I don't think it was any more boring than most seasons I have watched -- especially most of the US seasons -- with manufactured drama and no love story. That's most US Bach shows, imo.

Also, while there was no love story, many times when there is a love story more than the controversial characters that lead/season is seemed boring too.

I recall even Art was called boring and so was Matilda last year when his season aired and yet it is my favorite season ever. Many viewers said how boring and vanilla Art and Matilda were and it was only after the season ended that Art and Matilda became more beloved because their lovestory outlasted any drama.

I guess I am one of those people who watch more for the love story than anything else (silly I know).

Usually it is rare that there is a true love story but I find it usually happens more often than not when the lead and F1 are genuine about love and genuine people. Being genuine is more important to me than entertaining/drama and what makes a show worth watching to me more than controversy/drama which may get viewers/ratings up but I personally find boring.

Watching now...

The setup/stage is really great. So far edited really well.

I am liking seeing the women again - seem to showcase more of who they are which I like.

Mike asking if any of the girls were surprised that Fleur won/was F1 -- none of the girls raise hands -- all say they weren't surprised F1 was Fleur.

Mike asks if anyone though Naz may have had a chance -- Catherine raises her hand, says that their dates were romantic and she was affectionate with Jordan so thought she had a chance and based on the "one week" that she knew Naz.  

Ceri says she thinks that Naz was just in it for the competition and Fleur had genuine feelings so happy for her.

Others agree and say the connection with Fleur and Jordan was early on.

Mike asks Rebecca what happened that she got FIR but not last rose (not that there is one, but still) and Rebecca says that's a questions for Jordan.

Storm and her "kiss is not a contract" and Mike says that there was much more kissing this season and so discuss that.

Kate talking about her not kissing Jordan and moment never arose.

Mike asks what they girls thought about each other asking did they kiss Jordan after dates -- Alysha says only Naz asked.

Gabs says it became a running joke in the house -- like a competition.

Storm in hotseat saying she didn't want to see it as a competition and wasn't in it to win it so wasn't focused on being last girl.

Mike asks girls (Gabs) if Naz's fear of water was real?

Gabs says she doesn't know since Naz didn't have a problem taking the plunge.

Storm says she doesn't think there was any fear of water from Naz.

Kate says that Naz talked about it being like a competition while on the show but says she does think there was chemistry there but Naz was more competition than anyone else.

Kate in hotseat... talks about being friendzoned and says she was stuck like on a Tinder date, have a coffee but not going to get married.

Erin advice to future bachelorettes - stay positive, go with the flow and have fun.

Sounds like possibly another season if talking "future bachelorettes"?

Mike says: "Future bachelorettes, make sure, whatever you do, that you're there for the right reasons".

Mike giving CH a run for his money (Mike is harmless though).

This WTA is edited better than the season itself.

And this was filmed yesterday?

What's the show's excuse for the season?

:/

ETA: just realized - it may be because there's no Jordan on yet!

Claudia on hotseat - says she and Naz similar, confident and what you see is what you get.

Talks about how she goes to Hawaii every year so she didn't care about the trip.
