A wee 4 hours

Bachademia

1. Welcome! We come to you ready to chat after only 4 hours of fantasy suites on the Bachelorette this week.
2. Question: Where are you unwilling to sleep?
3. Two minute recap: We are reminded, frequently, over the course of Monday and Tuesday night that Rachel and Gabby were hurt by Clayton during the fantasy suite episodes.
   1. First up, Erich and Gabby. They both declare love for each other. Not-a-metaphor of a date, they take a jump into the water. Gabby is scared then eventually jumps. They have a meaningful conversation while the television screen blacks out Gabby’s butt and then they go to the fantasy suite.
   2. Rachel chooses to start fantasy suites with Aven. Half of her date with Aven is actually an interview between Jesse and Tino about how much Tino can’t handle the idea of Rachel with anyone else. And I guess he should be worried because after the fantasy suite rachel says Aven is the “full package” Twice.
   3. Next we watch Tino and Rachel. They basically avoid talking about the whole his parents situation until dinner. Then he’s like, nah they like you and if we get engaged they will come around. Somehow Rachel’s like that’ll do. Then Tino says I love you and Rachel says I love you too (WHAT!) and they go to their hotel room.
   4. Gabby and Jonny’s day is short. They have fun then Jonny’s like yeah, I’m not really ready to settle down. Gabby walks away to think. Then they break up. Then we see glimpses of Jason saying about the same thing as Jonny. Hold on Gabby…
   5. Then Erich comes in and not knowing that this whole thing is totally unrolling in his favor, he has to go and say i dont know how I feel about you sleeping with other people. Then they pause the episdoe for Tuesday
   6. Night two starts with Gabby and Erich on the bridge. Their conversation ends awkwardly.
   7. Jason and Gabby. They go on a date and it seems to be going well. But Gabby feels like she’s grasping for something that isn’t there and Jason– like what is he doing. Finally he comes clean and explains that he’s not ready for an engagement. Gabby tries hard to make it about the show and him being quiet. They go to the fantasy suite and then wake up in separate rooms. Eventually I guess he realized that he just doesn’t want to relationship with Gabby.
   8. Rachel and Zach. They are super nerdy together and boring. So boring. They go to fantasy suites. It is awkward. Like what happened there. Zach says that she grilled him about being ready and then kept questioning his age.
   9. We see Rachel and her guys getting ready for the rose ceremony. Zach is mad. He pulls her aside. WHAT WILL HAPPEN!
   10. Gabby tells Erich he’s the only one and they say I love you.
   11. Then the weirdest most annoying ending. They just stop the episode and Jesse is all like you need to prepare yourself. Good god. Just shorten the episodes. Get this done in one hour and spare us all.
4. Concept 1: Was Erich testing Gabby? He knew what he signed up for, are his concerns justified?
5. Concept 2: Jesse Palmer: Let’s talk about his listening and advice giving skills.
6. Concept 3: Leading people on. Did Jason lead on Gabby? Did Rachel lead on Zach?
7. Host 2 wildcard topic: I want one of the guys to decide they want to marry the other principle (so Gabby’s guy decides he wants Rachel/Nicole or vice versa). Would he be in the wrong? In the real world, when has a significant other of a friend crossed from “I could date them” to “I am crossing a friend line?”
