S26.E02: Week 2

[Emma Snyder]

Quote

In the group date, Hilary Duff enlists the help of the ladies to throw a dream Beverly Hills birthday party; Amanda Jordan performs for Clayton and his one-on-one date; Ziwe stops by the second group date to help Clayton spot potential red flags.

Let's do a cheers!

 

[Lamb18]

I heard a "Clay-un!"  Just stop that, ladies!

[DEL901]

Jesse carefully didn’t mention that the woman he is “happily married “ to wasn’t his F1.  

[JenE4]

I’m very confused about this coming up preview. This rude Wrong Reasons girl looks and acts just like the rude girl who “hated” Clayton and left night 1 when he wasn’t manly enough during her tailgate party. Now it looks like this girl is fighting with herself?! I’m never going to be able to tell all of these blondes apart.

Oh, Jesse. These girls were toddlers when you were Bachelor. Conveniently leaving out he didn’t marry the person he chose on the show.

[WahooLAH99]

So much screaming! This show is giving me a headache.

[Lamb18]

Serene looks like Michelle.

Didn't the women get any sleep? It looks like they were seeing the rest of the mansion for the first time, so where did they go change their clothes? I'm so confused.

[FlyingEgret]

Gabby (?) sounded so serious when she said she couldn't wait to find out what dreams are made of because she can never remember hers. Really??

Edited January 11, 2022 by FlyingEgret
Not positive that was Gabby who said that...

[JenE4]

Ok, my daughter is 25 and she was all about Hillary Duff on Disney Channel as a kid, so this is the very first celebrity guest that I believe the contestants are legitimately excited about. Hillary Duff alone is going to bring out their inner child to amp them up for this party.

[DEL901]

The various reactions were hilarious.   One genuinely looked happy to see the kids.  The black haired woman claimed to be happy, but she looked at them like how I imagine the witch looked at Hansel and Gretel.

[Lamb18]

I thought they were going to Disneyland when they talked about dreams coming true.

[DEL901]

Those kids are too to really be interested in a bouncy castle or clowns. 

[Kiss my mutt]

Keeping it classy by straddle kissing at a kid’s birthday party. 

[Lamb18]

Wow Cassidy is rude. Hilary Duff looks bored with Cassidy (or is it Cassie? I know a heifer named Cassie. Heifer calf Cassie is much nicer and cuter than Bachelor Cassie.

How horrible about the cake! So careless!

[DEL901]

Clayton is showing his character, being more interested in Cassidy than the kids, especially the birthday.   He should also be unhappy she dumped her tasks on others…except for carrying in the cake she didn’t bake and dropping it.  Yes, he makes out with her more.  It is clear little Clayton is running things and If he is like this all season, I’m going to quickly lose respect for him.  

[JenE4]

Thank goodness the playhouse didn’t collapse on a child because Cassidy didn’t do her job. Cassidy alienated the girls, the children, and Hillary Duff—and dropped the cake to boot?! Then she took every chance she could get to aggressively make out with Clayton. We got ourselves the first villain of the season.

[DEL901]

PS. Hillary Duff has Cassie’s number, even if she thought they hit it off. 

[FlyingEgret]

Loving Cassidy...

For all the wrong reason...

[DEL901]

If Cassidy gets the group rose….   Cassidy is a terrible person.  This is the kind of behaviour that has real life blow back. 

[Kiss my mutt]

My respect-o-meter is on zero for Clayton as it is.

I mean Hillary Duff's been in the entertainment business she was a freaking child - the land of fake and opportunists. It's cute that Cassidy thought she'd buy into her bullshit. 

[dizzyd]

Clayton is not really here for getting to know any of them, it’s like he tunes out and glazed over when they start talking. But he can’t wait to eat their faces and put some notches on his bed post. He looks like he wants to get through the season just snogging and shagging. 

[JenE4]

Cassidy is telling the other girls she’s getting the date rose?!? Whoa! This is getting worse with her explanation of how she doesn’t give a damn about the children’s party. I have no doubt Cassidy will be the new Wrong Reasons breakout star in Paradise attempting to steal everyone’s man and refusing to clean up after herself.

I'm glad that he mentioned it, though, as some of those girls were seriously eyeing him up.

So he's following the Pilot Peter playbook, minus the psychotic mommy (thank god). 

Also is it just me or does the lovely Serene (also an elementary school teacher) really resemble a more petite version of Michelle? She sounds very different though so it's just their facial features at first glance. She's adorable. (ETA: Just saw someone else mention it upthread 😂)

[alexa]

So let’s tell the women it is a date to play with children but reward the person that doesn’t participate.  Brilliant bachelor.  

[DEL901]

Not that I think she’ll be the F1 (not spoiled, just speculating), can you imagine what the Bachelor would think watching this back… and I say Bachelor in the generic, because I think Clayton would be flattered.  

[JenE4]

Serene is gorgeous. She seems very sweet and intelligent, too. She’s my new favorite out of this group date.

whelp, I guess Cassidy wasn’t wrong that she was getting the group rose. But I tend to think it’s because you took every chance you could get to straddle him. If you want to call that a “connection”…well, yeah, body parts were connecting, I suppose. But you didn’t exactly have any deep conversations. Hope it’s worth not having any friends in the house once word travels back to the mansion.

[Lamb18]

Gross! Cassidy gets the rose. Figures. Stupid Clayton.

[SallyAlbright]

So Cassidy is the producer's choice for a few weeks, right? She's not even an interesting "villain."

Teddi seems sweet but says "like" every other word. I don't think I can listen much longer. 

Serene is my favorite so far, too. Gabby seems to have a fun personality but her voice is painful to my ears. 

[Lamb18]

The one on one woman reminds me of Becca from Chris Soules' season.

I thought they'd be going up in a hot air balloon.

Susie!

She is terrible.

I love it!

[SouthernChick]

Does Susie remind anyone else of Hannah Brown?

[JenE4]

Ok, I was a little late getting back to my TV after the commercial break. Did I just see Cassidy do a praying hands bow and say “sensei” instead of “namaste”?! And was she complaining to herself about the other girls?! Is this like a modern day Parent Trap wherein two twins separated as babies end up reunited on The Bachelor instead of summer camp? Don’t switch, nice twin! 

[EllenB]

The Cassie shit is dragging this season down FAST.

[SallyAlbright]

This Susie feels like she was grown in a lab by producers to be the next Bachelorette if she doesn't win. She just has that look that this show likes, kind of a Hannah Brown/Becca Tilley/Jojo mix and she seems nice and bubbly. 

[EllenB]

Susie's Bachelorette audition is pretty good.

She reminds me of Lauren and Jojo.

[DEL901]

Clayton really doesn’t listen much does he?  And when he does, he doesn’t really engage.  Just says that makes him like her more and then defaults to making out.  

[Kiss my mutt]

Hey, did y’all know that Rachel is a pilot? DRANK!

[DEL901]

Okay, if Cassidy’s likes Shenae, Shanae is either a witch or a synchophant (sp?)

[JenE4]

Ok. I was wrong in my last two posts. Cassidy DOES have a friend, and that friend, Shanae, is not the “good twin” separated at birth. The doppelgängers are both evil. Interesting that they look exactly alike, have the same bitchy attitude and manipulative games to play, and are both recruiters. 

[Crashcourse]

Who the hell is Ziwe?

[bosawks]

I can’t tell if Clayton’s eyes glaze over because he’s bored by any conversation that doesn’t revolve around him or because his brain gets confused trying to process more than five words at a time….

[nlkm9]

Who is this ziwe person?

[DEL901]

Shanaenae just embarrassed herself big time.   She is a Cassidy wannabe who couldn’t even sit beside Clayton.  Cassidy would have sat there even if she had to dump someone out of the chair…or maybe she’d have sat on his lap.  

[EllenB]

Hey, the "winner" didn't give him a Bachelor Handshake™! Whoever she is, I like her. For now.

[Lamb18]

Oooo - Clayton has sent a nude photo of myself. Maybe it was a baby picture of himself on a furry rug.

Elizabeth - who was sitting next to Clayton - reminds me of Sharleen in her face and facial expressions. Different hair color, of course.

Shane is more into the competition than Clayton himself.

[SallyAlbright]

Clayton is very touchy with the women - I think he heard people compare him to Colton...

[JenE4]

When I came here, I was Shanae. Now, I am Shanaenae. I am an entirely different person in these 2 days since meeting Cassidy and single white femaling her. It’s hilarious how she had grand intentions of monopolizing Clayton’s attention like Cassidy but Elizabeth sat by Clayton and was deemed “pathetic” for flirting as she had intended to do. Then she pushed Elizabeth!! This Shanaenae trying so hard to be like Cassidy and her “new” personality with an extra nae is great Wrong Reasons content. 

[Crashcourse]

Shanaenae.  Every time I hear that name, I think of Martin Lawrence as Shenehneh.

[EllenB]

Shaneighneigh is a horse's ass.
