Am I getting this right? Wife #1 gave Ricky $30,000 to fight Wife#2 for custody (which he won) but the divorce is not final? Is it at least in the works? Yeah, not the best move to get engaged when you are still married AND owe that much money to Wife #1 who you admit you are in debt to the rest of your life. Not to mention that you were madly in love and planning to marry Melissa who obviously played you and you suddenly fell in love with Option #2. I don't think his fiancé is the type to take these things lightly!

The thing is a lot more has changed besides her husband coming back, so has her terminally ill child who you would think would be her number 1 consideration and a good reason to press the Pause button on her new relationship. Assuming they aren't married. And also depending how she really feels about the new "boo" and her husband. A good excuse to dump one or the other I would think. But she will have to still have her husband in her life because of the "twins".

Wow, that is a lot of judgement of someone we have seen dance once for 30 plus seconds who was embarrassed because he did suck. I'm not seeing arrogance, just realization he is out of his comfort zone. If anything he knows he should have been the one who should leave. Maybe he improves a bit next time.

Wow, the show IS what it is. Connie Britton is gone for now. The reality is her and Buck would probably not have lasted in the long run with their age difference anyway. Yes I know some do, but most don't. For now JLH is filling in that role and yes it is kind of awkward. I like the show for the "emergencies" (yes I know they are farfetched but who cares....it is entertainment) and for some of the other characters. I'm figuring that JLH will probably eventually hook up with the new guy and we will have the added drama of her hubby stalking her. Something to watch while drinking a glass of wine after a hard day at work.

Hopefully Paul will get a DNA test before he starts bonding with the baby and trying to make the marriage work. She already complains about doing any housework, wait until she has to take care of a crying baby and has no time for herself. And Paul will have no patience for a baby either. Why do young girls and their partners "leave it up to God"? Great way to get out of the cycle of poverty. Ximena still does not know ALL the truth. Will Ricardo "mention" the ring he has (IF he proposes) was originally intended for Melissa. She seems smart enough to realize that and won't think he slipped away and bought it.

You KNOW the "kid" is going to discover what is going on. Especially since Joe has already told him about hiding things in the ceiling. Joe is about the only positive in his life. Will he become his apprentice or lie for him? Or, will Beck end up being an even worse person that Joe? Have not read the book yet so have no idea the direction this is going. It is already hard to watch at times.

I watch mostly to see how the party looks at the end and who is attending. Definitely all the "issues" are mostly scripted. Will they bring back Tori Spelling at some point to add some drama?

It was bad timing on her part. She came to BIP late in the game when all the women already had "dibs" on most of the guys.

Perhaps but then again I can't imagine anyone who plans on being a parent not being able to cook. Or, anyone period....at least enough to get by without being dependent on others.

I agree. Don't forget that the producers are constantly asking Dave to comment on Amber and what is he going to say after her continuous freak-outs about every little thing when it is on camera for all to see. It isn't unreasonable for his vision of marriage....to take a couple of trips before having kids. If Amber is freaking out about everything now, wait until she has a crying baby in the middle of the night. I'm sure she will say that Dave doesn't think she is a good mother. That is the next thing after her thinking she isn't a good enough wife. She really needs to get help with her insecurities. Sure Dave could handle it better but let's get real, most guys could not handle it which is probably why she hasn't had a long term relationship. She is sabotaging the relationship.

The difference is at least those couples were single before they got engaged and then they split up, when reality hit. Jenna let producers and Jordan think she was single. If she had any sense of decency at all, she would have at least broken up with Jorden before he proposed. Bad karma bitch. Like others, I can't believe I am now liking Jordan enough to feel sympathy for him!

Colton doesn't seem the type to be able to even make a decision period, let alone choosing which "girls" should go home each week and then which one he wants to "spend the rest of his life with". He is the least ready for marriage of any contestant I've ever seen on this show....even less ready than the players and fame whores who are there for screen time.

Plus Ximena actually has a personality, takes some initiative, and will much likelier pull her weight in the future as a wife, rather than expect to be put on a pedestal like Melissa.

Definitely not seeing any next Bachelor material here. It's amazing how it doesn't take much to get over those who you thought were candidates once they "test the waters" on BIP. Guess it will be Jason or Blake.

You have to give Joe credit for NOT being the one who told Kendall about Leo. Makes him look good for letting her figure out things for herself.

Besides appropriate clothing, how about something at least flattering. You are meeting your alleged future fiancé and their families....not to mention you KNOW you are being filmed for the world to see. Angela, why not do something for your man like buy a Nigerian outfit to wear why you are there (at least once). He would be so happy and it would be a great souvenir too!

Sorry Amber, if you want to be rated more than 7.5 (and more importantly have a successful marriage) you might "want to" do things for your husband, not because you "have to" but because you like doing things for him. I don't mean doing tons of extra work or a one-sided situation where it is always one doing all the work. It's just the little things that count and that you remember. And that goes for Dave too, doing little extra things for Amber. There's a lot of work in marriage, the little things are appreciated. I'd say doing the cooking is a good trade off for doing laundry (without complaining about it) especially when you are the one who said you would do it.

It was weird to see Leo talk and be kind of aggressive with the women since he barely talked on the Bachelorette. These people are acting like they are in high school making out in front of each other and competing for each other for the sake of roses or the REAL reason: more air time. It's such juvenile behavior to have to have a guy you have dated once before this show and another time on this show declare he is your boyfriend....a guy who told you a couple of days earlier he didn't know what he wanted. And the expectation of finding a fiancé on this show? Just because you share some make out time and possibly a fantasy suite date if you hang on that long, doesn't mean that will translate to the real world, especially since other alternatives will then be available. Yeah it is fun to watch but also cringe-worthy at the same time!

I've worked with people like Shannon before. She just seems like the type of employee that will do the least amount possible to get a job done and who has to constantly be reminded what to do, rather than have the insticts of what an employee that is in charge of social media should automatically know to do. Definitely not a go-getter but someone who relies on her connections. Not a fan.

Except Tia and Colton dated in the real world for a couple of days and he was not interested enough in her to NOT accept the invitation to be on the Bachelorette. Then he allegedly fell madly in love with Becca and just days ago was crying about her. So, all of a sudden he is interested in Tia? Either this is a set up for drama or he is guilted into this "relationship". How desparate can Tia be to be 2nd choice (or no choice)? Shades of Ashley I and Jered. I guess some guys just eventually give in to the pressure.

As do 90% of the non-Americans on this show. Their ticket to the American dream. Except most of the Americans have no money without even thinking they will have to support their new spouses until they get a green card. They are like teenagers who only think in the moment. Why do they believe these people are in love with them already just by contact online? They don't even consider why they really want to be with them. Sure wish they would leave the kids out of this. These new spouses are not the solution to single parenthood! Bringing that baby over is insane...why not meet to see if there is anything there first without the kid? She seems more into having a father for her kid than even a husband. Please use birth control!

It's amazing that these people seem shocked that there is only 1 bed, that they are given rings, etc, etc. You would think if they were considering something this drastic they would be googling this show and watching S1 and S2 before going on their journey.

Was that really Margaret Cho on the last Unapologetic episode? She looked and acted so different.

Well, don't run off with the local high school teacher/couch if you care about gossip.

Actually I think Ben is waiting in the wings IF F2 through F4 don't step up their stories soon. Plus there is the BIP factor. If F2 thru F4 are on BIP, they are pretty much not in the running for the Bachelor, especially if they find "love".
