LakeGal November 8, 2022 Share November 8, 2022 Everyone loves Rodney. Eliza was told that Rodney was wonderful and she was so lucky to have him. Everyone wanted her to pick him over Justin. Eliza went along with what everyone else wanted. But deep down it is not what she wanted. I kind of feel bad for her. She didn't want to let Rodney and everyone else down. But she is not happy. Rodney is the guy that everyone thinks is perfect. But I wonder how all the other women would feel if they were told to pick him. They might think he is wonderful for someone else. I don't really get the huge appeal of Rodney. 3 2 1 2 10 Link to comment
Kiss my mutt November 8, 2022 Share November 8, 2022 Gawd, I’m so glad I didn’t have any problems falling in love with “the nice guy”. Rodney would definitely be my vote for Bachelor though I kind of hate to put him through that. 1 4 Link to comment

But he should be. Rodney's like their little cult leader it's so funny. Some of those people look like they want to jump off a bridge. They love him so much it's hilarious.

dizzyd November 8, 2022 Share November 8, 2022 Eliza is no Jason or Arie so I don’t see Justin taking her back like Molly or Lauren. Most of this cast has very little humility, they all believe that if you didn’t pick me, you’re not good enough to come back and expect me to be sloppy seconds. 1 Link to comment

JenE4 November 8, 2022 Share November 8, 2022 I knew Eliza was pulling a Mesnick! It was obvious the way it was edited that everyone convinced her to pick Rodney. That’s why she was so torn to begin with because she wanted Justin, but everyone was convincing her to pick Rodney. okay, I’m kind of surprised that everyone is still crying over Rodney even after the commercial break! I thought all of the hysterics before the break was enough. Now is Eliza crying because maybe she made a mistake by dumping Rodney?!? Lol. Okay, I guess We’ll see who lives in Baltimore. She keeps saying “him” so it might be either one, but I guess Justin? They made it seem like Justin isn’t that thrilled to see her. This is a good cliffhanger. 1 8 Link to comment

Now I know how Eliza felt. We’ve had our long-standing mayor who has done a decent job but he’s always run unopposed—our Rodney, if you will. Now we have a new guy, our Justin, who I don’t know much about but he is representing the political party that I back. I’m certain, like Paradise, the majority of the community will vote for “Rodney,” so I think I’m going to vote for “Justin” just to make a point. 7 Link to comment
phlebas November 8, 2022 Share November 8, 2022 After last week, I thought I understood Eliza's point, but she expressed it poorly. But I was wrong. The only explanations I can come up with for My Sister in Christ Eliza are sinister. (BTW -- Production, ironically, did the Lord's work in showing that montage of Kate dropping her catchphrase. There wasn't much good out of Kate this week, but she's at least not going to get credit for being a strong Christian to those who care about that.) 1 4 3 Link to comment

I couldn’t believe all the men and women crying over Rodney! He seems like a great guy but I would pick Justin too. Justin is handsome, artistic and seems smart. Rodney is not attractive to me. I’m coming around on liking Logan so I hope he finds someone who likes him and is not “exhausted “ at having to pay her own bills. Yea Kate we all want someone else to pay our bills and gym membership! Is she really upset that Logan can’t afford her expensive gym? Talk about shallow.

Rainsong November 8, 2022 Share November 8, 2022 (edited) One standing rule for writers is: don’t use the first person, especially the pronoun ‘I.’ With this in mind, this writer tried a water fast for a day. As in no food, no alcohol, just H20. It was surprisingly, remarkably easy. No reason, really, other than a tame self-challenge. Some have taken fasting to extremes eg wrestlers cutting weight claiming to see visions or the youngest brother in Yellowstone freezing his knackers off outdoors waiting for the spirit of nature to appear in the form of a bear or eagle. No such hallucinations occurred during the day. Then the episode started and the doubt began. This writer saw – or imagined – strange things like Kate repeating herself to the point where the cheeky editors dubbed her canned lines side by side by side. Kate, previously confirmed loved-up, began considering Hayden and his obviously disposable cash as a possible mate. Eliza, clearly preferring Justin, nevertheless sending him home in favor of 25-watt Rodney. Ever-more-bizarre images of Michael & Danielle bouncing on horseback through the streets of Sayulita only to encounter Wells – or his clones – popping up in Zelig-like fashion at various stops along the way. Harrowing Lovecraftian scenes of Wells riding a…burro? Finally, through the glycogen-deficit haze, appeared Eliza. If the Genevieve-Aaron melodrama was excruciating, long and excruciatingly long, the Eliza-Justin-Rodney triangle was excessive, large and excessively large in terms of screentime. When Justin was dismissed, it was clear that Eliza wanted to go with him, even to jump into his arms in a surprise move that would cause the music composer & audio engineers to empty their supply of cymbals & swelling strings onto the soundtrack. Undeterred, they trot out some sinister, foreboding Jaws-like bass-heavy cacophony as Eliza seeks out Rodney to extinguish his already-sputtering wick. Indecisive Eliza is eye makeup-free during the day but that doesn’t stop her from obsessively dabbing at nonexistent mascara…22 times according to a rough count at 8x speed, to say nothing of Rodney’s attempts to stanch the flow. Rodney hasn’t just tempted fate throughout his ironically-named Paradise experience, he’s dared fate to kick him square between the legs. And it does. Oh dear – Genevieve made it through nearly an entire episode without tearing up and he’s set her off. A group cry follows although it should be noted that Victoria was in the group but declined to actually cry. She’s a frosty one. Wait, that’s not fair. Maybe she did cry but by then this writer had dozed off. Lack of food? Perhaps. But boredom seems more likely. Edited November 8, 2022 by Rainsong 1 1 6 7 Link to comment

jade.black November 8, 2022 Share November 8, 2022 There's a real creepy cult mentality this season that's putting me off (along with the million other cringey things these castmembers are doing to put me off). The group cheering in the background every time someone gets a romantic kiss. The group hostility in driving off newcomers. The group celebration when any couple makes up. The group coercion to choose the preferred suitor. The group crying when their most beloved is rejected. I'm expecting some weird Midsommar group orgasm any episode now. Are the bodies of the departed stacked in a barn somewhere? Will the elders (Michael and Danielle) jump off a cliff next? Wild. 1 3 4 1 5 8 Link to comment

Katie111 November 8, 2022 Share November 8, 2022 I don't think Logan having roommates at 26 is at all odd. We live in an expensive part of the country and rents are $2500+ a month for a 1 bedroom. Most people can't afford that alone at 26 esp if they are trying to save for anything or pay off student loans. Rodney comes off as a great person but I agree, these IG woman are all looking for a man that works out non-stop to post on their pages. He'll find a great woman soon but I don't think it'll be in bachelor nation. I don't think I've ever seen them follow a contestant home from BIP to go chasing another contestant esp considering Eliza wasn't even on the beach that long. The whole thing was strange. Michael & Danielle getting another date card was just stupid. Are there no other couples they could have given this to? 3 7 Link to comment
deSchenke November 8, 2022 Share November 8, 2022 Justin icked me out the way he was around Eliza. Seemed they would barely start a conversation and he'd pull her head towards his for a make-out session. He didn't care who it was in front of. I'm certain he did it deliberately in front of Rodney, to make Rodney feel defeated. It was about Justin claiming his territory. I think Eliza was letting certain body parts dictate her decisions, and I don't mean her head and I don't mean her heart. They won't last and I've lost all respect for both of them. 2 1 Link to comment
