Hello hello hello and welcome to my first Bachelorette recap!! I don’t know if recap is the right word — I feel like this is more of a Bachelorette “reactions” post. Well, whatever you want to call it, here is what I thought of last nights episode!
Intro
Bennett looks less douchy without a scarf, but still bad vibes (Ok I wrote this at the beginning of the show, but the ending “bloopers” are changing my mind a little about Bennett. As long as he can poke fun at himself, I’m here for it!)
*Cue Clare talking about how obsessed she is with Dale* I feel like other Bachelors and Bachelorettes said the same things about their favorite guys/girls at the beginning of their seasons, but the producers cut it out because they want the audience hanging on until the end to see who the Bachelor or Bachelorette picks. Since it has already been leaked that Clare picks Dale and he is the main story line, I think producers are amplifying her statements on him so it makes sense when she ends up picking him so quickly.
First Group Date
The staging of this group date is just confusing. I feel like I am at a middle school production of Romeo and Juliet.
Drink every time Clare gets choked up.
They are TOTALLY enhancing the sound effects on Dale and Clare’s physical touch session.
Did that date last a total of 5 minutes or just me?
Okay I love ankle length pants but I feel like the boys’ pants are now getting closer and closer to their knees…
Kind of refreshing to see people be respectful about not jumping on the Bachelor/Bachelorette right away at the cocktail party, but I understand why she is upset about them not pulling her. Maybe they didn’t know how things work?? IDK
Yosef, never call a girl crazy DUDE. That never gets interpreted the right way.
Dale could have said anything in that moment when Clare was addressing the group and Clare would have melted.
DRINK! I SEE TEARS!
I’m sorry I just don’t think Zack C. is attractive! She seems into him though. Too bad he has no chance.
Clare: “I want somebody who..physcial touch” *makes out with Riley* Makes sense. For sure.
Rose goes to Riley. I’m ok with it.
YOSEF SHUT UP. If you can’t handle a strong, independent woman then GTFO.
One On One Date
Jason getting the one on one…Jason who???
Wait his voice is so deep lol.
Kinda digging this campfire setup.
Is she trying to fix Jason? This seems like a therapy session. She’s like “I picked you because its clear you have MAD issues.”
TEARS…but like im crying too….
WHAT IS JASON ABOUT TO CONFESS. WHAT HAS HE SEEN?!?!?!
She made him feel so comfortable aw.
AWK he called Clare’s dress from Juan Pablo’s season ugly and tried to cover it up hahahah.
Second Group Date
These boys went into sport mode real fast when they saw the dodgeballs. They are so aggressive omg…so much sweat eeeepppp.
BLUE BALLS haha I’m not mad about that team name it’s low key clever.
WHY ARE THEY GETTING NAKED IN FRONT OF CHRIS HARRISON. Poor, poor guy.
Can you imagine if they made girls do this – totally a double standard!!!
EW Jason “that’s a heck of a lot more action than I’ve seen in a while.”
Good dress choice Clare. I like the black sequins.
Chasen’s HOT. Kind of gives me Luke Pell vibes from Jojo’s season.
And here comes Blake Moynes pulling a Cam (ABC Cam…from Hannah’s season). Doesn’t he know this strategy never works out for anyone?!?
Am I alone in thinking Blake Moynes isn’t that attractive??
OMFG SHE REJECTED HIS KISS AHAHAHA THATS SO AWKWARD.
Brandon is HOT but when he starts talking I am just immediately turned off.
oooo buddy Brandon this convo is not going well for you … bad bad bad move Brandon. Ok let’s talk about this situation – most people are saying that Clare was too hasty in her decision to send him home because he shouldn’t have to know anything about her before meeting her. I think where she was confused was when he said the only reason he went on the show was because of her, but then he couldn’t tell her what he liked about her except that she was pretty. If he said he didn’t know anything about her, that would be okay, but he prefaced the conversation with saying that SHE was why he was here, but it was only because she was hot. He also presented it in a sketchy way that made him look insincere. Idk I can see both sides.
I love when the Bachelor or Bachelorettes send people home outside of the rose ceremony. Let’s not waste anyone’s time!!
I like that she just hands the rose out on the group date without doing a whole speech. No BS from Clare!
Cocktail party day
Yosef…bud…I don’t think you are understanding how this show works.
Blake finally got that kiss!
“First and foremost..Dale” True Clare. True.
A blindfolded make out session WOW we are moving quick.
Annnnnnddd we end with a cliff hanger. Shocking!! I hate when this happens because I feel like we never get back on track with episodes ending with a rose ceremony ugh. See ya’ll Bachelorette addicts next week!
