Because of this show's history of having way too many singers, I always half watch this show so I don't get annoyed at the end that I wasted too much time on it. This season I did that, and I did notice throughout that less singers were making it through the voting rounds, which gave me hope. But after seeing the one guy leave at #5, I was shocked because as you all said, they kept giving him the story, the pimp spot, they even got Garth involved, etc, I figured we were doomed to see him as the winner. And Shin Lim winning was the icing on the cake as he was always my favorite from the shows I did see. I don't know what happened after all of these years, as America is terrible at voting talent through in this show, and this year, they didn't do half bad! :-)

But are they stupid enough to think the people up north don't have storms and devastation? Do they not watch the news? Let's consider the hurricanes that occur farther north or inland, let's consider the blizzards that some areas get all winter long. These are not tough people? Ugh, they are so annoying. Thanks for explaining though, as I didn't know about this either.

The newborn photographers do so many creative things these days. I just see it like that, and it is a beautiful pic. Cole is such a sweet person--you can tell how happy he is with his family.

I guess I just don't get it. To actually be planning a wedding while you have another boyfriend? How and why do you do that? Anyone would have to realize at some point it can't continue, and weddings are important and not cheap. This is so weird.

She is so weird. I love how she asks for prayers for her first and then adds other people to look nice. Lol. But really their land is very low and they are very close so I don’t understand why she thinks they are safer than others. Even if it is not in a flood zone large amounts of rain can still cause flooding.

Plus I think noone watches it anymore (well not as many people), so for the most part they are getting paid and noone will really notice. I think the early Bachelor couples got more attention about doing it because they were the first to do it, now it seems like a normal money making prospect. But I agree, I think it isn't a good idea to do it, and it isn't the kind of thing I would do at all.

Wow. Leah looks great. I also can’t believe how quickly Addie got so cute.

I was so happy to see Khiem win, and you could tell they were glad he did too--he definitely had the best end product, and he really put thought into his work which was sweet. Amber was lacking quite a bit this episode. Jo was okay, but I think they both knew Khiem had it after seeing his altar.

Well at least we are sane enough to see her issues here. Looking at her instagram posts and all of these people that fawn over such an irresponsible person is simply maddening. This is a place to remind us all that we are not completely crazy! lol

I have noticed that too! Yes, but you are staying at a resort...that is not a staycation. A staycation is being at home or maybe a day trip or maybe one night at a hotel out of convenience. Not that you go to some expensive resort and stay for several days with your huge family. Seriously, glad someone else said this as this has always annoyed me. It just shows you how "not smart" she is. lol If I went to the beach in my home state and stayed a few days, I would not call that a staycation. Ugh.

I think it made sense that Jo won the second challenge--I think she did a good job of choosing something that suited her and was creative/difficult at the same time. So glad Billy finally went home. I think he should have gone sooner, personally.

What does anyone see in Chris? He seems icky.

This show is really bad, and it is so creepy how they hang out behind a screen, and these people are really vying for the love of some person they don't even know (and can't see). Seriously? You would be so desperate that you would hope to marry some hidden person? I was watching it for a while too, and I have no idea why, but I had to stop. It is seriously bad tv.

I do keep wondering why they like Billy so much. I find most of his work very sloppy. It is creative, but some of his stuff is just odd--I didn't get the muscle/4th of July concept, I guess.

Can they please get her some nicer glasses? They look like a man’s glasses from 20 years ago.

Honestly, I need to stop looking at updates for these girls. I stopped watching both shows which improved my life, but I need to take it a step further now by not involving myself in their stupid decisions. I just hate how Kail has become this person that flashes monetary items to brag about what she perceives as being rich. I honestly don't want a car like that and can see the value in having a used Honda Pilot, and am fine with that, but it does bother me to see these young girls throwing money around and acting like idiots on social media all the while pretending they have the best life ever. You can't help but think why does this loser get the opportunity to take trips, buy expensive cars, etc, while most people don't and can't? The logical side understands why and knows they will be in reality eventually, but the other side says, hey this isn't fair.

I have to say this rendition of BIP has been fairly interesting. I usually get really bored but the relationship change ups have been better than usual. Often everyone is coupled up awkwardly to just stay on the show. I think the changes are more natural and how it should be in paradise.

Yes. I just said something nice about him and now I take it back. Lol

I am kind of liking this Jordan and Jenna thing. He is almost likeable. Wow. I dont remember her either.

I can’t take this. The last one might as well have been a weekend party. I just don’t get why these weddings were featured. I am hardly a snob about weddings but this episode was cringeworthy for me.

This episode is not good. The first wedding is just not that great. I don’t mind the simplicity but it just doesn’t really fit with this show. It just seems there should be more interesting weddings? I have nothing against small simple weddings as I had a very informal reception but I also wasn’t on TV.

It is so weird because they really don't make "that" much money. Yes, it is a lot for them, but the way these girls spend, I honestly don't know how they afford it all. If they make $300K a year, a big portion of that goes to taxes, leaving them making not all that much more than a nice middle class family. So yes, it is still a lot, but not the way they spend. Most people I know that make a decent income aren't doing what they do. They aren't buying new cars all of the time, driving cadillacs, etc. And they pay their taxes, so I guess that is the difference. The TM girls take home all of their money because for some reason they don't have to pay taxes. Okay, I get it now.

I never understand why the girls on the Bach shows do that. Who does that in real life? Have you ever been tempted to jump on the man you are dating? I have certainly not...I would worry I would knock them over. I am not huge--just average, but I am not petite either, and besides that it isn't something I ever considered.

Isn't it scary that she was actively TRYING to become pregnant with Ryan's baby? Watch out for baby number 2, Ryan--she has a tried and true method she posts on instagram.

What? That was so confusing. I don't think their situations were similar at all really. I am not saying that the Bachelor franchise is ever very nice to anyone, so she has some points about her finale, but that said, they don't really owe her anything. and honestly if she met her future husband, isn't that really good enough at this point? I always found Rachel a bit snobby, and yes she is coming across as angry here.
