S16.E12: Week 12

[peachmangosteen]

Quote

Tayshia is ready to take her relationships with Brendan, Ivan and Zac to the next level in the fantasy suites. One man, whom she saw a future with from the start, is suddenly anxious and reveals why to Tayshia. But nothing could prepare her for the bombshell surprise that rocks her world. Former Bachelorettes JoJo Fletcher and Rachel Lindsay lend Tayshia their support and advice at crucial times.

Airs December 21st.

I always *love* Chris Harrison’s voice over at this point in the show.... “or will she lose her chance at love forever?”

I mean, if she doesn’t get engaged on Tuesday’s show, she is doomed to be alone forever, right?

Did JoJo get a new face?

Yeah, I was just staring at it thinking the same thing. Didn't hear anything she said, just saw ... FACE.

Brendan does the Nick Viall "shrength" for "strength." That always made me wonder how Nick could make it as an actor with a speaking role.

[JenE4]

Harrison, spoiler alert! Save the “should you choose to forego your individual suites” speech until the note with the key to be read at dinner. Did they stop doing that? If so, when? Are we watching an evolution of Bachelor protocol in real time?

[dizzyd]

Huh, who knew I’d start liking Zac. They all seem like genuinely nice guys. Never felt that before. Hope it works out with whoever she picks. 

Ice bath kiss expert! 😂

The way Ivan was running to Tayshia, I thought he was going to jump on her for the proverbial bachelor handshake...

[Ripley68]

Oh god....please don't let the kiss be shown in real time.

I wish they wouldn't keep the men/women together when it gets to fantasy suite time; its just too weird

Who's Big Paulie?

[saber5055]

Ice bath? Oh, no thanks. NO WAY IN H.E.L.L. It's colder than frit in my house right now and I have no interest in even washing my hair at the moment. Hypothermia, anyone?

Which reminds me of a past season where the b-ettes did a polar plunge and the one b-ette faked hypothermia, was carried off by medics to her room, where the bach came to console her later.

[DEL901]

I miss Fred Willard.

"He was an orphan boy who was found on a glacier." --tm CH

[Ripley68]

She looks very relaxed, Ivan looks like he's hanging on for all he's got

[saber5055]

LOL, there's a camera in the bottom of Tayshia's horse trough so they can film Ivan feeling up her ass. Classy.

Ivan's robe has a ripped sleeve on top. Ha ha ha ... Cheap-ass hotel.

(At least it looks like a rip.)

[JenE4]

Who the hell is Big Paulie? This is not a Bachelor Nation favorite. I’m sorry to this man. But we do not know you. 
Sorry to this man gif

Four years ago in the throes of going thru the change, an ice bath would have been awesome (I probably would have melted the ice) 🤣 Now, just the thought it is makes me want to put on another sweater.

Stay classy bachelor franchise

It’s “Guard and Protect Your Heart” Kasey, who was left alone to die on a glacier by Ali?!

Video of the dramatic dumping

[saber5055]

LOL! That La Quinta uses skeleton keys for its rooms? Far out!

Oh ... it's an Airstream. Still, they don't use skeleton keys either. Oh well.

We all look older now ...

[saber5055]

Preview: "Knock  knock knock on Tayshia's door ..."

Tayshia: "It's the last person I expected to see. What the heck, Bennett!"

[DEL901]

Is “stay up all night with another guy” the new euphemism for “we did it 4 times in a windmill?”

[Ripley68]

They really had her fantasy dates back to back? At lest in other seasons there was 3 days between dates.  ick....I would not want to know everything they just found out from Ivan.

I like that T talked about what THEY talked about making it clear it wasn't just sex.  She stayed up all night with Ivan, and now she's going straight to Zac?  I hope she got a nap.

[saber5055]

I'm all in with Zac after that paint date.

[Thumper]

Just saw the end of Ivan, so don’t know about the date.  She sure seems into Zac, though.  I am very jealous about wearing a white swimsuit!  😂

[Crashcourse]

Zac seems like a nice, laid back guy but I do wonder how he is when he's angry or stressed.  It's like there's something boiling underneath and I wonder if he has to struggle to keep things under control.

That just made me spit out my drink!   LOL!!  She does look totally different.  Definitely new teeth? Botox? Lip injections?  Who knows what else. 

[JenE4]

I think Zac won me over. He and Tayshia seem well-suited for each other and have a good chemistry. They’d get my stamp of approval for the requisite 7-month engagement.

[DEL901]

Wow.  Neil Lane quarantined for this show?    He could have appeared virtually...

[alexa]

This is a horrible date....Neil Lane?  I think this is very insensitive of Tayisha.

[TheFinalRose]

It would have been better tv if they had gone ahead and installed a revolving door to the men's hangout. 

[saber5055]

Worst.Date.EVER: Spending the afternoon with Neil Lane checking out diamonds. Adios, Tayshia, I be gone now. Buh-bye.

[JenE4]

You can see the fear in Brendan’s eyes. 100% the mystery knock on the door is going to be Brendan saying he can’t get engaged to her.

[Ripley68]

Brendan looks like he's going to puke. The powers that be totally set him up because they know he's already freaking out.

[TiredMe]

They are so mean, screwing with Brendan like this. I bet they had something else planned and pulled Neil in early to mess with this dude. 

[thehepburn]

Neil lane is the perfect guy to creep someone out, lol. What is this date?

[DEL901]

Brendan looks much more handsome in the 3/4 profile rather than straight on.

And, yeah, he is starting to panic...he doesn’t want to make a mistake...he knows that these don’t always work out

[Stats Queen]

Am I the only one finding Neil Lane to be really creepy?

That'd be me too, saying BYE. Zac gets to roll around in paint and Brendan is forced to spend time looking at engatement rings? Total SUCKAGE. Even the ice-water horse trough date was better than this sick puppy of a "date." "That was no date, that was a nightmare." --tm Brendan

[alexa]

She wonders why there is a disconnect?  This date was nothing like the other dates....she sucks.

[EllenB]

That was the biggest deer in the headlights expression on Brendan's face. And it says something, maybe, that I'd forgotten his name, so I think he has slid since the beginning of the season.

[dizzyd]

 This whole episode has been boring and awkward except for the date with Zac. 

[LakeGal]

Brendan keeps swallowing.  I laugh every time.

I don't think the B'ette chooses those dates. It's all producer picks.

[TheFinalRose]

Tayisha also can't read the room as she is gushing and Brendan is sweating and looking for a puke bucket.  Brendan is looking as scared as Momma Barb Webber was when she thought Peter had proposed to Maddie.  

[alexa]

Twitter is all over this quick....same reactions as here about poor Brendan.  I like Brendan.  I am pissed off she ruined his date.

Yeah, I'm voting that way too. TPTB want to create drah-mah and screw with Brendan. They know something we don't know, but I'll bet we're gonna find out. So I'll speed it up: "Bye Brendan."

[Thumper]

Oh, man.  Nothin like pressuring Brendan.  The other guys didn’t have to do that?  
 

Makes me think that each contestant should do the same date.  He didn’t get the “fun” date like Zac did.

[alexa]

Well she is still an idiot to act like that was fun.

[DEL901]

She keeps smiling as he pours his heart out.....  grrr.  

[alexa]

Well at least he essentially dumped her, so that is good after what she pulled on him.  

[saber5055]

That was a horsesh*t thing for the show to do, and Tayshia is an even bigger POS for going along with it and rubbing it in. Read the room, beyotch. We could see what you were doing to Brendan and you didn't? Dumbass.

[DEL901]

She is crying...was he her #1?
