Ashton and Mila explain the obstacle course to the eight bachelors on the first group date. This includes changing dolls’ diapers, strapping on baby Bjorns and pulling a hair rope out of a clogged sink. A tight competition ensues, leading to a controversial finish when one cunning bachelor demonstrates he will do anything to ensure victory. Will his aggressiveness win over Rachel, or will he be benched for “un-husband-like conduct?”

Peter is whisked away for the first one-on-one date of the season. A third party – Rachel’s adorable dog, Copper – joins them as they fly to Palm Springs for a day at a pool party with other dogs at “Bark Fest.” The date continues as the pair share a romantic dinner where they connect over their past heartbreak and delight to a fireworks display especially for them.

It starts out a perfect day for 10 men and sports enthusiast Rachel – a basketball dream date with Kareem Abdul Jabbar. The guys are stunned, however, when Jabbar reveals they will be competing in front of a huge crowd, including a brass band and cheerleaders. One bachelor gets cocky and starts showboating for the spectators. However, the fun and games are cut short when a woman approaches Rachel with the information that one of the bachelors is her boyfriend. Rachel’s confrontation with the man and the aftermath of the altercation leaves everyone speechless. It leaves her to wonder if the other men are there to find love or play games.
