Viewers have already seen a catfight on this season of ABC’s “The Bachelor,” but the drama is only just beginning. Monday’s episode 3 will see several of the 18 remaining women on a wrestling group date and based on the preview, you can expect things to get a little crazy.

Group Dates

ABC has revealed Arie Luyendyk Jr. will have eight of his contestants battle it out in a wrestling arena alongside two veterans of the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling (GLOW). Reality Steve has reported the women who will go at it in the ring include Beckah M. and Maquel, Marikh and Lauren B., Tia and Bibiana, and finally, Krystal and Jacqueline. Maquel is said to have received the loudest cheers from the crowd but ultimately, the win went to Tia.

Episode 3’s second group date will have a “best in show” theme and follow Arie as he visits Los Angeles’ The Grove with seven of his women and some “lovable canines,” including his own dog, Bastian. There the contestants, Ashley L., Caroline, Jenna, Becca K., Chelsea, Brittany and Annaliese, will perform with the animals as actor Fred Willard offers his commentary.

One-On-One Date

The only contestant to secure a personal date with Arie in episode 3 will be Lauren S. The two will have what ABC is calling a “romantic” date in a Napa Valley vineyard.

Who Will Be Eliminated?

Talk about an unsuccessful date! Despite securing alone time with Arie, the “Bachelor” will reportedly send Lauren S. packing in episode 3. ABC has teased the two may not have a “bond.” Brittany Taylor will also reportedly leave the competition in episode 3 due to a medical reason.

Meanwhile, Bibiana, who predicted Arie’s winner in episode 2, is said to be the only contestant axed during the upcoming rose ceremony. While her elimination has yet to be confirmed, ABC has teased one contestant will “face off” with the “Bachelor” during a cocktail party.

Despite Kendall and Seinne not getting a date in episode 3, they will reportedly remain in the game following episode 3’s elimination.

What’s Next?

Arie’s remaining 15 women receive roses and travel to South Lake Tahoe, Nevada, for more dates.

Catch Season 22, episode 3 of “The Bachelor” when it airs Monday, Jan. 15, at 8 p.m. EST on ABC.
