And we finish out the “To Be Continued.”

Here are my thoughts for this week:

• Demario is a cocky piece. “When I met you, my entire life changed.” Of course it did, you are on national television.
• Rachel is giving it to him. She is not having any of his crap. She is looking for a man not a boy. Boom. I love her. Your time is not now Demario.
• “He had nothing new to contribute besides begging.” Pretty much.
• I hope the men take her seriously from now on. I love that she was strong about her convictions and didn’t let him sweet talk her.
• So how did the Tickle Monster get those hands there? Don’t they only get one suitcase?
• Lucas and Blake. They both need to go. I can’t do this bro drama.
• Blake doesn’t eat carbs?
• You both (Blake and Lucas) are trying to make each other look bad. You are both bitter and being crazy.
• Tom called Lucas a scum bag.
• Fred gets another week! Maybe she will get over the past behavior.
• I bet Lucas goes to Paradise….gross. Speaking of…this cast list dropped this week.
• Blake, buddy, you put yourself in the same category of that drama. Plus you can’t put yourself in the nice gentleman category when your first interview was about your sexual prowess.
• I wish y’all could hear Tom’s reaction to this fight…I’m dying.
• This started with straight shit talking then went to two grown men mocking each other with fart noises.
• I think the Bachelorette seasons have more drama than the Bachelor seasons. Men try to act like they aren’t dramatic but they are just so silly.
• YES TO ELLEN! I already saw the episode, but this is cool to see the backstory.
• I don’t like that he called Rachel “sloppy seconds.” I hope she says something about that.
• Alex is going at it with this dancing.
• This is probably the one segment (strip dancing) of the Ellen show that I don’t like. I think it is a double standard of exploitation. No one would think this was ok if women were half naked strip dancing…
• Never Have I Ever though…great game.
• This has got to be weird to have them all talk about how many guys have kissed her.
• Why is it awkward that Fred asked you to kiss him? People should get consent.
• She is sending Fred home…She can’t get past him being a school kids.
• Fred is going to be broken. You can just see it in his eyes that he is devastated.
• Why did she take the rose with her to break up with Fred? That is like taunting him.
• They are taking their horses into the stores? Is that real?
• A CUPCAKE ATM???? WHY AREN’T THESE IN MISSOURI???
• Why do they have to blur out the horse poop?
• Anthony seems sweet and old school classy.
• Tom thinks that Eric is stoned when he goes off on Iggy.
• These men on this second group date…there are some I don’t feel like I have seen before.
• This date in the party bus feels like a bachelorette party with all these women back.
• Mud wrestling? Sometimes these shows are so sexist…
• Well Rachel wanted to see all of them without their shirts on.
• Kenny didn’t go easy on any of these people. He threw those men around. I thought he was going to break Lee. But seriously, Bryce won?
• Wow Kenny used to be a Chippendale?
• Rachel is not subtle at all. She tells everyone everything. Eric is going to blow his lid.
• This conversation between Lee and Eric is interesting. Lee seems to be just saying whatever to be friends.
• Everyone is coming at Eric.
• I love Rachel’s formal coat. It is gorgeous. Her stylist really outdid themselves!
• Man Rachel is not going to cut corners. I love how she is so blunt and forward.
• Ugh I hate that they don’t do the rose ceremony at the end. I know we are continuing into next week, but at least give me some closure for this week.

My favorites:  Will and Dean.

And because I love the interviews I find on the Bachelor gossip, I wanted to share with you a couple.
