According to Buzzfeed/Insta, hot Blake left early so he could be with his grandfather who was in the ICU :(.

I finding myself saying way too often as a 38 y/o married, mother of 3, “if **I** was the Bachelorette...” and in this case “if I was the Bachelorette, i would tell the producers to gtfo if they said I had to give waboom Jim carey wannabe guy a rose over a genuinely normal guy you could end up with.” It just seems…

On one hand, it’s a relief because this means Rachel isn’t completely insane. On the other, why bring the guy on at all... There were so many men there to begin with. I guess they are hoping to cast him in Bachelor in Paradise so he needed to show up at least one episode?

She didn’t pick him because he had to go home because he had an emergency with his granddad. He was in the hospital. He put a post on Instagram about it, and thats why he went home, but then producers probably made him delete it because it’s not there anymore, but I think there’s still screenshots going around I could…

Blake E’s bio reads like a train wreck. Hard pass.

Ok I’m sorry, but that kiss with Brian was SO GROSS and tongue-y and aggressive. Not a fan. Then she gave him the first impression rose? Why Rachel, why?!?

Bank of America gave me a credit card with an $8000 limit when I was 18 so that part of the movie is actually probably realistic, you can easily do a hawaiian vacation for just a few grand for 2.

According to the all-knowing internet, his grandpa was admited to the ICU right when taping started, so he decided to leave. Although, if that were true I’m not sure why they had him go on at all? Unless it they thought it’d be super noticeable that there were only 30 guys instead of 31?

People need to get over the misconception that Melania Trump is their imprisoned ally.

See this space between my finger and thumb pressed tightly together? Oh, there is no space? Yeah, that’s about the same amount of sympathy I have for Melania.

She would be an American hero. We would embrace her if she just said, ‘Listen, this guy’d disgusting and I know all his dirty secrets and I’m willing to tell everybody.

Prenup with a non-disclosure agreement.

It is also highly indicative of them continuously not appreciating or realizing the POC that make up their base, you know, until it’s time to brand them as your “firewall”. It was clear from the DNC chair bs that they learned nothing, but this continuing the same tactics with a new face is just tone deaf.

Yeah, uh, Hillary wasn’t a great candidate. Quite the opposite.

He will forevermore be known to me as Wrong Blake. Thank you!

Oh sweet lord, there’s a photo of him holding an enormous fluffy dog like a baby and huh... what’s this? I seem to be going towards a white light. BECAUSE I’M DEAD.

It’s like you are inside my head, these were my big three takeaways. Kennys a gem, Josiah’s story is very sad but it doesn’t make his possessiveness and self-focus any less worrying, and Why oh why did she choose the wrong Blake?!

I just got caught up on Reality Steve. No spoilers but it turns out that Blake and “Waboom” actually know each other from another reality show. Yeah, they’ll be gone soon.

I will say that they seemed to be working to make you aware that this is a better crop of men than they usually have
