As Ben Flajnik passed out roses on “The Bachelor,” a Chicago contestant just about passed out.

Reigning Miss Chicago Erika Uhlig hit the deck when Ben had one long-stem left. She got back on her feet only to see Ben decide against giving the evening’s final rose to any of the three women still flowerless.

That hurts more than falling on your bikini-clad butt while skiing, which the ladies also did in Monday’s episode.

Meanwhile, the contestant who brought her grandma to the first cocktail party took herself out of the running — and granny’s will. And Shawntel, a reject from last season, showed up for a shot at a rose but was sent packing along with Jaclyn and Erika.
