The main storyline for the first part of this episode was the Becca-Colton-Tia-Chris quadrangle. Colton is still in love with Becca and tells Chris it is fine if he wants to date Tia. Tia immediately felt like she and Colton were back together after the romantic makeoutsesh on the yacht. Becca shows up in Paradise to twist the knife into Colton a little bit. Why on earth would you want to be in Paradise with the virgin guy who cries all the time.
Kenny got the date card and wasted it on Krystal who has already injured her foot trying to walk. They went to a Mexican wrestling match where Kenny got to get in the ring and “beat everyone up.” It was perhaps even faker that Krystal. Canadian Kevin also likes Krystal and is not happy about this date. Astrid latches on to Kevin. Kevin seems to think it is an upgrade. Kevin seems attracted to the crazy ones.
Jordan and Annaliese share a kiss. Annaliese is thrilled. Even if she is making out with a gay guy, Wells has a co-bartender this season. She’s from Japan, doesn’t speak English and doesn’t know how to make drinks. This should be hysterical. I loved her on Bachelor Winter Games. Shut up. You know you watched Bachelor Winter Games.
Back from recapping RHOOC. 🙂 Busy night.
Oh Tia, if Colton wanted you, he would not tell Chris he can date her if he wants to. There is your answer, Tia. Colton says he wants to date other girls. He is fine with her dating other people. Tia how many times are you going to ask this question? Girlfriend, he is just not that into you. Now she is threatening him with the rose. He says she is pressuring her. She says she is not. She totally is. I totally believe most of the tears on this show. That’s what makes it so amazing. He has literally told her two dozen ways that he is not into her and doesn’t know what he wants and she keeps arguing with him. I shouldn’t mock. I’ve done this before. But its pathetic to watch. Then Chris says all the right things to her and she seems half on board with Chris again. But there is no telling what she will do. Colton goes off to beg for a rose from Angela.
First Rose Ceremony Matchups
Krystal chose Kenny
Astrid chose Kevin
Tia chose Chris
Kendell chose Joe
Annaliese chose Jordan (ew)
Nysha chose Eric
Random blonde (?) chose David (?)
Angela chose John!!!!!!! I thought he was going home for sure
Bibiana chose Colton SHOCKING!
Nick and Wills were sent home. Don’t know Nick, sad to see Wills go.
Becca comes to talk just to the girls. Colton goes to the beach alone to cry. He hasn’t seen her yet. Colton tells producers that he thought he was ready to do this show, but he’s not. These tears I’m not really believing. Where are the women to come forward to say they have slept with him? Because I don’t believe he’s a virgin. Colton goes to his cabin to cry and apparently caught a glimpse of Becca. Some guy shows up to check o him and I can’t tell who he is but he’s hot. Maybe it is David? I was so busy trying to figure out who he was when the random blond picked him, I didn’t pay much attention to him. Colton tells whoever it is that he doesn’t think he can do this. I am counting down to Becca giving him the speech about how broken-hearted she was when Arie dumped her and she went right back on the show and met the man of her dreams.
Lordy, tomorrow night is another TWO HOURS. We see Becca talk to Colton, Chris goes for fucking Krystal, Tia is the one not chosen AGAIN, Jordan goes on a date with one of then new girls and forgets all about this week’s beard. It’s ridiculous. And I’ll be watching.
Chris goes for Krystal? Wow! Tia just can’t catch a break, but she did in a way because she didn’t choose Colton – yet. He was telling her very clearly to move on, but it was funny to hear her version of events to her friends, versus his to the guys. Men definitely are from Mars and women from Venus.Why would anyone choose Jordan – he’s downright nasty and full of himself. I guess I have a bitchy streak because I love to see guys like that taken down a peg or two. Can’t wait. As for Bibiana (for some strange reason, my warped brain keeps wanting to call her Iguana) choosing Colton – that was obviously a major B/S Production move – she didn’t have anyone she really wanted so they pressured her to keep him in the game. I could see that coming from a mile away as he stood there – they weren’t going to let all that drama escape so easily.
Having Becca come back to twist the knife into Colton’s heart again was a pretty nasty move, although I guess she needed to make it clear that Tia had nothing to do with him going home. She just wasn’t into him, and who wants a 26 year-old male virgin anyway? I guess it’s better than some man-ho who slept with countless women, but isn’t there somewhere in between? I have such a hard time believing he is one, but I guess anything’s possible. It does add another kink to his personality though – so unusual for someone who doesn’t seem to be ultra-religious, in this day and age. Maybe knowing the truth about Becca, and Tia’s lack of influence on her decision to send him home, will help him move forward. I still don’t rule out him getting back with Tia in the future – she’s infatuated enough that she could still overlook the fact that he doesn’t seem to have a problem dumping her for someone else, whenever the whim strikes.
I really like Trader Joe – he seems like a genuine guy, unless he’s a really good actor. Kendall made a smart move, and she seems like a sweet girl. Don’t like Kevin too much – somehow he reminds me of Derek Dillard, Duggar ingrate son-in-law. Kevin’s face has that same slightly skewed look to it, but not as bad, plus I think he’s too full of himself also.
I’m realizing that I’ve become a very cynical old broad in my antiquity – I wouldn’t trust any of the guys. If the intent of the game was just to find love interests, that would be one thing, but the goal is to get someone, anyone, to pick you so you don’t get sent home. Every time a guy was sweet-talking me, I’d imagine that all he really saw was a giant, slightly wilted rose sitting there, and he could be spouting those (mostly) insincere words to anyone who could potentially save his butt. I guess that’s why it’s probably a good job that I found someone who, for some inconceivable reason, thought I was a catch back in 1965, and that I, in all my innocence, thought he was one too. That lasted until 2017, and I’ve no wish to ever replace him, so I never really experienced the modern dating pool, and that’s probably a good job, as mistrustful as I am.Good luck to all of you who are looking for good guys. I think my brain has been warped by watching too many reality shows.
Joe is my favorite. I honestly think he believes this show is about finding love. However, Kendall is not the girl for him. I loved when he said that’s this experience is opening him up to other girls. I want him to have his own mini bachelor show. I don’t think abc would give him the full bachelor show but maybe another network would.
Tia and Colton are making paradise kinda miserable. Tia needs to see the signs, they are right in front of her. I also get why Colton is upset about Becca, paradise was shot before Men Tell All, so he hasn’t gotten his “closure”.
I miss Wills already, he’s so sweet. He and Eric are my favorites.
I also think Canadian Kevin thought he was going to be the hot commodity and have the women fall all over him.
Lastly, the goose gang and their leader Chris need to get over themselves. Chris said he’s back to redeem him self and rehab his image, he’s making himself look just as bad as he did on the bachelorette.
O/T- Hi Tamara, How about a purple pen on Luann’s Megyn Kelly’s interview? She spun not setting up a trust for her kids into “I’m keeping tne Sag Harbor home because I love them”- sounds fishy.
I don’t think Colton knows himself yet. I wish him the best, but I think it’s better to avoid dating men who don’t really have a sense of self.
