Rainsong, this is hilarious. The Mike Douglas show! A blast from the very distant past. Did they have to set the camera filter on blinding light? Ouch. If they want Heather for the Bachelorette they sure are not helping her case by making her terribly annoying.

Darn it. Now I'm actually looking forward to next week to see the coven go after Heather.

Katie wore a down puffer coat for her romantic date. l like her more now.

That's because Hannah B thought he was a player and then she really regretted thinking that, especially after Jed the Liar did her wrong. Hannah tried to get Tyler back after the show but Gigi Hadid was DM-ing Tyler and it was game over for Hannah.

Yes, or Jed with his dog food jingle. Better Bowl.

The genius production values on this season continue: using the security tape footage from the check-in gate to give us that behind the scenes, this wasn't set up at all vibe and they are actually letting the un-quarantined Heather Martin crash their covid bubble.

There are too many girls that I still have no clue as to what their names are or if they were on the show since the beginning. Thin the herd!

MJ forgot her pants.

Wait ... Matt calling MJ and Jessenia to the principal's office is the Pandemic Two on One date?

Do not fear. The Cameo celeb records a message to the recipient and then sends a link. There is no real personal interaction required. Plus, the recipient and friends are usually rolling around the floor laughing while watching it, so I do not think the celeb would want to be there for that.

My daughter and her friend gave a Barb cameo to another friend. It's a joke thing. Ben met his current fiance by first randomly seeing her on Instagram and DMing her. The fiance is much younger (right out of college younger) and lives in Nashville, TN. And, drumroll, do you want to know who else lives in Nashville, TN? His ex-fiance, Lauren and her country music star hubby Chris Lane. I wonder if Ben ever heard about the subconscious? He should look into it.

I believe the limitations of what they will show on tv makes every lead read as boring. Sean Lowe is hysterical on his Twitter, but he didn't get to show that side off. So much time has to be devoted to the catchphrases: I see my wife in the room, cheers, can I walk you out?, it's me, not you, family is really important to me, my wife should be my best friend, etc. As I said on the thread for the first episode of Matt's season, my daughter's friend, a blonde copywriter from Chicago, was also in the running to be cast. The role of blonde copywriter from Chicago obviously went to Anna, but what gets me about their picking Anna over said friend, was that as part of the casting process included filming them talking from different angles to see how they appear on camera. Knowing this, I can't understand how Anna got cast with her constant stink face!

Don't you mean finasco ™ Hannah Ann?

Ben has a book coming out, which is probably why he was game to come on the show. Here is the title of his book, and I am not making this up: Alone in Plain Sight: Searching for Connection When You're Seen But Not Known. Or, in other words: How to Keep Talking About Yourself Constantly But Saying Nothing Of Importance Whatsoever But No One Has The Guts To Tell You To Go To Intensive Therapy Instead of Constantly Reappearing On The Bachelor Franchise to Feel Relevant.

The difference is that I doubt Matt James will be showing up on every Bachelor show in the foreseeable future to smile at the camera like Ben has/does.

"It's a lot" is the new catch phrase here. Everyone keeps saying it. And Anna is going to have to go to face expression therapy after she sees herself on tv making a stink face all the time.

I want Ben Higgins' input? HAHAHA. The guy has nothing to offer as he didn't stick with Lauren! Even in the middle of the pandemic, he has to worm his way onto the show.

I think they quarantined a lot of women, just in case of a corona outbreak mid-show. When Sarah left and Matt was downcast, maybe he said he's afraid it won't work out and they thought heck, let's roll out the captives.

Wow. Matt was leaning away from MJ and Mari during their little conversations. No wonder they cart in new women!

Someone tell these women that if Matt really wanted to talk to any of them, he would. He just would rather be flopping on the bed with Sarah!

They are so starved for content on this pandemic shutdown location that I believe the producers had Matt cut short the evening portion of the date before all the women got to speak to him just to put a bigger target on Sarah's back. Of course, Sarah is nutz and going way overboard with her emotions. I really liked her because she looks just like Alexis from Schitt's Creek, and Alexis from Schitt's Creek is amazing. But now Sarah is done for with this crowd. you posted this while I was posting the same thing! jinx.

What is this? The producers can't even bother to come up with a date idea ... instead they just put all the women up to talking dirty.

Good thing I am in repose on my big comfy couch because the uncomfortable turtleneck fashion flashbacks are coming hard and fast tonight. OH NO Ashley I. Go away! And why is Chris Harrison still plugging that book that was written years and years ago?

I am horrified that there is a turtleneck under a plaid shirt outfit ahead of us tonight. That was my go-to 70s/80s fashion and I am not one minute into this show and I am having junior high PTSD.
