This week on "The Bachelor," the girls were surprised with a week in Las Vegas. Before they left for Sin City, Jojo learned that she got the first one-on-one date with Ben. Olivia was a bit disturbed by not getting a private date with Ben, her "husband." The creepy factor continuously rises for dear Olivia every week, and I’m officially sure that I don’t want her for Ben. Luckily, this week allowed Ben to slowly see what one of his favorites is about.

Ben and Jojo’s date went off without a hitch. They went on a helicopter ride, had some intimate conversation and watched fireworks from the roof of a building. Before they could even get on the helicopter, these two began their makeout session (which the other girls could clearly see from their hotel suite). Most of the girls walked away, but Olivia sort of creepily watched Ben kiss Jojo. She expressed that it was hard watching "her husband" kiss other girls and that it sort of felt like she’s being cheated on.

Side note: Did Olivia not get the memo of what "The Bachelor" is? Also, I may be new to this show, but do girls obsessively call the bachelor their husband over and over again? Someone clear this up, because I’m a bit perplexed at the moment.

Back to the story. Ben and Jojo had a great chemistry throughout the date, and I’m not just saying that because I watched them kiss more times than I can count. Jojo opened up to Ben about her trust issues and insecurities from her long-term relationship that ended only five months ago. Her guard is beginning to come to come down, but she’s terrified (obviously). Men break your heart, and it makes you more weary of certain situations – no shame in that Jojo! Ben expressed his growing affections for Jojo and actually said that he’s falling for Jojo. If I’m not mistaken, this is the first time Ben admitted to already falling for one of the girls. I’ve heard him say that he could see himself falling, but not the actual act of falling. Hmm ... we might have a situation here!

The group date gave the girls the opportunity to have fun and be themselves with a talent show. The ladies were now faced with performing in front of about 1,200 people. The twins Emily and Haley performed a Riverdance routine, Jubilee played the cielo, Lauren B. juggled and Olivia jumped out of a cake and awkwardly walked around and shimmied. Olivia was visibly uncomfortable, and everyone felt it for her. I’m confused because she built up her performance in such a crazy yet fun way, then completely bombed on the stage. Her performance was followed by a breakdown backstage, where she felt even more embarrassed because Ben looked so horrified while watching her. I will say that the discomfort in Ben’s face was priceless. He was still enough of a gentleman to give her a hug after she trudged to the audience with her tail tucked between her legs.

The group date was followed by the usual mini dates with Ben, and Lauren B. and Caila really stood out. Caila surprised Ben with her sexy confidence, even though she tends to have a shy aspect of her personality. Lauren B. came to see Ben and, as usual, I felt the love. Ben and Lauren’s chemistry is undeniable, and I keep saying it, but I feel like I’m intruding on their moment. Did you see how he put his face in the nape of her neck and genuinely embraced her? Lauren says that she’s falling for Ben, and something tells me that he’s falling for her too.

Olivia had a few short minutes with Ben, but wasn’t very confident about their conversation. It was the first time they talked and didn’t share a kiss. She started to panic because their encounter felt different this time. I can’t say that I disagree with it being different; I think Ben is starting to raise his antennae on Olivia. And, no, I don’t think it had anything to do with her talent show performance.

As one of the twins (Emily, I believe) was having some alone time with Ben, Olivia rudely interrupted yet again. She attempted to explain to him that she wasn’t herself and blah blah blah. Long story short, it was weird. All her efforts to save face and get the rose were futile, for Lauren B. was awarded with the rose of the night.

Becca was up for her solo date with Ben, and she was presented with a nice wedding dress and picked up in a pink cadillac for their date. She met Ben at a chapel where he got on one knee and asked Becca to marry other people with him (he’s an ordained minister).

Ben, how could you scare a lady like that? I get that they were in Vegas, but you can’t deliver a wedding dress and get down on one knee without really meaning it! Poor Becca was probably having a heart attack, but he made up for it by taking her to the famous neon museum. They discussed aspects of their lives, and it all ended with Ben expressing his attraction to her ability to commit to a cause and that she’s in it for marriage.

Unexpectedly, twins Emily and Haley are surprised to find out that they’re going on a date in their hometown with Ben ... together. The three of them traveled to their mom’s house, where they each pulled him aside to their individual rooms and talked with him. Ben chose to leave Haley behind with her mom’s shoulder to cry on while Emily rode off into the sunset with Ben.

The rose night arrived and Jen was able to snatch Ben up first before Olivia could sink her claws in him. Jen’s time with Ben was short-lived, however, because – surprise, surprise – Olivia pulled him away after about three minutes. She profusely apologized for her awkward performance and tried to explain that it wasn’t her, which Ben quickly shut down. He told her that she doesn’t need to explain herself nor apologize, and that he found her quirks to be cute. He obviously meant what he said because she got the last rose.

Rachel and "The Bachelor" vet Amber were sent home, and I was left wondering how Olivia’s spazztic nature got a rose over Amber. Oh well. I’m not too mad because it seems like Ben is going to catch onto Olivia next week, and I can’t wait!
