As the 15 remaining bachelors arrive at DeAnna's luxurious villa hoping to win her hand, the first surprise of the season confronts the guys. For the first time in the series' history, three lucky bachelors - Jeremy, Jesse and Richard - who received the first impression roses, will live in the mansion with DeAnna this week. The remaining 12 men must live in the decidedly unglamorous bunk house down the hill. There is a mysterious group date to the Magic Castle in Los Angeles and another truly male fantasy date to Dodger Stadium to meet up with the legendary Tom Lasorda and participate in a home run derby. But after careful deliberation, DeAnna must eliminate three men, as she tries to make her fairytale come true.

DeAnna runs a singing showdown between the men, with the winner escorting her to the historic Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles for a surprise appearance by pop star Natasha Bedingfield, who serenades the couple with one of her greatest hits. Then six of the bachelors travel to the California Motor Speedway to race stock cars, with the speediest winning coveted alone time with DeAnna. The tension between the men is turned up, forcing a dramatic confrontation with an emotional DeAnna. And then, on a dramatic two-on-one date, the Bachelorette must determine which man to give a rose and which to send home, leading to an outrageous decision that proves this independent woman can make the hard choices.
