Lets go back to a simpler time, rose lovers.

A time when you could go to the grocery store without wearing a mask and gloves.

A time when something called two-factor authentication did not exist.

Its a perfect opportunity to see how physical it could get, she says.

But first, its time to play tourist!

(Oh, wait Amanda is a tourist.

ABC

Okay, time for the Mystery Envelope!

And guess what, rose love?

Do I need to tell you that Amanda is all for it?

she says with a giggle.

We practically ran out of that restaurant toward the hotel, admits Alex.

Thank the Lord I was first, she adds.

Fine, Alex, but friendly reminder: Two is not a bunch its a couple.

Will she be able to put her insecurities aside and Open UpTM in time?

And some of the things you may want to do, its just not going to happen.

The Bachelor pulls out the card right after Shannon tells him she doesnt like to kiss in public.

Impeccable timing, sir!

What are your thoughts?

he asks Shannon, after she reads the invite to the shows deluxe chalet.

Its obvious that all three of us are going to get that same envelope with the same proposition inside.

It ruined almost the [whole] day!

Anyway, Shannon crosses her arms and walks stiffly to the deluxe chalet with Alex.

Im not too happy, she tells him.

The Bachelor kicks the cameras out so he and his date can talk in semi-private.

They start their outing with a helicopter tour (of course) of the island.

Its so beautiful, Alex starts vomiting.

she tells him, as they part ways to get changed for the beach.

Did Alex just tell Trista shes the winner?

It may be what he wants, but Trista is quote-unquote not there yet.

Im in like, she says.

Im not in love.

she asks in her baby voice.

(Probably not tonight, but still, Im sure she appreciated the offer.)

The next day, Alex feels well enough to join Trista for an outdoor couples massage on the beach.

[It] probably wouldnt make them too happy to hear, either.

So whos it going to be?

Shannon, like take a few moments and say your goodbyes.

OMG, rose lovers, its the first appearance of the Bye-Bye Bench!

Shannon then extends her hand and offers Alex a formal goodbye handshake.

Im just curious why?

What can Alex say?

Shes amazing, but theyre two different people and they would struggle too much in a relationship.

Okay, says Shannon.

This time, she makes it all the way to the limo.

Congrats to the final two!

Sorry, Im getting ahead of myself.

Next week, rose lovers, Ill recap the very firstWomen Tell Allspecial.

Join me… if you dare.
