Finally watching last week’s episode. I love Michael A, he seems sweet and genuine and mature.
It was a really emotional episode overall. I’m pleasantly surprised with how much I’m enjoying this season so far.

Yesterday was just too much. How do we have a 2 hour episode and only one date yes it was too much for sure! If only the entire episode kept pace with the day part of the group date that played first.

I agreed with Andrew about the drama. It was so much. And, while I agree that Thomas is a douche, I had so much second hand embarrassment for how Katie dismissed him. It was cringe.

I also thought it was super annoying to hear the dudes talking about her being manipulated. Like....how about she is a grown adult woman and let her make her own mind up? The whole "the house" hive mind is obnoxious.

She clearly is into Blake and probably was before the show so I hate they are bringing him in

angelashly,I agree. I don't like someone getting brought in later that we at least know will go far. It kind of ruins the dating part of it for me and seems set up. Save it for paradise if needed.

Bachelor Nation contestants seem to end up with Bachelor Nation contestants lately anyway so date off camera and stop wasting people's time. No wonder everyone is coming on the show now for IG and to become a part of Bachelor Nation there isn't anything real anymore.

They should have just dated off the show But then she wouldn't have gotten to be the Bachelorette and get more fame. Like honestly the fact that she and even the eyerolls from Tayshia and Kaitlyn and the rest of the guys about Thomas admitting he thought of becoming the Bachelor. He was the only honest one out of all of them for saying that.

Tre wasted his whole time with her talking about Thomas. Just trust her. Also, Blake being locked out was hilarious!

If Blake dropped into her DMs and she was interested (curious, even) how is her becoming the Bachelorette any different than what Thomas owned up to having considered? Like SHE herself was not a springboard for him, but the opportunity sure could be and he'd be lying if he didn't think "hey if it doesn't work out, any one of us could end up as a Bachelor" - why'd they have to turn him into some kind of monster for it? Sure all these guys are altruistic, sure, Jan.
And Katie's the one who used the term ostracized, the house hive picked up on that and automatically ascribed the word to Thomas - rude. They're all being manipulative at this point, they want so-and-so out, so they tell Katie they're just looking out for her best interest - knowing her vulnerability is someone using her. Annoying.
I like Blake, I guess, but I wish he'd shown up at the beginning. I echo y'all saying they shouldn't let people just show up late because they think they can either join the cast, or get enough airtime to get themselves to Paradise or some such (see also: Minivan Heather in Matt's season). OVER IT. Stop it, BN, stop it.

It was the first time I thought Katie was a total bitch for the sake of making a point. It really turned me off. And don’t get me started on Blake, ugh. Each episode I like Andrew more, I’m still rooting for Ivan to be the next bachelor but I wouldn’t mind Andrew either.

It seems like every episode, a group of guys find one guy that needs to go home and then they spend all their time and energy to get said guy out. Each time I turn it on, it's like "alright... who's getting picked this time?" instead of actually watching it and enjoying it.

I also really didn't like the eating challenges. The idea of eating 5400 calories to "impress" someone... like why?
Plus I really don't like watching other people eat.

Why did Andrew have the British accent while doing the whispering in the ear part? He doesn't normally right? I don't think I heard it any other time.

He did it as a joke when he first got out of the limo. I think because he played overseas he was able to fake the accent well.

Those that have seen Blake on previous seasons, do we like him? What are the overall thoughts? Does he seem to be there to actually try to find love or just be on tv?

I don't think I did. He was really into Clare and then Tayshia when she came but not really because he was mad at Clare and he hung out with Chris because he went to see Tayshia, but went to the wrong room (that was him right)

Blake had a one on one and she sent him home then. I thought he was sincere during Claire/Tayshia’s season.

The Bachelor(ette)/ABC loves the drama of people showing up late. It's all staged, made from drama, and so stupid.
I was pretty neutral on Blake before, I'm trying to be open minded now.

Did y’all talk about all the bachelors people that took PPP loans? Nick (and Reddit) is ripping them up.
So, far, it Arie and Lauren, Colton, Tayshia, and maybe someone else I’m forgetting.
