The Bachelor (Joey)

[Anonymous]

Wow, messing with both of them. I think they seem sweet together.

Poor Rachel had the worst date with Joey. Just continually jumping off platforms all day? Multiple times? They didn’t seem to be having much fun leading up to her accident.

probably because the producers told her to.

Kelsey meets with Leslie who just happens to tell her that she should be worried about getting dumped.

Kelsey starts to spiral and worry and the producers say "maybe you should talk to Joey about how you are feeling -- just say 'we need to talk'" ('cause who ever heard that from their girlfriend and thought it was nothing???!

Joey sees the card and then producers start asking him questions like "what do you think she means?" "do you think she's getting cold feet?" "she might be having doubts" -- all for the effect of getting Joey to say things in his interviews like "I'm really worried" "this is the worst thing that could happen" etc etc.

It's ALL for the production value of creating drama that can then get resolved.

+1 There would be no drama with Kelsey as the clear pick. This was all producer-directed.

He's clearly crazy about Kelsey but also very attracted to Daisy. Poor winner having to watch him seriously make out with another woman.

Daisy is getting the Bachelorette edit. Her health story is inspirational but otherwise I find her very boring. If the choice is between her and Maria, I say neither!

There was such contrast behind Rachel’s and Kelsey’s dates! Kelsey gets to lounge around on the front of a boat smooching Joey. Rachel had to keep hoofing it up the scaffolding for another jump.

Yeah, I'd much prefer Rachel or Jenn. Or Lexi, though the timeline pressure might too much for the guys.

I was surprised to find out that Daisy is only 25! She seems older than Joey... definitely more accomplished and has her act together more. I see Joey with someone younger than he is (not Daisy). Joey seems like he's trying to figure out who he is going to be in life and what he wants to do with himself. That works better for someone who "looks up to him" in age... someone who is younger and also trying to figure things out. Daisy is too accomplished for Joey.

Uh, you mean her rap video where she's singing about sucking sx off balls? Or her accomplishment of promoting herself on natl tv? She's not there for the right reasons, that's becoming more clear.

What do you say about Lexi -- the one with endometriosis and on a mission to get married b/c she doesn't have time to wait? She was pretty and certainly wants to get engaged and married. We didn't see a whole lot of her ,but she was able to speak up for herself and tell Joey that he wasn't it for her. That's proof that she can sort through the wheat and the chaff.

I think she'd be a good bachelorette, but agree with PP the time pressure might be off-putting for the men. I do wish she'd chill with the lip filler though.

Daisy fits the typical "Bachelorette" casting mould... but aren't we all bored with that by now? Pretty blonde, comes across as sweet/humble, who has a bit of a sad story.

Who didn't love the Hannah Brown season, right?

We've all seen "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" --- maybe we could use a little "My Big Fat Italian Engagement!"

Maria is Greek, not Italian. And she is extremely immature, performative, narcissistic, and needs to be the center of attention. She won't be a good partner unless she goes to therapy.

Hannah Brown is annoying as hell.

Daisy is too much of the same they have always had, she seems like she cares more about an influencer career than finding a partner now.

I would be interested in seeing Rachel or Jenn.

She’s Greek and Italian … her dad even said it in the last episode.

Maria's dad told Joey we will have a big Greek/Italian wedding because he meant that Maria's family is Greek and that Joey's family is Italian.....

Leslie was such a sad sack on the last episode. Way to ruin Kelsey's good mood. Leslie would be a horrible bachelorette.

Daisy is so not into Joey and is saying what she thinks he wants to hear.

I think Joey is a good person and listener but has a lot of growing up and finding himself to do before he settles down. I like watching him on this show but he doesn't seem totally ready for marriage.

I would love for Kelsey to be his pick though, it seems like they have the right temperament for each other and she could help him figure things out.

Please, that was all producer-directed to introduce (fake) dramatic tension. It was way too clear that he and Kelsey are falling in love, and they needed to make the outcome less clear. Also Leslie was not wrong. Protecting your heart is in fact important in that situation.

Every now and then, there's a lead that I just sit out bc they are so boring.

I'll sit out Daisy's season bc she's just so annoying. She just looks and sounds so dumb. Have the time she just sits there with her mouth open

If she’s not talking about her health challenges, now very well traveled territory, she’s so boring. Just seems to float along with little meaningful to say.
