AceShowbiz - The second episode of ABC's "The Bachelor" which aired on Monday, January 8 showed that things started getting intense. Apparently, Arie Luyendyk Jr. didn't need a long time to get the ladies under his skin, to the point two of them got into an explosive fight over time spent with the 36-year-old race car driver/realtor.
Becca K. was the first contestant to enjoy one-on-one date with Arie. The pair had a romantic motorcycle ride, before they met designer Rachel Zoe. Arie showed that he's someone who expressed his love with over-the-top gifts, including a brand new pair of Louboutins, gorgeous diamond jewelry and some dresses from Rachel.
The two shared an intimate kiss although it was still daytime. The pair had a romantic dinner later, where Becca told Arie about her dad's death from brain cancer. At the end of their date, Arie kept showering Becca with gifts. This time they were a rose and a kiss.
The second date was between Arie and Krystal. The hunky man and Krystal enjoyed their time together in Arie's hometown in Scottsdale, Arizona, where they went to his high school, watched childhood videos as well as visited his parents. Seeing how close Arie was to his family somehow made Krystal sad. She revealed that her parents got divorced and told him a heartbreaking story about her brother, who has become homeless in recent years. Comforting Krystal, Arie gave Krystal the second rose before they lip-locked.
The next date in the episode was a group date, with Maquel, Marikh, Tia, Valerie, Annaliese, Lauren G., Kendall, Bekah, Jenny, Sienne, Jenna, Caroline, Brittany T., Bibiana and Chelsea being chosen. The ladies were put against each other in a demolition derby, with the last woman to keep her car running winning. However, Annaliese broke down in tears as she recalled her bumper car trauma. She revealed that when she was a kid, she was in a bumper car which stopped working. It left a huge trauma on her as other cars repeatedly bashed her bumper car.

After Arie comforted her, Annaliese agreed to compete. Sienne won the competition, but it was Chelsea who got the alone time with Arie, further irritating the other women. Chelsea, who received backlash in the first episode, finally told Arie that she has a 3-year-old son. Things went intimate later on, with the two sharing a kiss.
Arie later chatted with Sienne, and they kissed. It was definitely not the last kiss in the episode since Arie kissed Bekah during their alone time. Meanwhile, Bibiana grew anxious as she felt that she didn't get enough time to be with Arie. When her moment with Arie came, Krystal interrupted. The two women got into an argument, with Bibiana warning Krystal that she just dug a "big ass hole" for herself.
At the rose ceremony, Arie gave his roses to Maquel, Jaqueline, Bekah, Jenna, Chelsea, Lauren S., Tia, Annaliese, Lauren B., Kendall, Brittany, Ashley, Marikh, Caroline and Bibiana. Unfortunately, Lauren G., Jenny and Valerie were all eliminated.
"The Bachelor" airs on Mondays at 8 P.M. on ABC.
