The Bekah-ning: 'Bachelor' Arie will proceed with caution

NEW YORK -- This week has been dubbed, "The Bekah-ning," due to Arie finally finding out Bekah's age. They have a 14-year age difference, which the other ladies think might not go over very well. Chris Harrison showed up to let the ladies know that there would not be a date in LA because Arie left for Lake Tahoe on their first stop on their trip around the world. It's picturesque and the perfect setting for Arie to find love. Arie says he enjoys being outdoors and he can't wait to share some dates in nature with the women.

Kendall told Arie how she travels with a tiny pig, and it made him laugh. Then they did some kissing. He said she's not like anyone else that he's ever met. He also feels that their chemistry is off the charts.

Meantime, Krystal complained to the other women that she doesn't get enough time, when she was lucky enough to have Arie in her hiking group. Then she grabbed him away for a chat while Tia and Caroline griped about how they can't stand her. Krystal complained to Arie about how she misses him and how she has a target on her back because he gave her a one-on-one so early. He asked her about what was going on. She complained about Caroline and Tia's joking in the hot tub earlier and as they were cuddling together. Krystal cried to Arie about how she hates being judged by the women, and he did his best to reassure her.

Then, Krystal pulled Tia and Caroline aside and called them out for joking about her and Arie in the hot tub. They said they weren't making fun of them and that Krystal has been hurting their feelings the whole time. Tia went back to Arie to defend her character. She didn't even want to have to talk about Krystal, but she had to because it was brought up to him. Arie reassured her that he believes her and that he "has a plan." They kissed and all was well again. Arie went back into the room full of women and picked up the date rose, he gave it to Tia! Krystal was beyond confused and upset.

It was time for the cocktail party before the rose ceremony. Krystal was freaking out because she didn't feel confident going into the rose ceremony. She was annoying the women so much by saying a bunch of dumb stuff about relationships in general and making the most of their time. Surprise, surprise, Chris Harrison showed up and told the ladies Arie didn't want a cocktail party and that he's already made up his mind. Before Arie could start to hand out the roses, Krystal asked Arie to go off to talk. She wanted to tell him that she's got a strong connection with him and that she didn't want to talk poorly about the other girls because she "adores and respects" them. She reiterated that she respects him and she's there for him. They went back to the other ladies and resumed the rose ceremony.

Arie gave roses to:

1) Seinne

2) Tia

3) Bekah

4) Lauren

5) Kendall

6) Ashley

7) Becca

8) Chelsea

9) Jenna

10) Jacqueline

11) Marique

12) Krystal

That meant that Caroline and Brittany were eliminated. I'm going to miss them! They were both pretty funny ladies with positive spirits. Their perfect match must be out there somewhere. "Bachelor Nation" we've got at least one more week with Krystal.

Next week, Arie and the ladies travel to Fort Lauderdale. Tia and Arie's relationship heats up as Krystal becomes "unhinged." Apparently, it comes to a head as all of the ladies decide enough is enough, time to talk to Arie.
