It's my birthday, so am having dinner with my awesome husband. Could do it tomorrow, as I'll be here waiting for my new frig to be delivered.

(BTW you share your birthday with Lauren B!)

Ooh Ooh is happy she has a bidet.... Geez! Like that exceptionally noteworthy.

Hope you had a nice dinner out. I am just going back now and looking at the posts. It will be interesting to see what you see on your play by play - I wonder if we saw the same things.

Amanda is just too cute. She's all smiles just a happy person despite everything.

Of course Olivia has to be droolin' downer.. I really want her to go home.

Yes but what I really what to know is - who owns that weave?

Dear TPTB,

I know this sounds like an oxymoron but...

Your excessive use of drama is making your show incredibly boring!

I second this!

What self respecting gal how NOT shut a guy down after he's used the same line on all the other girls in the room. Good for her. Tude girl! Make him work for it. Though sadly it will probably shoot her in the foot on the Bachelor.

Yes Yes! ITA. I was cheering her on.

tKG! I hope you had a wonderful day!

Katie! thanks for the live recap! It was very enjoyable reading it all. IA the use of the word 'Like' makes me crazy not just on this show, but in every day life.

Katiebelle wrote:Lauren - That's a lot of likes!

He's so loving this - did you see his smile - he's so into her.

Yes, this is the first episode I notice his connection with JoJo, he is into her and Lauren B. It's too early to say but, I think Jojo, Lauren B, and Caila are his top 3. I am waiting to see Jennifer and leah's dates.

Thank you @guardianangel

Had a crazy day. Lovely pm though.

I am really tempted to go back through the eps to just count how many times the word like is used and abused.

Judging by the preview of next week and the bit of Emily freaking out...am wondering if he chooses to keep Olivia a little longer. YIKES!!! I know a lot of this is editing, but she must have been a producer pick. That comment of " The girls don't like how I do things, but I don't care" , doesn't come from social awkwardness. The tone in her voice wasn't right for that kind of insecurity. Instead IMO she is dead set on getting as much time in front of the camera as possible for her own agenda. She's used to pushiness getting her what she wants, whether that hurts someone else or not. JMO

That seems inhumane but could be fun to watch. Can we think of other less aggressive ways to teach me a lesson?

It's been a crazy week.
Reading back over your posts I think we're seeing the same things.
Ben has chemistry with Lauren B that's off the charts.
Followed closely by Jojo.
Not sure about Caila, I think there is some attraction, but not as much.
I think with Amanda it's more protectiveness and admiration then anything else.
I didn't see much going on with Jen, which is sad because I like what I've seen from her.
Lauren H is more friend zone, don't think she'll be there much longer.
Emily is too immature and I think she's starting to have a meltdown.
Leah seems to basically be filler. Would like to know more about her, but gut instinct says she won't make it to hometown dates.
Becca is nice, but I don't see that working long term. Just a feeling I have, maybe I'm reading too much into it. I have really liked their conversations, but feel it's more of a friend zone thing too. not enough spark there.
