Quote

Twelve men find themselves vying for only seven roses; one man finds an unexpected spark in a new arrival; Jesse Palmer arrives to drop a bombshell announcement that divides the beach like never before.

Airs Monday October 17 at 8:00PM EDT.

[dizzyd]

I’m going to give the guys 2 thumbs up for referencing the Red Wedding. 

TG Jarley has left the beach.

Of course “logan” stepped it up- he wants a rose. Cant wait to see jill and genevieve wailing 🤣

Hmm “ bachelor royalty” means stalking. Lol . 

[JenE4]

A shrimp tasting! What, no scampi?!

[phlebas]

Hmmmm... who will Shanae pick.... 

I guess it depends on if she wants to let Aaron sleep on her couch

[dizzyd]

Casey cracks me up: I have a chance with Serene.

Well, considering they showed us who she’s sitting next to when they had the preview of Jesse announcing the big twist of the ladies leaving!!! They showed the entire cast sitting there!

Spoiler

I was surprised to see she chose Logan!

Even the editors don’t care. 

[phlebas]

So Brittany has been on two season and both times she has people making up rumors about her.

At least she has some people around who like her this time.

[dizzyd]

Can they make Casey the bachelor? He could narrate his season better than anyone else. They’d been advertising for geriatric Bachelor anyway. I definitely don’t want it to be Michael, I lost my like for him from Bachelorette, but everyone probably looked good next to Katie. 

The blood bath began even before the RC. So doesn’t look like the RC will be as dramatic as it could have been.

Okay, Pete actually gets one point here for giving his “sob story” before asking about her “favorite color” because that’s what you’re supposed to do on this show to build a connection.

Casey knocked himself out over the anxiety of thinking Pete was going to confront him! We didn’t even get Pete saying, “You wanna pizza me?!” 
 

[DEL901]

Peter was so defensive….if I’m not physically attracted, I can’t even look at a woman and there is no one here I find attractive.  Yup. Right…. Most of the women there are very attractive physically.  Some may not be attractive on the inside, but he didn’t seem to care about that.  And Jill was right about the sexism.  When the women assured him he wasn’t getting a rose so he might as well leave, he resisted, but the men barely had to say two words and he was gone. 

That said, I didn’t like Jill calling him ugly as he left.  That was just plain mean and unnecessary. 

[dizzyd]

I don’t remember Danielle. But I’ll say her boobs are barely contained. The way Michael hugged her, I thought they already knew each other but then he said they’ve never met before.

Episode 6, Rose Ceremony 2.  ‘Nuff said. 

[JenE4]

Michael telling Danielle I’m the only single guy here! Lol. I see what you’re doing there, buster. The desperation coming off of this man! He’s not going to let her talk to anyone else and risk her realizing there are multiple options for her.

How do Michael and Danielle have a "history" if they've never met? And what a coincidence that she showed up in the nick of time to save Dead Man Walking.

I think those who don’t hook up at Stagecoach at least slip into each other’s DMs.

[phlebas]

I know Danielle doesn't give her rose to James, which is too bad.  It would be funny.

No kidding. And she's one of the least attractive women on the beach. What's with this "attack pack" mentality, where these feral women butt into other people's business? It's just plain weird. Producer direction, I presume.

[Kiss my mutt]

Shenae picked the wrong guy if she’d wants a serious boyfriend that could lead to marriage. Logan is unexpressive and ambivalent and just someone you fool around with. He had no business going on the bachelorette and was fooling around off screen with someone else. 
I really don’t get why Michael is here. I’m always surprised when people leave their kids to do this unless they are hard up for money. Maybe Danielle will be the one though.

Yup, who said high school ends when you graduate. Now especially with social media, you can be a mean girl for the rest of your life. 🙄

Wait, whaaaat? There was a third woman? I really don't find him attractive or that he has a good personality. I feel bad for James ...

[Jaundiced Eye]

That boat is rocking. I think I'd get seasick. Up, down, up, down.

[DEL901]

Wow. Two grown ups who have experienced loss, talking , having an actual conversation and not making an engagement the end game.  Hopefully they give this a real chance and Michael doesn’t self sabotage.  

[dizzyd]

Well if he’s going to compare every woman to his late wife on a pedestal... Danielle’s not going to want to hear that he didn’t feel the same magic with her. 

[JenE4]

Oh, gosh! Michael is not catching the clues! I feel like we need Sebastian from The Little Mermaid to come on by singing “Kiss the Girl.”

He is awfully tempted to do that, it seems... but I think she'll see past that.

I didn't watch Nick's season. Danielle seems great.

[MBJ]

I am so sick of listening to Michael narrate for 2 hours. This is wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too much Michael.

[Kiss my mutt]

It’s certainly not going to help with him comparing how he felt about his late wife with Danielle. 
How long had it been between when her fiancé killed himself and when she went on the Bachelor?

She’s definitely on a more mature level compared to Sierra. Maybe her strength will be to smack the self sabotage out of him. I definitely feel for her having to perform cpr on her fiancé and losing him.

Putting everyone's posts/clues together, I believe that they're going to set up a bunch of women for Michael to reject for minuscule reasons like a sad Jerry Seinfeld and then make him The Bachelor. This all feels so staged and so fucking convenient.

Why have I heard Michael recite the same damn lines one dozen times each!??!?!?!?!?

"I've only ever said I love you to one person" what about your kid, your parents? LOL

If he meant it why does he have to keep saying it?!

[JenE4]

Okay, I got a little tear in my eye there. What a difference between Sierra just proclaiming she’s going to be the step-mom to Michael’s child, to the soul-bearing Michael and Danielle just shared. I think these two are Right Reasons all the way.

I think that might have been the plan when filming started, but Puddy’s nephew is already filming the new season, and by next season, Michael will be old news.  I think this means he leaves with someone…hopefully Danielle, which took him out of the running.  

[alexa]

That is the first real conversation I have seen yet.  It actual seemed normal and intelligent.  Lol

[dizzyd]

Right Jesse you’re so happy for them, you evil man. 

[Kiss my mutt]

Shenae will regret giving Logan the rose. He’ll be the first to cozy up to someone new in a heartbeat. I have no memory of any of these new girls. They must not have gotten very far. 

[DEL901]

Given the excitement of the guys…wonder if there’s another surprise and the women will find some additional guys at the place they are going.  

[dizzyd]

Oh hell no, these ladies talking about being on the beach as being in the trenches! These ladies are so sheltered, they act like this is a catastrophe, the end of the world, the worst thing to ever happen to them. Maybe this is the Red Wedding.

….and the first casualty is Lace….now who is next.  I agree with the poster upthread about Logan.  And most likely Jacob too.  

[Crashcourse]

Jill's ugly crying is cracking me up! 🤣

Shanae looks like Jessica Biel. 

[dizzyd]

All those tears were for naught. The girls got the better end of this deal, they have new guys, a pool and most importantly ac.

Called it! 👏

[JenE4]

Those women lost their goddamned minds. I mean, most of them have been hysterical every single episode, but this was a whole new level. 

[phlebas]

If that was the version of Victoria Pilot Pete saw, and not the bubbleheaded psychopath we saw, I kinda get it.  Victoria v2022 is awesome

[JenE4]

I’m just waiting for Michael and Danielle to come back from their date and walk into the middle of all that!

[antfitz]

Is there anyone else who can't stand Genevieve and her historianics?! Or is it just me....  Any guy who gets mixed up with her as a world of hurt in his future. 🎯🤮

No just you.

[SassyCat]

Yeah, Michael pulled the “it’s not you, it’s me” excuse with Sierra, but then stayed, while she left, but he’s one among many men that do not have the guts to just be honest and say he’s just not feeling that spark. It’s such a hard thing to do when someone really likes you, like Sierra, did him.

He also has put a lot of thought into what kind of woman he would need to come into his life after losing his wife and dealing with the tsunamis of grief he obviously still has hitting him every time he brings her up. He says the person he might be able to connect with would have to be “scarred” emotionally, and I get that. 

He’s had to face having a WHOLE new aspect of who he is now, the part that was shattered and flattened into the dirt of the bottomless pit of overwhelming agonizing pain. The part he had to scrape up off the ground and meld it somehow into his old self, accept it and feel able to carry that burden and walk out into the world he has to live in without letting that other half rule him. Assimilate this whole new horribly sad new part of himself that never existed before. The part of him that died when his wife died. An unwelcome brand new aspect of himself that he can never run and hide away from and deny its existence. 

He’s done some deep thinking about this and I hand it to him for that. 

As a dad its so important for him to really think long and hard about any woman he brings into he and his sons world. I personally think he hasn’t moved past the hardest part of his grieving process yet and isn’t ready for a new romantic relationship yet.  I’m glad he’s hooked up with Danielle who knows, has a clue, about what he’s talking about and has the deep emotional scars to bear also.  He can feel comfortable with her because she has the understanding of this, where the other beach goers haven’t got a clue. Danielles fiancé dying from suicide,, whoa, thats a whole nother level of grief assimilation to bear. This could work out for Michael and Danielle. Both members of that club nobody wants to be a part of. 

[Kiss my mutt]

I think Jill is much worse to the point I’m kinda freaked out by her.
