Yes! Yes! Yes!

I'd love that!  

Come join us in the Bach NZ thread. The new season starts next Monday March 7.

I am looking forward to it! I need to reset my Kiwi clock. Is it two episodes per week and what time? I will figure out the time zone on my end. Not that I get to watch very many epi's but look forward to reading posts here.

Its on Mondays and Tuesdays from 7.30 to 8.30pm NZ time. If you have VPN on your computer you should be able to watch it on TV3's On Demand website no more than about 15 minutes after its aired.

Thanks Katie!

It's while I work, I will have to download them later

It's while I sleep, 1:30am Monday. That's why I can only watch when I see links posted, and even then sometimes I can't get in. I depend on the commentary here, so thanks to all for that!

That is hilarious, especially the part where Ben is climbing the ruins!    

Hi! I have not been on the board much this season because I am totally unspoiled. I just felt like watching it completely from within my own head this time. It's very difficult for me to come to this board and NOT participate in discussions, so I've been pretty scarce.

What I'm wondering about is this: In the spoiled threads, are posters going ballistic over Ben saying ILY (multiple times) to both L and J? In seasons past, comments like "Christmas in Texas", "honored to receive a ring from you", etc have basically led to the lead being verbally crucified. I have my own thoughts on Ben's ILYs, why he said it and what it all means for his relationship, but I'm just curious to hear from some of the spoiled people as to how the posters are reacting to it. TIA.

Now for my 2 cents about F1 versus F2: I think he has had several quality women to choose from. I like both Lauren and Jojo. Jojo's hometown date did not go very smoothly, but neither did Ian's and we all know Meredith still picked him. I don't fall for the editor's crap--ex-boyfriend flowers, brothers, etc. I go by what I see with my own 2 eyes when the lead looks into the contestant's eyes.

I think he admires Lauren, thinks she is cute, nice, and sweet. However, I think they are too similar in personality and demeanor, and they have more of a puppy love thing going on. Their kisses are pecks. They act like teenagers IMO.

I think family is very important to Ben and Jojo's hometown made him take pause, however, I think that for weeks he has been saying that Jojo is the women with whom is is the most "like himself". In contrast, he says that Lauren is "too good for him", which in my mind means that they don't mesh up completely on some subconscious level. He has said that there is passion, chemistry with Jojo and she brings out a joy and playfulness in him. That, to me, spells a truer, deeper love. And he can't keep his hands or lips off of her.

So, if you ask me, little ole unspoiled me, I say Jojo is F1. Hopefully, he can communicate to her his confusion and ILYs to Lauren, and they can get through the rough patch. Good luck to him when he says goodbye to that poor F2. Whoever she may be, she's going to be very hurt, more hurt than if he kept his ILYs to himself. IMO.

Mia!

Yes, the threads are buzzing with various opinions of the two ILY's.

I enjoyed reading your post and admire your ability to avoid reading spoilers!

Look forward to more of your thoughts!
