The overnight dates episode is scheduled to air on February 29, one week after Ben breaks one girl’s heart and send’s her home after the hometown dates.
There is speculation that the Fantasy Suite dates were filmed in November at the Sandals Royal Plantation in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, after several fans leaked out photos on Twitter of Ben and his dates. The pictures that have since been removed — possibly by producers who are trying their best to keep this season’s ending a secret.
According to a previous report from the Inquisitr, Ben spent the week before overnights visiting the hometowns of Caila Quinn (Ohio), JoJo Fletcher (Texas), Lauren Bushnell (Oregon), and Amanda Stanton (California).
Spoilers indicate that Ben sent single mom Amanda Stanton home after hometowns, leaving him with his final three girls — Caila, JoJo, and Lauren.
According to Reality Steve, Ben and the girls traveled to Jamaica in early November and enjoyed their last one-on-one dates, a meet-up with Ben’s parents, and a night with Ben in the Fantasy Suite — if they accepted Ben’s magical key.
Steve’s spoilers indicate that the overnight dates were filmed on November 7, 9, and 11, giving Ben a day of rest between each date. Did he need the break because he slept with all three ladies?
Fans won’t know for sure if the girls accepted a key to the Fantasy Suite until the episode airs on February 29, and they won’t know if Ben got horizontal with one or more of this final three ladies unless they kiss and tell.
“As is the case every season, there will be speculation regarding sex… Some have had sex with one, some have had sex with two, some have had it with all three. But that’s usually not found out til well after the fact… what I can tell you is Ben had overnight dates with all three girls and then eliminated one at the rose ceremony.”
Spoilers point to Ben sending Caila Quinn home after the overnight dates, although Reality Steve initially pointed to Caila as one of the Bachelor‘s final two picks. Although he pegged JoJo as a top contender for the next Bachelorette if she came in third, it appears that Caila is the perfect fit for ABC’s next leading lady.
Earlier this month Bachelor creator Mike Fleiss told Us Weekly that they are hoping to cast the franchise’s first non-white Bachelorette for the upcoming season. Although there are rumors that Jubilee Sharpe is the network’s top pick, Reality Steve is confident that Caila, who is half-Filipino, will get the gig simply because producers always pick a girl who finishes in the top four.
If the spoilers are correct, JoJo Stanton and Lauren Bushnell will compete for Ben’s final rose, but was Ben’s comment during his first date with Lauren a major hint as to who will leave the show as the future Mrs. Higgins?

“Tonight feels like how I’d want the first date to be with my wife,” Ben said in an ITM after his first one-one-one date with flight attendant Lauren Bushnell on week 3.
