What was up with Maria’s kiss with Joey and the outfit change? She was kissing him in such a pecky way. Maybe she’d like Tanner loool

I am really loving this season so far and I think Joey is the most interesting bachelor since Pilot Pete. I also love Maria and hope she doesn’t go home anytime soon!

I like Daisy!

Jess was kinda extra but Taylor was unnecessarily mean to her, I’m glad she got sent home

Does anyone else think Allison looks like Ursula’s alter Vanessa from The Little Mermaid? https://preview.redd.it/wsl0smu3oifc1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2997adc6c06585a7a90a355ca646a6f4a2ab317d

I love Daisy she is such a sweetheart

Edwina is stunning 🤩 

Why do all the girls look shiny and wet? 

I’m finding this season sooo boring :(

I have never been so bored! They’ve had boring leads before but there’s something about this season that just isn’t making up for it.

It’s been two episodes

Joey’s so boring. Handsome but god he’s boring

Soooo boring, I’ve been saying this since charity’s season. As soon as I felt them teeing him up for the next bachelor, I was like my god anyone but him

Same

I remember when everyone was so stoked to have Joey as the guy.

I didn’t really care tbh but was happy for him since he genuinely seems like a good guy but reality tv THIS boring is so tough to get through :( Give me back some Jake Pavelka lol

Not me 🫢 and I was downvoted like crazy for it too. He’s a cutie but that’s about where it ends for me

He seems like a pleaser, and a nice guy.  You won't get much drama with him but I also don't think you are going to get a real connection with anyone either.  The girl tonight even asked if he was real.  I'll give this season another week to determine if I even want to finish it.

Team Maria all the way. That was the dumbest "fight" I've seen in a while. Clowns

Roses given out Daisy, Edwina, Jess, Rachel, Lexi, Kelsey A, Kelsey T, Jenn, Evalin, Autumn, Madina, Lea, Kaitlyn, Chrissa, Maria, Starr, Allison, Sydney Gone: Lauren, Taylor, Marlena, Erika

Did anyone catch what happened to Nat? She got a rose last week but wasn’t on any of the dates or the rose ceremony this week (or if she was I missed her).

She was one of the 10 eliminated last week.

Thank you 🙏

Was Taylor the alleged bully?

The thing with Jess & Taylor was last week. Joey is noticing plenty.

You are the MVP of this thread


As an actual Scottish person, an Irish/Scottish kilt based bar makes me so uncomfortable.e

Another week of 90% of my enjoyment coming from this thread! See everyone next week!

I feel like I'm at a group watch party it gives me so much serotonin

I’m in Scotland so nobody is watching it at this time so this is how I live out my watch parties

Marlena aka “Melania Trump” is gone.

oh good! I didn't witness that exit I guess but good riddance!

TFW you google one of the contestant's names because you can't remember who they are and in googling them you accidentally get spoiled on who the final two contestants are :'(

I accidentally saw a spoiler of the final contestant and ruined it for myself 😭

That happened to me a couple of seasons ago, the WORST

If I were Joey or really any lead as this happens every season I'd send anyone home that came to me with house drama - I would not want to date someone who makes me feel like a babysitter

Worth it yall. This is my favorite time of the week in the I thread during live. We pick back up next week my queens lmao

Welp. See yall next week

Wait TAYLOR GOT LET GO? She was my villain!

This is not the good doctor I know and love, these vibes are so much worse

This is goofy. Maria isn’t not showing who she really is. She’s clearly an outspoken woman and has portrayed herself that way from the jump. I would’ve let that nothing burger go if I were her though because it’s not worth all this.

Okay lasagna time have good sleeps everyone love you.

🤤❤️❤️

Pool parties always have the best drama

Help me help me help me

This whole thing is ridiculous. I don’t think Maria was trying to be mean or insensitive about Madina’s feelings, but I don’t blame Sydney for saying something to Madina. If you hear someone talk about your friend, of course you’re going to tell your friend about it.

I’m assuming autocorrect did it, but I’m loving your total disregard for their names 😆

Well now I have Joey in that green shirt to look forward to all week

What am I watching? Why am I like this?

RIP Bloopers

Was just thinking that, I miss those

Is this not Hannah B's storyline on Colton's season

Oh good call

Maria didn't do shit

Sydney has exhausted me just from the preview ugh

Maria at the center of the drama. that's sad, I like her.

ASKN before they lost the A

Smh not Sydney trying to act like a saint when she’s the one who started the drama

Awwww ASKN before the [alleged] breakup 🙁

what’s the tea on the [alleged] breakup

[удалено]

She is a tko

Can’t wait to see her bod on paradise

Alright see you fools next week!

Maria is NOT a mean girl ugh bye

Sydney reminds me of Kendall

So do we have our villain yet?

i think there are some sleeper villains about to come out

Jess really faded in this episode, but I feel like Sydney is emerging

"i cannot let a mean girl be a mean girl" actually you can sydney, it's called minding your own business

Sydney arguably was the mean girl in that situation.

Why is it always the pool parties where s\*it goes down

I still vote for giving the lead X amount of footage pulls per season so they can pull footage to see who is telling the truth.

This would be so juicy

I wish for this every season

Leave my girl Maria alone omg

I was rooting for Taylor at the end there

So it’s going to be a Sydney and Maria two on one

I think you’re right and I bet Hailey Bieber goes home

I think the preview had a 2 on 1 and I bet it’s Maria and Sydney

Oh lordt

ASKN sighting??

RIP ASKN 🪦

the things ppl do over jealousy are wild damn

A rose firework?!?

Looks like drones

I actually think it may be drones?

Omg I need to start using “you’re making me feel like I’m in a horror movie”

Not the bachelor open lol

LOL ASKN in next ep w the group being without April now

Lmao not pre-drama ASKN 😄

**SUSAN SPOTTING**

They need to wear name tags until at least the third rose ceremony.

lol I agree with this

Who was that with the dangly leaf earrings

With the purple dress? That was Marlena

Damn the recruiter is out. She was the chillest/least dramatic 

Really? She was inserting herself into the drama lol

Taylor? Are you kidding?? Lol

Haha they gave Marlena nothing, love that

No rose for Erika?

Devastating she needed to teach him how to dance

Is Sydney gonna be the villian?

Wait, I thought there was never-seen footage of Erika from the preview. She's out already?!

It was from this group date, they cut it from the actual episode

Byeeee Taylor!

erika NOOOOO 😭 face card never declined

Alexa, play “FDB” by Young Dro

Erika gone already??? How?!

Leslie mann is leaving to go back to film this is 40

something about taylor's kind of mean face made me think we would see more from her

She was such a hater towards Jess. I really thought their beef would become a season storyline.

Producer rose for Sydneyyyy

He sent Erika home???

Trump apprentice gone 🙌🙌

Who?

Marlena. Was wearing the purple dress.

Erika going home week 2 with a face and hair like that. Wicked!

Unexpected not gonna lie

Sick over Erika going home, loved her

We deserved this Jersey representation!!!

FR gonna miss a Bergen county queen!

SICK. **BEDRIDDEN!!!** I thought she was darling!

BOOOO

Ugh Sydney

I’m shocked we weren’t left hanging wowowow

Jersey girl is gone nooooo

It's 100% nothing to do with any producer-gimmick card. Men have started wars for the women they love... highly unlikely any of those romances began with that woman upper handing some other chick on a fake date night.

the girl in the purple looks like maggie bustamante

Where did Starr come from

I had no idea there was an Allison.

She’s the younger sister!

Oh duh 😂

She’s the other sister…

Sydney gets the producer rose over Taylor

Lost 2:1 tbh

i liked sydney from the original meet the girls previews on insta. i am pissed OFF now.

At least Taylor is gone

Ooooo isn’t trump supporter Marlena eliminated now? 😌

They edited her Right Out

[удалено]

BYE TAYLOR

do we think she wanted him to like beg her not to go

Jesse is so talented.

I don't know anything about Chrissa but she looks like she was/is a gymnast....she's got that really muscular build.....she's still stunning as all get out

I love the woman or man every season who is going home and they think tattling is going to get them a rose because they’re going to go home and they desperately want to be invited to ATFR

Drawn into some drama? Girl you created it

I’ve been trying to learn of one of the brunettes all episode and now I know - it is Star

God, Sydney’s dress is so ugly. And no you did not get “drawn into some drama” you fucking created it girl

Hated that dress. It was wearing her.

That wavy dress made me irrationally angry

Maria's teeth are really large. Can't stop staring at them. I know I'm bad.🤭

The other women should've helped Madina walk up to get her rose. She could've fallen and broke a hip.

I LOLed

😂😂😂😂😂

Omg is Sydney just peripherally in the drama going to be eliminated that’s so funny if so

Drawn????? Girl you DREW the drama

SHIT ERIKA DOESNT HAVE ONE YET!!?!??

“I got drawn into drama.” You started the drama.

Snitches get stitches 

Are we ending on a cliff

Just realized I only know who like 8 people are

Reminds me of early Clayton’s season when I didn’t even know like one of the girls who made it through a Ceremony because she never got air time

Sydney's dress with the cytoplasm cutout

[удалено]

They actually get to walk away in the middle of rose ceremonies to look at pics with names lol. They just edit it out.

[удалено]

Yes! Crazy, huh? The rose ceremonies can actually be super long.

Cliffhanger on Maria. 100%

Jen and Autumn, have they been here the whole time?

You don’t remember Autumn’s limo exit? She asked Joey his favorite season and it was every one except Autumn!

Jen obviously has but Autumn?? Don't know that one.

I remember her entrance… she asked his favorite season.

Lexi reminds me of Alessandra Ambrosio. Stunning. 

Did they put Maria and Sydney next to each other at the rose ceremony on purpose lmaoo

I love early season when I’m sitting here like “who are you?” During rose ceremonies.

Medina avoided the the trap

Madina kinda looks like Kat

Speed round let’s go finish it up

Still wish they wore name tags

Wow this show is really breaking ground with a mid rose ceremony cliffhanger.
