That has never stopped any of the women on this show from twisting themselves into pretzels to be the very most desirable (and undemanding) woman for the dude they’re all competing for. I mean, most of the Bachelors are kind of douchey and/or boring as sin, and the women still do everything in their power to “win”…

Or even during his crying-breakdown, why didn’t anyone go over to him and put a comforting arm around his shoulder, at least? Or even SAY something, like, “It’s ok, we’re all here for you.” or “I’m here for you.” or *something*.

You know, we’re constantly having to tell my 8 year old nephew to sit on a chair like a big boy because he’s always wiggling around on it, sitting sideways, or standing on the chair... maybe nobody ever told Nick that he had to learn to sit like a big boy...

Oooh, I hadn’t seen the table flip before. I wonder if they’ll weirdly edit it into another episode instead.

PS - If you ignore the douchey mumby thing, and just look at him, he’s kinda hot. He’s got this self-deprecating thing, which I always like, and as someone else pointed out, he’s got a pretty nice body.

He’s never been hot - he’s always had this awkward charm, though. Until this season, that is. What happened to that? He’s just awkward and mumbly now.

Deranged beaver. *snort* So true.

YES! Why are they doing that?!?! He may be unlikable normally, but at least he’s interesting! There is just NOTHING happening on this show now. I understand why none of the girls are really into him.

The other thing that struck me as weird about that was that NONE of the women went after him to try to comfort him. If some guy that you supposedly care about is having a major emotional breakdown, don’t you at least give him a hug and try to reassure him? And even if you don’t actually care about him, but want to win…

Honestly, she was one of the ones whose names I didn’t even know until last night. I’m kind of surprised she’d do a show like this... after the experiences she’s lived through, what the hell is she doing on a ridiculous show like this?

I think he comes off as super smarmy, too, but I wonder if that’s a TV thing. Because, in ALL of the bachelor and bachelorette things that he’s been on, it seems like all of the women just fall ALL OVER him. I think he must have presence, or somehow he must be super charming in person.

I couldn’t believe they did that haunted house thing, and that it was soooo long, and that they actually expected us to believe that they were all so *scared*. It’s a haunted house! That’s the whole point of the thing, things falling and lights flashing off and on. 

And the MUMBLING!!!

I also SO appreciate that at the end of each segment, there’s 2-3 minutes of, “After the commercial, this will happen!” and then before the next segment starts, there’s another 2-3 minutes of, “This is what JUST happened! You already know because you just watched it, but watch it again!” If they cut out just that…

I thought so, too! She let herself get totally derailed by Corinne’s rantings, and even got defensive!

Who was the contestant you knew and how did she do??? (the backstory is interesting even if you don’t know the person ;)

I wish I could give your comment 20 stars. Your last point, particularly. I can’t stand to watch any kind of bullying or gaslighting as part of my TV escapism because... well, it’s not allowing me to escape. Just painful. But to be fair to the producers, Trump was expected to lose when they picked Corinne as the…

I don’t keep track of them, but my understanding is that there are a whole bunch of Bachelor/Bachelorette couples who have gotten married and have stayed married for a bunch of years. A bunch of them have kids, too, which is pretty frightening.

See, but these recaps are what make the episodes worth watching! I would never watch if it weren’t for the snarky write-ups and discussions afterwards!

Yes, I’ve been thinking the same thing!
