[Mayadog]

Had to share - was on a flight today out of Dallas and while boarding saw one of the most beautiful men I have ever seen.  Thought he looked a lot like Marcus, but even cuter.  Then I realized it was him :)  THOSE EYES!!!

Gah!  Was he flying alone or was Lacy with him? 

[CindyBee]

I feel a tad bit sad that tonight is the finale of Bachelor in Paradise.   Have really enjoyed those that were there for the "right" reasons, those that were there for "wrong" reasons and most of all, the great fun the editors had with all the crazy!

 

So I'm going to pour myself a big ole glass of wine tonight and toast the official end of summer!

YOPO! {clinks glasses and drinks}

[leighdear]

I've got a brand new box of wine in my fridge, ready for tonight....Because seriously, no decent bottle should be uncorked for THIS....*LOL*

[Mayadog]

He was alone, headed into Orange County instead of LA.  He was looking at his phone with a big smile on his face, so maybe he and Lacy were chatting?  Man, he is pretty.  I got all flustered and almost forgot to keep moving down the aisle to my seat.  Can't wait to watch him, I mean the show, tonight!

[ramble]

I'm not really a drinker but I'll raise a glass of iced tea tonight to mark the end of such divine trash. *sniffle* With so many Bach rejects floating around I wish they would keep this going a little longer. I will miss it, especially Dr. Raccoon & his cadre of animal therapists.

Mayadog that's so cool that you got to see Marcus. I'm not sure I'd recognize any of these folks in person because I'm slightly goofy in that regard. Many years ago what seemed like half of the town I live in traveled south to a college bowl game. I was walking through the hotel where much of the gathering stayed & saw someone who looked familiar. I couldn't place him, but assumed I knew him, so I waved & kept walking. My friend pointed out that I'd just waved at one of our local TV weather anchors. No wonder he looked at me strangely. I'd probably think Marcus was someone I knew from the gym or something.

[leighdear]

I've decided to mix my boxed red wine with Crystal Light Raspberry Lemonade & pour it over ice....I call it Trailer Park Sangria....

[Roaster]

No new arrivals, no date cards, no rose ceremony?  Chris is asking them to be honest?  I don't know about this.

Cody seems like a good guy and I do like Michelle, but they DO NOT seem like a natural couple.  They are a vacation couple.  I doubt they would last a few days back in reality.

[JenE4]

What the hell?! It IS on?! My network (NY) has football on!! Don't you tell me my Bachelor in Paradise has just been pre-empted!!! Nooooooooo!!!!!!!!! God damn Giants, I hope they lose for what they're doing to me! (Runs sobbing into the jungle looking for a raccoon to vent to)

[CindyBee]

Michelle is such a good little worker bee, making sure to drive the drama that the producers want and need!

 

Oh that's terrible that football is on.  Saw on twitter that's its Detroit and NYC ABC affliates that aren't showing BiP.

Lions vs Giants is on ESPN here thank goodness.

I am surprised AshLee isn't jealous of Michelle's friendship with Graham. I also think Michelle is the official narrator and is told how to drive the plot line to increase drama.

[JenE4]

I am SO upset about this goddamned football game! I keep mumbling to myself that this is the saddest day ever, and my family is just looking at me like I'm crazy.

[CindyBee]

I know I shouldn't feel bad for AshLee but a small bit of me does.  Oh well, back to the  bachelor/ette dating circuit for her.  

[Armchair Critic]

Damn Bachelor franchise, you could have wrung more drama than that from AshLee's leaving. Booooo

[leighdear]

Sympathy and disdain aren't mutually exclusive, CindyBee....*LOL*   I feel sorry for her too, but still can't stand her & KNOW Graham dodged a huge bullet!

[Armchair Critic]

If all these women thought Graham was a catch then you would think he wouldn't have that hard of a time finding somebody. Even Michael Stagliano got married. But then again, what fun is it if it's not on television? I wonder if Michelle doesn't want Graham to find somebody?

[CindyBee]

So wait, that's it for Zack & Jackie and Tasos & Christy, a five second goodbye?!?

 

And stupid editors just gave away Michelle's decision with that coming up clip.

Or as a backup in case it doesn't work out with Cody

[TxMomof3]

I don't feel sorry for her....AshLee is scary! Graham is a hottie! Michelle needs to go home and take care of her daughter and stop coming on these shows...

[Armchair Critic]

 Great parenting there Michelle, getting advice from your child about a dating show. smdh

 

WHOA Lacey, did you get makeup lessons from Michelle (in the talking heads)? Harsh!

Edited September 9, 2014 by Armchair Critic

[CindyBee]

Couldn't someone help poor Lacy with her makeup for the overnight date??!   

 

And I'm now yelling at the TV every time Michelle mentions being a mother: YES WE KNOW!!!!

Edited September 9, 2014 by CindyBee

[aenea]

Dear God, please make Michelle shut up.

Did we ever see the handcuffs/blood on the floor scenes?

[Armchair Critic]

Sarah wants Robert to "dig deep" on the overnight date... get it girl!

[KR Vermont]

Sounds like maybe AshLee needs a narcissist to dote on, since she seems to think a relationship is about giving the man your all at the expense of what you may want...?

 

Lacy looks so much better without a ton of makeup glopped on like a circus troupe member. When she wears some weird, busy fashion choices with that makeup and gaudy jewelry, she reminds me of an elderly aunt or grandma type. At other times, a cheap street walker.

[bosawks]

Dear God, please make Michelle shut up.

Don't you mean, like, Dear, like, God, like, please, like, make Michelle, like, shut up......

[Roaster]

Cody is having to audition in the fantasy suite...what pressure.

[Armchair Critic]

and I have a feeling that not all parts of his body are as pumped up...

[CindyBee]

Cody is having to audition in the fantasy suite...what pressure.

 

I know!  Poor guy, having to put out to get a chance in the real world!

[TiredMe]

Wow this show hit an all time low (that's hard to do) with Michelle discussing poor CodyCode's penis size.

[Roaster]

Michelle is really sore and totally satisfied!

[Armchair Critic]

WTF? Michelle is sore? some people are trying to eat while watching the show...

[Roaster]

Sarah is such a spoilsport.

[Armchair Critic]

AWKWARD, Sarah is pissed she didn't get any. Robert is trying to act nonchalant while the others are practically bragging about their great sex.

 

(why isn't my post showing up? argh)

Hope her daughter skips this part.

 

And Sarah's monotone voice is driving me nuts!

[leighdear]

Poor Sarah....Obviously Robert wouldn't put out for her....Jeans under the covers?  What a dud.  I think he even beat Marquel in the Dud Olympics. 

Edited September 9, 2014 by leighdear

[Armchair Critic]

If I had the choice of sleeping or listening to Sarah's voice all night I would be acting like I was passed out too. How much did Cody pay Michelle to tell everybody that he is hung and a great lover?

 

Robert is upset? How do you not understand what somebody wants when they are trying to remove your jeans? You know he was looking for an excuse to leave...

Edited September 9, 2014 by Armchair Critic

[CindyBee]

Robert seems like a good guy be he was soooo not into Sarah.

[KR Vermont]

Geez, Sarah. She was fine with her night with Robert until she heard about everyone else's amaaaazing night of intimacy. Let a growing relationship breathe (even though the show is pressuring otherwise). Comparing yourself to others and what they have usually doesn't work out well. Self-doubt is a b*tch.

Edited September 9, 2014 by KR Vermont

[Armchair Critic]

I have a feeling Michelle was strategizing with Cody instead of having great sex. I can see her making a deal with him that she will tell everybody what a great lover he is if he stays with her to the end of this game.

Edited September 9, 2014 by Armchair Critic

[Shugardrawers]

I actually feel bad for Sarah.  And Robert acting like he has no idea why she's sad?  Come on!  You KNOW what's expected of you in the FS!  Who wears jeans under the cover unless he's NOT "up" to the challenge?  

[Roaster]

Sarah had one disappointing night (for her, not for him) and she calls it quits?  This show puts people in aritificial situations, of course, but how often do you see a woman on national TV crying about not getting sex?

[Armchair Critic]

What a surprise, Sean showed up. Does he have a job outside shilling for the Bachelor franchise?

[FlyingEgret]

How could anyone (Sean) wear a completely buttoned-up shirt in that sauna?

[BubblingKettle]

I agree that there's no reason to rush these "relationships."  But it was fantasy suite night, so everybody knows what that means (wink, wink)....and so did Robert.  If he wanted to continue to take things slow and leave his jeans on, then he should have communicated that to Sarah.  The expectation of sex is the elephant in the room (er, fantasy suite), so he should have used some common sense and had the balls to have that conversation with Sarah.  

 

And he didn't work too hard to change her mind during the dumping, either.  I'm no fan of Sarah, but it looks like she might have dodged a non-communicative bullet.

For all we know they may have talked about it and Sarah was fine with having a platonic sleep-over until she heard the others talking about what they did all night. That could be why Robert was so confused.

Or, the producers just needed a little more drama for the finale...

You are right, FlyingEgret.  I had a moment of senility and forgot that the Bachelor franchise loves to edit and twist details!!  If only the Raccoon was in the episode.  He could have figured all of this out for Sarah.

[Roaster]

I just wish they could find a mate for that Racoon.

[KR Vermont]

Either Marcus is about to propose, or he ate some bad food...where's that ambulance? haha

I just wish they could find a mate for that Racoon.

Look at the franchise record of finding mates for the humans, though... ;)
