S24.E09: Week 9 - Overnight Dates (Australia)

[SallyAlbright]

Hannah should be thrilled at Madison's stance. Much less competition for her if Madi drops out. I actually don't know why the other women care at all, if anything it's great news for them.

Australia! One of my favorite places on the planet. Also has a much better version of the Bachelor. 

All is saw was a picture of the Australian bachelor and I concur.

[leighdear]

That up-talk she does is so beyond annoying.   But everything out of her mouth is a lie, so there's that.....

It's like...annoying? But it's also, like...lies?

[tennisgurl]

Spin-off featuring the emotional support cow and that offscreen monkey?!? 

[EllenB]

Why the hell is Victoria singing instead of talking?  And was that previous relationship before, after, or during the time she was with the married guys? 

[Thumper]

Seems like so much work for these two (Victoria).

[Adeejay]

I can't believe Peter told Victoria she has nothing that needs working on. Really, Peter? This is the same woman who has been pushing you away since Day One. The only reason she is still here is because you want to take her to the fantasy suite.  

[tennisgurl]

Has Mads so quickly forgotten windmill gate?!?

It’s too much work to just WATCH it!

That's why he's not saying anything. He's SO CLOSE!

[Kiss my mutt]

I have no idea what Victoria just said but peter is lapping it up.

I could not stop staring a Peters scar. Good lord! What kind of hack sewed that up? It looks like a two year smushed some play doh on it. 

I couldn’t see anything through Madison’s mascara.

[leighdear]

Jeez, it's like he's talking to a child that speaks another language.  Or maybe is on the Autism spectrum with the no eye contact, constantly touching her face, inappropriate giggles, etc.  

And he feels good about her?   

[Riplet68]

That was the first real answer Victoria’s given this whole season.  But then she back pedals immediately.  Peter is finally getting what he’s been keeping her around for.  Yeah, sure... he only wants to talk. BIG eye roll. Been through so much?!?  Holy bejeezus 

she loves him so much?!?!?  When has she ever shown him?  She didn’t even look him in the eye when she told him.

so essentially Hannah Anne pathetically tells Peter "its ok, do what you have to do and I will be here for you". I guess she will be one of those who never watches the season and just lives in her denial. I was ok with her until that moment. cannot imagine telling a man I am in love with " honey its ok if you sleep with other women Ill be waiting here. GROSS!!!!

the mascare is terrible and the scar?? OMG needs a bandaid!!! lol.

[EllenB]

There's an old Judy Collins song with the line, "Young men holding violets are curious to know if you have cried, and ask you why and tell you why, any way you answer." It's a particular type of mansplaining that pretends it's to help the woman with her issues.  Peter is just another condescending piece of shit.  And I don't even like Victoria!

[leighdear]

Must be strange for her to know they can screw each others brains out and she doesn't have to worry about his wife walking in.  Or maybe she liked the risk.  

[SassyCat]

I have gotten to the point where I can't stand to look at Peter's sweaty,  stubbly, hamster cheeked baby boy face anymore. He's just a horn dog who thinks so highly of himself. He's an incredible turn off in my book. He's saying what these girls want to hear so he can boink each and every one of them. He has no shame. I want to puke when he kisses someone. Yuck!

so what did she say?? I even replayed it and all I got is she doesnt feel good enough but why??

[SHD]

Two beautiful rooms so far...that means Madison is going to get the yurt?

[leighdear]

Madison talks and acts like a Duggar daughter.  

[FlyingEgret]

Does Australia not have tissues? 

[JenE4]

Huh? Victoria wasn’t able to emote any more than she has been other than vaguely referencing a bad 3.5 year relationship. And yet now he feel like he’s “overcome” more with her and is emotionally closer than anyone?!? No you’re not!! Peter is a disaster. 

[Artsda]

What did she expect from him? This is "windmill" Peter whose sex life was already public knowledge.

[alexa]

This whole scenario is a mess.  It is the lowest of lows to have the girls stay together.  There is no excuse they can make that ever makes this right.  The show was already sleazy enough, but now it is downright gross.  It is like a harem of women waiting to sleep with Peter.  

[Riplet68]

She said she knows she’s been pushing him away, and she needs to give him answers, told him about a relationship 3 years ago where she was always put down for her feelings, or told how to feel, so she’s never sure how to answer when peter asks.  She than returned to old form.  and would she PLEASE GOD stop sticking her ugly white finger nails in her eyeballs when she wants to cry!!!

Between this “emotional” talk with Victoria and Madison’s “soul bearing” conversation earlier on...I’ve never heard so many words and not a single coherent grasp of what the hell they’re trying to say.

[Adeejay]

Victoria to Peter: "Last night was so good."  If she isn't his final one, then he has a lot of explaining to do.  This is why most of the couples from this franchise do not work out.

Hannah Ann knows Peter is the most into Madison so she's worried he will go chasing after her. It's what Colton did last season when the one he wanted dropped out. 

[tennisgurl]

Victoria struggles with emotions? That all we get from her! It’s all screaming and crying stomping off, she’s operating at an eleven most of the time!

[JenE4]

Did Peter just say he can picture his life with Victoria C? This is Victoria F! Was the other one even Victoria C? Wasn’t she Victoria P? Who is Victoria C?

Spoiler

The producer?

A senior citizen bachelor?!??!  Is it going to be “aw, cute seniors in love,” or “wow, that 60 year old is hot!”

 

So, I’m behind and hubby’s only exposure to the show is when he walks in when my watching. I was stunned they were looking for seniors and I asked him, what do you think they mean by seniors and he said 30 years old 🤣🤣🤣 I told him I thought maybe 35.

TV, like any business is about making money and many baby boomers watch mostly network TV - so maybe not a bad business decision. 

When I turned 50, I thought I would get discounts at stores because AARP wanted me. However, I soon discovered that you needed to be 55 for the discounts. I turned 55 in November and now I don’t get a discount until I am 60 - 
So 60 is the 30 seems to be the attitude.

There are a lot of young “seniors” who look awesome. 
 

In the last few years, the largest rise in STDS has been in senior retirement communities. not that’s what they should highlight.

 

[Riplet68]

Did you see Victoria’s evil smirk when Maddie got so uncomfortable and left.  Hannah at least looked uncomfortable too; Victoria looks like she’s enjoying making Maddie squirm 

I think Maddie is the only one who really cares about him

Edited February 25, 2020 by Riplet68

[Adeejay]

I believe Peter saying that in the back of his mind he always knew he and Victoria would be good together, was just his way of saying he knew the sex would be good.  Victoria telling the ladies their getting together was productive, was weird and wince inducing.

[tennisgurl]

Victoria was practically cackling with glee when Madison looked uncomfortable hearing about their date. Almost with as much glee as the producers presumably.

Peter doesn’t want a boring, harmonious relationship. He wants dysfunctional one. And Victoria is boring, apathetic, and stupid, not exciting. A challenging relationship is supposed to be one that opens your mind up. He’s such an idiot. 

[SHD]

Same page? I don’t think Madison and Peter are even in the same BOOK.

[Thumper]

Haven’t watched this show in years.

I’m confused, because he says all the right words for each of them.  

Did he seriously make Madison climb those ladders???  Eek!

[Mu Shu]

God Victoria and the stupid, insecure uptalk. Can’t stand her.

Exactly ! So if she says oh “Peter, don’t worry you can do whatever you want and I’ll just be here waiting “ oh this show always makes women look sooo bad..... and pathetic . Ugh. 

[Stats Queen]

I’m like 20 minutes behind, and Victoria and Pathetic Pilot Pete are starting their date and he likes her and said he doesn’t want to live back at home. What the f? You are a pilot for Delta, you can easily afford not to live on your own. Well, that’s a red flag - but between them there are at least a couple of dozen red flags.

WTF? Options are live at home or getting engaged to an unstable woman you’ve spent maybe 50 hours with?

No middle ground at all between those scenarios? 

[EllenB]

Sneaky with the two silver sequined outfits on Madison.  Makes the editing even more dubious.

[TheFinalRose]

His scar is so bad, especially in HD.  The camera men needed to go full Ariana Grande on him and photograph him only from his good side. 

Edited February 25, 2020 by TheFinalRose

[SallyAlbright]

It makes me sad that Victoria and Hannah are so astonished by a woman putting Peter "on the spot" and "questioning him." 

You should be comfortable questioning a guy you could be engaged to in a week. I don't share Madison's beliefs, but I respect her for sticking to what is important to her. The fact that Victoria and Hannah seem willing to just do whatever he wants without challenging him concerns me. 

[tennisgurl]

God this whole episode is just one horribly awkward conversation after the next.

[Mu Shu]

If I were leg less I’d mug someone for their walker and find a way to walk away from Peter. With no legs and a potentially useless walker. He’s not a catch, he’s a carp. Jesus, he’s uncomfortable she doesn’t want to have fumbling sex with him. Ick

[b2H]

Madison is going to have to accept what Peter is and who he is and the situation that he is in.  If he does end everything with the others on asking her to marry him, then all should be well.

And I sincerely want to know why Madi is overworking her mouth, between licking and swirling, it is truly annoying.

Edited February 25, 2020 by b2H

[Riplet68]

YES!!! Maddie had said what every sane person thinks about this show.  You don’t have to sleep with someone in the fantasy suite, you can wait to know the person better.  If you love someone and you know your going to pick that person, you shouldn’t sleep with anyone else. 

[alexa]

I am so impressed with her for basically saying I can’t wrap my head around accepting a proposal if you just slept with someone else 6 days ago.
