I don't watch The Bachelor or Bachelorette but damn, Bachelor in Paradise is my crack. It's so campy. Perfect summer brainless TV. Love it.

Unless you're one of the people who post on the PreviouslyTV forum, who love to analyze the "rules" of this stupid show way too closely. Like, to the point that someone just suggested that any couples who actually like each other and want to date should leave the show. WTF? What do they think they'd be watching if the people just left the show on their own?

It's not just Football Fantasy anymore. ABC And ESPN have joined up their respective demographics to bring you....

Bachelor Fantasy Game. Pick your final 4, make guesses on that week's episode, and see who wins.

For the record, I have: Raven, Jaimi, Christen, and Jasmine G. as my Final 4. Our group's name is: Maythehorsebewithyou (No, I did not name it.)

On the opposite side, Nick is... not my type, and seems the sleaziest Bachelor yet. However, that should make for extra-trashy TV in the dead of winter.

Is it me or are the Bachelors getting progressively less cute?

It seems that Unreal is pretty close to real. Is it really surprising something like this happened? They cast the least mentally stable people from The Bachelor/ette and encourage them to drink and have sex while their handlers/producers relentlessly stoke their emotions. I doubt this is the first time a castmember, male or female, had sex when they were too drunk to give consent. It's just the first time someone made a stink about it.

I watched the Bachelorette off and on this season, prior to this season, I've never watched a Bachelor/Bachelorette season.

Not sure if I'll be tuning into other seasons, mainly because this one was so uncomfortable to watch. Especially the portion with Dean and his family, it almost felt invasive and that the Producers really should have not shown the conversation with Dean and his dad, just out of respect. When the show is over, these are still people who have to live their lives and try to maintain some type of relationship with each other (hopefully).

And then the Peter and Rachel break-up, eeeek. Their break up seemed so similar to me and my boyfriend, except... we dated for two years and me asking for a more solid footing on our future made much more sense than Rachel asking for Peter to propose after 6 weeks. Honestly, the episodes I was able to watch, it always seemed like she had more of a connection with Peter then any of the other men on the show or maybe that's how the show wanted to paint it? But i just don't understand how Rachel could cry her eyes out one night and beg him to change his mind, and say yes to a marriage proposal to Bryan the next day.

As for who should be the next the next Bachelor? My vote is Asian Blake. Peter is much too realistic about relationships to fall in love and propose to a woman in six weeks.

I’m watching my first ever episode of this show because I have a friend on it. She’s one of the four Laurens, but I think she’s out after the first rose ceremony so this will probably also be my last episode to watch.

This Arie guy is...meh.

Ooh, interesting! Which Lauren and did she end up getting cut last night? I fell asleep through most of the rose ceremony so I didn't see if any Laurens made it through.

DID ANYONE WATCH TONIGHT’S EPISODE?

I caught the very last hour of the show tonight and apparently it’s the UNEDITED version of Arie breaking up with Becca. WTH!? I don’t even know who Arie had chemistry with or if what he’s doing makes sense but really? You had to break up with her in front of the cameras? You didn’t have the decency to do it off camera?

And every time she told him to “Get out” or “Leave” and he would just stay there! Like what are you waiting for? Her magically to look up and tell you she’s okay. Grrrrrr! Oh! And when she’s clearly crying in the bathroom and he knocks on the door and asks “are you okay?”

And if the Bachelor thinks I’m going to watch tomorrow to see Becca lay into Arie tomorrow... they’re totally right. You bet your ass I’m going to be sitting on my couch in time for the Bachelor tomorrow.

I don't watch this show on the regular, but tuned in to the last half hour because it was trending and my friend had told me about the drama when it was spoiled last week. The unedited footage was super boring. Please edit that garbage to make it watchable. And for most of the last 10 minutes I just kept thinking, "Bitch, LEAVE. She asked you to go 20 times." Part of me kept thinking her tears were more about being embarrassed than losing this Bachelor, because he seems like a drip, but he needed to GTFO either way.

Can you tell I stopped watching after the first night? That’s because my Lauren was the only Lauren cut the first night. She gave him Mardi Gras beads when she got out of the limo. She and the other girls cut the first night have an insta group—the Rosé Girls. And she is currently dating a gorgeous guy who doesn’t buy roses individually wrapped.
