Oh my my my my ... Kelsey. Full on whack job. Wowsers. This is like movie-character psycho. Who knew Ashley Onion wasn't actually the craziest? #GoneGirl

I never thought Canadian Jillian was homely; like Bugs Meany said, she just looked different. I'd say Dentist Ashley was the most unlikely Bach'ette, looks-wise -- she is the plainest one so far (and one of the successful ones! Go figure!) Back to this season: I got nuthin'.

It makes sense to me. Kim K probably thinks *she's* a Disney princess -- it's all about entitlement and luxury.

"Jade's and I's fairytale" is 100 percent, no going back, makes baby Jesus cry, unambiguously wrong. Deeply wrong. "Our fairytale" and "Jade's and my fairytale" are the only options.

So I missed the entire show except the last four minutes or so. As the camera was panning the crowd at the rose ceremony, I actually said out loud, "Who ARE these people?" The ones I'd recognize at this point are Amber (and now *she's* gone), the Ashleys, Whitney, Britt, Mackenzie, Megan and Kaitlyn ... and the rest, well, yeah, I got nothing. Have not A CLUE who they are. I thought Jimmy's limo ride of tears was funny.

Not to quibble, but Michelle Money was on Brad's season (Brad's second one) and not Jakes. And I can't believe I'm going to keep this going, but it was *Vienna* who snuck into Jake's room, and that was this big shift in the show, to have this brazen move. IIRC, Jake was sort of confused as to what he was supposed to do ... but as we all know, it ultimately "worked" for Vienna because she, ummm, "won." I guess.

Me neither. It hadn't even occurred to me that they've watched this since childhood until one of them said something along those lines, that she's watched this since high school or something. Made my 47-year old stomach churn. WHAT HAVE WE DONE TO OUR CHILDREN? (I say that hypothetically, being childfree myself.) Back to Kimberly the delusional yoga teacher: It's possible she was prodded by producers to keep hanging around. How sad, if that was the case, to be pushed into that, because it was pretty humiliating to be kicked to the curb two weeks in a row. OTOH, she may have decided to do it herself (and the producers figured, hey, interesting new twist, let's let her do it) ... Stay with me and all you yoginis, don't get pissed, I'm one of you (more or less; I can't do crow pose but I can rock a headstand): Yoga is all about self-actualization, and full of affirmation. "You can do it! You can be your best self! You have it in you!" etc etc. Very positive thinking all the time, which is basically a good thing, right? Until you decide that you CAN make the bachelor choose you -- "You have the power within you!" -- but, errrm, nah, he's not so much interested. Thx bye. Ooof. That. Right there. There ya go. What have we done?

No, I don't think he'll be the dumbest. Wouldn't that be Jesse the football player? (Related question: Who has been the smartest? Brad? Serious question.) Chris is no Mensa member but so far he's, ummm, OK under the circumstances. Little too quick to kiss but whatever. However many of the women who have received lots of air time at this point absolutely have rocks for brains. I'm hoping in the coming weeks they'll be culled out and slightly more intelligent women will stick around. * What am I saying: they've chosen to be on this vile show. How intelligent can they be? PS: Mackenzie not only named her child, born one year ago, KALE, she also revealed during the first conversation with Chris on the first night that she didn't know what alfalfa is. PSS: I agree that this is Britt's audition season. And one more thing: the ladies seem to be great buddies already. I haven't watched in a long time -- are they usually this chummy and sweet to each other?

Whose idea was it for the first group date participants to walk around LA in their bikinis? Ugh. There are 10,000 reasons why I'd never be on this show, but now I can add my probable very bad reaction to the paint ball-zombie date. I would've been so-not-gracious in that scenario. I haven't watched regularly in a while -- is it my bad memory or is this season full of especially stupid (alien-believing Mackenzie/makeup artist-helmet wearing Megan) women? (And I concur with those who've said WTF to leaving a ONE YEAR OLD for this stupid show?) AND, I haven't a clue if Ashley S is putting on an act or not, but the producers are beyond cruel. Mental illness shouldn't be a gag.

Meredith and Ian! Meredith and Ian! Must've been VERY HARD to edit that season, since Girlfriend was DONE once she found him. That was my most favorite ever season because they were *it* for each other -- no one else came close. I also think, once she recovered from the Bentley (was that his name?) debacle, the little dentist -- shit, what was her name? -- was set on JP and that was about it. The producers stretched hard to make it seem that Ben had a chance. Sorry, not spoiler related. Just re-living old B'chette memories.
