Ben is on the third week of his search for the one in "The Bachelor" season 20. The ladies and the dashing software salesman are still in Los Angeles. As usual, Reality Steve has the scoop on what will go down.

[Spoiler Alert!] According to the ever-reliable insider, Lauren B will score a one-on-one date with Ben. The pair will take their date to the skies and on a plane as they enjoy a bird's eye view of the Agoura Hills/Malibu area.

The date held from thousands of feet above the ground should go amazing for the two, knowing that Lauren B got a rose from Ben. But she won't be the only one enjoying that feeling in the next "The Bachelor" season 20 episode.

It looks like Jubilee will also get a one-on-one date with Ben and she would make the most of it too. Ben will take Jubilee to San Diego via helicopter to taste some wine and the day will end with a rose on Jubilee's hand.

The third week of "The Bachelor" season 20 will also show the rest of the girls except for Becca, JoJo and Caila (who won't go on a date this week) on a group date with Ben by playing a friendly game of soccer at the L.A .Coliseum.

The girls will be divided into two teams -- Stripes team and Stars team. Alex Morgan and Kelly O'Hara from the U.S. Women's National Team will be the captains of the respective teams.

By the end of the game, the Stripes team takes the victory, earning them a nice party down at the Hotel Intercontinental in L.A.. The losing team, however, will miss out on that festivity and simply head home. Amber will get the group date rose from Ben.

Reality Steve also teases that there's more to look forward to this week in "The Bachelor" season 20 than the dates. Expect more drama from Lace, who was already the center of attention after confronting Ben while she was drunk.

That incident will sustain repercussions this week. Olivia, according to Us Weekly, is shaping up to be this season's "villain" as well. "The Bachelor" season 20 week 3 airs Jan. 18 on ABC.
