The first date was with resident virgin Colton, a former pro football player and the ex-boyfriend of gymnast Aly Raisman and former The Bachelor contestant Tia Booth.
The couple took a boat ride, performing the classic Titanic move on deck.
Snuggles in the sunshine were followed by diving for conch, a.k.a. 'the Bahamian Viagra.'

'I'm really impressed with Colton, he really knows how to work that conch,' cooed Becca.
Adding: 'I don't think Colton and I need any aphrodisiacs.'
At dinner he dropped the bombshell.
Really impressed: The brunette beauty said she was 'really impressed' with Colton

Adding: 'I still am a virgin.'
'Really?' she asked incredulously.

While she stared wistfully across the bay, Colton fretted at the table.
All alone: Becca stepped away after the big revelation and left Colton alone at the dinner table
'I'm scared,' he said.
On her return Becca probed him gently about the matter.
'In the past I was scared, I was ashamed, because growing up in a locker-room environment isn't the easiest for a guy like me,' he said.
Deep thought: The news apparently shocked Becca as she excused herself and went outside
'I made up a lot of lies just to fit in…I'm waiting for the right heart…I want it to be a special moment…I want that to be a gift to give to somebody,' he continued.
'I respect you for that so much,' she said, before giving him a rose.
Garrett Yrigoyen, a 29-year-old medical sales rep from Nevada, got the next one-on-one.

They took a seaplane over the aquamarine waters, popping champagne and smooching as they went.
'He has such a sexy, playful side to him,' she grinned as they frolicked on the beach.
'I think we can be perfect together,' predicted Garrett, who has been criticized for his 'likes' of transphobic and fat-shaming memes on Instagram.

'I was young and probably a little immature, just coming out of college,' he explained.
Former wife: Garrett was quizzed by Becca about his ex-wife
'She's so hot-blooded, like screaming and yelling,' he added.
'Everything that I see in you is everything that I'm looking for in a wife…I'm beginning to fall in love with you,' he assured her.
'I'm excited to meet your family,' she told Garrett as she gave him the rose.

The three-on-one date consisted of beach volleyball with Jason Tartick, a 29-year-old banker from New York, plus Wills and Leo.
Leo told Becca he wasn't quite ready to get down on one knee, which 'scared' her into rejecting him.

She then asked Jason why he hadn't been more 'vocal with his feelings.'
'There is still a slight risk with you,' she decided, but she gave him the rose anyway during a rose ceremony.
Wills was left devastated.
Speak up: Becca asked Jason why he wasn't being more 'vocal with his feelings'
'I'm absolutely wrecked right now…I thought she cared about me like I cared about her,' he lamented in the car.
'I'm absolutely heartbroken, to give someone your heart and then have them say ''no thanks,'' which is what she did,' he added, with his head in his hands.
Wills was so upset he stopped the car to sob on the side of the street.
