ABC’s ‘The Bachelor’ 2016 Spoilers: Episode 9 Takes Ben Higgins, Final 3 Ladies To Jamaica For The Overnight Fantasy Suite Dates

Ben Higgins and his final three ladies are headed off to Jamaica for the overnight fantasy dates on ABC’s The Bachelor 2016 season. It is down to JoJo Fletcher, Lauren Bushnell, and Caila Quinn, and Bachelor spoilers have teased that Episode 9 will be a very dramatic one. What can viewers expect?

ABC is sharing new Bachelor spoilers about the fantasy dates. Each of the three ladies will get the date card inviting them to spend the night alone together in a suite, and Reality Steve’s spoilers have indicated that all three ladies will accept.

Caila Quinn’s date in Jamaica is said to be shown first in Episode 9, and Bachelor spoilers indicate that she and Ben will head off on a rafting trip down the river in the jungle. Yahoo! TV shares a sneak peek at this outing, and most would say that things definitely seem a bit awkward between the two.

Fans have seen this Bachelorette voice some hesitations and insecurities throughout this season, but Bachelor spoilers note that she will manage to open up as she shares a beachfront romantic dinner with Ben. Will it be enough for Higgins, or is she taking this leap to express herself too late to ensure she receives a rose?

Ben is said to be patient and persuasive with Caila during this dinner on the beach, and Bachelor spoiler previews have shown that she will tell him she is in love with him. From the sounds of things, her newfound confidence that allows her to share her feelings may end up being a bit overwhelming for Higgins, but it seems the date does go well enough for them to head to the fantasy suite.

Lauren Bushnell’s date will air next, and she will be joined by some baby turtles on her date. The Bachelor spoilers note that Ben and Lauren will have some quiet time on the beach together after visiting a turtle preservation, and they will be talking about the future they envision together.

Ben and Lauren will also talk about the hometown date they shared, which had some intensely emotional moments. The Bachelor spoilers share that Lauren will tell Ben she loves him, and it seems this may be when he tells her he loves her, as well. There have been previews teasing this big moment, where Higgins admits he is in love, although fans know that another lady is shockingly going to hear something somewhat similar, as well.

JoJo Fletcher’s fantasy date will air last in Episode 9, and Bachelor spoilers tease that Higgins will be feeling quite conflicted heading into this one. His hometown date with Fletcher had some challenging moments, and she will be anxious to ensure that things are still fine with her beau. Ben and JoJo will get a helicopter ride to a remote jungle waterfall, where things get hot and steamy in the water.

Later in the date, Higgins and Fletcher will share dinner, and things will get more serious as they discuss their feelings. Is this where Ben ends up telling another woman that he loves her, as Bachelor spoilers have been teasing? After the overnight dates are done, it seems that viewers will see Caila head to Ben’s room to surprise him. She may have been hoping to do a bit of reconnecting with him, but it sounds as if she will be left rather stunned.

Does Ben eliminate Caila ahead of the rose ceremony? It sounds as if he just might, as Reality Steve’s spoilers have detailed that Quinn is the bachelorette eliminated after these dates. ABC teases that one of the ladies is shocked and crushed when she is told that she will be heading home, and the press release doesn’t detail anything about a rose ceremony.

Many fans wonder, however, if this Episode 9 exit may well be paving the way to Caila becoming the Bachelorette 2016 lead. Finishing in that third spot has become a hot spot for getting the gig, and hearing Bachelor spoiler scoop regarding a separate bit of time together for Quinn and Higgins before her elimination may well fan the flames of that possibility coming together.

Ben Higgins surely meant what he said when he told two different women he was in love with them, but Bachelor spoilers tease that this will lead to some intensely emotional moments heading into the final rose ceremony. Will Reality Steve’s spoilers about Ben’s final pick be right? Fans cannot wait to see what comes next as the drama plays out in the last few episodes of ABC’s The Bachelor 2016 season.
