Well lightening may struck twice in the same place but it's highly unlikely. My guess is he's convinced he's the next Richard Marx.Richard's dad was a jungle writer too and one of them wrote the famous, "two scoops of raisins, two scoops of raisins in Kelloggs Raisin Bran!" But like I said what's the odds of that, right? Richard Marx was extremely fortunate ( dad in the business) and talented. So dream on Jed but I'm not waiting on your equivalent to "Right Here Waiting" to come out anytime soon.

I'm pretty sure that was on Nick's season. It was in an old southern plantation and it was during the episode they were in New Orleans. Something about not touching the dolls and then a doll dissappeared. Silly stuff. I remember the escape room 1on 1 but can't remember who's season it was.

I remember that group date and yes the guys were horrible spellers. Can't remember for sure which season it was but I want to say it was either JoJo:'s or Rachel's.

I've been noticing her missing too which is strange because (contrary to your wishes Judy) she seemed to be all in for Hannah on Colton's season. Or at least until I stopped reading her posts, (which sure gave that indication) so unless she's changed her mind I would probably find another partner in snark. But as they say different strokes for different folks. I personally am loving Hannah as bette and count me as one who had serious doubts about her being ready. She's been a pleasant surprise for me so far. Seriously though I hope everything is fine with her.

For the most part I'm enjoying Hannah and all her quirks. And on a shallow note she may not be the most attractive bette they've had but that's ok because I relate more to that. She is a pretty lady. But I will say (as someone else pointed out earlier) her and/or her stylist are killing it. Red is definitely her color. I've noticed she's wore it more than once and looks great in it. She has a very attractive figure as well. When she wears sleeveless gowns you can see her arms are very toned. The last Bette I remember looking that good in her clothes with a great figure was JoJo.

Someone pointed out in the episode thread that they thought Taysia wasn't really that much into Colton and was just playing nice. She's also the one whose been divorced. According to some google searches I found out she is over 100,000 in debt after said divorce. Which has only been recent. If she made it to final 4 and then got eliminated she would have a great chance at getting the bette spot. Which we know pays in the six figure range. Could this have something to do with what the others were picking up on, I wonder??

It's when the women run to the Bachelor when they first see him (usually on a one on one) and jump into his arms and wrap their legs around him. It's the wrapping the legs around him that's key to the BH. It's totally unnecessary but it's been done so many times now that it would seem out of the ordinary (but welcome) if they didn't.

I was one who swore I would not watch but broke down and caught a episode. I wanted to be at least a little familiar with the women as to know the next Bette somewhat. But I have to agree that the season is going much better than I expected. He's actually pulling off that he's interested in these women's lives and is way more articulate than I thought he would be. I agree as @HappyDancex2 said that he's not as boring as Arie was. But I don't believe for a instant that he's actually wanting to be married at the end of this. Like Nick Viall or Jordan Rogers I believe he's hoping to parlay this into a acting or maybe a sportscasting role.

Also remember on Arie's season when he flew Krystal to Scotsdale to meet his family early on in the season on a one on one. Lots of comments about how odd and premature that was. And I don't trust the editing at all on this show. Misleading to say the least. Yeah I noticed that too. Made sure she got her digs in at Arie and Colton didn't she? Wonder how much ass she had to kiss to get that spot?

My choice would be between Hannah G or Tayshia. Both are gorgeous in their own unique way and I think either would be popular with the men. I guess opinions could change slightly to favor one over the other as the season progresses but as of right now my choice would be between one of those two.

Exactly. This is an old production trick anyway. How many times I've screamed at the tv, "have you never seen the premise of this show", when these girls come up with this bs. And for so much crying I never saw one tear. She had to turn her head at one point to pretend to wipe tears. After all that I'm sure she'll end up on BIP. This show is getting so obvious. And a bad actress to boot. What is she, like 12? That was embarrassing.

I thought it was, designated ugly fat friend. According to my teenage daughter that's what the 2015 teen movie, The Duff intended it to mean.

I have never not watched because I hated who they picked. Colton is the first time I've considered it but funnily enough the one thing that made me reconsider was knowing I wouldn't be familiar with the Bachelorette or BIP'ers. I guess I will just have to muddle through it since I am hopelessly addicted to this silly show! Hopefully he won't be as bad as I thought he would be.

I don't feel sorry for him at the moment and can't see changing my mind or watching his season although it's a long time between now and January and disappointment can wane over time. And TPTB have a way of changing our viewpoints depending on their editing. I have a feeling the producers will be painting Colton in as good a light as possible based on the viewer backlash over him being chosen. You would think they would have to be worried about their ratings but Reality Steve brought up a good point. Which is that they probably aren't worried because every year they have people who threaten to not watch because they don't like the pick but ultimately do watch because their ratings never suffer. Still I have never seen this strong of a backlash in my history of watching so time will tell I guess.

According to Reality Steve he has a big following on IG (I think it was or possibly Twitter) way more than Jason or Blake. Must be a silent majority then because where are they? Why aren't they speaking up in support of him? I don't know, nothing about this pick makes sense.

That would explain a lot.

I ashamed to say I watched it too but were we watching the same thing? She actually finished as the runner up on the Proposal. I remember being surprised she made it that far.

Stan39, it wouldn't take much to be better than Arie was. It's really just trading one boring storyline for another IMO. That's just it though @Mabinogia I don't think Colton is serious about finding anyone. And I have to disagree about him having the producers snowed. I don't think they believe he's looking for anything serious either. They are hoping we will believe it though.

I know that people will say that Ben H was a producers dream, willing to do whatever they asked so in that way he is similar to Colton. But Ben was way more articulate than Colton will ever be. I can't see how they thought Ben would bring the Most. Drama. Evar. though. He was pretty boring and tame IMO. I think the position goes to whoever kisses the producers _____ the most and being willing to do whatever asked. Colton as Bachelor? Ugh. This shows not even trying to fool us anymore into even slightly believing these guys are looking for anything serious. I prefer to be fooled myself. I know it's mostly fake but I do enjoy it when something lasting comes out of this mess, albeit not very often. We might as well be watching Unreal.

That's always been my understanding of, "helmut hair". Rounded, hard and plastered to the head. Reminds me of the movie, "Steel Magnolias" in which Julia Roberts' character Shelby is always telling her mother, played by Sally Field, that she has "helmut hair". But only after Shelby heartbreakingly dies does her mother, after asking one of her friends at the funeral for a mirror, break down crying saying, "Shelby's right, I do have helmut hair!"

I can see this happening. And there are guys out there who would rather die or bring up other reasons than admit they were cheated on. It hurts their egos too much. Garrett seems the type. And the way his family acted makes more sense if that were the case.

I'm a little late posting but my thoughts echo many that's been stated. I agree that Colton is fake, has been since day one and I have no interest in seeing him as the Bachelor. That would be such a boring and tedious season. Not sure if this Tia angle is a set up between them so both can get what they want. Why would Tia need to go to those extremes to secure a spot on BIP? She went pretty far on Arie's season, was/is well known, not like some who go out episode 3 or under and viewers are like, "who"? And we know that even they show up from time to time. Grocer Joe is a prime example this upcoming season. But unless we assume that they all have to jump through hoops to get there I don't see why it was necessary for Tia to perform her lovelorn act to get there. I do believe however that TPTB needed to stir up some drama in this otherwise dull season and Tia was more than willing to perform. I haven't liked her since Arie's season and think she's a classic example of a famewhore. So please TPTB no Colton bachelor season! I'm sick of both him and Tia but I suppose we'll have to endure both on BIP. Maybe we can hope they'll bring plenty of snarky drama. I'm just blah on Garrett. Whether you agree with his "likes" or not it really shows his lack of intelligence IMO. If your thinking of even remotely appearing on this show in the future why would you "like" such controversial and demeaning memes? Not very smart. Take Ben H for example. He didn't try to hide he was conservative but I could never imagine him doing anything that disgusting. But one thing I find curious is why hasn't Garrett's ex come out to tell her side of this short lived marriage. I can see not wanting the publicity but the show keeps harping on it and were I in her shoes it would be hard to not defend myself. Maybe there's more truth to it than not? Makes me wonder. Blake seems to be the most truly in love with Becca and he would probably be her best choice but she would need to get the guy some counseling before even attempting to marry him IMO. And lastly Jason. He is my hands down favorite. If she doesn't pick him (and I don't think she will) then I think he would make a good Bachelor. He comes across level headed, smart and very appealing IMO. His hair is the least of my worries. I'm sure the show will take care of that. Jason for the next Bachelor!

Plus if you'll remember Ben H and Shawn roomed together and Ben talked about how she came to their room when cameras weren't around. So unless the show got more vigilant after Kaitlyn's season then yeah I believe the contestants can see each other when cameras aren't around, if they want to bad enough.

I actually missed the first 45 minutes so I didn't see Colton's big confession. So I can't say which one was better although I thought Wills done pretty darn good. Ha..I too was worried he was going to be sick and was thinking, "no I really don't want to see that visual show. I get it. I'm good". I was ready to turn my head and plug my ears..lol. But speaking of Colton's confession I wonder what bombshell Tia's going to drop next week or if that's just the show teasing and then not delivering.

Yeah I don't think he'd be that good either but I still think they were auditioning him just in case.
