Rudi and Matt were supposed to take a tour bus from Los Angeles to Las Vegas on the May 11 episode to meet the rest of the couples, but they took an unexpected detour. The couple had their driver stop at a hotel and slept in the same bed even though they are supposed to compete for a Fantasy Suite Date in the final episode. "Last night was what me and Matt needed. It was just really good to just talk to him and it was cool for him to reassure me that he does care about me. It was perfect," Rudi told producers the next morning (via Bachelor Nation YouTube).
When the two arrived in Las Vegas, the other couples suspected that the two hooked up. Rudi spoke to Entertainment Tonight and cleared up what happened. "No, we did not [hook up]," she said. "It was some wild snuggling. We got a lot of good, passionate makeouts in there."
