S24.E04: Week 4 - Cleveland, Ohio

[OnceSane]

Quote

Peter and the bachelorettes travel to Cleveland; Chace Rice performs during Peter and Victoria F.'s date; football legends Josh Cribbs and Hanford Dixon put a group of women through a rigorous workout; a controversial woman becomes a target of rage.

Airs January 27, 2020.

Well, according to the old Drew Carey show, Cleveland rocks.  Yeah.  Right. 

Ok, now he's feeling really good.  That means the Valium with the tequila chasers are beginning to kick in.  

[tennisgurl]

This week on The Bachelor...

 

[alexa]

That was hilarious.  They were like okay...Cleveland?  

[Ripley68]

Did he just refer to them as "his girls?!?!"

What's with the Miss America Cleveland intro (girls posing on landmarks)?

Mykenna looks like Cassie.

[JenE4]

The Bachelor mansion is in dire need of a paint job. Looking pretty rough on that exterior shot.

Harrison, you promised us biscuits. And instead we get a “worldwide journey” to Cleveland, OH. Talk about a bait and switch! For the first time in Bachelor History, at the announcement of travel, we get crickets, confused stares, and a couple of awkward giggles. 

Listen, I don’t really follow super hero stories, but even I know that Superman is from another planet, not “born in” Cleveland.

Wow, these children have all really embraced the 80's high-waist jean trend.  Sorry bitches, I've still got some of the originals.  You're all just wannabes....*LOL*

Clark Kent was raised in Smallville, Kansas.  WTF Peter?

[TheFinalRose]

Did I just see Victoria throw a toddler temper tantrum in the backseat?

[tennisgurl]

I would make fun of Victoria and her fit, but I freaking hate heights, especially surprise heights, so I can relate 😉 

[leighdear]

This whole date gets muted, because I cannot STAND her blathering, babbling and screeching. 

Oh honey, things could be MUCH, MUCH worse.

[JenE4]

Victoria says our kids will have hot dads and moms. Multiple. She’s basically telling him they’re marrying different people but each family will be hot.

Oh, yes, Vic, your kids with Chase will be pretty hot.

This is epic, though, bringing on an ex as a special musical guest star! Kudos, casting and booking team! I’m on the edge of my seat waiting out this commercial break.

 

[tennisgurl]

Bringing in an ex as the musical guest! That is right up there with the revolving champagne as far as producer driven drama can get!

[leighdear]

I hate this Bro "Country" crap they keep pretending is actual Country music.  These guys all look & sound the same.  Worthless date.  

[TheFinalRose]

She looks completely embarrassed to be with Peter. Peter is such a goober when he dances....his Dad dancing is worse than Prince William's.  

[leighdear]

She's just over-reacting in such a ridiculous, like, ya know, like idiotic and like WAY too stupid manner.  Like, ya know?

[alexa]

This season is the best!  I can get so much done because the show is so boring.  Like really boring.  I didn’t think Peter would be this bad of a bachelor.  

[SallyAlbright]

Victoria is already one of the most annoying girls in a very annoying batch. That was not a big deal, laugh and say "holy shit I used to date that guy!" and move on. Trying to make everything dramatic is so exhausting. 

I don't know how old Chase Rice is, but Peter looked about 9 years old next to him. 

But Cedar Point is the best.

Prince William's is actually funny...I think Peter thinks he's a good dancer and that's the problem.

Peter is boring for sure. But that was just one of the best moments this show has ever had! Peter all oblivious and fan girling over the music while Victoria and Chase both looked like they were going to pass out dead on the spot. Chase trying to find out if it’s serious while Peter is just trying to get a selfie.

[EllenB]

An' now fer mah AHN-core, ah'm gonner sing "Dude, I Useta Boink yer Bimbo!"

[leighdear]

I don't think either Victoria or Chase were upset or floored.  I think both were told to play it up for the drama's sake.   There is ZERO pain, honey.  

99% of men facing that kinda thing would be "No shit?  Can he get us tickets to the CMA awards"?  

[Ripley68]

I've been really good and not reading Reality STeve, but now I really want to go over there and see what he had to say about their relationship.  Why isn't Peter asking when they broke up, how long they were dating?  All the other stuff is pointless. 

I'm glad the women are bringing the drama, because I really didn't want to watch Peter as the bachelor.  The producers should all get raises this year!

[SallyAlbright]

Annnnnd Chase Rice apparently claims he spent one night in Charlotte with Victoria, while she calls him her ex boyfriend. He seems really pissed that the producers put him on her date. 

Seems like two very different takes on a "relationship."

[leighdear]

She's very plain.  Even Peter can do better.  

[JenE4]

Whelp, Victoria is “just what he’s looking for” because she’s a sobbing emotional wreck (over other guys)...just like Hannah B. The guy has a type!

[leighdear]

I hate these football/baseball/soccer dates.  Boring as crap.  

[Kendra143]

Oh Peter you are such a naive sap. Can’t wait to see his reaction to the “real” Victoria F dating history.  😬😂😂

[tennisgurl]

Do we have to do this date every freaking season? So who is going to be our crazy Luke P who takes this from "cute light game" to "murderball"?

[TiredMe]

That was some ridiculous dramatic BS. Good lord, just spit it out Victoria. She’s the girl that acts like the little girl and the big strong man needs to take care of her. Gag

[Ms Blue Jay]

Okay I love this football game.

The underdogs in this contest are doing really well and some of them are taking it sooooooo seriously.  LLOOOL i love this.

[JenE4]

I like how this coach explains football in a way that I can understand: “If they get a touchdown, then they get points, and we’re at a disadvantage.” Ah-ha! Got it...

I didn't even see them eat any food?

Not watching in real time but just had to log on to comment about the ladies' reactions to their visit to Cleveland. Crickets. Hysterical!

That amusement park is right up my alley.👍

[Katie111]

I like Natasha.  She actually seems to have a personality unlike most of these girls.  Victoria should be the one that doesn’t get to go to the party since she didn’t even play.  How did she hurt her back?  Was it on the astronaut date?  Of course she bows out of playing and Peter just showers her with attention.  

[leighdear]

Don't they do this EVERY season?  Let both sides in a contest attend the date, to maximize the number of needy & hysterical girls begging for attention?

Yeah, I thought so.  

[JenE4]

Tammy, you weren’t all literally killing yourselves. You’re all alive. Not a single person died in the making of this football game.

Everything was SO not up my alley --- the small plane, the roller coasters, the crazy rides -- but then I loved the football game and I loved how 90% of the women handled it.  Pretty amazing.  And I always thought I didn't like football.  Shi Ann?  Deandra?

And now it seems like Shi Ann is already wilting under the opportunity because she's not confident enough.

Natasha is a production assistant for some network, so the girl KNOWS TV and what she's doing.  She's not there for the man, but for her job.

Interesting... The contestants know they are signing on for producer shenanigans as a price for potential Instagram fame, but the celebrities who do cameos probably don't expect their personal dramas to be dragged into the show. Wonder if this stunt will have an impact on the future stars TPTB are able to book...

Yeah, I thought so.  

Have they ever had a contest, where they really only let one half of the group go to the cocktail party?

And now here Alaya comes clomping like a horse.

At least Tammy didn't say "literally" shooketh.

[Kendra143]

Shiann just said 8 “likes” in 2 sentences. Where do these women learn to speak??

[EllenB]

Shiann's voice makes me want to do a double Van Gogh on my ears.  Damn, monotone, vocal fry, and likelikelikelike is sheer torture.

[DEL901]

Shooken?   Really....???   Omg, you are dead to me after that one, was it Tammy?   I still don’t know all the names.   

Edited January 28, 2020 by DEL901

[JenE4]

Victoria stole you and I have to talk to you second about how I didn’t get to talk to you first!

These girls really know how to make drama out of nothing.

now HERE comes some real drama! Getting interrupted by someone who was already eliminated! You want to complain about Victoria P, Shianne, we’ll give you something to whine about!

Shooketh.  Yes, Tammy.

I first heard the term in this viral video:

[tennisgurl]

I really dont know any of the other girls, its all drama all the time with like three people. Why is any of this happening!?

[leighdear]

Here's Natasha's website if anybody doubts she's a TV pro and just there for the exposure.

Is the speaker Amish or some other Pennsylvania Dutch type?

[SassyCat]

Cripe! Speaking of clomping, Aleahaha shook the earth with that clomping entrance.

[JenE4]

They did go to Vegas together! So, Victoria P is the liar. But she’s crying hysterically, so she’ll get away with it. Now they’re hugging?!? They’re holding hands?!? Now in the course of this conversation Victoria went from we’re not really friends to we’re friends. Who’s the fake pageant girl now?! Literally no one knows! Peter contemplates throwing himself into the shark tank as it slowly dawns on him that maybe they’re both fake. But they’re pretty so give them both roses just in case.

[TheFinalRose]

Peter is so easily manipulated ... the producers must laugh their butts off planning the next scam to shake him up.
