The

eight remaining teams bounce on a bamboo trampoline, learn how to DJ

scratch, and practice their bartending skills in Kuala Lumpur, the

capital of Malaysia. Quite a few things get broken on this leg—skin,

glasses, and beats—as the teams continue on to the pit stop at the

Batu Caves, where one team gets an unexpected surprise after

motivating another team through a difficult task.

After

visiting with Juan Pablo's family in St. Lucia, Clare and Nikki each

have their final date with Juan Pablo before the final rose ceremony.

Laughs, tears, and anxiety are the order of the day for both ladies

as they prepare to take that final walk to the grotto. After the

selection is revealed, Clare, Nikki, and Juan Pablo address the

studio audience and relate their experiences and reveal what the

future holds...or do they?

The

nine remaining teams travel to Malaysian Borneo, where they rappel

down a waterfall, build a raft, and choose between delivering food

to a village or hunting stuffed birds with traditional blowdarts. One

rappeller accidentally reveals more than just her courage, while

limited taxi service puts one team in dire straits. As a rainstorm

threatens the pit stop, the number of teams is reduced to eight.

Seventeen

of the eliminated ladies return for a final opportunity to share

their experiences, their disappointments, and their lessons learned

to the viewing public...and to Juan Pablo himself. Sharleen,

Renee, and Andi each take their turn in the Hot Seat. Juan Pablo

addresses the women one last time, and most of the ladies reveal

their allegiances to Team Nikki or Team Clare.

The

ten teams travel to a school to watch morning exercises, assemble an

electronic car, and choose between playing the Chinese version of

hackysack or applying heated cups to the skin to remove body toxins.

A forgotten backpack creates tension and threatens the future of one

of the teams. After setting a new record for simultaneous arrivals at

the pit stop, the number of teams is reduced to nine.

The

three remaining women travel to St. Lucia for their “Fantasy Suite”

dates. After spending their days on a yacht, under a waterfall, and

riding on horseback, the women must decide whether or not to use

their respective keys. To quote the song title, “Two out of three

ain't bad.” One of the women opts out, and the anticlimactic rose ceremony sees the two remaining

women receiving their respective roses.

We

visit the hometowns of the four remaining bachelorettes. We finally

get to see the women in their natural habitat, interacting with their

families. Both Liz and Neil must acknowledge the damaging effects of

“The Mansion”. After riding a mechanical bull, shooting a

bullseye, attending his first Little League game, and throwing

memorial rocks in a pond, “El Bachelòr” reduces the field to

three.

After

meeting the 11 teams competing for the $1,000,000 prize, the teams

from the starting line at UCLA to Guangzhou, China. Neil discusses the changes to the show's format since he last watched, and Liz has become a fan again after one episode. The teams must

find one of three wedding dress shops in the garment district, take a

ride on the highest ferris wheel in the world, and perform an

acrobatic routine 300 feet above the ground. The first pit stop is

the Guangzhou Opera House, where the first team is eliminated.

In

Miami, the dates include a yacht trip at sunset, a dance recital, and

a private island getaway. Neil's prediction from the pre-show special

comes true, and Liz explains the selection process for “The

Bachelorette”. Conflict between the remaining women escalates as an

(un)expected departure and a rose ceremony elimination reduces the

field to four.

In

New Zealand, the dates include a trip through “The Squeeze”,

rolling down hills in “zorbs”, and just kicking it at the condo.

Liz and Neil agree on who should get the proposal, and Neil gives Liz

a lesson on cycling terminology. A surprise elimination before the

ceremony and being one rose short at the ceremony reduces the field

to six.
