And, once again, back from the commercial break and the audience is in stunned silence/tears. Are the doing this through mass hypnosis?

Colton fighting for Cassie's love sounds real close to stalking.

No, Colton! You can't be done yet! I'm not ready to be done with this forum yet! Boltin' Colton! Genius!

Demi's laugh sounds like Elmer Fudd on a juicer (shout out to Seinfeld)

Everyone is on fire today; I'm laughing so hard I'm scaring the cats.

Can we add "clarity" to this list? As in, "I hope (random activity/date/conversation) gives me clarity about our relationship."

If you were trying to give a wedding planner an idea of how you wanted everything to look, showing them pictures or referencing scenes from a movie would be more helpful than passages from a book. A Twilight wedding is not for me but it's not like she made Arie wear sparkle makeup. It's a ceremony in a forest setting. Even if she got the idea as a teenager watching the first Breaking Dawn, it's not particularly odd, as far as weddings go. At her age, she could just as easily have had a full Disney Princess or Harry Potter theme (which is fine, if it's your wedding and it makes you happy, but obviously stands out more as a fangirl thing compared to this). Wait---you're being nice, not snarky----I call foul! ; )

This show is painful to listen to. The accents are all over the place.

Colton looked like it was physically painful to call Dog Lady's name when he was handing out roses.

yes, shut up and bring on the bachelorettes. Chris's mom is a very handsome woman.

Not just American, but from Kentucky, no less. (I have Kentucky connections.) He's incredible and Incredibly believable in every role he plays.

I don't really like the new people. I don't really want to spend an hour and some change watching Michonne being billy badass and Henry being a smartass to the adults. I miss The Walking Dead.

I totally agree, mertensia! I have no plans to ever watch that suicide show. When I'm settling down in front of the tv with my cheetos, the last thing I want to watch is a series about a man who offed himself and his grieving family and friends. Epic fail.

For a motivational speaker, Eric sure is indecisive and mealymouthed. Krystal's voice is still annoying. And just stop with the affectation of coyness. Next she'll be batting her eyes at Chris. Chris, I think, is carrying around a lot of baggage, like 350 pounds of it. I think he may still have the mental image of being a fat kid--the fat kid who can't believe the beautiful yoga instructor wants HIM! Shu is either 1) in love with drama, 2) so damaged that she is trying to get (emotional) intimacy by fighting with her prospective boyfriends, or 3) following the TPTB instructions to the letter to stir up more BIP drama. I'm leaning towards door #3. ; ) Poor Diggy, coming in to bat clean up. Hope he makes a love connection. I think I like the raccoon more than any of the "contestants." And a PTV meet-up? Yes, please!

I think he chose the words that he knew would hurt the most, and maybe later---I'm hoping--might even regret them.

I so wanted Annaliese to scream at Jordan, "No, I won't be your sloppy seconds!!!!"

I like Grocery Store Joe, but the last time viewers fell for a contestant that they didn't know well was Juan Pablo, and we all know how that turned out. I guess time in BIP will tell.

ABC cast list for Arie's season lists her height as 5'7".

Jordan. . . the gift that keeps on giving . . .

Thank you!!!!

Yes, but as someone who lives in a blue area of North Carolina, where if I drive 30 miles down I-40, I am out where they marry their sisters, it is clear to me that "Southern Values" is not about toppling Confederate statues, drum circles, yoga, kale, and vegan gluten-free pizza the way it is in the area where I live. I suspect that Danielle has a very specific image in mind of "southern values", and it not about being Duck Dynasty, but about a "southern gentility" that required the ownership of other human beings in order to happen. I suspect hers is about women staying home and having teas and mint juleps with their friends while wearing gauzy dresses and white hats, having men tip their hats to them, and so on -- an image of "Gone With the Wind" -- before the war starts. Yep, I too live in a blue area of North Carolina, drive I-40 regularly and have NC roots that go back way before the Civil War. Don't know anybody that's married their sister and I can think of 2 cities (Chapel Hill and Asheville) that have sort of New Age-y values but most people I know are into ACC sports and barbecue. Kind of a broad generalization of what Danielle considers "southern gentility." Maybe she just wants the Southern hospitality we're known for. Sorry for the tirade--just had to represent!

Believe it or not, there are plenty of us who are Southern liberals, lol.

I was waiting for her to greet one of the dads that way. leighdear, you're on fire tonight!

I keep expecting him to say to Becca, "I have an offer you can't refuse." I'm seeing the Stockholm Syndrome so much this season. One girl. lots of guys, nothing for the guys to do but wait for a date. I mean, I know this is the premise every season, but for some reason I'm seeing it more this time around. Rather than hearing every Bachelorette say, "Family is everything to me," I'm waiting for one bachelorette to say, "I don't really like my family. I'm looking to make my own."

Thought I would really like Becca as The Bachelorette but she just seems to me to be d-u-l-l dull. But she also seems to be believing her own press, that all the guys are crazy for her. Also, Garrett seems handsome enough, but she seems to see a whole lot more than I see.
