It could be an excuse to get out of it. They should make him wear duct tape over the tattoos.

It's lovely to see "the boys" scrambling a bit. Honestly, they should forget about Caleb. He's a cypher. Frankie is the one who needs to go. Who is Nicole talking about when she says someone is throwing competitions? Hopefully, Nicole doesn't confide in Christine because Christine will just blab.

If he were a plant, occasionally we would see a flicker of intelligence, wouldn't we?

"Caleb, stop talking," is the best quote of the season.

Caleb is monotonous as a clothes dryer. Love Amber Hate Amber Love Amber Hate Amber Love Amber Hate Amber Over and over.

When Caleb tries to think, I get a headache. It's so painful to watch.

Andromeda, I said "shunned" because they are not getting their wedding televised. Probably it was too strong a word, but I went with it for brevity which didn't work because now I'm typing all this. Ha! Andi's acted the way she did throughout the show because she had a show to out on and because she is the producers' willing tool. We all know that. I guess she really was attracted to Nick or she wouldn't have slept with him. I hope she worked through that issue with Josh beforehand. Cause otherwise -- oopsie! I mean I figured she slept with Nick when she was on camera going to meet Josh for their date and she looked so refreshed and relaxed. She looked like she had a good time.

I wasn't impressed with how Andi handled either Chris or Nick. With Chris she boohooed so badly that Chris wound up comforting her. She acted like she was the one being hurt instead of him. She seemed to want to go into the same role with Nick, but he became a bit accusatory, so she got tough. Then at the AFTR, instead of saying, "I'm sorry. Maybe I did take it a little too far. I'm sorry that hurt you the way it did," she had to start making that he was the bad guy. My opinion is that she should have said, "I didn't choose you because it takes you five minutes to articulate a simple thought." God knows that would drive me crazy. I really don't think Nick is a stalker, but the show likes to play up that sort of thing with rejected suitors. But anyway, Andi's foibles are all Josh's to deal with now, and his are hers. Just hope that TPTB shun them the way they have Des and her guy who,IMO, are far more likable.

I doubt that Caleb will ever figure things out because he is so invested in his fantasy of Amber throwing herself into his arms when she is "saved." Even now, he is beaming because she is talking with him alone. He's so happy. Of course a lot can change between now and Thursday, but I don't think Caleb becoming smart is going to be one of them. Kudos to Amber for trying to keep her story private. It probably has hurt her game because her guarding it has caused people to think she is keeping game secrets instead of personal ones.

I was very sorry to hear of Caleb's death. My heart goes out to his family, his friends, and Colton. They will miss him dearly.

It's so difficult to tell what someone is really like from a TV show, but I enjoy Maks's public persona. And I enjoy his dancing. He makes me smile, I really can't speculate on what it would be like to know him in his daily life, and I don't want to speculate about it because it's fruitless. I read about Hope in today's news, and I think the story between them was more complicated and nuanced than we know.
