My theory on announcing so early is that normally they have the suitors cast before they even announce the bachelorette (and same for for a bachelor season—i.e. many of the girls this season were cast with Luke in mind). With a black bachelorette they need to both cast a more diverse group than might normally apply…

their wedding was funded by them sponsoring inane products from them instagram feeds. go back and look.

Did you ever offer to buy someone’s gas on your card in exchange for cash like Winona Ryder in Reality Bites?? lol

Wait is this a weekly recap that I have been missing?? I love this show and have binged watched from the beginning this month. I am just getting to episode 3 of the current season now. I hate Ariana with a passion and I think Tequila Katie’s suspicions are right and that Schwartz is secretly in love with her. He…

The producers trolled the cast HARD in the episode and it was fantastic. Exhibit A-

I’d have to agree. Both of them are terrible, awful people.

Considering they went to get a prenup and the lawyer laughed when he was told how much money they had.....Bravo likely paid for every penny of the wedding.

Yeah. I’m not going to hate on her because the kids seem like good people. My grandmother spoiled me and if she had more money, I would be even more spoiled.

They had a whole convo about it. He just likes it so much but they’re not married yet.

Katie is a terrible person. I just want to give Schwartz a hug and tell him he’s going to be ok.

LVP has mentioned on more than one occasion that yes, she does spoil her kids, but only after they’ve proven themselves worthy and have worked hard and been responsible etc etc etc. Max was a busboy FFS. Went without power in his apartment for a while bc he couldn’t pay the bills.

On Juan Pablo’s season I remember there being a point where most of the women realized he was a douche bag, and it became more about their friendships and having fun and not about competing for him. But they still seemed interested in what was going on, unlike what happened this week.

I’m also from NJ so I have a particular affinity for her.

She has to be on Bachelor in Paradise! She is so funny and seems like a decent person, I want to see more of her.

It was a weird episode. It might be editing, but it seems like Nick isn’t having many serious conversations or getting to know anyone. Usually by this point in the show there are one or two people who the bachelor/ette seems genuinely interested in.

Just hoping she is on Bachelor in Paradise!!!! She was one of the few with humor and personality. And I believed her when she says she hates crying/doesnt cry, becasue she wouldn’t let herself be filmed.

He’s a complete jackass, so they’re having trouble making him look decent.

I can’t remember an episode where the women as a whole seemed so uninterested in the Bachelor/Bachelorette. They were all sitting alone on the beach. It would have been easy to recover that Nick! All he had to do was say “Hey guys, this isn’t fun like I expected it to be. It’s cold, we’re all feeling weirdly…

Alexis is gone now so nothing matters anyway.

It’s funny how abortion is such a dirty little secret. I had one over 20 years ago, and I’ve never told anyone. I guess I’m afraid of being judged, or having someone scream at me about “killing my baby.” I’ve never had children, either, so I feel like people might be extra judge-y for some reason.
