We’re getting down to the wire, guys! Ben and the final three ladies are heading to the Swiss Alps for the last stop in their journey. Who do you all think Ben will choose—Lindzi, Nicki, or Courtney? I’m starting to get a strong feeling about Courtney.

Nicki is the first girl that Ben speaks about, and Ben talks about how he likes her kindness and open-heartedness. When he’s reflecting on Lindzi, he says that he’s been attracted to her since day one. She was the first impression rose! Finally there’s Courtney. He describes their relationship as being “some weird, magical force.” I don’t think he realizes that there’s a connection between this force and his hormones. Ha!

I think Switzerland must be one of the most beautiful places that "The Bachelor" has visited. Watching Ben walk around makes me want to jump on a plane and see it for myself!

Nicki has the first one on one, and she brings on the baby voice right away. Hon, keep it in check. They hop on a helicopter ride to get a full view of the Alps. They don’t seem to be very conversational in the helicopter, which has me a little worried. At this point in the relationship, shouldn’t the conversation be a given?

Ben and Nicki do have a conversation rehashing the hometown date, and Nicki seems to have really fallen for Ben. I just don’t see Ben proposing to Nicki, though. I think he’s too into crazy Courtney!

That night, Ben and Nicki have dinner inside a log cabin. Three points for romance! They talk about their future together. Nicki says that she sees herself living and working in Sonoma with Ben, and she even asks how many kids Ben wants. He wants four kids, and she wants two. I’m thinking a solid three would work well for them! 

Ben offers Nicki the overnight card, and she goes for it. And then they go, um, spend time together?

For the next date, Ben picks up Lindzi for their date in Interlaken. Lindzi looks adorable and so genuinely excited to see Ben. He has an adventurous date planned for the two of them—they’re going repelling!

Even from the camera angle, the whole thing looks extremely daunting. I can’t imagine how they may have felt. But when in Switzerland, you might as well repel off of a cliff, right? Ben actually says that he’s afraid of getting hurt. I don’t blame him!

Of course, Lindzi throws in a nice little, “this is just like being in a relationship” metaphor. I know what you’re thinking—gag me.

They’re both wearing little cameras on their heads. I’m feeling like this moment was a little bit anti-climactic for them. They went about three miles per hour down the whole thing. Adventurous non-the-less, though!

Cut to the hot tub. Classic Bachelor action, here! They look cute and comfortable with each other, which is progress for these two—they definitely went through a little awkward phase! Did anyone else notice how Lindzi has mastered the messy hot tub bun? She looks like she just threw her hair up, but somehow I doubt it was that simple. Way to go, girl!

At dinner, Lindzi wears a spot-on long sleeve grayish purple dress. She looks classy and beautiful. They have a really sweet conversation about heartbreak and their own relationship. I really like the two of them! I have a bad feeling that he’s not going to choose her, but she is such a genuine person. But Lindzi, lay off the spray tan for a few weeks, okay?

Lindzi accepts the overnight card, and the two of them head off for some nooky.

Finally, we’ve reached Courtney. Courtney is one of the few people who can rock a center part, but man, she looks good in it! I really like her hair in the first part of this date. Courtney says that she can’t think of anyone else she’d rather be with. I’m starting to actually believe that she has serious feelings for him… am I kidding myself?

Courtney seems more honest and compassionate than she has in any other episode. She even says that she feels bad about things that she’s said in the past about other girls. When Ben asks her about the way she’s treated other girls, Courtney sort of avoids the question.  I do think that she’s really concerned that her past actions will affect her relationship with Ben in the future. I don’t see how it couldn’t have an impact!

I think that Courtney’s trust issues have really impacted the way she’s behaved throughout this season. Still, though, there is a little part of me that is concerned that she’s not being real with him. I do think that her acknowledgement of her mistakes is a big step, but what is going to happen if Ben and Courtney watch these episodes together and he sees everything she’s said? 

When Ben offers Courtney the fantasy suite card, she goes for it, and they head off to the suite. Is there some way to write about this portion of the date without being totally awkward? I’m thinking no. They’re going at it, people.

Then they cut to a sneak peak of the next Bachelorette—Emily Maynard! I am a huge Emily fan. I think we can all take a page out of her book. She meets up with Ashley and Ali, who were previous Bachelorettes. She receives her first date card, and the ladies head to a screening of Titanic in 3D. I’m totally excited to see it. I’m not going to lie. Does that movie ever get old? By the way, I don’t think there’s any way to really look sexy in 3D glasses. 

Back to the current Bachelor, Kacie surprises Ben by making a re-appearance. This seems to be a new trend on "The Bachelor." They like to bring back the oldies. They sit down for a conversation. She says that she wants answers. Ben tells her that he felt like their backgrounds were so drastically different that he couldn’t provide what she needed from him. He says that she didn’t do anything wrong, but that in the end, it wouldn’t have worked because they came from such different families. 

I think that it’s important for her to have this conversation, but at the same time, I do think Ben made the right decision. I think that starting your life with someone by making your family angry is a tough way to go. Are you with me?

She also issues a warning about Courtney, saying that she will break his heart.

Ben and Chris sit down for a little chat and Ben talks about his confusion over Courtney. Ben starts really questioning himself. 

At the rose ceremony, Chris brings the girls in individually. I’m sure the three of them feel pretty uncomfortable at this point. 

He gives Lindzi a rose first, and then Courtney. Nicki ends up being sent home. Even though I don’t think that they had the most natural chemistry, I’m sad to see her go! She’s such a sweet person.
