There are 13 ladies left as Juan Pablo continues his journey as The Bachelor. For this week's episode the girls packed their bags and headed off to Seoul, South Korea. They were ecstatic to be heading out on a new journey. As Clare exclaimed with giggly excitement, "I don't even have a kimono!"...We'll just leave that.

A few women were selected for the first group date in Seoul, which means they will not be going on a one-on-one date. Nikki was disappointed and she became visibly upset when the date card was read. Her spirits would hopefully be lifted as the group headed out for a day of "Gangnam Style" dancing with South Korean K-pop stars 2NE1.

Yeah, they definitely weren't. Nikki took every moment to explain not only why she was pissed the other girls were there, but also after they found out they would be performing live with 2NE1, her frustration reached a new level as she explained the prominent fear of crapping her pants. Maybe not the definition of a "good sport," considering she did willingly sign up for the whole charade.

Juan Pablo and his eligible ladies hit the stage in full Korean-pop wardrobe to dance with the 2NE1. Some clearly embraced it and had a blast. Kat stole the show, adding in some of her own dance moves, and surprise surprise, the other women weren't pleased that the 29-year-old took the opportunity to strut her stuff.

It was only a matter of time before some of the ladies would feel the need to share how they believe someone in the group (Nikki) might not be genuine. And of course, it's just because they truly care about his best interest, not because they might want a little more attention for themselves. But it looks like their expression backfired.

The first rose at the end of the group date in Korea went to Nikki.

The reserved and resistant opera singer, Sharleen, got the one-on-one date. They explored an open Korean market, purchased a traditional dress for Juan Pablo's daughter Camila and tried some of the native cuisine. Finally, Sharleen shared some of her vocal chops for the bachelor, although, naturally, it swiftly transitioned into a make out session.

At first it appeared that Sharleen's hesitance about her relationship with Juan Pablo shifted, but then a conversation about having children created some new tension. Regardless, she was presented with a rose.

The next group date commenced with a trip to a festive Korean karaoke establishment, some paddle boating and a traditional session of the fish-nibbling-on-your-feet spa treatment.

At the end of the date, during cocktails and leading up to the group date rose, Juan Pablo said he wants to hold back on kissing any more girls for now in order to be a good example for his daughter. That definitely caused some confusion in the group and even led to tears, considering he hasn't held out until now and some have been left high and dry.

Then, moments later that whole policy went out the window when he kissed Clare. This happened directly after she admitted to throwing up in her mouth and swallowing it earlier in the day when she tried octopus for the first time. Maybe the other girls just aren't taking the right approach. But Andi got the rose for the date.

At the end cocktail party things got a little weird, and it wasn't just when Nikki claimed that according to "science," it's a proven fact that guys make eye contact when they like someone and girls look away.

Beyond that, it's become quite clear that the women know each other just well enough in week four to decide which ones they hate and which ones are confidants. In the end, Elise and Lauren S. were left without a rose and had to head back to the U.S.

Next week Juan Pablo and the remaining women head to Vietnam.
