Bachelorette Recap (Episode 2)
Clare has always been pretty dramatic & she's definitely living up to that this season! Keep reading to see my thoughts on the second episode.
love languages group date...
Okay first of all, I'm a BIG love languages girl. Like I love 'em & am fascinated by them actually. Physical touch is my lowest by far on the love languages scale, so it's funny to me that Clare chose to do that as a part of their date! But I suppose that's a good way to get to know people & how to best love them. Anyways, I was basically twitching watching all of the physical touch & just like gagging because ew. But Clare clearly loved it -- especially Dale!
My face when nobody stepped up to go talk with Clare during the evening portion of the group date. Like that was BEYOND AWKWARD! Props to her for going back & calling them out. You should always stand up for yourself & never stoop to less than what you deserve.
Umm is Clare trying to start a sexy whisper voice kinda like Krystal's from Colton's season? Do y'all remember that? She should stop.
1:1 with Jason...
Jason seems like such a silly little goober so I'm pretty interested to watch this date about emotions! (In case you don't already know, I'm a middle school counselor, so feelings & emotions are my J A M ). I appreciate how much Clare accepts her feelings & wants to know about the men she's interested in as well. First of all, super interesting that the whole date was in the evening. Like usually they spend the majority of the day together, right? Jason is deep. & he's been through a lot. You can just tell. I'd love to have a conversation with him (not because I'm interested, but because I want to counsel him lol). One of my guesses is trauma or abuse, whether it happened to him directly or he just witnessed it. Jason kind of annoyed me during the first episode because I honestly thought he was kind of an airhead & was always giggly. But I'm thinking it was jus a facade & that there's obviously a lot more going on underneath than he lets us see. Alright, getting off my counseling soapbox now!
I've never ever ever considered going on the bachelor, but after I saw this tweet, I'm down!!!
dodgeball group date...
Every single season there's always something that happens that is so super dramatic & makes some contestants mad / uncomfortable -- it just happened earlier this season. Another Alli fact: I am so not athletic at all so a dodgeball date honestly sounds miserable lol. However, I do love watching sports so I suppose I'd enjoy watching this type of date! All of their faces were HILARIOUS when Clare said it was strip dodgeball! Demar said, "She might see my man goodies tonight ... If that happens, that's the Lord's will, right?" Oh Demar, you & I have VERY DIFFERENT ideas of what the Lord's will is!!! I was honestly a bit uncomfortable watching this group date. There's nothing like some white man thigh to make ya feel a little cringey. My eyes about bugged out of my head when she HUGGED THE NAKED MEN. You read that right. I'm so stinking uncomfy.
I like Chasen's name. He's such a sweetie talking about how their kiss was like something you'd read in a fairytale book!
I liked Blake on the first episode, but when he dropped in, he went down a couple of notches in my eyes. I get the idea of going "all in" & going after what you want, but being respectful is more important in my eyes.
I literally giggled out loud when they all went over to confront Blake & they were all talking so tough & then Clare asked them to give her a little bit of time & they were all like "oh yeah yeah yeah for sure yeah whatever" & walked away. I feel a little bit bad for Blake because I think his plan actually backfired. Like Clare pushed him away when he tried to go in for a kiss!
Blake was able to redeem himself later during the cocktail party so I suppose that's good for him. (Also, BOOBIES, CLARE!!! But I think she knows... Those puppies are perky on purpose.)
Brandon kinda butchered it by saying "yeah I came on the show for you" but then later saying "you're just gorgeous, but I don't really know anything about you". It was awk. & Clare didn't take a single second of it. & once I went to find his contestant photo, it literally looks like he's trying to model. Like what are you doing, bud?
rose ceremony...
Wowza Yosef is the definition of a douche. I agree with him that I didn't love the idea of a strip dodgeball date either, however, if you really think she's "classless" then maybe you should just send yourself home? Like I would guess a "classless" girl would not be who you would want, so go home! Otherwise it just looks like you're here for the fame. But he was drama from night one so I suppose I'm not surprised by how things are going with him.
The previews for next week look R O U G H !!!
