He sure won ME over! I think I'm falling for him, and I'm an old married person.

I keep trying to figure out the timeline of Ben's history. Was the weight thing WAAAY before West Point, since the military is strict about weight. So, is West Point 4 years, and how long was he on active duty after that? And how long has he been out of the military? Plus his other issues took a year or two - it just seems like a heck of a lot is stuff crammed into not enough adult years. For those who think sex and religion don't mix - BWAHAHAHA! Not everyone is a member of a Rootin' Rootin' Holy Roller extreme denomination. Plenty of mainstream Christians have healthy, guilt-free personal lives.

She seems to not do her crying, or even reacting, in front of the guys. She waits till they're gone or excuses herself and leaves the room.

Looks like Tayshia and Ivan just outed the sloppy slice & dice editing that didn't show the previous religion discussion. I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.

"What I am thinking tonight is how, the more I watch this show, the more the sleeping with multiple people in the FS is really problematic--especially for the Bachelorette franchise." Hello, 1950! 🙄

Even if not, I think she was very fond of him.

Dammit, show, after all these seasons, I actually teared up a bit with that good-bye.

I don't think the B'ette chooses those dates. It's all producer picks.

That was the biggest deer in the headlights expression on Brendan's face. And it says something, maybe, that I'd forgotten his name, so I think he has slid since the beginning of the season.

I think she may have been referring to previous conversations as much as this one.

I wanna hug Ivan's mom. She's so sweet.

Shut up, Bennett. Just STFU. I kind of have to agree with Noah.

Because the show doesn't let her keep them all?

I think that even with the guys she's not into romantically, she's grown fond of them in a good friend way. You can tell the difference with the ones she's sent home previously and this bunch.

Wasn't that DeAngelo, not Gary?

Oh, I loved that she did it. They acted like children so that's how she treated them.

Just quoting what YOU said.

So people with mental health issues are all "psycho killers"?

He insinuated that he had a not-so Bennett-y upbringing, so he may have been ready to unload a dirt poor hillbilly background. Maybe his real name is Bubba Joe Hatfield McCoy. Hey, did we just see our first Mesnick of the season?

Whoa, she just used the L word!

Oh, it was over twenty years ago. Once I had surgery, I woke up in the recovery room and said "I don't hurt anymore!" and burst into tears of joy.

I had back problems several years ago that made me suicidal. Pain can do that, where you'd rather erase yourself than live in agony.

Damn, this season has deeper conversations than all the previous seasons put together.

Buh-bye, you pretentious shit.
