S16.E04: Week 4

[OnceSane]

Quote

Clare makes a stunning revelation to Chris, who shares the startling news with the men that the cocktail party and rose ceremony are canceled.

Airs November 5, 2020*

 

*NOTE: This airs THURSDAY, not Tuesday.

[CindyBee]

Hi everyone.   Looking forward to 2 hours of this mess of a show and see if Clare's edit gets any worse.

Kenny the boy band manager is growing on me!   Gah I need help

[saber5055]

Ha ha ha, the guys get carry-in meals in styrofoam cartons and eating utensils sealed in plastic. Harsh!

CH: We need to have a serious just you-and-me tlak.

Yeah Harrison, just you two and a zillion of us viewers.

[leighdear]

I can actually get where she's coming from.  If you've never had an irrational obsession for somebody, you can't relate & probably think she's a freak.  But it happens to rational people. 

[CindyBee]

Hahahahahaha, she's so delusional!   Poor Dale.   

[JenE4]

I need this show (and this chat) after watching non-stop election coverage since Tuesday! 

Harrison’s slate-blue shirt is making his eyes pop. Chris, will you accept this rose?

[leighdear]

Chris should have done the girl a solid & advised her to ditch the fake eyelashes & extra mascara before they met up.  

Scruffy Chris is looking delicious in blue.  Good end line, Chris.  You really can't go anywhere from that.

I was just about to ask the same thing. Does anyone believe this will last longer than her last engagement?

[CindyBee]

I am going to feel just a bit bad for Clare if this doesn't work out with Dale.   So I guess I'm rooting for them!

He's wearing that color blue totally by accident. *cough*

So now we know she's all 100-percent in on Dale because she was snooping in his SM while dude didn't have a clue about her. So she's all smitten and that's that. Will it work? I'm totally smitten with Kevin Costner but I'm not planning on him moving in with me any time soon.

They’re going to draaaag this thing out for 2h aren’t they 😡

[JenE4]

Oh, man. She didn’t even get to consult Dale before making this decision?! What if she “blows up the Bachelorette” and he’s like, “You mean have a relationship not on TV? No thanks. I’ll stick around for Tayshia.”

Unfortunately yes.  

[CraftyHazel]

I’m just a hard-hearted bitch, I guess, because I hope Dale leaves her high and dry.

[DEL901]

Dale is kind of in a no-win situation if he isn’t as smitten.  If he turns her down, he looks like a jerk for leading her on.  And Matt James is already the Bachelor so that isn’t an option for him, so he may as well go with the flow and milk it as much as he can ....unless he is in love too, then my best to them both.  

“There isn’t going to be a cocktail party tonight” or ever again.

Everybody knew that Clare was going to be Bachelorette since she was announced on March 2nd.  Her filming started in July.  The guys had the ability to watch every episode of every show Clare was on, and trawl through her social media to find out all about her.

I'll join you at that table.

Dale sure had a smug s**t-eating grin on his face in that TH.

[dizzyd]

Oh hell no, she didn’t bring that stupid show up line again. They did show up, but you checked out bitch! Gave them nothing!

[CindyBee]

Poor Dale,  that look on his face when she said "I'm sooo in love with you".   He was just like "damn, I came on here for the instagram followers.  Now I'm stuck".

Same as she did for them.  She may not have talked to Dale, but she, for sure, looked up all the guys and picked out her favourites.

Except it doesn't appear that any of them did, especially that one dude she kicked out because he said she was beautiful.

[Kiss my mutt]

I’m so over the whole, “I swear on my dad’s grave, my kid’s life etc proclamations that are being uttered on these reality shows. I’m haven’t seen anything from Dale that makes him different than any other guy and he doesn’t come across as  particularly smart, deep or understanding. When he was comforting Claire last episode he just sounded pretty dull and generic. Their relationship is probably on its last leg as we speak.

Didn’t he, though?

 I’m at the point that I dislike them both for screwing up my escapist TV, so I hope she gets dumped HARD and Dale goes on his merry, douchey way.

Oh, nevermind. They ARE letting her check in with Dale first! Less drama, I guess!

[TiredMe]

I must be the odd one out hoping this works for her just so we never have to see her on any of these shows again. 

[SallyAlbright]

Eh, I hope it works out and Dale likes her as much as she likes him. If we're supposed to buy that the point of this whole charade is to find love, then she didn't really do anything wrong. She was just quite...efficient about it. Hope it works out for them although obviously the odds from this show aren't fantastic. 

We still "get" a season with Tayshia, so it's not like Clare ruined much. I'm pretty ambivalent about Tayshia, but that's not Clare's fault. 

[leighdear]

Love the dress.  She wears it well. 

I hope it works for them.  

[DEL901]

She is 39 and he is 31.   If she wants kids, they will have to start working on it right away.   I wonder what his position on a family is?   

[dizzyd]

Omg, she’s fricking Harry Potter!

[leighdear]

OMG, James & Lily are the names  of Harry Potter's parents. 

[saber5055]

Oh, snap, Harry Potter's parents are James and Lilly.

ETA. I'm late posting this revelation! Too funny.

If she is basing a relationship on the pain felt because of the loss of a parent, Clare could match up with 95 percent of the human race. Heck, I could be her soulmate.

Edited November 6, 2020 by saber5055

[DEL901]

Wow.  She is projecting her feelings on him.  

[CraftyHazel]

I’m bored.  I didn’t sign up for the Dale and Clare show, I want to move on from this.  If we get another 90 minutes of their “great love story”, I may lose my mind.

[JenE4]

We both have a dead parent and hitchhiker dads. We’re soulmates!

I started laughing thinking about his "position" while working on having kids.

[EllenB]

She's making Hannah look like a paragon of maturity.

I was just about to post the same thing.  Do we really need two hours of Clare and Dale?!   

I'd rather watch Kenny and company sit around and talk about boy band management.

[leighdear]

Clare is actually having some conversations with her guys that folks have been begging this show to let us hear for years. 

Not just the constant, repetitive "So crazy, I know, it's wild, I know, never thought this would happen, so crazy, I know, etc, etc, etc."

[Ripley68]

That dress is beautiful.  I still stand behind liking that she can make a cohesive sentence with no "likes" or "ums."  Dale.....not so much.  I'm not getting the goo goo over her vibe yet from him.

Come on now. There’s room enough for two trainwrecks in Bachelor Family.

Yeay! We're getting that now!

Did he actually say "ixnaying"???  Lord love a duck....

[clubsauce]

“Your dad hitchhiked??? MY dad hitchhiked!!!! MARRY ME!”

Just TWO? Come on now!

Haha. You got me, Saber! At least two per season!

[EllenB]

They sound like two fourteen-year-olds.  Blech.

[DEL901]

He is grinning, but it looks forced to me.  I am sure he is thinking, no more Taco modelling!  

[Ripley68]

Clare....:I am falling in love with you

Dale............oh shit

    I am falling in love with you through this process.. I"m here with an open heart..... - aren't these things all the contestants say?

[DEL901]

Chris and Bri!  Yeah!

[saber5055]

I've hitchhiked and have a dead parent. Heck, two dead parents. Clare, marry ME!

Dale really has dead eyes at times. He did when Clare was professing her love for him. Then it all clicked with him: "I'll be on Kimmel's show! Get millions of IG followers! My gym is going to rock! DWTS, here I come! Woo hoo!"

"Okay Clare, I guess I love you too."

Oh no, they're going to the Fantasy suite and CH hasn't given them the key yet. Yikes!
