S19.E09: Week 9: Overnight Dates Part 1

[Emma Snyder]

Quote

In part one of overnight dates week, Gabby takes a leap of faith with Erich, and sets sail with Johnny; Rachel takes the reins with Tino.

Air date: September 5, 2022 at 8:00PM EDT.

Gabby is going to keep nodding until someone falls in love with her

[DEL901]

Why is Gabby wearing a sundress and Rachael looking like no one told her they were going to the beach?

[JenE4]

Here comes the part where they could potentially sleep with and/or proclaim they’re falling in love with multiple people. If Rachel already told  Tino and Gabby already told Erich that they’re falling in love, then they can’t progress further with anyone else or they’ll be hypocritical after crying over Clayton for doing the same.

[nlkm9]

Ok that was not how girls “dish”. So scripted it irks me!,,,

[phlebas]

Jumping off the top platform is a lot like falling in love -- you'll be fine unless you belly flop.

MOre strained metaphors, please

[Kiss my mutt]

Just get the dumb jump over with! Finally!

Is there a correlation between these stunts and getting a rose? You’d think so.

The hardest working black boxes in show business!

[phlebas]

The problem with these water events is they wash off your carefully applied TV makeup.  Erich just got a tour of every freckle, blemish, and zit. 

He probably doesn't care, but she's watching with horror right now.

Gabby, it’s hard to win at misery poker against a guy who’s father is literally dying!

Seriously. I was all "ohhhhh Gabby don't walk down this road right now"

A FS invitation is a surprise after 40+ seasons of the B franchise?

And somehow all 120ish rooms use skeleton keys? What are the chances?! Lol.

Yes. Now we see why she wears so much makeup. I feel for her. I've struggled with my complexion my entire life. Even bright sunlight is terrifying. She's very brave.

[TheFinalRose]

The wrinkles on Gabby's morning after outfit! Is there no wardrobe or production assistant to steam them out for five minutes before the cameras start rolling? 

[dizzyd]

I hope the raw Gabby is different from camera Gabby, because it just feels like all her past history has made her put up a facade in her life. I like her with Erich.

I know right. At my hotel and most hotels guests use keycards or their cell phones for digital key.

Dear Hubby is boycotting this show but he is working this evening so I am watching until he comes home.  His boycott will remain until Chris Harrison comes back, so he ain’t returning.  But I was curious.

Nothing has changed, has it.  It’s still vapid, empty, shallow, scripted….  But not entertaining, anymore.

100%. I don't put much stock in these TV relationships, but I also think they make a good couple. The part of me that isn't completely cynical hopes these crazy kids make a go of it.

[JenE4]

Okay, we just spent way too much time on “the morning after” and Erich and Gabby both freaking out over their own and the other’s potential feelings. This doesn’t bode well.

[Kiss my mutt]

I’m surprised she didn’t start talking about her mom again as they were saying goodbye.

Plus we had the clip in the preview of a tough teary conversation between them. I was about to switch channels when Tino came up after but yay it’s Aven. 

Eta: I’m really getting annoyed with autocorrect today!

Rachel to start crying in 3..2...1 followed by her saying I don't know why I am the Bachelorette.

Just a reminder that the Fantasy suites are spread across two episodes so I am sure that tomorrow night is when we see the fireworks.  

[tennisgurl]

How long until Rachel starts crying? Place your bets! 

[phlebas]

I think Aven would be a solid choice as the next Bachelor if Rachel doesn't pick him.  A better choice than Dime Store KIllmonger

[dizzyd]

Ok since they’re just going to force us to endure Tino and I wasn’t paying attention to a word he said to Jesse but all I could see was a forehead full of popping veins and pock marks all over his face. But I watched for Jesse.

Oh, no! Tino talking to Jesse while Rachel is falling in love with Aven is even more foreboding! It’s never a good sign when a contestant talks to the host.

Damn that was good! 

[phlebas]

I didn't think Clayton's name would be a good drinking game tonight but here we are.

[dizzyd]

I don’t think Gabby mentioned Clayun even once but Rachel has already done so about 10 times and it’s still just 1st O/N. 

[Jaundiced Eye]

Rachel's speech pattern drives me a little nuts. Clay-en, impor-an, me and Aven.

[dizzyd]

Rachel has a Meryl Streep look. 

[LakeGal]

I keep expecting Tino to break in on Rachel and Aven's date.

Swallowing the "t" is pretty common here in New England, but she's a Florida girl.

And she is definitely terrible at the me/I thing. But then, everyone on this show is. As a former editor, it's going to give me a myocardial infarction 

[rlc]

I like Gabby and Erich together. 
 

Tino looks like Quagmire.

[nlkm9]

I’m so jaded I’m already anticipating the breakups. Gabys voice is just soooooo annoying, and the things she says…. Erich is ok but he, will be crushed when his father passes and gabby is an emotional wreck . They will leave together but won’t last. Rachel is so sweet, but i think she’s being very careless with Aven. Tino is her pick but he will have a meltdown when he sees this, much like Andi and Josh . Lol not sure why i still watch this but i can’t quit you bachelor nation!😂

Me too . Ugh.

[JenE4]

Okay, why are there two floor lamps right next to each other, highlighting 4 blank picture frames in this fantasy suite?

Didn’t Rachel already tell Tino she was falling in love with him? Maybe she was just telling that to the camera last week. Aven for Bachelor! He can do better than Rachel! 

[Jaundiced Eye]

Did Rachel just tell us that Aven is packing?

[tennisgurl]

My suspension of disbelief has finally been pushed too far. NO ONE has mascara like that right after waking up in the morning!

Tino gives me bad vibes. His family visit was almost as bad as Hannah Brown's visit to Jed's--actually worse because Jed's family had some snark to go along with their stink eyes while Tino's family had stink eyes and bad style and no entertaining snark.

From day 1, I’ve been saying Handsome Squidward.

Wtf, why so many non date Tino segments. They’re really shoving him in our faces. 🤮

Agreed. But they have been on fire since the first nite. It’s so obvious she is picking tino.

Show, stop trying to make Tino happen. It’s not going to happen!

[DEL901]

Tino is a terrible actor. He says his lines so flatly.

2 things that drive me nuts!!! 
1) it is not a “ pit in your stomach” it is a feeling like a pit in your stomach. 
2) this hasn’t been said yet but “ weary” instead of wary.

[Jaundiced Eye]

I hate watching Tino kiss. He looks like he's slurping oysters. Creeps me out.

[dizzyd]

Well they already showed Johnny in paradise 😏
