   Advanced Leagues

   Episode 11

   Top Scorer: Rachael (+81)

   Michelle (+20): +15 First person to meet a member of Matt’s family, +5 Kisses Matt, +10 Kiss outside in the rain or snow (on top of kissing bonus), +5 Contestant is chosen for a date, +5 Contestant is chosen for a 1-on-1 date (on top of date normal date points), -20 Dumped/leaves outside of a rose ceremony

   Rachael (+81): +20 First contestant Matt says “I love you” to (on top of “I love you” bonus), +15 Matt tells contestant “I love you”,+5 Kisses Matt, +15 Has 1 on 1 conversation with Chris Harrison, +11 Contestant receives rose (with points equal to the episode number (episode 1 = 1 point, episode 2 = 2 points, etc.)), +5 Contestant is chosen for a date, +5 Contestant is chosen for a 1-on-1 date (on top of date normal date points), +5 Reads the date card

   Scoring notes:

   • Rachael kisses Matt outside, but it was not snowing, so she only gets regular kissing points.
   • Michelle & Rachael were not given “Chosen for a date” points for meeting Matt’s family, as it was not a date.
   • While Rachael’s date was cancelled, she was automatically chosen for one by being in the final two, so she still receives points for “being chosen for a date”
   • Rachael did read a traditional date card, so she got date card points, but the proposal was not an actual date, so did not receive an additional “chosen for date points”

   Scoring updates:

   • N/A

   Advanced Leagues

   Episode 10

   Top Scorer: Michelle (+125)

   Bri (+80): +5 Contestant gives Matt a wraparound/jump & straddle hug (Matt picks up contestant and she wraps her legs around Matt), +5 Uses the word “connection” or “journey”, +5 Kisses Matt, +5 Kisses Matt on a bed (both contestant and Matt must be on the bed)(on top of kissing bonus), +10 Matt is shirtless on a date with contestant, +10 Naked in front of The Bachelor (Fantasy Suite = naked, unless explicitly said otherwise), +5 Contestant is chosen for a date, +5 Contestant is chosen for a 1-on-1 date (on top of date normal date points), +5 Reads the date card, +15 Contestant is seen popping a bottle of champagne, -5 Contestant is bleeped out, +15 Has 1 on 1 conversation with Chris Harrison, +5 Contestant is seen eating (food must be seen entering mouth)

   Michelle (+125): +15 First Fantasy Suite date to air, +20 First person to say “I love you” to Matt, +5 Kisses Matt, +5 Kisses Matt on a bed (both contestant and Matt must be on the bed)(on top of kissing bonus), +10 Matt is shirtless on a date with contestant, +10 Naked in front of The Bachelor (Fantasy Suite = naked, unless explicitly said otherwise), +10 Kiss outside in the rain or snow (on top of kissing bonus), +5 Contestant is chosen for a date, +5 Contestant is chosen for a 1-on-1 date (on top of date normal date points), +5 Contestant says “I’m here for you/him/Matt” , +15 Has 1 on 1 conversation with Chris Harrison, +10 Contestant receives rose (with points equal to the episode number (episode 1 = 1 point, episode 2 = 2 points, etc.)), +10 Kisses Matt in water (both contestant & Matt in ocean/pool/hot tub)(on top of kissing bonus)

   Rachael (+75): +5 Kisses Matt, +5 Contestant is chosen for a date, +5 Contestant is chosen for a 1-on-1 date (on top of date normal date points), +5 Kisses Matt on a bed (both contestant and Matt must be on the bed)(on top of kissing bonus), +15 Has 1 on 1 conversation with Chris Harrison, +15 Date includes fireworks, +10 Contestant receives rose (with points equal to the episode number (episode 1 = 1 point, episode 2 = 2 points, etc.)), +10 Naked in front of The Bachelor (Fantasy Suite = naked, unless explicitly said otherwise), +5 Uses the word “connection” or “journey”

   Scoring notes:

   • Michelle and Matt were seen kidding outside in the rain under an umbrella. As such, she earned points for kissing outside in the show or rain.
   • Michelle is seen giving Matt some of the spa oatmeal and it is seen on his lip, so she was given points for feeding Matt.
   • Fantasy Suite cards do not count as date cards, so the ladies were not awarded points when they read the fantasy suite invitations.
   • Michelle was shown in a bathtub with Matt, but we did not count that as a hot tub because it did not resemble a hot tub.
     
   • Michelle and Matt kissed in a milk bath (not water) so no kissing in water points.
   • Matt tells Rachael that he is falling in love with her, but not “I love you”, so Rachael did not receive points for that.
   • Matt was not counted as being shirtless on the date with Rachael, as we did not see that occur. The naked fantasy suite points are different because the rule explicitly states that these will be counted unless explicitly stated that the contestant was not naked in front of The Bachelor.
   • Michelle was the first contestant to say “I love you” directly to Matt, so she was awarded points this week for that. Rachael previously earned points for being the first one to say they love Matt in Episode 7, but those two rules are different and separate.
     

    

   Scoring updates:

   • 3/10/21:
     • We mistakenly forgot to award Rachael points for being naked in front of The Bachelor. We have awarded her +10 points for that.
     • We removed Michelle’s points for feeding Matt, as the oatmeal that she put on his lip was not actually seen going into his mouth, it was just seen on his lip. She was docked -10 points from her original score.
     • We decided to award Michelle +10 points for kissing Matt in water, as milk is mostly water and they kissed in a tub with milk in it.
   • 3/11/21:
     • Rachael was awarded +5 points for saying the word “connection” at the beginning of her date.

3. Week 9 - March 1, 2021 - Women Tell All

   Because week 9 was only Women Tell All with no regular season segments, there were no points awarded for this episode. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us on Twitter, Facebook, or on our contact form.

   First Impression and Rose to Rose Leagues

   Week 9’s episode did not include any regular season segments and no rose ceremony. As such, your picks for RC 9 have not yet been scored, but will be scored next week once the Rose Ceremony occurs.

   Advanced Leagues

   Because no regular season segments were shown, there will be no points awarded or penalized for episode 9. Lock in your picks for episode 10 which will be scored after next week’s episode!

4. Week 8 - February 22, 2021

   We have scored all week eight leagues. Please see below for our scoring breakdowns and if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us on Twitter, Facebook, or on our contact form.

   Scoring notes:

   • We saw one of Michelle’s students ask if Matt was her boyfriend, but she did not respond to that, so she did not get points for referring to him as her boyfriend.
   • Michelle says “I love what I see” to Matt, but not “I love you” so she did not get points for that.
   • Michelle and Bri say they are “falling in love” with Matt but not that they “love” him, so they did not get points for telling Matt they love him.
   • Rachael and Matt skydived out of an airplane, not a helicopter, so they did not get points for having the first helicopter ride.

   Scoring updates:

   • 2/23/2021:
     • We have deducted 20 points from Serena P’s score for leaving outside of a rose ceremony.

   Scoring notes:

   • If the spirit of something is said but does not match what is in the quotes, then points are not awarded/penalized
   • During the RC Abigail says “he could see a future with me,” not the other way around so does not get points
   • Abigail says “I can see the possibility of a future with you,” which contains all of the words from the quoted phrase and the word possibility does not change the meaning of the phrase, so she gets points!

   Scoring updates:

   • 2/22/2021: Rachael was awarded +20 points for saying she loves Matt.

   Scoring notes:

   • Jessenia says “I’m there for you 100%” not “I’m here for you” so she did not receive points for that.
   • Jessenia and MJ’s date counts as a group date because there was more than one person on the date (Merriam Webster’s dictionary defines a group as ‘two or more figures forming a complete unit in a composition’. As such, the first seen hugging Matt on the group date was Jessenia, who got awarded points for that.
   • Pieper says that she is “falling in love” with Matt, but not that she is “in love” with Matt, so no points were awarded for that.
   • Pieper says “I do see a future with Matt” but not “I can see a future with Matt” verbatim, so she did not receive points for that.
   • Previews do not count as part of the regular episode / for scoring, so any bleeping shown only in a preview would not lose that contestant any points.
   • Both Pieper and Michelle received two roses (one during the RC5, the other during a different date), so they received 6 points per rose, for a total of 12 points for receiving roses.
   • We ran a public pool on Instagram @bachbracket to see if we should award the ladies that lost the bowling group date got another date card inviting them back to the date. Our followers voted and decided that No, those ladies should not get double the points for getting chosen for the night portion of the date, since it was the same date technically.

   Scoring updates:

   2/9/2021:

   • Pieper was awarded five points for using the word “connection” or “journey” on her date.
   • Rachael was awarded five points for reading another date card, for a total of two date cards in the episode. These are points that can be earned multiple times per contestant in any episode.

   Victoria (0): -5 Contestant is bleeped out, 5 Uses the word “connection” or “journey”

   Scoring notes:

   • Matt saying he’s “falling in love” with Rachael does not count for “I love you” points.
   • While Kit’s “I’m starting to fall in love with you” is debateable because of the “starting,” it’s a first time rule and Rachael beat her to it, so no points awarded.
   • Jessenia and MJ are read a date card and pack their suitcases because they are headed to a 2-on-1 date, so although not a traditional date, we are giving points and penalizing points for being chosen for a date and going on a 2-on-1 date, respectively.
   • Friendly reminder: anything that happens in previews or flashbacks, are not scored in the current episode!
   • On the group date Matt is seen hugging MJ, but MJ does not hug Matt back, so Pieper wins points for being the first to “be seen hugging Matt during a group date”

   Scoring updates:

   2/2/2021:

   • Kit was awarded an extra +5 points because of the second rose she was given during the episode.
   • Pieper was seen with a rose from last week’s group date, but we never actually saw Matt giving her that rose. We polled followers on Instagram and Twitter, and on both social channels, users favored Pieper getting awarded points for receiving a rose in this episode. So, we have awarded her +5 points for getting the rose.

   2/7/2021:

   • Victoria was awarded +5 points for using the word “connection” or “journey”

   2/8/2021

   • Chelsea was awarded +5 points for using the word “connection” or “journey”
   • Brittany was awarded +5 points for using the word “connection” or “journey”

   Scoring notes:

   Brittany stole Matt away from another contestant, but the new contestants were not available to be chosen for this week’s episode, so no points were awarded to any of them. This applies to any other rules that the new contestants would have otherwise gotten points for.

   Anna said that Brittany was not here for Matt, but she did not say that Brittany was “not here for the right reasons” so she did not get awarded points for that.

   Bri got two roses in last night’s episode, one at the Rose Ceremony and one during the group date, so she did get double the points for receiving roses.

   Magi did not get points for dancing with Matt because she watched him dance rather than standing and dancing with him.

   Scoring updates:

   1/26 10:44 AM PT:

   We awarded points for the seven ladies that were on the group date in the very beginning of the episode. Those ladies were not awarded points in Episode 3 because the date card was not read out loud.

   • Jessenia +5
   • Chelsea +5
   • Magi +5
   • MJ +5
   • Mari +5
   • Pieper +5
   • Abigail +5

   1/26 5:00 PM PT:

   • MJ was awarded points for saying “Contestant says ‘I’m here for you/him/Matt'”
   • Katie was awarded points for saying “connection”
   • Mari was awarded points for saying “I’m here for him”

   Scoring notes:

   Because there was no ambulance seen, Sarah was not penalized for having an ambulance called as there is no way to distinguish on-site medics from outside emergency personnel.

   While Serena P. moved forward during rose ceremony 2, she was not shown receiving a rose during the actual episode (this week or last), so she does not get points for receiving a rose.

   While Katie did ask to take her time back from Sarah during the group date, she did not ask to “steal” Matt and so did not get points for “contestant asks if they can ‘steal’ Matt away from another contestant”

   Mistakenly, the “date includes animals” rule did not make it in this season. We are heartbroken. We cannot change rules mid-season, but this will be re-added to future seasons.

   Serena P. says “I could see myself potentially falling in love with you,” which does not count for “I am falling in love with you/him/Matt” points.

   We saw Rachael open the date card, but did not hear her read the date card, so she was not awarded points.

   Scoring updates:

   1/19

   • Kit was given +5 points for her jump and straddle hug at the beginning of the group date

    Scoring notes:

    Some contestants are seen on planes, but they are not seen on a plane with Matt.

    Magi says “I super am ready to be in love” not “I am ready for love”

    Pointe shoes count as a costume vs. a prop

    Katie asked if she could sneak in and talk to Matt, but didn’t use the word “steal”

    MJ said she would like to “step in” and didn’t use the word “steal”

    Kit asks if she can “grab you” 

    Victoria asks if she can “interrupt” Matt and someone else but does not use the word “Steal”

    Someone sang off screen, but we could not confirm which contestant, so no one received points
