Previously on Bachelor Mansion Takeover.

So for this challenge, you're renovating the Rose Room.

This is like... I think you're making the wrong decision with the mural.

If this flops, then you can send me home. I feel like Jill and Alicia now

just probably never even going to want to talk to each other.

If I need help later on... Yeah, I got you.

I've always tried to save you. If anyone was like, hey, I want to vote for

Brennan, I'd be like, I don't think that's the right choice.

You guys have better backstab me after this.

First thing I noticed is the mural.

Whose decision was that?

I love it. Thank you. The candles fell a little flat.

And looking at the built -in, I'm just not a big fan. The winning team is...

Living Space.

At least Dean's got my back. I don't really care enough about Noah.

The bottom three this week, Brendan, Noah, and Tammy.

Yesterday, you all competed for the golden screwdriver. And the winner...

is Brendan.

You're obviously safe tonight, but you're also going to be choosing between

Tammy and Noah on who will be going home. I don't know if I want the power

the golden screwdriver.

Sorry, guys.

So, Brendan.

You're going to be choosing between Tammy and Noah on who will be going

Damn it.

I'm sorry, guys.

I freaking had so much fun with you two doing this challenge, but...

Tammy, I'm going to have to let you go. I'm sorry.

Wow.

I'm sorry.

Tammy, I'm really sorry.

You can take a moment and say your goodbyes.

I'm going to miss you.

At the end of the day, I've known Noah longer.

Noah's my buddy.

Did I make the right decision?

Is this going to come back to bite me? I don't know.

Bye, Tammy.

Bye.

We're proud of you.

I just got blindsided by Brendan.

I feel betrayed, but I get it. I really think that I had a good shot at winning

this competition, and that's clearly why they voted me out, because I'm a

threat. I feel like I always get the short end of the stick on things, and

whether that's I'm too strong of a player or I don't speak up enough, I

didn't get a chance to showcase what I can do here because I can do a lot.

They have not seen what I can do.

Brandon, how did it feel being in the bottom? Yeah, it didn't feel good at

I love Tammy and I love Noah, so just being in the position I was was not fun

for me. I know that was a really tough decision to have to make.

Noah. Being in the bottom three, that couldn't have sat easy.

No, not great. Obviously, I'm grateful for Brendan.

Dean's a piece of trash.

And I feel like I deserve to be here.

The truth is, I like parts of Dean. I do.

I think Dean, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep down, is a great guy.

But right now, Dean is my number one nemesis because he's voting me out. So

let's get Dean out of here.

The competition's not slowing down.

In fact, your next challenge starts right now.

Your challenge now takes place in the pool area.

Really one of the most recognizable backdrop in all of Bachelor history.

Everyone else take your shirts off now.

There are going to be two levels for you all to choose from. There's the upper

level where you're tasked with creating a poolside oasis.

And there's a lower level where we would just love for you to create a wellness

retreat.

Ooh, that's cool. Those are good challenges.

When I was the Golden Bachelorette.

Only one guy can go on a date with you most times, so everybody else back at

mansion is looking for things to do. So there is some downtime here, and a place

to exercise or to hang out is really important, plus it passes the time. This

has been very needed for many bachelor seasons.

So, Brendan and Noah, because you were the bottom two remaining contestants,

are now our team captains this week. I'm a team captain now,

so...

That makes me feel good. I finally have the power and a sense, and hopefully my

fate is in my hands here.

Things, though, we're going to work a little bit differently this time around.

Instead of picking players for your own teams, each captain is going to be

choosing players for the other team.

This is a reverse draft.

You guys are sick and twisted, Jesse.

Oh, Lord.

But first, we've got to decide who's going to make this week's first big

decision. So I thought we'd just do this with a coin flip.

Nice.

This coin has two names on it.

It's our two captains, Brendan and Noah.

All right, baby boy.

I'm going to flip the coin.

Whichever name it lands on is going to pick their space first.

Are you ready?

Brandon, which space would you like to be in charge of designing?

I don't think I've even seen the lower level.

I'm going to go with poolside oasis.

Which means, Noah, wellness retreat.

I'm a wellness guy. It's right where I need to be.

Feels like a good fit for you, I have to be honest.

But now we've got to find out who's on whose teams.

One wrong move, and you could totally be setting yourself up for failure.

Noah. is going to get the first pick for the other team.

First player.

I get to choose the person I least want to be with.

want to look at it all right it's just what i heard i don't hear don't give me

you're picking the first team member on brendan's team this is pretty easy for

me uh the guy is the lowest skill here um he has the most outlandish ideas i

don't want him on my team i would love for dean to not to just to go to To

leave, actually.

So either Dean leave or go to the other team is great with me. You traitor.

I'm kind of sad because I thought it was really funny to be on Noah's team for

this, but unfortunately that's not going to be the case.

Brennan, now you get to return the favor. Who would you like to be on

side?

I'm going to go with Courtney.

That's a win for me. I'm right here.

Yeah, thank you. Noah, you're up next.

Let's go with Jill.

I'm like, Brendan's not the natural born leader.

Like, honestly. I'm going to give Brendan a really menial task.

I'm going to really... Brendan's a really important piece. Like, you really

to nail it.

It's going to be something stupid. Just to get him out of my hair.

Are you disappointed?

No.

Oh, that was cool. Wow.

All right, Brendan.

What's it going to be?

I'm going to go with Joan for Noah.

So, Noah has Courtney and Joan.

And Brendan right now has Dean and Jill. That means Alicia and Sam are the only

two people remaining. Noah, I think it's your pick.

Yeah, I like Alicia and Joan on a team together.

And I think me and the ladies are just going to sweep this wellness retreat. So

let's get Sam over there and Alicia over here.

Well,

looks like I'm in charge. I think we actually have a really well -rounded

Jill's the brains of the operation.

Dean's moving furniture.

Sam's building.

Brendan, as long as he's just staying away, I think I can work with this. I

totally work with this. How are we all feeling about our new teams?

Really good. I think this is a great team. I haven't worked with Noah yet,

I've worked with these two. I know this is great. I think Noah's super creative

and a great team player, and he hates Dean, so...

He's a personal vengeance to win. He really wants to win. So I'm good.

Sam, how are you feeling about your squad?

I feel solid.

You know, I feel a little jaded right now from Noah, but I think we're going

wipe the floor with... Be careful who you surround yourself with. It's not

You're digging your own grave over there, Noah.

Each team will have only three days to finish this challenge.

At the end, two people will be eliminated.

You got to remember, we've got less than two weeks before the next season of The

Bachelorette moves into this mansion.

So time's running out. See you all very soon.

Good luck.

I think we should think less about, like, the idea of...

spa wellness and more like tranquility wellness. And like this is your getaway

space. It's a tough experience being on The Bachelor. It's not easy. There's a

lot of emotions and a lot of highs and lows. So to be able to provide some kind

of a safe place or retreat that...

helps bring people back down to earth, gives them a little bit of solace and

peace. It's super cool. And I think we're all really excited for the

that it brings.

Everybody gets up in the morning and wants to exercise a little bit. We want

move around. We need an area like dedicated for exercise.

I'm looking forward to this team. I think we have a very good eye.

Joan and Alicia work well together. I've seen that. They have good style. I

think with the sunsets as well, I mean, there's so much that you can do.

Haven't talked to Courtney a whole lot, but I've seen a few instances where I'm

like, okay, girl knows her stuff.

Like yoga mats, obviously.

I think just having like some yoga mats rolled up in a basket isn't going to be

it. We really have to make it look very intentional.

I think that Noah's underestimating how crazy that's going to be. Between

Courtney, Alicia, and Joan. Yeah. Yeah.

It was short -lived where he was like, thank you, man, appreciate it.

And then five minutes later, he's like, yeah, I'm going to kill all you guys.

And the alliance the boys had, you know, it's gone now.

He gave you a good team, though.

Yeah, yeah. I'm curious to see how that dynamic will go out there.

We'll see what happens.

Okay. What do you think we got underneath this?

Wait, wasn't this seating before in like previous seasons?

Yeah, I've never seen it like this.

I remember there being like a big lounging couch thing there. Yeah.

looks awful.

I've never seen that grill top ever in my life.

Should we get up the plywood and see what's under there? See what lurks

Let's do it. Let's do it.

See what's under the hood?

Hey!

That's our country strength right there.

Whoa.

Yeah, this is pretty sweet. This is a nice little hidden gem we got down here.

want the countertop gone. I want the grill gone.

We're gonna have to start with some demo in the kitchen area.

No!

No, Brenda!

That was so graceful.

We're removing granite, removing the grill, and getting it free of all the

There's some weird smells in there. There was a nest.

Wildlife has taken ownership of the kitchen area, but we're taking it back

we're gonna make it beautiful.

We all came in with our ideas.

Let's get it out there with the selection.

We know what's happening in here.

Our team has the challenge of making this like a wellness retreat.

I remember when I was a contestant on the Golden Bachelor, we would get up in

the morning and we would try to find something to exercise. And it's just,

the main thing. Like you didn't have yoga mats. You didn't have any weights.

When I was the Golden Bachelorette, the men that were staying in here bought a

gym and had it delivered to the house so they could work out. We're going to

have an outside gym. This has been a need for a really, really, really long

time. Do you guys like this for the top of the bar? Yeah. I kind of like this

one. You like the white?

Yeah, it's kind of dark.

Do you think that white looks blue, though?

I like mocha with that. So do these? Yep.

For the juice bar, we were able to choose this really cool granite. It has

a beautiful flow to it. It looks kind of like a river.

You need a bench. We do need a bench. You need a bench. Really?

I don't think all that can fit up here. I think it's kind of an eye sore.

It'll fit. But we can put it away in the corner.

We've got a gold shower head, which I kind of like because of the goldens or

black.

Let's decide on tile and then decide on hardware. How much time do we have?

Really?

Okay. I think I'm going to go with gold.

Hey guys, can we just shower really quickly? Yeah, that's what we're doing,

right? Let's get our tiles. Do you guys prefer to tie in these together or these

together? Why do we have to select two tiles?

I think we should keep them all in play and then figure out the pattern later.

That's going to eat time.

We're going to make like a bar area.

In this section right here.

In this section up here.

So kegerator and then fridge. What do you think about the pergola color?

Well, right now? Do you want to stain it or do you want to paint? I'm not a big

fan of painting wood, but I do think. Neither am I. I'm not a fan of it

but I mean, it's rough.

Yeah. Do you think we should try to just go darker?

Yeah, I would say we go darker.

It definitely needs a facelift. The pergolas are rough.

I think rough it would tie into this color. Yeah, yeah. Face a lot better.

Yeah. Yeah, maybe we go rough it.

Also, the grill and the countertop needs to be completely redone. I like this

one right here for the face of our bar. Yeah, yeah. And then it kind of, we

could literally do whatever on the countertop. Do we want to mirror

face we put on the bar, on like where the grill is going over there, over here

as well? I think so. I think so.

You know, we could do rose grates on the grill.

Yeah. And then on top of it, we have three or four giant spaces to decorate

fireplaces, couches, tables, the whole nine yards right there.

These are cool loungers. I also really love the idea of like these umbrellas,

like something fun.

We can't forget about the dining room. We have to build the whole bar.

We'll add a little pizza oven. We have a kegerator and a mini fridge going in

there. Something that says, hey, let's have a little fun right here.

I do like the idea maybe to have like some swaying curtains or something like

that, possibly.

But then it just kind of sucks because then you're blocking the view off a

little bit. Well, I think we should have curtains so we can pull them in.

I feel like we...

Don't have, like, enough of a statement piece anywhere, though. I would like to

use that piece of wood that you guys pulled from the bunk room challenge.

Like, you remember Tyler talking about, like, how much he wishes he had it.

Right. It's cool. We should use it in some capacity.

I wonder if we could hang it, like, here.

That kind of gives me, like, Thailand hotel Four Seasons vibe. Obviously, I

a reclaimed piece.

Would love to get the yoga platform.

We'll push for it.

It's also great for bachelor, like in the future, what if somebody wants to

profess their love or say a speech? What if they want to get engaged on the

platform? I feel like it's dual use.

And our shower's going to have to be here. Yeah. And it's nice because look

all this privacy.

I mean, I feel a little exposed out here. So you want privacy, right?

We're making an outdoor shower. We're calling it the sexy shower. We're making

sexy tile wall, vibrant colors, breeze block, so you can be out in the elements

but still get a shower. For me...

And all the girls, we agree, being on The Bachelor, being on The Bachelorette,

it's very stressful.

And getting moments where you can feel like you can recharge is priceless. The

sauna is going to be here and the shower is going to be there.

We've got a sauna.

I think the way it's laid out is incredible with the glass and just

about, like, how the show works and, like, how many amazing moments can be

there and for the lead and for the contestants.

A little zen, right?

I'm just a little worried that it seems like they're going to be building a lot

and actually creating things, whereas we're just kind of using the space that

have available to us. The con of the pool oasis space is it's not like it's

going to be something wild and crazy and something the judges can't fathom.

We're going to make it look beautiful, but it's not like the wow factor that

wellness area might be. I hope we get the points for just... beautifying the

space and implementing some super functional spaces as well. Or creating

area. That was never even open before. Yeah.

Yeah. I really want some sort of lighting, bistro lighting, that kind of

even on the trees, if that's doable. But I also like think of wellness and like

going to spa day, which for me as a mom, like quiet time, I don't really get a

lot of that.

But even for working out, like even if it was just one word. I think I formed a

team of the people with the strongest.

opinions and the strongest convictions, I think I created a monster.

I think I might have gambled a little too close. It might be in over my head.

I mean, I like think very big picture. Like I was like, I would put a mural

right here if we could. But this is a mural in itself. It is. But the artwork

like the landscape on it. You know, I don't think that's, I think a little

I'm in the middle of like, what have I done?

Can I?

Bring all these pieces together, or did I just dig my own grave?

You guys, I'm going to go tinkle.

Yeah, you go for that, Courtney. You've earned it.

Please go.

Holy crap.

Actually, I feel bad because when she says things, I feel like we all go

But I'm like, I don't want to be mean and say, like, no, that's a bad idea.

I feel like she uses the mom card a lot. Like, I never get any time to be around

her. It's like, this is a really important moment.

Yeah, this is all for you. Yeah. Yeah.

She's definitely bossy, but that was crazy.

We have the opportunity to help add some greenery and put turf down on the floor

in this area.

I think the turf is going to, we're going to lose a lot of the beauty here.

Because the stone is really pretty. I vote turf.

I heard Joan under her breath. She's like, oh.

And that's the thing. I can't always agree.

That's not teamwork. It's just.

appeasing somebody so hopefully it doesn't bite me in the ass later so i

feel like covering this up with turf is the right thing to do i don't want turf

i don't like turf i think it looks cheap and i it's not what i want i think as

long as more is stoned than turf i'm happy to incorporate it just for the

green i would never see turf and luxury elevated wellness but

It seems that the best way forward is when you compromise and come together

give a little bit of this to one person and a little bit of that to the other.

Where would the turf go?

This corner here.

This corner. We would line up with the edge of this platform and die it into

the platform.

I think that's a great idea. And then all of that is stone?

All this is stone.

We can agree?

Yep. Okay, cool. Love it.

I love it.

Good? Yeah.

Everybody, I need you to stop. I need you to go put on your bathing suits and

meet me by the pool stat.

Come on, guys.

Classic TC.

Classic TC. Come on.

Pick it up. Get some pep in your step, Joan.

Let's go.

Courtney, what is that?

Get them feet moving. There we go, Noah.

Hey. Hello, hello.

What is going on out here?

It's kind of good to go out in fresh clothes every now and then, right?

Absolutely. How are we feeling?

What are we getting into?

You guys are timid. We just don't trust anybody.

That's the thing. It's been a little intense lately, so we just want to have

today. This is the Dastur Mansion.

diving contest.

Believe it or not, when I was younger, I was a lifeguard and I was responsible

for saving people's lives.

Yeah, me.

So yeah, I can swim, but Noah, he's not really much of an athlete, so it's going

to be interesting.

Here's how it works.

One at a time, we will randomly pick a scroll from the champagne bucket.

And on that scroll will be the name of the dive you will be performing.

Oh, my God.

We're going to rate you from 1 to 10. We're going to be looking for some

creativity with this. And I'm going to be judging you guys on commitment. Get

that water and own it.

And the team with the highest score will earn something big.

I think we've seen throughout this whole competition, regardless of what the

prize is, you want to win.

I want to win.

I need to stick it to those angels with my pack of devils.

This challenge could be the advantage that your team needs.

So, who's ready to make a splash?

Yeah, let's do it.

Welcome to the Bachelor Sports Network. I'm here

with my co -host, Tayshia Adams.

Right now, the athletes are getting prepared, and it's about to go down.

All right, let's get this thing started. The first person is Noah.

Noah's dive will be the loose air compressor hub.

We all saw that Dean backstabbed me and it hurt. I need to win these challenges.

I need to set myself up because I'm not nearly as safe as I thought.

All right, Noah, take your mark.

We plugged in the air compressor.

Oh, oh, the compressor's going.

And she's bringing the creativity for sure.

Oh, whoa, whoa.

Enthusiasm was through the roof. Okay, I like that.

Execution, not so much.

For that, a four.

I gave you a seven. Sorry, team. Next up in the diving competition.

Sam.

Your die will be the spinning drill bit.

Okay,

okay. The score is a seven.

Also a seven.

Next up, Joan.

The wrecking ball.

I'm doing it. I'm 62 years old. That's the reason I am here.

is to show the world that we are not ready to be retired yet, that we can do

everything that you young people can do.

Oh! Whoa!

Yeah!

Woo!

Wow!

My score for you is the first 10, baby!

You are the wrecking ball, and you proved it to everyone that you are a

be reckoned with.

You got another 10.

Dean.

The screwdriver in an electrical outlet.

I thought you did a fantastic

job shocking yourself, being shocked all the way into the pool.

Seven. Thank you, sir.

An eight.

Alicia.

Your dive is the cement mixer.

The lead up. It was the confidence.

It was it all. Girl, you got another 10.

Wow.

Fantastic. And the hips brought it. Like that?

That's a nine.

I'm feeling like on cloud nine, we're having the lead advantage now.

Brendan. Your dive is the watch me go, kick down that wall.

Tyler, can I have you stand up? Want me to stand up? Yeah, just start moving a

little bit like I'm moving. Where are you going?

Oh, my God. I've seen those moves before. Let me tell you, I was hoping to

see them again.

Brennan likes to shake it off. Yes.

Good job. I'm giving you a nine for that.

Let's go.

Let's go.

I had a little PTSD from seeing some of those moves.

Oh, my gosh.

Up next, Courtney.

The jackhammer.

This is the last dive for Team Walt's retreat.

I grew up in Arizona in a pool diving contest. I'm going to win this for us.

she's going. Oh, she's going up.

Oh, the jackhammer. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

That's a really nice temple dive.

You started out so strong. But like you said, I think you lost the plot. But for

that, I'll still give you a 5.

I give you a 6.

Wellness retreat.

Your guys' final score is 61.

Going to the last jump, Pool Oasis has a score of 45 points.

Jill, there's a chance. For the last dive of the day, we have the

Toolbox Tumble.

I am feeling the pressure. It is the difference between a couple points.

Every little thing counts, and I have to lay it all on the mat. The whole

competition is coming down to you. You, Jill, you got this.

A 16 ties, a 17 wins.

Jill, Jill, Jill, Jill, Jill, Jill. Oh, not expecting a cartwheel.

Oh, we're going to get down next.

You needed to go big or go home. Yeah. And honey, you went big.

You killed it.

And let me tell you, you tumbled right into a nine.

The tumbling was nice.

Your landing was hilarious.

Yeah, it was.

I just didn't get much toolbox.

Still give you an A.

And with that, ladies and gentlemen, the Poolside Oasis team just won.

And the Pool Oasis team won 62 to 61.

Congratulations.

You guys just won a one -of -a -kind installation by renowned botanical

designer Matthew Lang.

Let's go, baby.

But remember, it's not about advantages when it comes to winning challenges.

Relationships are just as important.

We'll see you guys very soon. Bye. Bye.

Thank you.

The shower wall is still not designed.

And we have less than two days, so I'm worried about running out of time. And

I'm nervous.

If I had one big ask, it would be to do the whole thing in there.

I think it's going to be a little too dark.

Courtney wanted to all be this kind of brownish mustard yellow, the entire

I felt like that would be way too monochromatic. It reminded me a little

the bar that was in the space that we just did, and they got dinged for it not

having enough movement and enough color.

What do you not like about this?

I just, I think it clashes.

I really wanted to do the solid, beautiful copper tile for the outdoor

but Alicia and Joan have a different vision. I think it's a little busy. I do

think in design you can have a tendency to over -decorate. Do we want to do

something a little different right up the middle, like where the shower head

going to come out? I think it will look nice. Do I love it? No.

Let's just call it.

We like it? Yep.

It's beautiful.

Hey, guys. Hi. How are you doing? Good. How are you? Matthew. Hi, Bill. Nice to

meet you.

How are you doing, man? Hi,

Matthew. I'm Dean.

Pleasure to meet you. Since we're the champions, we get to have the courtesy

having Matthew Lang, one of the world's most renowned flower artists, come and

decorate some of the space for us.

And it's actually...

Perfect for us, too, because we have this whole big wall that we weren't

sure what we were going to do with. And now we don't even really have to worry

about it because Matthew Lang is going to have to take care of it for us. We

going to do the arches over here. And I thought, what about doing

bougainvilleas? That's what this is? Yeah. Okay. So what we want to do is we

want to make it look like it's been here forever.

And these are real vines that we cure and cut down. Whoa.

They're wisteria vines. So the two together, it'll look like live

bougainvilleas. That's going to be beautiful.

I was thinking of mimicking these. arches but then we can lightly go

those waterfalls oh yeah and the great thing is that this is going to last up

10 years this is huge this is nice like like six people could eat at

least this is really good the view is pretty the space inside here is amazing

joan is an alliance for me right now and someone who i really trust in this game

so i think moving forward every step we take is going to be

very important. And I'm moving with strategy at this point. We know if we

win, it's us going home.

If it's two people, it's us. If it's one person, I think it's me. And then I

think you're shortly behind.

Well, I think it's me and you're shortly behind.

Whichever way that toss -off is, it's us out first for the women. If we want to

be here, we need to win every challenge from now on because we will be gone.

And that team, Dean's going to vote against me and you.

Jill's going to vote against me and you.

Brendan has a reason to vote against me and you. I just put his name in.

Absolutely. Sam's the only one. He's outweighed. Numbers outweighed.

We have to win.

We have.

I have to be in control of sending somebody home on that team, and I want

be Dean or Jill.

Time to get in the water. Let's do it.

We're going to put these one in at a time. The goal is to start covering up

bracket. This is the best part.

Honestly, I'm so happy. I really couldn't have asked for a better prize

really elevate the pool area space.

I think it's going to look beautiful.

I wonder if we'll have any lights on the shower at night.

I'm thinking they're not going to want people on the shower at night, or maybe

they do. Well, they add production lights, don't they?

They'll bring in a stand light.

I don't want any lights.

Is there any artwork that we could have you do? I'm thinking Breathe.

It's going to look like this, and we can put it somewhere, those little touches.

I think a quote or a saying is nice, but I think those singular words, I don't

like. I think it's tacky.

How about when I'm trying to say something, it's like, it's this and

like, we're on a time crunch. Like, this is getting frustrating to me. Or it's

like, so whatever I do, I can't win. I give my opinion because I feel like in

this, it's just like democracy.

And it's not personal, though.

I don't deal with negativity very well and toxicity.

And there are definitely people here that throw off a lot of stress.

I don't want drama. I don't like the side chatter, feeling like it's kind of

mean girly.

Yesterday, I felt like there was a lot of side chatter, which it's like I went

through. Really? On my season with 25 girls. Yeah, who was that?

Just you guys kind of like, you know, and I can read people really well. It

all design. I know that if we lose this, I'm going home.

So it's very personal right now. And that's also why I am on edge because I

have.

zero doubt that if we lose this challenge like i am going home i've been

by jill on paradise and after paradise and i never even met her so yeah i don't

trust that she's not going to send me home the second she has a chance and

like an absolute baby smiling when she does it the people that you trust in

house you cannot trust i think it's a huge advantage to have this

And I'm happy that we won it.

Thanks, Jill.

She threw your name in verbally when we were all talking about who to vote. We

had 10 minutes to deliberate.

That surprises me.

That was a scene and Jill both said my name first.

No, Jill said Courtney's name before yours.

Love, Courtney.

I know.

Alicia chose Noah and Jill chose Tammy, so I should be able to choose the third

person. Okay, that's fair.

So, Courtney.

Okay. Okay.

Courtney's going to keep you or I to you for a period.

Absolutely. I don't know. Regardless, that's how it panned out, and I don't

trust any of them whatsoever. And I think the girls, we need to stick

I'm going to go look at what's going on over here just to kind of get eyes on

it.

So today I actually found out some bad news. I've got real life problems back

home. Don't want to talk too much about it.

Building helps me get my mind off it. You know, I'll work all day.

I can stay busy to where I don't have to think about this as much.

I still want to be positive and I still want to, you know, do everything to the

best of my ability. But it's, you know, it's a thought that's lurking in my mind

this entire time that's competing with what I'm doing here.

And it's added an element that truthfully has made this a whole lot

Let's see if this door fits.

Oh, like a door.

Hey, Mitch.

Hey, Courtney.

How's it going?

Good. How are you?

I know you're really busy, but I've been really wanting feast for life. I think

for me, the hard part is like when I say something, it's just immediately shot

down. But I'm getting better at finding my voice. So if you could pull some

strings or... I will try my best. Really? Okay. Yeah, I can't super

anything, but I will try. I went around my team. They have no clue that they're

going up, and I can't wait to see the look on their faces. It feels kind of

that it's going to really ruffle some feathers.

This is pretty cool, huh? So this came from the ceiling of the girls' room. And

Tyler really was like, where is that piece? It's such an iconic piece. And I

think that this is a perfect opportunity to reuse some of the materials that we

already have. Yeah. That's some character.

I think the scuffs on it tell a story, and it shows its age.

And with a piece of art like that, I don't think you want to modernize it at

all. So we're not trying to do a whole lot to it. Maybe just...

bring it back to life a little bit with getting the dust off and maybe putting a

little conditioner on it.

How do we feel about the tile? I really like it.

I think it looks great. I thought we might have an issue with our design of

but... No, I think the design looks really cool. It's contemporary with the

stripes, and I think the colors go with what our theme is

and with the whole environment.

have to win this challenge for so many reasons but bottom line is i'm going

if i don't and i'm not ignorant to that so i'm going to do everything in my

power to make sure that what we present to the judges is as close to what i feel

proud of in interior design all right well it's true been kind of a tough day

for you for what how many alliances things have performed oh you feel on the

outs right now like with your team It's like bodies coming around.

Like lying about alliances or lying about what you guys are doing?

They're plotting against me. Really?

That can't feel very good. It doesn't feel good. Wait, they're making lies

against you?

What? Do they already think they're going to lose? They're trying to form my

opinions on me.

They're trying to get me out.

What's making me nervous is how much the unwellness retreat hates me.

For no reason. But I know.

They're going to send me home if they win. So that sucks.

Let's just hope they don't win.

Alicia saved Joan. I saved you. Last person left was Tammy.

And that's not my fault.

But it was very dramatic. And, like, she voted for you. Like, she threw your

name in first.

Who? Alicia.

About me? She said that you threw my name in first.

I did not. That did not happen. Dean.

Did I throw Courtney's name out first?

What, in the deliberation? Yeah.

No, no.

I saved you.

I saved you. I saved you.

I don't know who to trust.

Yeah.

Unfortunately. And that sucks. And that's why I'm a little sad.

Because, like I said, I wanted this to be a little bit more positive.

It's a lot.

It's a lot to read the room all day.

I was being like, you know, Joan and Alicia are really talented. Whatever.

You! I actually hate your ideas, and I always have!

Uh -oh.

It just fits. That's tight.

I think it's sweet.

I'm also worried that if it's hanging, then, like, it will come apart.

That's why I'm interested in reinforcing the back. Yeah, I think we should

reinforce the back.

We could paint losers on the back of it, too, so every time they walk by, that

could be the thing.

These are nice.

These are really nice.

We have, like, a ton of weight, so I want to pump you up.

Do you think this is everything?

We're missing a 50.

Where would a random 50 be?

Oh, no, we should hide it somewhere on their thing, like in the sauna or

something.

We stole a weight, and we hid it on their own property.

Is it one of those things that's just in plain sight, and I'm dumb?

All right, should we go sit down? Yeah, let's take a break. Yeah, absolutely.

Which one of you punks took my 50 -pound weight? Nobody's got it. Where is it,

dude? I'm going to steal things way more valuable if I don't get my 50 -pound

weight back. Courtney was the one moving all that stuff, I thought.

Brandon, go out. Go out. Make sure he doesn't steal anything from us. He's

stealing the freaking... Hey,

baby boy!

I'll take the whole tree down.

I'll tell you. I swear to God. They said we can have this instead.

No, we did not. No, no, no. Wait, this is from our ceiling.

Wait,

who is getting this?

I don't know about that.

Yeah,

I'm not cool with them keeping that to you.

What? The majority of the girls who won that piece from the roof on the bunk

challenge are on our team. I think it's a great idea that they already claimed.

I don't think there's any way that we can take it, unfortunately.

It's probably not what you want to hear.

Thank you, Brendan, for, you know, holding on the fort out there. I

that piece slip from us. Brendan said at least she was pretty pissed over it.

Oops.

Joan, we have a problem.

What's the problem? Remember that piece from the ceiling in the bunk room?

That Jill wanted to keep up and I wanted to take down and we took down. Yeah.

They're using it. Who offered them that?

Jill said, well, Jill just claimed it.

Did she just claim stuff from around the mansion that you feel like could?

Okay, let's go find something.

Apparently you can.

We were told we can't use it. We were told the owner wants to keep it. Did you

hear that?

They did not say that. All they said was the owner wants to keep it. No, so I

think the problem was I said, maybe we can cut it in half.

Yeah. And use it for something. I don't remember what it was. And they said, no,

he wants to keep it in one piece.

The angels have drama. I mean, I am dab smack in the middle. And I had to try

really hard not to get too involved with that. Right now, my focus is elsewhere.

When you have bigger things going on, it really puts everything else into

perspective.

My interpretation is we can't use it. Can we use it as a table?

And they say no, the owner wants to use it. I think you're wrong.

Why can't we talk?

She needs to go.

It sucks.

To be working in an environment, honestly, where so much emotion is

because I try to leave my emotion at the door when I show up for work. And

that's kind of how I'm treating this.

Design is about solving problems, not creating them.

And I think at this point, having Courtney on our team is creating

It was so good.

I love it. You guys did such a good job.

Thank you. So proud of you. Thank you. This morning, we are putting the

finishing touches on the poolside oasis.

And then later today, we have judging. I want to alternate the...

The umbrellas, we've got to figure out the overall layout.

I think we should flank. You could do two yellow in the middle, two green on

outside. We've got to obviously figure that out whenever. No, I think we should

alternate. Okay, I think we should. I think that's a horrible idea and we're

going to lose because of it.

I think we alternate.

Okay. It's looking good.

Wow. That turned out so amazing.

I had no idea we were doing those lights.

But yeah, we have lights hung and I don't like them, but it is what it is.

This turns out really good.

Yeah, this is great.

I mean, I think Courtney going behind the team's back, it's a bold move. I

the lights are a great call.

I don't think it's great for the team dynamic.

We have a lot to do.

The curtains aren't hung.

We haven't arranged our furniture.

We're going to have to hustle. We're going to have to divide and conquer, I

think. I'm trying to hold the team together. I do think we still have a

to win, but I don't think we have a chance to get through everything without

butting heads the entire way.

I'm kind of over this right now. Me too. I'm ready. I'm ready to be done. It's

like you need me. I don't need you.

My favorite part of the day.

This challenge will determine who is like the reigning champion, Alicia or

I'm actually kind of good.

I haven't lost yet.

So I think I'll be here for another week.

Let me think of this one. I really love it.

Let me see. I think it's good. I think it adds a lot to the space.

We haven't talked about the lights yet. I hope you guys like them. I love them.

I wish we talked about them, but it is what it is.

What do we need to get into?

Less chatty, more worky. We're spending so much time arguing and disagreeing

that the work that...

We all agreed to do. It's getting pushed to the side.

I've done everything I can. Let's hope everyone else picks up the slack, and

maybe we can just stop fighting with each other to finish our job.

What do you think of this, Jill?

I like that.

I really like that. Oh, that looks good.

The space that we had to work with, the pool area, is a nice area, but I just

feel like we might not be doing enough. We weren't able to really build much or

get super creative with it. I like everything that we're doing.

But I'm a little concerned the judges might knock us for that.

All right, we've got 20 minutes.

That's so mean.

Five minutes.

Will you accept this rose grate? Yes, of course I will.

Time's up.

I think we're good. All right, let's get ready for judging. Let's go.

Hey. Hey.

Good to see you all.

Good to see you.

Well, I haven't died a no.

How'd everything go this week? Fantastic.

Cool, yeah.

Well, this week's challenge focused on one of the most memorable backdrops in

Bachelor history, the pool.

Each team, of course, had only three days to complete this renovation.

The Poolside Oasis on the upper level and the Wellness Retreat on the lower

level. Before we see what you accomplished this week, let's bring in

judges.

Hello. Hello.

What's up?

How we doing?

Good. Good.

And joining Tayshia and Tyler tonight is someone who knows a little something

about handing out roses to Designing Homes.

Ooh.

And joining Tayshia and Tyler tonight is someone who knows something about

handing out roses to designing homes.

Please welcome former bachelorette and designer JoJo Fletcher.

JoJo, she does a lot of amazing real estate flips and all that kind of stuff.

I'm so glad she's here because I think she's going to hopefully like some of my

designs. Let's hope.

How are we doing?

JoJo knows what it takes to stand out here.

Unicorns do exist.

I think I'm worse. This is going to be my occupation.

Okay. Okay.

Think about this.

House flipping.

Yes! So I'm a real estate investor, developer.

I flip houses. That's a good game.

It makes me feel like I do love you.

JoJo, I love you too.

What? I don't know if I can find love.

I found it with you, but I found it with somebody else more.

Bring on the men.

I just want to ride next to you. Be quiet.

You're a little weird. I am. I'm goofy.

Are you? I'm goofy. Really goofy.

You're my soulmate.

I'm going to wake up every morning and choose you.

Will you marry me?

Yes.

I love you.

I love you so much.

Good to be here. Good to see you guys.

Why don't you tell everybody what it is you're going to be looking for

specifically tonight?

All right. So I'll be looking at overall design. A really good space feels

intentional. And I'll be looking for execution, the layout. Did you add

something unexpected to the pool area?

Wow factor, functionality, design, all of it. I can't wait to see.

Thank you all so much for that. So you all stay here.

We're going to head out. We're going to tour your spaces.

We'll see you back shortly.

Ooh. Oh. Wow.

Oh, wait. Look at it. Yeah. It's incredible.

Wow. I love this. This is bringing me back, y 'all.

Wait, there's actual places to lounge.

When I was here, we had, like, two benches. Yeah, same. Do you remember

this area was?

Yeah, so this used to be a spot, like, where you could kind of hang out, try

get a little makeout session.

Now, awesome outdoor grilling area. Love it. Just imagine, like, Tayshia's over

here making burgers.

Yeah. I can come swim up, get a poolside burger.

Like, this is grilling and chilling right here. They really made this place

work. Yeah. Also, check this out. I love it!

Right? You guys.

The rose detail on the grill plate?

Oh, my gosh. I was so smart as that. What do y 'all think about the tiles? I

love the color use that they did here. What is this?

It looks like it's a drawer or something.

Okay, I love that. I love...

When it just blends into the design, so I think it's very cool, too, that that's

not just a wood door or something else, that they put the tile on the front.

Attention to detail is something they did not spare.

I think they did a nice job.

Look at all this sitting space. We've got shed lounges. We've got sofas.

I love the little fireplace moment.

I think this team did a fantastic job designing with Wayfarer's furniture and

decor. Absolutely. Yeah.

Is this new?

Yeah, so this team won the advantage to get Matt Lang to come in and do

installation. I love it. This is a wow factor for me, for sure. Definitely.

Also, faux florals are so hard to pull off.

I feel like I'm in the Mediterranean.

Yeah, it gives the arches a lot of life, and I like that a lot.

Okay, I'm dying to see the dining area.

Oh, my gosh. Oh, I love that.

This is so nice.

Ooh, I like this.

Oh, you know what I actually really love? I don't know. It's stone.

Oh, no, it's not. No, but it looks so real.

This is a really great faux travertine look that I think really works here.

JoJo, I have to tell you the drama. When the women redid the primary bedroom,

this was actually hanging on the ceiling.

And in their remodel, they actually took it down. And so...

We thought it was gone.

They tricked you. And they brought it out here.

I love a recycle moment. And it also gives you a backdrop for the space. Is

a pizza oven? Let's check it out. Come, come.

Make me up a pizza.

You guys, this looks like a five -star resort, and I am more than happy to

in. I'm floored at everything.

Listen, this was, like, so bare -boned when I was here that this feels actually

so functional to me.

There's a wellness retreat on the lower level of the pool that you still need to

check out.

Stay last and take us there.

Wow.

This is what is needed right here.

Holy mackerel.

Wow. I would have never been upstairs. I would have been, Anna, you got to come

find me here, huh?

I also love that it has turf right off of it. Right.

A lot of times you can take your weights, you can go do lunges on the

side. So not everybody has to be cramped here. So I do love that they kind of

have an extension off of this. What was here before?

Nothing. Nothing at all?

Great use of space then. Guys, I'm checking this over here. Looks like

some water, there's some refreshments. You got towels.

Should we go check it out?

Got some cold brew here.

Love that. Late night.

I love the nutrition bar. I love the stone they use. So pretty. Yeah, very

pretty. I really love it. The dark wood with it is very nice.

I love the aesthetic, I will say. I think the stone that was picked out is

gorgeous. It is really pretty.

I love the texture. I love the movement. I love the organic nature of it.

To me, the stone is, like, very beautiful.

All right, guys, look how big the space is here. You're talking about a hangout.

I like this. Yeah, I love the touch of greenery here with the grass and

everything. Do you guys like the bistro lighting? I feel like lighting sometimes

gets overlooked, but it totally makes the space.

At night, this is going to be so stunning. I love it. Beautiful.

Let's check out all the spaces here. We've got stools. We've got a little

area here.

Maybe you could have your breakfast or coffee.

I like the yoga platform. I love it. There's like an actual platform for it.

This is new.

This is incredible.

An outdoor shower.

I love the tile on the shower.

This is a very nice sauna, and it's huge.

Yeah.

I know there was obviously a ton to take in here.

How tough is this decision for you?

It's going to be a hard one. It's hard for me.

Yeah, this is going to be a very close one.

I think I know who has the edge of my book. Should we go tell them?

Yeah. Okay.

Let's go.

Hello.

Hey. Hello.

Hi, guys.

What you all pulled off in just three days truly is impressive.

We're going to start with the poolside oasis.

You guys just made this a five -star resort.

The rose detail on the grill. Oh, my God, it's so fun. Lovely. So cool.

Yeah. And I also really love that you guys brought back that wooden piece from

the primary bedroom upstairs.

I thought that was such a fun use of it.

Like, little details like that were really cool. Thank you.

I didn't really find any interactive elements aside from just sitting around

relaxing. I thought y 'all did a fantastic job with the grill area.

You guys took that space, made it a place where you can swim up by the pool,

a plate of food.

I will say, though, I didn't love the tile that much.

We talked about taking risk this week.

I don't know if you guys took a risk in any space.

I think you guys did what you were expected to do with all those spaces.

The faux floral installation is so epic to me.

It's so hard to execute on faux anything.

That was exceptional.

That was a wow factor, I think. And I thought the seating was really great,

because I remember when I was here, we were laying on towels on tile, and it

not comfortable.

But to Tayshia's point, the one thing that I would have loved is, like, what

I do here besides lay out?

All right. Nice job, you four.

Thank you. Okay.

Let's move on to the wellness retreat.

Judges, what are your thoughts? Tayshia.

Hi. Can I sign up for membership?

There was so much going on, but in the best way.

I was blown away by not only did you have a gym, but you also had a yoga

platform. You also had a shower. You also had a sauna. It was really cool.

I love that you guys had faux grass.

We don't have any grass around the mansion.

The grass was a great element to add.

Every place was intentional, I thought. You know, we talked about functionality

within the space and everywhere you go, oh, there's a beach table.

Oh, that's next to the hot tub. Like, I think that could have been a date right

there. The gym with the grass turf outside was, like, multifaceted. And

just so many things y 'all did throughout the spaces that make a lot of

For me, that was a space that I never got to explore and wish I so desperately

had on my season. One thing that I will say that I loved was the string lights.

I'm a big believer in ambient lighting.

setting mood.

I don't know whose idea that was, but it was, I loved it.

It was a little, you know, drama, but I just took it upon myself to do it.

When JoJo said she loved my bistro lights, I just saw the look on Alicia's

and it just was the best feeling ever. I really, really ruffled her feathers. So

I felt so good.

I love that you took a risk there.

And I also will say the tile work on the shower was exceptional, and I love the

colors.

All right, judges, thank you so much.

After careful deliberation, the judges have reached their decision.

Congratulations.

After careful deliberation, the judges have reached their decision.

Congratulations to the wellness retreat.

Your pool design

rose above the rest this week.

I was surprised because you don't know what to expect here and having the W

means I'm safe.

Oh, my God. Such a relief.

We did butt heads throughout the entire thing, but we agreed on the vibe of the

space, and it came together.

I will say, just from doing a lot of renovations in the past, not having an

-sync team will derail you very quickly.

Okay, you four.

You're safe from elimination.

And you're all one step closer to walking away with $100 ,000.

Now comes the tough part.

As a team, you're going to have to pick one person from the losing team that you

want to save from elimination.

So you can all take a few moments, you can talk it through, and you can come

back when you've made your decision.

Thank you.

Good job, guys. Thank you.

Losing this challenge means that everyone on my team is up for

that scares me a lot. I'm scared that this might be it for me.

Damn, it feels like the villains won.

Yeah, it feels a little jaded.

Alrighty.

Does anybody have specific names of anyone coming in that you'd like to

want to save Tam.

I personally would like to save Jill.

Brendan saved me two nights ago, so that's where I'm pretty strong on.

Sam, you're safe, dude. I don't think so, man. Because I think Courtney's

to do her damn just to save you. I think she'll try to, but I don't think she's

going to be successful.

I don't know. She's got her voice.

Okay, but against what?

David and Goliath?

I just think there's no way we're going to agree, all four of us, to save Dean.

I don't think there's any way all four of us agree to save Jill.

Unfortunately, this is a reoccurring habit for me to be sitting on this end.

This is my first time.

And now Alicia has never lost it. Oh, that's right. You've never lost. That's

right.

I'm like a lamb for slaughter, dude. We've come to a conclusion.

All right.

Let's do it, guys. Great.

They're tortured.

Like,

I'm really proud that we did all agree on something.

Me too.

Welcome back, everybody.

Noah, since you were the team captain this week, I'll have you tell me which

member from the team Poolside Oasis you'd like to save from elimination.

It was obviously not an easy choice for me, specifically because these are all

my friends.

Girls kind of had an idea of somebody they'd worked with, and they felt like

he'd be a good person to save.

We ended up going with saving Sam.

Thank you.

Well, congratulations, Sam.

Appreciate it. You're safe from elimination, but because I like to keep

your toes, there's one more save to be made tonight, which means the remaining

two will be going home today.

Sam, since you were saved by the wellness retreat, you now hold the power

keep one more member from your own team safe from elimination.

Sam, come on up and join us.

What's that? Uh, 32.

Jill was a delight to work with, but Brendan and Dean, they're my boys. And

obviously we formed very good friendships, so to send either of them

extremely unfortunate.

Dude, this sucks.

I hope he picks Brendan.

Dean, I'm going to save you.

Thank you, Sam.

I do feel like Dean brings more to the table in terms of design and just

and that can be something that can help elevate me in this entire process.

There's no way I saved Sam so you can save Dean.

There's no way that's how that worked out.

I think it's written on your face. How are you feeling?

Everyone put full effort in, and it just sucks coming up short, you know? All

right. Go join your team.

I'm sorry, dude. That's awful.

Unfortunately, this means Brendan and Jill, your time in the mansion has come

an end.

Please say your goodbyes.

Love you guys.

I did that.

No, that's okay.

Aw. All right, guys.

It's nice to meet you. I feel like my own personal peace is more important

being around Alicia.

And Joan, for one more moment.

You guys are so insufferable. I'm, like, really happy to be out of here.

You'll never lie about me again?

Lie about you where?

Two Karens are getting rewarded right now. Damn!

But you know what?

We can walk away with our heads held high.

Yep.

All right, well, for the rest of you, you've made it through another week of

competition. Yeah. Yeah.

You got to remember, we've got less than two weeks before the next season of The

Bachelorette moves into this mansion.

So time's running out, which means your next challenge starts right now.

We're going to be renovating the mixture room, the terrace,

the kitchen.

I love these details.

I would hire him to build furniture.

Sam Cerini no more. Final impression challenge.

I wasn't trying to be sneaky. I'm not dying to work with Courtney on another

team. Go home.

Your big moment for redemption.

The second chances are the best chances.

It's not over. Not for me.

I'm sorry. Do you have animosity towards me?

Dean backstabbed a loyal friend.

You made it to the end of the competition.

The winner is...
