IMO, this season the girls are every bit as bad as the men with playing musical chairs, examples Jenna and Kendall. Annaliese and Tia are clearly desperate and men have run from that type since the beginning of time. JMO.

I missed at least half the show, but don't feel that I missed much tonight. I was very disappointed in Eric, who came off as a smooth-talking player. As for Colton, if they pick him as TB, that has got to be the worst edit I've seen going in. Honestly, I think he could go through an entire season of dating two dozen women, and *still* not have a clue as to what he wants. I've cut Annaliese a lot of slack, but I'm about at the end of my patience with her. And I've gone from being mildly annoyed with John for seeming emotionally unengaged to chuckling when he gets yet another date.

West Coast viewer review here... WOW! Eric is such a bullshitter... OMG. I guess he didn’t get the ‘ candy’ from Angela ( she wisely wants to get to know him BEFORE she jumps in the sack with him) and for him that’s what he’s after. But in a very disingenuous way, he is not open about it to the woman he’s with. Yuck. And then to see him scrambling to cover up with Cassandra, still saying ‘ out of context and his “ all in “ is like that ( 3 feet wide) and Angela’s like that (  2 inches) wide. YUCK. Good on Angela for warning Cassandra in a very honest but respectful way and hopefully she cuts her losses and Eric in the same blow.
Colton, very much confirming that he is too immature and insecure to be anywhere any Bach produced, prodded and scripted show. He does not have the wherewithall to stay grounded and doesn’t yet know himself enough to have adequate boundaries, with women, his own family, producers etc. He is a puppet right now. TPTB is playing him like a violin to the max.
As for Tia, I am feeling her pain and at the same time, she certainly was also putting her cart before the horse and was persistently wanting to believe that Colton was THE ONE. Too many flags she couldn’t see.
Kevin is becoming more and more the golden standard that is what the show was built around finding, in yesteryears, but has now been corrupted to the core by lowering their standards with casting and forced storyline.
So we have Jordan comforting Jenna and I found him very endearing and genuinely very skilled at hearing Jenna’s needs, even as she does not really express them out loud. He said the right things but they rang true. She can be a mess and high maintenance and he is so patient with her, ibut it does not seem to phase him so it’s a good complement.
Annalise is another one of those desperate woman who has not really defined herself outside of a relationship with a man. ( kind of the female counterpart to Colton who seems to come from a similar place.) I mean Annaliese is already seeing herself settled in with Kamil. And she can’t stand him being away for half a day... very insecure. (  If she heard how he talks to Shu... another player. )
She repeated the same words she had said about Kenny. Like literally a day later she was finding her Prince Charming.

Such a good moment when Kevin tells Astrid he is falling for her.  :
ETA And for him to be watching Ashley getting engaged right in front of him is pretty cruel. He has the insightful perception that he may have been played all along by her... wow! And yet he stays very gracious and focused on his relationship with Astrid. Keeping the communication open and honest with her. A good sign that they may have something to build upon once they’re ‘ out of the bubble’ .

Analyse needs therapy, poor girl. She is so desperate to marry a guy, that is really sad. All she wants to hear is ILY and I want to marry you.

OMG I'm so on board the Kevin & Astrid ship and I didn't wanna be! She understands him so well and is so considerate of his feelings and patient with him. It's not even that she's more committed than he is, but after Jasmine & Ashley, he needs Astrid to take the lead and she seems to totally get it and is ok with it without needing him to say it, I'm just, i'm overwhelmed. The pure relief on his face when she told him she loves him. Deadass legitimate real tears in my eyes watching them. I need to be reeled back in bc my head is telling me they probably won't work out but my heart is getting in the way. Send help!

Exactly! They are just as bad as the guys.

Colton is not confused, he knows what he wants. He wasn't falling for Tia or no one else, because he knew he was the next bachelor.

Yeah, he knows what he wants and it is all about publicity for him. He'll do anything TPTB want him to do.

Yes and no IMO. The way this show is constructed, and with the constant producer manipulation, almost everyone will look bad at some point.

However, Chris, Leo and now Eric have been on a completely different level when it comes to manipulation and mind games. Anyone who like myself didn’t know the term “gaslighting” before this season have been given an extensive education on how it works and how to avert it.
