This week on The Bachelorette Andi and the boys travel to Marseille, France! Andi meets with Chris Harrison to talk about the week and how she is feeling about the process. She wears a Rag & Bone Briana Wool Blend Sweater ($137) and this Alice & Olivia Pleated Leather Skirt ($495). I found a few similar skirt options, one at H&M for $15 and one at Zara for $19.99. For the sweater, this Design History Sweater ($65) fits the look: As soon as the men arrive they receive the first date card, in French. What we do know is that Josh gets the first date card. I loved Andi’s outfit on this date. She wears a pink half placket blouse from Vince. The pink color is sold out but I found a black and white version here ($119.40) and here ($132.99). Her necklace is the Andi necklace from Brooklyn Designs ($115). To get the look for less, I found this Chelsea28 blouse ($52.26) I also loved her tote and couldn’t find a similar striped bag, but I did find this Marc Fisher bag ($65.99) that has the grey and white look: Andi also wore Brooklyn Designs’ Infinity Earrings ($38) on this date:
In the meantime, the next date card arrives and it’s a group date card for Marcus, Dylan, Chris, Cody, Marquel, JJ, Nick, Patrick and Andrew. It’s blank and says “Love, Andi.” Some drama unfolds in the house, when Marquel finds out that Andrew made a racial comment during one of the early rose ceremonies.
For the evening portion of her date with Josh, Andi wears a V-Neck Halter Dress from Gucci. They have dinner at Palais Longchamp, a romantic French palace. I found a similar Laundry by Shelli Segal Knotted Jersey Cross Back Gown ($275): Andi is smitten with Josh and they finally have that serious conversation that she has been dying to have with him. Of course, she gives him the rose and they continue their evening with a private concert from Ben Fields.
On the group date, the guys have to mime…in public. Andi wears a cute French-inspired outfit with the Elvia lace top by Joie ($218), Azin turquoise earrings by Robyn Rhodes ($99), Ryan Bangle Bracelet by Melinda Maria ($98) and the Forever 21 Fancy Faux Suede Pumps ($22.99). I found a less expensive Pim + Larkin Boatneck Lace Top ($44.50). Since the Forever 21 shoes are mostly sold out, I found these Tahari Jada Pumps ($39.94) that are nearly identical: While the group is miming, the second one-on-one date card arrives for Brian and says “I’ve got the recipe for love.”
Nick is pretty miserable miming and just being on the group date. The cocktail party was “salty” so-to-speak. There was too much drama in the house and the guys pretty much ruined the evening for Andi. She looked great in an MLV Bobbi Sparkle Mini-Skirt ($154). This Pure as Snow White Sequin Mini Skirt from KamiShade ($69) is similar: I had a hard time getting a screenshot of the fabulous little booties she had on, so I hope you can see them. I liked them so much that I found these similar Steve Madden Derived Booties ($64.96): On the group date, Andi gives JJ the rose, which was interesting since he was the drama instigator. I guess his plan worked…
Brian has the last one-on-one date and it’s pretty much a commercial for The Hundred Foot Journey. Which is fine considering her date with Brian is terrible. We needed something to entertain us. I will never understand why she gave Brian the rose on this date. It was Lame with a capital L. At least Andi looked cute in her All Saints Cargo Leather Biker Jacket ($540). This Cherrie Faux Leather Biker Jacket from Topshop ($100) is similar: During the cooking portion of the date, Andi wore the sold-out Elegant Surplice Top from Forever 21. This Free People Miles Away Tank Top ($68) is similar. She accessorized with the Ombre Iolite & Arrowhead Necklace by Gold & Gray ($330), Mini Druzy Necklace by Gold & Gray ($120) , Hampton Circle ring by Brooklyn Designs ($89) and Costello ring by Brooklyn Designs ($65):
For the rose ceremony Andi wears a blue corseted dress with black embellishments. I really liked her “frozen style” hair this week. I’m not sure it went with this dress exactly, but I really liked the braid. This Wholesale Black Royal Blue Evening Dress ($177.86) is the closest match I could find.
Andi decides to cut the cocktail party and go straight to the rose ceremony as she has made up her mind and there is no changing it. During the rose ceremony you can see her Ruby Marmalade ring from Kiki Designs ($120):
She let Andrew, Patrick and Marquel go this week, which seemed about right since she hadn’t had a one-on-one with any of them and she hadn’t kissed any of them. It was pretty clear that these were easy cuts at this point.
Next week the boys are headed to Venice, Italy!
There are a few deleted scenes this week, the first is a conversation between Josh, Marquel, Nick and JJ discussing Brian’s chances of securing his rose on a one-on-one date:
In this one, Chris Harrison talks about the end of bromances:
In this clip, Cody steals Andi away for some last minute one-on-one time before the rose ceremony:
Here we see another clip of Andi receiving another letter from her secret admirer:
