Drama in the mansion began to mount when Brooks gets the first date card from bachelorette Desiree Hartsock. As Des and Brooks drove away in her baby blue convertible, the other guys sighed and looked bitter, letting their jealousy get the best of them.

Desiree took Brooks to a bridal salon where she tried on a wedding dress, which seemed rather extreme for a first date. Des then brought Brooks up to the Hollywood sign. Still dressed as a bride and groom, they enjoy a picnic and make out to some seriously dramatic music.

On the group date, another guy joined the entourage. Soulja Boy helped Des and her men make a rap video called "Right Reasons,"

The boys each attempted to rap a verse to win a solo, and all of them were awful in the most entertaining way. Evil Ben - this season's Tierra LiCausi - thinks he is the next Tupac, while Brandon nearly exposed his man parts in a revealing outfit.

While Zak W shows his non-stripper side by giving Desiree a diary, the other guys sit around discussing how to get alone time with Des, and some weird butterfly murder metaphors are thrown around. Evil Ben further manipulates Des and he manages to steal a kiss. Mikey T calls Ben out for pulling a robbery and tells him he is fake, and of course Ben being fake pretends to be nice.

Des and Bryden's date was normal in comparison to the first part of the show. They bought snacks for a roadtrip and went to Neptune's Net and the beach. Then they went to a private spa for a date under a tree, and he tells her a sob story about nearly dying while he was in the army. After an endless awkward silence, Des actually has to ask Bryden to kiss her. Yikes.

At the rose ceremony, the boys are bitter because Ben stole away Desiree when he already had a rose. Some creep called Brian tells Des he was last dating someone a couple months ago before Chris Harrison finally makes an appearance to begin the rose ceremony, and eventually, Will, Robert and Nick are sent home.
