ETHAN, TYLER
Rachel’s Group Date Involves… Weightlifting Cheese? 🧀
Rachel’s group date starts with Aven expressing his excitement about being with the bachelorette, Tino acknowledging how beautiful she is, and Tyler hoping to melt her heart.
The group is in Edam, the cheese capital of the world, as they dance to live music and try cheeses. Aven is the first to score intimate time with Rachel as Tino steals her shortly after for some time before the group exercise.
Rachel asks the group to take off their shirts, spraying sunscreen on their chests before each of them carries weights of cheese on their shoulders in a competition. Aven is the first to be cut in the competition, followed by Ethan and Tino simultaneously.
RACHEL RECCHIA, TINO
Despite Tino being cut from the competition, he wins the ‘Cheese King of Edam,’ kissing Rachel at the end of the challenge. Tyler expresses his dissatisfaction watching Tino win the day, eager to win the evening as it approaches.
Rachel starts the evening appreciating how fun the group date was and reinforcing the seriousness of what’s at stake to the group. The bachelorette also reveals that she will be putting a lot of thought into who she hands her rose to with hometowns approaching, understanding how critical her decisions will be.
Tyler achieves his wishes, melting Rachel’s heart enough to win the group rose, leaving Tino feeling at a loss for words, having felt confident about his day with her. Before Tino leaves the group, he congratulates Tyler and expresses his confusion after his time alone with Rachel, second-guessing their connection.
