As Colton leaves to make some effort to mediate the very fight he helped spark, we at least we get a great trying-not-to-laugh Direct-Look-Into-Camera™ of Katie’s out of the whole thing…

And alas, the episode ends there with a cliffhanger.

A wild group date kicks off with Colton showing off his sexy moves against a group of martial artists at the Hai Thai Ancient House. The women are soon learning the basic techniques, and their skills run the gamut from beast mode to struggling fighter. But when the instructors announce that the bachelorettes will pair off in vigorous competition in the name of love, the drama and action ramp up with Chris Harrison and “The Bachelor Vietnam” host Khôi Trần doing the play-by-play honors.

The powerful clashes escalate until Colton decides to take matters into his own hands.

The after-party provides its own one-two punch. One disillusioned woman has a heart-wrenching talk with Colton and has some cautionary advice for the Bachelor: Be sure these remaining ladies actually are ready to get engaged.
Colton is reminded again of what he has feared all along. He may choose someone who deep down isn’t ready to get married.

Colton’s final one-on-one date is with a seemingly shy woman who opens up

Colton needs to make a tough choice at the rose ceremony, but it comes with
another ominous warning that there are women left who are not ready for a proposal. Totally thrown, he confronts the remaining bachelorettes with the
devastating admonition he received. Who is here for marriage, and who is here for the wrong reasons? Colton will have to find out.
However, Colton’s ever-present fear about picking someone who is not ready for a proposal continues to hang over him.

There’s a New Frontrunner in Town! Sharleen Joynt on The Bachelor:
Episode 6

For all my analyses and speculation, it sometimes feels like there’s little rhyme or reason to any of the developments on this show. On one end, we waited five weeks for frontrunner and First Impression Rose recipient Hannah G to get her highly anticipated 1-on-1 date.

Yet, instead of feeling like we saw their relationship finally take leaps and bounds towards anything resembling a healthy, sustainable pairing, we were subjected almost exclusively to a montage of makeout seshes.

(The only meaningful exchange shown was about both being children of divorce, but it was far too brief.)

Conversely, we have Katie, who on the whole has had one of the more confusing and unresolved story arcs I can recall. Katie had plenty of 1-on-1 time shown during the premiere, complete with one of a select few Night One kisses.
