Us Weekly claims that the Bachelorette will be one of the final four from this season.  :grad:    No mention of Jojo (assuming she "loses") being ineligible because of frightening logistics. 

Please try to ignore Harrison's nonsensical remark about Kaley Cuoco (oof).

At the outset I thought the Jamaican weather was going to rival the gale-force conditions we saw in the Bahamas or wherever the hell their other non-budget-stretching Caribbean location was like lo, those ten days back.  But then Mo Nature settled and we confirmed that only these producers can make Jamaica look like Rangoon or Camden, NJ.  Caila's river ride down the Ganges featured an ill-timed reboot of her programming, and she and Ben soon shared some awkward "jerk chicken" at a place with a name like a reggae rub-n-tug.  This girl seems inoffensive but is completely fake, and I don't want to watch a second more of her, which is usually the main qualification for the next Bachelorette, so ink her in.

Meanwhile Lauren got adorable sea turtles and "Mel" while Joelle and her assets choppered around and broke out that.  Damn.  Swimsuit.  

I assume he had relations with all three.   Of the two actual contenders, Joelle sure looked much cuter in the morning, as Lauren had one of her periodic aging Keebler elf faces on post-roll.  What a chameleon.  One awkward dispatch of Bachelorette Caila (zzzzzzz) later, with her ALMOST dealing the How Could You Bang Me Card but stopping at the last second, two love-yous and it's chaos.  A clearly drunken Harrison slips in to collect his $200K check for 30 seconds' work, makes faces, and then we have an RC with very little suspense (and no Harrison).  Floved the clumsy champagne toasts as both gals knew something was up.  Jojo looked hot; Lauren looked fine.  Off to . . . exotic Irvine for the finale?  Oh, no, back to Indiana, I guess, or something, after TWTA and the OliviaFest.  

Insane brothers aside, he should pick Jojo and her developments, but he won't.  And I didn't care about the I love you x 2 play, because it was hilarious and this show is camp.

How about that boat Lauren and Ben cruised in on for the Sea Turtle launch?  Looked like something out of a 2005 Hurricane Katrina rescue.  Where did all the nice boats go?

 
Still don't think saying "I love you" is a big deal.  At all.  The women said it to him first.  What's he supposed to do?  As Jerry told George - "You know, if you don't get the return 'I love you', that's an awfully big Matzah Ball hanging out there".  It is possible to love more than one human.  Don't any of you have more than one kid or am I the only Energizer Bunny of mating here?

I'm starting to worry about you, buddy.

:lol:   :P    I get the US Weekly newsletter (and alerts!  Don't forget the alerts!) in my e-mails because I buy subscriptions for SO and sister every year.  That brings me the e-mail updates while they, the plebes, have to wait for the print edition or something.  So I scan what the updates say in between actual responsibilities and other pastimes like fencing with goofs in the FFA political threads.  If it eases your mind, I was befuddled by most Oscar coverage as I was not current, and have never seen a minute of anything involving a housewife, real or otherwise, so I skip all of that crap.

PTV is a good place to go to read about and discuss TV shows - depending.  Some shows get tons of forum discussion, some get zilch.  But I mostly lurk there rather than post because the demographic does not seem to match mine, not exactly.  I prefer to discuss TV in the FFA but not everyone cooperates and/or we get that True Detective thread.

Smile and kiss them like the previous 19 Bachelors. As I said before, there is the expectation that they can't say I love you back which gives them the out from your Seinfeld situation. None of the ladies was expecting a return I love you, and that they got one makes them think, "Wow, he loves me so much that he couldn't contain it. He broke Bachelor rules to tell me he loves me back and let me know I don't have to worry about this screwy process anymore. He really is a great guy. I love him so much and can now plan our lives together."

I thought the number one rule of The Bachelor is that there are no rules?

There are a million rules, chief among them being don't spoil who you are going to pick before the finale. Maybe that's why he told JoJo he loved her. After he told Lauren B the producers took him aside and said he really F'd this up, and the only way he can fix it is by telling JoJo the same.

 
I'm very confident that having him tell both he loves them was the producers' call. If it "slipped" they would have just edited it out. 

 
This isn't as easy as you think.

"I love you."
"That's great!"
 
"I love you."
"Kiss me, beautiful".
 
"I love you."
:mellow:
 
"I love you."
"That perfume is intoxicating. What is that anyway, Chanel?"
 
"I love you."
[nervous laughter]
 
"I love you."
"Hooo boy, that's, wow, hoooo..."
 
"I love you."
"High five!!!"
 
 
I think he's going JoJo. Objectively he's happier and more natural with her. She'll be such a nag and he'll end up hen pecked, but that basically just means they were meant to be. 

 
Let's be honest. How much of this was driven by (1) d-bag brothers and, to a greater extent, (2) the fact that the parents whose approval he requires said that Lauren looked "polished" and thereby implied that our busty heroine was but a barmaid in comparison?  (How quickly was the twin jettisoned after mom expressed disapproval?)

He's pretty predictable.

except you predicted wrong :D

 
Jojo should have gave him the butt the last night, might not have made a difference but at least she could have thrown out "Now you have ####ed me in the ### twice" before she jumped in the limo.

 
Jojo looking really hot and also being very classy which is surprising giving her family.

They seems to be hinting at a big surprise for The Bachelorette...I'm guessing the twins.

No wonder he picked LB. Jojo is driving me nuts with this constant pumping and trying to extract clues from him. Part of why she lost is she acted like she lost him already in front of him.

I'm on the west coast so yes, I know I'm talking to myself. But how presumptuous of Jojo to show up in a wedding dress. Oh my. Also, anyone ever wonder what a great job the driver of the rejects has? lol

 
After show really needs someone more confrontational asking the questions: "Lauren, does it bother you that on the day of your proposal Ben woke up undecided on whether he wanted to propose to you or another woman?"

 
I think the minister and his bible should be the next Bachelor. With all that screen time, America was destined to fall in love with him. 

 
So, the Bachelorette has taken either the 3rd or 4th place runner up from the Bachelor like clockwork for years (only exception was that hot blonde chick who picked Jeff with one F).

Faced with a minority and a divorced mother of 2, they decided to break the mold and go with 2nd place.  Which is awkward for the audience, since not 45 minutes from seeing her profess her undying love to Ben, she's revealed as the next Bachelorette.

The producers must really not want to have minorities in the main role.  I guess Juan Pablo ruined it for them all.

That Caila chick SUCKED and her personality would have killed ratings much more than being half a minority. Not only could she not speak, but the way she was tracking, she'd be a deuce/deuce and a half by the time her show aired.
