It’s another week of “The Bachelor,” which means the whole gang finally gets to travel to a beautiful (and expensive) locale.


Where could it be — Belize? Aruba? France? Barbados? New Zealand? Bali?


Lake Tahoe, Nevada. OK.


Prior Lake’s Becca Kufrin also really only makes appearances in this episode to further other plot points. For instance, the age of 22-year-old Bekah M. was finally revealed (bachelor Arie Luyendyk is 36).


Kufrin, in a conversation with the other women, said her parents were 11 years apart so it’s “no big deal.”


But this is “The Bachelor,” where producers are going to blow up this age conversation with Bekah M., despite there being two other women who are 23 years old and more women in their 20s than women in their 30s.


Moving on.


Kufrin is sent on another group date to “survive” in the wilderness.


Luyendyk said he loved the outdoors which in this group date, means “eating bugs” and “almost tricking women to drink their own urine.” Which is what happens.


The women and Luyendyk are split into three groups (it’s a big group date) and then hike across the mountains. The end goal is a hot springs bath, which sounds infinitely better than the whole drinking pee plan.


Kufrin was put in charge of the compass for her team.


“What if I’m taking us on the complete wrong way?” Kufrin said. “I wouldn’t call us the dream team at this point. We’re lost!”


And indeed they were, and arrived at the hot springs last. But still in time for champagne.


The drama that is necessary in reality television becomes apparent in this episode. Bekah M. had the tense age conversation on her one-on-one date with Luyendyk. Krystal is generally irking everyone.


Kufrin noticed it as well.


“The energy going into tonight ... I feel like it’s a more intense rose ceremony, and I think it’s to do with all the drama the past couple days,” Kufrin said. “I think we’re all kind of on edge. I don’t think anyone feels 100 percent confident.”


Fortunately for Kufrans, it’s Brittany and Caroline that get the axe during the intense rose ceremony and Kufrin stays for yet another week.


That’s not to say she wasn’t nervous.


“Sorry, I’m like a little sweaty right now,” Kufrin said.


Until week five, Kufrans.
