Bachelor 22 - Speculation - *Sleuthing Spoilers* - Discussion

Amethyst wrote:Part of me gets the no soap thing for the body. My skin is sensitive and I used to be in agony after showers with Ivory soap. A family member turned me on to Aveeno and eventually I switched to Dove soap, which I still use. Many dermatologists think we wash our bodies too much, anyway. Plus, people with very dry skin often use oil or cream to clean their skin instead of soap. And the rubbing and friction that happens with a washcloth does do most of the work.

LOL, this is going so off topic, but I get the using less soap thing. Scientists do say we over use it. But you still need it for the dirty parts (like armpits and groin)! And he doesn't do it for sensitivity reasons - he thinks that that corporations have tricked us into buying soap and this is his stand against it. He also doesn't believe in putting chemicals on his body and thinks that he's able to force immunity by exposing his body to more pathogens. I just think it's all BS that he spews to sound cool because a) he said he couldn't ever date anyone who doesn't use soap (so clearly he doesn't feel that strongly about the whole corporations thing) and he so clearly uses hair product, so he's cool with being a consumer when it comes to that (and deodorant and hand soap), but not $2 soap? Ugh, I think he's an idiot, sorry. IMO.

Ok...well that was certainly interesting. Thanks for the answers. Sorry for the OT.

So it's ok if he doesn't use soap, but he wouldn't date someone who didn't? wow

Let's give thanks he uses toilet paper.

After his whole Kristina/DLo mess (that's still going on)? After he proudly tells the world that he doesn't use soap or shampoo? After his embarrasing social media games? I know they can do it (see: Ben F, Jesse, etc), but my god. That would be a trainwreck of epic proportions. Wells, King of drunken Snapchats, would only be slightly better. IMO.

You make good points @Aria. I have missed Wells' drunken Snapchats, have to check into those. I do think the "embarassing social media games" award will go to Peter and his Daddy for their combined assaults on Twitter and Instagram. Dean's Kristina/DLo mess is already being repaired IMO, with travel and Becca and JoJo and solo and social service. The soap thing would be scary to me except, those closer to him than we are have not complained. He made it to Big 4 with Rach and that's an endorsement, IMO.

Honestly, I am not impartial. I find Peter to be the proverbial "watching paint dry" . He's such a paper doll for me and I genuinely do not see evidence that he is emotionally in shape for the rigors of dating, eliminating and making a choice from 30 women. Quite the contrary. JMO I don't blame him at all for having too much pride to propose to Rachel knowing he was F2 but, this is a man still crying over a relationship he claims he himself put in his rear view mirror two years ago. :shocked!: Plus, his thin skin is on perpetual display via his IG likes and follows/unfollows behavior and his Daddykin's Twitter and even his promotional products?! i.e. cups that read: "the world is full of Bryans...find your Peter" W-T-H? Clearly, he does need to find his peter and get papa to stand down. Feels like PeeWee Softball/Soccer Leagues' effusively overwrought dad days with my six year old. Been there, done that. Jeez and JMO

I think it's quite likely tptb asked and Peter turned them down. I don't buy that they didn't ask. I do think refusal is best for him though I'm not pretending to care about him or, trying to posture disingenuously that I'd be anything other than thrilled to hear that he just said "no". I'm just tired of him. Boy, BYE!

I will concede that Dean is a bit of a trainwreck but, that's one of the reasons we love and want to save Rachel's "beautiful surprise". JMO I have other favorites from Rachel's season too like; Studly, Lovely Adam, Manly Matt, Alex the Unicorn and Genius GQ Will. I'd vote for any of them.

Do we know that for certain?
Did I miss him telling us that?
Or is that just your opinion, Kasha?     JK

CHGOhighlife, I love the paper doll reference. Reminds me of playing with mine 65 years ago and dressing them in all their pretty clothes. They looked beautiful but just weren't worth a darn when it came to any type of real interaction.

Not only Ashley I, Becca also seem into Dean.. I just don't get the appeal

I was speculating! You are right. I don't know for a fact. Anyone want to take one for the team and find out?

One thing about Dean...

Since he seems to fall for more than 1 girl at one time, his season could be one that we really wouldn't know who his F1 would be until the end

Point well taken!

You can't convince me those great clothes aren't magnetized to Pete's cold, hard body by those two pretend black friends at the deserted club/theatre set he took Rach to in super cosmopolitan downtown Madison, to demo the "amazing life" he was offering.    (no offense to any lovely poster who may live there)
