Episode 3 will feature eight women arriving at an arena where the live show "Pirates Dinner Adventure" takes place.
According to ABC, Colton will greet the bachelorettes in a full pirate outfit and introduce them to the professional performers in the show.
The pro performers will then dress the ladies appropriately and support them through a challenging pirate tutorial.
The theatrical date will ultimately star Caelynn and Tracy, who end up competing for the position of Colton's "first soul mate" -- as the crowd cheers them on.
Caelynn's competitive side continues to show through the night, teases ABC, as she and Hannah B. -- the beauty pageant rivals and former friends -- will spar at the group date's afterparty.
The girls will have "wildly conflicting claims about each other to Colton," ABC says.
According to Reality Steve spoiler blogger Steve Carbone, the following women will enjoy the pirate date: Caelynn, Courtney, Demi, Tracy, Katie, Heather, Hannah B. and Kirpa.
And Caelynn will reportedly receive Colton's coveted group-date rose at the afterparty, so he fierce attitude and aggressive approach to the competition apparently pays off!

For Colton's one-on-one date, the former pro football player and the lovely redhead in the cast, Elyse, will head to San Diego and enjoy a date at the historic amusement park, Belmont Park.
Elyse and Colton will take a romantic helicopter ride to San Diego and then land at Belmont Park, the oceanfront amusement park.
ABC says Colton will tease Elyse by telling her they are about to embark on a "group" date, but Elyse will come to find out he means a group of children!
The couple will spend the day at the park with children from various charities, and Elyse will allegedly be surprised and delighted.
The park will be shut down for Elyse and Colton for the whole day, but the childlike and exciting "atmosphere changes as the couple gets intimate during the evening part of the date when Elyse shares a heartbreaking story with Colton," ABC reveals.
Later that night, Colton will surprise his date with a performance by country music artist Tenille Arts, and she reportedly gets the rose.
Afterward, actor and former NFL Star Terry Crews and his wife Rebecca King-Crews will train eight different bachelorettes for a "Bachelor's Strongest Woman" event on a group date.

Colton will watch the women take on a tough workout session with Terry and his wife and then participate in exercise activities such as the "ring flip," the "cake push" and the "limo pull," according to ABC.

The three finalists then face off in the "heavy heart" race, hoisting a medicine ball representing Colton's heart onto a pedestal.
"A woman with an undeniable competitive spirit lifts the championship trophy, but will she capture the group date rose?" ABC teases.
"Another bombshell is dropped at the after party when the Bachelor leaves the women stunned by a sudden decision."
Carbone claims the women who will compete in the "Strongest Woman Challenge" are Nicole, Cassie, Caitlin, Onyeka, Tayshia, Sydney, Nina and Catherine.
In the end, Onyeka -- who has already shown herself to be strong in mind and body -- allegedly wins the challenge; however, Nicole somehow manages to snag the group-date rose instead.
During the afterparty on this date, Carbone reports Caitlin will get sent home because Colton just couldn't envision a forever kind of life with her.
Colton will then cancel the cocktail party and host a pool party instead, which allegedly reignites the cat fight between two enemies, Hannah B. and Caelynn.
Both girls competed for the title of Miss USA 2018. (Caelynn, Miss North Carolina, finished as the runner-up, but Hannah B., Miss Alabama, didn't even make the Top 15).
Hannah B. and Caelynn will "trash each other" to Colton in private conversations, leaving him "confused and conflicted," ABC says.
At the Rose Ceremony in Episode 3, Colton will reportedly oust the following bachelorettes: Catherine, Nina, and Bri.

During the fourth episode of Season 23, Colton and his bachelorettes will allegedly fly to Singapore, where both Caelynn and Tayshia are given one-on-one dates.
For Tayshia and Colton's date, the pair will test their limits and fears by going bungee jumping.
But Caelynn and Colton will have a very different date, and viewers can reportedly expect to see one of the most emotional, open and vulnerable conversations The Bachelor franchise has ever seen.
Chris Harrison has even refused to tease the conversation as "the most dramatic" one ever because he feels making a joke out of things does not do justice to Caelynn's story.
Carbone reports Caelynn will share a very personal and traumatic story in which she had been a victim of sexual assault on her college campus when she was 22 years old.
Caelynn has publicly discussed her past before because helping rape victims was actually her platform for the Miss USA pageant. Caelynn has made an effort to educate survivors given women may not know what to do after such encounters.
Because Caelynn opens up to Colton so freely, he will apparently share a big reveal from his own life as well.
For the group date in this episode, 13 bachelorettes will participate in something competitive, but Carbone is unsure of who walks away with the rose.

Colton will then have to break two more hearts on the road to finding his future wife, resulting in the eliminations of Courtney and Tracy.

The other one-on-one date will allegedly go to Heather, who will hopefully receive her first kiss ever.
And the group date will be comprised of eight bachelorettes -- Hannah B., Onyeka, Nicole, Elyse, Caelynn, Tayshia, Hannah G., Katie, Demi, Sydney, and Kirpa.
Carbone says Hannah B. will earn the group-date rose.
Colton probably thought his journey to find lasting love would be smooth for the most part, but then he gets blindsided and rejected.
According to Carbone, Elyse decides to quit the show during the fifth episode because she's just not feeling much of a spark with the Bachelor.
Elyse's exit will require Colton to subsequently send two more women packing, and those bachelorettes will allegedly be Nicole and Onyeka.

Episode 6 of The Bachelor will reportedly take place in Nha Trang, Vietnam, where Colton enjoys two solo dates with Hannah G. and Kirpa, who both receive roses on their respective dates.
The rest of the bachelorettes will reportedly go on a jungle-inspired group date, and then Demi will be eliminated after visiting Colton's hotel room.
Carbone says Colton did not reciprocate Demi's strong feelings, and so he decides to let her go ahead of the Rose Ceremony.
But again, Colton finds himself at the mercy of his bachelorettes and their feelings for him when Sydney decides to quit the show because she's also missing a solid connection with Colton.

"Katie tells [Colton] that Caelynn and Cassie were talking about being the Bachelorette, they weren't genuine, and they weren't here for him and he wasn't happy. But he sends Katie home at the rose ceremony," Carbone reports.
That will leave on seven girls in the running to become Colton's fiancee in Episode 7.

Tayshia, Caelynn and Hannah B. will each reportedly receive a one-on-one date with Colton during this episode.
Colton and Tayshia will walk around Union Station with Colton's dog Sniper and enjoy some drinks and ice cream.
Unfortunately for Hannah B., however, she gets eliminated during her one-on-one date, according to Carbone, but the other two ladies receive roses.
There will also reportedly be a four-on-one date during which Heather chooses to eliminate herself because she's not ready to introduce Colton to her family. (Yet another bachelorette who quits!)
Hannah G. allegedly receives the rose on this date, leaving a rose up for grabs between Kirpa and Cassie ahead of hometown dates.
At this point, Kirpa reportedly gets eliminated, but Carbone is unsure whether she goes home in the traditional sense at a Rose Ceremony.
That will determine Colton's Final 4 bachelorettes. According to Carbone, they are Hannah G., Cassie, Tayshia, and Caelynn.
These lucky four women will be shown taking the charity founder to their hometowns in order to meet their families and maybe even their friends.

Hannah G's date was taped in Birmingham, AL, on October 27, before Caelynn's date was taped in Fredericksburg, VA, on October 29, says Carbone.
Caelynn and Colton were spotted and photographed enjoying a horse-drawn carriage on Princess Anne Street during her hometown date.
And then Tayshia's date was reportedly filmed in Orange County, CA, on October 31, followed by Cassie's date in Huntington Beach, CA, on November 2.
Although she appears to be a frontrunner right now in the season, Colton allegedly eliminates beauty queen Caelynn in fourth place during a Rose Ceremony held in Los Angeles, CA.
Carbone claims Caelynn will likely become the next The Bachelorette star, as she has a heartwrenching story to share and will probably be viewed as very likeable by Bachelor Nation.
Colton and his Final 3 bachelorettes then reportedly travel to Sagres, Portugal, for the week of overnight Fantasy Suite dates, which will air in Episode 9 of The Bachelor's 23rd season.
There will be so much anticipation leading up to Colton's Fantasy Suite dates since he is a virgin and couples often have sex when the cameras leave, but Carbone claims fans will be very surprised by Colton's decisions this week.
During filming, Colton allegedly took advantage of two Fantasy Suite dates instead of the usual three.

Colton first enjoyed an overnight date with Tayshia that taped on November 6 at the famous lighthouse on Cabo de Sao Vicente, Carbone reported.
And then the former football player's second Fantasy Suite date was with Cassie, and the romantic evening taped on November 8.

This spoiling is probably shocking to Bachelor Nation considering most prior leading men or women of the franchise have been torn between their Final 2 bachelors or bachelorettes.
Ben Higgins, for example, told both Lauren Bushnell and JoJo Fletcher that he loved them, while the latest star, Arie Luyendyk Jr., actually dumped his fiancee, Becca Kufrin, for his season's runner-up, Lauren Burnham, several weeks after his season wrapped filming.
After spending the night with Tayshia and then Cassie, Carbone revealed in his podcast in December 2018 that something happened on that overnight date to make Colton realize he just wanted to be with Cassie and basically end the show.
However, Cassie reportedly quit the show before Colton could give her the final rose!
Cassie reportedly realized she's not ready to settle down or accept a Neil Lane diamond ring from Colton in the end.
"Cassie told him, 'I don't want to be engaged,'" Carbone disclosed in his podcast.
"She essentially pulled a [Peter Kraus]. Like, 'I'm 23, like, I don't want to be engaged.' And I'm being told -- and I can't 100 percent confirm this -- but I'm being told this is where the fence jump happened. Because on that overnight date, Cassie left the show."
Cassie's decision to quit was allegedly the moment when Colton jumped a fence and yelled he was "done" with the show, as shown in a trailer for the season that ABC previously released.
When Colton jumped the fence, he left Chris Harrison shouting after him from several yards away, in a total panic.
Despite Cassie's decision to leave the show prematurely, Colton allegedly chose to forego his Fantasy Suite date with Hannah G. -- who also allegedly has a good shot to become the next The Bachelorette star, according to Carbone.
Colton reportedly decided to dump both Hannah G. and Tayshia in the hope of making something work with Cassie in the real world.

According to Carbone, Cassie actually returned home to California after quitting the show -- and Colton then also returned to America and essentially chased her down.
The Bachelor's production crew reportedly filmed Colton tracking Cassie down in the Los Angeles area and telling her that he'd still like to be with her regardless of whether they get engaged.
Carbone is unsure how many days elapsed between Cassie's exit in Portugal and when cameras taped her in California, but he assumes production gathered in Huntington Beach, where Cassie lives with her parents.
"They filmed something in the States, where Colton comes to Cassie and basically says, 'We don't need to be engaged, but I want to be with you.' And that's where we are for right now," Carbone said.
Carbone had been hearing Cassie would probably be Colton's winner since mid-October. In fact, the spoiler blogger said from the start he would be "stunned" if Cassie didn't receive his final rose.
So are Colton and Cassie still together? What is the latest on their slow-moving romance?
Colton's desperate plea to Cassie reportedly resulted in the couple choosing to continue dating each other but taking an engagement off the table since Cassie is only 23 years old.
Carbone says Colton and Cassie are still together and will share a relationship update with fans in a couple of months when The Bachelor: After the Final Rose airs on ABC.
"My guess is Cassie is very young, and her feeling of, back in November, telling Colton, 'I'm not ready to be engaged,' [is] probably still going to stand in March. But that's just a guess. We'll see what happens," Carbone predicted.
Carbone concluded his podcast last month by apologizing for previously incorrectly reporting Colton and Cassie were engaged.
"I apologize for reporting that they are engaged. They are not," Carbone said, referring to his initial set of spoilers that he had to correct.

If the spoilers turn out to be accurate, Bachelor Nation will miss out on a lot of typical footage from The Bachelor season -- including Hannah G.'s overnight date, the Final 2 women meeting with Colton's family, the Final 2 women's last one-on-one dates with Colton in Spain, and, of course, a Final Rose Ceremony.
