The six remaining ladies are told to start packing their bags because three of them will be leaving the Bachelor Pad. How do you cushion such harsh news? By playing spin the bottle, of course! The first guy to have the bottle land on them will pick a partner for remainder of the competition. Kiptyn is up first and it's no surprise that he chooses Tenley. This has Nikki totally ticked because she previously saved the Kip-man from elimination. Next up is Kovacs. We are fools to think that he may actually ditch the girl who has put him on the chopping block multiple times. Love conquers all though and Kovacs chooses Elizabeth. Beck has history with Natalie and Peyton. But he doesn't know about the secret relationship between Natalie and Dave. Natalie was afraid Beck would pick her, but he ultimately chooses Peyton. And Natalie gets her wish when David selects her. Since Nikki, Gwen and Ashley were not picked by any of the guys, they are all heading home. Spin the bottle can be such a brutal game.
