Hey subscribers! You know how when your best friend has a best friend you just become friends with them because they're best friends with your best friend? That's Camille, our guest host this week. Special thanks to her for watching, taking notes, and providing us with the Michael Jordan gifs we never knew we always needed. Also quick shoutout to roommate and Living Room Peanut Gallery member Carolyn Murdock, who took the following notes:
First guy. Dunno his name. He’s cute? How do I not know him? Which kid was this?
His family seems fun. Go Mom - rocking a shoulder baring top.
Wait what happened with his ex?
All my notes are just questions. I should stop this.
But really, what the EFF happened with the ex? Was she a lizard person? Was she a he? Did she vote Trump? WHAT DID I MISS?
Thank you for your service, Caro. Ok. Onto Camille's commentary:
Friends,
My name is Camille. I'm from Jackson, MS. I love The
Bachelor. I have terrible grammar and I'm ready to voice my opinions. I know
Grace through Laura Grace. Here is our awkward photo. I'm the one rocking
"the Rachel" 10 years after it was a thing:
Let's dig in
It’s Hometowns. That means I ask my peanut gallery to vote
if we are in a real home or a staged home.
Here is a break down by the number for this episode:
- “this
house has too much ugly to be fake” 0 fake homes: 4 real homes
- 4
toddler jumps (see above)
- 3 roses
- 2 wind
swept hairdos
- And
only one Daddy Harrison
Garrett: Some farm in California?
We start with Garrett. Can’t wait to hear his family throw
his ex-wife under the bus?
Garrett, who as we all remember, exited the limo the
minivan and declared himself ready to be a dad. He started their date by having
Becca jump on the back of a tractor and they plant tomatoes. I think it was a
metaphor of their love growing. Wait no, that was the rose bush they planted
next. BORING. But Becca is literally giddy. Giddy.
Here is their exact* conversation:
- Do you
like being out here?-I like being out here.
- Could
you see yourself out here? - I could see myself out here.
This is Lauren and Arie level deep convo.
Which reminds me - RIP Arie
They talk about Garrett’s last relationship. Reminder - that means mostly this:
Garrett thinks his ex was taking him away from his family.
Well, Garrett, not to get all Biblical on your ass but the Bible literally
says, “For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to
his wife.” Leave it to Beaver to get this one wrong. This is a dig at the
producers for editing Garrett as the wholesome and same values (re: religion)
as Becca. We get no real details on 1. any of these values and 2. the ex.
Takeaways from Garrett's family:
- Overall
his family doesn't want to see him get hurt again. They imply that they
should have stepped in during his last relationship and they're not going
to hesitate this time. It's not like Garrett is an almost 30 year old
adult capable of making his own decisions.
- His
sister literally cries/squeals, "You never want to see somebody be
irking (hurting?) like that.” It made my night. We had to rewind it 5
times so I could attempt to write down what she was saying. I have two
brothers and I would never let my voice do this on national television for
either of them.
- Garrett
hugs his grandmother goodbye and tells her, "I love you too,"
and his dad immediately mocks him.
- This
is a huge red flag to those of us who already know Garrett as a misogynistic,
racist Tomi-Lahren-liking jerk. Thanks, social media.
Overall, Becca is totally into him. They edited this to make
Garrett look "wholesome", salt of the earth, and basically like a
minivan-driving, soon to be dad, and overall Becca's dream guy. BUT something
is off with their chemistry when Becca says goodbye. IDK what.
Jason: Buffalo, NY
We’re on the same page with Jason. Right? He’s still around
just because he is a good kisser.
I don't want to fight Grace on her own blog but regarding
Newsies:
Movie > Theatrical butchery of the plot and music.
And Jason is Brooklyn.
Hi it's Grace and I am not looking for a fight either but may I suggest that perhaps:
Netflix Movie Production of the musical > Movie > Live show?
JUST LISTEN TO JOEY'S ACOUSTIC VERSION OF SANTA FE, OK??
I'll keep this brief. But my favorite part about watching
Jason was when Carly's brother, who stopped by our viewing party, called him
" a sleazy investment banker" at the beginning of his segment and
then we realized that he really is a senior investment banker and it blew our
collective-peanut-gallery-minds.
Wing Eating Contest- can you think of a worse televised date
idea? This takes place where the "buffalo" style chicken wing was
invented. Their kiss afterward was #saucy I bet. Can't wait to see a future hometown
at Chick Fil Et...
Ice Skating- Jason calls Becca, Bec-ster, which sounds like
Baxter (oh hey that’s my brother's name)
like 10 times.
Perfect segue 
to Jason's brother.... He's gay and ABC totally normalizes it. Jason obvi loves
and admires his brother and his brother's relationship.

I love Jason.
I love Jason's family.
They are supportive but they also ask him questions that
will lead him to think and form his own conclusions.
Jason has a great goodbye.
- Tells
her he loves her
- Great
kiss #duh
- Becca
says I'll miss you
Blake: Bailey, CO
Blake almost seems too innocent for
this. He's already told Becca that 1. he's falling in love with her and then
last week he said 2. that he's in love with her. He's such a great Bachelor
contestant going through the typical Bachelor motions.
Blake takes us to his high school.
Ok, before you judge him and the producers for making him look like he's stuck
in high school, you need to know two things: 1. Blake's mom worked at the
school and Blake says he grew up spending so much time here 2. Blake and Becca
sit down in the library. I immediately notice the intern made, computer paper-blue
marker #BaileyStrong sign
behind them. It turns out during Blake's senior year, there was a school
shooting. Blake's mom even made the announcement "Code White" on the
intercom. A girl died and this was tragic. Blake goes deep
and talks about his perspective after going through this experience.
The interns had a surprise down the
high school hall- a concert with Betty Who! Who? Betty Who. Becca seemed
pumped. My peanut gallery got in a long debate if Betty Who is wearing a skort
and also the difference between skorts with only the flap in front/shorts in
back vs. Skirt over shorts. We are team skirt over shorts FYI. I opted to wear
a plaid skirt over a navy skort every day of junior/high school so overall I'm
team not-skort but am obvi always willing to give my opinion:
We learned a lot about Blake's
family last week (his mom cheated on his dad with his basketball coach). We
only really see and hear from his mom. She is super protective and mentions how
heartbroken he was after his last break up. Becca seems to really like that
he's been through heart break. I guess bonus points if it's aired unedited on
national television?
They have a great goodbye. Becca is
supa into him. A+ kiss. Becca says see you soon. #swoon
So if you're paying attention, the
first three guys just took up an hour. So Colton and the rose ceremony get an
hour. What's about to go down?
Colton: Somewhere IDGAF, CO
We’re friends by now, right? Right-ok, time to be blunt.
COLTON IS THE WORST. Colton obviously slid into Tia’s dm’s thinking she would
be the next Bachelorette. He had a BRIEF career in the NFL and has been trying
to gain on his popularity into celebrity. 1. Aly Raisman 2. Fake
Non-Profit. Ok it’s real but is he doing it for the right reasons? Also, it's
named after himself and it's a personal pet peeve of mine when people can't
collaborate with an existing non-profit, but that's a different rant for a
different blog that no one will ask me to guest write. 3. I don’t believe that
he is a virgin. I think it's all for camera time. I could go on and on and on
so TIA for listening. Get it? I just said thanks in advance but also threw Tia
under the bus.
Colton takes Becca to a children's hospital. It's so
calculated. I refuse to believe that his heart of stone is really gold. I
refuse to like Colton. (He is great with the children.)
Colton has a large family. (He is great with the children. )
Colton's dad questions Colton about Becca being ready for
another relationship back to back with Arie. Then his dad mentions Tia to
Becca. Colton's dad is a bitch. Colton talks to his mom about his virginity,
fantasy suites, and tells her that he loves Becca. Mom is on board. I'm
overboard #Goldie Hawn
Colton tells Becca he loves her. They actually have a great
goodbye.
Girls: Tia, Caroline, Kendall,
Seinne, and Bekah (aka short hair Becca)
Nothing like some girl time at a roof top bar with mimosas
champagne glasses full of orange juice. Thanks to The Bachelorette liking to
spoil themselves, we already knew Tia would be throwing a grenade on Colton and
Becca's relationship and honestly, I was let down. Tia obvi was not ready for
confrontation. She was hemming and hawing and finally let it out that she still
has feelings. Neither girls were prepared for the wind on the rooftop. Thank
you, wind. Without you this would have been the worst produced
"confrontation" during this franchise ever. Side note: Do we think
Becca is friends with these girls? I think she is with Caroline but I'm
doubtful on the others. Side side note: Interns did not grab Tia's lip gloss
and it's chilling right behind her during the girl talk.
Rose Ceremony
Friends, let me first share with you that I have been
struggling with the fashion statements this season. Obviously, Wills and Jordan
do not count.
Garrett- All black. Did you think this Rose Ceremony would
be your funeral?
Blake- WTF are you wearing. All black with a red bow tie.
You look like a preppy Chicago Bull. You’re not Michael Jordan, this isn’t the
90’s, and this is not a look.
Jason- I liked his outfit… just not his hair
Colton- Gosh, I do not like you. You look like a 90’s
Chicago Bull with your too-blue suit pushed up on your arms, t-shirt
underneath, and I didn't see but I assume Colton was not wearing socks. If
Becca is wearing a sequined gown the least you can do is put on socks.
Colton walks in and immediately plays the “I’m a virgin”
story card to Daddy Chris Harrison. You can tell that Colton knows he’s getting
a rose and trying to pave the way to becoming Sean Lowe and take the fantasy
out of the Fantasy Suite. Spoiler alert: Colton goes home to BIP with Tia
Roses go to:
Blake
Jason
Garrett
We see the preview of Becca crying on a bed for the ONE
MILLIONTH time with her saying "I did to him what Arie did to me." I
don't know what this means or what will happen... but if there is a Bachelor
god then we will for sure see the-morning-after- Jason with non-slicked back
hair so America can decide if he's attractive or not. Is that too much to ask
for Bachelor producers and interns?
*not exact, but pretty damn close
