Sarah Welch, Sarah B., and Krisily all arrive in Aruba to find out that each of them will be going on a romantic date with Charlie O’ Connell. On Sarah W. and Charlie’s date, they hang out on the beach, take a bus trip, have dinner on the beach, and engage in a late night swim off. On Sarah B. and Charlie’s date, they go on a sailboat, have dinner by the pool, and go back to Charlie’s hotel room. However, Sarah B. refuses to stay overnight in Charlie’s room. On Krisily and Charlie’s date, they go to a private island, go snorkeling, watch the sunset on a sailboat, have dinner on a pier, and go back back to Charlie’s hotel room. Krisily does wind up sleeping over in Charlie’s room, but not before making it clear that he needs to give her a rose at the upcoming rose ceremony.
Before the rose ceremony, Sarah Welch announces that "If Charlie decided to not give me a rose, then he’s an idiot, because I’m a great catch." During the rose ceremony, Charlie apparently forgets there are two women named Sarah and initially only calls out the first name "Sarah." As the two Sarahs exchange confused looks, Charlie clarifies that he means Sarah B. After giving the first rose to Sarah B, Charlie gives his last rose to Krisily.
Sarah Welch is dazed and confused over Charlie’s decision to eliminate her. Charlie explains that there were times when they got along but that there were also awkward moments. The awkward moments were what led him to choose the other girls. Sarah Welch then expresses her opinion that "Charlie just wasted two roses…Charlies made a huge mistake…It just sickens me." Sarah then went on to theorize why Charlie didn’t pick her saying, "People hate me because I’m beautiful..It’s a curse as much as a blessing to be pretty….If I had just been a little uglier."
