I was only half listening, but they read the casting call for someone willing to jump in and ask Connor for a kiss. I hate when they do crap like that. It makes you wonder how much else is scripted and not real. Just like I hate when they bring in new guys 3 weeks into the show. Ugh. I noticed that Mike wasn't at The Men Tell All. I was hoping when Michael left she would have production tell Andrew that she would include him in home town weeks. I really think she missed the ball with him. I feel it in my bones that she is going to pick Blake.

One more thing. I thought the guys trying to trash talk to each other was hilarious.
And I seem to be the only person on the planet who misses Chris Harrison. I like Tayshia but am not a fan of Kaitlyn. Having the two of them walk into the Rose Ceremony, etc. just seemed like overkill.

The "trash talk" was hilarious. I think they're all just really nice guys.
I'm sure I've mentioned it before, but I love the "Rosecast" podcast and it's worth a listen. I like it so much that I've gone back to listen to seasons that are long over.
It might be called "Rosecast with Rim and AB"

I love Rim and AB! I second giving them a listen; not only are they funny but it’s interesting to hear about the show from two guys.

I miss Chris Harrison too. Not a fan of the 2 girls hosting
Just watched this weeks episode with the fallout with Greg. Has he never watched the show before? It seems like he's forcing her to choose him now, and not wait for the rest of the show to play out. I think he would have been her pick too but he gave up. It was the weirdest fight and didn't seem to make a lot of sense

Greg was a big old gaslighter this week and had us going in circles. IMHO, he declared his love knowing that Katie couldn't and then decided that was the line in the sand for him and he was out of here because his end goal was to get out of there. FWIW, I have felt zero connection between the two of them. At least with Blake she has fun.

I could see Greg's point of view BUT he does realize that this is still a tv show and there are other contestants, right?!?! He just wished to act like she could say 'all the things' to him at that point and she can't. I don't know if she's in love with him or not, but she's can't/won't pick her "winner" yet. He signed up for a contest and now he wants to simply forget that part of it. That's not how this works, Greg!

I liked Greg until this episode. If one night can wipe out all the love he supposedly had for her, it wasn’t really love. I feel bad for Katie; at this point nothing she says even matters to him.

I actually feel bad for Greg. I liked him. I think he is struggling mentally as he has the entire season. Seeing Blake and Katie on the hometown was excruciating for him. I can see how someone would think THEY have the best connection and will end up with Katie and then seeing something that kind of slaps you into reality.
You wonder if she picks Blake or Justin, if after seeing last night's episode, they feel like they were second choice. It has happened on other season's where the one picked clearly wasn't the first choice. If Blake is picked, I give them low odds of making it to the altar.
I shake my head every time I think about her letting Andrew go.

I think Greg showed that he'd be a controlling, jealous boyfriend/husband so I'm glad it's out now before they went further.

I think Greg was realizing that he might be the one she picked in the end so he started a ridiculous argument as an excuse to get the hell out of there. I don’t believe for a minute that he was there to get married.
Justin is not going to propose to her, his family couldn’t be bothered to even come meet her.
That leaves Blake. I’m not a fan a Blake, I just don’t find him the least bit appealing.
Even if she picks someone in the finale and gets engaged, I don’t have any hope that it lasts.

It made me wonder how he'd react over other things if it was this extreme the first time. Would he be needy and always need assurance is what I wondered. I agree. Total turn off for me. If I were her, I'd be so glad to find out all of this before I made any kind of commitment to him. I don't do needy. I think it's a huge turn off. I'm super independent and I could never handle someone like him needing assurance and coddling all the time, or thinking it was his way or the highway. Nope, not for me. LOL I have been so proud of her and her decision to not say "I love you" to more than the last person. I've hated that on other seasons. It totally gives false hope to those that ultimately get left in the dust. Even the line "I'm falling in love with you" said to more than one person at a time gets my goat. It makes me think "Do you know what real love is"? Caring for someone is one thing, so is lust, but falling in love? With multiple people at one time? My brain just doesn't compute that. I know others don't agree, but for ME, it just isn't something I could ever do or say.

I think part of why Blake creeps me out a bit is that he reminds me physically of an ex boyfriend LOL

I've been saying from close to the beginning that Greg needs some therapy. I know grief takes different lengths of time for everyone, but at some point you need to learn to move on with living your life. The fact that his family and friends even said he was still struggling with the dad's death (he died in 2018, so it's not like he died right before filming) was a flag. Also, grief can sometimes mask clinical depression since being sad about death is normal.
Then when he said Katie fills the hole in his heart. That's just a NO. It is not her job to fill the spot in his heart that his dad dying left.
When we first started watching my daughter talked about how people online had said Greg was manipulative and she thought they were just saying that because he was an emotional guy and that if a girl acted the same it would be no big deal. Then we watched the whole episode and she agreed with the majority that he was being very manipulative and was constantly gaslighting Katie and trying to force her to say "I love you" or that she was ready to send the other two home because he was the one.
Katie implied in the Guys Tell All that she's happy with her pick. I'm hopeful that doesn't mean Greg comes back because I just can't see her with Justin (who she barely knows) or Blake (who even his family were like you said you loved Claire, then Taiysha, now Katie? Seems like someone who either has no clue what romantic love is or was just hoping to be the next Bachelor).

So the finale is Monday then on to Bachelor in Paradise.
I don't think Katie is going to get her happy ending. No way she picks Justin and I think if she picks Blake it will end badly. He reminds me of one of those people whose life is stuck in the fantasy world of the Bachelor series.
How I wish she had kept Andrew.

Ugh. Hated this ending. She obviously had so much anger and unresolved feelings toward Greg. I see no chemistry with Blake, he was just the best one out of the ones remaining. They will be broken up in a month.

I was playing a game on my computer during the whole show. What a snoozer. I couldn't even make sense of what Blake was saying as he proposed to her. Just awful.
I didn't really mind Katie as the Bachelorette for most of the season, but tonight, she just came off as a total B. I just kept thinking, "If you looked up the phrase 'hell has no fury like a woman scorned,' her picture would be there as exhibit A. Totally ugly.
And Tayshia and Kaitlyn can move along next season. Neither one of them is genuine enough to pull off the role. Again, not a fan.

What a mess! Wasn't too happy with how she treated Greg. Yeah, maybe he deserved it but she came off looking bad in my opinion. I'm surprised they didn't address the distance between Katie and Blake. It will be interesting to see how long it lasts.
Bachelor in Paradise looks like its usual hot mess! Interesting that Kendall and Joe are there. I wonder if they will get back together. I always liked her a lot. Looks like there is a lot of nudity.
I can't remember the name of the gal who came out 2 years ago but she's back. Wonder if she's looking for a guy or gal.
