No announcement on next Bachelor.....So I'm guessing they've decided on Peter (or Brian if we're all blind sided)...or the other option, wanted to see who public reacted to most on MTA

These last few pictures are the best I've seen of Jill in a long time. I really wish they would stop putting the mittens on the babies!!! Smmy's clothes have been much cuter than Izzy's were.

Does anyone really think that Bryan isn't going to be the final one? Her "HI Baby!" on greeting him pretty much shows that he's the sealed deal. If her family says they have reservations on him- that's the final seal of approval. Everyone keeps saying they see Rachel and Peter's chemistry, I don't really see it, but I didn't see any between Nick and Vanessa either. Rachel just seems to like the other 3 a lot more than Peter. I have to say though that Peter is the only one with a real life view and realistic view of the future -and he's so damn pretty! The way Eric talks drives me crazy, but he comes across as very sincere. I still can't get over the feeling that Bryan is smarmy. His mom....wow, scary. How can Rachel not feel freaked out about her? I really, really, really hope she sets number 2 free the night before and doesn't make him go through the humiliating proposal.

I think he looks like Derick - and he's cuter at this age than Henry was. He looks a little jaundice, but that happens. Jill looks good, but whipped.

So who' wedding was the F U to the other? I would be totally pissed if my equally visible co-worker chose the same wedding weekend as I did. Heck. I was mad my cousin chose a wedding day 3 weeks before mine.

I was just going to ask...what is all that shit hooked up to him? And the things wrapped around his hands and feet? Its weird seeing such a big baby with all that crap hooked up to them, usually its a preemie.

Rewatching these episodes....Bryan blinks a lot, and looks off to the side way to often. Isn't looking to the side a sign of dishonesty?

I really hope that whoever is her number 2 choice....she cuts him loose the night before and doesn't make him go through the whole humilating proposal process like JoJo did. There is a deleted scene on you tube of Rachel and Adam making out in North Carolina. I think that the guys are/were all pretty much aware that this is a 2/3 horse race between Peter, Bryan and possibly Dean. I think they are surprised by Eric. Will not putting any moves on her probably realized before the date that it would be pointless. They all said something about Bryan being the front runner when he went on his date, and weren't too surprised by Peter and Rachel disappearing for 3 and a half hours.

Dimario says he's not coming back to BiP....too stressed out, in therapy....yada yada yada. I sense an angling for redemption bachelor?

Did the producers have a bet on the amount of men the could get to say "disengenious?" Rachel DID NOT want to pick Lee. She seemed genuinely upset when hugging Diggy and Elf boy. Dean had no idea what to do on the stage. He definitely didn’t want to just stand there and stare into her eyes. He did every move he could think of to avoid that So the only white guy to take his shirt off is Lee. I really wish they would just keep their shirts on in those situations. I’m sorry, but Eric just seems ghetto to me. Aks instead of ask really drives me crazy. though Eric is not looking for trouble, others bring it to him. Iggy is an idiot Rachel doesn’t look too into Josiah. I waver back and forth on him. Think he's funny and smart, but then he gets all braggy. Peter seems more into her – maybe he was just trying to take it slower, but he's starting to seem not all that bright. She had a Weird pose sitting with Eric – arm around him, his around her back Rachel is so over the drama. After tonight, I would like Will, Bryan, Alex. Peter is still a hotty, and is staying out of the drama, but the seeming lack of brains is turning me off. Dean is just too young, as is Eric. Kenny is too needy, Lee is a dick, Iggy is stalker dude personified,

It looked like to me he lost both hands. The scene where Serena Joy was waiting for the results was all kinds of awesome. Yes she's a selfish bitch, but the actress killed it in that scene. When she threatened June, all I could think was she was asking JJune to tdo the impossible - guarantee a healthy baby, and if that baby didn't come out full term and healthy....Hannah would be hurt. I thought Hannah was at a rich person's house. She wouldn't be being trained to be a handmaid there. They would raise them to be wives. That was the first time I liked Nick. I also think Aunt LYdia knew about the pregnancy and that is why she stopped them. SJ wouldn't allow a repeat of the situation where Aunt Lydia zapped June and possible caused her to miscarry.

Why would anyone be offended or surprised by this? It's not like these producers haven't seen people on their show have sex before. I'm surprised it was with Dimario though - Corrine...not so much

Ooh, I want Alex and Alexis too now! I'm always surprised by Peter's body language. He was a model and posed in some pretty scanty clothing; yet he's always standing with his arms crossed, or his hands in his pockets, or some other sign that he is uncomfortable. I can't decide if he's not into her, or he's trying to hold something back and not come off as a jerk/horn dog, or what.

I like Rachel better than any of the other Bachelor/ettes I've seen because she asks her men REAL questions, not just the ho hum, what'd you think questions we normally see. She really drilled Peter on their date about his motives, even asked what his parents felt. I don't think I've seen a lead do that. I don't remember her asking Anthony any deep questions, but on some of her one on ones in group dates and the cocktail party, she tried to find out what the men want by being there. How many one on ones have leads had with their winner in the past? It seems like Jordan got 3 (no counting HTV), I think Vanessa got 2. According to RS, it looks like Bryan gets 3 and Peter 2 (counting the one he already had). You know, if I didn't have any commitments, and I was even near as good looking and confident as these people are, I would totally jump at the chance to be the lead. Not because of the dating chance, but just to get the clothes and accessories!

Just finished watching. I liked it, hubby didn't make it past first epi. The Marcy reboot is interesting, otherwise her plot would be tedious. My favorites are Phillip and Trevor. A question about their ages: Trevor is supposedly centuries old, he mentioned something about the first time he was downloaded into someone...How long do the travelers live, and is it just their conciousness? I like that they choose people who are going to die anyway, but it freaks me out they can also go into people going to live - if they can go into anyone - wouldn't it make sense that if someone from the future wanted a traveler dead, they could just download a new traveler into them? We saw it happen with the traitor. Torn on what I want Carly to do with the ex. He didn't do anything wrong that time, but he is a jerk and a wife beater. What happens to the bodies of the people from the future when they get downloaded to the past?

Blake and Lucas' fight was so obviously fake - they couldn't even keep straight faces - they were biting their cheeks and grinning like idiots the whole time. I really like Kenny - but I can see that Rachel is trying to talk herself into liking him - she's just not into him. I saw a little more chemistry from Peters side tonight, but agree, last week she was way more into him than he was into her (I couldn't watch last week and am just now catching up). I don't know about Lee's social media, but he's said the smartest thing I've ever heard come out of any contestants mouth on ANY game show - "We're all a threat!" Now the rest of what he's doing - don't like. Eric did say he wasn't sure about Rachel's reasons, but in his defense, it doesn't seem like he meant it that way. He's having a hard time expressing himself. I've only watched the last 2 seasons - is there usually this much bro love? I really like the guys who get up and leave whenever the drama starts. Rachel comes across as so polished, smart and fun - I really hope she gets a happy ending and not a fame whore.

Looking up pictures of Peter (because I mean...come on) and found this: http://www.wetpaint.com/bachelorette-2017-peter-kraus-model-photos-1592927/ He's wearing the same thing he wore on the first night! Anyone know what designer this is? Most of the pictures look like they were taken when he was younger.

I don't get that picture. The suit jacket makes him look pregnant, and he really needs to pull the tie down. Though I will say - he looks...um...ok, i'll just put it out there...well endowed. She's gonna be pregnant fairly early...look at Josh and Anna. As said before, Joe is at least kind of sweet.

OMG! Bin actually looks nice - though dressed too old for his age. Dericks dressed pretty nicely for him too. The dresses look VERY simple, and WTH is in Jill's ears?!? All the girls look like they just got up and did the very basic grooming to themselves. Jinge doesn't look preggers, though Joy's dress poofs out so much, it looks like she might be!

I have a question - Can Rachel swim? I don't remember her going on any water based dates with Nick, and it looks like none of her destinations are a beach - which is very weird! the PTB not showing people half naked in swim suits? Heaven forbid! No previews of scantily clad people jumping from cliffs into waterfall ponds or ocean waves. It looks like they maybe learned their lesson with Jo Jo and didn't totally telegraph the winner in the "This season on..." Jordan was in over half of the shots, and there were way more shots of them canoodiling than her with anyone else. Rachel's "this season on" has a wide variety of men in it, the guy shown the most isthe "once you go black" guy and one of the skinny black guys.

It looks like Izzy got Deriks under eye bags. Maybe thats what we're seeing instead of black eyes (hopefully)? What is wrong with Michelle?!?

Just rewatched - I do that sometimes if I read stuff here I missed. My favorites: Kenny – don’t think she wants a kid already, liked that he asked about her, he also seems polite and gentlemanly Peter - He's a major hotty. It looks like he makes it far Josiah – didn't like him referring to himself in the third person, but liked his intro and reaction to rapper dude - he was getting progressively louder as night went on though and it annoyed me. Diggy Anthony Will - from previews it looks like he goes far I wonder if you can predict from the Bro hugs – holding privates away - that were given to her. Many of the guys stuck their butts out and didn't do a full body contact hug The Guys hovering was majorly rude, and for the first time I saw Production people in back ground, lots of times. It was great that Rachel didn't let her attention waiver from guy she was talking to when other guys were being jerks.Bryan getting first ijmpression rose (plus Jordan) is just going to make guys try and mack on the ette the first night from now on Those were some slppy looking kisses, but Real kisses that feel good probably are sloppy looking. Loved Mohit’s reaction. It looks like Bryan makes it far too - and I don't get warm fuzzys from him. I'm horrible with names, so not sure who the skinny guys featured in the previews were. Want her ring from last night - can't find it on line. It would probably drive me crazy though Rachel is first to have dog come with her. Along with Rachel finding love, they should have a little side show of Copper finding love. He is the first pet allowed from what I've read. I really want someone to say they won’t take rose ETA: Just watched the "this season on..." for the last 3 bach/ette seasons. JoJo's season is the only one that totally telegraphed the winner. Nick and Ben's "this season's" didn't give anything away.

Izzy being so white doesn't bother me. I tan pretty well. My son...not so much. He'll get sunburned - he'll have tan lines, but the next day, he looks like an Irish man from county kildare. What does bother me is the apparent black eye again. His seat on the plane doesn't bother me either. When my family of 3 travel, son usually has window, hubby is in middle, I have aisle - though we'll switch off middle. I really don't want to look outside when I'm flying anymore, and hubby doesn't like the aisle seat. Son likes looking out the window.

Why does Cooper/Copper have a cast on his foot? Do we know? I know other bachettes have owned dogs (jojo), were they allowed to bring their dogs too? Love it!

Did you see all the locks on that door behind Derrick?!? Jill's arms, legs and face look skinny in the pic - but her stomach is HUGE! She is definitely carrying all in front this time. RE: the maternity shirts. Maybe the girls are trying to be as opposite their mom as they can? Meechelle wore those hideous pregnancy shirts all the time - I hate to say it, but the tight t-shirt is an improvement to me.
