I don't understand why this show insists on spoiling itself. They do it constantly on the "coming up next" segments they show before commercials. I would have enjoyed Danielle and Wells kissing more if the show had let it happen organically, rather than telling us it was coming (although I still enjoyed it because I love me some Wells.) That's just one example of it - they do it constantly. Are they that convinced we won't stick around after the commercial break?

Jasmine and Alexis fighting can fill my TV screen anytime. Along with teasing Derek and Taylor from their spot in the hot tub. That was hilarious.

Which everybody at the wedding laughed about, instead of acknowledging that it was manipulative and a bit creepy.

@sleepyjean, I had the same thought. The long pauses between stilted dialogue convinced me they were being fed lines.

Someone needs to explain to Iggy that calling a woman "crazy" is not endearing. That conversation would be over so fast...

I already liked Ben Zorn but when he talked about his dog like it's his kid, I really loved him. I'm like that with my dog.

Since this is a board for speculation, I'll throw out my theory that Wells, in his role as the Paradise bartender, is being auditioned for The Bachelor... just a theory.

Thanks for that referral! That may have been the best half hour of my day.

Do tell...

I liked that Rachel gave props to Adam and Matt and explained that the audience wasn't given a chance to see her relationships with each of them. They deserved that recognition. I still wish I'd seen more of Matt, he really intrigues me.

Did I hear this correctly: Family Chantel thinks Pedro's mother has a three bedroom apartment instead of two because he is going to come home and live with them after Chantel's bank account is milked dry? Anyone else catch that?

I ate rabbit testicles in a restaurant in Italy. You honor the culture you are visiting and Eat. Their. Damn. Food.

John Taylor was in Power Station, as was Andy Taylor, I think.

@Catrice2, I too liked a little bad boy mixed with pretty in the 80s, so my secret crush of shame is *whispers* Duran Duran. All of them. Except Andy. Is that it?

I can't imagine someone hasn't toppled over by now. Some of those women really fling themselves at the bachelors. A great SNL parody would have the men wrapping themselves around the Bachelorette. Now that would make me laugh.

Now I'm irritated at the show for giving Matt and especially Adam such crappy edits. We've seen almost nothing of them throughout the season, and tonight made me want to know Adam better. TPTB didn't give me a chance to become invested in these two characters, which took some of the suspense out of tonight. I knew they were the ones going home because we didn't know them.

I am a Russ supporter, but wanted to slap him when, after a lull in conversation, he leaned across the table to Juan and said, "Pao tells me you don't approve of our relationship." SMH - he invited some of that mistreatment as he obviously already knew Juan was a bitch.

I love the music playing when Mohammed and Danielle's family first meet up in the parking lot - straight from a John Wayne western flick. I expected to hear the jingling of spurs. Danielle's constant smile drives me nuts - her sister does it, too, to a lesser degree. Did Danielle actually expect that to go well? Mohammed is really a piece of shit.

"Disingenuous" is the new "emotional intelligence".

Did her sentence get extended when she was taken to Chicago (I think) and had to appear in some courtroom? Or was that just for Alex's trial? My memory is that she got screwed by Alex in that episode and it affected her sentence. I could be wrong.

The lack from a time-stamp is disorienting to me, too, but it occurs to me that that's a way of helping the viewer identify with the prisoners. Without their daily schedule and meals, they've probably lost track of days, too.

Holy crap, I just googled the Stanford experiment and that is all sorts of screwed up. But fascinating. I now see it as more plausible that the inmates at Litchfield would act like animals.

So a second producer has filed a complaint about this event. And neither producer was present for it or has seen the footage? They must be pretty confident in their second-hand sources to be doing such shit-stirring. http://www.eonline.com/news/861056/second-bachelor-in-paradise-producer-files-complaint-about-alleged-misconduct

That makes sense. Thanks.

I was thrown off by Raven's assertion that Eric was Rachel's favorite. Where did that come from? TPTB haven't chosen to show us that.
