The latest episode of The Bachelor ended on a cliffhanger as one contestant had a panic attack and bachelor Chris Soules was too emotional to hold the show’s weekly rose ceremony, but ABC promises next week’s episode will tie up loose ends and put the show back on track. The network revealed that Soules will take one of the remaining nine contestants on a romantic horseback date through the famous Black Hills National Forest, and that two of the bachelorettes will get a helicopter view of Mount Rushmore.
On Monday night’s episode, Kelsey felt that “Britt’s date with Chris presented itself as a threat” to her relationship with this season’s bachelor, so she brought Soules aside and told him that her husband died in 2013 due to heart failure. The other contestants believed Kelsey would be the next to be eliminated from the hit show, but Kelsey hoped revealing that she’s a widow would keep her around for another week.
“Isn’t my story amazing?” she bragged. “It’s tragic, but it’s amazing. I love my story.”
While they did not reveal what will happen to Kelsey or whether or not there will be two rose ceremonies next week, ABC announced on Tuesday that Soules and the nine remaining contestants will visit Deadwood, South Dakota in the next epsiode. Two of the contestants will get to check out the Badlands, and will likely come across canyons, ravines, hoodoos and other geographical challenges. Soules will then choose a bachelorette to eat a campfire dinner with him, surrounded by the dense wilderness of the Black Hills National Forest.
Country singers Big & Rich will appear on the show while the contestants are in the wild west of Deadwood. The next episode of The Bachelor airs on ABC at 8 p.m. EST next Monday, Feb. 9.
