Off to Edinburgh, Scotland. Kilts, Bagpipes, Castles, Golf, Haggis and Whisky!

Grant and his seven ladies were off to Edinburgh, Scotland for a week of dates. Grant started his time in Scotland playing golf with host Jesse. The ladies stayed at the Dalmahoy Hotel and Country Club, which is a gorgeous castle-like hotel that has previously hosted presidents and royals. Grant didn’t have roses to hand out on the dates and instead chose his Hometown ladies at the rose ceremony. Juliana got a one-on-one date at a ball at a castle. Litia got the second one-on-one date roaming around the city. And Carolina, Dina, Sarafiena, and Zoe got the group date doing fair games. Headed to Hometowns next week are Dina, Juliana, Litia and Zoe.

Who got kicked off: Alexe, Carolina and Sarafiena were sent home this week.

One-On-One Date: Juliana got a princess-inspired date. Date card read: “Our love is a fairytale. Love, Grant.” They took a helicopter ride. Delightful Calum was their Royal Valet for the day. They were styled by Miss Vixie Ray who has styled Scottish royalty including the king before. After choosing their attire, Juliana and Grant went to a ball. Juliana had a bright pink gown and Grant had a tux. They both bonded at dinner over the fact that they both consider themselves lone wolves and had close family members struggle with addiction.

Group Date: Carolina, Dina, Sarafiena, and Zoe went on the group date to a castle with fair games. Date Card Read: “I’m looking for my queen. Love, Grant.” Grant and his ladies were greeted by the Glencorse Pipe Band complete with kilts and bagpipes as they approved the Highland Fair. They did a traditional caber toss, saw Scottish dancing, changed into kilts and had a feast. They also played musical chairs and an antler ring toss game. Carolina pouted the whole time and sat at the table away from the group while they played the ring toss game. She separated herself from the ladies. Grant saw her sitting alone and took her away for a long time to talk to her. Dina was like I finally see what the other ladies were saying last week. The festivities came to an early end after it started to rain. At the cocktail party, Dina confronted Carolina about how she had stood up for her last week, but now she sees what everyone else did about Carolina pouting and taking time away from the other girls when she’s expressed so many doubts about Grant. Dina told Grant about her feelings about Carolina.

One-On-One Date: Litia got a One-on-One date traveling around Edinburgh. They tried Haggis and sipped whisky at The Beehive Inn. Grant tried his hand at bagpipes. Then Litia and Grant ran into a couple cute older ladies knitting (crocheting?) and asked if they wanted to tie the knot. Tying the knot is a tradition that started in Scotland and the lady had Grant and Litia put their hands together and she tied an infinity knot around it with fabric. It was sweet. At dinner, Litia and Grant bonded over their faith and they danced to a live performance from Emeli Sande. Litia admitted to producers that she was in love with Grant.

Next week, the crew is headed to Hometowns!
