Here Here and Thank You! I rarely comment on my reality show viewing but I just watched Andy grill Juan Pablo just before she left. Say What? Juan Pablo was patient, he listened, he did not get defensive, he said he respected her opinion and that he did not want her to feel bad. She was complaining that he did not take enough interest in her in the manner she needed and wanted. OK, fine ... that is what you want ... fair enough, now you know that is not his style so leave and find what you are looking for. But instead she criticized and judged him for being perhaps a simpler person who does not dig as deep as her. I felt like she berated him out of her own anger and frustration about not finding what she needed. That was NOT his fault. Andy did not take responsibility for her predicament and instead took out her frustration on someone who did not deserve it. Later in her interview with Chris, Andy said JP should not have "it's OK". He meant it is OK if you need to do what you need to do and don't feel bad about it! Then he said, "Am I going to die over it, no ... but I will feel SAD about it" What more do you want? Andy seemed to say she regretted dumping on JP like that ... glad she finally realized she needed to take responsibility for her being there and investing her time and realizing he wasn't the right guy. JP is an easy going guy who clearly isn't into going to deep. Live and let live Andy. He seemed sincere and his heart was involved. I am still watching so I have not seen the end yet, but so far I think he has been a nice guy to all of these women. [edit] OK, just watched the remainder ... Caitlin and Trista bashing JP, helicopter and night before ring ceremony, etc. Perhaps in the helicopter he was trying to say off camera that although they had great chemistry he felt they did not know each other well enough for an engagement, to prep her for the let down. In those early seasons very few broke the shows protocol and told the people in advance they were not going to be picked. Ben H told both that he loved them, and that was true. Clare and all the others have seen the show. They know it is set up so that the viewers get to watch some poor soul get completely emotionally blindsided, Thus it astonishes me that everyone is berating JP just because he said what so many others have said, I do not choose you. This is crowd bullying at its worst. Sorry Chris Harrison, (love you as a host), and everyone else, but you have got it wrong this time for going along with demonizing Juan Pablo.

THE BACHELORETTE SHOULD NOT BE AN EPISODE OF JERRY SPRINGER This episode shows why I would not let my daughter go on this show! It was an entertaining episdoe with lots of natural romance blooming and then the producers SOILED it by letting that lady come on show and putting Rachael in a terrible position. That is Garbage Drama as in TRASH, and most of us really don't want it. It is like eating junk food ... it makes you fill sick afterwords. This was not Rachael's issue to deal with. If the producers made a mistake letting D. on the show, they should have taken him off and not asked Rachael to do the dirty work. Also you really have no right to expose that man's dirty laundry on national TV. I love Rachael and I enjoy good natural romantic drama. But I hate these stunts that the producers pull. It degrades the quality of the true entertainment which is people falling in love. STOP STOP STOP with the trashy drama. As Rachael says, Keep It Real!

I am a huge fan and that is why I am writing this. Cirie is a wonderful and powerful player. Jeff still uses the term when Cerie was "voted out". So who voted her off of game changers? No one did! ... and yet she was out of the game. Here is my point ... the show needs to be careful with the non-human advantages because they introduce luck into the game and thus may dilute the influence of the actual skills of the game players. Let's say the show had decided to limit these advantages to the simple Immunity Idol and not water down the voting further with more advantages. That would have returned more of Cirie's skills and relationships back into the tribal council vote and Cirie would not have lost that night. I would much rather watch the talents of the players determine the outcome and not a lucky advantage. With these new advantages, a non skilled player can have an unwarranted and undeserved influence on tribal council votes that their own skills and talent would never have afforded them. Thus we all lost out on getting to watch Cirie playing longer which I think she deserved, and I would have preferred to view instead of the results of a less interesting overload of simple advantages. There was another Game Changer this season ... and it was the overuse of advantages in the game. It changed the game so much that a great player like Cirie was thrown off the season on a night she did not receive one vote against her by the actual people playing the game. It reminds me of when they bring on goofy or strange non contenders on the Bachelorette to create more drama. I always want to say to the producers, Stop ... please don't water down the excellent, pure, and natural drama of people falling in love and deciding between lovers. There is plenty of good drama there. No cheap easy drama needed. No cheap easy gameplay tweaks needed ... let the players pure skills determine the outcome. Finally, can we please make it a 2 hour show so we can see more of what goes on in the camp dynamics? Looking forward to next season!
