This week on The Bachelorette, the gang is heading to Santa Barbara. Andi drives up to The Bacara Resort to get settled. I mentioned this resort, because after checking out their website, I discovered that they are in the Meritage family of resorts and I have stayed at their sister resort in Napa, how cool! She wears a fuchsia button up dress. This Jessica Simpson Sleeveless Dress with Laser Cut Eyelet Trim ($79.99) is similar. There are additional sizes for $128 here.

The first date card arrives for Nick and reads “Let’s ride off into the sunset.” Nick is skeptical about this whole process, but Andi makes him feel comfortable with a normal date going on a bike ride. She wears a turquoise blouse, Paige Denim Catalina Denim Shorts ($139) white shorts and a Peggy Li Feather Necklace ($59). I found this turquoise blouse from Modcloth ($29.99):

Following the bike ride, they go for a hike and Nick reveals that he has a schoolboy crush on Andi and she seems to like his honesty. Andi wears a Free People Denim & Knit Jacket ($148)and her Mali beads, first seen in Week 2 here:

For dinner, Andi and Nick are treated to a romantic setting outside of a courthouse. She asked him the tough questions, but Nick said all the right things and Andi gives him the rose. I got the impression that Andi really likes Nick, she may not have as much chemistry with him, but she really wants to. It seems like they have similar personalities. They had a pretty steamy make-out session at the end of the date.

Andi wore a sold-out BCBG Thandie Jumpsuit and the Stella & Dot Hannah Chandeliers ($49). I found this similar KamaliKulture Jumpsuit ($99), but if I am going to wear a jumpsuit I need it to be a little sexier, so I would go with this Romwe Lace Backless Jumpsuit ($39.99):

Back at the house, the group date card comes for Brian, Marquel, Cody, Tasos, Brett, Ron, Bradley, Josh, Eric, Drew, Patrick and Marcus and reads “Let’s start things off on the right note.” The guys think they are going to karaoke…boy will they be surprised.

On this date, the boys meet Boyz II Men and learn to sing “I’ll Make Love to You” so they can perform in front of a live audience. They were pretty good sports about the whole date, even though most of them sounded awful. I had a hard time listening to this again when I was putting together this blog. Once was more than enough! Andi wore Rag & Bone Portabella Leather Shorts ($440), sold-out ASTR Faux-Leather Trim Layer Tank, Rachel Roy Paavi Laser Cut Leather Ankle Boots, and sold-out Tasha Spike Necklace:

Since most of the items were sold-out, I tried recreating this look with similar Halogen Leather Shorts ($198), Pleated Halter Top ($17.80), Michael Kors Graham Booties ($265) or on sale here if you are a size 10 like me, and a spike necklace from Etsy ($12):

At the cocktail party, Andi has fun pulling a little prank on Cody, but he seemed to get a kick out of it. She wore a Cut25 by Yigal Azrouël hot pink one-shoulder dress ($276.50) and Robyn Rhodes Nima Ring in Turquoise/Gold ($99). I found a similar one-shoulder dress from Dress Barn ($70):

Andi had some steamy makeout time with Josh and Marcus and ended up giving Josh the rose. She is so into him, it’s not hard to figure out that he will go far this season.

The next one-on-one date card arrives at the mansion for JJ and reads “Love is timeless.” I thought this was a really interesting date. Andi and JJ got elderly makeovers and spent the day being old together. They seemed to have a lot of fun, which was great, but I think this would have been better as a third or fourth date, not as the first date. They sort of put JJ in the friend zone by doing this. Andi wore a blue cotton dress before her makeover. This Splendid Flowing Woven Dress ($138) is similar or this Eileen Fischer Racerback Dress is a similar style with a different shade of blue ($178):

Back at the house, Ron received an upsetting call that one of his close friends had passed away. He decided to leave and spend time with his family and friends. What a terrible loss, our thoughts and prayers go out to him.

Dylan also shared a heartbreaking story. I wondered why the producers showed that conversation, I wonder if he will be featured more prominently in the next episode and they are setting it up.

JJ and Andi get to take off their makeup for dinner (thank goodness) and get some normal one-on-one time. JJ opens up to her and although I didn’t really see the chemistry, she likes him and gave him the rose. I loved her dress for dinner, it was so beautiful and feminine. It was the Bela Criacao Nicola Dress ($298). I found some similar options in this Arden B. Mesh Back Knit Dress ($59), this Gianni Bini Emma Fitted Mesh Dress ($71.40) or this Lauren Ralph Lauren Crocheted Lace Dress ($184):

She also wore this darling Robyn Rhodes Andi Ring ($75):

This week’s cocktail party was interesting. JJ and Josh confront Andrew about getting a girl’s phone number while they were out to dinner. I’m not sure how much of this was contrived, but I thought it was interesting that the guys got to go out to dinner, when past contestants have been sequestered in the house.

Andi wore a Badgley Mischka Orchid dress ($594) which is now on sale from the first time I mentioned it here last season. This is very similar to what Clare wore the first night of The Bachelor. This look for less at iFitDress.com ($79.99) is still available:

Eric gets some one-on-one time with Andi, but they are interrupted by a flower delivery from Nick. This was a Bachelorette first, but a nice touch from Nick. It was obviously staged by the producers to show up at that exact time. Poor Eric, that totally threw him off his game.

Andi accessorized her look with these Selena Drop Earrings from Melinda Maria ($198) and the Sydney, Morgan, Jaclyn bracelets from Courtney Lee ($145):

At the rose ceremony, Andi sends Brett and Bradley home this week.

What did you think of Andi’s choices this week?

There was on deleted scene this week where we see JJ telling Josh about Andrew getting another girl’s phone number:

I enjoy reading Bachelor spoilers and if you are interested in finding out what happens in advance you can check out Reality Steve for more information. He also has great behind the scenes details on which cast-offs are dating and who is going take the final rose this season.
