S18.E06: Week 6

[JenE4]

Miss Young did not teach these children the difference between your and you’re. 

What parents signed off on this?!? Kid, it’s “Wrong Reasons” not “bad guy.”

[dizzyd]

Smart kids! 🥰

First thing I noticed. Come on, Michelle, there are already too many people in the world that don't know this! Fix the next generation or they too will drive me crazy! 

[JenE4]

Oh, my god. That kid who was all, “He cuwd cawy in awl the gwocewies. He made the bewst fawt I’ve eva seen.” Too cute!! 

[dizzyd]

These kids need to plan every franchise date.

This date goes actually look pretty fun. 

[tennisgurl]

The word your looking for is “smuck” kid. Let the cologne tell the story. 

[SallyAlbright]

I know people have been pretty underwhelmed by Clayton, and he is so not my type, but he does seem like a hell of a nice guy. 

[DEL901]

Nice guy.  Zero chemistry with Michelle. 

[Stats Queen]

So now we get to see Clayton and why choices were made.

I agree with a poster above, 5th graders should always pick the date and determine who gets to go on the date.

[DEL901]

Clayton got through the season with zero drama, and a reputation of being a great guy.   No wonder he got the job.  

[JenE4]

Maybe it’s because 

Spoiler

we already know he becomes The Bachelor

but Clayton seems like he’s auditioning. We haven’t seen many conversations between the two of them but every time they talk, I feel like he’s always asking about her experience on the show rather than trying to get to know what she’s actually like. He’s polite about it but it just seems like an ulterior motive.

Spoiler

Whether he was “auditioning” or the producers just told him very early on he was a contender for the lead, it just seems suspect to me.

 

[dizzyd]

Well, isn’t that the cutest thing! From the mouths of babes! 🥺

How the hell is Clayton going home when we have Captain Cologne still stinking up the joint?

I expect him gone by the end of this episode. I hope he’s the one she sends home in the episode preview. 

[phlebas]

How many weeks after filming wrapped did they film Clayton reading those letters?

Was he sitting in the hotel from one of the travel days during his own filming?

[JenE4]

So they totally used these kids to 

Spoiler

Introduce the concept of Clayton as Bachelor! I’m surprised they didn’t write it in the letter! There was NOTHING there with Michelle—no emotion about her—but let the kids show us he’s human.

I missed a bit.  Who is this?

I’m so confused, he’s in the limo heading home and all of a sudden the kids are knocking on Clayton’s door? Those kids and Clayton were both adorable .

Well, he also makes the best fort.

Still really confused about decisions the producers made… Not denigrating the ability to make an amazing  fort.

[DEL901]

Just a psa…the Bachelor starts airing January 3rd.  

[tennisgurl]

Museums, pizza, and cute baby animals? Kids need to plan ALL the dates from now on. 

[JenE4]

Rick showing us the 10 and 2 of cow milking: “It’s just like driving a car. It could be like other things, but I like to think of it as driving a car.” Lol, Rick!

I really think it came down to pure timing. Someone needed to be available for their filming schedule, and he was eliminated around the right time and seemed nice enough. Most of the fan favorites wouldn't have been available in time or would have spoiled the ending completely. The contestants matter more than the lead as they are the ones who bring the drama (unfortunately).

...and maybe their first eight choices said no

[JenE4]

OMG, as if a “Very Boy Band Holiday” wasn’t exciting enough, a live re-enactment of “Diff’rent Strokes” with Kevin Hart as Arnold?!? I’m dying! This is going to be amazing!

[dizzyd]

I can see how Martin and Jaime were buds. Cut from the same nasty 2 faced cloth. 

[DEL901]

And maybe you didn’t communicate very well, Martin. 

[JenE4]

Wow, call it a wrap. This is Nayte’s to lose at this point. I don’t think a lead has expressed this strong of feelings about falling for someone with still 8 people in the running, right?

Oh, great, Martin is going to question Michelle’s “trauma” and “immature” way of reacting… Um, except he doesn’t  and says she’s an amazing woman and hopes that she’ll meet his family?! Here comes Olu to rat him out. Finally I’m happy for someone speaking up—Olu is Right Reasons about Martin’s Wrong Reasons.

[tennisgurl]

Martin still being here continues to reek of producer interference, he’s sticking out like a sore thumb.

Had to keep one villain for this week after Chris went home.  

[phlebas]

Epic limo speech

[dizzyd]

He has no awareness of his words and perception. He’s a duplicitous communicator or has a really weird form of bipolarity that can switch from sentence to sentence. 

[DEL901]

Keep digging in Martin, you ass.  

[JenE4]

I love that Michelle brought the rose to confront Martin to ultimately kick him out.

Why’d she walk him outside?! Maybe to make sure he actually left. She gave him far more consideration and space to talk than I would have.

[dizzyd]

I really wish we didn’t have to see these shmucks on BiP but that’s inevitable 😡

[tennisgurl]

I assume she only walked Martin to make sure he left. Did he plan on grabbing a shovel before he continued digging himself in? I dred his inevitable return on Paradise.

[Thumper]

Just started watching this season tonight, but glad to see that Martin is as awful as he seems tonight!  Very high on himself.

[dizzyd]

Ok just give those kids the producers job already!

[Crashcourse]

This is a lackluster group, including Michelle.

[JenE4]

Oh, the parents are totally going to “come home” and catch them in the hot tub.

Oh, yes, right on cue…

[dizzyd]

Ok she had to set him up. She’s testing him. 

[JenE4]

Brandon is already asking for Michelle’s hand in marriage?!? Whoa!  This is technically their first date!

Way to jump the gun.   

Eta, wonder what Michelle thinks of him asking for their blessing….he did say he was an “old soul” but I think he meant “old fashioned “, something very different. 

Edited November 24, 2021 by DEL901

[JenE4]

Very telling that when Brandon said he was falling in love with Michelle, she just said her heart was pounding—unlike the “tumbling, falling” whatever she said to Nayte.

[dizzyd]

Where’s Lamb18 to tell us where this gorgeous place is?

[DEL901]

So, I’m guessing Joe gets one rose.  Then…Olu?   Rick is definitely going home.  Rodney is a great guy, but as a friend. 

[tennisgurl]

Stop canceling cocktail parties damn it! This is like the 6th one she’s canceled and she isn’t even mad about anything this time!

I think she has a better connection with Rodney than Olu.

Olu is hot! I’m looking forward to ogling him in Paradise—hopefully. 

[dizzyd]

She looks really pretty at RC
