But with that, I knew I had three women left that I felt absolutely amazing about. But Fantasy Suites presented even more pressure than before, and I can tell you now I never expected this week to unfold the way that it did. I had to say a goodbye in a way I never thought I would, to a girl I wasn't sure I ever would say goodbye to … and she did not take it very well at all. I don't think neither she nor I anticipated that kind of emotion overflowing when goodbye happened so unexpectedly. They say what happens in the Fantasy Suites stays in the Fantasy Suites, but next week's episode definitely puts that to the test.

Wow! Getting intense ! It just has to be one of the ILY's. That would just explain so much about the hype and not even referring to one of the F2's. He might say he loves both of the F2's but doesn't mean he says it to the two.

Yes, it does often have interesting tidbits of info that we don't get to see on the show (like the mention of the rattlesnakes on his and Lauren's first date), but ultimately it is edited to go along with the story line of the show and is never going to give away too much. Just like the fact that his blog this week said one day he was in Orange County with Amanda and the next he was in Portland with Lauren... That's not even true. Amanda's date was filmed first and Lauren's was filmed last, almost a week later. Even something as small as that shows that the blog is written to go along with what we see on our screens, whether that is accurate or not.

And don't even get me started on Chris Harrison's blogs. He tries so hard to detract from the obvious relationship right in front of us that it is ridiculous. Saying Ben was only crying because of exhaustion and giving no credit to his feelings for Lauren honestly made me kind of angry. Who does he think he's fooling?

We've always used blogs for sleuthing. Always. It just appears now that it's being discounted because Ben isn't using his blog to "validate" (puke!) his F1, as some have. If the tables had been turned and Ben was writing a "love letter" (as we called Kaitlyn's blogs) to his F1, we would be considering it as a major clue.

I don't think it's fair to see the blogs as suitable for sleuthing boards only when it's expedient.
