Andromeda

I knew it would be Doh-uhn when Charity got upset with her mom saying Charity glowed with Joey. I really don't like the main saying she's "in love" with multiple people. That never used to be a thing, and it diminishes the eventual "I love you." Charity even told Joey she was in love with him while breaking up with him!! Eh, no, hon. Don't do that. When they met on stage, Joey clarified that they still "loved" each other, which makes a lot more sense. Glad Joey is still free. He's a keeper, and I hope he finds someone.

I also couldn't grasp what Bergie had done to offend Victor. Made me dislike Victor, who by the time he left no longer resembled my sweetie Jason Momoa because he's so annoying.

I have to laugh at the Brayden stuff. The guys going after him as if there's no producer involvement is just ridiculous. They call him toxic and other names, but get incensed when he calls them jackasses? ROFL. Sean's comment about Brayden's scarf while he himself is sporting a (cashmere) scarf is a perfect example of the hypocrisy thick in that place tonight. I'll miss Braden's super greasy hair, dangly earrings, Superman-like square chin, and BIG DOUBTS, which clearly won't ever affect any of the remaining six. (Yeah, right!) I liked John, too bad he's toast. I'm sure it's ALL Brayden's fault, and production just couldn't find enough hours in the day for her to talk to all the guys. (Seriously, can't she demand that? Nah, blame it on Brayden! LOL.) I like most of the remaining guys, except shit-stirrer Aaron. I don't know if any of them are Bachelor material, though. Sean is very cute, sort of a super young Kurt Russel vibe there. I forgot who Tanner was, just looked like some random dude standing there, until she called his name, and then I sort of remembered I'd seen him before. WASHINGTON! Yay for the PNW showing! Looks like a fun place for a weekend (not too far from me in Oregon). I dunno if the show should have broken the fourth wall like they did when Brayden walked down the hall and into that huge ballroom set with the "cozy" couch, fireplace and big fat camera sitting in front of them while they kissed. Kind of ruined the fantasy there...

On Brayden's side here. If those men aren't asking themselves whether they'll be ready to propose (and stay engaged and marry and be a husband) to a woman they just met, and can't admit they're jealous when she spends time with the other guys, they're the dishonest ones. Aaron is clearly threatened by Brayden, as all of them should be, and he's showing it. Why is Charity so ready to trust Aaron, who obviously has an agenda? Seems pretty silly to me. Especially since she and Brayden already talked about this same stuff!

I'm a little concerned about her reliance on her mom. A guy would be considered a mama's boy if he was as dependent on mom as Kaity seems to be. It's good they aren't in the same town if her husband expects to be number 1 in her life.

Not done watching yet here on the West Coast. He's in the spa with Brooklyn, who is annoying, so taking a break. Kaity reveals she's from a broken home with a single mother, and Zach's reaction is SO over the top "Oh, no, that's terrible! I can't even imagine. How horrible for you!" Dude. Chill out. Tell her she turned out great, and accept it. Poor Greer. I hope the show gives her an express ticket for the next Bachelor show, or sticks her on the next BiP at least. Yay, Greer got the group date rose. LOL how that Mentalist got under their collective skin. Pretty amazing. I felt Kat spoke real when she said she revealed things she may not even have wanted to. It's like they tricked it out of her. Ick. Oooo, Budapest so pretty! Hope to visit someday.

Here's Nick Viall's reaction to the Jess dumping.

No kidding. When she ran after Kat to literally insert herself between Kat and Charity, I was WAY over her. She must know she's not getting to F4 (or to the end, in any case) and wanted to make a statement (stink) to get more TV time. Very yucky behavior. I wish Kat had told the room that Zach thought she was showing initiative. I would have loved to see their faces and what stunts they all started pulling as they collectively make up rules and have hissy fits about them. Looks like Estonia is angling for more western tourist dollars. It's definitely not top of mind for most in the U.S. planning a European vacation.

Can you refresh my memory? What happened? I'd like to know his real feelings on women who work. Does he expect them to quit when they start a family?

OMG yes!!! Like wouldn't any of the women there have wanted the queen date?? Some people are so self involved, they're blind and sound really stupid. I really loved Gabi, and Gabi with Whassisname. They fit well. But I see him lusting after the leggy blondes... I hold out little hope for any bachelor to find the One on this show, after watching since Day One, but he stands a better chance than most with his attitude. Still. He was kinda mean to Greer -- she was just trying to sympathize. I figured he was already done with her with that reaction to her comment. She just comes off as immature. And a bit flighty. And really, really insecure. Dear, if you're that nervous before your video talk, maybe he's not the guy for you. Really silly not to have Jesse hand out the roses by proxy. We're they that afraid the women would get confused and want to date him instead? It looked super lame to have them help themselves. People have been married by proxy, I'm sure they could get a rose that way. IT'S SNOG, NOT SNUG, YOU TWIT!

Zach is definitely hitting the right "nice-guy" notes. Too bad I keep obsessing over his big nostrils. I realize now it's because his nose is slightly upturned at the end, which really makes them seem HUGE to me. I agree that the Mandrell chick isn't going to get far after the daughter reveal. I had forgotten she was the "mean girl" that hurt Brianna's feelings, though I think she's making far too much of it. I didn't like how when Brianna said she didn't even realize her dress had roses that Christina refused to believe her. That's pretty familiar/rude for a first meet. Just ask "Really?" and let her explain. You can choose to believe or not later. Christina Mandrell gets a last name on her chyron -- it's a first for a first-time Bachelor contestant, I believe. Gabi is kind of funny. I think I like her, despite her stressing out so much. Partly it's because I can tell her apart from the others because she reminds me of Deb from Dexter. One blonde makes the weirdest expressions. I'm not sure which one it is -- her face doesn't settle down enough for me to figure it out! OMG, the fart talk. JUST DO IT. You're a human being, not a Stepford Girlfriend! How absolutely silly -- they actually run across the street to another house instead of farting in front of a boyfriend? Hey, if he's that turned off, he's not right for you . Or anyone. Does he fart in front of you? Just asking!

She's horrid. And totally lacking in self-awareness. She can't think of a single time she criticized Logan. Except for the time she criticized his ambition, his lack of income, his CAR, the way he treats her, the way he doesn't treat her, the way he does or doesn't talk about her with other people, the way he can't read her frikkin' mind... Logan needs to run, NOW.

Seems to me Gabby is engaged in self-sabotage. She's as unready for a long-term commitment as Jason is, but he's more self aware. Wish I knew what Rachel and Zach talked about. It's hinted at, perhaps whether she'll sleep with other men. Speaking of which.... I agree with the guys fretting about it. I still and always will think it's gross if they sleep with numerous men or women in fantasy suites before supposedly proposing.

Of course someone got COVID, they're on a cruise ship! I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but another reason for Logan leaving makes sense, because as pointed out above, everyone would have to be quarantined for 2 weeks and get tested regularly. If Logan has COVID, they're all supposed to be treated as if they do, too. I'm confused — did they say Logan was gone permanently? Was that spelled out? Gabby sure didn't look upset about it. I'm pleasantly surprised that Jesse is doing so well as host. I didn't expect it. Him speaking French was impressive, too. I also have been to Amstersdam, but it was December (brrrr.....). Still fun. I like the look of Bruges. I want to go there. So adorable! Tino is getting scary. I have a minor crush on Tyler. He's so cute! I just want to tweak his cheeks!! I agree about the BDSM scene. YUCK! What were they thinking? Quit trashing up the Bachelor/ette. I was happy when earlier in the season they didn't show the guys boxing each other, but I didn't need this, either.

I am, too. I mean, you will end with only one guy. ONE. Stop comparing yourself with Rachel, it's irrelevant!
