Sleep-typing after being awakened by the dog, barking his ass off outside my window, so I hope I make sense.

The Victoria thing remains baffling, as she does bring the funny, but also acts just horribly. I want to believe she’s a production plant, because there’s no way there’s a real human who acts like this, right? At a minimum, she’s someone who understands they are making a TV show, and she knows acting outrageously will get her air time. But damn.

Allowing/airing the stuff about the “escort” is incredibly irresponsible by the show, and if it’s not true, then Vanessa Hudgens 2.0 should be able to sue their asses off, regardless of the contract she signed. Ok, I’m one of something like four non-lawyers on this site, so maybe I shouldn’t be the one to offer a legal opinion, but c’’mon, that’s some fucked-up shit twisted Julie Bowen is spewing.

Vibrator Girl is sneaky hot. 

The lead is a complete bore. I’ve seen reams of copier paper with more personality. If women ever complain about men being shallow and prioritizing looks over personality, point them to this show. 

Regarding the rumored favorite as reported by Reality Steve and parroted elsewhere, I’ll spoiler the following comment without revealing her name, just making an observation on their relationship: 

Spoiler

There doesn’t seem to be one, not yet, anyway. No more chemistry than displayed by just about anyone else.

Keeping Victoria around after that has to rank as one of the dumbest decisions ever made in this “universe” — and that’s saying something. Blondie definitely has to feel especially bad losing to that

Matt is so boring it may finally kill my wife's love of this show. She turned if off after about 20 mins last night. 

my wife has also tuned out, both literally and metaphorically, because she does not like him.  he's just kinda wimpy.  they're all head over heels for him, but if he had a little swagger, it might be more fun to watch.  i watched the last hour+ with my good friend jack daniel while she fell asleep.

sidenote - the adding of the women was interesting, and strays from the original pattern and structure of the show.  i wonder if they did this because of the whole clare/tayshia disaster, where they added men for obvious reasons.  or maybe because there was no bip, and adding people late is such a bip move (along with someone getting introduced and eliminated in the same show, like that uggo asian chick did last night.

maybe they just did it for covid.  they probably had a ton of backup girls hanging out, and when they didn't have to send any home, they felt bad and just said fuck it.

it's adding drama i guess, because the old girls hate the new girls.  that'll fade i think, because it's stupid.  thinking brittany was an escort was funny.  i know some chicks in la that are suspected of being that way.  they don't "have sex for money", but they seem to go on a lot of exotic vacations by themselves or with one other hot chick, and random old rich dudes who pay for them never seem to appear in their instagram posts.

also, with the pumpkin race, did that remind anyone else of:

#1 took it well and understood, Victoria just appeared clueless all the way through.  THe way the dude said it, it seemed like it was a producer's call.  Can't wait to see her(or both) on BIP.  

Think Katie is not long for the show, which is a shame. The person that calls out the bad stuff seems to get gone, soon after doing so.  She seems pretty cool and could see her in the main role.  Seems pretty level headed, but not a dud personality(al the dil in the first episode).

i'm only 35 min in and this might be my favorite episode ever.

That was a lot of fun watching Victoria get put in her place.  Matt finally showed a little backbone.  I liked the no response, just a blank stare when she was leaving the rose ceremony.  Also, when they were talking on the couch and he just got up and walked away (soon after the "ho taken out of context comment").

Every bit of that two hours was scripted by production. 

Yes, it was.

Chris: "Heather Martin! What are YOU doing here?"

And the reasoning? She was hanging with Hannah B and she mentioned that she and Matt would make a nice match? Christ.

Probably the most pathetic, desperate return in franchise history.

I had to go back and remind myself of her experience on the show with Colton. I forgot she was the one who had never been kissed before. She had an eight-month relationship with a dude and they never kissed. I mean WTAF?

What a weird exit for Katie.  Things could not have appeared to have been going better but you knew it was coming.  They showed a suitcase being taken away in several previews during the episode.  The friend was pretty cool going through that.  

Would like to see her end up in a future season.  Seems to have a good handle on the process.  

 

The girls this season, even after Victoria and the other one were kicked out are kinda mean

I'm thinking they told she had to make a cameo on the Bachelor to get invited to Bachelor in Paradise.

The super-passionate keyboard warriors are calling out all the past contestants (who have fuckall to do with this) to "denounce" Chris Harrison and his take on the doxxing overreach.  

I wouldn't mind if ABC just kills the entire season as it is now, leaving everyone with the most boring cliffhanger in the history of the franchise.  Resume with BIP, hosted by Wells, facilitated by a round of Covid/Gardasil vaccines prior to filming.

This trashy show is going to clutch pearls because Rachel went to an Old South party back in college in Georgia? That’s rich. 

You say back in college like it was decades ago. It was less than 3 years ago, 2 years after even KA decided Old South parties were a bridge too far. And was attended by a girl who has appeared in photos with confederate flags, liked photos of friends in racist costumes, and is accused of bullying a high school classmate for dating black guys.

God I wanted Serena to say “can I walk you out?”

That’s what I was screaming, and he actually asked, “can you walk me out?” and had a bit of a smile on his face.

She was fine with Matt until her family did a complete mindfuck on her, especially sis.

And Rachel’s skydiving landing was hella hard, damn.

Yeah, I thought she was gonna break her legs. That’s what they get sending her down with a 12-year-old.

I didn’t like Serena. Racheal is gonna be hard to explain due to the Old South pushback. Michelle is OK, I guess. I like Bri a lot. I honestly think she’s the best match for Matt. Next week’s tell-all might be the highlight of this season in all honesty.

Serena was my favorite, so I’m glad her family mind fucked her out of there. He should pick Bri or Michelle if he is really looking for a wife. Which he’s not, so he should pick the racist whose family will see to it they break up.

Apparently lotsa shit going down in the Bachelorverse, according to Reality Steve, who’s usually plugged in. Spoilered because I talk about the “winner.”

Spoiler

If you couldn’t already tell due to the Rachel Kirkconnell brouhaha, it’s only as big a brouhaha because she “won” (and perhaps a reason Chris Harrison was so adamantly defending her in the Extra interview. Or, he’s just a dumbass). 

RS says they’ve already broken up, which is no surprise. Katie was all set to become the next Bachelorette, but that’s now not going to happen (I’m putting my money on Abigail). And no word on who would serve as host of the next season. It’s certain Harrison will not appear on “After the Final Rose.”  Taping is expected to begin in March, so that decision will need to be made soon. I have to think if it’s not Harrison, he’s completely done on the show, as they will have moved on. He had the golden ticket and fucked it all up in a matter of minutes.

the whole situation is amazing.  Don't want to political this all up, but on the range of things people have been blasted for this seems on the tamer side.  

Also, this is an instance where can see the fanbase saying, "meh, this show ain't worth seeing if the new host is any good."  I'm wrong most of the time, so there's that too.

Agreed. I am bothered that now you can get canceled for not expressing outrage over something that someone else said or did.

Is there some rule that the host has to be from Dallas? Wonder if Acho somehow find a way to bash the Horns here too.

Sorry, but if Harrison is really gone for good over this, that’s ridiculous.

I think Acho being selected lessens the chances Harrison is gone for good. Somehow, Acho has become one of the preeminent voices on race in entertainment, which will be front and center at the AFTR.
But they certainly could get a better, more qualified person to be the full time host.

What a crazy turn of events. Was this all for his comments about the plantation party? It was definitely a bad look, but that seems like a swift, drastic move. I’ll give Acho a chance, but I think this is gonna hurt the franchise. Everyone liked Harrison.

That and he want on a rant complaining about the "woke police".  That was probably what did him in.
