To everyone in the Bachelor/ette franchise: "Let's have a TOAST."   (not a Cheers)   "We are TOASTING "  (not Cheersing)  "HERE'S to love."  "Here's to good friends",  etc.   (Not cheer

I know that Zac has been sober for many years.  However, many addicts substitute healthier addictions.  He is intense, and if I were Tayshia, I might worry that he would become addicted to me, and dis

I would dump someone who thought a carnival date back home was a good date but it did perk up the usually sad-eyed Brendan.    I used to live in NYC and merely raising an arm is enough to get a c

Where are the icily polite, clearly annoyed family members like mine would be?   To this day I honestly have no idea how they felt about my ex husband.   I didn't even tell them I was getting a divorce until after I was divorced and they were coming for Thanksgiving and I thought they might notice he was missing.   

Okay, this made me burst out laughing. I woke up my dog. I thank you. (My dog does not.)

I think one thing she likes about Zac is that he lives in (or near) NYC.  And she has apparently said in the past that she has thought about moving to NYC.  Seems like a nice convenient choice because even if it doesn’t work out, she can still work on her “life and style” career from there.   Any idea where she lives now?

Oh, yes. I watch enough Love After Lockup to recognize prison tattoos. This is Ivan’s infamous brother.

I wonder if Gabriel is Ivan's half-brother: maybe from his father's first marriage?  They don't even look alike. But damn, those facial tattoos. He sure won't be working in an office. I wonder what he's doing now.

Mr. Riplet came up during Ivan's parents visit and until the bro walked in.  He was saying how his brain cells dropped in just those few moments.  I tried to explain to him that this particular group of men and the lead have actually been a nice change of pace because they are articulate, confident and have actual conversations that aren't filled with "likes" or just spending all the conversation time talking about how hot the other person is.  IT has been refreshing this season to hear these real conversations.

I loved T using her fingers to move Ivan's head over when he didn't see his brother walk in.  I think T was uncomfortable around Ivan's brother.  HEr body language is not as into Ivan as it was with Brendan and Zac.  I think she sees what a great guy Ivan is, but isn't as into him as the previous 2. She didn't look back at him at the end of the night the way she did with Brendan and Zac.  Not her final choice.

I sometimes wonder if the lead actually sends their 2nd choice home 3rd or 4th so they don't go through the embarassment and heart breakof the final rose ceremony.

I think I felt differently about Ivan's date than others. I felt like he took a leap with this date. Right now I'm leaning toward Zac and Ivan as final two. I noticed neither of Brendan and Ben's parents showing up. Brendan mentioned his dad passed but not mom, I don't think. And I thought Brendan's hometown was pretty lackluster. Ben feels like a bachelor candidate to me more than a choice for Tayshia.

I thought his choice of words was interesting and pretty elevated. I'd like to know more about him. He's rather well spoken, an oddity in this franchise. I found him interesting.

Post Malone has facial tats, as do a bunch of rappers. The tear drop is straight out of Oz though (prison tv show).

So Ivan is the only one who doesn't get The Handshake. Oh well. At least he isn't wearing a scoop neck on the skate date.

The way T gave the Bach handshake EXCEPT Ivan reminds me of how T told Ellen Degeneres that all 3 are grest kissers and didnt mention Ivan 😞

She couldn't in the jean short skirt.

I wondered if Ivan’s brother was a half sibling as well.  Who were they talking about had cancer and a heart attack and couldn’t be there on Ivan’s date? Why was his brother in jail? I may have to rewatch this part. 

Dad had cancer and a heart attack.

I found him interesting, too.  I noticed what looked like burn scars on the left side of his face.

I like Ben, I think he's a sweet guy and seems like a good person. But he also just seems so fragile and uneasy in his own skin and I wish he could have come on this show later. He makes me a bit uncomfortable at times because HE seems uncomfortable which I feel bad saying. His issues were all so recent that it worries me and I hope he's doing well.

I really cannot stand Ben's scoop neck shirt.  When he wears those, it reminds me of something...but I can't remember what.

The commercial where the guy not using the right detergent is responsible for his t-shirt's neck being all stretched out on his date. Should be wearing a polo or button down anyway in my opinion.

OMG!  I recognize his sister, I loved her on Top Chef.  I don't know, I kind of find it a little cringey that his sister needs to tell him that he loves T for him to realize it.  She's hair fidgeting, not a good sign. I need a long shot of them to see her body language.  If he can't say it in that moment, he doesn't love her!  ick...the neck grab to pull her back.  No look back again by T.  Not a top choice.

Is Ben a robot? I think what I’m feeling is happiness. I don’t know how to say the words. He’s visibly confused trying to compute Antonia telling him he’s in love. I feel a certain way. I’ve fallen [face freezes for 4 seconds with mouth agape] in love with her.

My daughter was just talking over their conversation. What did he actually end up saying to Tayshia?

No, it's not the date commercial with the wrinkly shirt.  It's somebody like Arnold Schwaregegar or something like that.

Ugh...And now Ben has to short of pants on.  And I don't like the way Brendan dresses either, though I understand what he's wearing tonight because I remember him wearing it before and T commenting on it.
