Though each season of the hit reality show is promised to be the “most dramatic,” this one may actually fulfill that expectation. Whether it’s season villain Olivia stirring up trouble in every way you can think of, or some cute little creatures unexpectedly roaming an island, check out five of Ben’s season’s most noteworthy moments. Not mentioned: Ben's good looks — this applies to points one through five.
1. Olivia fake crying after comparing Amanda and her kids to "Teen Mom"
Not sure if Olivia was trying to come across as genuine or knew she looked completely fake when crying, but either way, it was definitely an unforgettable moment this season. The whole act came after 25-year-old Amanda began discussing her two young daughters and Olivia kind of mumbled — quite loudly — that she felt like it was an episode of "Teen Mom." Cue the tears and claims that she was “really trying” to be better.
2. Jubilee in general
I was very much Team Jubilee and so I was understandably upset when Ben sent her home. One of the reasons I was a fan of her was her no-damns-given attitude and sarcastic sense of humor. Even though the other girls thought her jokes were offensive to Ben, I thought they were pretty funny and the other girls needed to lighten up. I found it especially amusing when Amber attempted to remove Jubilee from her isolated location on a couch outside and Jubilee totally blew her off. The girl does not have time for that.
3. The swimming pigs
On a particularly cloudy/windy day in the Bahamas, a boat carrying Ben and the group date girls arrived at an island with... swimming pigs! The pigs were so adorable and funny, I hardly even noticed how fantastic Ben looked, especially shirtless. Even though the date was horribly awkward and uncomfortable, the pigs provided excellent entertainment the whole time. Ben seemed to think all the girls were ignoring him; maybe they were just enjoying the presence of the pigs.
4. Olivia's departure
The controversial blonde gets another mention because she essentially dominated the show with her antics while she was still on it. Her exit came during a two-on-one date with Emily — whose profession is listed as “twin,” but anyway. This was a particularly noteworthy moment because Olivia spent about ten minutes rambling about her confidence in her and Ben’s relationship and how the rest of the show is just the pathway to their marriage. She then proceeded to be sent home, much to everyone’s delight.
5. The talent show
I’m not sure how many of these could be considered talents, but it was an interesting episode to watch, nonetheless. From the twins wearing some cute Oktoberfest-esque grab while Irish step dancing, to some cello playing and pogo stick riding, it was actually a pretty normal talent show. Until Olivia dressed up in a skimpy glittery red ensemble and emerged from a cake — and then proceeded to have a panic attack after realizing she may not seem like marriage material after her performance.
