For anyone watching Ben Higgins' search for love on ABC Family's "The Bachelor," Season 20 has had a number of dates and moments that stand out in Bachelor history. Here are some of the most absurd moments that happened this season.
1. The Dental
Check-Up: So, one of the contestants on this season, Mandi, is a dentist.However, I think all of Bachelor Nation was astonished when she actually gave Ben Higgins a dental check-up on the very first episode. Lucky for Ben, he passed the oral check-up test and was rewarded with a kiss. Unlucky for Mandi, I think this may have made a very strange impression on Ben.
2. When Lace called Ben out after the Rose Ceremony.
Everything seemed perfectly normal at the Rose Ceremony. Nothing unusual happened. And, inevitably, at every rose ceremony, there will have to be one contestant who is called last. That's how it works. However, this wasn't okay with one of the contestants, Lace, as she proceeded to call him out for his calling her last to receive a rose and for not making eye contact with her during the entire ceremony. This gave everyone a very unfavorable view of Lace, and we were all surprised when she wasn't eliminated next!
3. The Date with Ice-Cube and Kevin Hart.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have two comedians follow you around on a first date? Ben and Caila can tell you! Ice-Cube and Kevin Hart did their job perfectly by making every potentially romantic aspect of the date as unromantic as possible, which made for great TV! Contestant Caila took it surprisingly well and went along with the date and their awkward comments.
4. The Love Lab Group Date.
The purpose of this group date was to determine who has the best chemistry with Ben, according to science. One of the tests involved the six contestants on the date running on a treadmill and letting Ben sniff them after their workout to determine how strong the chemistry is (aka how much he likes their post-workout aura). Most of the girls were told they had nice scents, such as "beachy." Samantha, however, was told she smelled "sour"—awkward.
5. Olivia's "Talent."
This was a cringe-worthy moment in which Olivia popped out of a cake to show off her "showgirl" talent at what was otherwise a pretty normal talent show. Since it wouldn't be appropriate to put a picture of that here, I'll leave you with some reactions from the other girls.
6. Olivia's "Cankle" Conversation with Ben.
It was a pretty shocking and memorable moment this season when Olivia had a "serious" conversation with Ben about her insecurities regarding her ugly toes and "cankles."
During the conversation, she begins to cry—what made this conversation even more shocking is that, moments prior, Ben had informed the girls that he was emotionally distressed over the loss of a couple of family friends who died in a plane crash.
While most of the girls were focused on how to console Ben, Olivia was focused on her ugly toes and cankles. Ben even admitted that it wasn't exactly the conversation he was hoping to have.
7. The Two on One Date with the Twins.
The fact that there were twin contestants competing for the same guy was already pretty bizarre. To make things even weirder, Ben took them both on the two-on-one date! For anyone who doesn't know, two-on-one dates are when two contestants go on a date with the Bachelor/Bachelorette and one of them automatically gets eliminated by the end of the date.
But on this two-on-one date, the contestants were twins! How hard must it have been for Ben to have to choose between identical sisters who are so in-sync they complete each other's sentences?! This is, by far, one of the most ridiculous dates I've seen on the Bachelor.
Overall, this season of "The Bachelor" has not disappointed and the ridiculousness of Ben's journey for love among 28 women continues to amuse the audience with unpredictable moments and overly dramatic characters.
