Not enjoying this season at all either.   Plus w the spoiler that the FRC takes place at the mansion, no F1, no htd etc. I think there might be a total of 15 min over 3 episodes I've actually liked. Thought perhaps it was just me..But see that others aren't enjoying this season.  Knowing Nick will be on next week is the Only thing keeping me from deleting this show from DVR tonight.

Totally Agree if Nick was not coming on next week I would defentiely be done with this show. I do not even see a guy on there that I would watch as the next lead

You forgot barely any travel, just Ireland. Is it too late to bring Britt back??

Britt will do nothing for the show, though. She'll be OTT all episode long. I don't know if I could handle that.

I'm bummed about the no traveling and HTD. Those were usually the most fun to watch. I hope they bring that back next season.

I agree, Britt would not make a difference. On the contrary she would make an already dreary situation even worse.
Not that I think it is dreary. If they had left 10 minutes of Kupla (or whatever his name is) and the healer on the cutting floor things would have been better.
Once I got over the fact that there were 10 year olds in the classroom - that date was really very funny.

Ummmm so you guys are saying I shouldn't watch then? This sucks, I want the oft repeated 'journey' script back! 

I'm really hoping RS is right and she walked away alone. I wouldn't blame her at all. She's not all that into any of these guys. It's not sad, it's okay.

Ummm, do the producers not know their audience is women?  These dates seem planned by and for a bunch of 13 year old boys. Missing my fake romance and hating the lack of closure for the week from a rose ceremony.

I like a lot of the guys - Joshua, The Bens, Jared, Shawn and Chris - but we get so little with them.  Overall, TPTB are majorly failing with this one after what was a really well put together and produced Bachelor season, IMO.

ETA: Hopefully Nick to the rescue.

We say the first few episodes are bad each season. They focus on the drama and keep the top contenders hidden for the most part.
The downside of this season is that the dates are bad but they have been getting worse recently anyway.

I see two options here with the failure of a first three episodes:

1.) The producers are making these first few episodes a circus (as Tony put it) because there was no real love story to tell.  Just a lot of kissing and drama to fill the episodes until the real love story shows up. Enter Nick.  Who knows what happens in the end, but K certainly has a happy smile on her face when he shows up.  Almost like sunshine on a cloudy day.

2.) The producers are making these first few episodes a mess as a misdirect to cover up the real love story (likely with Shawn).  We only got to see the physical chemistry with the top contenders.  I would hope they did actually have some conversations with substance in between all those make out sessions.  Then when Nick enters the story, he is the tool of misdirection (all the drama with the guys ect) and reason we would question K's relationship with Shawn.  

Again, don't know what happened in the end, but I am not feeling the beginning of this season.  It might be my love for Nick, but it sure seems like the producers are waiting for his arrival to start telling the love story portion of this season if we are going to have one at all.  Even if K felt more for Shawn than Nick in the end, they are waiting to bring that out until Nick shows up.

People complained last season was the "Nick show". This is his sequel. I mean the entire preview for next week was his return. Wow!

Eh, nothing about this season is standing out to me so far. I didn't think the sumo wrestling was any worse than the stripping from Andi's or the naked modeling from JP's. A couple of guys not being into the Bachelorette is pretty normal, and Kaitlyn is probably faring better than Ashley and Jillian in that respect. The main issue is that she doesn't actually seem to be into anyone! Despite what she is saying, I am seeing zero chemistry with anyone (except Shawn, but even that is not too crazy hot)! I'm excited to see her with Nick, because their kisses looked hot in the promos. I am leaning towards her picking no one, just based on chemistry so far.

I'm interested to see Nick and Kait together. She keeps talking about a dude that can fight for her, protect her, and be really manly but I don't really see that from Nick. Just doesn't seem like his personality to me but then again, I don't follow him so how would I know? I'll be curious to see their relationship and if it's more than friendship, especially if he's sex guy.

From the promos I can buy that Nick is the sex guy. Heck he was the sex guy last season and Kaitlyn would likely want to know what all the fuss (Andi) was about. Seems like the producers have him pegged.
Besides that he apparently caused ire among the guys. Double check.

Regardless of how this all turns out - he will have played his part. On all counts.

Nick is the guy that would fight for her. Risk it all for her.  His very entrance onto the show makes that clear.  
I agree that I am looking forward to see K and Nick's relationship.  I bet he is nervous to meet her in person at first.  She is his crush.   Like a nervous schoolboy.

But in my opinion, actions speak louder than words. Now he fact that he showed up the way he did speaks volumes IMO.  She did not take well to Clint's laid back approach to her.  IMO, she is excited by Nick's risk for love and shows him by letting him stay.  

I am most interested to see if they show more than the physical chemistry between Nick and K. Like the intellectual and emotional connection as these were some of the most important things to Nick (per his statements during and post last season).  So far that would be unique for K with her guys as they have mostly shown the physical chemistry with all of them.
