Bachelorette Season 14---or Becca's Revenge tour

[Catherine M]

Dreams do come true as Ashley and Jared are now engaged:

I can totally see them getting a TV wedding as she is very popular with Fleiss and company.

What is this show after the Bachelor? The Proposal? Wasn’t Fleiss’s first show something like this?

Yeah The Proposal is like Fleiss' first show, Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire. I was actually kinda surprise to see that most of the contestants seemed pretty normal. I guess most did the show for fun and a free trip to LA on ABC's dime. The guy, I think his name was Mark, seems like a nice guy so it was good to see he and Monica were still together.

Last night's ep. Jordan continues to delight and amaze. When he was talking about his shirt collar, tie or no tie and remarked, that it shows he "can go both ways" -- hoo ha. Kudos to editors for showing restraint in not using that sound bite out of context. The way Jordan goes in for a hug is so awkward. Like, he dives his head into Becca's neck, like a toddler.

I'm glad Jean luc is gone, he made me uncomfortable from the beginning. Can't believe Jordan is there but not the globetrotter. I bet hair and make up are sick of becca's talking. She has be come one of the most uninteresting people on tv. And funny how it looks like one of the guys broke a finger on the group date but no footage or mention of it. You can fall out of a bunk bed on your face and get camera time. I think this show is jinxed with injuries.

 

[Rob]

I liked Globetrotter a lot, nice eyes, no air time though.

I don't like anyone who says, "I feel confident that I did enough to get a rose." (Of course, that is probably producer manipulation: "Christon, do you feel confident that you did enough to get a rose? Please answer in a complete sentence for the camera.")

Becca is kind of boring.

These dates suck and are more about tourism paid sponsorship than ever before. Schlepping from Vegas to Virginia? VA is for lovers, gag. In Ashley's season they had the guys building a house for Habitat for Humanity. They should do something like that again, something worthwhile.

I cannot believe they dredged up the mummified Wayne Newton for a SECOND lyrics-writing date. First Richard Marx, then Wayne Newton, and I suppose we can look forward to their exhuming Cole Porter next time.

Loved Becca's snark on Jordan.
J (with excited gleam in his eyes): I wish someone could bring you my portfolio!
B (rolls eyes and sarcastic): please.

 

[Rob]

Wayne Newton looked terrible. Of course, they had to have a perform for a crowd date, but that was ridiculous.
Richmond, VA? No offense to my neighbor state, but what a dream destination! Actually, there is a great hotel there - the Jefferson.

I hope the producers have talked Peter Kraus into being the Bachelor because I don't see anyone I really want to watch for several months.

I figure the only options from this season are Blake, Wills and Jason (if Becca isn't with one of them). Others haven't got enough screen time / good enough edits / have various scandals. And Jason probably doesn't even have enough screen time yet, but at least these guys are getting good edits. Of course this could change in the next few weeks.

I wouldn't be shocked if it was Blake, mostly because he's so far scandal-free and it seems like he may go quite far. I like him enough so far.

But yes please to Peter.

If anyone is interested in seeing who will be looking for love on some random beach in Mexico starting on August 7th, the cast of Bachelor in Paradise has been released except for the guys that are still on Becca's season and those that are not part of the original cast:

I think this is a first for Fleiss where someone that went on night one, Grocery Store Joe is going to be the "lead" on a season of BiP as usually the night oners are afterthoughts.

The return of Kenny...
Everyone looks great in these photos, even David.

 

[Rob]

Good riddance to Chris and Lincoln. Aggressive/lying/drama nonsense.
Jason, Wills, and even Colton made good cases for themselves for the Bachelor if they aren't with Becca.
Foreshadow of Blake drama next week, wonder if it is fake drama for the preview.
Garrett is not coming off in editing to be like his social media scandal would suggest.
I liked Leo on his date. Should be a good promo for his stuntman/acting career.

 

[just tuned in]

Random thoughts:
Does the cast get paid a bonus every time they say a state's tourism tagline?
Feel so sorry for the donut company that got short-changed on time in lieu of the creepy goth party.
Abraham Lincoln, wow, that is a look.
Add "I've got another surprise for you" to the drinking game.

 

[Bonita]

Why is Becca keeping Leo around? I have more chemistry with my cat!

I read the spoiler and know who won. I'm watching this more as a background show to watch while I buff my feet.

I can't wait to see some of the fools in BIP. I actually grew to like Jordan.

 

[MacMadame]

I read some articles to find out who won and now I'm wondering what Lincoln's criminal past is. I don't remember you guys talking about that here and the article was really about something else so didn't go into that.

Information on Lincoln and his indecent sexual assault conviction:

The Washington Post has a good read on how Ashley Spivey, from Brad 2.0's season, broke both the Lincoln and Garrett stories:

I watched the Proposal once. It was dumb IMHO. Never will watch again.

How does Lincoln get time off the show to attend 3 AA meetings per week which is his probationary term?

This was all filmed from March to early May; Lincoln wasn't sentenced till late May so he wasn't under any rulings during filming.

Aw, I was going to say there is probably an onsite meeting in the production area. Bad joke, sorry.

 

[Rob]

Well they couldn't resist leaving someone stranded on a beach, could they? Leo will have fun in Paradise and enjoy increased exposure for his stunt/soft porn movie career.

My DVR quit at 11 so I didn't get the end of the eppy due to the Kavanaugh announcement.

 

[Winnipeg]

There is something a tad odd about the whole need to advise Becc re the virginity thing? I think she made the right choice with the final 3.

 

[Rob]

I am still watching, but I find myself not paying attention. I probably liked Jason best of the F3, but the hair product needs to go. Garrett can barely get out a complete sentence, and Blake seems like a pot about to boil. Neither are Bachelor material to me.

 

[Winnipeg]

She says she loves them all 3...........but I kind of agree, none of the last 3 are really outstanding. The 4th that was just released was really nice, quite attractive but what kind of occupation is "former pro football". What does he do now? And, a 26 year old male virgin would be a yellow light

 

[Rob]

I believe he was an undrafted free agent tight end who was signed by a number of NFL teams to play on their practice squads, but he was always cut before the regular season. He got paid, but I don't think he ever played in an NFL regular season game. Like all good NFLers he set up some sort of foundation that he works with. Then he dated Aly Raisman for a year or so (he was introduced to her by Shawn Johnson and her ex-NFL husband, and I am assuming she is the ex girlfriend he's mentioned on the Bachelorette whom he loved who didn't love him back) and spent months on the Red Carpet behind Aly following her 2016 Olympic success. I think he is trying to be one of these Social Media Influencers now -- people who have a lot of social media followers who get paid by companies to wear/use their products and be photographed in fun places, then post them on Twitter and Instagram. So young people buy the sunglasses or iced tea or hair product they endorse. Bachelor franchise is perfect for that if you don't have a career outside of being good looking.

Slightly OT: Judging from the promos of BiP, Jordan's 24/7 skincare regimen does not appear to include sunblock.

 

[KCC]

Off topic, but related - flipping through tv channels, I landed on 90 day fiancé. I'd probably rename that show "desperate and delusional". Wow, what a sad show.

 

[Winnipeg]

So he does nothing and has no plans to
