methinks Ashley S is growing tired of being called "crazy"

I mean... doing a poll right in front of her, with one of the guests straight up saying "ya, I think youre crazy" is kind cold.

ashley even let out a little "you dont even know me" but it got ignored and they kinda moved on...

starting to feel for her

So the two guys are absolutely correct in calling out Joe, but then fold right over when he confronts them about it. One guy even starts sobbing about it. I'm confused.

Yeah I don't get either why they were kowtowing to him when they were right. I'm hoping Samantha shows up and ignores him like Kaitlyn did. His accent annoys me too.

Yeah a few minutes after writing that. Lol

 
The guy who hooked up with Jade -- Tanner? How lucky is that guy. Comes on the show, hooks up with the hottest girl, probably bangs the crap out of her daily, gets free lodging, food and drinks at a Mexican resort, guaranteed roses and very little camera time since he's not associated with any of the drama or stupidity. Pretty nice gig.

 
Do they all get a list of people that are going to eventually be on the show or what? Hey, I came here for so and so...oh they aren't here, that sucks. Cut to scene of that exact person walking down the steps.

That's obviously planned out in advance to maximize the drama. They ask them each who they hope is on the show and use that info to round out the cast and create the bombshell entrances.

i know, it's crazy... almost as if it were scripted.

I think its more like the producer saying "Hey Joe...this girl Samantha who had all of 2 minutes of air time on a show I'm sure you don't watch is gonna be coming down here in a few hours. Look into the camera and say you're hoping you get to meet her and we'll let you guys make out in the hot tub"

There's MAYBE a 2% chance that Joe actually knew who she was before he got there. And I honestly think that's being generous.

 
What's with all the random chatting with the producers this season? I mean, we all know it's scripted, but it's almost like this season they aren't even trying to hide it.

 
What about the crabs. Is it really like that in Mexican resorts where they're crawling around everywhere, or were they swept in off the shore by production?

We stayed down the beach about 45 minutes at the same time they were filming (cast before and after and the entire crew were there, caught a few spoilers, last night's over water date was there) and I think we saw 2 or 3 crabs the whole time. Its certainly editing.

 
way too many "couples" right now, I would look to the producers to start to shake things up with the folks that are paired up right now. my prediction is we see Jared jumping in on the Tanner/Jade pairing along with some newcomers breaking folks up (beyond Samantha hooking up with Joe which was in the previews...big upgrade for Joe with her by the way, the broad with the kid has a greasy face).

Jared should just nail Ashley for the rest of the time he's there and then dump her and go home. He's a young dude and doesn't need to look at it as anything more than a hookup opportunity. And we don't need to hear Ashley cry anymore, for ####s sake.
 
One thing I found weird yet hilarious...Josh starts talking about molly and everyone looks horrified, like he's saying he eats babies. Okay, maybe you're not into drugs, but to act like you're in the third grade and the big kids are forcing you to try it or something...Jade looked like she might cry. Equally perplexing was Josh being oblivious to that reaction and going on and on about it. These people are so freaking weird.

Jade had no problem spreading her cooter for playboy, but to take a party drug? WOOF NOT IN MY HOUSE!!!

Hilarious to watch the morality police on this show come out over the most asinine things

Looks like he decided "the hell with it" last night and started kissing her while she was in the middle of a sentence. I guess he decided this was one way to shut her up. I agree he should go for it because it will be hard to hear her crying when she has a #### in her mouth.

 
If I'm ABC I would seriously consider just running this show all year round. You can time the episodes so that select rejects from the current Bachelor or Bachelorette go straight from not getting a rose into the appearing on Bachelor in Paradise.

This is actually a fantastic idea. Condense it to 30 minutes and just air the good stuff. Just the drama.

There is something deeply irritating about her personality even when she's in a good mood and everything is fine. And that little smug grin she gets, and how full of herself she is. And she seems extremely uptight with no sense of humor. Basically has all the traits that would turn off most men. Many women in her shoes would just say screw it and settle for some 9-5 vanilla doouche, but again, she's too full of herself.
 
The mid-episode convo between Jared and Clare seemed strange. It seemed like at the beginning Jared was being playful. But as soon as he mentioned age Clare's attitude toward him did a complete 180 even if he still had interest in her. I don't think the editing properly conveyed what was going on there. But you know how I know you're crazy? Two days with you and a guy flees back to Ashley.

Seemed like he was kinda drunk. His tone of voice was different than normal.

I like this idea. You wouldn't have guys/girls just hangin out in paradise getting free drinks and meals waiting for a particular bachelor reject to show up because if they weren't hooked up with anyone they'd probably get voted off.

Could be like Last Man on Earth when Phil settled for Carol before he realized sweet Melissa was coming into the picture. If he would have just waited another day or two... Phil was like :wall:

 
So I was a day behind watching on DVR...then I sort of fell asleep for a few.

Why did Jared ultimately dump Claire? I didn't fully get that. I know she claims b/c of her age, but it's not like he didn't know that going in. Did he just realize how crazy she is?

Also, If he can make Ashley I shut up and just make out with her for a few weeks, that'd be a pretty sweet deal...until she starts talking about marriage and shows up at your place of employment.

Might have been jealous of her relationship with the raccoon.

:shrug: Lots of folks in here loved him during the Kaitlyn season and were pushing him for the next Bachelor. Seemed to be the consensus at the Paradise locale that he was thought to be so hilarious, too...but wasn't.

I checked out early of Kaitlyn's season and, mercifully, sort of forgot to go back (deleting them off the DVR was fun, though, particularly once I heard that nothing of interest happened on TMTA or AFTR and she was never interested in anyone but the final two guys, Fake Ryan Gosling and Deusche) so I don 't have a clear recollection of Joe to offer, but I'm reasonably sure he's playing a tightly written character. None of what he has done makes sense, right down to the farting on camera, nor did his ability to intimidate Mikey or make Jonathan cry (!!). I don't think everyone out there has fully scripted actions, but I believe he does.

Great episode. Glad to see more camera time for Jade. Enjoyed Joe being called out, scripted or not, still good.

Samantha is pretty in terms of being statuesque but overrated. Her face is overly made up (contrast Jade) and even then, a bit funny-looking.

Carly's such a little tool but I was glad she had the nice moment with her brother and didn't get dumped. Felt bad for Ashley S. who is quite sharp, witty and really pretty too. Was glad to get a break from the Clare and Ashley I. drama.

 
I've got to admit, as much as I love Jade, she has some moments sans makeup that make me think she's not quite the natural beauty we all imagine her to be. She's smoking when done up, but, sometimes, yikes.

 
Ashley S with those nerd glasses on :excited: :excited: :shock:

smoldering.

Joe is playing the role of ##### wayyyyy too convincingly... has to be his real persona.... and has the look in his eye that screams he would/could beat the snot out of any dude/dudette on that set, in a heartbeat
