Some people's personalities don't project well on tv. The guys said Joe is very quiet. His basketball coach passed away while he was filming. You can see more of his personality and why he's attracted to Michelle in his introduction package during the first episode JMO

Is there a post on the IG for the guys?

I thought the school date was cute, especially the kids. Peter not so much, especially him trying to knock guys off the chairs. I can't believe he got a rose and Pardeep didn't. Seems like producer influence since his adversary, Will, is still there.

I liked the date with Jamie and was disappointed to see him as the cause for the drama at the RC. Talk about an unforced error on his part! I guess he didn't think about the parts that cameras would catch, like him telling Michelle that he wasn't bothered by the rumor.

Michelle was really in her element at the BB date. Joe is very good at it although it may have been a stretch giving him the MVP award from the losing team. He did almost help them win so I guess it works. Peter was annoying again at the after party.

The whole drama at the RC was so unnecessary. I'm sure that the producers played it up but I wish the guys would watch previous shows and realize that the ones running to the lead never make it to the end. I don't know whose idea was canceling the RC (guessing TPTB) but it would have helped Michelle to realize that most guys weren't talking about her and Joe. I still like several of the guys but don't feel like we're getting to know many of them yet. I ended up liking Brandon and Joe more after last night.

I’m really liking all of Michelle’s F4 so far except Joe.
Rodney is really charismatic & extroverted in a way I wasn’t expecting.

Brandon has a youthful enthusiasm that’s fun to watch but also seems pretty mature.

Nayte is way more into Michelle than I thought he’d be at this point. I love that his sole focus is his relationship with Michelle & nothing else.

I’m not buying Joe’s feelings. She’s really into him & I don’t think he’s giving that same energy back. He’s only there for the show imo.

All jmo.

I'm loving Michelle as the bachelorette! And her basketball skills are so impressive!

I, too, liked the school date minus Peter. Not only is he unattractive but he is annoying which makes any possible attractiveness diminish.

Jamie - I really liked his date, going to Joshua Tree and climbing is something any of us would do. Most of all, I liked that he said he would self-eliminate, rather than stay, if there was no attraction. I feel for these guys with sad backstories. Their story is their life and they must accept what was and try to move on. I believe Jamie has and is doing good work in his life. I felt as if Michelle was more into him than he into her during the date.

Basketball date - this was the best group competition date I can remember. Fun, athletic, friendly. Joe clearly is talented but the Blue Team had some great players, too. I liked the 1on1s we saw during the after party.

Cocktail party - ugh. forgettable and regrettable. We now know why Jamie was eliminated earlier than was expected. I do not find Rodney physically attractive but he's a real sweetheart! Not fond of Brandon.

Did anyone give prompts to the basketball game announcer??? He was hilarious!!!!

@jen689 I also think he has beautiful eyes. To me they are one of his best features.

@2observe He was hilarious!
