Prior Lake's Becca Kufrin heads to Paris on week six of 'Bachelor'

Prior Lake American

Spoiler alert: there are spoilers for this season of "The Bachelor" in this article. Don't say you weren't warned.

Welcome back to another episode of there's no way Krystal lasts another episode.

Oh, sorry — "The Bachelor."

After pretending that the rugged outdoor hikes, concussion-inducing car derbies and bowling dates are incredible and the most fun they've ever had, the women are rewarded for their excellent acting skills with the first overseas week in Paris.

Understandably, Prior Lake's own Becca Kufrin is all in for dates in the city of light and love.

"Paris is so, so sexy," Kufrin said. "It's like, the most romantic city around. I mean, just to spend time with Arie and keep that spark burning like, this is the perfect place to do it."

Even Chris Harrison (the supposed host, whose only job is to go "ladies, Arie, this is the final rose") called it the most romantic city in the world. Most romantic? Have you been to Lake Tahoe?

Bachelor Arie Luyendyk Jr. chats with Harrison about how his life is so difficult because many beautiful women are competing for his heart and he gets to make out with as many of them as possible.

It sounds really tough.

"It's hard because I have these great dates, you know, with Becca (Kufrin) for example," Luyendyk said. "I had that amazing date and I was like, 'OK, I could see her at the end of all this.' And then I had a date with Bekah M. and I said, 'Well, these feelings are like, so strong, I can't negate them.' And then with Tia's date, I could see our lives together."

Instead of three dates in Paris, the women are given a bit of a surprise — there will be two one-on-one dates, one group date and *gasp* the dreaded two-on-one.

For those new to Bachelor nation, the two-on-one date is traditionally where a "villain" contestant is paired with a more likable one on a date with the bachelor or bachelorette.

"I got mad about Arie changing his mind and took it out on everyone" Krystal is paired with "I'm sweet and quirky and play the ukulele" Kendall.

In a surprise akin to opening a jar of peanut butter and finding peanut butter in it, Krystal is sent home while Kendall and Luyendyk jot off to kiss under the sparkling Eiffel Tower.

This date also gives us the best quote of the episode from the other Bekah: "I think some of the girls would be shocked if Krystal came home from the two-on-one. But I don't know how shocked I would actually be. No one thought Trump was going to win the election, either."

The one-on-one dates are given to Lauren (the only Lauren left) and Jacqueline. The only relevant takeaway from those is that after Luyendyk got his girlfriend of two years pregnant, he still left to race and so when she miscarried, he was not there for her and she left him.

Great first date conversation.

The second best quote of the episode goes to Jacqueline on her one-on-one: "I felt like I was given a pony for Christmas, but it was like if you don't learn how to ride the pony by the end of the day, it'll be shot."

But what's important, Kufrans, is the group date because that is the one that Kufrin was on. The women headed to the literal Moulin Rouge (not just the music video with Christina Aguilera) and got to dress up and perform in their own burlesque show.

"When I think of Paris, I think of the Eiffel Tower, I think of the Louvre, the burlesque show — so much like, glitz and glam," Kufrin said.

After the women practice a choreographed number, they get all decked out in classic burlesque fashion with feathers and diamonds aplenty.

"I've never been in more pain in an outfit before," Kufrin said.

Being a burlesque show, the costumes do not necessarily cover all of the important bits but luckily, television censoring fills in the rest.

Bekah wins the group date rose and gets to perform in the actual Moulin Rouge show with Luyendyk who, by the way, is a terrible lipsyncer and does not know French.

After the elimination of Krystal and three date roses given out, three roses remain for five girls.

"I am really nervous for tonight," Kufrin said. "I have really strong feelings for Arie, so if I didn't get the rose tonight, I'd obviously be heartbroken. Like really, really heartbroken."

Tia's and Seinne's names are called, leaving Chelsea, Jenna and Kufrin vying for the one rose.

Breathe a sigh of relief, Kufrans — Kufrin snags the last one and is therefore heading to Italy.

This leaves only one more week before hometowns and therefore only one more week before Kufrans find out if the show did it right and had Kufrin film in Prior Lake, her true hometown, or if they had her film in Minneapolis.

Providing Kufrin makes it to hometowns, that is.
