This week on "The Bachelor," Ben took the remaining nine girls to the Bahamas for a week of fun. However, we soon notice that the tables turn quite a bit.

We left off last week with Ben pulling Olivia aside after hearing all of those negative comments about her from the other girls. Olivia told Ben that she knows she can be intimidating, and getting the very first rose put a target on her back. Yeah right, Olivia! You speak fluent b*tch, and we all know it. Anyway, Ben let her stay, but Jennifer had to say goodbye. Who is Jennifer you ask? That’s actually a good question, because I didn’t quite know who she was either until last night. Oops ... was that unnecessary shade?

Caila, one of my personal favorites, got the first solo date with Ben. Another girl we haven’t seen much of, Leah, was highly upset that she didn’t get the solo date since she’s never had one with him before. She said that she felt foolish for wasting her time there. I understand where she came from – who wouldn’t? It was messy on Ben’s part for taking girls on second dates before everyone got at least one. He said that he was aware of the fact that not everyone has gotten a date, but he needed another with Caila because their date was intruded upon by Ice Cube and Kevin Hart. Understandable, yet also unfair.

While Leah cried her eyes out about what could’ve been her date, Ben and Caila went on a nice boat ride, complete with deep sea fishing. Ben made note of Caila’s seemingly constant smiley nature and wanted to see her layers. Caila surprised me during this conversation because she didn’t hesitate to let Ben know that she felt like she was being put on the spot to cry on Ben’s shoulder. I have to give her props for that because I took her as a more passive person, but she sure proved me wrong!

Despite her feelings of being slightly ambushed, Caila told Ben that she feels like she loves him, but she wasn’t ready to open up all the way. Ben finds her to be confusing, but is attracted to that confusion. In my opinion, Caila seems like the girl at the sandwich shop who chooses wheat over white while ordering a sandwich, immediately switches to white and then stops the person from actually making the sandwich until she makes up her mind while the line backs up behind her. Luckily, she let Ben know about her indecisive nature, so I can’t be mad whatsoever.

The girls went with Ben on a boat ride to a little island in the middle of the ocean where they fed pigs hot dogs – how fun! Not long into the group date, the girls began having serious mood swings once they saw Ben with Lauren B. Ben expressed how uncomfortable he felt to Jojo and tried to get her on his side, but even Jojo wasn’t having it! All the women have noticed Ben and his obvious attraction to Lauren B., and are upset about him dedicating so much time to her. With the tension already high, Leah decided to confront Ben about her feeling like she hasn’t gotten a chance. Ben said that she wouldn’t be there if he wasn’t interested, but, let’s be honest here, he gave her NO clarity. None. Guys and their communication skills, I tell ya!

At the cocktail party, Ben tried the good ol' "Let me get on everyone’s good side" move, but these women weren’t afraid to give him the real. Ben told Becca that he got the vibe of her being standoffish towards him, to which Becca agreed. Becca brought up the obvious connection between Ben and Lauren B., and how it makes the girls uneasy when they see him showing preference to her all the time.

Once it came time for Leah to speak with Ben, she insinuated that some of the women aren’t being real – and then proceeded to outright name Lauren B. Leah said that Lauren is fake, and he sees something different from what the ladies in the house see. Ben obviously let Lauren B. know of the accusations made against her, and she began crying about it once she was sitting with the other girls.

Leah walked into the room with Lauren B. crying and made it a point to say that she never said that, and would never be the type of person to single somebody out. Plot twist: Leah is sneaky little liar who can’t be trusted! This whole time we were thinking that Olivia was the crazy one, but as it turns out, Leah is too. To make matters worse, Leah went up to Ben’s room to further tarnish Lauren B.’s name, but Ben wasn’t having it and sent her packing.

The last date was a two-on-one instead of the usual solo date. Ben brought Olivia and Emily along, knowing that one of them would be going home after that. Olivia was so confident about the date that the thought of her returning never even crossed her mind. Once she got alone time with Ben, Olivia straight up told him that she’s in love with him. Ben didn’t waste any time in telling Olivia that he’s not reciprocating the feels, and it’s not going to work out between them and let her go. Ben’s decision truly turned the tables, and it left cuckoo Olivia on the beach at the beginning of a hurricane saying, "What just happened?" Your access was denied; that’s just what happened!

Rose night was hard for Ben because he felt so alone after some of the girls’ attitudes changes. He didn’t feel like he had it in him to make small talk at the usual cocktail party and decided to go straight into the rose ceremony. The last rose came down to the two Laurens, but Lauren B. ended up with the last rose (no surprise there). It’s now getting down to the wire, and from the looks of the upcoming scenes, we have a few more twists and turns in store. Stay tuned next week for another episode of "The Bachelor!"
