"Whoever said you only regret the things you don&amp;apos;t do never looked for love on reality TV. Episode five of The Bachelor&amp;apos;s 18th season kicked off with Juan Pablo waxing optimistic about his &amp;quot;aventura&amp;quot; with the remaining ladies in Vietnam -- and ended with both him and frontrunner Clare in tears. It was a rough week, to say the least.&amp;#xA0;\r\n&amp;quot;I am excited. I&amp;apos;ve never been to Vietnam. I can&amp;apos;t wait to see what this country has in store for me,&amp;quot; Juan Pablo says in the opening minutes of the first hour. &amp;quot;This place is just gorgeous. I have 11 girls left, and it&amp;apos;s been great. I&amp;apos;m keeping my eyes very open right now and making sure that I make the right decisions at all times.&amp;quot; (Famous last words, Juan Pablo. Famous last words.)&amp;#xA0;\r\nAnyway, the ladies are super excited to be in Vietnam. Nikki, in particular, is hoping that a change of location can change her luck, too. &amp;quot;Last week was really hard for me. There was a lot of tension in the house, and I feel like I was probably, like, the root of all of that,&amp;quot; she admits. &amp;quot;But honestly, I&amp;apos;m really looking forward to putting last week behind me...I want a one-on-one so bad.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nAlas, the first one-on-one goes to Renee, who is still eagerly waiting to be kissed by the Bachelor. She meets up with Juan Pablo in Hoi An, where they hop in a pedicab and head to a little clothing shop in the center of town so Renee can get a custom-made dress. &amp;quot;She deserves something very nice to make her feel a little special,&amp;quot; he explains. Renee does indeed feel special, but it&amp;apos;s not just because of the dress. At one point, when she mentions to the tailor that she&amp;apos;s sweating, Juan Pablo thoughtfully runs out to get a fan. He also suggests that they pick out gifts for their kids -- a dress for his daughter, Camila, and a hat for Renee&amp;apos;s son, Ben -- which nearly makes her cry.\r\n&amp;quot;I really want to kiss this man,&amp;quot; she says over a couple of beers by the river. &amp;quot;I want to kiss Juan Pablo bad.&amp;quot; He wants to kiss her, too, as it turns out, but as he explains in a confessional after giving her the date rose at dinner, he&amp;apos;s worried what her little boy will think. &amp;quot;He&amp;apos;s old enough to understand. He&amp;apos;s 8 years old,&amp;quot; Juan Pablo says. &amp;quot;&amp;apos;Mommy, what are you doing? Why are you kissing this guy? Is he gonna be kind of my stepdad?&amp;apos; You know, those kinds of things. And I want to take my time. So tonight -- not gonna happen.&amp;quot;\r\nThe next day, Sharleen, Chelsie, Kat, Cassandra, Clare, Kelly, Alli, Danielle, and Andi join Juan Pablo for a little boat ride down the river. Each bamboo boat holds two, so the ladies -- except Clare, who has no friends in the group -- split off into pairs. Being unpopular in the house works in Clare&amp;apos;s favor, though, as she gets the honor of riding with Juan Pablo. He thinks he&amp;apos;s being stealth by making out with her when no one&amp;apos;s around, but he should by now that someone is always watching his every move.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I&amp;apos;ve had a really great date today, but thanks to Clare, my date has been with Alli,&amp;quot; Chelsie quips. &amp;quot;Juan Pablo&amp;apos;s been, like, around my date, but me and Alli have had a really romantic morning.&amp;quot; Adds Andi: &amp;quot;I was frustrated even just coming here this morning to this date, and seeing another one-on-one date happen right in front of my eyes, basically, [I&amp;apos;m] annoyed, pissed...yeah.&amp;quot;\r\nAfter the boat ride, Juan Pablo and his ladies head to a local family farm, where they&amp;apos;re put to work harvesting their dinner from the fields. Andi uses the time to tell Juan Pablo how she&amp;apos;s feeling, and he assures her that he wants her there. Her fears are assuaged -- but only temporarily, since Juan Pablo once again favors Clare at the cocktail party that night. &amp;quot;Should we just take the rose down there and give it to her?&amp;quot; Kelly jokes when Juan Pablo takes Clare to his hotel suite for some one-on-one time in the pool.\r\nAn indeterminate amount of time later, Juan Pablo returns to the rest of the group and grabs Sharleen for a little makeout session on the beach -- and not a moment too soon. &amp;quot;I guess I&amp;apos;m questioning the connection we have,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;I need to believe that he sees me as a panda in a room full of brown bears.&amp;quot; Andi&amp;apos;s doubts are back, too. &amp;quot;Literally, it is gut-wrenching at times to see these girls have one-on-one time with Juan Pablo. In what reality does that actually happen? It&amp;apos;s crazy,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s bizarre, it&amp;apos;s awkward, and it makes you question everything.&amp;quot; Thankfully, she doesn&amp;apos;t have to wait long for answers, since Juan Pablo takes her down to the shore and kisses all her fears away. &amp;quot;Sucking face again!&amp;quot; she quips. &amp;quot;Sorry, Mom. Another episode you can&amp;apos;t watch.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nAndi&amp;apos;s flying high after that, but her happiness is short-lived, as Clare gets the date rose. And that&amp;apos;s not all she gets. Back at the hotel, Clare tells the rest of the ladies she&amp;apos;s going to bed -- but instead she sneaks back to Juan Pablo&amp;apos;s hotel and propositions him with a little late-night dip in the ocean. &amp;quot;Oh my gosh, Clare. She&amp;apos;s on fire,&amp;quot; Juan Pablo says. &amp;quot;Ay ay ay. The waves were wild. And we got a little wild, too, because obviously there&amp;apos;s this thing that we have that I don&amp;apos;t have with anybody else right now in the house.&amp;quot;\r\n&amp;quot;I just want to have that special moment together, so I&amp;apos;m just gonna let go of all my fear and let myself be vulnerable,&amp;quot; Clare adds, as the camera shows them getting hot and heavy in the water. &amp;quot;We just went for it. And I don&amp;apos;t regret it. Pure bliss in every way. Hands down, one of the best nights of my entire life.&amp;quot;&amp;#xA0;\r\nThe next day, it&amp;apos;s Nikki&amp;apos;s turn to monopolize the Bachelor&amp;apos;s attention. After walking through Marble Mountain, they come to a cliff -- where Juan Pablo reveals that they&amp;apos;ll be rappelling down to a cave called Hell. Nikki is less than thrilled. &amp;quot;I feel like I can&amp;apos;t form sentences right now, because all I can picture is myself, like, plummeting to the bottom,&amp;quot; she says fearfully. &amp;quot;I don&amp;apos;t do stuff like this. I am willing to take risks for love, because if I wasn&amp;apos;t, I think I&amp;apos;d be walking back down this mountain right now. So I either live or I die or I poop my pants.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nShe lives, of course, and is rewarded with a kiss and a romantic dinner. The rest of the night is relatively uneventful, unless you count Nikki talking about her career an event. &amp;quot;There&amp;apos;s nothing I&amp;apos;m more proud of than my job,&amp;quot; she says of why she became a pediatric nurse. &amp;quot;Every day, I&amp;apos;m helping people, but when I look back, I realize they&amp;apos;re helping me, too...I think I&amp;apos;m super-compassionate, and I think I have, like, a huge heart.&amp;quot; Juan Pablo agrees, especially after she tells him she&amp;apos;s ready to embrace his daughter. &amp;quot;I like Nikki the nurse,&amp;quot; he tells her, before asking her to accept the date rose. (She accepts, obviously.)\r\nThe next night, at the cocktail party, is when things get a little sticky. After Juan Pablo announces that he&amp;apos;s sending home three, not two girls at the end of evening, everyone&amp;apos;s nerves are on edge. Clare breaks the ice with a toast -- &amp;quot;Cheers to finding love, being loved, and making love&amp;quot; -- but the ladies are worried, and so is Juan Pablo. The one high point of the night is when he throws caution to the wind and finally kisses Renee. (&amp;quot;Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God!&amp;quot; she squeals, as music swells in the background.)\r\nThat moment is followed by a much less joyful one with Clare, during which Juan Pablo tells her he regrets their little tryst. &amp;quot;Maybe I made a mistake the other night, taking it too far with Clare,&amp;quot; he says in a voiceover. &amp;quot;Was I fair going with Clare to the ocean? No, I wasn&amp;apos;t fair to the other 10 girls in the house.&amp;quot; Clare doesn&amp;apos;t really care if it&amp;apos;s fair -- &amp;quot;it&amp;apos;s about how you feel, and it&amp;apos;s about your heart,&amp;quot; she reasons -- but Juan Pablo says he&amp;apos;s worried, too, that he&amp;apos;s not setting a good example for his daughter.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I feel stupid. And I&amp;apos;m embarrassed,&amp;quot; she says through her tears. &amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s not okay, or else you wouldn&amp;apos;t have brought it up to me.&amp;quot; Later, in a confessional, she says she was &amp;quot;blindsided&amp;quot; by the conversation. &amp;quot;I knew when we were in the ocean that it was a mutual feeling,&amp;quot; she explains. &amp;quot;There was no miscommunication, there was no misunderstanding. He was on board with everything. It&amp;apos;s confusing, and I don&amp;apos;t know where we go from here.&amp;quot;\r\nWhere they go is to the rose ceremony. Sharleen, Cassandra, Chelsie, Kat, and Andi join Renee, Clare, and Nikki in the &amp;quot;safe group,&amp;quot; leaving Kelly, Alli, and Danielle out in the cold. &amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s hard to say goodbye to good people,&amp;quot; he says tearfully. &amp;quot;But I&amp;apos;m gonna have to.&amp;quot;&amp;#xA0;\r\nTell Us: Do you think Juan Pablo should have handled the situation with Clare differently?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
