The entire time Tia was crying, I imagined her rebounding just fine in a few months on BiP.

I'm skeptical about Lauren. She's been engaged 2x already and was going to be married just 7 months ago.

Meeting Lauren's family has the vibes of Bryan meeting Rachel's, including him leaving the dinner table.

Well that was a let down! I was expecting Marissa to be up. Doesn't look like Brandi is going.

I wasn't expecting the VIP to win. I was hoping for the spotlight which is what I voted for because it guarantees a switch without nullifying Ms O's nominations. Lot on the line to win this.

I need every season to be a celebrity season! Even with a cast I didn't particularly care for in the beginning, this had been so much better than the regular season that evokes every single negative emotion in me watching the worst display of humanity. I find myself actually liking these people and I never thought I could have a positive feeling ever about Omarosa or not be disgusted by Brandi.

I think it depends on the personality of the lead. Rachel's season was quite entertaining because she was a social butterfly while Arie comes off as boring because he's laid back and if the girls he's dating don't bring anything interesting either, especially the one he ends up with, then it's boring tv. Not that I want made up drama like Krystal either. Arie and his batch of women just didn't give production much to work with and I for one am disappointed because I was definitely pro Arie vs Peter before the season began and was excited for this season. Btw, as much as I didn't believe her choice, Rachel managed to have all the drama and it not be just for show. Power to her for proving me wrong and making a genuine love connection.

That would annoy the crap out of me if you actively ignored me for 3 days and then all pile on my bed to commiserate with me when I'm nominated.

Kevin looks Neanderthally, I don't see the attraction. Christian needed captions.

So I prepped myself with?to get through this. I conclude that I did kill quite a few gray cells and don't think I'm making it through the whole episode. I was embarrassed to see ?? on the jackets of some of these morons. Luke was a pleasure to see again, although I just saw him on celebrity family feud 2 days ago. ?? eliminates their contestants in style, just fly off and leave her stranded in the tarmac. An anthem!!! ?

Bekah was not the right match for Arie, but she was a breath of fresh air in an otherwise mundane season. Girl, you lucked out, boring Arie would suck all the bubbliness out of you. Be you and be free. Arie has tried to "be logic" multiple times today, anyone else notice that?

Lauren's 2nd date was as boring as her 1st, Becca's was very natural and Sienne was so beautiful but they spent most of that date separate. I think Jaq made the right move. The episode winner was Tuscany.

I was so excited for this season before it started. Needless to say, I have been sorely disappointed. Even the elimination of Krystal which I knew was coming today didn't elicit any reaction from me. Who'd have thought I'd miss the likes of Corinne. Lauren was soooo boring and the Moulin rouge date felt like a sleazy senior ogling girls in thongs. I've found myself barely paying attention this season and don't see it getting better. Arie having procreated (albeit a miscarriage) was news to me.

This date with Lauren is soooo boring. So he picked her because she's the one who was playing hard to get or least interested?

I was waiting for Soft Kitty all episode. Good one ?

Wow was that boring. I mean the best part of the episode was Arie's "group date" with the golden girls.

I'm going to pass on this, no "celebrities" I'm interested in watching.

All I have to say is where was the taxidermy duck at the RC?

Becca who got the 1st date. No way he's taking Bekah home to mommy. I like her, but to him she seems like a sexy kitten fun time to keep around till before home town dates, no serious potential. But I realized later I also like Ashley and Sienne, just hadn't seen much of them before.

Ok, is anyone liking this season? I just can't get into it. I was hoping that it was just because I hadn't yet had time in the 1st 2 episodes, but there's just no denying it's rubbish. Why do they come up with these stupid pugilistic group dates every season? Last week's derby was ok, this was just uncomfortable. The dog show was ok. Omg, Annalise has too much traumatic baggage, geez! Again wtg production on her trauma reenactment, whoever came up with that deserves a raise for the only interesting thing so far. The only person I seem to still have a positive opinion of is Becca.

The head to head elimination was a nice twist and fun with Phil's running commentary. Poor team Yale though, glad they made it in the end. That diamond detour looked too complicated for me. I like team skiers. Team BB are much more palatable so far on TAR, but I still remember the ugliness of the house, just can't bring myself to root for them. I can't believe the goat yogans didn't switch after the 1st head to head.

Amazing creds on some of the cast! There's definitely some root worthy teams. I'm excited for this season :-) Lucas better not lose that ring in all the craziness of the race. 1st impressions, I'm liking team violins and freaking gorgeous Iceland. Goat yoga must suck, no zen there.

So who voted for whom? Ok I like Lauren but not sure I want to see a season full of dumb dumbs who blew a HII. I was hoping to see less of those stupid HIIs and secret advantages.

Ready to start the engines and tear this season apart? I think I'm going into this one for all the wrong reasons as in probably don't care who wins or if there's real love in the end, especially since our Saber and Jade aren't there to root for, but definitely in for the hotness factor and the travel porn. Maybe those are the right reasons. Arie's bro is a hottie too, married hottie. Tia looks just like her bff Raven, Arkansas jokes not intended. Sorry if that was mean, blame it on the alcohol. I could have done without the bad kiss segment, ick and eww, I had forgotten them for a reason. On past success stories, why do they never bring back Holly and Blake Julian? So why did they make him walk through a desert in a suit? This is going to be fun, bring on Jan 1.

Came back to say I'd like to see Lauren and Sunny back for a family edition and Desi for a 2nd chance.
