Eazy Tells All About that 'Bachelorette' Dodgeball Date
As the saying from the beloved film "Dodgeball" goes, "If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball." But what about when it comes to strip dodgeball?
No wrenches were present on this "Bachelorette" date, but some looks were dodged as the men on the group date stripped down to near nakedness as competition for Clare Crawley's heart heated up.
One of the date goers, Eazy, opened up to Rachel Lindsay and Becca Kufrin on "Bachelor Happy Hour" about the experience and how it was "all in good fun." Eazy explained that when the guys arrived for the group date and started practicing with Clare, "it was fun, and fun and games."
Everything changed when Chris Harrison announced the winners would get extra time with Clare while the losing team would be sent home.
Eazy shared, "Once Chris Harrison said we’re playing for extra time with Clare, you can see everybody’s face. It’s game faces. We’re strategizing. Joe is taking us through line drills outside. Garin is practicing his run up. We’re practicing strategy and match-ups. We’re analyzing every single person."
The pressure for more one-on-one time with Clare "amps everything up," and then add in the strip dodgeball element, and "that ups it a whole other level."
Eazy said, "Everybody knew what we were playing for. It was okay to everybody. I knew I don’t want to lose because I don’t want to let my balls hang right now. Everybody knew what was going on. To everybody on that date, at least to me, everybody felt okay with what we were doing."
He continued, "We knew what we signed up for. It was all in good fun. It was fun on my part because I won. Everything was fine. It took a turn when the guys walked home and all that type of stuff. I think everybody that was on that date thought, 'That was funny, that was a crazy date.' A lot was on the line."
Becca agreed with Eazy's assessment, saying, "It didn't seem overly sexualized. It was all in good fun."
The three of them agreed that Kenny wanted to lose so he could show off his abs and toned physique.
Eazy joked, "Kenny beat the system. He lost and he was like, 'Let’s show everyone what I got.' Oh, my goodness!"
