S25.E04: Week 4

[EllenB]

How could four new women showing up be "triggering"? Puh-leeze. That has become the most misused, abused, and overused word in a fairly short time.

[saber5055]

Well thanks, previews, for letting everyone know QV stays another week. *sigh*

Looking forward to finding out which one is the hooker, because she'll instantly go to the top of my fav list.

[DEL901]

I like Michelle.   She seems genuine.   

This is a tough rose ceremony for Matt.  How does he send home someone he just met...but sending home a “vet” over a Newby (excluding Victoria) will cause hard feelings too.  

[JenE4]

They’re still doing the rose ceremony!?!? Ok, now I understand why the old timers are freaking the hell out! I would have assumed they’d have a freebie week and another round of dates to give Matt a chance to get to know the new girls. The only way this makes sense is if there truly was a whole host of girls he knows there’s no spark with.

Annnnd... that's why they added the Gang of Four when they did. Production is all about humiliating the lead the last several seasons.

I just love Chris right now for pulling the interruption card on the Queen! I’d been hitting the mute button every time she talked and he saved that wasted time.

I think it was written into Matt’s contract that if he’s required to keep Victoria for a certain number of weeks, Chris has to make certain they never make out.

Victoria is so .... I think she has no EQ.   She doesn’t get what is wrong with her behaviour.   A conscious, self-aware troublemaker can be fun.  But Victoria is just pathetic.  

It’s almost as if she’s on the spectrum. Like Aspergers. 

[DEL901]

I think they just want to drag the season out since scripted shows are in short supply.  

[bosawks]

Weeping while saying “I refuse to let this get the better of me” seems a little contradictory. 

[tennisgurl]

Every time Matt gives Victoria a rose, you can almost see him looking at a producer offscreen, who is dramatically nodding their head while cackling and stroking a cat. 

Honestly this seems like a crappy situation for everyone. This is bad form.

I think they quarantined a lot of women, just in case of a corona outbreak mid-show. When Sarah left and Matt was downcast, maybe he said he's afraid it won't work out and they thought heck, let's roll out the captives.  

[clubsauce]

Don’t the pageant women anchor those crowns with like 20 bobby pins? QV pulled it right out so easily. TOO easily. I’m suspicious...

[saber5055]

Yay. I was rooting for the PR Real Queen to get the FR.

I don't know who any of the women leaving are. But now I know it's Anna who can't fit her teeth inside her lips. And when she does, she looks just like Grumpy Cat. Man, her face would get old but quick IRL. Because it already has on this show.

[JenE4]

What the hell is that one new girl wearing with the tropical bikini sarong look with extra material wrapped around the middle of her arms?! Girl thought she was going on Bachelor in Paradise. Meanwhile Victoria is wearing a freaking faux fur jacket like she’s a January bride. I’m all discombobulated on the seasons. I assume this was filmed in the fall based on the leaves changing in the outdoor scenes. Neither of these outfits are appropriate. Ok, I got so worked up about these outfits, that I missed who went home.

It reminds me of Rudy Ghouliani's ill-fitting dentures.

Does anyone else think he looks like a perv when he's bending down to embrace the shorter women?

I agree. I’ll give him some leeway because he is really tall and maybe it’s because of his inexperience with women. But his expressions and/or lack thereof are quite disconcerting in general.
That being said, my husband is 6’2” and I’m 5’1” and it was awkward for a while, but he never looked like a perv. At our wedding when we were supposed to kiss, the priest had to tell him “bend your knees”.

We’ve been married just over 25 years and my friend said “you are becoming one person”. I said “so we’re 5’8” now?”

She’s just gorgeous. Girl next door type. 

[GracieK]

Ok I’m dating myself here but Anna reminds me of Melanie Hutsell from SNL

 

she also looks and sounds just like a Lifetime actress who is kind of odd and quirky and does a lot of Lifetime movies - but since they all run together I can’t think of the name of a single one to look her up to show you guys who I mean. 

 

[dizzyd]

Another stupid pugilistic date 🤮 But maybe QV can be punched in the face. Oh that’s not this date. I actually like this one.

I thought i'd get used to it over time, but Anna still freaks me the hell out. 

Her personality isn't helping

I wonder what she thinks watching herself. It’s really bad looking. Maybe she’ll hightail it to a dentist!

[DEL901]

Why is Ben giving advice?  Only Sean is qualified.  
 

eta, is Ben’s hair thicker?  A rug or is it that spray on hair?

Edited January 26, 2021 by DEL901

[EllenB]

Did they bring in Boring Ben to make Matt look more exciting in comparison?

[Adeejay]

Ben Higgins should be the last one to give advice.  After all, this was the same doofus who told two women he loved them.  A definite no-no.

[JenE4]

Oh. Em. Gee. I’m mortified for them.

[nutty1]

That actually looks fun!

[GracieK]

Matt couldn’t even keep a straight face listening to Ben’s “advice”

[tennisgurl]

I know that they cant have a lot of their big fancy dates now, but why does every date this season seem like an episode of Double Dare?

I think Anna bears a striking resemblance to a young Jessica Lange.

I also came here to say that she has a “looks like she smelled a fart” face every time they show her 🤣

[TheFinalRose]

I want Ben Higgins' input? HAHAHA. The guy has nothing to offer as he didn't stick with Lauren! Even in the middle of the pandemic, he has to worm his way onto the show.  

[FlyingEgret]

Pumpkin kayaking looks awesome!

[JenE4]

Is someone going to rescue that poor girl paddling in circles in the pumpkin?! Haha. I started typing this before they showed her. I figured they’d leave her there!

[Lacy4u]

Oh wow. I thought the rose ceremony was the end of the show until I kept hearing the notifications from all the continued conversations. LOL. Let me turn my tv back on...

[saber5055]

I say to the chick who freaking can't use a paddle: "Let me walk you out." She's gone baby gone in my world. Stupid ass.

Better yet, I'd just leave her in the middle of the pond and put her suitcase by the back door. Let a PA walk her out.

You better stay. There may be a big hooker reveal. I’m cheering for the working girl.

I hope this works, but she reminds me of this girl from Juno.

I am watching on my computer and my husband is playing on his tablet - I said out loud are they just going to leave her there? He’s like what are you talking about? I said one of the girls can’t even figure out how to kayak her pumpkin across this lake and... never mind. Saying it out loud makes me seriously question my entertainment choices. 

[Lacy4u]

Oh wait, it is over for me. The news is on now. Hmmm, that's weird. I guess I'll have to watch online tomorrow what y'all are reacting to & commenting on now. This sucks!

[stefinny]

Anna annoys me but I like that she told Brittany to give her five minutes.  Not that it helped

 

[Stats Queen]

I’m behind, seeing the end of the rose ceremony. Matt’s not just dull, he is easily manipulated and sent a couple of amazing women home. Which is good for them because he is just so dull and I don’t think he would be intellectually compatible or challenging as a spouse or significant other.

[Dehumidifier]

Victoria just said Brittany lacks class. Like they say, it takes one to know one.

[tennisgurl]

Victoria accusing someone of being low class is almost as ridiculous as her complaining about Sara being desperate for attention. 

[EllenB]

TWO suck-a-fart faces dishing the dirt together!

[TheFinalRose]

"It's a lot" is the new catch phrase here.  Everyone keeps saying it. And Anna is going to have to go to face expression therapy after she sees herself on tv making a stink face all the time. 

[Adeejay]

Chicago is a large city.  And, coincidentally, Anna knows Brittany.  What are the odds?

This made me laugh so hard because Monday nights in this thread is the best thing in my life. So just imagine MY entertainment choices!

I wish I had started counting Matt's "I love thats." I'm already too far behind. I will next week, promise.

He really likes those turtlenecks.
