This episode was so funny. The guys explaining sex ed to the 5th graders was hilarious. I really like both of the Bens. JJ and Clint need to go away together. The guys popping each others back pimples in the shower.  OMG -The sumo wrestling. So glad Tony left - what a nut job. What's up with ending each episode at the cocktail party instead of after the Rose Ceremon? Who else is watching. |

I like that they are stopping the typical rose ceremony at the end of the show every week because to be honest I hate that part of the show and just am NOT on the edge of my seat. It's good they stopped spending so much time "reflecting" before the ceremony with Chris Harrison over what a hard time they are having and the shots in the room with the pictures because that was just painful to draaaaaaaaag it out so I am thankful they changed it up. leaves more room for the drama, ha ha.
I love Kaitlyn but felt bad for her doing the Escape room thing, that was pretty stupid but I think it goes along with her personality of getting the guys out of their comfort zone and seeing what kind of guy they are. The funny thing about Tony with the sumo wrestling - well wait there were SOO many funny things about that, for one that he slapped him like a girl, and then went on this what I considered kind of really angry tantrum about why they couldn't go to the zoo instead of all of this violence. Kind of ironic that Tony the bonsai guy has an anger issue, which to be honest makes so much sense now why he goes on so much - protest so much about peace and tranquility makes me feel like he has some anger management problems.

I feel exactly the opposite from the OP. I thought the episode was ridiculously contrived. If those guys didn't know that those kids were actors, I'll eat my hat. It was so obvious. No parent would allow some bachelorette show to come in and educate her child on sex. Well, no reasonably thinking parents anyway.
I thought the sumo thing was dumb. I harken back to all the outrage when Farmer Chris had girls walk down the street and later ride tractors in bikinis. We all agreed that was embarrassing and wrong to put the women in that position. Fast forward...men in Sumo garb having an exhibition for a bunch of strangers. Ummm, no.
I seriously cannot stand Kaitlyn. She bugs me six ways to Sunday.
Tony, for as whacked out as he was, was the only one who made any sense in this episode. Stop the violent chest thumping on every group date. The boxing date was horrid. I would have immediately eliminated any man who agreed to participate. lol I can't imagine telling my husband to hit someone to prove either his love for me or his manliness. UGH!
Clearly I take this stupid show way too seriously. lol I am loving the spoof show UnReal on Lifetime. If you haven't seen it, you really should.

I agree with momstime. If I were one of the guys I would have said no. No to the boxing and no to the sumo wrestling. I think it was degrading and not fun. I also did not get what the upset was about Clint. His relationship with JJ is a little weird but I did not see him do anything that seemed like it would piss the guys in the house off. Maybe I missed something, but I'm just not seeing it. He was kind of an ass to Kaitlyn on their date, but other than that, I see nothing. |

I was a home ec. and health teacher and didn't like the sex ed. part of the show either. Maybe I don't have a sense of humor (I think I do) but sex ed. would never be handled the way they showed it. At least, not in a good school. |

In retrospect, I agree with what other posters have said about this episode. Except I stand by my comments on Clint and JJ. Sorry, taking a shower together? And didn't he say that he has no interest in Kaitlyn, just wants to stay around because of JJ?

Well, Kaitlyn did say they were actors. I wonder if she ever told the guys. I agree with the OP, I find Clint and JJ creepy. Kaitlyn isn't my favorite Bachelorette but it's still a train wreck I love to watch. BTW, have we discussed Chris and Whitney breaking up ~ not that it came as a big surprise. I didn't watching DWTS so I didn't get to see how badly he behaved. |

I think that whole thing was inappropriate, even if they were actors. They were too young to be made part of something like this for the amusement of Kaitlyn and the guys. I'm starting to really like Ben H. |

Chris and Whitney's break up was such a shocker....said no one, ever.  When she didn't show up to the show DWTS on his last appearance, I said to my family that they were likely over. I was right. I love it when I'm right. lol |

Not that it hasn't done so a million times before, but with this episode of the Bachelorette, I said to myself, "I think this show has finally jumped the shark." I loved the line on the bottom of the screen in the scary room that said that the featured animals, insects, reptiles, etc. were not a part of the typical experience and were added for the Bachelorette by the show's producers. And the sumo wrestling was just, ugh! I really was cracking up when Tony whined, "Why can't we just go to the zoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo?  " Classic moment in Bachelorette history!  As for Chris and Whitney, I never really got the hate for him, nor was I a fan of hers. What did he do on DWTS that was so heinous? I didn't watch, so I'm interested to know how he misbehaved.  |

LOL, I said the same thing with the last episode. With every season it seems more and more obvious that a whole lot of this is scripted. I'm tempted to consult google to see if this JJ/Clint bromance is fake/set up, but I don't want to see any other spoilers. Some seasons I go to Reality Steve, but this time I don't feel like it. This show just my trashy guilty pleasure though, so I've never taken it seriously. |

The clip I saw was during a rehearsal and he was mean and demeaning to the pro -- he snapped something about "don't talk to me", throwing his arms down -- she walked off and at some point was in tears. I understand it is difficult, but I got the impression that his real personality became evident in that exchange. He always reminded me of one of those "little prince" men -- the pampered only son and I thought that behavior was just evidence of who he really is. |

Interesting! I'm thinking he's really happiest riding around in his tractor in Iowa where he doesn't have to interact much with other people, but he still wants to be in a relationship with a stunningly beautiful girl who isn't bored by that kind of life. Might be a difficult find! |

The JJ/Clint love affair was a stunt. They have apologized to their families. No one cares. lol

I finally just caught up with the latest episodes. I got pretty bored with it all a few seasons ago, but I have to say I'm finding this season pretty entertaining. Kaitlyn is cute and funny. The guys are a good mix of douchebags, whiners, and hotties. Sumo wrestling, scary basement, sex ed, bromance, black eyes, tears - what's not to like? |

I watched Chris on DWTS and didn't see any bad behavior on his part other than the one time mentioned above. But even that was minor and almost everyone on the show at one time or another exhibits equally "bad" behavior due to frustration and exhaustion. Most times he was the first one there congratulating other dancers on how well they had done. He presented himself as a genuinely nice guy.
As far as this last episode of The Bachelorette goes.. it was too much for me. Too raunchy by half. As wacky as Tony was, I agreed with him after this episode. Can't they just go to the zoo? LOL
