As entertaining as Chad is, putting the article The in front of his name and the constant focus on him, I'm calling he has already or will shortly jump the shark. The producers are ruining a good thing with all the focus on him, just let it play out organically, ABC.

I felt bad for the one armed girl when he said what he said about her.  Her comments as she walked away crying were sort of an eye-rolling moment, though.  She's been on the show 3 times.  Said she was hoping to find love this time... on a beach with a dozen or so other drama queens (guys and gals) who have all been on fake dating tv.  She makes it sound like this particular show is her last hope in finding love.  There are no men in her city... just on this show.

And Rodgers could not get a date so he had to compete against 30 guys on TV for Jo Jo.  And I guess Jo Jo could not get a date either. Amazing how many good looking people are so lonely they need to go on a TV reality show to find "True Love" and get married in a 5 week period where the had maybe 3-4 alone dates.

It's not "putting yourself out there," it's a :tfp: scenario. That's why it's so much fun to watch. WTF is someone thinking that  concludes going on this show that it's a good idea that will improve their life, other than the "celebrity" they gain from the appearance? The people on this show are not dropping a steady career or putting one on hiatus to appear. Not sure many employers would dig that, or just show you the door being linked to something like this. I work for a Fortune 50 in accounting, you think they want their name associated with me or a show like this if I am Chad v.2.0 and get selected to appear, let alone missing work for 5 or 6 months? That's why it's "Former Swimmer," "Former NFL Player," "Doctor who runs own practice," etc.

Yep.  Every time I see "lawyer" I think to myself "Could I get all of my cases stayed for three months to go on the Bachelorette?"

Just started being forced to watch this with the wife this year, but one of my favorite moments from Bachelor was when one of the girls who was like 25 and smoking hot crying about how she's worried she'll never find love.

She acted like she was two weeks away from becoming a cat lady.

 
So much better with Chad gone.

Love seeing Nick get just totally steamrolled by Alpha-Male Josh. (although you sort of feel bad for Amanda, as you just know that's not gonna work out. No way that dude wants to deal with someone else's kids)  The previews show Evan trying to make a move on Amanda after Carly basically dumps him for being gross.

Grant playing this one well. Easily closes the deal with Lace once she realizes she needs to do something to stick around.

Canadian Daniel quickly becoming my favorite. "If I had to choose one to bang tonight, it would definitely be one of the twins".

Can't tell if Jared truly has no game or whether he's just in it for the free booze.  He's probably still kicking himself for somehow letting Tanner end up with Jade last summer.

 
So beautiful seeing Evan clowned by Carly of all people.

In Nick's shoes, my problem wouldn't be with Josh. That guy doesn't owe me anything. My problem would be with Amanda. Seems extremely disrespectful the way she came back from her date, didn't say a word to the guy she had been bonding with and proceeded to endlessly make out with other guy right in front of him. I wouldn't be acting butt hurt about it. She'd just be dead to me and I'd move on to one of the twins, or whomever comes into the pad next.

 
Josh is SUCH  a lion. 

The guy I would never be caught dead around in real life, but for the show... Just brilliant. A true savage. In it to flex all over Nick's face. Wow.

Most of these women are pretty revolting, neck up. Maybe a strong word, but worst looking bunch, ever, on the show?

Very surprised by Amanda as well...didn't expect her to take that route. 

 
Evan.. dude.  Bet he just loves watching this episode.  But Carly is a tool.  Can't stand her from last time.  She thinks she some great catch or something.

Lace looks worse with each episode, imo.  That bikini does her no favors.  

Poor Nick.  Josh just toying with Amanda.  

Daniel confusing the new girl was great.  "You're an onion.  No, an orange.. one layer."  

Not sure why Jared is even on the show.  The hottest twin all over him and he acts like a eunuch.

Yeah, no way Josh will pursue her with those two kids.  And what is Evan thinking trying to make a move on Amanda?  Or is that just editing wanting us to think he actually tries to take her away from a necking session with Josh?

The VHI1 show Famously Single just wrapped up last week and Josh was on there.  He's EXTREMELY picky and wants the absolute perfect woman....no way that scenario involves 2 little kids.

 
God, I hope that Evan is an actor.  Otherwise, this is just mean.  He's like the minor league player that gets promoted to the Bigs, hits .091 and gets sent back down after a cup of coffee.  Just not the right spot for him and if he's not an actor, it's kind of cruel to bring him in so America can just laugh at his expense.  And Carley is no trip to Hollywood.  She's ordinary at best.  Not sure why she feels the need to blister him on TV.  Nobody is google imaging her for nefarious purposes.

I can't believe I watched this last night.  Ashamed.

See you next week!

This is what my wife and I say every time somebody exits in the car with the tears and the defeat.  You'll be fine.  You're better looking than 90% of the other people out there.  You're young.  You'll be fine.  I mean, maybe if you stopped acting like a wuss on TV, of course.  Confidence is a good thing.  Blubbering like a child is not.

I'd like to see a version of this with middle aged people who have been beaten up by life and don't have the vanity to walk around shirtless and roided up.  And make no mistake, ALL of those men are roided up.  Especially that little swish Nick.  He wasn't even close to ripped prior.  Now his veins are popping like Chad's?  Uh huh.

Evan seems to have a strong desire to get his ### kicked.

 
Here's an interesting game of what if. What if Nick declines the date offer from Leah? Does Amanda return the gesture and decline the date with Josh, meaning that Nick could have prevented his worst nightmare from happening?

I'm quoting what Daniel said to Sarah toward the end of their strawberries and champagne date. I had to pause to laugh. Neither of them seemed to notice what he said. If he said it on purpose, obviously it would have been cringe-worthy. The guy is unintentionally funny, which makes it funnier.

 
I just feel bad for Evan.  Damn, the guy has kids.  They're going to see this one day and it's not going to be cool at all.  Just mean of ABC to roll this dork out there and blister him like this.

Totally agree. You gotta wonder if he is complicit in the whole thing. I'm not sure anyone can be that much of a dork.

What about Amanda's kids seeing her being such a sloot, moving on from one guy to the next without even acknowledging the switch and then rarely coming up for air to say a word through her public make-out sessions the next two days. Great example she is setting for her kids.

Don't get why Daniel is interested in Sarah. I see Cayla will be coming. Maybe he will wise up.

Me neither. I'm thinking he and Christian must be trying to curry favor from America, or maybe the paradise group, for showing that he's a good guy while they wait for a woman they really are interested in to arrive. Taking the disfigurement out of consideration, I think she is highly annoying with the ugliest face on the show.

Right, I think all of them are actors anyway, but in the event they're even remotely real, he's getting clowned on in pretty cruel fashion.

Yeah, but at least she's cool and desirable.  Evan kissed a girl who promptly barfed.

Agree. Same reason Sean kept her around and was leading her on when he wasn't picking her ever. Now this is what, the second time she's been on this show and we have to see her when that spot could've gone to an actual hot girl.

Amanda was a teen mom, right?  She probably acts like this at home in front of her kids anyways.

 
Evan's deleted scene where he tries to console a sick Carly was funny.  She's laying there with an ice pack.  He sits with her, removes the ice pack and goes in close rubbing her back/neck whispering sweet nothings into her ear...  she's like dude.. please leave.  Poor Evan.  The little guy can't take a hint.  

 
Just finished Monday's episode.  I don't see the appeal of Josh, but he must be much better-looking in person since all the women were swooning over him.  Even so, the douchey personality should outweigh that.

Oh well, he and Amanda seem well-matched on an intelligence scale anyway.

I don't understand why Jared even goes on these shows.  He's a eunuch.  Maybe he just really likes free vacations.
