Anyway, she's not giving him the rose, and there was much rejoicing. "That is very shocking," says Ryan, eventually, after the signals have gotten all the way into his brain. He says he didn't see it coming, because of the time they spent together, and their potential. Give him credit, I can't recall ever seeing a rejected candidate continue to sell himself for so long after he has been rejected, even if it's just completely incomprehensible statements like he thinks Emily is rejecting him because he's perfect for her.

Just as you're cheering Emily for giving the douchebag his walking papers, her spine disappears and she admits that she's not sure she is making the right decision, so he asks her why not give him a chance to show her what kind of man he is? We go to commercial with his elimination in doubt...

...and when we come back, we listen to the other guys discuss whether they think Ryan's coming back. "Do I want Ryan to come home? Let me think about that, NO," says "Jef" in a talking-head. Some of the guys think he's coming home because he's a good salesman. Arie's confident that she'll see through the guy, but if she doesn't, then there's some things he's going to have bring to her attention.

Back at dinner, Ryan continues with the eleventh-hour sales pitch, and Emily warbles out a bunch of nonsense about her own insecurity making her wonder if she's not the one to make him happy. Again, she says, she can't give him the rose.

Ryan says he wishes her happiness, tells her again he thinks she's making a mistake, but when it's clear she's not going to change her mind, they get up and she walks him out. She tells him this is the first time she hasn't been a hundred per cent confident in her decision. "Trust yourself," he says. Well, that's nice -- oh, he means trust her doubts, because as he hugs her goodbye he tells her she's making the wrong decision.

Really amusingly, we get to see the delight and high-giving and fucking HUGGING going on when the guys see Ryan's suitcase taken out of the hotel, which is contrasted by Ryan talking about how shocked the other guys are going to be to see him go. After all, he tells us, as we watch him hail a taxi, when you look at Ryan, you're looking at a winner.
