Six still standing in Norway
Two episodes, four hours, more eliminations than you can shake a Viking’s sword at — welcome to Norway, Bachelorette fans.
During this week’s overseas trek, Rachel Lindsay proved yet again that she’s taking her televised search for a husband seriously by narrowing the man count to six.
While we knew Jonathan (a.k.a. the Tickle Monster … seriously?) and Iggy were never getting out of the friend zone, some of the eliminations were unexpected. Those include Will and Alex.
Anthony didn’t seem to be feeling it, anyway. Gone.
Josiah was visibly shocked when Rachel sent him packing.
Bickering bachelors Lee and Kenny embarked on the dreaded two-on-one date, where one contestant typically gets ditched in a remote location. This time it was Lee.
It’s pretty clear this Bachelorette would much rather be making out with dreamy Peter or rappelling down the side of a Norwegian ski jump with Bryan.
The July 3 episode is a repeat so you’ll have to wait until July 10 (City/ABC) to see what she does with the remaining half-dozen men.
PARADISE RULES
We just knew there would be a catch when they announced Bachelor in Paradise would return to the tube this summer after it was briefly cancelled due to sexual misconduct.
According to TMZ, contestants will now be limited to two drinks per hour. And TMZ also says contestants who want to have sex must get permission first.
AMERICA’S GOT TALENT
This week’s Google-it-now moment is brought to you by young Johnny Manuel, a singer who was signed to a record label as a teen but never hit it big. Until now.
Manuel’s rendition of Whitney Houston’s sweet ballad I Have Nothing was nothing short of brilliant.
