Recyclorette

Yeah, this conversation had me wondering about Rick's mental health, too. For all his quirks, my gut's telling me he's a decent guy. I really hope he's in a good place and that a possible rejection doesn't do some real harm.

I'm confused. LT is Clint Eastwood's grandson. I don't remember much about him--why was he hideous? Is he being confused with Peter?

I finally got to watch this episode last night and can't get over how adorable Rodney is! After reading all the comments here about how rehearsed and scripted so many of these guys are, it makes me wonder how many women would jump at the chance if Rodney were the next Bachelor. Not a typical pick for sure, but I bet the response would be surprising! Rodney sure seems a lot more charming and fun than what's-his-name that they picked. Michelle is amazing and deserves a Rodney in her life!

I can't say that I understand this, but I'm not a black woman in Minnesota. However, I am very impressed with Michelle's maturity and disposition thus far and will give her the benefit of the doubt. I appreciate that she explained the bar situation calmly and without bitterness, especially since she had no idea that the guys were blindsided, too. It's perfectly understandable that she would be upset after the way Jamie presented the situation to her. Things were going so well, the only problem is Jamie's, and it's so early in her season for this kind of drama.

I do, too! He is adorable and charming--that smile! I hope he is the genuine guy he seems to be and that he has a real shot with Michelle. It would be so refreshing to see a real, sweet guy featured for a change.

Oh no!!! Blake and Katie just mutually announced their breakup! Blake must already be in love with Michelle!

The Kardashians? Is that where that started? I wouldn't have a clue because I can't watch any of them, in any form, ever! And Tom Cruise jumping on the couch--brilliant!!! 😂

I agree. There was something about many of these guys that creeped me out. I think someone mentioned that head-on-a-plate Rick reminded them of Conner--yes, the return of the vocal fry! On the other hand, Nayte and Michelle make a stunning couple! If I continue watching this season, (if Blake doesn't return yet again), I'll definitely be fast forwarding through the group dates. I just can't sit through the boring foolery anymore.

Well, if the commercial included blondes, I guess it wasn't Tia's dancing vagina.

This was such a good Bro Show! James and Aaron forever! (Aaron actually exudes some charm around James.) And the last exchange between Gro Joe and Ed was like watching Sonny and Fredo Corleone in the Godfather. Minus the Kendall cameo and repeats of the titty tacos and whippy toes, this was a good episode. The wrap up and updates at the end were epic!

Jesse Palmer has been chosen as the new Chris Harrison? He was a total snooze fest on his Bachelor season and on that silly Proposal show. I hope he's found some personality since then!

Good question! Snakes seem to be taking over TV. I have a snake phobia and would have immediately puked on the spot and had a panic attack. Very romantic! What's up with the awful dates? They're either violent or gross. The roller skating one was cute, so clearly they can come up with better ideas!

Just took a look at the newly released photos of Michelle's men. Check out Joe from Minneapolis--WOW! (Or should I say YUM!) 🤭

Ed looks like an extra in a mafia movie. My impression of him is all beef, no brain. I'll never understand why this bloated look is considered hot. These guys remind me of cartoon characters (didn't someone mention Popeye?) and those inflatable dinosaur Halloween costumes.

Thanks!!! You helped me lose 10 lbs. laughing at this! OMG--the giant stars! 🤣🤣🤣

Or whipped cream. Do what you want, but don't make me watch! 🤢

I like how she's supportive of the other women, but it's coming off in a weird way. She seems like their mom, and suddenly too old to be there.

I think Brendan and Pieper should be made to leave. I remember one Bachelor contestant made to leave because she allegedly got involved with a producer. This is much worse, IMO.

I think Natasha would be a heck of a lot more interesting as Bachelorette than Becca ever was.

I've loved Natasha since she was on Peter's season. She's not only beautiful, she's spunky and funny and wasn't shy about calling out Peter's juvenile behavior. I also think she's smart. She picked up on Brendan's weird behavior right away, but he was just convincing enough to appease her. And if she saw him with Tayshia, he came across as a slow mover, so there's that too. Brendan was cruelly insulting to her and, if some of those guys have a brain, one of them will scoop her up over the classless ditzes and drama queens.

Yes, a collective gathering of cracked china pots and just plain crackpots!

Good to know! Tia's accent is so thick, I couldn't even make out what was she calling those privates of hers, so I couldn't look it up!

Thanks for explaining this--I couldn't understand or figure out what the heck she was talking about! 😂

Didn't Tia have black hair when she was on the Bachelor, too? Someone refresh my memory! They are twins in my mind!
