[DEL901]

Oh, god.  If I were James, I wouldn’t give any of these women a rose.  On the other hand, doesn’t 5hat leave just Demi and G. Victoria?

[saber5055]

Is Victoria P the former Queen Victoria? I'm not paying all that much attention.

No, that’s Victoria L.  

[dizzyd]

VP reminds me of Ashley I down to the crying and crazy eyebrows.

[saber5055]

When I read here Kelsey is on this season, I thought you guys meant Kelsey Poge or however her last name is spelled. THAT would have been more fun that this Kelsey.

If there is no rose ceremony in this episode, I will not be happy.

For some reason this season seems stupider than previous ones (if that's possible).  Not sure I can watch much more of this.

I'm with you. Not sure this will be calling my name tomorrow night. "Stupid" is the perfect adjective.

The other Victoria is ALSO here. I don’t remember this one, either. I do remember Tammy fighting with people, so I’m not entirely convinced that this Victoria was a manipulative bully then (though she may be NOW) just because I don’t think Tammy was very Right Reasons herself.

[dizzyd]

Damn does VP leaving give Demi life!!!

[DEL901]

So, did Victoria P just confess in the limo?

[JenE4]

VP says “I don’t have to search for what I already have at home.” So she DOES have a boyfriend!! Guilty as charged. 

[saber5055]

Finally, a RC. Let's get this pain over with.

And Wells announces the RC? Where's David?

[tennisgurl]

If there was any logic in this show, at least three people would run off with David Spade. 

[Crashcourse]

I think David Spade was glad to leave this sweaty shit show, and like he said, he got paid!

He got the hell outta Dodge.

[saber5055]

Ack, Wells is no longer being shown calling names and I don't know who these dudes are!

[dizzyd]

Kelsey forgot her milk of magnesia, sorry magnesium 

[tennisgurl]

Kelsey really working on that Emmy reel. 

[saber5055]

What was up with that hand over the camera? Great editing show.

James: Demi, will you accept this rose?

Demi: Hell yeah, I'd take a rose from a sand crab at this point, I'm desperate.

Edited August 24, 2021 by saber5055

[DEL901]

She will dump him as soon as someone new comes along…but I guess who was he going to pick?  Tattletale 1? Tattletale 2?   Sourpuss Victoria?

[dizzyd]

Thanks for the Spade reel to end this! 🥰

[Crashcourse]

David Spade in the limo cracked me up! 😅

[tennisgurl]

No David don't leave us! His ending bit was legit funny!

At least Victoria is gone, no surprise there. None of the guys would want to be attached to her unless a producer had a literally gun on them offscreen. 

[Suzysite]

I'm gonna make them say happy birthday to me for 9 bucks. Ha!  

[Stats Queen]

Tired of the producers inflicting Demi on us. 

Did David Spade not understand his job description? Why was Wells doing the rose ceremony?

Are they rotating “hosts”?

I like Wells and I think he would be a good host for The Bacehlor.

Wells is doing all the rose ceremonies.  It was announced a few weeks ago.  And yes, rotating hosts.  

[leocadia]

Dear Show: Please stop trying to sell me on the idea that your most bestest favorite Demi is "hot".  No matter how many times she says it, you have the guys say it, you have the girls say it...I'm not buying it.  Physically, she is cute at best and then you add her personality and vocal fry and she gets less attractive by the minute.   Fake news.

I can’t remember her either - and she looks very distinct so it’s strange. I can usually remember people from recent seasons - I also remember Tammy and her pot stirring but VP doesn’t look at all familiar. Though she looks like she has a shit ton of filler, collagen and cheek/chin implants so maybe she is barely recognizable from before - I was trying to find a pic from her season to compare.

[RealHousewife]

Kenny looks great in clothes. 

[tinkerbell]

Demi, with the world's most pronounced vocal fry,  gets pissed at a guy who goes on a date with her, when he is interested (she calls it "obsessed,'  based on no evidence)  in someone else.   This is the same Demi who came on last season, flirted and made out with a bunch of guys, only to bring on her GIRLFRIEND and then leave with her.   how does she get to call Brendan out for dating someone else?  She is the most entitled person ever on this show.  

[One4Sorrow2TooBad]

Why isn't Demi making tons of money in porn?????

Run James run far! Victoria P is crazy and manipulative (which applies to 1/2 of them) and she can’t even remember his name. 

James always makes me think Jay Gatsby. 

Haha I always call him Gatsby!

[Arkay]

I either don’t remember Victoria P. or just don’t recognize her. What kind of face is that? She had that gruesome Joker smile and a totally contorted look. 
James’ style is not to my taste, but he seems intelligent and I’m sorry he was suckered in by that faker. That was a nasty twisted  grin when she admitted she had someone at home.

Personally I think all Bachelor Nation shows should place a moratorium on all aspiring country singers or country singer-adjacent contestants. No good  has come of it thus far!

 

[tinkerbell]

Is Victoria L  wearing nothing but a see-through dress?

100%!  Heaven forbid the precious Demi gets cut at the first ceremony.  I can't believe she had the nerve to call anyone else "desperate" when she was the most desperate of them all.  

Tammy needs to mind her own business.   Both here and on her season she seemed way more interested in what the other girls were doing wrong and less about that "love finding" that only the people she approves of deserve.  Not that I think anyone deserves him, I was hoping Serena C's last ditch attempt to sway Aaron would get Tammy sent home.  Maybe Thomas will go for Tammy just to screw with him.

[RealHousewife]

It's so crazy to me that these girls expect a guy to be all about them after a few hours or a date, but then they're okay when a Bachelor or Bachelorette sleeps with multiple people back to back. 

[chocolatine]

Watching Demi is like watching a Skipper doll audition for a porn movie and then cry when she doesn't get the part. Disturbing.

The reason why nobody is recognizing Victoria P is because she's had some really bad work done since Peter's season. Back then she got into a fight with Alayah where each accused the other of lying to Peter. She tried to convince him that "[her] truth" was *the* truth.

I'm pretty sure it had a flesh-toned lining (that seems to be an unflattering trend in "sexy" dresses these days), or else the show would have black-barred her entire body.

I'd take David Spade in a heart beat! I'm 4'11" so I'd make him feel tall and I'm a jaded spinster with a dark sense of humor!  I don't even want his money- take me to Denny's and call me pretty, David 😄

I wanted ONE THING from BiP this season, and i'm not going to get it: Queen Victoria being psychotic while a clearly smitten Bennett sits with her and explains how she is deficient in several of the core competencies of emotional intelligence. Then he says he wants to love her up.

Now she's gone and he isn't even THERE. This is the lamest timeline. :(

Yes - this is what I assumed to be the case. I found pics of her from Peter’s season - she was stunning! And I remember thinking she was shady about the Alayah thing. I can’t believe that is her - she was really quite beautiful and didn’t need work done - ugh why do these women ruin their faces?

as i said before..Kaitlynn number 2. sad :(

[jackjill89]

Two favorite things:

James calling Demi "fun sized" -- I don't care for Demi but that made me smile

and David Spade's limo ride.

They really need to stop trying to make Demi happen.

Demi hasn't figured out that windows close.  Either physical windows or windows of fame.

That's sort of the point, Demi!  Go live your life!

[legxleg]

I think Brenden is trying to give/get roses while keeping his options open so he can switch over to Piper when she shows up without looking like an asshole, and I don’t think it will work out the way he wants. But Demi particularly has no grounds to be upset about it because she did the exact same thing with her girlfriend last season. Seriously, how is it different? I imagine a lot of people have some kind of relationship with one another before they get here, and sometimes it’s fine but sometimes it’s a cardinal sin. It just depends on how production/the others want to play it.

..the producers gave her the names of the guys who already hooked up and had her ONLY talk to them just to stir up the drama.

Her intro scene in the credits is her literally stirring a pot. Producers aren't even trying to hide her purpose for being there.

I don't like her, but I can't completely fault her for getting paid to have a free, all inclusive, vacation. I hope she socks her money away, because this fame will not last. She's not a good actress, her personality sucks, and she doesn't seem to have the skills for a real job when her fame whore money runs out. I'm sure there will be a "has-been of reality TV" show she will appear on one day.

[thejuicer]

Victoria P. looks so distractingly different (in a bad way) since her season on The Bachelor. She should have stopped several procedures ago. Poor girl, she looks like she's aged 15 years. She also referred to therapy a lot, and to herself as "VP" twice. I hope she stays far away from reality TV for a while (or forever). 

[seacliffsal]

I was stunned by how many women felt that after 1 or 2 days on the beach that they could have sole claim on the men of their choice.  Was so glad Victoria left-she apparently used the time between the Bachelor and this show to change her appearance a bit and to try to "upgrade" her persona.  I really was hoping that both she and Demi would be shown the door.  I  agree with others that the producers had Jason choose her.  She is assured of more time as the women will next give out roses.  

I think I have an unpopular opinion in that I don't think Wells adds anything to these shows.  He had a distinct lack of charisma when he announced the roses.  Along with Demi, I think the producers are trying to make Wells happen.

I am sad that David Spade will no longer host.  The only laughs I had last week and last night were thanks to him.  

Oh, and I pretty much always need the contestants' names to be shown (stop the once and done!).

James.  LOL!  It’s the Victoria P. effect. (I bolded Jason)

When Natasha was asking Brendan why he wouldn’t just date Pieper in the real world instead of going on the show, I really wanted him to be honest and say because of the money and clout potential.  Duh.

I hate Demi’s voice and I don’t remember it being that grating.  I actually went to her IG and pulled up old saved videos and she’s totally using a fake voice in her ITMs.  Why I don’t know.  

[JudyObscure]

We heard Demi's voice before she walked in and I honestly thought it was one of the parrots.  

I was sorry to see Victoria L go, even though it was fun watching the limo door hit her in the green see-through behind.  Her awkwardness and horrific clothes are always entertaining to me.

[seacliffsal]

Oops!  I apologize for the Jason/James snafu, but I heard his name so many different ways in the episode and was too lazy (I admit it) to look it up... So, yes, it was the Victoria P syndrome for which I hope I have a quick recovery.
