Emme welcomes the girls to elimination. Luke arrives, and Emme takes off as usual. He speechifies whatever the producers told him to say, and the first ring goes to ... Heather, of course. Tali, who is now the most invisible woman on this show since Mandy started to show up and cry a bunch, gets the next one. Melissa frets that if she's sent home now, it could be another 21 years before she finds another guy like Luke. Well, with that attitude, maybe. Malissa gets the third ring. Mandy gets the fourth. The ring-less girls are getting nervous. Kristian gets the fifth ring. THE HELL? Why? I don't get it. She's crazy! Crazy with a K! And Emme cuckoo-clocks back into the room to remind anyone who can't count that there is only one ring left. Lauren sneers. Anna cries. Melissa's entire future is riding on this. Since Anna and Melissa are crying in their interviews and Lauren isn't, I'm guessing she gets the ring. But no! It's Anna. Lauren just shrugs. And then sneers. Melissa's world crumbles around her. Emme cuckoo-clocks back into the room to tell them to say their good-byes. For all the shit Lauren talked, she takes her loss seemingly well and doesn't break down into tears or anything, which is why she is probably one of the women with self-confidence that Luke claimed to find attractive. She wishes him luck and walks out. She tells us, basically, that it's his loss. Which is the right attitude for this kind of thing. And Melissa gets more time with Luke, who says it was nice to meet her and she's great and all. But Melissa doesn't really believe any of that and maybe she should get some therapy when she gets home? Luke gets a group hug with his six remaining women, except that there are only five of them as Mandy was crushed under his arm.
