SPOILER FREE ZONE
Tonight: Joey's journey continues in Malta with a dynamic one-on-one and the season's largest group date; the tension in the house comes to a head on a two-on-one date and a shocking cocktail party full of thorns.
Enjoy the show!

Malta is so pretty! I'm jealous.
Hopefully the stupid drama doesn't ruin the episode...

Malta! On my bucket list. Oh, how I miss the sunshine!!!
Joey with the dad jokes...producer written no doubt.
And here is the squealing about travel, the hotel room...and hopes about the drama being over. Good luck with that.
Lexi gets the first single date and some others are less than thrilled.

What gorgeous scenery and backdrop for LOVE! I missed what Joey said and only caught the words "the producers will do better next time" or something like that. What was it, did anyone see/hear that? ETA: ohh, a dad joke. Thanks Midol.

Lucky ladies! Autumn wondering if Malta was in Europe? Oy!
I'm sorry, but Joey's lame pun made me giggle.
Lexi was Mr. ECMs choice from night one, just based on looks alone.

I always pick out "my" yacht when I see a fancy marina like that too.

Pastery...yummy.
Malta looks so stunning!!! So far I am not feeling it with these two. He is doing his bachelor job!...even that scenic kiss.
OMG...shut up Sydney. You are the problem. How about paying attention to Joey and not worrying about Maria and what she is doing during her time with him.
And another confessional coming up during the night portion of their date. Naturally, the priest brings up children as an important part of marriage. Really unnecessary.

I understand that sometimes contestants need to share some of their concerns, or challenges they may have, but if Lexi is infertile, and Joey really wants children, that may be a problem. She could be out of the running before any relationship even starts.

I forgot about that ^ !! Lexi goes right into it, seemed nervous about having her conversation. Stage 5 is quite a bit! Poor Joey, having to respond to something like that, and hearing that Lexi's ex broke up with her over her potential infertility. He's so sweet, and handles things well.

She only shared it with her ex...and millions of people on national tv. I hate producers putting people through these things. I am glad Joey brought up there being other ways of creating a family. Good man.
My friend had that and had several surgeries. They told her after each surgery, she had about a year to get pregnant before it would build up again. After years of trying, they had a baby. First time they had unprotected sex after the baby...bang...she's pregnant again. They didn't think she would get pregnant again so weren't thinking. This was 20 years ago so treatments may have improved since then.

Every time they say Madina's name I think of that "Funky Cold Medina" song. Sword fighting for the group date...

Lots of women suffer from endometriosis and are able to have children. Stage 5 seems pretty serious, but weren't the surgeons able to operate? My friend had horrible, debilitating menstrual cramps her entire adolescence and in her 20s and was having trouble conceiving. The doctor diagnosed her with endometriosis and they were able to surgically remove a lot of the tissue. Afterwards, she conceived right away. Also, if a mom nurses her baby, it keeps the endometriosis at bay, which is good to know for subsequent pregnancy.

Catch sausages in your mouth? Okay, production.

Joey looks pretty good in that outfit. I don't get the staring thing. I'm pretty sure the original knights didn't go around kissing one another.
How he looks at Daisy.
The sausage thing. Like bad porn.
Autumn gets the extra time with Joey because she was the only one who caught the sausage with her mouth. Naturally he has to make out with her...in costume...in front of that beautiful back drop. Zero chemistry, but he has a job to do!

Humiliation is this show's fallback for entertainment. But, some of those scenes were kind of funny as they tried to catch the dumb sausages!
I'm glad Autumn got some time with him, because it seems like we haven't seen much of the two of them.

Jess is the one really annoying me tonight -- more than Maria even! Hoping she goes home tonight.

Evening portion of dates and we start with Daisy...talking about kids...and names. Okay. I like Colette/Coco.
Kelsey is next.
Some of them are realizing that only one will win him. I think they are cluing in that it's not them. Talking about you Jess.
The dreaded 2:1 for Sydney and Maria. I am not looking forward to this.
Meanwhile, Kelsey T gets the GD rose. Joey says she is on the forefront of his mind...sorry, not buying it. I see zero chemistry.

The Sydney-Maria mess is already so tiresome and we haven't even gotten to the worst of it. Hopefully Maria doesn't get the rose for the 2 on 1 date.
Great Value Hannah Brown needs to go home too.

I'm with you. I wish he would send both home, but I don't think we will be so lucky. Unfortunately, someone needs to stay to add the drama.

Let's get this drama over with.
Oh, Joey...how do you think they are feeling? Awkward...just like you. He looks like he wants to be anywhere, but there.
Blue Grotto. I would enjoy this so much more if this was a single date. Sydney is such a downer.

Sydney is a drag and Maria is annoying. I'd jump off the boat and swim away somewhere if I was Joey.

Such a waste of this beautiful location! No one seems to be noticing it much, because they're so overwhelmed by their drama.
Joey is SO cute! (I just have to say that every episode. Can't help it.)

Sydney must really be suffering, because she couldn't even dress up or brush her hair for this date. She is moping around, and that's not appealing at all, and when he doesn't even know her it's NOT going to get her anywhere.
At least annoying Maria is trying to be positive and kind of make it a fun time.

So, is Sydney flat out lying or what? I tend to zone out when the ladies start quarreling. Did Maria tell Lea to " shut the eff up?" Or not?

Annnd Maria lives on to annoy me another week while Sydney goes home to her kitties.
Sigh.

What would the opera singer have sung if Maria had gone home?

Sydney...still b*tching. Always complaining and zero talking about their relationship.
Maria...he admits there is something there...no such admission with Sydney. Clearly, he has more interest in her and is more willing to buy her side of the story. Admits he is not sure if he can more past this, but is willing to try.
I hate the "my truth" BS. Sydney thinks there is potential for a relationship between them...said with zero conviction. Maria seems much more enthusiastic about their connection and potential going forward. Fake out with Sydney. He says her name first and she has a smug smile thinking it is her, but not surprisingly, he goes for Maria.
Joey is willing to try to move past this with Maria. Not an ringing endorsement, but better than being sent home. A singer is singing Ave Maria in the church as the suitcase guy comes to the hotel to get Sydney's bags. Shocked Pikachu faces abound ... and sad Jess already missing her bestie.
