitely miss him around here!
