I don't know why, but that made me  

Sort of like on a cartoon where they are showing the TV static, good one!

Sorry, BaBFans I am a little late with catching up on some episodes and I am just watching the Munich episode.  

The funniest, laugh out loud funny- moment of the series to me, so far is when Michael G found out by elimination that Mike G and (at that point) the least popular man in the frat house, Ben, were set up to go on the first 2-on-1 date together, and that only one of them would come back..."...in this competitive Gladiator-style setting, I now have to go out and murder Ben..."   

I really think Mike G. was set up by TPTB for dramatic purposes.  TPTB totally pimped him out for more drama.  I really think that the Producers of the Bachelor set him up so that he would have to use his prosecutorial skills to virtually annhilate Ben to survive the date and hope to get a one on one date.  The expression on his face when he is contemplating the 2 one 1 date in Munich speaks volumes, like an expression of distaste, concentration and some dread, of the upcoming battle.  Well done, producers!! 

I think Michael G. is not ordinarily, in dating or social situations, a bullying/confrontational type of guy.   Des in the episode 7 or whatever I just saw (where she eliminates Michael G., sorry I am kind of not watching the episodes in order) that she does not see Michael G. being "vulnerable".  But I recall Michael G. telling Des about how he found out he was diabetic at age 16 and she got distracted/taken away but someone or another so she doesn't recall that the very first conversation she had with him was where he was expressing a situation where he was Very Vulnerable, and in fact, he almost died.

I am not a Fightr so I hope I don't offend anyone on here who can't stand Michael G. by expressing this opinion!  It just seems to me that his job/career was too juicy for the producers to Not try to milk for their show, and they did what they could to set him up, and he very capably met the challenge!  I did not particularly DISLIKE Ben, but it was pretty funny how Michael poked holes in Ben's ego on the 2-on-1 date. Ben-the-Bar-Guy was no match for the Smarty pants prosecuter.

Michael is a funny guy.....

   There's nothing sexier to me than a smart and funny man.

I always had a soft spot because I'm a diabetic too. I think Michael is a type 1 as well, so I feel a bit connected to him.

I agree that TB cast him for a specific role. He fulfilled his duties; I am glad he walked away with a friendship with Brooks.

Putting this here as well. This is why I love Michael

Tonight, we tell all that we are contractually obligated and/or permitted to tell and have a blast doing it. #TheBachelorette

I agree about a smart and funny man. Wonderful combination. I like Michael and hope we continue to hear from him.

Love Michael, BTW. :Smiley:  Second fav on the show, behind Brooksy.

I guess. I find the whole MTA/WTA a bore.

Thank you! Can't wait for the big birthday celebration in just a few days. #YAM @ashleefrazier: congrats honey! Proud of you.

What do you think an item or just a figure of speach hmmm??

Probably figure of speech. Ash just gave an interview last week, saying that she is single and plans to stay single for a while.
