I believe you can fall in love instantly, but sort of doubt that 26 or whatever bachelors fell in love with Rachel instantly and she them. And I believe you can fall out of love just as fast, which maybe is happening with Peter after he sees how she interacts with everyone else (not that she should be doing anything differently). I imagine the falling out of love would happen to me about most of the remaining bachelors, although I would certainly like to be friends with several of them (not looking at you, Bryan).

There is a separate thread here about the podcast--you might get an answer if you post this request there.

I think in the real world most men who are not Bryan would have a lot of trouble going in for the deep French kisses Rachel seems to enjoy RIGHT AFTER another guy or two or three have been tongue-painting their saliva all her tonsils. I think there was a strategic reason Bryan made his "sloppy seconds" remark on Ellen--I could see Peter considering that every time she wants a kiss now. She does seem to be the aggressor when it comes to Peter now. I hate to say it but I'm sort of over her. Don't care who she picks, for sure.

OMG the great Amy Morton would own the show. The shared understated compassion she and Voight showed to Al in that single scene when Al's daughter was killed was just outstanding.

If Mouch perishes in Fire, Trudy could have some awesome storylines recovering from her grief.

I can't see a black Bachelor after watching this episode, where this show and its star makes it seem that even a black Bachelorette wants a white guy, so why bother. I'm sure she'll get superclose in the next episode to Adam and Matt, whoever he is. Being sarcastic, but she kept Lee well past his expiration date when she had less than zero interest in him. We who read this forum might think it was producer driven, but people like Mr MML now think she is an absolute dolt. Maybe he is right. I do think she needs a lot of attention, and fgs stop with all the crying.

If she has mainly dated black men, I cannot believe she is more into all the white men remaining on this show than she was into all the black men except Eric that have now been sent home. All of them? Not interesting to get to know the accomplished black men she sent home as friends for the future or for her girlfriends (her real girlfriends, not her Nick girlfriends)? But maybe. I think she will have to address at some point after the show is over why she sent virtually all of them home first.

So obvious that white men are Rachel's type, so she would understand where Will is coming from. If he is interested in a middle-aged white woman, I'll be happy to send Mr. MML away for a week or so....

Okay, really, last comment--and trying to be helpful--for people like you who like podcasts and don't read the articles (I think you are saying that above), wouldn't it help you to see "Listen to the full podcast" and not "Read the full article"? Otherwise you may never realize there is a podcast, depriving you of thirty plus minutes of spoken hilarity each week. As an article reader I would have just read past the posts announcing a podcast but no, for the first few episodes I fell for it. Change the post announcing an episode's podcast, and we can all be happier. Really, now I'm done--flowers to all.

Too bad--there were some very funny quotes that could have easily been pulled out of an article here and dropped somewhere else and brought a little more publicity/eyeballs to this site. Not so likely with a podcast. But thanks for your work. Oops, I commented again! Okay, *now* I'm done :).

I made a nice comment about the written recaps and how funny they were when the first non-written recap (i.e. Podcast) was announced as an article and commented that it would be helpful not to say read the article when talking about a podcast, and also said I can't listen to a 30 minute podcast. Just repeating that. Maybe you're just as funny in a podcast but I'll never know. But why only podcasts now? I'm not commenting any more on podcasts. I hope you are paid for your work.

Yes--this is why I think it will be unfair if she sends them both home. Because, truly, Lee started it, in the worst possible way, and then was sooo creepy and racist talking about Kenny playing the race card in response to the aggressive comment. He doesn't get to go there. Let Kenny stay at least until the next rose ceremony because otherwise he and Lee will be lumped together.

Seriously. And yet Show wastes massively stupid minutes on Lee. Shame on you, Show.

I agree with this soooo much. Will has the edge for me. If not F1, please make this charming well-spoken good-looking man who has a real job the next Bachelor. I hope she keeps Kenny tonight vs sending him home with Lee, because both going home at the same time makes it seem as if they are equally unpalatable, and in this case the issues are all on Lee.

Every time Rachel lets Bryan kiss her, she loses a little of her face as he gnaws on it (seriously, he goes in chewing). Soon she will have no mouth.

Thank you so much! I did not find that--will set it to record. I know, I hate this. Just say "Listen to the full podcast." Which I'm not doing.

I'll be right there :):

I just fast-forward through the credits.

I don't know if there will be a separate thread for tonight's Part 2 of this episode 5, but Chicago will have a Cubs game on according to the local station. No Bachelorette on the schedule for tonight. Doubtful the Cubs will be booted over this show :):.

Mr MML thought Jackstone stole Nick Viall's mannerisms, the smile, the looking up at the camera under his eyelashes, the way he sits, all the little endearing traits that made me want to vomit every time he was in front of any camera he could get near.

Peter Mills! I thought Red's "scalping" was rather undramatic and not that humiliating.

I would totally watch the Dean and Alex Show. Why are we not being shown more of this positive and most entertaining stuff and less fake drama? What a beautiful post about losing his mother, Debbie :( Unpopular opinion, I know, but I wish Sharleen would just go away--she is milking this franchise as much as anyone.

Wait, did you just step on my joke? :)

The rapping was so much worse than the rhyme. Maybe that crafty Show is just toying with us and trying to make us think Peter is not the front-runner.

Whenever I get married I wear much sexier underpants, especially when they're under a see-through wedding gown. Which I would get for free, like the rest of the wedding, because I promise to post it all over Instagram.
