And INTERESTING PART was this:

God is a nonnegotiable, fundamental part of her romantic relationships.
In the second season, with a decent chunk of time passing after her breakup with Caelan, Cassie was asked what she’s now prioritizing in a relationship. “I do want to get married. I could meet the right person tomorrow, I could meet the right person in a year,” she responded. “I think God should be the foundation of that relationship, especially because I’m a Christian and that’s the most important thing to me in finding someone. God fits into every single area of our lives, especially a relationship as important as finding your life partner.”

I found it also interesting that Colton has been a bit more vocal about his faith... was he always like that before on BIP and Bachelorette? Or was that always edited out?

What stood out to me was when Cassie said…

This sentence is a huge puzzle piece in this episode. It shows there WAS some conversation of which to speak, but that it was possibly twisted and misconstrued in some way. Throughout this whole saga, I do wish Caelynn and Cassie had been more specific about this. It would have been far more productive, instead of “it’s all lies, it’s not true”, to defend themselves with something like, “while I did talk about XYZ, it wasn’t in that context and that’s not how I meant it.”

GROUP DATE
Amid Cassie and Kirpa’s heated exchange, there’s a great 4th wall moment, where the concept of being a contestant on this show and having a phone to be able to call someone with is openly deemed ridiculous…

The most obviously forced Girl Chat I’ve ever seen ensues. You can see these two ladies having ZERO interest in talking, each other, or talking to each other, yet they’ve clearly been told to talk about the fact that there’s only one rose left. Kirpa takes one for the team here while all Cassie can muster is a shrug…

This whole portion of this “date” feels like the ultimate drama-milking. OF COURSE Colton gives Cassie the rose (remember, we hardly knew who Kirpa was until a week ago), and upon returning from bidding Kirpa adieu, he grins at Cassie like it was never even a question…
