Of course it is all in the editing but I noticed Christian only spoke about his desire to get Sarah's rose and sticking around longer. I did not hear him say anything in particular about Sarah and why or whether he was into her. I think we got two producer-driven roses last night. One I was happy about (Nick) and the other, not so much (Evan).
Correct me if I'm wrong, but last week wasn't Christian talking a lot about how much he liked Sarah and was really into her? I don't know if something happened in the meantime to cool him off, or if, as you said, it's the editing and those two or three comments were pulled out of hours of THs and anything he might have said about liking her were left on the cutting room floor.
Heaven help me, last night I was begging for someone to give Nick a rose. DH thought I was crazy, but darned if my feelings about Nick from his Bachelorette seasons haven't done a complete 180. Evan, OTOH, is not only the same s***-stirrer he was on Jojo's season, but now he's also a stalkery creep who imagines himself in love with any woman who will give him half a second's attention--and even some who won't. He makes my skin crawl.

So if this the pairing they're going for over Thomas and Caroline (thank God), why the actual fuck did they split up CaRidge for?!
I wouldn't be so sure yet that they're not going to eventually explore Thomas and Caroline to some degree, but they aren't much of a story if it's not part of some triangle, so first they have to create a triangle. Enter Sasha. Whether it ends up Thomas/Sasha or Thomas/Caroline remains to be seen, but just because it's not happening yet doesn't mean it won't happen.

Sarah, Sarah, Sarah..."either he goes or I go" isn't a threat. Chad is dangerous and crude and in desperate need of therapy, true, but I'd rather watch his antics than your sad sack whining any day of the week. It's a shame, because I used to like and root for Sarah, too.
As for Chad, ugh, his behavior is reprehensible, but he was totally railroaded. TPTB knew exactly what they were doing, bringing in that passive aggressive little pissant Evan, (or as Jubiliee called him, and I will always love her for this, "penis guy") and plying him with alcohol all night long. Worse though is that there is no way Chris Harrison didn't know what was happening every minute of the night, yet instead of stepping in when Chad was actually a potential danger to anyone, they just happily filmed away and waited until the next morning when he had sobered up and was no longer a threat (not that he wouldn't have been the minute he got another drink in his hand) to boot him. And Chris with his "it has come to my attention..." Please. Chad needs to go, but the least BIP could do for him is pay for his therapy.
About the hair, I was going to comment on how bad Carly's looked until I remembered that when I was in Mexico, mine did the very same thing. It didn't matter how much time I spent blow drying and curling it, the minute I stepped outside, it was all over. She could have done something about that horrid color though. As it was, it looked like she put a bowl over her head and spray painted the rest of it blonde.
I have no idea who Izzy was and barely remember Vinny, but if they turn out to be this season's Jade and Tanner and spend the summer making out in a hammock, more power to them.
As for the rest...I don't know what it means when Nick Viall ends up being my favorite guy of the evening, but darned if he wasn't.

It was discouraging watching Ridge was tell his sad "lost my job, my son and my wife" story to Brooke. He'd done the same thing telling Brooke about his vasectomy and Caroline was infected with baby rabies. For once Ridge needed to talk to Caroline about his disappointments, but his ego won't get out of the way of being honest with his wife. He's already thrown in the towel.
One thing I really hate about this show is how often instead of seeing the people actually involved in a relationship talking about the state of that relationship, we see others/them with others talking about the relationship.* I don't think I could care less about Ridge and Caroline at this point-the writing was on the wall as far back as September/October when he told her that if the truth about Douglas got out, they would lose "everything." It was clear then what the writers had planned; I'm only surprised it took this long to get there. Even so, it's disappointing not to have even one scene, unless I've missed it, where we get to see any follow up to that pivotal moment when Caroline crashed Ridge's world down around him and Ridge handed Douglas over to Thomas.
*Unless you're Steffy or Liam, in which case all you ever get to talk about is the relationship that was stolen from you, which isn't any better.

It took me a week to get through most of last Monday's episode, and this week I barely got through one HTD. I'm done with this Most Boring Season Ever. Bring on BIP!!!

I didn't care too much which one went home because neither of them was going to win, anyway. Joy this week and Ana next week or vice versa, makes no difference in the end. Regardless, I'd watch Ana's or Joy's show over Tregaye's any day of the week. That woman has been on my last nerve since week 1, but I fear she'll win because she's got "Personality!!!!" What I don't like is how mean they were to Ana, as if it were her fault the judges keep saving her. Perhaps Ana's not likable, but it says a lot about the other contestants' character the way they were acting--and on camera, no less. Also I've never understood why the food needs to taste so great. Obviously you don't want it to be horrible, but they're on TV; all it needs is to look good and for the host(s) to be able to sell it, since nobody's going to be able to taste it anyway.

If I set aside the stupidity of the story and just focus on the interactions, I enjoyed Brooke and Ridge today for the first time since that flashback scene at the fountain. I didn't feel burning passion, but there was a nice friendship between them. I'd rather see Brooke be strong and have a story without a man, but I think if the story calls for it and TK turns on the charm, he and KKL might have some chemistry.

Is Katie's apology to Brooke real or is Katie just laying a guilt trip on Brooke. Is Katie that smart or is she just following the 12 step program? I know that Liam and Brooke are not related but Liam does have Brooke's squint down pay. I guess Steffy can't squint because of her Botox injections.
I thought it was real because that's how BB does irony: Oh, look, Katie accused Brooke of trying to steal her husband when nothing was going on between them, and now that it is, she's all sorry and forgiving. Gotta love Katie saying to Brooke, "What's mine is yours." The only thing missing was Brooke replying, "I'm already on it."

I'm trying to understand Ridge's reasoning with Thomas: "If you're the man I think you are, you'll walk away and let me raise your child." Except Ridge thinks Thomas is so horrible he can barely stand to look at him, in which case, a man like that would do no such thing. OTOH, if Thomas did what Ridge asked of him, wouldn't it prove that he actually is mature enough to be at least a part time father to Douglas? Regardless of what anyone thinks of Thomas, he's in a no win situation, without even a chance at leveling the playing field.

I know I'm completely alone here, but I'm on Team Thomas all the way. I detest this version Ridge, and to hopefully see Thomas take off with the baby makes me want to rub my hands with glee. The only thing to have made it better yesterday was if Thomas threw in another punch to Ridge's ugly smug face while he was threatening Thomas with losing his position at FC. You go boy!
Hatie, OTOH, can take several seats. I do agree with her that Sludge and his Child Bride shouldn't have lied to Thomas about the baby, but side with Caroline that Thomas should have been told on Ridge's and her's terms.
You're not alone. I loathe Katie. What she did has nothing to do with what's best for Douglas and totally smacks of "you stole Ridge from me, so, yeah...karma, bitch."
On the other hand, I also loathe Ridge and Caroline, so I'm strangely horrified and gleeful at the same time by Katie outing them. Thomas is turning out to be the least despicable of the bunch, so I'm in his corner by default.
QuoteI am alone as well, I don't see Thomas as a rapist because Caroline doesn't.
Also this.

All the defensive over-reacting from both of them has been a red flag to Thomas and Rick. Then Ridge corners himself in easily exposed lies about being at the restraurant by snarling at the already suspicious Rick and trying to intimidate the curious/concerned Katie.
Threatening Dr.Sperm only made him bolder, though he never lived to make good on his blackmail. Now Ridge is warning Katie off of the subject of Dr.Sperm by menacing her ... Ridge's threats only work in the short-term while the curiosity grows and digging for answers hits paydirt and more defensive behavior.
Ridge could have handled Who's the Daddy? with more finesse, and had more subtle and believable lies (for instance: Before his vasectomy, he made a series of sperm deposits to use as he saw fit, like having a child in his May-December marriage to Caroline), but not Ridge ...
Ridge has to yack with Brooke (Not Caroline?) about his vasectomy, then make up a barely believable lie to cover for Caroline's sudden pregnancy. Ridge can't handle a simple employee transfer, and doesn't create an involved project for Thomas to occupy a significant amount of time when Ridge banishes him to Paris. He makes Caroline responsible for remembering too many of his convoluted lies on her pregnancy, and she's not convincing when reciting them. When Thomas returns from his pointless trip to Paris, Ridge leaves Caroline stuck working with her rapist and having to put up with his interest in her pregnancy and marriage to his father. When confronted or caught up in a lie, Ridge choses to throw his weight around; and by his threatening, defensive behavior alerts everyone that the subject is sensitive and worth further probing. Caroline is in her own private Hell; Cup over-flowing with guilt and love for Doug, Ridge won't discuss Who's the Daddy?, like testing Doug to find out who is Doug's daddy. In the mean time she has Thomas hovering, vying for her good will, if not to redirect what reticence she still harbors against him moot. Thomas is still in lust with Caroline, and still thinks Rape Night was their Cha Cha Cha DESTINY! The One Blah Blah Blah ... And Caroline is painfully aware of what is behind his fascination, and is frustrated by Ridge's commands ... My castle. My rules.
It's as if they're trying to get caught and are incompetent at even that.

No one could possibly bark worse than GR on the line. If it's okay for him, I presume that's what he wants in his winner, so I don't think Ariel's barking will be a detriment to her. I actually liked how she kept on Christina, and Christina responded perfectly. Even if she outranks Ariel every other minute of the day, for that moment, Ariel was in charge and Christina acted accordingly.
So many of the contestants in recent seasons have been so trashy, but this final three, and more specifically, this final two, are the right ones. I'm pulling for Ariel a smidge more than Kristin, but I agree with Major Bigtime's post above, that Kristin's got an edge in the fierceness department. All in all, I'd be okay with either one winning.

Heather Tom recently gave an interview where she was asked about a possible romance with her doctor, and she said that as far as she knows it was a one day thing and she doesn't know if he'll be back.
Regarding
the return of Dr. Wolin
, I hope it's not to retcon
the viability of Ridge's sperm.

Katie perhaps deciding (if fueled by the booze) to try to vamp it up a bit in order to keep her man? That actually would have been a nice stop on her way down fully into the bottle.
Had it gone that way, it still could have ended with the same result, Katie driving Bill into Brooke's arms, not because of some pathetic self-fulfilling prophecy the way (I presume) it's going now, but because Bill can't handle seeing his sweet little Katie become bigger and badder than he is. This way is gross--poor sobbing wife feeling sorry for herself and her sad life, blaming anything that hasn't even happened yet on the other woman, while completely absolving the man in question of any responsibility. I absolutely despise the notion that if anything happens between Brooke and Bill, it will all be her fault, and I say this as not even particularly a fan of Brooke.

Why did Katie call Brooke over to the house? To be judgmental and condescending? To have a tirade? To warn Brooke off? To give Brooke more ammunition?
I don't understand why two people so concerned about Katie's well-being, left her in full crisis. She was hysterical, inebriated, and undone by anxiety, so $Bill and Brooke leave her to her own devices?
Being judgmental and condescending is what Katie does best. Whoever it was who said her tirade was 80% truth swallowed up by 20% psycho had it exactly right. If I were Brooke, I'd have walked out the minute Katie started throwing accusations around, whether they were true or not. There's nothing to be gained by rehashing the same thing over and over again, especially with someone who's drunk and who's baiting you to begin with. Bill, on the other hand, had no business walking out on her, although kudos to him for at least taking Will with him. What they really need to do is get someone over there to sit with her, a neutral third party who only has Katie's best interests at heart. Where's Donna when you need her?
I'd like to say that some of the acting is carrying this for me, but unfortunately the whole story's ruined because of the ridiculousness of Katie becoming an alcoholic overnight and her constant and grating, "feel sorry for meeeeeeee!!!!" tirades. Better and more fun would have been to see her go into full-on bitch mode and stop at nothing to keep her husband's interest, if that's what she's afraid of losing. Leather, studs, and stilettos, for example, or becoming a beast in the boardroom. Another round of whiny sad Katie? No thanks.

Caroline...I was expecting her to come back and get someone to turn. That said, her performance tonight was still pretty uneven and young sounding.
I've only seen the first half of the show so far, but regarding this, I thought she sounded good, not great. Still, I'm glad she made it onto a team this year. That said, Blake really needs to stop telling these middle of the pack girls that they can win the whole show if they go with him. No, Blake, no they can't. Also, it really bugs me when Christina has to upstage a mediocre audition with her rendition of the song they just flopped on. She's amazing, no question, but there's a time and place for everything, and it makes me stabby to see someone else's moment, even if it sucked, turn into the Christina Show.

Ridge and Rick are both stupid and immature. Neither of them deserves that house. It's Eric's, and if he had a spine at all, which he doesn't, he'd tell both of them to grow up and find their own places. What really bugs me about the whole thing is not the house or portrait-gate though, it's the complete lack of continuity in the story. I thought this whole thing started because of a weekend event for FC's oldest clients, and that there would be a breakfast the next day. What happened to that? All of a sudden the next day we're supposed to forget about the rest of the party and believe that Ridge and 15-month pregnant Caroline went home and spent all night packing everything they owned in huge boxes and had them hauled over to the mansion?
And while we're at it, how much do you want to bet that something will go wrong with the midwife, Ridge won't be around, and Caroline's home birth will end up being attended to by Thomas? There's a stroke of subtlety.

Read elsewhere that on B&B Detective Hardon is going to be Doctor Hardon. All I'm hoping is that he's not going to turn out to be a d-bag user like Ridge or a tool like Bill whose tool always points toward Brooke. Fingers crossed that the doctor will actually be a good man.
Then he'll likely be the doctor Katie called yesterday because she had a few things to talk about at his earliest appointment.

The real problem is that Eric is too much of a damn pansy to stand up to either of his sons. Ridge may be right, Stephanie's portrait does belong on the wall, but Eric gave his blessing to Rick hanging Maya's portrait there months ago. Now that Ridge is making an issue of it, and handling it just as immaturely as Rick did in the beginning, Eric is very weakly defending his decision to let it hang, while at the same time giving Ridge his blessing to replace it with Stephanie's portrait. He's playing both sides so that no matter who comes out on top, he can say he sided with them.
I assume the whole thing is really just a catalyst to start up a Ridge vs. Rick story again, same as Brooke's sudden undying love for Bill is really just a plot trick to get the Katie/Brooke rivalry going again, but pfft. Yawn. I just want the whole lot of them to grow up.

I really can't consider Katie an alcoholic as well as Brooke. Alcoholics have an addiction and I don't think Katie nor Brooke reached that level because Katie has only been knocking them back for just a few weeks and Brooke drank for less than a month.
I don't think it's even been that long. Brooke waited maybe a day or two at most between her initial confrontation with Katie at SP and inviting them to dinner, and now we're only on the next day after that. Katie's been an "alcoholic" for three, four days, tops. Which, by the way, should a woman with her heart condition be drinking at all? I also can't understand why, if she is so set on staking claim to her man, is she sitting downstairs alone, drinking instead of being upstairs with him and Will?
What really bothers me about this story though is what someone else mentioned upthread, that Katie vowing not to "let" anything ruin her marriage pretty much takes any responsibility for anything that may happen in the future away from Bill. If she's so worried Brooke can steal her man away, she needs to be looking first and foremost at her husband and deciding if a man she considers to be that weak is really the man she needs. Whether it's Brooke or someone else, she's always going to be worrying about someone coming along and Bill being too weak to say no.
After watching yesterday's show, I no longer remember why I was looking forward to Ridge coming back. I don't care about Caroline birthing that basketball, and while Ridge is right that Stephanie's portrait should be hanging in the mansion, and no, Rick didn't ask anybody's permission before he took it down and hung Maya's there, and Eric is a dolt for defending Rick's actions to Ridge and Ridge's actions to Rick when they're both acting like 6 year olds, but frankly, it's just all too childish to care about.

S03.E05: Week 3, Night 2
in Bachelor In Paradise
She didn't lug him around. The hosts had him on via Skype. I'm not sure whether Ashley even knew he'd be on.
