June 3, 20214 yr Bachelor in Paradise to be hosted by David Spade... (well not entirely he will be a guest host.) but he should just be the main one if they aren’t having Chris back. https://www.vulture.com/2021/06/david-spade-replacing-chris-harrison-on-bachelor-in-paradise.html Edited June 3, 20214 yr by Nicole44
June 7, 20214 yr bump, Katie's season starts tonight. With the rain, kids stuff likely canceled so may fit it in tonight
June 9, 20214 yr Author We watched it tonight. Could be good. I like Katie. Jesus, the “cat dude” was cringey.See that Chris Harrison is officially gone from the franchise for good. Got a huge payout to not discuss it. Did he make a mistake? Yes. Was it big enough to cost him this gig? I don’t think so.
June 9, 20214 yr He didn't make a mistake and even then, offered an apology, but cancel culture works both ways, and the ratings for Katie's opener isn't looking so great. Not ready for David Spade, either. I'm probably not in until Paradise resumes.
June 10, 20214 yr I always have fun looking at everybody's job titles when they get introduced. Like, what the fuck is a "Surgical Skin Vendor" or a "Zipper Sales Manager". Does "Nutrition Entrepreneur" mean he sells Herbalife?

Actually, I think it was "surgical skin salesman" which sounds even creepier.

June 10, 20214 yr I could see ratings improving if Spade takes over and adds his snarky commentary on the stupidity of the show.
June 10, 20214 yr 38 minutes ago, Dr. Beeper said: Yeah. Harrison won in this deal. His career won’t suffer, and Bachelor ratings will suffer. Not because Harrison was a big draw. But because they’ll have backlash. What career? Besides the Bachelor, his resume is bleak. I think he’s done on any TV that matters. Maybe he can expand on his romance novel authorship.
June 29, 20214 yr Not sure if anyone is watching. They had a phony, scripted send off to one contestant last night who had the temerity to admit that, yeah, becoming The Bachelor in a future season had crossed his mind. Which every fucking contestant must think about, truth be told. That guy is plowing way hotter than Katie in real life, so no big loss for him. And the bearded Canadian fuck from Clare Make-That-Taysia’s season is back, and there’s scuttlebutt they had been DMing, perhaps had even met in person before this season started taping, so it’s all bullshit. And the spoiler for the season says : Spoiler Bearded Canadian fuck Blake is the “winner.” Whoop de do.

He was 100% in on Claire, then immediately flipped to Taysha and now he's all-in on Katie. Awesome. I couldn't help but think Bachelor producers have to have wet themselves thinking of having the widow with a kid be a bachelor at some point.
July 7, 20214 yr should i be watching this or just wait for bip? the pool of contestants should be massive and they need to take advantage.

From a shitshow perspective, this season isn't very entertaining. But I personally find Katie to be the most likable Bachelorette in a long time (ever?) and most of the early frontrunners seem like decent dudes. They showed a preview for the second half of the season though, and it seems like (or the editors made it seem like) the drama gets taken up a notch, so I guess we'll see.

Yeah, pretty accurate synopsis imo. The hosts seem odd, like they want them to copy Harrisons stuff but seem like they're hardly there for a lot of the time.

Hell, Harrison was hardly around, only popping in to introduce the Rose Ceremony or make an announcement to the groups and then of course the live "After the Rose" ceremonies or "Men/Women Tell All" shit-fests.
July 9, 20214 yr i was always confused about how many roses were left. thank fucking god he was there.
July 14, 20214 yr Author Wife and I watched this week’s episode last night. Anybody else catch this? When Connor got sent home and went back to get his bag — odd as they’ve always had a producer snag it — and half the dudes were full-on bawling that he was leaving. Bizarre.At any rate, seems Katie has kept around a pretty normal group of guys. Blake is a tool but he’s doing well playing the game (Say Anything boom box scene and all). Sounds like he tells her he doesn’t love her next week, though. But ABC has been really, really bad about previewing dramatic moments that never occur or are barely shown this season (this is par for the course but it seems especially egregious this season).
July 14, 20214 yr The no jacking off contest is one of the dumbest things this show or any other has ever done, and it’s been universally panned by every media website I’ve seen. I didn’t know the guy’s name was Connor, I just know him as the cat guy from Ep. 1. And yes, it was silly how emotional most of the guys got. And the Canadian “firefighter trainee” is still there, despite having about six sentences uttered all season. I think it’s a loser of a season, Katie has been pretty meh, and I believe it was a done deal before taping even began.

I think it’s a loser of a season, Katie has been pretty meh, and I believe it was a done deal before taping even began. And yet Blake scored points with Katie by telling her how much he apparently beats off. It's not really "self-love" if one of the other guys in the house do it for you, right? Asking for a friend. (Might explain the tears last night.) Edited July 14, 20214 yr by C-Man
July 14, 20214 yr What was a little weird (NTTAWWI) but early favorite Greg and the cat dude were often shown kinda cuddling, but Greg wasn’t one of the ones crying. Truck Ball Pit Guy (Tre?) was really wailing. Forgot to mention earlier what a tool Mini Josh Brolin was.
August 4, 20214 yr Author The rate guys are taking themselves out this season, Katie might wind up on Paradise in two weeks.Greg was clearly her choice but he blew himself up. Maybe she’s lucky that he showed his true colors and went mental. How do either Justin or Blake feel watching that back — if one of them “won” at the end? Katie should just quit and go track down Michael. That would be ABC’s wet dream.
August 4, 20214 yr Greg Grippo now has another “G” word associated with him, “gaslighting.” It was bizarre how he flipped the script on her so rapidly. He either had plans to bail all along, is a narcissist and/or has a touch of borderline personality disorder (BPD can trigger that complete shift from totally in love to “fuck you, I’m done” in an instant). Anyway, he’s fucked in the public perception now. She’s left with the Canadian famewhore and Justin Who? Was he really on the show? Spoilers say: Spoiler She’s with Blake, but yeah, it would seem he’s not the first choice based on interaction with Grippo, but there are also claims she and Blake communicated quite a bit before the show started, perhaps even meeting in person, so it’s all sketchy. In truth, only Thomas was there for the right reasons, to work on his “brand.” Is there a potential Bachelor lead from this group? I think Grippo is done. I don’t see Michael A as a leading man who thirty 20-30 somethings will want to fight over. Maybe someone will distinguish themselves in Paradise.
August 4, 20214 yr yeah, went from man listen to what she's saying dude, to maybe you should tell him a little more, to man these are some pretty serious red flags up in here if he's freaking out this much.

When they showed that bizarre flashback montage after Greg bailed he was so normal and relaxed when he was one of 15 or more. He just lost it, which is odd because he was a slam-dunk to be one of the final two if not the outright choice. (Katie did fuck up perhaps in not giving him a better idea of the score out of respect for the other guys still there but c'mon Greg, read the room.) Justin is such a non-factor and calling Blake a fame-whore is a perfect description. I enjoyed his sister pointing out that he was all-in on Claire and then immediately flipped that to Taysha and now has it for Katie. Either Greg comes to Jesus -- not likely -- or she should seriously try and hook back up with Michael after the show is over. I cannot see Katie-Blake being a long-term thing. I did notice there are no shots of Katie waiting at a ring ceremony so maybe it doesn't get to that point.
August 10, 20214 yr Watching the finale. First episode I’ve seen this season. How many of y’all roll up your pant legs to show off your ankles? Whisky Tango Foxtrot?
August 10, 20214 yr Wtf did the one co host chick do to her face? She was cute now she looks like a damn real doll. Horrible

She’s been fighting Internet critics for a couple years about her appearance. I’m about half an hour behind, but just wanted to say her aunt is one of the worst assholes I’ve ever seen on the show. I think Blake is a famewhore fucknut, but he didn’t deserve to get grilled like that from that nobody. She went in looking for a fight, and turned every response into a snark. I’m all for female empowerment and not needing a man to complete you, but they preemptively hate you. Fuck her.
August 10, 20214 yr Wonder how many guys had PTSD flare up between that aunt and the bachelorette chicks petulance towards the Jersey guy. (Raises hand)
August 10, 20214 yr I kinda get it, but would prefer my new fiance to be more like ~"you really sucked and think you were acting, by whatever because I really loved him." To be THAT mad this much later would give me pause. meh season all around.

It sounded more like Katie was trying to convince herself that she was Blake was "her guy" rather than Michael and Greg, who would've been her likely top two. No way she and Blake get married.
August 17, 20214 yr BiP starting tonight. Expecting nothing but mindless entertainment while reading practice reports. See that the one girl who nearly passed out from the heat is back. Naked guy…. Not promising out of the gate.
August 17, 20214 yr Author Spade was equal parts creepy, not very funny and hilarious. Loved when Demi called him “Joe Dirt” when she walked up at the end. Also, when the blonde champagne chick said something about having her holes filled. The wife and I were saying “Who’s that?” all night.
August 17, 20214 yr Haven’t seen an episode since Demi’s BiP, so I don’t know any of these mother fuckers. I dig Abigail, had to google the whole deaf thing. Naked dude won’t play this game all season, correct?
August 17, 20214 yr Seems like they aren't labeling/captioning the contestants as much in previous seasons. Bachelor used to go overboard in reiterating everyone's name over and over and now they barely name them. They either expect the fans to have good memories or they don't care anymore.
August 18, 20214 yr skipped katie’s season but back for bip, obviously. thought it was a good start, and the scenes make the season look fucking bananas. lulz at all the chicks like “the guys think they have all the power but let’s play it cool” followed by 9 of them throwing themselves at dudes and everybody making out like 8th grade in your friend’s basement. Edited August 18, 20214 yr by henrygandorf
August 24, 20214 yr Demi brought her leg bruises with her to the beach. The ‘overheated’ chick is ugly as fucking sin. This show can drag some shit out. Edited August 24, 20214 yr by shadow_operative2.0 And Spade was pretty good.
August 24, 20214 yr I was surprised to see the crazy goddess chick going home so soon. I thought they would have milked that. She had the only nice set of tits on the show so they better fix that soon. Also a bit surprised to see Demi back looking for dick after her lesbian antics in the last BIP. Who holds the record for most BIP season appearances? She's got at least 3 I can remember.
August 24, 20214 yr demi is terrible, so watching her flopping around/melting down was ~enjoyable. for a skinny person, she has belly rolls. victoria the queen/goddess is a beating and she’s unattractive. glad she’s gone. so far, so decent, but the voiceover guy is brutal.

Who holds the record for most BIP season appearances? She's got at least 3 I can remember. They probably figure they have enough drama starters there that we really don't need a Victoria. Literally, the only thing she brings to the show is the lulz because she lacks any self-awareness at all. They gave her a terrible edit, and I bet it was on purpose. She looked pathetic, being the ugliest girl there and thinking she could draw guys to her with her stupid 5 second rule. Goddess, that only works for you when they are shit faced drunk in a dark bar. I'm thinking they brought her on for her swan song appearance just so they could make her look shitty one more time. I swear she slammed the car door on her own ass when she was leaving. I hate to admit it, but Tahjuan going after her just for talking to Tre seemed just as pathetic. I don't like taking Victoria's side, but I think I have to on this one.
