The Bachelorette - Episode 6 Power Rankings!

Ladies and gents. We've reached the Elite 8 of The Bachelorette. Sure it doesn't hold as much prestige as say, the NCAA tournament. But for these guys, it's literally their last shot at love before they shrivel up and turn into dust*.

So how doid everything shake out after the fifth episode? King Chase is in an "Elizabeth II type reign" here and there is little opportunity for Josh to catch up. But it won't be for a lack of trying. Andi said goodbye Marquel, Patrick and Andrew in episode 5. Chase had them in spots 7, 9, 10 while Josh had them in spots 7,8 and 10 respectively. That brings the total score after four episodes to:

• Chase - 213 points
• Josh - 198 points

Either these guys are recently escaped from prison or there is a mime convention in town.

Without further ado, here's a recap of the rules followed by our updated rankings and quick insight of ALL remaining 11 men. As a note for those readers following along at home, Chase and Josh's remaining Power 5 will be marked with an asterisk for the rest of the season so you can see where the first impression picks shake out.

The Contest: Two guys (Josh and Chase) who have no business ranking The Bachelorettecontestants rank the contestants. We predict who is safe and who is going home in the upcoming episode of The Bachelorette and provide our expert analysis.

The Rules: Josh and Chase will rank the remaining Bachelorette contestants. Points will be awarded each week based on how well Josh and Chase predict the contestants going home. For example, if Josh puts a contestant in spot 7 and Chase puts her in spot 10 and that person goes home, Josh will get 7 points and Chase will get 10.

The winner (the person with the most points) at the end of the season must purchase flowers for the winning player's mother.

The Power 5 - Josh and Chase have each chosen five contestants who they think will go the furthest this season based solely on the information provided on ABC.com in advance of the premiere. Each person's Power 5 will remain the same for the duration of the show regardless of elimination. For every Power 5 pick in the actual final 5 contestants, each player will receive 5 additional points. 

And to put your worried minds at ease, Chase wants everyone to know we are still both here for the right reasons.

*Not proven by science.

1. * Josh M., 29, a former professional baseball player from Atlanta, GA – A viewer recently pointed out to me that Josh has slightly creepy eyebrows. Weirdly disproportional. Even so, Josh is staying in the front runner position. This season is his to lose.

2. * Marcus, 25, a sports medicine manager from Dallas, TX – I've bumped Marcus up this week one spot. I personally feel he may be a bit of a sleaze, but Andi is enamored. He's not going anywhere anytime soon. Mortal Lock for hometown visits. 

3. Nick V., 33, a software sales executive from Chicago, IL – Andi has terrible taste. I don't really like Nick, but Andi is smitten. More importantly, Nick isn't making any friends on the show. Sure...I know you aren't there to be friends with 24 new bros, but come on man. 

4. * Chris, 32, a farmer from Arlington, IA – There are so many questions. And too many to keep him in the two slot. Is he too nice for her? Did he get friendzoned? What crop is his specialty? How does he like is steak cooked? The world may never know. 

5. JJ, 30, a pantsapreneur from San Francisco, CA – Some of my favorite words that start with a “J”: juxtaposition, jamboree, jack-o-lantern, joyful, juniper. All of the J's. Anyway. JJ just has an infectious personality. I hope he makes a run at hometowns, but I'm still slightly jaded & worried he isn't there for the right reasons. 

6. Brian, 27, a basketball coach from Camp Hill, PA – A man that can't cook is a red flag in my book. The show keeps hooking him up with great dates and he can’t convert. He's like Lebron in Cleveland. Total player, but won't end up with a ring. 

7. Cody, 28, a personal trainer from Chicago, IL – Seriously. This guy must have one hell of a personality off camera. I just don't see it. I don't understand why he's around, but he must be a nice dude. He needs to go home. 

8. Dylan, 26, an accountant from Boston, MA – The hair hasn't gotten any better and neither have his chances at winning The Bachelorette. 

1. JJ, 30, a pantsapreneur from San Francisco, CA –  I don’t see how this fun loving guy can actually win the whole thing (since when has the goofy, down to earth fellow ever won this show?). That said, he is safe this week. The more interesting storyline for JJ – with only 8 guys left, one of the seven losers is bound to become the next front man on The Bachelor. My money is on JJ if he doesn’t steal Andi’s heart.

2. * Josh M., 29, a former professional baseball player from Atlanta, GA – This is the guy most likely to win. And he’s probably the worst fit of all the guys left. If Andi picks him, she just wasted a lot of time being The Bachelorette. She’s said more times than once that Josh M. is “her type” She immediately follows that statement up with the statement that  “guys who are her type have been a terrible fit for her in the past.” Ummm can someone play some of her own interview sound bites back to her before she makes a huge mistake?

3. Chris, 32, a farmer from Arlington, IA – This guy is simply too nice but is he maybe kind of dumb as well. He couldn’t even articulate what the tension was between Marquel and Andrew in his one on one time with Andi during the group date. One thing we learned for certain last week – there are no mimes in Iowa. Sleep well metamfiezomaiophobiacs. Iowa is your promised land.

4. Marcus, 25, a sports medicine manager from Dallas, TX – I can’t remember a single thing about Marcus during last week’s episode but he seems to be hiding out in the middle of the pack, which is just good enough for now.

5. Nick V., 33, a software sales executive from Chicago, IL – Nick V. was a total turnoff during the mime group date. Sure it was a silly activity but he looked like such a pretentious jack-ass the whole time. Arms folded and a verbal “no I will not participate” made him look less like the oldest guy left and more like a pouty kindergartner (but even they would enjoy miming). And yet, Andi feels a real connection with him. He’s safe this week barring any secret girlfriends.

6. * Brian, 27, a basketball coach from Camp Hill, PA – Oof. This guy was an absolute disaster on his one on one date. A transcript of the cooking scene would serve as a perfect guide for what to avoid on an intimate first date. Even though he managed a rose and a kiss in the kitchen of the restaurant (ummmm, okay?) I’m calling it now – Brian has zero chance of winning.  

7. Cody, 28, a personal trainer from Chicago, IL – I hesitate putting him this low on the list this week. Sure he probably has the worst odds of anyone left of actually winning Andi’s heart but he also has a one on one date this week. And Andi seems far too nice to send anyone home on a one on one (she should have done it a couple of times already – see: Dylan). That said, if it’s going to happen, it will happen to Cody.

8. Dylan, 26, an accountant from Boston, MA – I cannot believe this guy made it to the Elite 8. He is so dull, I nearly fall asleep looking at his silly face and haircut. If he stays around after this week, I will be forced to consider the idea that Andi may be duller than we thought.
