But I just can't help but think she settled for him just for a ring, marriage, kids etc. She was repulsed by him, and very cruel with what she said about him at first. I know Evan laughs about it now, but Carly just seems really into the whole BIP "success story" and the attention. 

I feel like Ben Z. is just really awkward with women, or he doesn't know how to flirt? Not sure, but he hasn't had a girlfriend since Kaitlyn's season 2 years ago. I'm sure there are tons of girls who would love to date him, not sure why he hasn't met someone. 

I find the whole Danielle M. and Wells storyline hard to believe. They have known each other for years, live in the same town, I just feel like if they were into each other they could already be dating. I just fell like the whole kiss was forced. I doubt they will date IRL. Seemed like it was just for a storyline IMO. 

What is up with all these guys being douches? Diggy seemed like he liked Lacey, and were all over each other making out. Then he tells Dom that there was nothing there? What? They realize they are on a show right, people can see that they are lying. Just like Dean told Kristina, that him and DLo had no romance and had just a peck. So dumb. 

It's weird how they are barely showing Amanda at all. I'm not a fan of Taylor and Derek. Taylor drives me crazy. Her personality is so snobby and annoying. She just seems like she thinks she is so great/smart/pretty....I don't really get why Derek just attached himself to her so quick. Don't get what he sees in her.

That really bothered me. If Diggy had said, "Lacey and I had a great time, but I am open to exploring other relationships, and I am very excited to get to know you better," I would have respected him more. But to put down his date with Lacey was needlessly cruel. I think he did enjoy the date very much, it's just that Dominique checked off more of his boxes.

I like Carly and Evan because once she had a reality check, Carly realized Evan was a great guy who would feel honored to have her, IMO. She didn't settle at all, IMO she found a man who loved her, honored that, loved him for loving her, married him and is having his baby. That makes her smarter than every woman who has wasted her life waiting for a
dream that will never happen. She won and is living the dream because she was realistic and smart.JMO

Ben Z is a huge disappointment because he is this big, beautiful man who's in love with his dog and can't stop talking about it. It makes him 100% unappealing, boring and neutralizes his sex appeal, IMO The worst part is no one cares enough to tell him.

For Danielle and Wells - friends who care about and respect each other as friends first, fall in love and marry and live happily ever after all the time. Those relationships often have built in strength and endurance because they are built on the strongest foundation of all - a loving friendship IMO.

Taylor IS very smart and pretty, IMO. Derek doesn't see what people who don't care for her see, he sees what she shows him because they are still early in their relationship. Eventually he will see more but, by then - she will have hooked him if she knows what she's doing. Besides, men value different characteristics in women than other women do and as long as they see those things (initially physical, also warmth, support, attention, affection-things that distinguish us as women). Men don't care about petty things that drive women to distraction. Any time a woman measures another woman by what she herself likes, she is guaranteed to underestimate her and not get what men see in her. It's important to remember, he is a MAN. As such, he has different priorities and what other women think of his love interest generally matters not, IMO.

Diggy and Dean are not talking to the audience/camera. They are talking to the woman in front of them and saying what they think they need to say to move their agenda forward, IMO. At their core, based upon the oldest game in the history of the world, men are predators, the girl they are most attracted to is the prey - nothing new there - on the contrary, this artificial timeframe, new additions and the rose power plus, the threat of being sent home places the normal games of nature on steroids, IMO. I'd be having fun with this show if they'd forget about all this Demario/Corinne sideshow.

And she asked about his dog I hope we do get to see some interaction from them because he's the one who gives her a rose at the next RC, which also begs the question - why would DLo still be with Dean when he gives Kristina his rose over her? Why are both Kristina and DLo still so into him when he had them both feel like "second choice" at different times?
