New drinking game rule for The Bachelor: Take a shot every time someone says  the word "love."

If you add that rule to your viewing experience, prepare to get pretty tipsy on Monday night, when Ben Higgins and the final three ladies head to Jamaica for the episode fans have been waiting for all season: the Fantasy Suites!

In E! News' exclusive sneak peek at the Feb. 29 episode, Caila, JoJo and Lauren B. are all telling Ben that they love him...and guess what? "Perfect Ben" is breaking The Bachelor's No. 1 rule, by returning the sentiment, a huge no-no in the franchise!

And he doesn't break the rule just once as he actually tells two of his final three ladies that he loves them...but which contestant is left out of the love-fest? Press play on our exclusive clip above to watch all the drama go down. 

Caila, JoJo and Lauren B. weren't the only ladies to tell Ben just how strongly they felt about him during this season though, as creator Mike Fleiss told E! News that "a record number" of woman dropped the L-bomb.

"What happened on this season is he's such a catch that the girls competed harder  for him than any other season," he said. I think eight or nine girls said they were in love with him...a lot of girls want to marry this guy."

As for the Fantasy Suite dates, Fleiss previewed, "They steamed up the windows plenty!"

The Bachelor airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on ABC.
