    S27.E10: Week 9

    in The Bachelor

    Kaity is starting to make me think she doesn't like being talked to like a child.

    Think they're gonna do it?

    Blow off the dinner date and go eat bugs with Ariel

    S27.E09: The Women Tell All

    Does anyone remember any instance where Charity listened to anyone else's concerns (and sob stories) and helped them through their "feelings"?

    She did help talk Greer down after the tears when Gabi got the princess date and evilly drank all Greer's tea. Doing it while leaning on Gabi's door wasn't the greatest idea, but that might have been production.

    I have no doubts that Charity is sweet and kind and just a great person all around. But the show failed to make her case for us. All we saw were tears and stupid drama with Christina Mandrell or Kat.

    Worse, they missed an opportunity with Ariel.  I get diversity picks, and I would be fine if this show never had another bland anglo-saxon lead ever again.  But there are other types of diversity.  Ariel is not only Jewish, but she's outspoken about it, which has never been allowed previously (ask Andi Dorfman).  When ABC filmed Jason Mesnick's wedding, they asked him not to break the glass. They wouldn't be able to get away with that with Ariel.

    And she's also a first generation Ukrainian immigrant. Given current events, that seems not only timely, but serendipitous.

    Ariel was a gift and they dropped her. (Unless they DID ask her and Ariel said no. Regardless of what happens with the fantasy suites, I can imagine her being over this show.)

    I read that Charity's filming begins this week?  If so, why the rushed timeline?

    The Bachelor Season 27: Spoilers and Speculation

    I'm curious about what other folks think of his analysis and conclusions...

    I saw that yesterday!  Bachelor Fantake is normally really good, and he has a point about Zach looking so chipper at WTA and the general tendency of this show to lie outright in the previews  (Although he did pick Gabi to win over Kaity...)

    It does appear that Zach effed up somewhere during Fantasy Suites.  Hardly a stop-the-presses moment. And if he did, I can totally see him blaming it on the women who are getting upset. And given Jesse's glee at mentioning "Sex Week," it appears his vow of chastity doesn't last long. 

    I hope he actually does it with Kaity and not Ariel -- it seems clear Ariel is going home next, and the optics are pretty bad if you boink 'em and bounce 'em. Ask Clayton :)

    I think it's most likely Gabi his hurt that he had sex with one of the others but turned her down. And I doubt Ariel is all that upset with going home at #3 -- she must sense that she and Zach don't work as much as we do.  God knows what Kaity's crying about -- maybe Zach is bad at sex?

    That could be.  But I could see an alternate scenario:  he sleeps with Kaity and then tells the other two.  Kaity is upset because it should have been a private moment between the two of them instead of him blabbing about it to the others, Ariel is upset because she thought that they had a really "special" night and then she learns that Zach slept with Kaity which ruins her night, and Gabi is upset because Zach finally confesses that he doesn't like maple syrup.  

    What I think is going to be rough -- worse than mustard on pancakes -- is:

    I assume Gabi's date is first. He tells her NO SEX, and they spend the night mainlining maple or whatever.  Then Zach sleeps with either Kaity or Ariel.  THEN Gabi finds out about it, and spirals because she feels ugly and undesirable.  I believe that's the point we see in the previews with her having a moment on the beach.

    THAT would feel awful.  "He was able to become a monk with me, but couldn't whip Little Zach out for Ariel/Kaity fast enough?"  In her shoes, I would be gone so fast I left scorch marks on the sand.

     

    ETA: Now that I think about it, this might explain why Ariel isn't the Bachelorette.  If she and Zach actually have sex -- in fact, she's the ONLY one he has sex with -- then he sends her home, that says "thanks, Ariel, I got what I wanted, have a safe trip." I can easily imagine her being done with the franchise.

    So what is the "speculation" (copyright this thread title) for the preview effort to make us think that the Z-Man sleeps with Ariel and then tells that to Gabi and Kaity.  I mean does anyone really think that he is going to sleep with her and then send her home?  (don't say anything Phlebus).

    :)

    Nothing surprises me any more on this show. The preview certainly LOOKS like that, but trusting the preview is a fool's errand.
