I think she knew that if she dumped Joe, none of the other guys would give her a rose and she would be gone. 

I was thinking the same.

Yes, she looks manipulative to me.

I have no words for Samantha last night. I was actually feeling a bit sorry for Joe if that is even possible. And it looks like things get worse with her in tonight s (monday) episode.
It is curious though that girls like Amber seem to be in her camp.

^^^yep not her best moments for sure. Nick just looks baffled...

Will be interesting if her edit turns. She is pretty for sure but comes across opportunistic and ingenuine.

I was actually feeling a bit bad for Joe too. He is a total jerk but he almost has me believing that he was lovesick and crazy waiting for this girl of his dreams to arrive. Temporary insanity???!!

Dan was on after buzz and basically defended Samantha saying that Joe kept her away from the rest of the group, would answer questions for her, and that Sami just fell into Joe's trap and she's nothing like this in real life. He also didn't like Joe, saying that when Joe fell into that depression, no one felt bad for him b/c he was that disliked. 

I don't know, I just think Sami is a good actress. I still think she's the master manipulator here and did much worse than Joe, and i hate that everyone keeps giving her a pass for it.

^ I agree. The way Sam treated Julia is very telling, just like what Sharleen pointed out in her recap, who in the right mind would stop the girl friend from telling her worries, her sadness. And how she blamed Joe for all the drama was just crazy.

And the only vibe I got from Sam in this drama is - entitled.

Oh the irony....Me thinks that Samantha and Joe are two peas in a pod. You cannot take back that type of behavior, no matter what the excuse...

I would never give either one of them a chance in real life.

Ugly is as UGLY DOES.

So, in Jade's periscope she talked about knowing Sami pre-bachelor.
She said that she knew Sami from when she was dating Jeremy Piven.

HUH? On what planet does someone go from dating an A-list actor to B or BIP?

Well, TBH there are a LOT of women out there who once used to 'date' Jeremy Piven. ;) That guy is known for playing the field, plus, for being a total douchnoozle, so I guess she's got a type..(not that she is any better)

I read a recap that talked about Sami's "dead Barbie eyes." Those eyes combined with her inappropriate giggles and vague comments make her sketchy to me. Although she led Joe on, at least she tried to be a little consoling to him, even though he rightly saw right through her. Joe just didn't pretend to care about anyone but himself and Sam.

Haha, yeah, I don't think she was anything more than one of the dozens of women he was sleeping with at the time. No different than Courtney situation with adrien grenier -  btw, these bachelor girls really like the entourage boys, huh? Even in the MM spree cast, she basically said they were having "fun" and she would be open to doing BIP. 

I do think it shows that's the type of guy she is aiming for - someone who will help her brand, keep her in the tabloids. If I were to guess, she's going to dump Nick as soon as someone more famous comes around.

That's what I was thinking, though, I was thinking about what my mother used to always say to me, "Pretty is as pretty does." Samantha doesn't impress me in the least. She hasn't grown up and is used to using guys. I am embarrassed to say that I was like that 'back in the day.'
