SallyAlbright November 24, 2021 Share November 24, 2021 Rodney is my favorite, love him. I also like Joe, Nayte and Brandon but I think Nayte is her clear favorite. Only his family and/or he can ruin this because I think Michelle is pretty smitten. It will be interesting to see everything with his Dad because it doesn't sound like they are very close or at least like his dad doesn't know anything about his romantic life. Brandon is adorable and very sweet but seems really young compared to the other guys. I'm not even sure why, but he does. Joe gives me a bit of a Derek Jeter vibe and is really nice, but I can't tell how into Michelle he actually is. Rodney is probably a little bit too much in the friend zone, but he's so cute and fun and I just want to hang out with him. 14 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/124265-s18e06-week-6/page/2/#findComment-7136217

Real4real November 24, 2021 Share November 24, 2021 My wish is for all future bachelor/ettes to start the season off by saying, “If anyone feels compelled to tell me about another contestant ‘for my own good’, just know that I will be sending both your asses home.” All the name calling, whining, and finger pointing these last few seasons is so schoolyard. If they’re looking to knock someone else out of the ring, that someone else better be a for real bunny boiler burn your house down crazy, cause they’ll be eliminating themselves at the same time.

I'm curious to know where they filmed Nayte's family meeting. Did they cross the border and go to his home town of Winnipeg? I rather doubt it as Canada was being pretty strict with the border crossing at the time they filmed the show. Or did his family travel down to Austin? I think they'd have had trouble gaining entry into the States too. I lived in Winnipeg for many years so would be most interesting to see an episode filmed there. And I agree about Nayte being her favourite. I think it's been him from the beginning and the edit monkeys have been wildly creating all this stupid drama trying to cover up the obvious Nayte and Michelle romance. They both sparkle around each other and if you watch closely enough, Nayte is usually next to Michelle, standing, sitting, leaning on the fence, whatever.

Refresh November 24, 2021 Share November 24, 2021 (edited) 1 hour ago, Alexander Pope said: he thinks that dissing and undermining a woman's self-perception will make her like him. I think this is giving Martin too much credit. But I see your point. The Pick up Artist (PUA) community using a Neg to attract women is (in my understanding) more about finding hot women for sex and not about finding a lasting relationship. The idea being that hot women are always hit on with corny/flattering pickup lines and a PUA differentiates himself and becomes memorable by using negative (insults) techniques. I do see parallels in context on Night 1. The bachelorette men are literally competing vs in a bar competing for attention among other men. But weeks into the process it requires different techniques. Sort of a short con vs. long con situation. Martin, and likewise Jamie (and going back seasons, there have been others such as Luke P and Yosef) to me have a very narrow minded view of what a woman should be. I think he sees women as being in service of him. There to cater to him, raise his children etc. Call it classic misogyny. Call it Madonna/Whore complex. Call it Machismo. The thing with Martin is that he's very blunt (self-admittedly) so he doesn't hide it. But my take is that he's What you see is what you get. Misogynist asshole with bad hair.

I’m not sure if we saw Brandon’s parents in the previews but the other ones all had that. Maybe that’s her criteria for picking guys? And all the moms sort of have a similar look. I noticed that too. I think it's one of those instinctive things, where we are attracted to what we are attracted to, from an innate part of ourselves. Michelle talks so highly of her parents and their relationship, that it's what she's drawn to. It's apparent when we see her parents together, that they are still deeply in love after all these years. So for Michelle, finding a biracial partner fits into her "Love Map", that part of the brain that searches to find happiness from a place so deeply rooted in our subconscious. I had the best father in the universe (sadly lost him last year), and I subconsciously always searched for guys who not only had his qualities, but who looked like him too. My sister has been super happily married, deeply in love, with our dad's clone, lol. We even have a Father's Day picture from a few years back where her husband and our dad showed up in the exact same outfit: Blue button-front shirts and blue & gray plaid shorts with Topsiders. Identical. Clayton was making me ill with his Bachelor audition. Turn off the croco-tears and go home. And leave Rodney to us for next season.

Clayton should take a lot of the blame...but there are producers and production assistants (perhaps Clayton's agent?) who are egging him on ... telling him what the AUDIENCE wants to see--what Michelle wants in a partner. He tried his best to be vulnerable (oh, how I've come to hate that word) and everything Michelle wants! I remember an entertaining TV series, "UNREAL," that was a good education for all the Bachelor Franchise sincere believers. (P.S. I wonder what kind of businesses he calls on as a "medical sales representative." He's going to get a lot of grief from his customers.) 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/124265-s18e06-week-6/page/2/#findComment-7141619

OK out of curiosity I looked up Clayton's "medical sales" job. He actually has a killer job with an industry leader & has been there for 5+ years. He has a college degree and was with the Seattle Seahawks, playing in 4 preseason games. I have a new respect for him, as the company he's with is known to be the toughest in the industry, a "make it or break it" sort of pinnacle position. Hmmm. May have to rethink my feelings about Mr. Clayton. 4 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/124265-s18e06-week-6/page/2/#findComment-7141921

SallyAlbright November 29, 2021 Share November 29, 2021 (edited) A lot of the judgment about Clayton, not here but at least on social media, seems unfair. We know very little about him, and what everyone's actually seen shows a decent (seeming) guy. He was nice to Michelle, treated her with respect and manners, and appeared to get along with the other guys in the house. Not saying I'm a huge fan or anything, he's not my physical type and didn't get to show a ton of who he is, but a lot of people on Twitter etc. are making assumptions (and pretty nasty comments) about his intelligence, his personality, his politics, his religion, his family etc. just based on the way he looks and the fact that he's a similar physical type to past Bachelors. No one actually knows much of anything about him. I actually feel a little bit bad for him because as far as I know he hasn't really done anything wrong and there's this weird backlash going on. That said, assuming he doesn't win, I'd choose Rodney for Bachelor every day. But that's nothing against Clayton in any way. Rodney is just like a human ray of sunshine. To keep this somewhat on topic, I have to say that this final 4 is probably my favorite group of men ever. All four seem like lovely people, and I love that Michelle sent all the "villains" home as soon as she noticed them. It has been so refreshing.
