If it turns out Jordan was in on it all along - What a hilarious scam on the whole Bachelor franchise! And since it would be so fitting with his pre-paradise personality, I kind of hope he WAS in on it. In other news: Amanda Stanton arrested for domestic violence

I assumed that their "fantasy suite" night involved some talking about the show's unrealistic expectation that couples get engaged at the end of the show. Joe seemed to understand how easy it is to get swept up in the fantasy, and was trying to figure out if what they had was real.

Yes - Tia and Annalise are similar in DEMANDING that the guy they want "TRY HARDER" to love them. It's a bizarre concept.

There's a PEOPLE article that says JOrdan found out about Jenna's affair. I linked it in the media thread.

jordan blindsided by Jenna's affair

I think Kamil has been TRYING to break up with Annalise for a while. She kept insisting he needed to "TRY". what does that mean? "Try to be in love with me, try to be happy with me, try to see our future together." She was desperate to find a man, desperate to get a proposal, then desperate to keep the man. Men don't like desperate!

I'm pretty sure Joe OWNS a grocery store - and that his family is in the grocery business, so I guess they have a number of stores. It's a lucrative business, I"m sure he's pretty financially secure. so yeah, Kendall is a moron.

what has happened to me a couple of times - my transaction is DONE, I'm ready to leave, just need my change or receipt. the cashier has it IN HER HAND, about to give it to me, when a co-worker distracts her with a question. she stops what she's doing, turns her head toward the co-worker, but her hand is in mid-air with my receipt, and she has a conversation, answers the question, whatever. I have to speak up, and say, "Hey, can I have my receipt? hello? Hey, excuse me, you have my change in your hand!" and I get a blank look until she remembers what she was in the middle of before the interruption. How hard is it to tell the co-worker, "just a second, let me finish this transaction?" Do one thing at a time, be mindful of what you're doing, you will make fewer errors. (and piss off fewer people).

Funny, yeah. But I kept thinking that they took two perfectly good, new stuffed animals and wrecked them by dragging them through the sand. This, added to the previously wrecked stuffed animals, made me sad. Why the hell do they have so many stuffed animals in Paradise anyway? Yeah, he's such a good Chicago guy, he always seemed familiar to me, like I've known him for a long time. He's like the good guy in a lot of movies - the guy that gets overlooked by the girl who friend-zoned him, until she gets burned by some other guy and realizes her "friend" was the one all along. He's too good for Kendall.

It should be easier for a short guy.

It does sound that way when she tells it. I bet her parents tell it differently though.

I wonder if Angela's parents had a different take on the "my parents FORCED me to do gymnastics " story. And I wonder how they felt hearing her tell it from her perspective.

But to me, the women in this ad are being portrayed negatively anyway. As horny old bats admiring a young guys muscles. Its creepy.

YEs, it cheapens a proposal to do it in such a public arena, because the person being proposed to is less likely to say no, for fear of looking like a jerk. They're more likely to accept the proposal, and let the person down later. Which is my guess as to what will happen with these two. Nicole's "OH MY GOSH!!" was cute once, but after 12-15 times, I wanted to stomp a mudhole in her. Someone tell me how a person with such an annoying voice, not only wins Big Brother, but also has TWO showmances and then gets engaged to another BB person? And, if they're going to tell the story of how they met on BB, why are they telling it like it was love at first sight? Nicole never even looked at Victor when she was on BB with him, she only had eyes for Corey. ( I can still hear her nasal voice saying his name)

Frank delivered the best LOOKING cake on the blue team, did the best job with the task of combining sweet and savory, and Robert pronounced his sponge as very good. His cake was praised, and then suddenly it was "bland." Why bother teach the decorating techniques, if they're OK with ugly tacky cakes? The red team - tell me Sarah never baked a cake before. Impossible. And then tell me that the bacon/jalapeno/whatever disgusting looking cake tasted good? It looked like a kid's science project gone wrong.

You've been talking to my sister? I call to talk about something, I ask "how are you?" She spends 20 minutes telling me how she is, what she's doing, what she's thinking, what she did yesterday, and then she says, "I have to go, good talking to you!"

This commercial bugs the hell out of me. It's funny for older women to be admiring a young man's physical assets. What if the genders were reversed? a bunch of old guys give a young women a tight sweater, then drool over her doing yard work?

Not all smoothies are like that. Yogurt, a banana a couple of strawberries and some protein powder is his preworkout drink.

Bananas in the freezer are great for blending with milk or yogurt to make smoothies.

Yeah, I have a family like that. IF someone is late, dinner is held up. Unless it's at my house. If I say dinner is at 6, it will be served by 6:15. If you arrive at 7, you can scrounge for leftovers. or you can have dessert and coffee with us. But don't expect me to serve you dinner.

I wonder if Joe was the pick for Bachelor, but since he "found love" on BiP, he passed on it. (wisely, because he'd look like an asshole f he ditched Kendal for The Bach gig). So Colton got it instead. But they weren't going to let Joe just leave, so DWTS was offered instead. I don't know where Joe's store is, I'm guessing it's on the South side of the city, though, judging by his accent.

DWTS is not about already being a good dancer. It's about taking a celebrity who s NOT a dancer, pairing them with a professional dancer, and watching them fumble, be coached, improve, and perform. And there are usually "ringers" who have a background in hip-hop dancing, gymnastics, or figure skating, who outshine all the others. It's fun to watch for the personalities of the contestants, I usually fast-forward through the performances of the "celebrities" I've never heard of.

who did you think it would be?

I agree. I think it is ridiculous and offensive, in most cases, to say that someone's sexual orientation is anything other than what they say it is. I say in most cases, because I make an exception for people whose sexual behavior contradicts how they present themselves. Since Colton was not pursuing anything with any of the guys, his sexual orientation is what he says it is.

I don't know if it's been talked about here or not. But that toilet paper commercial where the kids are supposed to describe feeling "CLEAN". Children are describing the "squeaky clean feeling" of wiping their bottoms after using the toilet. there's something wrong here.
