I didn't really enjoy this episode. Too many villains taking up too much time. What's funny is that apparently I napped through much of the 2nd GD and didn't even notice until I was listening to the Dear Shandy podcast. Oh well.

I don't know which one was worse but think it was Shanae because she lied about another woman plus told her story that wasn't hers to tell. Cassidy was just annoying in general. They love the drama on this show. What they don't get is that it gets just as boring. I thought Susie's date was good but that's about it for the night.

I loved how the women were all excited about going on the first group date. That will change to disappointment soon enough! The property for the children's birthday party was beautiful, and as someone who likes to swim laps, I was drooling at that pool.

I'm surprised that Clayton fell for Cassidy's little ruse to get time with him, but perhaps at this point he was still feeling his way as lead. Cassidy's unrelenting aggressiveness seems very one-note to me. I think the most interesting villains are the ones with some positive qualities mixed in to counter the bad. Her comment to the table of children, "I spend as little time around you small people as possible," was just shockingly rude.  I loved Gabby's comment in her ITM, "He's acting the fool." She wouldn't be afraid to call Clayton out on any BS, and I think he'd like her better for it.

Susie's date went well. I love whenever a couple on a date buzzes the mansion.

I continue to enjoy Teddi, Elizabeth, and Rachel. I like Mara's rather pointed personality -- I think she adds interest to the show. Eliza is as cute as a button.

Shanae to me is just your basic mean girl. Did she never attend any college parties? If someone zones out on you during a conversation, move on. There were plenty of other women in that house for her to talk to. Pushing Elizabeth off of that float should not have been tolerated. IMO she should have been sent back to the mansion immediately and excluded from further participation in that date. As a matter of fact, once she is eliminated, I never want to see her on the franchise again.
