We've made it to the semifinals and we've got special guest Brandon Mills in the house to chat about his dramatic elimination and what he's been up to since leaving the show! This week, the final four couples ditch the Bachelor mansion and head out for a road trip to Vegas. Rudi and Matt take a detour to work on their connection, but things don't go quite as planned when Matt admits he hasn't truly fallen for Rudi yet. Meanwhile, Jamie and Trevor finally reveal they're falling in love with each other! All four couples are assigned iconic ballads for their performances as guest judges Arie & Lauren Luynedyk, Ashley Simpson Ross & Evan Ross, and Train's Pat Monohan decide who makes it to the finals. In the end, Natasha and Ryan's risky rendition of Ed Sheeran and Beyoncés 'Perfect' falls flat and get them sent home.

The competition is really starting to heat up - but is the love?  Chris Harrison isn't so sure, so he sends six of our singles out on dates with a twist - they're not going with their current partner but someone new, to explore and test out new possible relationships.  Rudi has a picnic with Chris.  Jamie goes on a spa day with Ryan.  But most importantly Julia heads out with Brandon to write and perform a song at The Roxy, where the two share a kiss.  When they come back to the mansion Julia immediately breaks things off with Sheridan who exits while Brandon tells Savanah that he had a connection with Julia but he's now all-in for her.  However, Savanah is having none of it, proclaiming that she doesn't want to be a choice and leaves the mansion, leaving Brandon and Julia a new team.  The five remaining couples get their songs for the week and end up performing in front of Bachelor Nation couple Rachel Lindsay and Bryan Abasolo, Toni Braxton and Bryan Abasolo.  In the end, the judges just weren't feeling the new pair of Brandon and Julia who are sent home.

Did you see Barb’s face? No really, did you? Because that was some of the most insane television any of us have ever witnessed. Peter proposed to Hannah Ann. And then dumped Hannah Ann. And Hannah Ann had WORDS. And then Maddie missed Peter. And then Peter and Maddie got back together. And then Peter’s Mom. She was...Peter’s mom, was...well...Peter’s mom was mad.

The women tell all, and...America wasn’t feeling it, according to twitter. 20 seconds of uninterrupted bickering exhausted America, and I”m not sure this group of women left looking better than they did when they came in. Besides Kelysey and Victoria F, who had nice moments on the couch with Chris. Hi Ashley I! We see you and your giant-ass bottle of Champagne! We can’t wait for next week, and hopefully people will chill out on the BULLYING. Thanks for tuning in to AfterBuzz TV!

Get ready folks - it’s fantasy suite time!  Hannah Anne is up first - jet skiis, beach and fantasy suite activated.  Then comes Victoria F - after a picnic at a waterfall, the fantasy suite is a go.  But now comes the hard part - what will Madison, who is saving herself for marriage and already told Peter she cannot continue if he sleeps with the other girls, do?  The two climb to the top of the highest building in Australia and have an amazing day, but at dinner the truth comes out - Peter HAS been intimate. After a ton of talking and crying, Madison walks away.

All 4 hometowns were wild on tonight’s incredible episode of The Bachelor! Hannah Ann and Peter threw wood, and before your mind jumps into the gutter, we’re talking about AXES people. Peter got on that final four court in Auburn with Madison, and she may be ready to drop the secret virgin bomb! We didn’t get champagne with Kelsey, but we did get some nice Iowa-foot-wine, and a heartbreaking goodbye. But then there was Victoria. And Merrisa. And the classic “just be careful” line led to an abandoned hometown. Do you think Peter wants easy, or crazy?

Poetically, we had three one-on-ones and one three-on-one.Madison opened up about the importance of her faith, and Peter accepted her (after an excruciatingly long pause). Natasha had a well...decent one-on-one but we said goodbye! Kelsie opened up about an surprisingly turbulent history with her famil. And finally, that three-on-one. Kelley called her competitors children, but the children left with the crown. Do you agree with her take? Let us know!
