I also have stage V endo and after years and years of fertility treatments and multiple miscarriages and failures we grew our family through adoption. It was nice to hear Joey bring up an openness to adoption because my 2 year old makes it all finally make sense.

I’m from Philadelphia (go Birds) and it’s fun seeing my city highlighted albeit briefly. Joey surprised me this first night. I thought he seemed sweet but dull on Charity’s season. I was concerned he didn’t have enough depth to carry a season but so far so good. Philly area guys can either be super hyper/energetic (Tyler Norris) or infused with a sort of low energy ennui - Joey being the latter. But I think that calm energy may serve him well and help put the ladies at ease. I hope he has a fun season.

Wow Rachel calling herself literally Barbie is a whole next level of self involvement Also scanadians? SCANADIANS? Holy shit Kat I can’t deal with this level of idiocracy.

I don’t understand the physics behind how Greer’s bathing suit top isn’t flipping her boobs right out the bottom

Ok Olivia and jacket guy have definitely been chatting it up before they got there - no one eases into a situation like that and starts talking about sucking toes unless they’ve been flirting and in each other’s dms for awhile

I have a soft spot for Blake so I hope he does well and finally finds his actual person (ugh did I just use that phrase) Can’t stand Kylee or Brooklyn - and Rachel annoys me although as someone who is dying to get a breast reduction it’s nice seeing how well hers turned out I would never have guessed that was “jacket guy” - he looks totally different I liked glitter girl and I hope she does well I also can’t help but like Brayden - he’s obnoxious and calling yourself quirky feels like you’re trying too hard. Also stealing Johnny Depp’s look is a choice. But I still find him hot 😂

Well this is all just too precious So sad that Roberta passed away and didn’t get to see her friend on the show

Yeah I don’t know if he will actually get chosen.. this all gets filmed and edited before fans weigh in and I do think they sometimes go by popularity of a contestant. I think Aaron and his tattling was not well received - but if it had been seen as heroic and chivalrous or if he was a popular choice, they have given themselves more than one option to choose from. Bringing Aaron back definitely felt tied to Xavier’s big confession so it makes me think they were just keeping as many options on the table as possible. Speaking of Xavier - he’s given me fuck boy vibes all season and I was suspicious of him in the same way Charity had been expressing. Like he’s almost too smooth. And while it’s ok to make mistakes in your past, I found it pretty outrageous that he basically said that he couldn’t guarantee he wouldn’t cheat on her because while his heart was all there his head wasn’t? Huh? That’s an automatic see ya never and that’s BEFORE he says he needs to “see more from her” in the fantasy suites. Maybe he meant sex and maybe he didn’t but regardless the man didn’t say I’m so disappointed in myself for ever being unfaithful in my past and it’s not something I’m ever going to engage in again. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking through what would cause me to do that and I want to be a better man and human being going forward. I’m glad Charity didn’t drag that whole situation out further and showed a lot of self respect in ending it right then and there. If Xavier thinks it’s ok to cheat on his partner any time he’s feeling unsure, I feel bad for his future girlfriends. Unless they’ve seen this episode where they were forewarned that he’s a remorseless cheater.

Yes!! I came here to say this. I’m sensing Bachelor edit too.

Charity seems really sweet but I’m going to snark on 2 things that bug me. 1. She rarely lets anyone speak uninterrupted. Could be an anxiety thing but weird for a psychotherapist. 2. She primarily speaks in TikTok or Gen Z slang. I get that it’s a generational thing - but I’m not THAT old. I’m a Gen X borderline Millenial. It just seems like her vocabulary and conversational skills are all rooted in buzz words and shortcuts. It might make sense for a teenager but it’s unattractive on a grown woman.

I felt bad for Tanner. She dragged him through 2 almost rose ceremonies only to cut him loose in the end anyway. It’s got to be tough at that point not to say look you clearly are unsure about me and I don’t think that’s a good look for introducing you to my family. You can tell she’s attracted to Xavier and knows he has major red flags but she keeps convincing herself that her instincts are wrong.

He’s such an obnoxious dick but he has that 90s bad boy look and attitude down and I’m a teenager of the 90s so I can’t help but find him hot.

Warwick and the yawning - like bruh sitting on rides requires no work on your part. THIS tires you out?? Never have kids dude.

I hope Charity doesn’t spend all season licking her teeth.

Kaity has seemed extremely medicated both meeting his parents and on her date with Zach. Or maybe she’s just really drunk.
