Who even gives a flying fuck if the new girl was an escort. Shaming sex work (or adjacent) just makes you an asshole. (By "you" I mean the girls on the show.)
I only watched half last night but I felt really bad for the new girls coming in. Victoria is obviously the worst, but a lot of the "OGs" were such jerks. As a whole, this group of women isn't impressing me. I do like Serena (the one he had a one on one with), Bri, and Katie. I don't see Matt picking Katie, but I think she will go to Paradise. I also like new girl Michelle.

So apparently I'm diving head first into this bachelor stuff and I just started season 3 of bachelor in paradise and this Lace chick reminds me of Cecily Strong from SNL when she's doing one of her ridiculous characters. ETA: she reminds of The Girl You Wish You Didn't Start A Conversation With At A Party LOL I remember Lace. She is something else.

So I listened to Blake (Becca’s season)‘a podcast today. He had Becca on it.
Y’all know I have always shipped Becca and Blake.
But damn, they were so cute on the podcast! I still ship it! They were laughing the whole time!

I actually liked the new girl Michelle Bri and Abigail are my top 2 still so far I love Michelle! She seems so down to earth and they appear to have a genuine connection.

First black bachelor gets catty women Cool * I’m hoping I’m wrong and we will get to see the real bachelor type dates and get rid of the Victoria and Anne’s this week

I also find it really annoying that every black contestant has to (or feels like they have to) lead with hard conversations about blackness (hair, george floyd, etc), while the white women are just totally oblivious. They should be initiating these conversations too, but instead we just get to see them talk about whatever they feel like and then someone like Chelsea (who seems super interesting) we don't get to see that side of her personality. it feels a certain way that only the black women are left to conduct the hard conversations, and basically the job of explaining how all of ::this:: feels.
I know the conversations are important and we need to see them I just think there is something unfair about the way it's happening. I dunno if I'm articulating that correctly but it was giving me pause that not a single white woman has even broached the topic yet.

angelashly , I feel like abigail sort of went there while discussing her hearing loss, but otherwise... nada Exactly. I loved that she said I was surprised I made it past night one since I usually don't.
It just shows that the show picks these young white women who haven't experienced life or if they have they don't talk about it. They need to go back to the first couple seasons. The drama will still show up even picking women with age and maturity because of the setting and the fact that they are all dating the same person.

I know it's been talked about in threads about past seasons too, but like you're all saying, the cattiness and drama is ridiculous. I've noticed a trend over the past few years where it's becoming more prevalent. They're clearly casting for the drama views, and while those kinds of shows have a place (see BIP, "dating" shows on WE, VH1, etc), The Bachelor/ette was always more serious, even if only a small number made it down the aisle. The shift has been so much more obvious with Tayshia and Matt. There is so much immature BS going on mixed with these really serious heavy conversations. I'd much rather watch that than a bunch of catty airheaded white women (or men).

I agree that’s it’s going downhill and is now almost unwatchable. I think it really started with Luke in Hannah’s season and then Peter’s season was a whole hot mess.

I think it's so funny that we're supposed to believe that he has ANY interest at all in Victoria. They have negative chemistry and his eyes glaze over when she talks. He's not making out with her like the others.
I saw a tweet that someone posted that said "Why does Anna talk like she's waiting for her teeth to dry?" and that is SO accurate. I can't look at her and not just think TEEEEEEEEEEEEEETH.
Michelle was awesome. I couldn't stop looking at her arms. Jeals.

I can’t wait until the women tell all to see Victoria get her ass handed to her. The group mentality is what is getting her *any* credit with the other girls (who are also being assholes) but I would bet they won’t continue to agree with her or defend her after the season is over, after watching how it played out.

Victoria has said in recent interviews, including GMA, (wtf), that she doesn’t regret anything that she’s done or said because she was “just kidding.”

Part of being funny is having people be in on the joke...I don't think anyone is laughing at her mean girl shenanigans (except equally awful Anna).

Delayed watching. Matt walked in at the start and H said “he does not look like he even wants to be there.” Then he made me rewind to watch him walk in again. H couldn’t stop laughing.

I just started because my kids refused to sleep tonight. Good riddance Anna. I hope he puts a stop to all this behavior from everyone.
Her fake tears, fake apology, and downplaying the situation piss me off.
