PREACH! Are they sneaking new women in at the RCs?! I thought the abrupt leaving of Krystal was COLD, Baby! But I guess Arie just couldn't bear one more breathy confessional, conspiratorial, cuckoo word from her, you know? But Arie---For a wannabe cannibal? Oy. You know why we saw only the minimal outside of the Moulin Rouge? Because it is in a very, um, non-photogenic area of the city. As for the "Group Date," who chose this spot--Kris Jenner? Yeah, very enlightened to take these women to a STRIP JOINT (Oh, fancy it up all you want) AND have them wear outfits whose rear view had to be blacked-out for U.S. TV. W.T.H.?! But kudos to Bekah for getting into the joie de vivre! It wasn't only Lauren ("Wow") who was excruciatingly boring with her (lack of) observations of Paris. Arie could summon up only "This is pretty," you know? So why does someone who needs to spend years hence obtaining a Ph. D. go on this show? Another mystery for the ages, you know? Cue next week's "Buh-BYE." The more we learn of Arie's past, the more I don't want to learn, you know? But I don't think he No-Rosed Chelsea over the kids angle, because....Emily. He must have his eye on another. Arie ends his sentences with "you know?" a lot. You know?

I would be shocked if Owen or Henry abandons this career goal. Their knowledge is already deep and broad (e.g., Owen not only knows of Michelin 3-Star chefs; he knows their RECIPES), and their years-long experience in mastering various techniques, in discovering flavors and cuisines, and, finally, in being in this competition, point towards continuation. That is to say, they have been in the arena with famous chefs---as helpers, as judges, as tasters---and been found worthy. This wasn't the school recital; it was the Van Cliburn competition!

Henry, Milo, and Owen can cook the proverbial rings around Rahanna. Maybe Owen will reach too far (like making ten things instead of one) and lose, IOW defeat himself, but otherwise the contest is his to lose.

The dance club scene was also to show how, even when telling the truth---Cunanan first said he was a serial killer---Cunanan could get away with much. But hey---I've waited since the 1999 Grammys to see Ricky Martin starkers, so I thought this episode was AWESOME! ???

Jeana is the stunning reincarnation of Queen Nefertiti. Should have been chosen as the best.

Arie will not choose either Bekah OR Krystal, is my partial prediction. Arie mentioned the world-view changes one goes through between Bekah's decade and his; and he doesn't want a wife who will stalk his house showings, all needy and breathy and pouty. Nor will we see "Mixed-Race Engaged Couple, Redux." Thus, I give the editors kudos for the massive distraction from whomever Arie does choose!** I can barely picture any of the rest! **I haven't read any Spoilers, so I could be as wrong as rain!

Dammit! Arie, you had ONE rose ......! ? Cannot believe he kept Jessica Rabbit. ? Don't forget, sabre5055, this IS Arie's second show. I predict that DWTS is on his horizon. ? As for Bekah, he can assuage any cradle-robbing guilt by reminding himself that he tried to tell her. ? I didn't recognize some of the No Rose women who had to pack their knives and go. Oh, wait. ?

Does no-one there care to speak to Arie of his current career of selling real estate? Because, after racing, that mundane job says to me, "I really want a career in Reality TV like Sean Lowe's." ?

He said it! ☑ ? "Kendall and I's ...." ? ? ? ?

Neither Robyn (for whom I was actually rooting) nor Milly has the demeanor for a Ramsay restaurant.

"It depends on whose ox is being gored" is a saying. http://www.profitatanyprice.com/2015/06/whose-ox-is-being-gored.html

Claudette was dumb like a proverbial fox and Gail was just dumb, at Judges' Table. Tanya was like, there is no good or easy way to explain how Claudette kept interrupting my work, asking for this, that, or the other. IOW, Tanya recognized Claudette's "poor little teamwork me" sabotage for what it was, was p.o'ed, and thus bristled at being questioned by Gail, inferring criticism. And the more Gail asked, the madder Tanya got. And I for one got her, completely. When did Brooke acquire facial expressions, vocal inflections, and a smile? She had none as a contestant. Still don't care for her. Nutella? Really? https://www.nutella.com/en/us/range

Stranger danger! ? Jephte checked out the second he checked Shawniece out. Zero attraction to her. ☠ He then made it painfully obvious that he doesn't even want to look at his new wife, never mind flash that alleged big old smile. ? Shawniece, being human, perceives all this "just not that into you" behavior. THAT is why she fussed about how he put her full MAIDEN name into his phone: She knew the gesture symbolized Jephte's determined distance from this "stranger." ? I'm Team Jonathan. This isn't "The Dating Game." Molly better watch her slow-moving P's and Q's, or at "divorce or not" time she'll be singing, "Jonny, I Hardly Knew Ye." ? As for Ryan and Molly, I thought the entire "condom" bit was gross. A newly-wed man telling his bride the morning after about his prior condom-wearing (or not) habits? STHU! ? I must have fallen asleep for much of the show, as I don't recall much about the couples' social activities in Jamaica. ? Hey, PreevieTeevees (can I make that happen? ?), Sean and Catherine are on CNBC's Reality show " Billion Dollar Buyer" tonight at 10:00 p.m. Eastern. He's found his career niche, has Sean not? ?

This episode was, to me, a snoozer. I mean, if there's going to be a controlling man, please for the love of God make him either good-looking or animated.

Smooch. Women compete in a violent "sport"---again. Smooch. Smooch. Roses. Dogs. No roses. Limos. Smooch. Smooch. Smooch. Bibiana, you forgot Rule 1: The Bachelor will always get rid of a whiner, especially a whiner who names-checks.

Thanks a lot, Anne. Get rid of the decent-looking guy and keep the fat twin. Apparently one didn't even need to make the required dish.

I ❤ THIS SHOW! Ciao, Bella! ? ? ?? ?

Thank goodness Elise got the boot! Even I know not to blenderize taters! I want Robyn to win it all.

What a crock. What a damn crock. Henry was the most sophisticated young chef ever on this show. ALL of Rahanna's dish was punky dry from over-cooking. Henry's fish was undercooked, but his sauce was highly praised. That he missed a portion didn't seem to be a factor. Milo is a shoo-in now (which is okay by me).

Apparently Brother isn't the only person who thinks "German" and "egg roll" go together. Check out the "Rouladen Rolls": http://www.hessenhaus.com/

I have watched all iterations of PR since the get-go. NEVER did I hear anything like the audible GASP that greeted Anthony's fabulous "Gambia Girl at the Met Ball, Post-Apocalypse" gown. A-Mazing. I ❤ Isaac Mizrahi.

Hoo-boy.?? Shawneice and Jephte: ? One Mom decides she can't be arsed to learn his name ("You're 'J' to me"). The other decides to INTERRUPT the ceremony to make it all about HER and her crappy sash. W.T.H? Then his "big smile" is praised, emphasizing the fact that Jephte has NOT heretofore SHOWED---not even during the vows---that big smile to, for, or about Shawneice, still the Queen of TMI. Aaand---the lap-dance. Yikes. ? As a teacher (Spoiler? ?) Jephte will put his soon-to-be ex-wife in the "Wild and Crazy Friend" zone. ? Molly and Jonathan: ? See, my take on her "Oh, you'll find another job" is that she was being kind and supportive, but not dumb or naive. I believe he's truly attracted to her (note his hand on her waist), but in watching my TIVO repeat, I noticed at the 51-minute mark that Jonathan looks away and to the left when saying the word "love." J/S! Jacklyn and Fireman Ryan: ? Princess! Fairytale! Beyond beyond! In Cinemascope! Oh, wait. ? Anywho---Looks-wise, I think they are a match in "cute." They both seem earnest and sincere, nothing outre or TMI, no "I have to tell her soon". No secret toking, no Big Bus, no T-shirts or apartments for sale or rent. So what could or does go wrong?!? Tune in next time to find out, PrevieTeevees! ?

Other Things This Episode Reminded Me Of: --"He's Just Not That Into You, or You, or You." --"Judge (Name Any)": Innumerable pathetic tales of "Love and Loans Don't Mix." --"90-Day Finance, I Mean Fiance." --"Untold (For a Good Reason) Stories of the E.R." --"Project Run Away." --"Say 'Hell, NO!' to the Dress." --"Dancing with the Arse."

Empress1, I didn't see any bridal party dresses! Good thing I'm getting my eyes checked this month! Re: Anthony and Ashley, and participants' "pre-meetings." No. The show would be totally destroyed if its very premise, its raison d'etre, was found to be fake, and the people merely actors---and liars!---with their friends and family. Anthony's dream wasn't just the letter "A"; it was an "A" lit up by a flashlight. A flASHLight. I don't think he or anyone else made this up.
