It was Blake Horstmann saying that the lead should be someone who was in the F3 so they can understand the tough choices and heartache involved at the end.

 Sounds like it's not Susie.

Well that was a fun episode to watch.

I feel like it could have easily been an hour and even that would have been too much. The only part I liked was meeting Clayton's family, especially his parents. Dad was the star of the show.

I'm sorry that Rachel and Gabby had to go through that. I imagine that TPTB had something to do with giving them roses to move on to the f2. I'm sure Fleiss didn't want to lose any bit of drama that could be milked out of it.

I don't know if the panel was needed but did appreciate what Michelle, Kaitlyn, and Cassie had to say. It was nice to see Rodney. Still can't figure out why Clare was there, though.

Clayton is really something else.

I feel for gabby and Rachel. Gabby reading Clayton was everything and I wish she would have just left, but I’m sure production was trying to get her to stay for drama

Cassie at the finale was shocking… without going too much into discussing her and Colton’s relationship, I’m glad she got to say her peace, I felt like she never really got to speak out about what he did to her because he pretty quickly came out after the fact so they may have been a sort of closure for her, trying to advise another woman to avoid the mistakes she made

Both Kaitlyn and Cassie do not look good IMO. Stop with the fillers Kaitlyn.

I couldn't agree with you more [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. These fillers distort their whole face, they are such natural beauties and I don't think they realize what they are doing to their faces. Over time they might regret it , they wont be in their 20's and 30's forever. Geez jmo

Im surprised Cassie was there, I thought for sure she was completely done with bachelor nation for sure. jmo

Well, for once I agree this really is the most dramatic...

On the plus side, I was always kind of meh on Jesse as host, but thought he did a great job tonight.  I also thought that at the rose ceremony Clayton looked the best he did in either season he was on.  A suit that fits and a reasonable hairstyle made a big difference.  I liked his parents more than I expected to as well.  It was nice to see a quick thought from the former BN folks and I thought they all had pertinent things to say.

However, Clayton YIKES!  I go back to what I've been saying all along.  He was way too naive/un-educated about this franchise to be the Bachelor.  TPTB played him badly.  He however is equally at fault for mostly considering his own hype and not thinking a wit about how this would hurt the women involved.  

I truly have no idea how it ends but for all their sakes, I hope he is alone.  Not in a punishing way, but just that he would not be giving any of them, Susie included, what they deserve.  The whole season was too much about him having the attention of lots of women which I think went to his head.  I think he needs to be on his own to get his priorities in check and then consider finding a relationship.

I also am wondering if maybe the Bachelorette will be someone from an earlier season, or someone not in the final few women.  Glad this will happen tomorrow so it's not so dragged out.
