Bachelor Power Rankings - Week 7 PART 2 - "The Return of Prince Farming"

We said goodbye to Megan last night in Part 1 of a two night Bachelor event that culminates tonight. Chase and I both had her in spot 7 so the updated Power Rankings score is 223-220. Check below for the 4 Sentence Recap from last night's episode and updated rankings before tonight's episode!

Britt's reaction to the impromptu road trip to Arlington, Iowa.

4 Sentence Recap

Bachelor producers couldn't fill a single hour with Chris talking to Chris Harrison (dude's a bore) so they interviewed Andi (remember her?) on Chris Tells All about her break-up with Josh (she's sad - duh). After enduring that seemingly endless hour (thank goodness for Ashley S. clips!), Chris dumps Megan the Make-up Artist right off the bat (no foundation in that relationship) before the remaining 6 girls head to Iowa for the week. Jade and Whitney get one-on-one dates and do fun Iowa things like going to a high school football game (score!), making out in a high school hallway (score!), taking pictures in the streets of Des Moines (dream come true!) and staring at a mural that was painted just for them (Banksy alert!) and both Jade and Whitney seem destined for roses and taking Chris to their respective home towns to meet the fams. Kaitlyn, Carly and Britt head on a group ice skating date despite the fact that none of the three girls nor Chris know how to really skate nor do any of them care at all about ice skating in general (Bachelor producers were really struggling for date ideas in Iowa) and Kaitlyn gets the group date rose during a cocktail party at a storage facility (?) which causes Britt to break down to Chris (in front of Kaitlyn and Carly) about how upset she was that he is dating other women at the same time (does she know what show she is on?) and therefore putting her behind them.

Power Rankings

The Rules: We will rank the remaining Bachelor contestants. Points will be awarded each week based on how well each of us predicts 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 cumulative points at the end of the season (this ain't golf, folks).

POWER 5: We will mark our Power 5 choices with a * so you can keep track of how well we predicted from the start. Chase now only has 2 in play (losing Jillian and Nikki in Week 4 and Kelsey last week). I'm also down to 2 after Tandra's exit in Week 2, Nikki's exit in Week 4 and Kelsey's exit last week.

NOTE: Chase and I do our rankings and analysis independently of one another. Any similarities in our commentary just means GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE, OKAY?

1. *Whitney, 29, Fertility Nurse, IL – Chris Harrison once said that a picture is worth a thousand words. When the entire transcribed version of your television show involves less than 1,000 words (journey, amazing, right reasons)… it makes a mural worth even more than a thousand words. Whitney has finally jumped into my top slot. Downtown Des Moines will never be the same. Whitney has the inside track to being Chris’ personal fertility nurse. If you catch my drift.
2. Becca, 25, Chiropractic Assistant, CA – There’s a chance that Becca jumps back into the top slot. She just seems normal. Very calm, normal, relaxed. She’d be good in Iowa. My worry with Becca is her age. As nice as she is, I just think she’s too young for Chris. That’s my feel right now. That said, Becca is a serious contender and is the only person remaining to give Whitney a run for her money.
3. Kaitlyn, 29, Dance Instructor, BC – Kaitlyn is safe. She has her rose. She’s not going anywhere. In my mind, if my top 4 are correct, the top 2 are your only contenders. Jade and Kaitlyn just aren’t serious contenders. Kaitlyn's safe for another week or two, but she’s not going to end up with a tape-delayed engagement ring in a few weeks.
4. *Jade, 28, Cosmetics Developer, CA – He had 30 girls that he could’ve taken to a high school football game to meet his parents. And he chose the ex-playboy model. I’m very intrigued by the teasers “Hey Chris. I modeled in playboy.” And then it appears that they proceed to Google it. Which apparently none of the Bachelor producers did. Or maybe they all did. Last night’s episode makes it look like Jade makes it to the next round. I’m taking the bait and putting her into the top 5.
5. Carly, 29, Cruise Ship Singer, TX – Carly fell on the metaphorical grenade last night. The text conversation I was having with my lovely girlfriend during Carly’s mountaintop and valley travels last night was equally hilarious. I went from loving Carly, to thinking she was catty, to thinking she was just taking one for the team. Either way, I think Carly as The Bachelorette would be equal parts hilarious and perfect. She has my vote.
6. Britt, 27, Waitress, CA – Last night during #ChrisTellsAll, did anyone else notice Chris’ face when Harrison asked about Britt? You could tell he was taken—still taken—with Britt. I don’t believe Britt makes it past next week. Nor do I think she should. Carly set up a “beautiful” explosion…and honestly, that’s what you get if you’re not forthright. Liars never win. Unless you’re on Bachelor In Paradise. In which case, yeah. Britt wins.

1. Whitney, 29, Fertility Nurse, IL – Despite saying that a day with Chris in Des Moines, Iowa was the greatest day of her life (ummm guess she’s never been to Old Mexico?!), Whitney is cementing herself as one the one to beat. If her hometown date goes well, she has a golden ticket to the finals.
2. *Becca, 25, Chiropractic Assistant, CA – She’s playing the quiet game and it’s worked so far. Chris is headed to her hometown. But after that? It’s hard to tell. My guess is that it’s straight back to Bachelor mansion for her press photo shoot for the next season of summer’s most entertaining program (The Bachelorette).
3. Kaitlyn, 29, Dance Instructor, BC – She used her one-on-one time with Chris during the group date wisely unlike one of the other girls (see: Waddell, Carly) and opened up about her fears in the relationship (weirdly, she didn’t seem upset that he’s dating 5 other girls). As a result, Chris quelled her fears with the group date rose and now they’re headed to Canada to meet Kaitlyn’s family.  
4. *Jade, 28, Cosmetics Developer, CA – The preview for tonight’s episode shows us she brings Chris home to meet the family. That’s the good news. The preview also reveals that she strips down her past (pun intended) and tells Chris about the nude modeling she did. It’s not that I think Chris will have a problem with it. It’s that I think he will have a problem with what it might do to his “good ole homeboy” image if he chooses her.  
5. Britt, 27, Waitress, CA – Last night was not good for Britt. After not getting the rose on the group date, she word vomited onto Chris about how her feelings were hurt… in front of Kaitlyn and Carly. Chris was taken aback and it’s clear that the once strong relationship is on rocky ground now. It doesn’t help that Britt really can’t see herself living in Arlington, Iowa (hey, they’ve got nice sunsets!). Goodbye #TeamBritt. I was never truly on board.
6. Carly, 29, Cruise Ship Singer, TX – Carly broke a cardinal rule of The Bachelor last night. Never use your one-on-one time with the bachelor himself to rat out another girl (in this case, Britt). She may be doing Chris a favor in the long term (she wasn’t wrong about Britt) but she’s not advancing her relationship with Chris at all by shooting the breeze about Britt’s tendency to bend the truth. Despite her sharp wit in some humorous confessionals, Carly’s relationship with Chris is in treble.
