S27.E04: Week 4

[JenE4]

The contestants get a free Bahamas vacation and a shot at love.

[dizzyd]

Why is a showering hairy Zach a staple of every episode?

Glad we’re at the travel porn part of the season. Let’s go scuba diving, Kat!

Well we know he is clean at least once every few days.

Nice, ladies, make the one on one winner feel like crap for getting the invitation.

[JenE4]

I feel like they’re trolling us—or maybe even Zach—by filming him showering every day. 

Is Greer going to be the new Christina Mandrell by crying and making the lack of the date all about her and stealing Kay’s moment?

OMG!  Can you imagine what they did to Christina for getting the first one-on-one date that also included meeting Zach's family?🤣

[DEL901]

Talk about insecure…Zach, you are the Bachelor.  She literally signed a contract to date you.  

Edited February 14, 2023 by DEL901

[Lamb18]

Zack is kind of geeky around Kat. 

All those birds, I hope they're not pooping in the ladies' swimming pool.

[Kiss my mutt]

If ya got to cry Greer, et al, at least wait until the chosen one leaves the room. So f’ing, immature and self-centered. 

[DEL901]

Does Zach say “like” more than any other Bachelor?  Like, even most of the women, like, don’t say it like that much.  

[Lamb18]

Zack is sweet with Kat right now.

The latest cast identity charts with updated cuts as of last week...click for clear images...

[dizzyd]

Kat looks so much like Katherine McPhee. Zach seems like he genuinely wants a wife out of this compared to some of his predecessors who could talk the talk on camera but didn’t look like they could walk the walk once the cameras were gone. 

[Riplet68]

Kats not his fav. He said “like” too much. He didn’t say it hardly at all on his dates with Christina and Kaity, and the kisses were a little pulled back

[JenE4]

“Two meteors colliding and creating a star.” I don’t think that’s how it works. 

[Lamb18]

Kissing with Kat is like a US Air Force jet tracking down an unidentified flying object in US air space.

He is almost painfully sincere at times.  

[Shorty186]

Oh boy, Kat is sounding like Gabby 2.0 worrying she's unlovable and Zach is gonna judge her because she has a strained relationship with her mom. Gabby played that card to death unfortunately.

[Lamb18]

Anastasia's "pushing herself to the front" seems pretty mild to me.

We're just not used to seeing sincerity on this show.

 

This is a good date for involving everyone yet there are still tears

I don't think Zach is feeling Anastasia.

[dizzyd]

All the healthcare workers are on this date, hence the longer wait time at the dr office. 

[DEL901]

That black bikini is NOT flattering. 

Boy, he wasn’t feeling Kylee, was he. 

[JenE4]

Please, will someone give Jess some volumizing shampoo?!? 

This girl who’s allergic to shellfish crying over not being able to kiss Zach! Lol.

Now someone else is all upset that another girl pushed herself to the front of the limbo line and is now insisting on pulling him away. Now it’s a full-on war with Anastasia and this other one trying to get girls on their side. This is going to be a full-on rumble.

[Kiss my mutt]

Do people really get judged a lot by not having an ideal childhood? That’s not really in your control. I wonder if there is more to the story or she’s trying to get a reassurance rose. 
Also, Greer looks so different with her hair pulled back. I almost didn’t recognize her.  

[Melonie77]

I really wish they would clarify / improve how it's supposed to be handled when one cast member interrupts another one's time with the lead. The lead should handle it but the fact that Zach remained silent during Kylee VS Anastasia makes me think he was told by production not to say anything.

[Lamb18]

I wanted to hear about Gabi's dream about Zack!

[dizzyd]

See you in paradise, stassi. 

[Riplet68]

Charity and black bikini chick are almost text book examples in how to throw someone under the bus without getting yourself in trouble 

[JenE4]

Kylee, nooooooooo! Zach is not the guy who wants to hear about the drama unless you’re planning on sacrificing yourself on the way out, like Brianna with Christina. But I guess bring here for internet clout is the biggest sin. “Here for the wrong intentions” ad libbing the lines. Everyone knows it’s Here For the Wrong Reasons TM.

[JenE4]

Kylee, Zach only asked you about how Anastasia is in the house because you started complaining about her and saying she was here for the wrong reasons, so he asked what you’re talking about. Kylee actually threatened to take Anastasia down, so I think she orchestrated this whole thing and is taking the followers comment out of context.

[Crashcourse]

Yes, Ariel, Zach is intrigued--with your boobs.

[Melonie77]

I had originally thought this group of girls was not only stunning but that they all got along well.
Now I think some may be super competitive (pageant circuit experts?) and may be more than willing to sabotage anyone who they think is getting ahead.
This almost feels like one of those murder mystery movies where the super competitive cheerleader knocks out her challengers!

[phlebas]

I appreciate Ariel's tactical maneuvering.  

[SouthernChick]

I don’t like Kylee. She needs to go.

Yup, I was just thinking Zach you can’t put your finger on it and seem baffled coz they’re not out there in your face right now.

But seriously, she seems like a nice person who’s more than just her boobs. 

Brooklyn with the B handshake. Please send her home Zach! Is she the only one left from ATFR? I need to check out melonie’s awesome chart.

Hell, I kinda am too. I got shortchanged. 
 

Okay, why would anyone admit to wanting to get more followers out if this? Even if it’s true, keep it to yourself unless you’re looking to go home.

As always, the show plays in the background with me half paying attention. So if there's some part of this drama I missed, please enlighten me. But from what I did see, Anastasia seemed to fire the first blow by deliberately misconstruing Kylee's comment about not wanting to fight her and running around telling all the women how she was basically physically threatened.

That seemed to be the impetus for Kylee's going to Zach and first bringing up Anastasia. And then she used the IG followers as an "add salt to the wound." So in that instance, if that's indeed how it all went down, well Anastasia's learning that you don't start none, won't be none.

Yes! I thought Charity (who is the very pretty black girl) was so sweet but this is the second time she sabotaged someone and I hope they do not make her the bachelorette if Zach doesn't pick her. The other one I think you are talking about is Kylee and I believe she is Latino - she really came off badly tonight. I think she actually lied a number of times but I have to go back and watch a couple of parts again when I have the chance.  She's so pretty and I was rooting for her but she showed a really different side of herself tonight. She's the one who interrupted Z when he was talking to Anastasia.

[DEL901]

Anastasia and Zach can absolutely not get married and have children.  She says like as much as he does.  Those poor kids would have no vocabulary.  

[Lamb18]

I feel sorry for that bear in Cocaine Bear. I don't think it's funny that a bear gets addicted to cocaine.

I haven’t liked her since she pulled that Love, Actually stunt on ATFR. I hope she goes soon.

They need to have a shock collar/wristband  to train them all off using the word as a comma, it’s not a punctuation mark.

Apparently it is sort of based on a true story…except in real life, the poor bear overdosed and died quickly.

yeah, didn't Kylee lie to the girls when reporting her conversation with Zach? She made it seem like Z brought A up without any prompting!🤣

And all because A would not get up when K asked to steal Z?

 

Brooklyn's hair is ridiculous.

[Jules1]

Are they ever going to actually make a Senior Bachelor season, or just talk about it endlessly? They’ve been asking for “contestants “ for many seasons now. Or are older people just too smart to go on this show. 

[Crashcourse]

While I know some of the stories are sad, why do these women think sob stories are the key to Zach's heart?  Looking at you, Brooklyn.

Well, duh.  They get a rose.  I should have figured that out long ago.  LOL

Then they get dumped at the next rose ceremony.

Edited February 14, 2023 by Crashcourse

[Lamb18]

Brooklyn's tale left me a little misty. I did like seeing Zack's nostrils flare in concern.

Agree.   It often works to get the date rose, but can backfire long term.

What a great idea for a made-for-TV movie.  One by one they get bumped off.  Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None" applied to the reality show circuit.

They should just announce the lead is going to be Gabby’s grandpa, then maybe they’ll get takers.
