Bachelorette 17 - Katie Thurston - Aug 9 (FRC) - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

@Aunties_Love Please be careful, the air quality can be so bad. Last year we were told to pack up and be ready to evacuate but the firefighters were able to "hold the line". It's really nerve wracking and scary.

Wow, it's hard to be a caregiver to a parent, especially when he was relatively young. Then to have the therapist die...oh,my. I say let's give this guy some grace.

This the perfect kind of guy for producers because they can really mess with his head. I don't think he is a bad guy. IMO seems very sensitive, immature, not a great communicator and probably overwhelmed by this whole situation. This was just not the place for him. He seemed to be well liked by the other guys and I saw a lot of empathy from him during the course of the show. He may have gone to acting school, but I never saw "acting" from him. If he was acting then he was the greatest terrible actor I have ever seen.

Greg and Katie are just not a good match. Simple as that. They both have a lot of issues and are very needy, even though she tries to come across as some confident, strong woman. They both need someone who is actually strong, calm, grounded, sure of themselves and able to talk them back to reality. I hope they both get the help that they need so they can move on and live their best lives.

He and his dad went to see a basketball game one night and then the next day his dad was diagnosed with cancer and was given three months to live….
It’s tough. I don’t know if I can handle that even though I am in my 5os!

I hope he finds peace and healing.

I wish Katie and Blake well.

Now, bring on Michelle!

thankyou @pavalygurl. Us on the island have had a few fires nearby but they were put out quite quickly. On the south mainland especially the Okanagan, Kootenay and Thompson/Nicola valleys, they haven't been so lucky. The fires there have been epic this year especially with the heatwaves we have had. Our temps and duration are unheard of as our area has broken historic records over and over. Successive days here on the island we have been over 100 farenheight. In the summer here on the island we normally get around 85. We have now been 51 days without rain.....something that doesn't happen in our "rain forest" environment here, not to mention that in summers in the past, we have a few days of heat then we have some cool down days.....this year that hasn't happened.

I was watching a vid in another thread which reminded me of the ending where Tayshia says something about Michelle, and K says something about leaving to help her? I didn't catch it all but that proves to me the spoiler of them negotiating two weeks prior to the start of filming was incorrect. Does anyone remember if that was in a tabloid or seems to me someone posted it on SM?

At the end on Monday night, Kaitlyn and Tasha were walking away and Kaitlyn said were coming for you Michelle or something like that. Their backs were to the camera so it could have been edited in.

I'm SO ready for Michelle. I think she will bring a great energy, love a diverse group of men, and just give us a gladly needed change of pace.

I'm looking forward to Michelle as well! (Fellow teacher here!)

@Aunties_Love I feel for you with the fires. You live on edge all the time. Our 2020 summer was more like what you are experiencing in 2021 - lots of very hot days + smoke + fire. Due to COVID, we purchased a Blue Air Purifier but it was so helpful in keeping our family room clear of smoke when we were blanketed by it. I have friends who have been evacuated due to the Dixie fire in Northern California. We have been evacuated and it is to no fun! Good luck and keep us updated on how things go - hoping for an improvement. My youngest son LOVED his trip to BC several years ago - I remember his pictures of them hiking through a forest to a river with a thermal hot springs pool next to the freezing cold river. They ran into bears and had quite the experience!

It appears that Blake might actually have been in pest control?? ("Wildlife manager") https://www.facebook.com/AbellPestControl

Dresses through the seasons

Wow, thanks! It’s fun to look back. I think I like Emily’s dress the best, because I like colors.
Maybe @guardianangel can start a BN fashion and beauty thread?

Great idea! We have a general fashion beauty thread but I'll create one for BN. It will be for all countries because the International threads have some gorgeous outfits.

I'll work on that now and move posts over. I'll temporarily lock this thread to avoid further posts on fashion.
