S27.E03: Week 3

[JenE4]

Chaos erupts in the Bachelor mansion after one lovely lady helps Zach erect his tent 

Edited February 7, 2023 by JenE4

[JenE4]

Now Zach is BFFs with Sean? Why isn’t Jesse around to chat with? It’s because he’s talking with the ladies, and on screen it says:

Jesse

age: 44, Host

Huh? What is this all about?! We know he’s the host! They never told us Harrison’s age. Strange.

[Crashcourse]

Oh gawd!  😱  I just saw Ashley I. and Jared in a commercial with Ashton Kutcher for a movie he's in.   I do not want to see this couple anymore on my tv screen, but I'm afraid they'll show up later.

[MadeleineElster]

OMG- a date even I would enjoy-- the Natural History Museum.  So much better than the usual dates they offer.

After the backlash of their over-exposure on Paradise, I’m surprised Bachelor trotted them back out. 

[dizzyd]

Did Zach really know Sean before the show to be his BFF? Night at the museum has never been done before on the franchise. Kaity is really pretty and behaves relatively more maturely than a lot of her peers.

[Melonie77]

Hope these charts help identify Zach's girls here during week 3.
Please don't forget to click on the photos as they are so much sharper when enlarged...

[Kiss my mutt]

Is “big time” an adverb or adjective? I forgot. 😉

Too bad they can’t tie this date into “A Night in the Museum”.

If he sends home Mercedes, he will have eliminated the latter half of the alphabet.

Clayuhn had a date at the museum with the school teacher.  We see how that ended. He became the bachelor.

Right? But they can’t be bothered with the women. 

[Melonie77]

I too am liking this museum date....I've had some very romantic dates myself in museums although I've never slept in a tent inside one! I see there are two separate single beds. I'm wondering if this date will be more innocent than we might think? Oh well, they just pushed the beds together so who knows!

So based on the girls reactions I'm realizing that this one-on-one started later in the day than most individual dates do. Usually the couple does something during the day and then an evening dinner/event as well. Here they are starting at night. I guess Kaity will return in the morning and the other girls are concerned about what may happen.

[dizzyd]

Does Hannah storm never age! I love the team names. Ambulance before kick off 🤦🏻‍♀️

LOL I too noticed he doesn't seem to like anyone with names starting with anything past the letter 'L'! I wonder how long before I don't even need the second chart anymore.

[Lamb18]

I miss Chris Harrison and Fred? calling the plays. Unfortunately Fred? died a little while back, but they were the best sportscaster.

Although I think I liked the guy they had last year, don't remember him.

[phlebas]

The romance tonight is off the chain. "Is that a mastodon?  Make a child with me."

If only someone would break a clavicle on the group date.

[Katie111]

I think Katie and Zack might be a good match.  I think they are both nerdy.  I think Katie is beautiful but doesn’t realize her self worth.  
 

Does anyone else find Zack’s constant head bobbing distracting?  

[Lamb18]

I bet real football players pee their pants more than we realize. Not that they'll ever tell us.

[Melonie77]

Hmmm. I see cowgirl Brooklyn has a bitchy side. At least we know the producers / editors want us to think that.

[JenE4]

Wait. I wasn’t really looking but they said Anastasia got injured during kickoff? Did she just panic and play dead as soon as the game started? Playing possum would be my go-to technique. No wait, someone else peed her pants? I would actually more likely do that, lol.

[Lamb18]

And I get kind of nervous that one woman will get up after being tackled, then fall over like Damar Hamlin.

But it looks like they made it through unscathed. And Breanna is crying because her team lost.

[EllenB]

Ugh, I hate the dates where they have to physically compete for the guy. And he was enthusiastically saying things like "You have blood!" like it's a positive thing. He's just another jock douchebag after all.

[Lamb18]

Sorry, quoted myself.

I'm pretty sure there's no crying in football. 😁

[Melonie77]

OK here comes the whining from the yellow team. It figures that Brianna was on the side that lost. Now we'll never hear the end of it. Thanks also to complainers Greer and Gabi.

I'm always surprised that ABC doesn't worry about someone getting seriously hurt in one of these football games.

[Lamb18]

Oh oh, Zack says he wants to  "cheers" each of them. Major solecism.

She’s a Canadian but she lives in Austin, and so does he, which helps by removing the bicoastal element.   And she seems nice.  

[Kiss my mutt]

Christina is working hard for that rose.  I don’t think she’s that in to him rather she just doesn’t want to go home and end her exposure. 

[Kiss my mutt]

I wish the bachelor or bachelorette would just say “can you give us a minute?” during interruptions of conversations that actually need a minute.  Zach certainly doesn’t give false hope to the cast.  He’s very straightforward. 

[Riplet68]

DS called so missed Kaitys date and the football game.  Bummed I missed Zach and Kaity's conversation.  I'm sorry, but I think Zach and Charity like each other, but don't "like" each other.  There was no tongue in that kiss and it looked like they were keeping room for Jesus between them.  Compare that to Him and Mandrell and the dark haired chick in the black top who literally jumped him on the kiss.

I'm kinda enjoying Sean's role this season but I wish they would have him there more often. It might have been nice to have Sean hang w/ Zach during the game. I would love to see them going over the girls and discussing prospects!

Is this the best looking group of contestants ever? So many prospects for bachelorette. Kylee is really very pretty. 

I like Christina. I feel bad that she keeps babbling on about her one-on-one and I don't think she's doing it be malicious.

[JenE4]

Bailey made a miscalculation asking him to validate whether there’s a connection. I don’t think she expected him to say, now that you mention it, you should just leave now. K. Thnx. Bye.

Apparently saying no is banned.   Which sucks because it just prolongs the misery for whatshername.  She’s really regretting ambiguously asking for reassurance.   As Kiss My Mutt said, Zach is very straightforward and he won’t give false hope now that the topic has come up.  If she’d kept quiet, she might have coasted a bit and gotten some time with him.

[Crashcourse]

I like that Zach is being straightforward and not stringing these women along.  So goodbye, Bailey.

[dizzyd]

I liked Christina last week 🙄

[Crashcourse]

Bailey seems nice enough, so she'll probably wind up on BIP.

[Lamb18]

Christina is wandering into villainess territory.

Is she that unable to read a room or does she just not care? Then she's surprised when someone is offended. 

[Riplet68]

Christina is either  being totally clueless (though I love her blouse) or a total Be-yotch. Why would she be confused - she should know how the game is played and Zach told her to trust the process, and she is already not trusting it.

Once again - I am loving Zach.  I like that he's up front with all the women.  I think Charity is going to be his Rodney - his friend and maybe spy on the inside.  For being 26, Zach is maybe the most articulate bachelor I've seen (I"ve only been watching since Jo Jo). 

Bachelor producers take note - I'm glad we're not having catty, back stabbing, drunk women who seem to actually get along - as well as a bachelor who doesn't seem clueless how things work.

[phlebas]

I think Christina might be super drunk

Yeah, I think that talk with Bailey was the type of conversation that should have been finished. Zach actually looked like he was going to ask for more time but Bailey spoke up and said it was fine.

So Bailey is going home already...Zach sure is confident in his decisions. Too bad he didn't send Brianna packing - I guess the producers really do want her around for the drama because I don't think Z was feeling Briana either.

[DEL901]

I’m sure the Mandrell family is sooooooooo proud as Christina attempts to single handedly destroy the Mandrell reputation of being nice people. 

[Lamb18]

I'm almost old enough to apply for senior Bachelor! Oh, I'm so excited! Three more months and I can apply to be on Old Geezer wants a Sprightly Gal, (otherwise Senior Bachelor).

[dizzyd]

If I were Ali, I’d pick my dive instructor over Zach. 

[Riplet68]

So far, I like Zach and Aly together

[Melonie77]

Oh well, Christina is a problem after all.
She seems too self-absorbed.

But Brooklyn has some nerve complaining about her because she has spewed numerous jealous and snarky soundbites herself. I like her less than Christina.

 

[Lamb18]

I'd probably pee my pants doing that parachute jump. Then on a bright sunny day someone will look up into the sky and ask, "Is it raining?"

Sorry, I'm in a weird mood.

[Crashcourse]

I would've had a big brown stain on the backside of that white outfit.

[Melonie77]

OMG I hope Pilot-Rachel is not flying that cropduster.

No way would I jump out of that plane no matter how cute the instructor is. I have to believe they asked Aly whether she would be ok with this in advance.

I dislike them both.   Hopefully at least one goes home soon.

[LakeGal]

Aly and Zach look like they are dressed for two different dates.  She is dressed up and he is dressed down.
