    There was a guy who got a rose last night whose name, I think, was Matt.  I swear, I don't remember him.  Has he ever said anything?

    All I know is he was the one in the penguin costume.

    While it may be true that he didn't know that, it's pretty basic racism 101 shit and I am of the mind that it is the responsibility of white people (self included) to educate themselves on those kinds of biases early and often. (Unless Rachel said off camera that she considers herself "from the hood" and that it's a point of pride and even THEN I wouldn't go there...).

    Intent really doesn't matter when the consequences of racism are so real and so high stakes, in my opinion.

    Is there maybe a website or something that white people can go to? LOL! I think people should just lighten up on the whole that's racist bs and just talk to each other. It's amazing what you learn when you're not listening to something to be offended about. Rachel didn't seem offended one bit. She has a really great sense of humor and a great sense of herself.

    Why on earth did she keep Lee? Is that Production shenanigans?

    Almost certainly.

    Shut up Lee, you're not even an entertaining villain.

    Chad was a much better villain. Even Nick when he was the villain. Lee is just obnoxious and ugly.

    Well, she said "mischeevious" a couple weeks ago, so she should have kept him because they'd make a great match. 

    I missed it. What's wrong with the way she said it?

    ETA: Oh never mind I see. It's just that in the south that's how we all say it anyway. I suppose it's technically incorrect but it sounds more like what it means when you pull out the ee and add the "i". Sort of like adding in devious. It should be a word.

    Who didn't know Lee from Tennessee "country boy" wouldn't have THE problem. For him he may not realize it's a problem.

    It's lazy and pandering to stick a "southern boy" on there to be a racist. Can't they be any more original and enlightened than that? Just perpetuating the ignorant myth of all Southerners being racist red necks. But what am I thinking? This is the  bachelorette - nothing original or enlightened here. Just sad they have to Mar the first AA lead with this crap.

  5. The DeMario thing felt like a total setup by producers. I feel like they planned the whole thing from the beginning. They found some "great" guy with a crazy girlfriend who would be willing to come on and raise hell and cause drama and reeled him in with promises of "we'll take care of everything, your ex won't be a problem." He really was blindsided. And Rachel WAS played for a fool but not so much by DeMario as by the producers.

    Will they please STOP doing the stupid To be Continued crap? NObody likes that. NObody wants that. Why do the PTB want to anger their audience every week? I hate that.

    Demario could have been a contender, but he lost me the moment he said “Her and I.” I can’t deal with an entire season of hearing that come out of the contestants’ mouths.

    I would LOVE it if there were a teacher on the sidelines with a ruler who would come out and smack anyone who uses bad grammar.
