Bekah Martinez and Seinne Fleming are two bachelorettes who outshined the competition in more ways than one during Arie Luyendyk Jr.'s second week of The Bachelor dates.

Bekah, a 22-year-old free spirit and nanny from Fresno, CA, and Seinne, a 27-year-old commercial real estate manager and Yale graduate from Newport Beach, CA, both accompanied Arie on a massive group date during the latest episode of The Bachelor.
The girls were required to decorate old cars and then smash into one another in an aggressive yet fun demolition derby, and Seinne was ultimately crowned the winner.
During the night portion of the date, Arie had personal conversations with each woman and attempted to get to know everyone better.
"I was absolutely floored by Seinne. That such a worldly, cool, gorgeous, Ivy League-educated woman would spend this time with me put the whole experience into perspective," Arie wrote in his People blog.

"I found myself wondering if she was totally out of my league. I didn't want our conversation to end. That's why I knew she was right choice for the rose."
But Arie's connection with Bekah also grew leaps and bounds that night. Although she didn't receive the group-date rose, Arie acknowledged she might just be the total package when it comes to his ideal partner in life.
"My chemistry with Bekah M. was off the charts. I was apparently able to make up for the 'excitement makes me excited' line," Arie wrote, recalling his nervous answer on Night 1 when the brunette beauty asked him to name a few things that make him excited.
"I can't say I've ever dated anyone like Bekah. She's so smart, charming, and charismatic."
Viewers also saw Arie and Bekah engage in an incredibly passionate and steamy make out session.

"As far as our kiss -- well, I feel like the kiss says it all," Arie gushed in his blog.
Another standout in Arie's mind was Chelsea Roy, who became a little less mysterious during the group date by opening up to Arie.
"Chelsea pulled me first at the afterparty. Reading a lot of your tweets, I know that Chelsea got flack for pulling me twice, but from my perspective I didn't really see any of the drama unfolding," admitted the 36-year-old pro racing driver turned real estate agent.
"All I saw was a beautiful woman eager to spend time with me, and I liked that. Learning about her son, Sammy, was so humbling. She left behind so much to meet me, and her aggressiveness just further proves how seriously she's taking getting to know me."
By the end of the episode, Arie eliminated Jenny Delaney, Lauren Griffin and Valerie Biles, leaving 15 women in the running for his heart on Season 22 of the ABC reality dating series.
