I’m sure Ashley I is considered a legend in Bachelor Nation and has a devoted legion of fans but I’m not one of them and any pearls of wisdom she may have to share with the good intention of defending her protégée are not only lost on me but cement my contrary opinions on the matter.
Truly. I hope Ashley has lost her recruiting privs.
Find us someone Sharleen likes and we can talk.

I posted the article in the media link….Sydney was encouraged to apply by Ashley I.
I feel like I must have made Ashley I. angry somehow. I can't imagine what I did to deserve Sydney.
But at least she made me forget that I hated Jess for awhile.

I didn't actually watch last night but I'm catching up now.
I'm warming up to Kelsey A. She has ears that stick straight out, but doesn't care and pulls her hair back like a boss.
Sydney is working for that Idiot Edit. I'm not sure experience with the Miss Teen Massachusetts pageant would translate to this format, though I do wish someone had asked her about Hamas or something.

Sydney just secured a spot in Paradise for herself and Maria. All I can think of is poor @phlebas—his girl Maria is the one getting bullied at this point.
I look forward to the two of them fighting over the same Night 1 d-bag from Charity's season!

And yet again the First Impression Rose is the Rose of Doom. Can't even remember the last time a contestant who received the first impression rose got a 1-on-1 date.
It's not all that uncommon really. Zach didn't take Greer and Matt didn't take Abigail, but Clayton, Peter, Colton, and Arie all took their first impressions.
They never WIN, but they often go :) (Well... Becca sorta won...)-

I feel like we’re observing two different people. Maria doesn’t seem intimidated to me. She had her legs strewn over Joey in the first minute of talking to him. IMO, she seems to have an outsized sense of self-worth. (Yeah, I’ll say it. I think she’s kind of odd and unfortunate looking, but she acts like she thinks she’s super hot.) And I don’t think it’s a “sense of humor”—this is just how she acts. But she seems to be around a while from the previews, so I’ll concede that there must be something about her you and Joey see that I don’t.
Oh, truly. But that's how I roll I guess :) Maria reminds me of some truly awesome ladies I've known. She doesn't look like the standard contestant to me either, but I'm helpless against strong eyebrows and quirky smiles.
But how boring would it be if we all agreed on these contestants? :) I'm still baffled by the Hannah Brown love....

Maria from Canada is giving looney vibes; I predict she’ll be the loose cannon in the house.
Maria's my girl :) She seems a little intimidated by being in the middle of all those other women, and I don't think she'll win, but Joey seems to respond to her sense of humor.
But I think he's already mooning over Kelsey and her voodoo doll and Daisy.
Jess can go any time.

Are there any laws about moving to Canada from the US or vice versa? If so it just seems like it would make choosing a Canadian that much more difficult logistically. I think maybe Serena (Grocery Joe) is from Canada and that seems to be working out fine so maybe it's a non-issue?
I had a coworker move from Georgia to Alberta once, to be with her boyfriend. She told me then (roughly 2006) the law was you could either marry a Canadian -- which she was not yet ready to do, and good thing because they broke up six months later -- or find an employer willing to sponsor. Which sounds similar to the laws for immigrating the U.S.
I don't know who Serena's employer is, but they got married anyway so she should be GTG.-

Daisy seemed like a front-runner. But I didn't notice her in the season previews (might not have watched close enough). Either the editors are misdirecting us, or she's an early out.
I think she's in for awhile. She got sort of a sweetheart edit and her own music during her intro.
I also think Kelsey will stick around -- she not only got a similar package, but her theme music was a variation of New Orleans staple "When the Saints Come Marching In".
Both of them seem nice, so I'm good with it. I could see either of them as both a winner or the next Bachelorette.
Despite my personal love for Maria, I don't think she'll win or be the next Bachelorette. We can only hope she decides to leave Ontario for Vermont and buys the house around the corner from me. (Randy Quaid already bought the one across the street -- Maria would make this neighborhood awesome.)
1 hour ago, LakeGal said:Interesting that Daniel was able to wear the Canadian flag on his speedo on BIP. There was no blurring that.
I'm not an expert at any kind of law, including weirdo Canadian copyright law, but I'm assuming Joey's got blurred because it was an actual flag, albeit a tiny one. I expect that's legally different from a red maple leaf on a speedo, or an animated one on South Park. But I'm guessing.
I wish they hadn't blurred Joey's flag -- watching Canada sue Disney for a copyright violation would be entertaining.

I go back and forth on her. She looks sort of mean and too intense, but that might just be those very expressive eyebrows.
I have been helpless against women with strong eyebrows ever since Jennifer Connelly became an adult.

I might be in the minority but I'm in love with Maria, even if she's too quick to pass out flags with copyright violations.

I was about fifteen girls in before I remembered Joey was a tennis instructor. Before that, some of those opening gags were baffling.

Congrats to Clare for spawning. She's always wanted to.

Zach and Kaity moved in to new home.
https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/bachelors-zach-shallcross-and-kaity-biggar-move-into-new-home/Good for them. Zach was a little dull, but I liked Kaity. Hope they're both happy for a long time.

Hmmm. They were talking about babies like 6 weeks ago. Smokescreen, I guess.
And he has all that podcast money. -
Great season 🙄

These episodes have been fun, but none of these guys are all-stars. They are all more or less the same level of mediocre. Maybe that's the key -- if a Natalie Anderson was on this season, they would be carving a statue of her by now, content that they each have a final two pact with her.
Maybe not having any game studs is making this fun?-

This is my favorite blurb from any of the stories listing Joey's women:
"Lexi, 30, is a retail professional, according to her (now deleted) LinkedIn profile. She's worked at big brands like Krispy Kreme, and her friends seem very excited for her to take on this season, based on their comments on ABC's Facebook."
I have been wanting to meet a retail professional from Krispy Kreme for a long time, but we don't have them here :(
AT least her FB friends have given her a lot of thumbs up!

Eliza needs to make her own decision.
She does, but this isn't a skill she's demonstrated much since we met her.

Um, nothing to add for a summary because apparently no one watched it.
I had some important dishwasher loading to do and missed it :)
Was there a rose ceremony? The wiki is a little vague.-

it just sucks we'll have to wait so long for Season 3
It does, but SNW does have an advantage -- Season 3 was already written before the strike, and I believe they were planning to start filming right when the writer's strike began.
Of course the actors are on strike too, though it sounds like things might be getting close to a deal. We'll see, I guess.
Anyway, once the strike ends, SNW will be in pretty good shape to get back to work, at least compared to a lot of other scripted shows.
For now... get used to reality TV. Can't wait to find out who the Golden Bachelor is gonna pick! (*sigh*)-

Interesting. The guy who was ready to marry her on the beach after 10 minutes and would have given her a kidney if he thought she'd like it was screwing around.
This is why you treat the over-the-top types with skepticism and maybe restraining orders.

I have felt compelled to come out of my almost always lurking status to comment that I don't know what producer thought it was a good idea to apparently have Olivia as this season's narrator but I find her to be annoying, smug, and completely devoid of any charm. Go away, you Night One slug.
How much more fun would this season be if Olivia had been replaced by Christina Mandrell?

S28.E3 Week 3
in The Bachelor
Maybe Jenn can use her new-found surfing skills to paddle out and rescue her!
