Boo on Katie. The self righteous tattletale gets rewarded for being a self righteous tattletale. Hiss.

Tom is in love with a fantasy and a memory.
Didn't he say he knew who she was in high school (i.e. the homecoming queen) but she didn't know him? Yeah, the plot thickens. It would be just like me meeting David Cassidy (RIP) when we were both adults and falling for him essentially only because of who he was years ago and not even caring what he was like now. Debbie seemed pretty entitled and Tom seems like the perfect man to cater to her every desire. Yes, Debbie, dreams do come true. An ongoing clean house? Not so much.

Well, I'm out. I wrote a post mentioning Harry, Rihanna, Cardi B and Nick Cannon, none of whom were on The Bachelor/ette, so I'm off topic. (Sorry, ByTor!) I've watched every bachelor/ette season except the first; I didn't even know that one was on until it was over. It's been fun but has gotten, I guess political, maybe, is the word?--which is fine, but I want fun. I was finishing out this season, so... It's been a (mostly) great time and I hope Katie's and Michelle's seasons are everything they want them to be.

IMO, Rachael was no more racially/culturally insensitive than Prince Harry who, at age 20, went to a costume party dressed as a Nazi, or Rihanna, who has dressed up like the Pope for a gala in 2018, or Cardi B, who referred to her daughter as having "ch*nky eyes", or Nick Cannon, who once dressed up in whiteface and recently was fired from (but later reinstated to) a show for making anti-Semitic comments on his podcast; all were insensitive either to race or creed and all are still held in good standing. Rachael, a non-celebrity, is an easy target and everyone is happy to pile on.

I love how female-friendly Michelle is. It’s a warmth that radiates from her.
I hate to gush and fan girl out but Michelle is the whole package. She's beautiful. kind, intellectual, has a stable, service-oriented career, great role models in her parents--I would love her to be the next bachelorette, but only if she thinks it is the thing to do.

Michelle is so beautiful and kind. I think I like her too much for her to be bachelorette?

I also disagree that Rachel is acting ungrateful for the opportunities The Bachelor gave her. They also made money off of her. She fulfilled her duties. She doesn't have to stay silent when she sees racism. They hired her knowing she had these critiques about them.
I don't know; to me, Rachel's comments/actions scream "I've got mine! I'm set! Now I'm going to circle back to the show that gave me $100,000, true love and a platform that has allowed me to co-host 2 podcasts and work as a correspondent for Extra and have lots of followers on social media-- and I'm going to cut it off at the knees!" I'm guessing Rachel saw what she considered racism when she was a bachelorette on Nick's season. She then chose to accept the position of The Bachelorette and called out the show for racist practices. From what she's received from and believes about the franchise, it seems like she wants to have her cake and eat it, too, in that she considers the show racist but she's profiting off it. She's also back on Instagram (she deleted her account due to the backlash she received from the interview with Chris Harrison) after deleting her account 8 days ago. 8 days. Way to make a statement, Rach! But I guess being off Instagram too long will affect your bottom line. Here's her coup de grâce: "I'm not going to give any opinion on what I think should happen with the franchise, what I think (Harrison's) role should be moving forward," she said. "I think something is getting lost here, and that is, I'm not on the show anymore. I went on Bachelor, Bachelorette, I found my husband. I moved on."* She said this earlier this week--after starting a shi*storm because of her unhappiness with the show, unhappiness that threatened to topple a 20 year career and that villainized a current contestant. Wow--you've moved on from Bachelor Nation? You could have fooled me.
*said last week on her Higher Learning podcast

Okay so Uncle Beau is really Cousin Beau but then Uncle Beau referred to Mike as his nephew.
I think it may be because there is about a 15 year age gap between the 2 of them. My dad's oldest sister left for college a few months after he was born, and my dad married late and I was his last born so one of my aunts was 60 the year I was born. There is a 26 year gap between me and the oldest first cousin on that side of the family, and a 24 year gap to the next oldest. This did make the relationship between us more like aunt/uncle and niece although I never referred to them as that. I think Mike should have picked one relationship and stuck with it instead of throwing out this cousin/nephew combo in his second season
There was some cartoon a few years back called Uncle Grandpa. Mike's designation of Beau as cousin/nephew makes about as much sense as Uncle Grandpa.

I love graphic/messsage tees. My friends and family get a kick out of them. I’ve been stopped by strangers to take pictures of my shirts. I wouldn’t be embarrassed at all.
I’m a 48 (in a couple hours) year old woman.
Happy Birthday!
I love graphic tees, too. I have one that reads
"Let's eat Grandma.
Let's eat, Grandma.
Punctuation saves lives."
I had a lady in Wal-Mart want to take my picture and several people have asked where I got it.

Erik's friend. As with Ryan, I don't understand how men with protruding ears don't have haircuts that balance (Read: hide) them.
I have a 2 word solution: spirit gum.
(You youngsters, look it up.) 🙂
Actually, everybody might need to look it up. I don't think it's common knowledge. I only heard about it once, from my mom. It's an old timey solution for protruding ears that my mom told me about when I was little.
It's an adhesive that keeps your ears from sticking out.
(No, I've never used it--just heard about it.)

These two men ministering to ugly Chris are fyne😋.
And stupid. Not intellectually but stupid to try and give advice and reason with a narcissist like Chris. Why are they giving any credence to Chris at all? He comes in, says his ex-fiancée is pregnant and then just sits there, waiting to be the center of attention as they talk all about Chris. When he says he wants to divorce Paige and they say that he should stay with his wife, this is not what he wants to hear and he's done and ready to leave. Surely by now these men know what a narcissist he is. The pastor says Chris's child will know him and he doesn't need to stay with his ex-fiancée to raise his child. Normally I would think it best for the child to be in a 2 parent home but I would hate to foist Chris on an innocent child full time. No matter--he'll probably raise the child in his own image whether he's in the home or not---which is just what the world needs--another Chris.

I love him, too.
I went on Amazon and ordered this book. It's due to come in by mid-March.
If anyone wants to read it after I do, send me a message with your address and I'll send it on to you.
You can send it on to the next person who wants to read it---if there is one!
I'm serious! All you Jerry Orbach lovers, let me know!
Gosh, he was only 69 when he died---gone too soon.
And to bring this back to MAFS--this is an interesting season. I don't think we've ever had anybody quite like Chris. The thought of him bringing a little Chris into the world is scary. One Chris is more than enough.

Perhaps for social media clout, $$$$, and possibly to be the next Bachelorette or on BIP? Bachelor Nation can be very lucrative
Yes, perhaps Rachel Lindsay could speak to this.
She made (per RS) about $100,000 as bachelorette. She cohosts a radio show, 2 podcasts and has worked as a correspondent for Extra.
Now she spends her time talking sh*t about the show that is the reason she has all these gigs.

I will say this about the choice of Emmanuel Acho, I think it's far easier for someone to catch up on a season of The Bachelor in a few days in order to host a show about that season than it is to find someone who can catch up with racial issues enough in order to lead a discussion about race over the span of a few days.
He doesn't need to know "bachelor nation" to host this show. He only needs to know this season because ATFR usually only focuses on this season.
That's why I think they need a professional--someone who is trained to facilitate a discussion about race. I'm sure there are a multitude of universities they could turn to for guidance.

I don't think it should be *about* race, but it definitely needs to get over its blind spots regarding race. Race and ethnic/cultural background is almost always discussed when people are dating interracially, so the show should reflect that. They should also do a better job of vetting prospective contestants' social media presence and avoid casting unrepentant racists. That's not too much to ask, IMO.
5 hours ago, tinkerbell said:well, nobody thinks the Bachelor franchise should be all about race. But in some communities, and certainly in some families, dating outside your race is a HUGE issue. So I do think that conversations about the issue need to be had, and shown. The way the show has been, it's like when people try to say they "don't see race" in order to ignore the issue. OR people who want to date outside their race because "biracial babies are so cute", or even people who date outside their race in order to try to prove something to others. Bringing up the issue on one-on-one dates, sharing real feelings about race, would be much more authentic than having a whole season ignore the issue, and then bring it up in the after-shows.
I'm not talking about it being a FOCUS of an entire season. But, when hometown visits, or visits with parents are looming, a conversation about family's views on race is important.
Yes, race needs to be discussed, as does religion, salaries, spending habits, where to live etc. But these conversations are not usually shown. Didn't Tayshia eliminate one of her guys, maybe Ivan? because of religious differences? They obviously talked about religion, just not on camera. If there is an interracial couple on The Bachelor/ette, I'm sure they discuss race. It's just a personal conversation, just as money, religion, salaries etc are.
And yes, TPTB think that the Bachelor franchise currently should be all about race.

Emmanuel Acho is not just some rando ex-jock. Let's see how he does before we critique him.
In my experience, you don't need post-doc work in social anthropology to figure out The Bachelor. Bu then. Emmanuel won't bring the experience hosting Mall Masters that Chris has.
No, but he is someone outside The Bachelor universe. So he has no experience there. His background is football. He does, I understand, a weekly web series called Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man. So I'm assuming at some point in the show he'll talk about race. If so, since TPTB have decided against anyone with experience with the show, I would prefer someone who has educational qualifications (maybe in sociology, psychology, social anthropology) to facilitate a discussion on a sensitive topic.

Here’s Jake’s truth...Jake has never been the boyfriend. He wants the full boyfriend experience.
Jake is okay to seduce and grind on in the closet or gym alley, to have revenge sex with during “breaks” in the regular relationship, to text for a booty call but he is not the guy you want to bring to grandma’s for your family’s Easter brunch, the work picnic, the alum fundraiser because he acts too weird, he dresses too weird, he cannot banter, he is a wet blanket in a group. Jake’s good qualities get lost in his over eagerness to convince you he is awesome.
Unfortunately, Jake thinks he is charming , debonair, interesting, witty but in actuality he comes off as bizarro and tone deaf to the flow of conversation, to the room. His incessant talking about neon makes me want to hit my head with a hammer. He is the guy that you start back peddling when he walks up to the group to chat...feigning the need to freshen your drink, make a call, to talk to anyone else on the other side of the room away from Jake.
Jake’s confession of his feelings getting hurt when women treat him as a side of beef as the “side piece” was his cry for help.
Jake wants to be accepted by the mainstream, represented by the friend group that is Haley’s lifeline but those lemmings do not like people who are too unique, dress in odd costumes for comic effect, who can’t chat about bland things in life.
Jake’s nerd friends tried to warn him that he will not convince anyone that 80’s detritus is cool and his insistence of talking about nothing else will hurt him with his new friends.Jake’s need for PDA...and Haley’s rejection of his touching her is telling.
Hand holding is a phase he missed in middle school and high school when he was an insecure chubby mathlete, watching the popular group eating at the popular table laughing, having fun and obviously ignoring him.
He wants a popular girl who is proud to be seen with him in full freak mode...jorts, MembersOnly white jacket in his mullet wig, who can make him feel he is part of that group as they go to alum football weekends and party at sorority and frat alum functions.
He is hurt that his wife still makes him feel he is on the outside looking inside....but he is too stubborn and proud to change.
And Jake shouldn’t change unless he wants to change.
He can ride and die on his one note personality.
This is brilliant, Bravo
