also the only good thing i am taking from this next bach hype is that no one has mentioned a ben 2.0 in a while its all #blakeforbach or #jasonforbach or Colton

Actually I have seen people say they prefer Ben 2.0 over Colton.

I'm nodding my head yes reading this post, then spit my tea out at the bold. IA!!

None of it bodes for a great season, imo.

I am casting my vote for Jason for Bachelor and that's really about it from Becca's season ... actually, Leo might be interesting.

Wills seemed like a good guy but just too low key and mumbly.

Blake seems like such a sweetie and I am still hoping that she pulls an Arie so that he ends up her F1. I love to watch him dance but not sure if he could pull off the lead.

No thanks on Colton ... not interested in a Virgin season. Definitely good looking guy but he does not appeal to me as lead. I guess I am too old.  My 14 year old self would have thought he's a hottie though.

Actually-- and I was never on board the Joe the Grocer hype train initially, but there would be something very compelling about a season where the lead is a genuine normal guy off the street who had such a clumsy entrance, got eliminated night one, but won everyone over anyway.. He's like everyman! The average Joe! With his grocery store and coy smile and Chicago accent - it would just be so different! That is, of course, if he proves on Paradise that his charm translates onto screen and that he could handle 25 women. Probably won't happen, but I would totally be down for that story instead of just more of the same a la Colton. Snoozefest.

I started following Grocery Joe for BIP sleuthing and what I have seen since he's been back has not made me a fan. To be honest I was not on board the hype train either and I still don't think he is "all that" everyone thinks. IMO, he seems to be trying too hard to be relevant in his IG stories and he is falling flat. He is trying to be funny and I don't find him funny. I hope he is better on BIP but I'm just not feeling Grocery Joe.

And, no I wouldn't be watching a season of him either.

Frankly I find pretty much all of the cast … and society in general … trying too hard. Everyone seems to think that their Instagram stories/sm are funny/interesting and guess what? They're not. I don't have time for all that sh*t. I look at the odd one here and there when someone here says oh this is so cute/funny...and it rarely is.


My question regarding grocer Joe is whether his Instagram posts have changed since he was on the show? That will tell me if he is trying hard and/if the thirst for fame has gone to his head.

I’m curious about what plays out on BIP and post-filming because I could see Kevin W building momentum as a Bach contender.

Do we know what week Joe left BIP? The premier is Aug 7th, that gives them plenty of time to prep him for an announcement after BIP if he was let go a couple of weeks before depending on viewer popularity.

@sprite

He first posted on his IG on April 1 of this year.

Why is Colton a virgin? Did he say? Religious reasons, perhaps? I would take him over Ben 2.0 any day!
