angelashly, UUUUUUUUUGH YES. So stupid, and his bullshit explanation was so nonsensical. Boy, bye. Oh see I was irritated at everyone else especially the producers Was the stuff with Chelsea wrong? Yes but also not different than others have done. And Chelsea was making out with him too. And the producers set him up no doubt

Oh, yeah, I don't disagree - I was annoyed at the entire thing. It isn't even about the Chelsea stuff (and she can give me a break with her "I was having intense feelings for Aaron" line, that's some terrible acting) - it was about him sneaking out to meet Alexa who hadn't even gotten to the beach yet. (and they're apparently together IRL now?!) I do feel like if producers gave him that info outright, he'd be super quick to throw them under the bus, but who even knows. They (producers) play too much

They set him up that description sure does sound like a set up. I must have missed that the producer left the phone in the room; I thought producer was there and Ivan was sneaky. Also, how did the screen stay on? I know if I set my phone down, it goes dark (and locks) in no time flat.

Cool Aaron went over to Ivan first

Yes, the Ivan/hotel/producer thing was stupid. How dumb do they think we are? But, I am annoyed with him for lying to everyone about Chelsea and who pulled who. I mean, the truth was always going to come out, whether it was her telling everyone or people watching the show. Did he forget about the cameras? Was rooting for him this season, but the lying is a no-go for me.

And can I just rage on Natasha’s behalf again this week? How does this poor woman keep getting screwed like this? I feel for her so much.
And as much as I am mad at the men in all of these situations, I am also pissed at the other contestants. Cheering on Ed in front of her? Like WTF? I am so glad she put Serena in her place.
😡

PandaWatch, did you see Serena's face when Natasha turned back and was like yeah, it's great - or whatever her words were - I LOL'd and had to rewind to watch again LOL I feel badly for Natasha, she has been through it this season, like a placeholder, and that sucks. Hopefully she finds herself someone off-camera.

I realized pretty early on that Joe and Serena are 12ish years apart but how did I just realize that Mari and Kenny are FIFTEEN years apart? That seems like a HUGE gap to me. Maybe because he lacks the maturity of a 40 year old?

Is there something wrong with James that I'm just not getting? I mean he is so super hot and really beefy. He seems really nice and genuine. How does he keep getting bounced around?

pitchslap there isn't much to pick up on about him, aside from what you see physically and his bromance with Aaron. I wonder if maybe his personality is bro-bland.

I was really uncomfortable with how Ed would not take no for an answer. Like dude. She is literally saying she’d rather go home than on a date with you. Let her. 🤨

I haven’t watched yet, I’ll watch tonight.
But honestly I tend to lose interest in every season by the last few episodes. It’s like any new comers obviously aren’t going to get to engaged to someone they just met 2 or 3 days ago, so it seems silly to keep bringing them on. And then there are the couples that have been together since basically the beginning. It just gets a little boring for me.
I feel like in the beginning you didn’t have to get engaged. You could just give a final rose instead of a ring. I liked that better.
I actually think this season is one of my least favorites.

I don't get how Chelsea can be too mad at Aaron. I mean it wasn't very nice of him but she kind of did the same thing with Ivan. Granted Ivan pulled her but they did makeout and Chelsea basically hid after it and didn't tell Aaron about it.
Maybe I'm just grouchy after having to watch all 3 hours of it...

jubilantsquirrel, OMG YES YES YES - the push for, or even having a goal of getting engaged by the end of the show is RIDICULOUS! It's what? Three months at most?! I have considered that I'm really hate-watching it this year, I haven't enjoyed it for the most part, I just pick at everything they do wrong. Maybe I'll skip it next year, and stick to Love on the Spectrum which I adore.

I was so mad at how Chelsea came off as the victim last night. She said something to Ivan when he was at the bar and he said yeah I was going to see if you wanted to talk so yes he pulled her, but I wonder if she had said something before that. They talked about how they had talked before and she friend zoned him but then said she didn't want to and then made out with him so both she and Ivan were super shady about it all. Plus didn't she go on a date with Demar? or am I confusing her with someone else? I am not saying Ivan wasn't wrong, but she wasn't innocent either.

I don't Bachelor/Bachelorette very often anymore but this made me laugh and I thought you'd all enjoy it. (You have to click into the photos to see the captions).

I really think part of my distaste for this and other recent seasons is the blatant producer interference. It's really fallen down the ranks to trashier reality shows, to me. Not that there isn't a market for that, The Bachelor(ette) and offshoots were just marketed as being a little more "serious"
I want to have high hopes for Michelle's season because they're making it look so glam, but I don't want to be let down again either

I’m so mad about the Ivan stuff it was stupid When Wells was like “you understand why this is a huge problem” I was like… no? ETA: with regard to the hotel stuff. It was very obviously a producer setup. I’m not scandalized in the least.

I just got done watching, and seeing Kendall come down again in the previews for next week just made me angry. At this point can’t the producers just let it be?? I’m not her biggest fan, but I’m also not fully convinced that she’s single-handedly saying “I wanna stay here and walk down the stairs right when Joe is about to give a final rose/propose/whatever to Serena.”* *I don’t actually know if that happens, just speculation based on preview editing.

I’m watching now.
Next season we need to make a drinking game and add “a storms a brewing” to it. I swear it gets said approximately 11 million times every season.

No one on this season understands how paradise works.
It is ok for a person you’re interested in to hit it off with someone else and move on from you.
It is ok for people to already have someone in mind when they arrive in Paradise.
It is ok for people to go on dates with new people.
It’s obviously not cool to lie, but no one owes you anything on this show (meaning the dudes don’t need to stay away from a girl just because another dude is interested in her and vice versa).
It’s not ok to be in a relationship when you get to paradise, even if that person is also in paradise.
It’s shitty to use people to get a rose just so you can stick around for a specific person who hasn’t arrived yet.
It’s not ok to lie about past interactions with other contestants prior to paradise.
