  1. Maria, although interesting to watch as a TV character, she is too buck wild to be the Bachelorette. I found her talking over the woman as she said Maria talked over everyone, to be super annoying. She's immature and unaware of how she comes off to others. That makes her not reliable enough to hold down the starring role.
  2. Did Daisy always have such severe vocal fry? I've got nothing against vocal fry but it seems like it showed up along with her doubts. Didn't Maria's mom abandon her? Her meltdown looked like someone with abandonment issues/ anxious attachment being triggered. She strikes me as someone who is deeply wounded and acts confident (arrogant to some) because it's a coping strategy that has worked for her. I think Kelsey will be the final pick. It could have been Daisy but she's just not that into him.
  3. I like Joey and I find he's pretty emotionally intelligent for a Bachelor. Jen got some extra points from me for appreciating Joey's bunions. My husband says mine are elegant, lol. I don't totally trust Kelsey from the 1 on 1 date. She's an actress (which shouldn't be held against her) but her story about not getting along with her dad because he wanted her to not go to college and join his religion was sort of the low key back story that a girl needs to stand out and "go deeper" but her story lacked substance and didn't totally make sense to me. Some of these girls might be in it for the travel. I love Montreal even though I've only been there once for a work trip in February. It was great to see not covered in snow.
  4. Crimes against the English language go to Lea with perspectivize. I don't think Lea or Maria are going to make it their hometowns. His connection with them isn't what it is with Daisy (they were sharing baby names!) or the woman he took on the moped date. I don't think Maria is a bully but she is a bit of a blowhard who has to share her opinion about everything. Lea seems immature. I thought it was impulsive and overly dramatic to throw the "get a solo date" card in the fire on the first night. He seems to be easygoing and probably wants someone who matches his energy and is not an opposites attract kind of guy.
  5. I'm not sure if I'd call Maria a bully but she and Sydney have no chill. In crimes against the English language, I submit comfortability.
  6. Finally finished the season and wow has Bosch taken to retirement. Killing people, having people killed, torturing people, I wouldn't be surprised if he pulled up next season blasting F*ck the Police, lol! Maddie going from rookie to super cop was a stretch. She looks like she's wearing a costume in the uniform. She was buried under like two inches of dirt and couldn't kick her way out but she's such a great detective and a great shot that she gets two bullets in a guy at quite a distance who's moving around. Mkay. Mo's plotline was okay too. It's weird he's such a great hacker but thought the beautiful woman just liked hanging out with him. Scraggly beards are a big ick for me so maybe I'm biased. His computer lair looks like it smells like moldy socks. I liked seeing the ex-chief of police. I'm glad he retired and is in the private sector. Fuckin' Bosch, lol!
  7. I'm a little late to this but I enjoyed it as a binge watch as I was working on a project. It felt like everyone involved was karmically linked and playing out a predestined role. It was also an accurate comment on how buckwild people in America act in public with little regard for their communities. My one complaint is the use of guns to move the plot forward. I'm so tired to of seeing this in every show. They could have written around it in this one.
  8. There's a lengthy part of his Wikipedia bio devoted to his hate crimes. He's a bad guy who for some reason still gets to work. I'm sure he doesn't see himself as a bad guy though so that scene made sense to me. This episode did not feel like the penultimate episode of a series. I'm worried they're rushing the ending.
  9. I'm slightly worried about her mental health and I'm not sure she could handle the roller coaster of being the lead. The show really did her dirty by not at the barest minimum have a producer send her a text telling her that world will know Zach told everyone she had sex in the FS. It was cruel and toying with the emotions of a perhaps not totally stable person. During her interview she said that week in Thailand she and Zach had an amazing talk about their mental health. Why aren't we seeing these deeper conversations? Many of us watch to see a new relationship unfold in real time. There's so much lame, vapid conversation it makes the show dull and the people look stupid. Obviously, it isn't because they are trying to protect the contestants' privacy. It seems to be that whoever is in charge doesn't really have their finger on the pulse of Bachelor Nation, a term that also needs a serious rebranding.
  10. Zach needed to alleviate his guilt when he should have worked through it like an adult and then spoke to Kaity if she was the final pick and he felt he owed her the information. Dumping it onto her unasked, ruining their special day and outing Gabi was spectacularly awful. He forced Kaity to do the emotional labor he should have done on his own. Not a good look in 2023. I actually thought he was more mature than most and I think he thought that too, lol. It seemed that Zach and Gabi were more tipsy at the end of their date than on the other dates. I think it's worth pointing out that if this was the real world and Zach were dating these three women, at this stage he might be having sex with one or more of them and they would be dating others as well. Obviously, it's the show that forces the women to be exclusive (and also live together as semi sister wives) so this imbalance is created for drama's sake. Maybe Kaity was thinking along these lines when she decided to stick around. Still not cool for him to kiss and tell on Gabi on such a huge platform as well. The fact he gave her the second rose and wouldn't look her in the eye made him look like a huge jerk! Both women looked like they wanted to tell him off after the rose ceremony. Even if there is a winner, I doubt that it will last. Shout out to The Scarlet Letter. For all the crimes against grammar, someone was paying attention in high school, English class. Saw this on Twitter and could not unsee it while watching the rose ceremony.
  11. Gabi's wanting to align her family/ marriage timeline with her sister's made me wonder if she likes Zach specifically or he fits the slot that she needs filled to fit her timeline. Sort of seemed that way with Kaity too but she was less obvious about it. Is Charity's family taking adoption applications? Her friends seemed great too. I think Zach is too square for Ariel. He's better off with Kaity or Gabi but I don't think they hold his interest. Looks like next week he really blows it. I thought what happened in the fantasy suites stayed in the fantasy suites. He should never have said that he wasn't going to have sex there. A lot of times guys mistake being honest with being a blabbermouth. Just say nothing!
  12. The bar for being a dignified Bachelor/ Bachelorette is basically so low it's in hell, lol!
  13. Brooklyn and Greer seem very young to me. I can still see the teenagers they recently were. Charity and Gabi are too but I think Zak is more attracted to them and hasn't talked to them as much as some of the others. Ariel is giving my Aubrey Plaza vibes and would make a great Bachelorette. I'm glad he let Kat go. I think she isn't emotionally ready for a life partner (or this show's version). Zak might be my favorite Bachelor. He really is here for the right reasons!
  14. This show is one of the worst for crimes against the English language. It would have been easier for him to just say our butler.
  15. I was surprised to learn Zach is 26. He doesn't look older but he seems like he's from another generation. He seems more dignified than most people who have been on this show. Brooklyn is another one that has only had abusive/ dysfunctional relationships. It was a lot to disclose on a first date. Kaity and Brooklyn are dating up but I don't think there's much in it for Zach. I like Aerial a lot. She is more on Zach's level; mature, sophisticated, well spoken, emotionally intelligent. The women tattling to Zach about this and that imo, is not a good look. It reminds me of when I taught high school and the kids were constantly coming to me to resolve their inane disputes.
  16. This really stood out to me too. She strikes me as an anxious attached person and it sounds like her ex was avoidant. She isn't ready for a life partner. I was surprised that he let all that pass unquestioned.
  17. Seeing some red flags with Katie saying she's never had a romantic moment. Take yourself on a hot date, girl! Hasn't she heard she can buy her own flowers etc... Christina saying has been doing Crossfit since she was 12. Of course she has. I don't think she said anything that bad but these women seem really young and like they all play really nice. Zack wants a gentle woman. She didn't fit in. Loving the L.A. landmarks - Natural History Museum, Clifton's, Bradbury Building
  18. Has anyone else read the book Attached about different attachment styles? Kody is definitely avoidant with the non Robyn wives but anxious with Robyn. I think all the wives are anxious attached.
  19. Kody reminds me of a lot of my friend's dads who would get a new midlife crisis family and act like the old one was so annoying, uncool or terrible in some way. No one put a gun to his head and made him marry these women and have a million children. He acts like he didn't choose it. I don't know where to start, these people are such a mess. Here were some things that struck me in no particular order. - Robyn's eyebrows. If you're going to paint a face onto your face at least watch a couple of YouTube tutorials first. Maybe use a level too. - Kody saying "his kids" when referring to Robyn's kids and saying "their kids" when referring to the rest. He's really distanced himself from them. - Kody talking down to Janelle. They both say they've always been friends but they way he talks to her, she needs to hold a higher standard for her friends. - Meri sitting there and agreeing with Kody even though everyone has made it clear she's not wanted there. So cringe. Kody and Robyn used Covid to distance themselves and one by one they're pushing the other wives and the non Robyn kids out. If they want a monogamous relationship they should just say it. It's so immature to play these games. My guess is that they have such fragile egos they can't stand to be the bad guys. They don't care if they're punishing the non Robyn kids. I wonder if this show has been on so long, and times have changed so quickly that the narrative TLC created of Kody being a somewhat likable oaf became impossible to sustain as the footage no matter how it's edited, tells its own story. No matter what TLC does he's been revealed as an emotionally abusive gaslighter. Perhaps Janelle and Christine feel more comfortable speaking up as times have changed too.
  20. As someone who watched some but not all of the episodes when it originally aired, I was not prepared at all for that episode. Although the pregnant couple was so cute and happy, I knew something bad was going to happen to them, but not as excruciatingly tragic as it turned out to be. The dead eyed look that Mark has in the train at the end was similar to my own.
  21. I think the main problem was picking Parkinson's as the disability as it generally gets worse over time. With Weaver, hers has basically been the same since birth so she knows exactly where her limitations are. With Parkinson's, the limitations change daily and then decline over time. As to the expensive equipment, isn't the hospital supposed to be a poorly funded, county hospital? The writers need to pick a lane and stick to it.
  22. I'm halfway through Season 9 aka the Carter/ Abby years (ugh) and as much as I like Don Cheadle his story line seems implausible. Is it even remotely realistic that someone who has Parkinson's can also be a med student? And a med student who gives people stitches? It seems like the majority of interesting characters are gone and maybe the better writers went with them. Also, there's a lot more cheesy music randomly playing in awkward moments. Not loving it but in for a penny...
  23. Every time Robyn said the word mourning, it sounded like she was saying horny which was as confusing as it was hilarious.
  24. Oh, god that he/she slur comes up a few times. There's others that are less egregious like talk around gangbangers, but still so much cringe. I felt for Carol and Doug's kids. Imagine that's your standard of a healthy relationship. At least there was two of them so they could compare notes as to how weird their parents are. Yeah, Jen being portrayed as a cold, calculated career woman was some leftover 80's/ 20th century bs.
