Now SHE'S the one who should have hooked up with John Paul Jones. Um, did Chad just say "crinched"? As in, "The whole room just crinched"? While he was talking about Bennett not being so bright?

I love it when a beautiful Bachelorette finds the plainer and quieter guys attractive. Unfortunately, it seldom happens with a Bachelor and his group of women.

And the poor dudes seem completely incapable of doing simple math. Of COURSE she'll have to eliminate all but one of them; I don't know why they're always so shocked.

The best Bachelorettes have been pretty flirty. It makes the guys feel good.

We can replace "Deer in the headlights" with "Dale in the baby convo" from now on. 😳😳😳😳😳

Nah, that's one of Clare's go-to moves. I think she read about Amy shaking her curls coquettishly in Little Women when she was 10, and started practicing in the mirror right away. It's SOOO fake.

Shut up, Harrison. Nobody gives a rat's ass.

Tayshia looked like a mermaid goddess in that gold gown.

Clare, no wonder men run from you, you big dummy! You're thisclose to coming off as a bunny boiler.

Why is she macking on my DOG???

Those two singers just HAPPENED to be available on the spur of the moment once Clare deCLAREd (heh heh) she was in love? Yeah, right.

They sound like two fourteen-year-olds. Blech.

She's making Hannah look like a paragon of maturity.

My mouth is a little off to one side. I guess I'd better tell my husband that he's a real schmuck for marrying someone with such a dreadful defect. And yeah, I'm a little self-conscious about how it looks in pictures. Are only absolutely perfect people allowed to seek love? Damn.

Clare does look a lot like Jan... and matches her emotional instability. And the way she treats men.

I hope most of the guys stick around for Tayshia (and I hope I spelled her name correctly). She struck me as fun and having a sense of humor, which this season desperately needs after Clare's weep-and-whine- athon.

We'll just call you Rosé.

How old was Brad? I thought he was one of the older ones, at least by his second attempt. Too bad he didn't come back to compete on this season. He and Clare would be gorgeous together.

I don't think I heard her say "like" as a sentence-stretcher once! And only one or two "ums" that I noticed. Hot damn!

I'm REALLY impressed with the way she's handling the guys. For someone who seems like an over-emotional dingbat so often, she's actually got some sense and very good manners.

Sorry about Gillette's cousin, but good lord, I hate NBC and their emphasis on sob stories. "You got a sick parent? No? Brother or sister? No? Grandparent? No? Aunt? Uncle? No? Aw, shit! Cousin? Awright!!! And he's dying, right? And has kids? AND he's a veteran? Sonnie, YOU will make it to the finals, dude!"

Yay, Jake! But I also like Ethan, so it was good either way. At least Daniel Gil didn't make the tower climb; there's something about him I cannot stand and I always hope he'll splat. Maybe it's that he refers to his "story" ugh, gag, and thinks he's so damn inspiring . Sorry, dude, you're just annoying.

Jessie Graff manages to be an amazing athlete and have fun at the same time. That was a beautiful dive.

So... Endeavor was right about the murders, but Fred was right about Endeavor having turned into a real dick. And then he still saved him. I watch for Roger Allam, and somewhat for Anton Lesser, although the show turned Bright into a marshmallow. It felt like "We made Bright too much of a turd at first, so let's give him a dying wife to show what a swell guy he really is." I preferred him prickly. The plot on this series was a bit much; maybe they'd planned for more episodes and the writers refused to give up any plot lines when faced with three episodes. "YOU get a murderer! And YOU get a murderer! And YOU get a murderer! Murderers for everyone!"
