The Bachelor star Juan Pablo Galavis enjoyed overnight fantasy-suite dates with each of his Top 3 bachelorettes, and while one of them dumped him afterwards, two women admitted they had fallen madly in love during Tuesday night's broadcast on ABC.

Andi Dorfman, a 26-year-old federal prosecutor from Atlanta, GA, quit the competition after realizing Juan Pablo had a long list of bad qualities she just couldn't stand or accept. Andi acknowledged her fantasy-suite date was just a "disaster" and had changed her perspective on everything.

On the contrary, Nikki Ferrell, a 26-year-old pediatric nurse from Kansas City, MO, and Clare Crawley, a 32-year-old hairstylist from Sacramento, CA, fell in love with and professed those feelings to Juan Pablo during their overnight dates. Both women ended up receiving a rose, which they gladly accepted.

"It's bittersweet, you know, I'm sad for Andi and I'm sad about that, but I'm happy and I'm hopeful. [Juan Pablo] kind of always asked, 'Why are you and Andi such good friends?' And I said, 'Well, we're kind of like the same person.' But not in this case. I want to be here and I see something with him, and I know that he's a guy that I want to spend the rest of my life with," Nikki told the cameras.

"Andi being gone, my perspective is that now that he's down to Nikki and I, her and I are completely different women," Clare said in a confessional. "So I think this is going to be very telling about Juan Pablo as a person, kind of which direction he goes in. As much as I love St. Lucia, I'm ready to leave here an engaged woman and I just can't wait to find out if it's me."

The Bachelor's ninth eighteenth-season episode began with the pack traveling to St. Lucia and looking forward to full day and night dates. If the women chose to forgo their individual rooms and stay with Juan Pablo in the fantasy suite, the cameras would leave and the couples would have nothing but privacy.

Clare went on the first date of the week and said it was like a dream she was falling in love because she used to always be the girl on the outside looking in. They spent the day on a big yacht, snuggling and swimming.

However, Clare was going back and forth in her mind about potentially spending the night with Juan Pablo in the fantasy suite. She knew he wanted to set an example for his four-year-old daughter Camila, and so she wasn't sure if staying the night with Juan Pablo would be the best idea considering he previously regretted taking a late-night ocean swim with her.

During their date, Juan Pablo told Clare he loved her family, and she saw her future husband in him. Clare felt like she had known Juan Pablo for so long and she was definitely falling in love with him. She was scared about the possibility of that love being taken from her, and that was part of the reason she would be hesitant about accepting the fantasy-suite invitation.

Likewise, Juan Pablo told the cameras he needed to keep his eyes open and make sure he wasn't making any mistakes.

That night, Clare tried to talk more about Camila, saying she wanted to add love to the blended family and never wanted to step on Camila's mother's toes. If Juan Pablo was to choose Clare, she couldn't wait to have that type of conversation with his daughter.

When Clare was finally given the invitation to join Juan Pablo in the fantasy suite, she said what mattered to him mattered to her, and so she wanted to make sure he'd be okay with the decision as a father. They agreed they were on the same page and wanted to get to know one another better, so Clare said "yes" to the request.

"I've definitely fallen in love with Juan Pablo. That's why I'm still here. Juan Pablo has -- since the day he blindfolded me in the car and told me to trust him, I did. And telling somebody that you love them when they can't say it back feels really vulnerable. This entire journey for myself is going out on a huge limb and he has still not given me a reason to not believe him. Everything that he said to trust him about, I trust him," Clare said in a confessional. 

While sitting on a couch and drinking wine, Juan Pablo could tell Clare was thinking a lot, and so he asked what was on her mind.

Clare responded, "I'm just loving falling in love with you. And I am. And I know that you don't have to say anything back right now obviously, but everything has been from my heart and everything has been honest from me and it wouldn't be doing anything good to keep that to myself."

The couple kissed multiple times after Clare expressed her feelings. She said she didn't want to lose him and she wanted that next step with Juan Pablo, the man she wanted to marry and have children with. Clare never felt that way before and she realized she was only one week away from possibly becoming engaged.

The next day, Juan Pablo admitted to the cameras he did quite a bit of talking and cuddling with Clare but he was excited to spend the day with Andi.

Seeing Juan Pablo with her family warmed Andi's heart despite their concerns about the quickly-developing and risky relationship. During their date, Andi and Juan Pablo held hands, explored a village together and played drums. Juan Pablo loved how Andi always went with the flow and found the fun in every situation.

Andi got to see how Juan Pablo interacted with local children and she viewed that as "charming." She believed it was a window into seeing how he probably acts as a father. The couple then played soccer with the kids, took a ride in a land-buggy, and Juan Pablo surprised her by driving into a jungle where they found a quiet waterfall called Latille Falls.

Andi and Juan Pablo sat and talked over a picnic. The Bachelor expressed respect for her father's protection and hesitancy to give him permission to wed his daughter. Andi noted her feelings had changed drastically since the beginning of the process and she could see Juan Pablo fitting into her life.

That night, Juan Pablo chose to address his doubts about Andi. She had said during hometown dates she wanted to fall in love "so badly," so he was worried she might be pushing or forcing herself to fall in love with him. Juan Pablo believed that nothing that is forced could work, so he confronted her about the potential "misunderstanding."

Andi explained that wanting love badly was different from forcing it because a child was involved, which made the process very real and serious for her. Andi said she just worried a lot and tended to over-think things because it just meant a lot to her. Juan Pablo thought her answer sounded great and he was ready to move on because his concerns had been cleared up.

Andi liked the fact Juan Pablo listened to her, and the Bachelor noted he was very observant and tried to pick up on every little detail because he needed to make all the right choices for himself and his daughter. Andi wondered if Juan Pablo thought she'd make a good mother, and while he admitted he wasn't sure about that, he trusted her and could see her fitting into his life very well.

Andi then accepted her invitation to the fantasy suite. She had a great day with him, and if Juan Pablo was taking things seriously, she had the desire to learn more about him. Andi said she was on "Cloud 9" and couldn't stop smiling. She felt an overwhelming sense of "fortune" and could picture "forever" with Juan Pablo, a dream she could "never even fathom."

Likewise, Juan Pablo told the cameras he felt amazing about Andi and found her to be "wife material."

The next morning, however, Andi admitted her night with Juan Pablo was a nightmare and she couldn't wait to leave him.

Later on, Juan Pablo embarked on his date with Nikki. They rode horses through grassy fields and she hoped he hadn't forgotten about her because it had been awhile since they last saw each other. Juan Pablo reiterated how he thought Nikki was pretty, sexy and a great kisser. Nikki believed their relationship was based off of honesty, and she was looking forward to having a strong man with her to match her own strong nature.

The couple shared a picnic on the beach, and Juan Pablo told her that her father needed him to be 100 percent certain before ever proposing to Nikki. Nikki began to worry right then and there because she felt that was a sign Juan Pablo wasn't sure about her yet.

However, Juan Pablo tried to reassure his feelings for Nikki, and she was convinced they had "something real." She was crazy about him but feared getting hurt, so she was scared to actually come out and say, "I love you."

That night, Nikki and Juan Pablo drank wine by a fire and Juan Pablo could tell Nikki was concentrating on something. She said her "wheels were turning" because Juan Pablo had previously asked her is she "was ready for this." Nikki wondered whether that signified Juan Pablo was having doubts about her, but he insisted that wasn't the case. He just wanted to make sure she was prepared for a possibly engagement and becoming a big part of his life.

Nikki then accepted the fantasy-suite invitation, and Juan Pablo happily noted they'd "finally" get some privacy. Juan Pablo told the cameras she could be a great partner for him because besides her looks and smarts, she cared about people.

Nikki then decided to express her feelings more openly with The Bachelor star.

"This means a lot to me, being here, and I wouldn't be here if I didn't feel the way I do. And I love you, and I think you probably already know that, but it's taken a lot for me to say it," Nikki told Juan Pablo with a big smile on her face.

Juan Pablo admitted he actually didn't know that Nikki loved him. He had assumed she just liked him a lot. Juan Pablo didn't know what to say in return, but Nikki felt wonderful and wanted the moment to last forever. Juan Pablo loved kissing Nikki and he couldn't wait to spend more time with her in the fantasy suite so she could see "the real him."

Afterward, Juan Pablo met with host Chris Harrison before the Rose Ceremony and said he didn't know what to do. Juan Pablo was scared to send the wrong woman home because he didn't want to end his journey with any regrets.

Juan Pablo told Chris he was feeling "very, very good" about his bachelorettes, insisting to a confused Chris that that meant he felt strongly for them. Juan Pablo then received a taped message from each remaining bachelorette. The girls reiterated their feelings for him in the videos, but Andi asked to speak with him in person to share her thoughts and emotions.

Juan Pablo was shocked that Andi wanted to go home, but he still had two women left who apparently loved him.

The Rose Ceremony then commenced and Juan Pablo briefly explained to the girls that Andi chose to quit. Nikki, who was Andi's friend throughout the show, wondered what happened and what she may not have been seeing in The Bachelor star. However, she trusted her connection with him and chose to focus solely on that.

Before handing out his two roses to Clare and Nikki, Juan Pablo asked the girls to always come forward with any questions they may have for him and to not accept a rose if they didn't truly want to be with him in the future. Both women accepted a rose.
