Oh yay. Just what we needed: another Black Beauty remake. Is dat the creepy child from Twilight?

Oh, and I would have picked Ivan too. He's a - dare I say it? - smokeshow.

[alexa]

The last thing I would want is feathers all over my bed.  Lol

No one who says smokeshow is here for the right reasons!!! 

[Kiss my mutt]

I love Ivan! That is all. 

[CraftyHazel]

I’d have chosen Ivan, too.  He’s quite easy on the eyes and seems very drama-free.

What a waste of ice cream!  The two of them could have bathed in that, it was so big.

[Ripley68]

NIce, convenient pillow with the stitches loosened so feathers fly everywhere.  I hope they producers aids ready to pick up all those feathers. 

That is  BIG bowl of ice cream.  I thought the date with the kids games was cute, but did they look like they were forcing it a little?

I really hope that future one on ones get a little more glamorous, and I hope that Tayshia gets some really cool perks to make up for the lack of travel.  Can't they go out into the desert to do stuff?  Sight see?  sky dive, ride ATV's, glamp?  I"m not sure what all is around there.

I thought the other black guy did a better job on his song.

Noone's gonna believe you. You have chicken legs 😛

[saber5055]

I guess that one-on-one date is SO MUCH FUN if you're in it, but watching? Not so much.

Now T is surprised Ivan is Filipino and says she's never met a Filipino before. What, because Ivan is Black? T, your dumbassery is showing.

That pillow had feathers falling out of it before she hit Ivan with it. Of course the "pillow fight" was all impromptu, and completely spontaneous it was.

[tennisgurl]

If Tayshia doesn't go with Ivan, can I get his number?

[JenE4]

A pillowcase of loose feathers? Meanwhile Ivan was whomping her back with a firm polyblend pillow. Oh, my god, look at that practically bathtub-sized sundae! I’m surprised they didn’t dive into that. Now that Ivan has broken out of his shell a bit with the fun and games, I hope they make a romantic connection after the commercial break. We’re all rooting for you, Ivan! You’ve even got us Wrong Reasons watchers Here for the Right Reasons!

I went into a diabetic coma just from looking at that ice cream sundae.

[tennisgurl]

Is this going to be another of these ridiculous "cause yourself great physical harm to prove my love" dates?

But he sang a bad word 😞

The word? JPJ 

[saber5055]

Riley is SO not thrilled to be on the group date. Ha ha.

What a difference a mustache makes. Noah went from creepy porn guy to somewhat good looking.

Bennett is still trolling the crowd. I hope he stays around a while.

[Kiss my mutt]

Bennett is getting testy. Noah, didn’t crash that last date. Chris asked if anyone would take shoulder injury dude’s place. Bennett could have volunteered but he probably felt it was beneath him and he’d get his butt whooped. 

[tennisgurl]

Well at least he is voluntarily giving his tragic backstory, not like certain people who basically force people to share all their most tragic memories on national television...

[Ripley68]

Ivan can talk coherently about current events!!!!  I"m kind of flummoxed by T's non/tearful response. Is there some dramatic backstory about someone being treated unfairly in her life?  I'm probably reading way too much in her non response to his question about how everything is affecting her.

[JenE4]

Ivan is a saint! Tayshia, get engaged to this man now! And then bring in a Hannah. Any Hannah. Or maybe a Lauren or somebody.

[saber5055]

Okay, now I'm getting myself some ice cream. Sad I don't have a tureen for it.

So Ivan articulately bares his soul and even talks about George Floyd, and T can't even say anything. Ivan, you need to move on and forget this girl. You are too good for her.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but she couldn't even muster up a sentence in support of BLM? WTH.

[thehepburn]

I think Ivan has a lot of depth. T is not in his league. But the producers are obviously making them talk about #BLM.

[EllenB]

Holy crap, an honest-to-God conversation on The Bachelorette? Most assuredly producer-driven, but still a giant leap into real-world  reality.

[Katie111]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone talk about current events on this show!  This is a first. 

[rebel2u]

Ivan, like, thinks, like, deep thoughts.

the show was under a lot of fire. Hence why we have a black Ette and The Bachelor this year.

Seriously? T is pulling the 'I am the only black girl in Orange County' card? Boofuckinghoo.

I thought it was odd that Tayshia didn’t get into the discussion. Maybe she doesn’t want to “go there” or she can’t relate or she’s just not particular thoughtful about current events. 
Yeah, Ivan is too good for her but I’m glad she’s seeing something special about him. 
Looking at her pictures of her as a kid, she looks like she had a nose job although it’s possible it’s changed naturally too. 

Edited November 25, 2020 by Kiss my mutt

[tennisgurl]

Honestly Ivan might be too good for this franchise, but I am glad that Tayshia at least seems to see that he seems like a great guy. 

I wonder how much that talk was just natural or how much was the producers asking them to bring BLM up? Ivan seemed very natural and that those are really his feelings, but I think I saw some hesitation from Tayshia to really get into it. Maybe something got edited, or she just didn't feel comfortable?

Or her part of the conversation got somewhat edited. From things Ivan was saying, it sounds like she did say more than was shown.

That’s possible, but I can only go off of what is shown on the show not what I don’t see. That goes for every scene otherwise every comment could be invalidated based on what “may have happened”.

Or she's just really shallow and doesn't have an opinion about or want to know about anything more serious than hair, makeup and clothes?

[thehepburn]

Such a contrast to her 1on1 with Brendan. She was - Brendan is my person! - while with Ivan, she is like - Ivan is the type of person I should be with but he doesnt have a bullshit job like my person Brendan. Told ya she has a shitty picker.

[tennisgurl]

A wild Becca appears! 

[Kiss my mutt]

The Bachelorette: Fear Factor edition. 
The ice cream isn’t sounding so good right now. 

[thehepburn]

Needless to say, I am Team Harvard-ArizonaState (Dewar + Bennett)

[tennisgurl]

The mating call of the honey badger! 

[thehepburn]

i hope harrison washed his hands after signing the butt.

[Kiss my mutt]

I think Blake just came. 

[JenE4]

Cow-intestine smoothie?! Oh, hell, no! I’ll die forever alone, thank you very much! The rest of these challenges are hilarious, though! Harrison eating his crab legs while Demar kindly asked for an autograph was classic.

[saber5055]

I really, really think I am too old for this franchise now, as of this season, as of this episode.

[EllenB]

With a few very minor exceptions, this is the most enjoyable bunch of guys I've ever seen on this show.

[tennisgurl]

Time for every Bachelor/ettes favorite portion of the episode, the ceremonial ass kissing! "Your the best most wonderful awesome person ever I would be lucky to just get to park your car your funny and smart and the hottest hottie who ever hotted and..."

It's only fair that Tayisha drinks a smoothie too, to prove SHE is worthy of one of the bachelors. AND do the phone orgasm, just so any of the guys can leave now to just escape. And don't forget your habanero, Tayisha. Let's see what YOU are made of.

I hate Fear Factor Bachelor.

Oh, she's with Bennett! I'm back. For now anyway!

[Ripley68]

Did I blink, or did Bennet not answer who called off the wedding?

Now Zac didn't answer what he's afraid of in marriage.  I'm crushing on Demar. He gives nice, coherent answers.  Yay!She's give reasons to a couple of the guys.  I really like that.

Nope, classic evasive answer.

The scene of Chris with his damn crab legs and champagne was hilarious. I laughed so hard. My favorite moment this season...yea I’m easy. Lol

He did say that his rents were pissed at him so sounds like it was him.

[JenE4]

It sounded like he called it off because of baggage from his parents’ bad marriage.

[saber5055]

Oh, great, so my antenna chooses to cut out during Bennett's screen time.

But I did hear this, and sorry Bennett, you are NOT getting the group-date rose. You will be lucky to get one at the RC, babe.

He just needed a bathrobe and a mimosa. I’m loving it!

[tennisgurl]

Can I get that imagine of Chris with his lobster and champagne on the background for my phone please? I am dying.
