Ben Flajnik returns to his hometown, San Francisco, with the 16 remaining Bachelorettes and goes skiing with 11 of them. He takes another to City Hall, where they're serenaded by singer-songwriter Matt Nathanson. There's also a cocktail-party crasher, a woman who already knows Ben and wants to add her name to his list of romantic possibilities, much to the displeasure of the other Bachelorettes. One woman faints and another breaks down in tears at the rose ceremony. When it's over, only 13 women end up with roses. Read Wetpaint Entertainment's full recap here.
