S26.E06: Week 6

[Emma Snyder]

Quote

Clayton must decide between Genevieve and Shanae; the journey to find love heads overseas to Hvar, Croatia, where one woman reveals a shocking secret; the rest of the ladies battle each other in knightly challenges for a chance at a rose.

Airs Monday, February 14 at 8:00PM EST.

[Lamb18]

Niagara Falls must be a great place to fall(s) in love!

Shanae gets the deranged strings background music.

[FlyingEgret]

I am actually as confused as Clayton - there's a Genevieve Situation???

[Lamb18]

I wonder why Shanae has been single for five years. Did the word get out about her?

[JenE4]

Genevieve says “vulnerable” 7 times with no actual substance. What’s your sob story other than being chosen on the 2:1?!? No matter, like Pavlov’s dog, saying you’re vulnerable is enough to trigger Clayton’s kissing reflex.

Shanae is just totally making up a story about Gen wanting to go home?!?! Even worse, she’s DANCING over her ability to create false vulnerability tears on demand?!? Is it spray from the falls?

[Amy Beth]

Normally they are bitter, but man, I’d love to hear from some of Shanae’s exes on SM.

[DEL901]

I am sure Genevieve mentioned packing….she’s going on a 2-1 date. Packing is required.  

[JenE4]

After talking about how proud she is of her acting and fake crying, Shanae has the audacity to say Genevieve is acting?!?! What the hell!

[alexa]

They do realize this show is supposed to be the Bachelor and literally every episode has been about Shanae.  I quit watching, and turn over here once in a while and find it is still about Shanae.  

[WahooLAH99]

Clayton is just stupid! So so stupid! He should be very mad if the producers are making him keep this crazy person!

[dizzyd]

If I was Genevieve, I would’ve walked off right there when he accused me of acting. Why are these women wasting their time on this guy, he’s so dull!!!

[DEL901]

Woo hoo!   Clayton finally got a clue!

[Lamb18]

"Reiterate" Clayton said a big word!

It's about time!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

[DEL901]

And now the party begins!

[alexa]

I have to say, he totally seemed like he was going mess up again, and he actually came through!  Maybe I can watch again, lol

[Lamb18]

Ding dong the shrimp is dead!  Good line to whoever said that!

[Amy Beth]

I’m convinced the producers told him that if he picked Shanae, he would have to leave the country when his season aired. They got enough drama from her, any more would have been overkill.

[DEL901]

This add came on right after Shanae got dumped and the rest celebrated.   It seemed very apt. 
 

[Lamb18]

Have a nice time in Mexico, Shanae!

Shanae will determine who is the guy the women are most interested in and go after him herself, more to compete than because she's interested in him.

[DEL901]

So, he’s talking about now being able to fall in love….I guess he is a fast mover given the adverts and previews. 

[JenE4]

Oh, my god. It only took what 4 or 5 people in a row that Shanae accused of Being There for the Wrong Reasons while everyone else was like, no, Shanae is Here for the Wrong Reasons before Clayton finally figured out the pattern that maybe it was Shanae who’s the real villain? He didn’t even say good-bye—or even good riddance—to her. All the girls cheering and crying and spraying champagne was the best part. They’ll probably hoist Genevieve up on their shoulders when she gets back.

I really think the producers told him something as he was totally all into Shanae and about to choose her, and then suddenly not.

[phlebas]

Once she comes down from ousting Meryl Streep, Genevieve is gonna realize Clayton is a doofus.

[DEL901]

Maybe they took him aside and showed him a few of her talking heads?

[Kiss my mutt]

If Genevieve is acting, she’s doing a pretty shit job, compared to Shanae. But, finally, Clay-ohn got rattled enough to have a moment of clarity at least! I bet we haven’t seen the last of her cause that’s the kind of girl that doesn’t go away quietly. 
 

[JenE4]

Guys, I think Rachel may have just been impregnated. If they didn’t already spoil the show that Clayton falls in love with at least 3 people, I would have assumed the show was over a la Clare and Dale. Didn’t take him long to forget about Shrimpnae.

Uh-oh, the “old lady” from Jersey is melting down.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha

When it comes to real world fall out for Shanae, even worse than her showing was a witch she is….is the humiliation of the other women partying when they found out she was gone!

[Amy Beth]

One of the most romantic places in the world….all of their thought bubbles definitely said “Paris”, maybe “Venice”. Zero them were thinking CROATIA!

I’ve been to Croatia on one of those Mediterranean cruises that’s mostly ports in Italy. It was gorgeous.

[JenE4]

Okay, I just burst out laughing because I’m thinking there’s no way the 1:1 is NOT Mara after a 5-minute voiceover of how it’s the perfect place to fall in love, etc. And Clayton says, “Teddi?” Lol, then right on cue, a storm rolls in!

Even when it was part of Yugoslavia and a communist country, Croatia was a hot destination, and trips to the coastal area were the luxury prizes on shows like The Dating Game decades ago.

[DEL901]

Well, Clayton just lost interest in Teddie….he just has to figure out how to gracefully dump her.

I’m sure it’s lovely, but I stand by the statement that none of those women would have answered Croatia to the most romantic place fill-in-the-blank

[nlkm9]

I just can’t get past teddys huge lips which constantly seem to be in a frown, i think it’s very distracting. Mara is grating, but very pretty.

[JenE4]

Teddi’s sob story is that she’s a virgin because her mom got knocked up with her too young. Oh, wait. The real sob story is the mom issue made her not allow herself to be vulnerable enough to fall in love. But, being vulnerable on this show means just saying some generic platitudes and maybe some light inner child trauma. So now that Teddi has been vulnerable with Clayton, she can see herself starting to fall in love.

[nlkm9]

So here’s my question , if you sent home from Croatia do you get to stay and sightsee

Eh, last season Minnesota was the perfect place to fall in love. It’s standard vernacular for them to say whatever random location is the perfect place to fall in love. The fact that they’re going ANYWHERE after a couple years of random resorts in Pennsylvania or whatever is exiting. Perhaps Croatia has lax COVID travel restrictions.

 

[phlebas]

When does the mothership come for Mara?

[Amy Beth]

For Mara on Valentines Day:

 

[JenE4]

Serene and Mara really think eating this stuff will make Clayton fall in love with them?! No thank you. Go ahead and send me home.

Wow Mara stepped into Shanae’s boots real fast. Her poem (or pledge or whatever) was cute. But this whole episode has been devoted to her voiceovers. We already know the young one who is getting a second* date was her arch nemesis from the roast date, so they’re really gearing Mara up for the ultimate unraveling.

*I don’t recall the young one having a date, but so they claimed.

[JenE4]

Rachel is saying she doesn’t know whether Clayton will bring her on to next week after he brings up hometowns—when there are still like a dozen people there!! 

[Amy Beth]

He’s just not that into you, girl.

[DEL901]

Oh, Mara, Mara, Mara.  Why don’t you just tell Clayton to send you home.   Just because you think you tick the boxes on some imaginary check list doesn’t mean there is going to be any chemistry.  

LOL. No kissing.  Definitely no rose at the next rose ceremony.

I'm watching without a friend from Croatia and she is still laughing her ass off at the idea that Hvar is some romantic hub.

[nittany cougar]

My God, Mara is unbearable with the constant talk about being she's the only one there who is ready to be a wife.  She's delusional. I bet men run away from her after one date.

[dizzyd]

 Please tell me they didn’t fly Shanae to Croatia. 

[phlebas]

Meet me at the clock tower.

 this is either Back to the Future cosplay or a sniper

[JenE4]

I’m from Jersey so I can say this… Mara already comes off as the mafia NJ Italian stereotype as seen on Tv and movies, so this “meet me at the clock tower” seems like a total set-up. The only thing Clayton is going to meet is a spray of bullets.

[rlc]

She has to do something to show him how she feels. So, oral?

clocktower is the new windmill.
