Bachelor Power Rankings - Week 2 - "The Return of Prince Farming"

Well last week was a doozy. A three hour nearly interminable doozy that was only saved by some truly oddball contestants (who, crazy enough, are back after their insane first night showing). If you missed "The Bachelor Five" from last week (our take on the five most important moments from last week's episode), check it out here.

Can anyone tell which is the pomegranate and which is the onion? Asking for a friend...

So now we have the true task ahead of us. Both Chase and I will attempt to rank each remaining contestant (that's 22 after Week 1 if you are keeping track) based on who we think has the best chance of moving forward to next week's show. The ladies at the bottom of our list are the ones each of us think are most likely to head home. Here's our official rules:

The Rules: We will rank the remaining Bachelor contestants. Points will be awarded each week based on how well each of us predict the contestants going home. For example, if Josh puts CONTESTANT A in spot 7 and Chase puts CONTESTANT A in spot 10 and CONTESTANT A goes home, Josh will get 7 points and Chase will get 10.

The winner will be based on the player with the most points at the end of the season (this ain't golf, folks). The prize for the winner will be announced on next week's power rankings!

Administrative Note: As we mentioned in "The Bachelor Five" from last week, each of our POWER 5 choices remain in the hunt for Chris' heart. Each week, we will mark our Power 5 choices with a * so you can keep track of how well we predicted from the start.

1. *Nikki, 26, Former NFL Cheerleader, NY—Listen. Anyone that hikes Machu Picchu and then REPORTS DIRECTLY TO THE SET OF THE BACHELOR is bad ass. She seems down to earth and adventurous and just for those two things, she claims the top spot of my rankings this week. She also retweeted something I posted on Twitter this week, so bonus points for that.
2. *Kelsey, 28, Guidance Counselor, TX—Kelsey is unequivocally adorable. She seems like an old friend that you know from college that you keep up with and text regularly and she genuinely cares about your life despite the fact that she has no incentive to do so (anyone that is a college friend of mine that falls under this category and is reading this blog, thank you for that role in my life). Anyway, the widow factor is a bit of a wild card. Tough to tell if she’s is able to get past it so quickly—I know that would be a major red flag if I were in Chris’ shoes.
3. Britt, 27, Waitress, CA—I am just not on #TeamBritt. I know I’m supposed to be. I know the nation is. I know it. I get it. But I just don’t see it. I am ranking her at number 3 because I have to. Not because I want to.
4. *Jade, 28, Cosmetics Developer, CA—I was terrified that Jade was going home during the rose ceremony. In fact, I missed her name being called and had to check to make sure she stayed around. Chris seemed infatuated after the limo reveal. I think she stays around for a while.
5. Becca, 25, Chiropractic Assistant, CA—I’m ranking her highly because of Chris’ reaction when she got out of the limo, but let’s be serious, he was obsessed with all of them. She’s not going anywhere this week.
6. Ashley I., 26, Freelance Journalist, NJ—I really liked Ashley. Not a ton of camera time up front, but she definitely won the “coolest Ashley on the Bachelor” award this season
7. Samantha, 27, Fashion Designer, CA—Her biography talks a lot about family. I think if she gets some one-on-one time, she may be able to impress.
8. *Whitney, 29, Fertility Nurse, IL— Whitney seemed relatively nice—once you got past the make babies comments. She mocks herself on her twitter and says she prefers watching on mute, which is kind of hilarious. Bonus points for her being active on social media and not taking herself all too seriously.
9. Mackenzie, 21, Dental Assistant, WA – Guys. Kale is adorable. I’ve added “Kale” and “Chicory” to my short list of names for my future children. That cool, H? Good talk.
10. Tandra, 30, Executive Assistant, UT—T-AND-ra? T-AWE-ndra? Tand-ruh? T-und-ra? My goal is to find out this week.
11. Jordan, 24, Student, CO—These bios are pure gold. You know that? If I went on a dating show and was asked how to impress someone, my answer probably wouldn’t be: “Give him a sexy dance because it would turn him on and hopefully lead to more.”
12. Carly, 29, Cruise Ship Singer, TX – The Dress? The singing? I bet she sticks around for a bit—anyone that is a cruise ship singer has a ton of great stories and a personality to match it.
13. Tara, 26, Sport Fishing Enthusiast, FL—Entertaining? Resounding Yes. But will she stick around? If she was going to get kicked of soon, wouldn’t that have already happened? There has to be a reason she’s staying around. Country loves country, right?
14. *Jillian, 25, News Producer, DC—Holy biceps. What did your mother tell you about flexing on the first date?     
15. Tracy, 29, Fourth Grade Teacher, FL – I’m not really convinced this girl was on the show.
16. Alissa, 24, Flight Attendant, NJ—Ugh. The airline schtick was too much. Give her an exit row, already.
17. Amber, 29, Bartender, IL – I don’t even know you, Amber.
18. Kaitlyn, 29, Dance Instructor, BC— It wasn’t the offensive nature of her jokes that I think Chris didn’t like, but if you recall, she actually cut him off and he responded “How about I do the talking?” She’s not staying around for too long.
19. Juelia, 30, Esthetician, OR—I’m watching the Golden Globes right now and don’t really have anything insightful…so…next?
20. Trina, 33, Special Education Teacher, CA—In her ABC Profile she refers to diarrhea as “di-di”. Nope.
21. Megan, 24, Make-up Artist, TN—Seems (rightfully) Self-deprecating.
22. Ashley S., 24, Hair Stylist, NY—Oh  #OnionGirl. As a relatively new watcher of this incredible television show series, this was the most incredible thing I’ve ever seen. It harkens back to a friend of mine showing up to a bar with twigs in her outfit, proclaiming herself as the “Wise Woman of the Forest.” God bless that pomegranate. 

1. Britt, 27, Waitress, CA – After getting the (droopy) “First Impression Rose” from Chris (I mean, she was first out of the limos) as well as an unexpected FIRST NIGHT KISS, Britt is the clear front runner. But what’s up with that fake hiking and weirdly long hug?
2. *Kelsey, 28, Guidance Counselor, TX – This girl has a really sad backstory and seems genuine. She got a really favorable edit in Week 1. Perhaps too favorable? Are we looking at the next Bachelorette?
3. *Nikki, 26, Former NFL Cheerleader, NY – Nikki gave Chris the adorable heart-shaped rock straight from Peru. Can you bring rocks through customs? Maybe if you tell them you are going to be on The Bachelor? She’s not going anywhere.
4. Ashley I., 26, Freelance Journalist, NJ – When I first went through the girls before Week 1, Ashley I. was pretty middle of the pack for me. But based on the fact that she is a virgin (revealed in a preview for this week) and Chris Harrison already mentioned off the cuff that a virgin makes it to the Fantasy Suite (could there really be more than one on the show?), I think Ashley I. is safe for a long while. Just call me Sherlock Holmes for deducing the hell out of that one.
5. *Becca, 25, Chiropractic Assistant, CA - She made a strong impression out of the limo and Chris even complimented her dress (whether this was because he actually liked it or if it was because he actually liked how short it was remains to be seen). Other pluses for Becca are that she seems natural around him already and seems mature for 25. Count on her to stick around for a bit.
6. Alissa, 24, Flight Attendant, NJ – My initial look at her before Week 1 was not favorable. She ranked in the bottom third of girls. And though her extended intro was full of some of the most abysmal airline puns imaginable, she got a good edit.
7. *Jade, 28, Cosmetics Developer, CA - She was the last out of the limos but she looked STUNNING. I’m obviously biased as she is in my POWER 5 but no way Chris is “jaded” with her yet. I hope for our sake that we get to know her a little better.
8. Mackenzie, 21, Dental Assistant, WA – She got a good edit in Week 1 and a fair amount of screen time, which is why she is this high. But the girl is TWENTY-ONE and has a son named Kale (yes, like the plant). She’s safe this week but Chris will soon realize he was shucking long before Mackenzie was even in school.
9. Jillian, 25, News Producer, DC – She is RIPPED. When Chris looks at Jillian, it’s clear his mind is in the right place – girl could throw some hay bales around.
10. Samantha, 27, Fashion Designer, CA – Unmemorable in Week 1 but based on my preseason look, she ranks pretty high. Until I get more information, she is staying closer to the top than the bottom.
11. Tracy, 29, Fourth Grade Teacher, FL – Her limo exit was great (she read notes from her students) and she ranked high in my first look at this season’s contestants.
12. Amber, 29, Bartender, IL – It took three looks through the episode to actually catch her coming out of the limo but in her defense, it was likely because it was spliced together with Tara’s attention grabbing wardrobe change. The teddy bear thing is weird (she can’t live without it and she is four TWENTY-NINE) but she did call Juan Pablo a douche so I’m giving her the benefit of the doubt for now.
13. *Tandra, 30, Executive Assistant, UT - She said “screw you limo” and rode in on a motorcycle… in a floor length dress. She’s what Dane Cook might call a BAMF. Chris was impressed and so was I. Safe this week.
14. Kaitlyn, 29, Dance Instructor, BC – I thought for sure that she wouldn’t make it past Week 1 (she led out of the limo with the subtle “You can plow the f*** out of my field any day”) but Chris seems to (inexplicably) like her spunky attitude.
15. Jordan, 24, Student, CO – No read on this girl yet but right out of the limo she is doing whiskey shots with Chris. Her age will be a problem in the long run but she may have another week in her yet.
16. Whitney, 29, Fertility Nurse, IL – Ugh. Annoying baby voice Whitney made it through to Week 2 despite comparing her job as a fertility nurse to raising pigs on the farm. I don’t think she’s long for this show.
17. Megan, 24, Make-up Artist, TN – Eh. I don’t know enough about you to make an informed decision but my first impression is underwhelming.
18. Trina, 33, Special Education Teacher, CA – She was fairly unmemorable from Week 1 so I will base her low ranking on one fact: The 33 year old’s bio states that her is biggest date fear is “di-di.” Any woman that publicly abbreviates diarrhea “di-di” needs to go bye bye.
19. Juelia, 30, Esthetician, OR – Can someone tell her parents they spelled “Julia” wrong? Chris won’t get the chance to do it because this girl won’t last long enough to take him home.
20. Carly, 29, Cruise Ship Singer, TX – She seemed nice enough but the karaoke machine entrance and original song (it won’t be winning any awards) were dreadful. Does she know Iowa is landlocked?
21. Ashley S., 24, Hair Stylist, NY – This may be too low based on the fact that Chris didn’t witness the onion/pomegranate monologue (if only he knew!) but he can really only keep one Ashley around for the long haul and it ain’t you, babe. And once he finds out that she lists (the god awful Will Smith film) Seven Pounds as one of her favorites, she’s gone in 60 seconds. This is a world where actual good movies exist. Jettison dead weight immediately.
22. Tara, 26, Sport Fishing Enthusiast, FL – Tara’s first impression wasn’t bad (“Hey! I’m a fun country girl!”). Tara’s last impression wasn’t great (“I’m soooooooooooooo drunk on whiskey! You can’t get mad because you love whiskey so it cancels out. Pick me! I promise I won’t throw up on you!”).
