LOL, that was short-lived and unproductive, if I may say so.

I've read all the bios on reality steve (and yes, I know what happens)... and I thought it seemed like A LOT of them were publicity seeking "careers" -- like model, singer, personal trainer, etc. I think there are a couple of doctors (or sort of doctors, like a chiropractor). I don't know. I was thinking that they seemed mostly below Rachel's league. If she's 31-32, then in real life, she would most likely be dating only guys who were 30-38-ish yrs old. I can't imagine she would be very impressed or interested in someone who is 23, 25, etc. Just not enough to offer.

The same was at issue with Nick, although guys tend to date a bit younger. But, he was 36... he needed a slew of women who were 28-36. But, most of his cast was under 28.

I don't know why they don't cast older guys... oh wait... I DO know why ... older guys already have their (*&^?% together and don't go on a show like this for publicity to launch their careers. The young hotties who think they can break into show biz, blogging, selling stuff, etc. are all going on this show for the exposure. That's why this is doomed.

Yeah, Rachel even said to the one guy who was in his later 30's something like "Oh, I already like that."

Seriously if someone's really looking for their soul mate, it seems like every season they pick the strange person like Waboom. After watching him do that once, he would be out the door.

I have heard this. They choose their top x number (say 3 or 6) from the first night. I've even heard from before they meet.

The producers then have control over the timing of everyone else's leaving.

So top guys are the only contenders, and the rest are there to stir things up.

on top of it, they usually have their one guy picked by midway.

The one-on-one with Peter- absolutely dreamy!

I really like Rachel and I pity those of you who are so judgmental and body perfectionists. That is a regrettable way to live life. Rachel seems like a really good fit to be bachelorette... lovely, smart, open, mature. All around excellent pick.

I find her refreshing in every way. I can't say the same for the majority of her gentleman callers. And, yes, so annoying producers get to dictate that idiots like Waboom get to stick around.

I think she's gorgeous! And I really like her.

I think Kenny, Peter, and the Argentinian guy will all last a long time.

Agree that the stupid Whaboom guy is just around for controversy and needs to go. He would be funny on Bachelor in Paradise, though!

I also liked how Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis kept throwing shade at the Bachelor (when they asked how many of the guys had a job and insurance, one of the guys said, that's a low bar, and Mila said, have you SEEN the Bachelor before?)

My thoughts from Week 2 - Ashton/Mila week.

1) She handled the DeMario situation like a boss. "I'm going to need you to get the F&!# out!" -- awesome. One of my biggest complaints about Bachelorette was that the women were still simpering cry-babies who couldn't decide what they wanted, even when they were the lead. Not Rachel. She's a badass and I dig her.

2) The guys really are generally quite good, despite the DeMario BS and Whaaaaboom guy. Even with Whaboom you can see hints of a sweet guy, just not my speed. She really has 5 or 6 EXCELLENT ones to pick from at the end.

3) Copper the Dog is the real MVP of this episode. I love that they're featuring her dog. Overall the Bachelor franchise feels very in touch with the realities of the women who watch... Whitney (Chris Soules' ex) and a bunch of the other past girls have started marketing egg freezing, we're seeing the dog play a huge role in Rachel's life. It's like, "Yep, we're just going to acknowledge that dogs and egg freezing are more likely real life for most viewers than a fairytale ending."

Lol. Typical Indian guy. They can talk a good game hypothetically when the girl isn't around. When it's time to go up to the girl and talk to the girl, they can't seem to find their balls.

Did I miss something? Was it not on this week and did that have anything to do with the BIP fiasco?

No. It was b/c of the NBA finals.

Ha! Not in my experience at all.

Good Lord this season is crazy boring. Is it just me or do the guys seem particularly lame this season? It seems like they rushed to cast. There isn't much chemistry at all.

Lame? How about crazy. What was up with the one guy (a personal trainer) accusing Rachel of....something...because he was tracking the number of "black guys" who got one-on-one's versus their white counterparts. Wow.
