I'm glad I came here before I watched the episodes. I've been watching heavy spoilers, and wasn't thinking too highly to begin with. I too was very excited about a reboot, though I thought the casting of Trash, Tom, Mother Abigail and NIck were spot on in the original. The actor who played Tom was perfect in looks and attitude. I was really hoping that they would do a MUCH better job in casting Nadine, Flagg, Harold and Frannie. All great actors, just not the people for those roles. Totally agree with all the points made above about those actors. My favorite part of the book and the OS was the spread of the disease, I lost interest once everyone was in there respective locations. Looks like I'll pass on this one.

Wow....she freaked me out there for a minute, fooled me totally with her but. First time a lead has done that. Totally agree Chris let Zac know he as the winner when he got out of the car with that nod. There stress and emotion is freaking me out. Are they really happy? Their words to each other are awesome, but she LOOKS unsure. are these her happy tears? I want them to make it if he really is all that that he seems. Her yes is the most sincere yes I've heard from any woman on this show.

Her "date" with Ben she's wearing what she was wearing when her dad came to talk her out of a proposal. This is being shown in weird order. I do like it when the lead cuts the 2nd place before the rose ceremony. I don't like them going through the humiliation of the fake proposal. I know TPTB want the drama of not knowing who is picked. Maybe they could show it right before the winner steps out of the car? I was typing...did she tell Ben she fell in love with Zac?

Man....I hope they're not showing Zac being this awesome dude, and when he gets home he's a dick. awww....I love her word vomit freak out.

I want her jewelry and shoes. Zac may be my mot favoritist contestant ever. And T is definitely my favorite lead - mostly because she is articulate.

That was a majorly frankenbitten ITM. Glad the tears were because of memories her dad brought up, and not angst over another guy. Zac, "I am the one thing in life I can control! I am inimitable I am an original."

The look she was giving Zac while introcucing him to her parents was so sweet! What's Dad gonna say when he learns about his druggie past. Ooooh......here it comes. Dad is not going to be happy. Zac just seems so "together," adult, confident. I hope it really works if she picks him (which it looks like she is)

I"m a little worried. We're only a half hour in, Zac's date isn't going to take an hour and a half. What crap are they going to throw at T and us now?

He left West Point? Why? I thought he was in the military for 12 years or something. Hmm...I may be wrong. We all know Zac is the winner at this point (unless Brendan mysteriously shows up), but they are giving Ben a ringer right now. I'm laughing at myself, because I remember T's dad from when she was a contestant. Okay, so, they said nice things about him. He's definitely not winning.

Once again, she is calmer sending someone home that she had really strong feelings for and a good connection with, than she did sending someone home we saw her have 2 whole sentences with. How can Zac not know he's the winner at this point. You don't pick the person you already sent home and who you know has issues over the person who has been open with you the whole time. Now I want to know what the problem with Ivan was. His he muslim? Is she?

Zac looks like a Dad talking to his kid explaining life. He should feel way better about where he stands after she sends Ivan home. He looks kind of like he's going to harf.

I'm sick of people being allowed, told to come back. And I really hate the way Ben grabs her neck to keep her from leaving so he can kiss her. He's done that before. In the tradition of all previous meet the parents, whoever her parents hate is who she'll pick....right?

I really hate Rachel's hair that way. She's had it that way for a long time. oooo, that "zac has been really interesting to me" was totally frankenbitten. Rachel did ask real questions, unlike Jo Jo. Shouldn't they know that Brendan left since the other 2 came back from their dates and he didn't? If I was Zac, and she said I Love you to me, I would have asked if she had feelings for other guys too. He sounds so hopeful. Dirtypop, all other seasons have 3 days between fantasy dates. Tayshia's were back to back.

I think she was in shock. Has anyone left of their own volition before the fantasy card got handed out? Really want to know since I only started watching with Jo Jo. She has been saying since their first date that she sees Brenden as her husband, so he must have been her number 1, though her chemistry with Zac is off the chart. Yeah, she's crying, but she acted more upset when Blake left.

Brendan looks like he's going to puke. The powers that be totally set him up because they know he's already freaking out.
