The Bachelorette 11 - Kaitlyn Bristowe - Epi 2 May 25th - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

We only know what the show is promoting at this point in terms of sleaze. We don't know if it will play out that way. 
In the past the show seems to follow the "much ado about nothing" plan, imoaa. Promising much and delivering little. So I am preparing myself to think it will move more along these lines. 
Of course, I am not expecting "Little House" plot lines either. Can you imagine Laura, Manzo and Nelly doing a hot tub scene? (loved that show forever!)

With that said, I agree that with Kaitlyn's rather earthy personality, they probably decided to go for the more sleazy train wreck season.  I was also disappointed somewhat in the casting of the guys this year; so few with actual careers (well, fewer than usual), and not that many "lookers" either IMO.

I'm on the same page as you. Kaitlyn's men aren't floating my boat either. Lots of big, burly, gym rats. Not my thing.

Can't say I even have a feel for anyone's personality yet because we haven't been shown much conversation or substance. Only one we've heard much from is JJ and it's all bad! So, 3 episodes in and I haven't even found one to "root for" or ogle over! This is going to be a loooong season for me if I can't "connect" with anyone! Maybe Nick will make it better???

MF, throw me a bone! Let me hear someone string together a few meaningful sentences!!! Anything that will prove that one of them has more than a walnut for a brain!

It's the same every season to me. I only end up liking a few of the guys each time and hardly ever are any of them my type. Doesn't spoil it for me because I end up liking personalities over looks. I find after watching almost all of the seasons (except first 2), I'm getting less invested each season. It's just entertainment for me and of course I love the board and seeing other's opinions. I think Kaitlyn's doing just fine and Fleiss is just as disgusting as always. JMHO

ITA. It's just kind of scary to think that the most thought-provoking (for me) comments have been from Tony!

Couldn't have said it better. About the only redeeming thing I find with the franchise any more is this forum.

When Tony talked, I got confused, thinking "wait, Jared was the one who got the concussion and Tony wasn't even on the boxing date, ...... so how did his gray matter get so jumbled" 

Tony should definitely go on BIP... he could carry on with his "meaning of life and love" soliquies there. That would be entertaining! The cast-off, eccentrics, and crazies all coming together on BIP... now that would be good tv.
