I am, I am!  And proud of it!

Ohhhhh, you mean on the show🙂

[DEL901]

Nothing like dressing to impress on your first date. 

[Kiss my mutt]

 That blonde mop top has to go. He looks douchey with it like he’s an aged out boy band wanna be. 
Did Michelle get colored contacts? They look more vivid than in Matt’s season. 

[JenE4]

Jeez, dive for cover, Martin!

I’m trying real hard to determine whether Martin would be good looking with different hair. I think he might, but the hair is so difficult to ignore that I can’t definitively tell.

 

[alexa]

I think Kaitlyn just gets odder and odder looking.  Is she trying to look older, as in 20 years older than her age?  I know it gets brought up a lot, but she was so cute and pretty.  It is such a shame she didn't embrace her real face :-(

 

[Riplet68]

My son went to this driving school in July. He loved it

[JenE4]

I’m sorry. They’re trying to lose control of the car on purpose—while they’re both careening about at the same time?! They have a lot of dangerous dates, but this is ridiculous. 

[DEL901]

Started well, but Martin is blowing it big time. 

[JenE4]

Martin’s not going to take any sides—but he’s going to take Jamie’s side. Bad move, dude. Michelle is recoiling from him in this tub.

[dizzyd]

I liked the conversation between Casey, Joe and Romeo. And I was so happy I knew all 3 of their names!

First, Martin keeps his hairstyle for the date. Second, he forgot half his shirt, and Third, he brought up Jamie on his one on one date and by inference, Michelle’s judgment.

 

[DEL901]

Has Michelle smiled at all on this date other than in the car?

[Lamb18]

She just smiled!

Here's the boy cluster waiting for the date card.

They all look so disappointed as they hear their name.

[Riplet68]

The skid pad is one at a time, there is a track close by it that might have given the impression they were in same track.  BMW would NOT, let them be on it at same time.

Brandon looks like he’ll be the one who can’t handle not having a one on one.  I like Naytes attitude, he didn’t sound cocky, he sounded confident.  
 

Martin and Michelle keep good eye contact, but I can’t see them having too deep a connection.

[DEL901]

Risky Business guy seemed to be a good sport with a sense of fun. 

[dizzyd]

Best date ever!!!

[JenE4]

Ok, the Risky Business guy made me chuckle.

Slumber party?! Ok, this is much better than the Pillow Fight to the Death, as I assumed.

There’s a Build-A-Bear machine?!? Yeah, there’s too much fun stuff for anyone to care about stealing Michelle for a chat.

[DEL901]

Now they have ruined the vibe.  The guys were having fun  

 

[JenE4]

I spoke too soon! Of course it’s a Teddy Bear Takedown to the Death! The bros just wanted to play some Duck, Duck, Goose!

I think he would very cute as he has a great smile 

[dizzyd]

Ok this date definitely took an ugly turn. 🤦🏻‍♀️I don’t know why they insist on these competition dates? They aren’t entertaining to me but I guess I’m in the minority because wwe is very popular. Michelle is right, it takes away from time with the lead. Although these guys were ignoring her even before it became a competition.

[JenE4]

Every time they show that traveling nurse recruiter, I wonder whether he’s a traveling-nurse recruiter or a traveling nurse-recruiter. Who travels: him or the nurses? I guess it makes more sense that he’s a traveling-nurse recruiter who recruits nurses to travel where needed rather than a traveling nurse-recruiter wherein he scours the countryside for nurses. Okay, I missed all of the teddy bear fights contemplating this.

I wish she would go to one of those “ botched” drs and fix it . She my think this is fabulous. I guess as long as she feels good about it, thats half the battle . Fyi tonites episode is very boring , first one where michelle annoyed me with her boohoos.

 

[Dottie D]

Ooh, is the after party going to be canceled just ike the cocktail parties?!

Edited November 10, 2021 by Dottie D
Typo

[DEL901]

On one hand, I feel bad for Michelle, but on the other hand….why is she just standing there?  Pretty much any other Bachelorette would have jumped into the centre of the celebration, maybe with her own Teddy Bear.  

[Lamb18]

This teddy bear fight-off is great. Now I'm imagining what football would be like if they played with teddy bears instead of footballs. Hard to make a 50-yard field goal, I imagine.

You couldn't do basketball unless you had bouncing teddy bears.

Or Michelle just won’t show up to it and no one will notice because they’re playing their epic Duck, Duck, Goose game?

[DEL901]

The guys were trying to be good sports at first…I’m sure a group slumber party wasn’t their idea of fun.   Then when they had the contest, they were on teams and it is normal to celebrate with your team.  

Michelle has to demand to be seen, and not fade into the background.  Why wasn’t she up cheering during the teddy fights?

[Riplet68]

Nayte finally sounds coherent.  All the other episodes he came off sounding like an idiot.

I agree, why didn’t she just jump in?  I get that she’s wanting to be “seen”, but still.

[nlkm9]

Shades of deanna when the guys are having nore fun with each other . The smart guy would have tried to steal her away , perhaos noone in that room is really interested !!

[dizzyd]

No one should get the 🌹 

[JenE4]

Olu is my new favorite! 👏♥️👏♥️👏♥️ 

[DEL901]

I feel for Michelle.   I am starting to wonder if this is the right opportunity for her.  She clearly has some trauma to deal with and work through.  She is a smart, beautiful, kind woman, chosen to be the lead, but she holds back like the overlooked teen she was.   Maybe national television might not be the best place for her to work out her issues.  

[Lamb18]

I suppose Michelle and Rick will have a head of lettuce for dinner.

[SallyAlbright]

I liked Nayte's simple "I'm sorry for making you feel that way." He obviously didn't mean to hurt her (I don't think any of them did), but that felt sincere. 

Olu is sweet and Clayton seems nice too. She actually has a decent group of guys. I still have a crush on Romeo despite knowing nothing about him! 

[JenE4]

Hmm. This seems a little suspect that all of these previous wishes relate to their own traumas? If the next one were “I wish to be seen” then for sure it would prove to be a setup.

Soooo true. Most guys on this show are ruined as soon as they open their mouths! 😂

why is dude whispering?

[JenE4]

Oh, jeez, Rick. Sooo not your fault!!

Falling in love?!? This man’s emotions are all over the place!

None of this sounds healthy.

[dizzyd]

Andy Grammer!  Yup all Katie’s budget went to Michelle. 

[Kiss my mutt]

Oh my lord, I thought it was horrible that he found the text and blamed himself and then it gets worse with his dad’s suicide. I literally said out loud, “honey, it’s not your fault”. That just really brought the mom out in me. 

[Lamb18]

Oh no Chris S. So earnest but not making any sense.

[dizzyd]

I want that dress. 

[Kiss my mutt]

Oh good lord, Chris  acting like he deserves a rose and then throws Nayte under the bus!

[DEL901]

Chris just lost all his Risky Business points.   He needs to go home.  

[Kiss my mutt]

Well,  crap there goes the cocktail party!

[Riplet68]

She is PO’d!  At Chris, at the situation. Now they are going to fall all over themselves to talk to her. And he was honest about what Nayte said, but the tone was all wrong.  Nayte seems to be handling it well with her, hmm

[JenE4]

Oh, no. Chris S puckered up for a smooch, but this guy just friend-zoned himself by being the Wrong Reasons accuser. This never works out well. You might get yourself ahead of the pack for one episode, but that puts the target on your back for the others to go on the defensive against you.
