《单身女郎》（The Bachelorette）S08E05

Emily和她的追求者们来到历史悠久的伦敦城，但男人们之间的矛盾也在不断升级。从白金汉宫到伦敦塔，Emily和Sean享受着这座古都的「浪漫」。而当八个男人组成的集体约会团「入侵」莎翁的诞生地的莎士比亚大剧院时，这座艺术的殿堂立刻变得喧闹起来。他们决定在这里表演话剧《罗密欧与朱丽叶》中的经典片段。然而Emily发现其中一个男人说了一些对她女儿Ricki十分不敬的话，好端端的「文艺聚会」变成了一场吵架会。Emily决定与那个胡说八道的人当面对质，但其他男人谁也不支持她，这让她十分懊恼。随后，Emily做了一些惊人的决定。Jef和Emily共饮「正式」的下午茶，但英国人过分讲究的礼仪让他们这两个美国人根本无法接受。他们决定甩下古板的英国礼仪老师，溜到当地的酒吧里玩乐。为了忘记争吵事件的烦恼，Emily把Jef带到伦敦城里最浪漫的去处：「伦敦之眼」，也就是泰晤士河上的摩天轮。在晚些时候的鸡尾酒会上，Emily发誓要弄明白究竟哪些人早已知道「冒犯者」的言论却不警告她，以及他们不支持她的原因。

Emily和剩余的八位追求者下一站将前往克罗地亚。

For her first one-on-one date of the week, Emily and Sean jump onto one of the iconic double-decker buses to tour the city. They share a romantic kiss at Buckingham Palace where Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, exchanged their public kisses as man and wife. Later that night, the couple share a private dinner locked inside the Tower of London. Emily seems smitten with her date, but will Sean be able to unlock her heart and get the rose?

The next morning eight lucky bachelors meet Emily at Stratford-upon-Avon on a group date. Some of men embrace the opportunity to become thespians for the day, acting in scenes from Shakepeare’s famous “Romeo and Juliet.” Emily hopes they all have a blast, since part of being a parent is learning to go with the flow. A confident Ryan relishes playing Romeo and having the opportunity to kiss Emily for the first time. Arie is terrified when he discovers he must dress like a woman to portray the nurse. Kalon is so fixated on his performance, he shoos Emily away so he can get more rehearsal time. The live audience that gathers gets a lot of laughs as the men perform their scenes with Emily playing Juliet, but Ryan’s kiss as Romeo rocks the rest of the guys to their core.

That night, when the group go to a local pub to celebrate their “reviews,” a fun time turns into a debacle. A brave bachelor tells Emily about an insulting remark one man made about her daughter and it becomes public knowledge. She confronts the thoughtless guy. Disheartened that any of her suitors would say such a horrible thing and discouraged that none of the other men stand by her in the confrontation, Emily makes some startling decisions.

Attempting to put the situation behind her, Emily tries to teach Jef the proper English way to have afternoon tea, but when the etiquette class becomes too much, they run to a local pub and then to the London Eye – one of the city’s iconic landmarks and symbol of modern Britain. Will Jef finally make his move and kiss Emily, or will he fail to seize the moment?

At the dramatic cocktail party, Emily is totally focused on grilling the men. Who knew about the disrespectful comment and why did no one alert her earlier about the boorish bachelor who made it? Arie, in particular, is put on the hot seat. Where is the man she can look to as a husband and a stepfather to her daughter? She is beginning to wonder if any of these guys can fill the bill. After the rose ceremony, eight men remain to travel onto one of Europe’s most beautiful countries: Croatia.

The 10 remaining men are:


Alejandro, 24, a mushroom farmer from San Francisco, CA


Arie, 30, a race car driver from Scottsdale, AZ


Chris, 25, a corporate sales director from Chicago, IL


Doug, 33, a charity director/realtor from Seattle, WA


Jef, 27, an entrepreneur from Salt Lake City, UT


John “Wolf,” 30, a data destruction specialist from St. Louis, MO


Kalon, 27, a luxury brand consultant from Houston, TX


Ryan, 31, a pro sports trainer from Augusta, GA


Sean, 28, an insurance agent from Dallas, TX


Travis, 30, an advertising sales representative from Madison, MS
