First Date: Alex has not had a one-on-one date this season and is starting to think his feelings for JoJo are an illusion. Perhaps “delusion” is what he was going for? James spoke eloquently to JoJo during some alone time on the group date, about their connection and his love for her.

The party included JoJo daring Robby to sneak up and down the halls wearing only his underwear, as well as James stuffing his face full of about 750 french fries – the combination of which sounds like a 10-year-old boy’s dream date. When a real-life gaucho magically convinces a horse to lay down in the grass, Alex and JoJo are invited to spoon the horse, which they do (but thankfully avoid making it a metaphor for marriage).
We’ll find out who makes the cut tonight. JoJo asked, after which Jordan admitted he doesn’t even know, since they don’t speak. What is interesting is that she will be sending home the very two guys she had saved in the last episode with those extra roses. However, she’s also had doubts about him. Alex musters some dignity and walks out.
James cried. JoJo cried. “I don’t think so”, Jordan answered. The charismatic couple flew to Mendoza where they squished grapes between their toes and tasted each other’s foot wine, at a gorgeous Argentinian winery. Alex, Jordan and Luke were chosen to be alone with JoJo, and Robby, James and Chase got the group treatment. The other guys in the house, meanwhile, are trashing his character, and not for the first time – they’re trying to make it seem like having a famous brother is a problem. “Jordan doesn’t have a relationship with his brother Aaron, but I didn’t realize that this wound was as deep as it is and so now I’m nervous”, JoJo said to Bachelorette producers in the upcoming clip. And maybe there are some bad feelings, as Jordan really wanted to become a famous National Football League player and his brother took the spot.
TBH their date almost lulled us to sleep – like that gaucho did the aforementioned horse – until Alex worked up the courage to tell JoJo that he was falling in love with her. Premature was full of it. Chad Johnson, who was eliminated earlier in “The Bachelorette” season 12, tweeted his sarcastic congratulations to his former co-star.
With this rose ceremony, the journey of these two suitors will come to an end and JoJo will proceed with the important hometown dates with Robby Hayes, Chase McNary, Luke Pell and Jordan Rodgers.
Jordan then professed his love for JoJo and she responded with a kiss.

Luke and JoJo enjoy some time outdoors complete with horseback riding and skeet shooting. “I don’t know how to do this”, she cried during the most vital round of dates yet, while trying to sift through her bunch of budding boyfriends. It is not impossible that Rodgers will be JoJo’s choice since we have reported previously that Rodgers has been the heavy favorite in the show even before it started airing on TV.
