S16.E10: Week 10/The Men Tell All

[peachmangosteen]

Quote

Tayshia agonizes over which of the men's families to meet for hometown dates, and Bennett's bombshell return adds even more pressure to examine her emotions. Hoping to gain some clarity, Tayshia takes Blake to a crystal guru to have their crystals and chakras read. Overcome with emotion, she makes some gut-wrenching decisions about her remaining men, which reaches a turning point at a high-stakes cocktail party and rose ceremony.

Airs Monday, December 14th.

Glad to see CH. I thought he was suppose to be gone longer. Bye Jojo.

CH: "Where's Bennett?"

Like you don't know.

[thehepburn]

Book on Emotional Intelligence >>>> Emily Griffin.  Boooo.

[DEL901]

These new ages dates.... I always wonder if the Bachelor/ette have any input.    I don’t want to disrespect others beliefs, but I would have laughed so hard when the lady started talking about crystals and shakras and such.  Not my cup of tea.  

[JenE4]

Ah, the requisite guru date. Alas, Tayshia thinks Blake’s chakras are out of alignment and all the communication crystals in the world won’t get you on hometowns.

[saber5055]

Sitting on laps, facing each other, inches away ... "Breathe deeply, exhale." I sure hope they both did the breath-mint thing before.

This date is SO BORING but at least they walked out of the resort proper for the first time. And of course, Blake  is all "We're so connected now!" and Tayshia is all "This dude isn't for me. Bye ... what was your name again? Oh yeah, Blake. See ya."

[thehepburn]

as Nietzche once said - when you look into the abyss, sex-straved Blake looks back at you.

[saber5055]

Wow, Blake sweated right through the back of his shirt. Hope that limo has the air on.

[DEL901]

Tayshia soooooooo wasn’t feeling Blake.   I guess he didn’t have enough of a dramatic backstory.   

[Crashcourse]

They both were bored to death.  

[DEL901]

And who was it that said, it is just my opinion, but I think Blake will either get a rose or get sent home, LOL.   I guess he isn’t a fan.  

[JenE4]

Oh, no! Tayshia has multiple crystal rings on. What if the energies of those crystals impacted the energies of the other crystals and she accidentally sent her soul mate home? Lol

[Ripley68]

I don't get why she is so upset sending Blake home.  I don't think I ever saw them exchange more than 2 sentences.  I couldn't do that type of thing other. One of the rules Mr. Riplet and I gave our wedding photographers was "no pictures staring into each other eyes!"  I've never done that and felt comfortable.  I would have just cracked up laughing.

The only 2 who looked genuinely concerned about her were Zac and Brendon

[Crashcourse]

She's wearing a bra!

[tennisgurl]

That was inevitable, she was never all that into Blake. Nor did she apparently like what she saw in his soul. 

[Crashcourse]

I love Riley.  He, basically, and in the nicest way possible, told Tayshia to fuck off.

[saber5055]

Did she ever give out the group-date rose from last week?

She is so full of BS, BS-ing Riley. Just freaking say BYE and get it over with. "I don't want to hurt you" is so stupid to say.

Riley didn't get to tell Tayshia how he truly felt, but Riley, that doesn't matter. Tayshia does.not.care.

Bye.

[Crashcourse]

Oh stop crying if you were that butt hurt you would have kept him.

[EllenB]

I think that even with the guys she's not into romantically, she's grown fond of them in a good friend way.  You can tell the difference with the ones she's sent home previously and this bunch.

[TheFinalRose]

Gosh, at the beginning of the Tayisha/Blake date I thought they'd wandered onto the set of Midsommar, and that if Blake didn't get the rose it wouldn't be a limo out of there ... he'd have to climb up to the top of the cliff and you know what.

I know, right? We know this because she doesn't know how to tuck the straps so we can't see them. Wish she had one on during that crystal-reading fiasco. That would have kept me from staring at her boobs that were sitting on her lap. (While she was sitting on Blake's.)

[Kiss my mutt]

Riley being sent home was a big shocker, said no one, ever. 🙄

[JenE4]

This is like layoffs at work. “The boss” pulls you aside and you know it’s bad news. Two down. Who’s next? Probably Ivan. Thank you for your service, Riley. Best of luck in your next endeavor.

[tennisgurl]

So she gets rid of Riley, and she wouldn’t even give him a reason, just that I guess she wasn’t feeling it. Which is fine I guess, but then stop dragging your feet! Unlike Blake though, I do think she felt bad about sending Riley home, but then I’m not sure why exactly she even sent him home in the first place.

Because the show doesn't let her keep them all?

[saber5055]

I'd send home all the guys not wearing socks with their suit and dress shoes.

[JenE4]

There’s a rose ceremony NOW?!? Why the hell did she pull Riley aside just to send him home when she could have waited 2 hours!?!

[tennisgurl]

The show needs to stop letting contestants who have already been sent home back onto the set, its just unfair to the other people still there. The rules might be stupid, but they do exist! 

The guys are questioning the sheer logistics of Bennet coming back, like they're worried he hasn't quarantined.

...because she had to reduce the number of guys so everyone could focus on the Bennett drama.

Ask the producers. They're the ones who told her to do that.

Any bets on who gets the HT roses? I do really want to meet Bennett's parents.

It was drah-mad-dic the first time it was done, seasons ago. But now it's kinda expected, like the bachelors sneaking off to the b-ette's room under cover of night (and with cameras waiting everywhere). Bennett is this season's Bukowski, that's all.

As annoyed as I am by Bennet trying to weasel his way back in, I am legit curious about the people who brought Bennet into this world. A part of me wants them to basically be the Howell's from Gilligan's Island, and a part of me wants them to be the Clampetts from Beverley Hillbillies instead. 

[Ripley68]

I think she sent Riley home because she really did care for him and didn't want to put him through the rose ceremony knowing he wasn't going to get one. l

[saber5055]

Of course TPTB have Bennett standing next to Noah.

OMG, Tayshia's boobs are almost in her belt. Yikes, girl. Not a good look. I know they make bras for dresses like that.

[Katie111]

Does she have a stylist at all?  Her outfits are awful.  On the rare occasion she wear a bra, the straps are always hanging out.  She looks like she ran through H & M on a wild shopping spree before she arrived.  Everything she wears just looks cheaply made and ill-fitting.  And her heels just look silly when they are stuck in this cobblestone resort the whole time. 

[saber5055]

Thank goodness CH is back to announce that final rose. We missed you buddy.

[tennisgurl]

Ah Harrison I missed you you old son of a bitch. 

[saber5055]

Bennett + Noah = BIP 2021

Blake was trying his best not to look down.

[tennisgurl]

Alright Tay my previous annoyance is slipping away, I am SO glad that she tossed both Bennet and Noah, neither of them ended up coming off great in their stupid petty feud, nobody needs that drama. Bye Bye! Yeah, is it finally gonna stick this time for Bennet, or will he manage to show up again in time for the finale rose?

[saber5055]

Oh, no, it's TMTA. I don't know if I'm up for the Noah/Bennett Fight Round 32.

I have no interest in meeting any of these guys' families. I hope one or two have a tatted up brother who's stoned/drunk and makes Tayshia cry by telling her "the truth."

Yosef? Wasn't he kicked off by Clare?

Oh, so NOW everyone is socially distanced for TMTA.

[tennisgurl]

Bennet really has a complex about the whole "Harvard asshole" thing he has going on. He leans into it but he seems like he is also really sensitive about people thinking the worst of him about it. 

But don't worry Bennet, I don't judge you for your Patrick Bateman style, I judge you for being a prick with no emotional intelligence. 

[JenE4]

Seriously, the men won’t be telling all—or even anything—to Clare? I’m sure they have a lot to say to her!

[dizzyd]

Covid really hit the sock industry bad!

I just want to see the men talk to Clare, now THAT would be some spilled tea!

Clare who?

[saber5055]

Who here remembers Chasen, raise your hand.

Yeah, me neither. Why are they fighting over some dude that isn't even there.

Yeah, she’s getting off easy!

[JenE4]

I feel like they’re split into teams one side of the room vs the other. Team stage left are even all festooned in their team color, maroon.

Correction, that's "Harvard D-Bag." —TM Bennett

[EllenB]

Shut up, Bennett. Just STFU. I kind of have to agree with Noah.
