How can you have feelings for someone when you know literally nothing about them? Not even their favorite band, because you never ever ever talk about anything like that? Give me a break.
LOL, well I don't disagree with you but I don't really expect much from these shows. It's just entertainment.

I roll my eyes throughout the show too, agree with much of what thefragile said.
Keep in mind that we see what they want us to see. We only see a small fraction of the time they actually spend together. It's very heavily edited.
One of my friends did a short stint on a reality show and she was shocked at how they could take something/anything and make it into drama. She realized how naive she had been going into it. She quit because she had no control over how they edited it and what they showed. They made her look like a crazy person.

I totally agree, the superficiality of the conversations is just ridiculous, and it's the same year after year. However, I remember when Emily broke Ari's heart, he mentioned some things they had talked about at length (leading to such shock when she dumped him), and we never got to see any of that on the show. I don't know why they persist in showing these dumb-ass conversations about how nervous they are and how this could really be something that will last, blah blah blah. Not one girl has asked him a damn thing about himself, and yet they go into great detail about their last relationship....what guy wants to hear that!? If you notice, most of the girls are asking him for reassurance that they are the special ones. And how could he make a commitment to what's-her-face that he would never blindside her??? So he's gonna tell her in advance that she's not getting a rose?

Olivia won't get thrown off....this is all just a tease. (IMO, I have no spoiler info.) Jubilee was too insecure and a little too sarcastic for her own good, when all the other girls are fawning over him.

You do have to admit Olivia is a bit "out there"....besides being overbearing. I would not choose her after watching her...But of course the bachelor doesn't get that opportunity.
I wonder how hers Austin news audience feels after watching her snarky remarks about every other bachelorette. IMO She is extremely fake around Ben.

I think a situation like this, where these ladies are forced to feel competitive would magnify any personality weakness. Jubilli is insecure and withdraws....but Olivia is needy and pushy. Both extremes are unattractive.

I like both Loren's, and the gal with the 2 lil girls...but I think he is attracted physically and mentally by Becca....they had a very good one on one.
Does anyone else how much more candid she is with Ben...than Chris. I think we are finally seeing the real Becca.

Definitely fake! She puts on a persona around him, very Stepford Wife! Always smiling, happy, upbeat, secure, there for him. Weird!

I am just finishing Monday's show. Curious, do you think Ben had already told producers he was sending Jubilli home....it seemed pre-planned...Any thoughts?

I think he probably talks to them ahead of time to find out what he can and can't do....maybe gets some advice from them. It was awful the way they had to sneak out via a back staircase. Then what I didn't understand is, he got in a car (cab?) outside, but then a minute later he was back at the cocktail party.

I did catch an out-of-sequence thing too: It was supposed to be the day after Ben had thrown off Jubilee, but then someone was interviewed that said "When Ben sent Jubilee home tonight"....so clearly part of the interview was done out of synch.

My money is on Lauren the blonde flight attendant or Caila....I think those are the two he has gravitated to from the very beginning.

Agree, very fake, though she looked good coming out of that cake,
Not sure why she was so embarrassed.

I don't like that single mom with the annoying baby voice that sounds
like she's sucking on helium, I forget her name, can't stand her.

Okay, last night perplexed me with the "Lauren B" comment. Was the girl (cannot remember her name) that said that making it up to get a rose? Or did I miss something completely that Lauren B did.

The scene with Olivia was just ridiculous. Like they would really make her stand by herself while Ben left and show her lonely on the island.
