I loved that. He was right on. She is always judging him and rude. Name a moment she was critical of him. Hmmm

She thinks she is in charge of everything. You can never win.

I haven’t finished the episode yet but the line dancing scene in the beginning made me lol!

Thank goodness! Now Amazing Race can come on at 9 again :-)

Thank you! I just watched it in horror and was so sad for Geoff every time she did it. She was so mean and he looked so left out. It was very sad. Glad I wasn't the only one...

I agree. I think he was being kind of a jerk. And just now he was a bigger jerk for no real reason. I think he just wants to look like he is the nice one and tries to elevate himself by making the other person look bad.

Sometimes I don't mind the limited coverage of events on NBC. As I don't always have time to watch the full event, and the smaller coverage works better to get the basics of what went on at the event. As for NBC/ DVR-- I am guessing it is those not watching on streaming or cable that can't DVR it? I watch with you tube TV subscription so I am able to dvr those events, but it would be a bummer not to be able to. Either way I totally get all of the frustrations as it is hard to find good skating coverage these days! As for Starr, I was happy for her great performance, but she just has always really been boring to me. She is lacking presence or something, but she did do well at this competition.

We can agree to disagree on this one. I found her behavior more troubling than usual, but everyone can see it differently and that is fine.

I was the opposite... I thought Bev had been a lot better this season and then regressed a lot this episode. I found it a bit heartbreaking how she treated Geoff when he wanted to spend time with his daughter and thought she was awful. yes she came around in the end but that is typical for a Goldberg's episode and doesn't really dismiss how awful they act sometimes. And yes it is nice to have help but you really need that bonding time in the beginning as well--it is really important for the baby and the parents, imo. I agree about Adam...I hate when the friend changes so much and acts like they are better than the one left behind, and that is supposed to be "okay". No, you should still have some sense of how to treat people you care about...

You summed that up very well! Covers many of the reasons why it bothered me how they did the twist.

I think with Love Island it works better just because they know it is coming. I know the Bachelor likes their twists and surprises, but they could have made it more fun for the cast and viewers had it not been thrown out there like -- you will be leaving and the guys will have new women coming, lol. By doing it the way they did they kind of set the women up for failure. I think the men would have handled it better, because men care less about things like this :-) They would have partied it up at the hotel. At any rate, I don't care about any of these people that much so I am not standing up for them, just saying it kind of sucked for the viewers too, but this whole season kind of sucks :-)

At first I felt the same way, until I saw the impact of them actually having to leave where the main area where the show is filmed and all of the main activity takes place. I agree they could have participated more, and that is on them. However, I think the guys had it far easier...they were in their home base where they had grown comfortable, had the women come to them, and even the guys didn't spend tons of time with the girls -- much of the time they just hung out with each other. I think the women having to leave made them uncomfortable because they had to pack up, weren't given much information, were thrown in a hotel with no idea what was going on -- it came across as an afterthought versus a fun, planned change. I just didn't like the vibe of them returning and the feeling like they no longer belonged as the new women (and many of the men) just stared at them like, who are you and what are you doing here? It was just very strange and I just think this twist could have been done so much better. I think it should have been brought up earlier so everyone knew it was going to happen later on, and made it clear that both the men and women would have new people to meet and have the relationships tested. And as others have mentioned, just having someone take over your room that you have been staying in, for some is a very awkward feeling.

I hate how the girls that left have to be treated like the extras. And they are stuck with nothing….the show really messed this up. They should have just had new people come on the beach like they normally did. It just makes everyone that is still there so smug.

I felt the same way. on another note, Kate is a weird freak.

Yeah, agreed. And it was kind of like they were punished for who knows what. And the girls at the beach act like who are these girls? Um, the ones that were there before you?

I really don’t care about any of the relationships but they really treated the women poorly. They made them leave after making them form relationships to stay. And the guys had it easier as they didn’t have to pack and leave. They had the new women come to them, which I think was probably easier than being shipped off to some random place. It isn’t testing their relationships when they hardly had time to get to know each other…it is just ending it before it even started.

I think they were trying the twist to see if it would make it more interesting, but as usual their cast is dull as dishwater, so it didn't work, lol. I agree with you. I also think they will have to do something different to keep it going as it has lost a lot of momentum over the years. So they will try something else to keep it alive.

Could they have made this season more boring? Literally nothing happens. They all just sit around and that is it. Lol

Agreed. I just do other things while it is on, waiting for Amazing Race.

That is the first real conversation I have seen yet. It actual seemed normal and intelligent. Lol

I felt bad for the girl left behind though... she is one of them I like and seems like she deserved an option to go on (other than the new guy that is clearly a flake, lol!)

So I guess the biggest question is what does it mean that the guy that left is unwell? Lol

She needs a new occupation…she is not motivational speaker material.

This morning when they had a run of this show, I saw a part of an episode that I didn’t know the celebrity. But it was annoying as the person had a pretty nice house and remodeled kitchen. The brothers said that they clearly take pride in their home, but then went on to be insulting saying things like, it looks good on the surface but this kitchen will fall apart in a year, their cheap laminate floors , etc. They could have said the homeowners might enjoy some updates…as if I watched that back I would be mad to hear all of that after I took the time to update things in my home. We don’t all have hgtv money and access to the most expensive things. And of course they took a beautiful wall color and painted it white. Shocker.

Yes I know, I was being sarcastic. Lol
