Watching The Bachelor inevitably causes one to question everything: Will Ben ever find love? Why on earth was Caila crying? Where exactly is Lace's tattoo? Do Olivia and Ben actually have a secret language? When will we finally get to see her chubby toes?
If I'm ever on TV AS MYSELF and say "like my tattoo says..." PLEASE DO SEND ME AWAY FOREVER

This week marked the last week of LA dates before Ben Higgins and girls head off to Vegas. Who knows what questions will arise in Sin City, but as long as the show stays in LA, one thing is for sure: we're going to give you the DL on those crazy dates.
1. Sky's the limit
Summary: On the first one-on-one date, Ben and Lauren B. (one of only two Laurens left in the running—there were originally four) take to the skies in a biplane. It's cute because she's a flight attendant. Next, in this season's second date to include a hot tub in a strange location, the two got cozy in the middle of an open field. Finally they attend a private concert featuring country band Lucy Angel, who we can confirm is a real band and not an invention of ABC.
Where to go: On the show they use SkyThrills!, a company based in Fullerton. Next, find an open field. Lucy Angel (a real band) performed in a barn at an undisclosed location.
What you'll need: A biplane (judging by the sticker prices on the website, a trip will run you around $500), a hot tub, movers (to bring your hot tub to the field) and the very real band, Lucy Angel.
2. Ball-handling skills
Summary: Ben takes 12 girls to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum for a six-on-six soccer game. Actual beautiful and talented people, Alex Morgan and Kelley O'Hara, from the women's U.S. National Soccer Team come to help coach and emphasize that everyone on this show is bumbling fool.
Where to go: The Coliseum!
What you'll need: Stars and stripes shirts (to differentiate between the two teams), a soccer ball, two goals, maybe a medical kit in case someone gets hurt.
3. "I ain't that white"
Summary: Ben takes Jubilee on a one-on-one date to a spa. She tries to eat caviar, but hates it. She loves hot dogs (get it?). They go to the pool and she calls him a white boy. He says the words, "I ain't that white." They giggle. Jubilee gets a rose.
