the honeymoon city // jennedy

Jude was amazed by Kennedy week after week, even when they didn’t have one on one dates. She was sweet and warm and kind and all the thought she paid to Bee’s feelings throughout all of this was something Jude especially appreciated about her. Kennedy’s attention to all things that mattered most to Jude showed him just how much she cared. She was willing to be vulnerable around him, to show him the side of her that wasn’t all glammed up for the cameras, and most of all, she sought him out after a tough time in the competition just to make sure he was okay. He wasn’t ready to let go of her. In fact, he wanted to keep progressing with her - and to do that, he was taking her to some of the most romantic spots in Venice.

He’d be meeting her outside of the museum where they were starting their day, and he was glad that their activities were mostly all inside because on this particular day, it was raining. He stood with a massive umbrella over his head, waiting near the curb in his khakis and his button down shirt so he could share the umbrella with Kennedy when her cab pulled up. He couldn’t wait to see her in yet another romantic city and share all the beauty with her.

second chances / tyde

Jude knew that keeping Tyson around after the cheating incident was a big risk. He knew it could make the other five dislike him or wonder whether he was the guy they thought they knew, but for Jude it was worth it. Tyson had been upset by what happened, he’d owned up to it, and he’d apologized. He opened up to Jude week after week, showing him all his flaws and weaknesses. Tyson was an extraordinary man who trusted Jude more than someone else in his shoes might. Jude didn’t take that for granted. He wanted to give Tyson another chance, even amidst rumors that Tyson and Carmen were going to keep in touch, because Tyson was sweet, and he was good.

Jude was meeting Tyson outside of their hotel, and he stood on a cobblestone sidewalk facing the awning and the magnificent lobby in his best jeans and button down shirt in hopes of looking casual, but dressed up. It was a strange line to walk - they’d be doing a little of everything on this date today. Jude’s hair was tied back in a ponytail at the nape of his neck and he waited eagerly for Tyson to join him downstairs.

the rising tide // jarissa

Jude was incredibly excited for the time that he'd get with the top six in Italy. He knew there would be a controversy over who he chose for that top six but Jude knew what he was doing. He was totally committed to these people and getting to know them. They were beyond that now, too. Now he was really building relationships and figuring out who would be his future spouse. They were here somewhere, and Jude could feel it. 

The first date of the week would go to Marisa, and Jude was grinning ear to ear as he was let into her hotel room to surprise her. He crept past her roommate, whoever she was, and up to Marissa's bed where she was still asleep. With a smile on his face, Jude reached out to tickle Marissa a little. Then he tucked her hair behind her ear and leaned in to kiss her forehead. "Wake up sleepyhead," he whispered, trying to wake her up so they could get to their first spot before sunrise.
