Hi! Can I participate too? I've never watched Bachelor or Bachelorette before but my friends sister is one of the girls that gets brought in later.
(Sister basically signed her life away and gave sister like next to no details so I won't have inside scoop but I'll actually be paying close attention)

Did Emily Maynard talk about religion? Sean was a born again virgin, and I’m sure that was religion related. Colton was a virgin, but I don’t think that was related to religion. Hannah B. and Luke P. had that whole conversation about pre-marital sex, but she had a LOT of sex. Remember the “I had sex and Jesus still loves me” quote? Madi Prewett left because Peter slept with two of the final 3. Some of that was related to her religion, but she barely spoke of it, at least on camera, until she was very far into the season. Tayshia wanted someone with similar beliefs as her, and she is a Christian. Matt prayed last night. His social media is very clear that his beliefs play a major role in his life. So... there has been a lot of discussion on the show recently about religion, but those conversations SHOULD be happening if they are really considering getting married. Arie is an atheist. I don’t think Kaitlyn has beliefs one way or the other. Andi and Jason are Jewish. There have been other religions beyond Christian, but it has become more of a conversation in recent seasons. This! I’m mad that the Ivan/Tayshia thing happened so late and off screen. More people need to talk about it especially when you have 8 weeks to make a decision.

No names stuck in my head but there are some truly gorgeous women on the show. I was disappointed that he kept that entitled, elitist 21 year old. I hope she’s gone soon. To me, it seemed like she was there to promote her brand, whatever that may be. Unless she is just deadpan all the time.

yeah the vibrator girl can go. I get it was a way to get him to remember her but carrying it around EVERYWHERE was a bit much. And touching that girl with it was just too far.

I feel like Victoria was a producers pick, not his. Absolutely Maybe Katie too. I was thinking the last two (Anna and Victoria) were producer picks — just kept for the drama and tears. Victoria acted drunk when she got out of the limo, and Anna gave off major clinger vibes. Seems to be the usual in recent seasons, at least early on. I also didn’t mind Kit, maybe only because she couldn’t stand the “queen” crap either. She’s not my favorite, but I can see why he’d keep her. She and Katie were both really condescending and full of themselves away from him, but didn’t really show Matt that attitude. Yet.

Rachel, Abigail, Chelsea, Kit and Mari will be in my picks until they grey out. Maybe Jessenia too, I’m trying to recall their interaction. I like Rachel, Abigail, Mari, Khaylah and Sarah after episode 1, based on his interest level. Chelsea and Sydney also stood out.

Cynthia Rowley is fairly well known already, though.

I didn’t realize the new season started, it didn’t record on my DVR. I’ll have to watch this weekend.

I agree that religion talk has a place on the show where the focus is supposedly finding someone to marry. It does seem overly Christian centric though. There was barely a mention about Arie being atheist or Jason being Jewish, if there’s ever been a Muslim contestant it certainly wasn’t given any airtime. I’d love to see more diversity in that way.

To be clear, I don't have any issue with religion talk. I am more concerned that it is seemingly becoming specific to one religion. But, maybe that won't hold true, IDK.

For the record i hear what you are saying and I hope that contestants feel the safe space to talk about any religion that they practice, especially if it’s important

Omg Victoria- you want to be the villain- we get it.

Victoria feels like an actress to me. Like she's playing a role. It's all very fake. From the way she interacts with others to the way she's dressed. It's all very satirical.

Everything about her feels very forced and disingenuous. My toddler woke up screaming and I missed the end. Is she still around?

One of the girls started blacking out during the rose ceremony, so it's a to be continued episode.

Including her makeup and sweatiness and bags under her eyes. Legitimately if she's not a producer plant, then the girl needs help because she's unhinged.

She is playing the villian because she knows they keep them around for awhile. She knew before she went she wasn't into him and wanted BIP and IG followers.

I can't wait for these early weeks to be over.
I still like Abigail, but liked Sarah too. I have a few I like, but I need to see them interact more.

I think the girl on the first date will be the final girl. What's her name, Bri? I like her.

I think Matt must have watched SNL to learn about the Bachelor.... every time one of the girls tells him something, his default response is “I like that”.
Also, I can’t understand why he would believe that QUEEN Victoria was bullied by meek little Marylynn! Is he really that bad at reading people?

I liked him day one but yesterday's episode he seemed monotone

What I find interesting is how Victoria then went around to everyone talking about how victimized she felt and all of the girls responded with, "by Marylynn?!?!" I was kind of hoping he would do what no bachelor has ever done and just call a meeting in the room, and be like, "what went down, who said what, what happened?" Instead he just took Victoria at her word and made Marylynn cry.

Although sometimes they do just hate someone (all the guys hating nick viall on Kaitlyns season) without that much reasoning. I felt bad for Marylynn, she went straight to acknowledging, apologizing and trying to understand. how mature. unfortunately the queen just wanted a fight not a resolution

Omg Victoria- you want to be the villain- we get it. “I’m not jealous, I just want what she has” 🙄 I just saw in one of my FB groups that she had an IG post with a Trump flag in the background (folded over a chair; so not totally obvious and I didn’t even know it was a trump flag until someone else asked). She took it down. But yeah I guess she is the villain, after that, lol. Also apparently Garrett just posted some word salad that just makes him look like a tool. I looked at the screen shots but I no longer follow him. Basically his usual pro-Republican, anti PC, and even now some anti vax BS. The more I see who he really is, the more I am like... Becca. Girl. Woof.

I really like Sarah. And only a little bit because she looks just like Alexis from Schitt’s Creek.
