dI missed the first thirty minutes of this show so The Bachelorette recap will be rushed as I have to watch Ben show up on demand and there is no pausing. But this is the week that we have to figure out how Ben came back. Because wasn’t he gone? I feel like Tayshia has a type and it is white boys who are… a bit on the effeminate side? Not in behavior but in looks. Both Zac and Brenden seem a bit on the pretty boy side. I only notice because that is not my thing. But, I think she should choose Ivan and I don’t think she will. I think she needed a black guy in the final three. I don’t think he is her type. Meanwhile, I’m slow cooking the hell out of some smothered chicken thighs at almost one am at this point I probably won’t eat it until tomorrow.
Also, it is bang card night where she is expected to have sex with three guys. And I don’t doubt she will. Ivan is up first. Zac is super confident and I have thought she would pick him all along. Will that change? I hate that I cannot fast forward on demand. Grr… waits.. I had totally forgotten about Kohls. I could probably buy an immersion blender online there. I’ve been wanting one. Anyway, on to Ivan. I want him to be the next bachelor but they already have a black Bachelor and god forbid they have too. Oh I have seen this. I really need to fast forward. These two set a record for longest kiss in an ice bath. Oh wait this is last week’s episode. So I am never going to understand how Ben got into the mix. back to the show.

Yet here is Ben meeting the parents did I miss all of the banging? I’m not sure what I am watching here. Ben tells her dad that he is in love with Tayshia. Apparently, he also told Tayshia. That was all she wanted to hear. Because it is apparently important to hear “I love you” from the final four.
Zac Meets The Family
Did i miss all the bang cards? And I am hating Tayshia with each meet the parent scenes. Well fuck I just got spoiled pulling photos. i didn’t know this was the finale. Now I am pissed. I don’t see the attraction in Zac C. but he does at least appear to be the front runner. Zac is really selling himself to his dad. And he is buying what Zac is selling. Her mom likes him too. Zac has been her favorite since the beginning.

How is it down to Zac and Ben? I must have missed and entire episode. This is obvious. Tayshia’s dad shows up and tells her to pick Zac. Le sigh. Zac goes on a date with Tayshia. Zac has many behaviors that make it seem like he is lying. But I have known from early on she would pick him. I am bored with the dance lesson so I zip on through. Where is Ben? Is it Zac or nothing? Did she get rid of everyone except Zac? I’m so irritated I missed something. Did someone finally choose not to use their bang cards? So she breaks up with Ben. But first, she builds him up before stabbing him in the heart.
Oh Geeze She Ends Up With Zac
So there is only one person at the final rose ceremony? I think that is rather kind in a way. We knew she would be with Zac from the beginning. She likes dainty white boys. I do admire her for not putting another guy through this. I was pretty obvious that she was going to pick him. Well whoopity do. they are getting married, I would have picked Ivan. She’s an idiot who picked a man child.
Holy FUCK. The Bachelor is next and he is HOT AF!
At first I thought Zac was meh. But then I realized zac looks like matthew mcconaughey. And that is one sexy man!
It seems like they are truly fond of eachother, and I had my doubts but they are still together, sooo. Also though they have not set a wedding date but want to “date ” for a while…. so, they are engaged because,,,,
I think production saw that Zac was it pretty early on, and they did their best to make things interesting.The last episode could have been 45 minutes tops. I loved Ivan, he was a real man. I am sure he will get plenty of DMs from people who deserve him.
I am so looking forward to the Bachelor. The women are so much more entertaining and crazy than the men, and the new Bachelor is something to see….
You crack me up. Yes, there was an episode on Monday night with the “Fantasy Suite” dates. Ivan got to spend the night with her in an airstream trailer where they ‘stayed up talking’ all night. No nooky I’m guessing. She sent Brendan home before the overnight portion as he really wasn’t ready to make that big of a commitment- actually, I missed a few minutes and I think HE might have made the decision. Pretty sure she did the deed with Zac, but I appreciate that she didn’t sleep with all of them- only as a matter of respect for the others (plus, yeah- Zac was going to be it for awhile.
Ben showed up at her door so he could explain that he screwed up by not telling her he loved her at the hometown date. I do think she was genuinely torn between Ben and Zac. I actually found myself smiling at the end of a Bachelor(ette) season which hasn’t happened for a loooooooong time. Really liked Tayshia and the final four guys.
I was wondering if the fact that they weren’t jetting off to exotic destinations actually made it more genuine as they really had to focus on conversations. Seemed more authentic? I dunno.
I agree 100%!
I do love traveling vicariously through the show when they jet set around the world but I really enjoyed this season for the same reasons you did. It felt more authentic and I have not used that word to describe this show is about a decade, LOL.
Why did they switch the nights this week? I totally missed Mondays show.
Monday night they had the fantasy suite dates. Her date with Ivan was in a tiny air stream. She had no physical chemistry during that date and you could tell it was going to be pretty non-passionate. Ivan and Tayshia stayed up all night talking and the next morning as they sat outside eating some kind of fruit and cereal she said something about being glad about getting to know him better. Ivan was in “I am falling in love with you” territory.
Zac’s fantasy suites started out immediately different, he gathered Tayshia in his arms, gave her passionate kisses and told “I Love You” and she responded that she loved him too. The next morning Zac and Tayshia couldn’t keep their hands/eyes off each other and they were served a hot breakfast in the room they were in.
The Bachelor had poor Brendan do a date with Tayshia and Neal Lane where Neal showed him engagement rings, explained the significance of the circle, forever. It was a complete set up and Brendan was uncomfortable the entire date. They never made it to the fantasy suite as Brendan told Tayshia he cared about her but wasn’t ready to make a commitment that would lead to engagement. He hit the self eject button and left.
Ben came back claiming he loved Tayshia which gave her a good reason to boot Ivan as during their all night discussion she determined they just weren’t on the same page when it came to beliefs.
I think it was always Zac, she has fun with Zac and you can tell Zac is crazy about her.
Thanks for this. I somehow missed that episode too! Even though I have Covid brain my DVR should have recorded it.
Did anyone else notice that Antonia from Top Chef was part of Ben’s family visit last week?
I did, and between Guys Grocery Games and Chopped has she even cooked a real meal in the last six years?
