I don't like the fact that you can vote without even watching the show. Worse yet is when the contestants encourage you to vote without watching the show.

What angers me is when contestants push their fans to vote and even instruct those on the west coast to vote without even watching the show. So now folks are voting who may not even be viewers. I don't know how they could prevent this. Perhaps the technology exists where they could display a code on live TV that allows you to vote. Wait, that won't work because someone will tweet the code. Nevermind. We're screwed. Sean should remove himself from the contest. His staying is disrespectful to the viewers, to production, and to the other contestants. I realize that he's enjoying himself, but it is so frustrating watching him get saved week after week, when more deserving contestants go home.

When were the first handheld remote keyless entry systems put in cars? I was taken aback when Simone used one. To my recollection, in 1983, the "new" technology had a keypad at the door and not a fob. Otherwise, a fantastic episode!

Yes, in her preparation for her date with Blake, she stated she was, "going to make him my bitch". Then throughout the show, she approached him like she was only looking out for him, as a best friend would. I kept questioning her motives. He'd be interested in someone and she would talk him out of it. Then when he wanted to try to make a go of it between them, she initially agreed, but then backed out of it. I really couldn't figure her out. I don't know if she was playing him, or was as broken as he was.

I was horribly confused by the whole Katie/Chris thing. Is Katie wanting Chris to reaffirm his love for her every hour? On stage, she put the ring back on, but then outside the ring was off. Did she take it off right after their time onstage was over? Or were we shown those two scenes out of sequence? All of it was painful to watch. If a relationship takes so much darn "work" in the earliest stages, then it isn't meant to be.

Angela purses her lips like she's sucking on a lemon. She must think it makes her more attractive, it only makes her look like she's trying too hard. I also think it's odd that when she does it, there's a little hole left like a straw left its imprint. I saw this one other time with another female in an advertisement for lip fillers. Hmmm...

No, I think he said he "almost" minored in dance.

Guilty, as charged.

Saber, you are right. I misread. I was more worried about Tyler possibly being disfigured or a murderer. It was a fender-bender, Tyler looked hot. I imagine Florida is hot this time of year, so open shirts are perfectly acceptable.

Isn't that an incident from 2014? You had me worried it was going to be either another Chris Soules drama or that Tyler was seriously hurt. You just wanted us to see his abs.

10 years ago, sagging pants was the trending men's fashion. Now it has gone way too far the other way. Why not wear pants that fit?

No, the problem started way before then. And they aren't married, so there is no commitment to work through things. Hey, where was this John Paul Jones we saw in the bloopers? I thought he was amusing enough but we didn't see all that much of him in the actual show. I remember Chris Harrison went on and on about JPJ prior to the show airing. But I think a lot of JPJ footage ended up on the editing room floor. I sure wish we had been able to see more of the guys whose initials weren't LP.

It reminded me of Taysha's morning after with Colton. There were lots of smiles and "umm hmmm"s going on, but little giddiness. Contrast that with her farewell to Jed and she was downright giddy. There was no talk about how respectful Jed was like there was of Tyler. So I think the windmill sex was not the only sex she had. What was the actual order of FS dates? I wonder if Luke was before Jed?

What compelled them to do that?

Does anyone really care who broke up with who? I don't. Maybe Peter and his family were talking about someone else. Maybe he told his family she broke up with him because he didn't want them to know it was the other way around. For what reasons? I don't know and I don't care. And I don't care because it was well before filming started. If Peter's ex wanted to set the record straight with her friends, that's fine. But why go to news sources with it? I think she should focus on her current boyfriend rather than concern herself over what her ex-boyfriend is doing.

Seems Peter's breakup was in December and filming for The Bachelorette started mid-March. I have no idea why this is an issue for anyone!

The scene with Luke at the limo, Hannah said something like, "you probably won't be happy I fucked in a windmill" Next shot was of her in an ITM saying, "Yes, I fucked in a windmill, (no longer seeing her face, but Lukes) and we did it a second time." So it's unclear if she said, "and we (I?) did it a second time" while at the ITM or if it was spliced in from somewhere else.

If my son brought home a woman he was dating, and they went on a trip together to the Bahamas, I would think it was serious. Then only a few weeks later he shows up with another woman with cameras all around - I'd be flummoxed. I kept waiting for one of them to say, "But what happened to you and Haley?" It seemed like there was this huge elephant in the room.

At this point, I don't know what is a spoiler and what isn't, given that Haley has her story all over the media. But I'll post this here to be safe - even though it's mostly regarding the HTDs. I found Jed's hometown to be so odd, but I would really be confused by it had I not been aware of Haley. Wow, that family really threw him under the bus! But I keep wondering what they were/weren't told. Seems to be that the "contestants" haven't met up with their families until they walk in the door with the B'ette. So Jed's family had recently been introduced to Jed's girlfriend, Haley. I suspect they knew he had an opportunity to be on The Bachelorette and had figured it to be a platform to get his musical career* on track. Jed told Haley that The Bachelorette isn't real, it's acting or that he wasn't going to be there too long to be considered a contender but it would be a great platform to launc his singing career*. *I'm almost choking on those words, they don't come easy! #wes In arrives Jed and Hannah and they are wondering what the bleep is going on! Are we supposed to be in on the "act"? What about Haley? What are we supposed to say? I honestly think they were so confused by the entire intrusion. Does Jed have any time to talk to his family to explain - not that I have any idea what he would explain. ?

I just did a little googling, and there are windmills in Mykonos, and in almost all Cyclades islands - Greece y'all!

All I could think of during that bungee jumping date is that it was freezing outside. Then the two of them sit around a meager fire in their terry robes by the river. And it was snowing! I'm still puzzled that Hannah kept her bra on until the final jump out of the cable car, yet had no issues removing her undies beforehand. Luke is a non-issue. It's clear he digs his own grave. He twists his words and the truth around like a pretzel at his whim. I fear for any woman who succumbs to this. But we know from the previews that Hannah sends him home.

It was DiMario.

Luke displays traits of a Narcissist. He also fits the profile of a potential abuser and stalker. If they indeed have a psychologist on the set, they should have recognized this and never have allowed Luke to return once Hannah sent him home.

I have to wonder if Mike's huge smile was because he was hoisting pints with the rest of the guys when Hannah arrives. Then they went whiskey tasting! >>>dude seriously lit up the room. <<< Maybe he was just lit! But in all honesty, I do think he's a good guy and would make a good lead for Bachelor.

But he was shot in the back. It would be pretty hard to claim self-defense. I rewatched the last pool scene to see if there was any trace of a bullet entry from the front and there wasn't.
