Episode 10

—Oh, Luke. Where would we be without your vast wisdom?

ETER’S OVERNIGHT

Fantasy Suite week brings us to Crete, Greece, and Peter is first up for an overnight. Hannah takes him for a sail, and I guess the whole affair is pretty mind-blowing because the number of OMGs (and OMG variations) that can be heard in a 10 second span is comical…

I have to imagine examples like the above are editors getting their kicks.

In the evening, Peter—I believe the last man holding out on an ILY?—finally says what’s expected of him. I enjoyed when Hannah (in her now-standard Hannah way) straight-up addressed how long it took for him to say it, which inadvertently pokes fun at the show’s strict (yet totally arbitrary) feelings timeline….

There was another good 4th wall moment when the two openly joked about where the Fantasy Suite card could have possibly come from…

Finally, I had to capture the following voiceover—just in case you mistook me for mature…

TYLER’S OVERNIGHT

Heading into her spa date with Tyler, we get a voiceover of Hannah’s that immediately stood out to me…

… as it feels to me like this sort of thought (and likely subsequent caution) is more likely to work against Tyler rather than for him.

In the evening, after Hannah tells Tyler that she wants to use their Fantasy Suite time to connect mentally rather than physically, Tyler answers perfectly…

File away the above clip for later.

The following morning, Tyler says something that struck me as so very true…

I touched on this on The Morning After, but in my humble opinion, it is WAY harder to find someone with whom you can just talk endlessly than someone you want to have sex with. I appreciate that that’s what Tyler identified as love and it absolutely makes me take him and what he claims to feel for Hannah WAY more seriously.

JED’S OVERNIGHT

Hannah meets Jed in Crete. A cat walks by as she’s describing the day to him, and this was something I had to capture for a cute tidbit about Andy. As you may know, we recently went on our own trip to Greece; in that blog post, there are several photos of Andy with random stray cats. Andy is a cat FANATIC (I didn’t know what it was for someone to be a cat person until I met him) and there is a zero percent chance he would have been able to resist following and possibly petting this kitty…

I know this is unrelated but I had to share because Andy and I were just there and him running in all directions chasing cats is still fresh in my memory.

There was a lot more to unpack with Jed’s date than I was expecting. I had anticipated Luke’s date as the big one to watch, but Jed’s was chock full of very interesting (and ripe for dissecting) conversation. First, I know I often take issue with a contestant using their time with the lead to talk about someone else, but Jed’s approach here was totally acceptable (and I would even say applaudable). Luke IS a terrifying romantic prospect—we all know that by now. It makes complete sense that, if you really did care for a person (whether or not romantically), you’d be deeply concerned about her potentially ending up with someone like him.
And remember, Jed at this point has not had to live with Luke for at least a week, possibly two. Luke’s most offensive and irritating moments—the moments Jed would have been most affected by—are in the past. And in the thick of those moments, Jed was one of the few men to have remained silent and not gotten involved in the drama. My point is, Jed has proven to possess the ability to keep his irritation to himself. To me, it stands out as genuine concern for Hannah’s well-being that Jed would finally broach the topic now. Sure, the catalyst to cause him to speak up (and anger him enough to speak up) was likely the fact that it was down to him and Luke at the last Rose Ceremony, but I personally believe this conversation came from a very sincere place.
The following mic-drop question had to be captured as a .GIF. I had the real treat of watching this episode in LA with two of my closest girlfriends (my two non-sister bridesmaids!) and we all shouted, “YES!!!!!” when Jed asked Hannah…

The thing is, Hannah’s no dummy. I’ve had my doubts for weeks now that she could see a legitimate future with Luke. However, at the same time she does seem to value some things disproportionately highly (one’s faith or Christianity) while disregarding any accompanying red flags. Up until this episode, it has seemed like she sees someone being as Christian as Luke is means he’s automatically a certain type of person, a good person. I cannot wait to hear Hannah talk about Luke on Men Tell All, to hear her hindsight thoughts on all this.
