Rachel...have you seen this show before? Have you been on a previous season? Did you not learn anything? Right?! She should realize this more than anyone, considering the disaster Clayton's season was. I just want her to look at the room full of guys who ARE happy to be there for her, and quit worrying about any little "rejection" by bozos like Hayden and Logan. She didn't want them anyway. I'm bummed to see Quincey go -- I kinda liked him! Logan is smarmy. But, I understand not wanting to do that to Rachel at the rose ceremony again, she would've had a meltdown! Now she can do it in private.

Shaking my head at the Rachel drama during Gabby’s date. Why would she think the guys ought to be looking at her instead of watching the fight. The producers must have really messed with her mind before sending her in there. It made no sense for her to be so upset.

What a minute. Who's ETHAN!? Has he been there the whole time? WTH? If you took, "like" out of their vocabulary, none of these people could communicate. I was going to say they couldn't form a complete sentence without it, but they don't form complete sentences with it. Good Lord. So many words in the English language. I wish they'd use more of them. If I hear "Rachel/Gabby and I's connection" one more time, I'm going to scream. Did none of these people learn proper grammar? I think many of us were misled by Hayden's resemblance to Grocery Store Joe. They're nothing alike.
Tyler's cute, but he's so young. He looks like a producer's college-aged (high school-aged?) son who's interning for the semester snuck onto to the set.
Re: Gabby talking about her mother. IMO, it's not mean-spirited if it's true. It sounds from what Gabby's said - AND from what her mother has said on her sm - that Gabby's mom was not there for her in any meaningful way. That sort of abandonment can leave lifelong emotional scars. I think Gabby's just telling her truth. I don't find what she's saying to be nasty or full of vitriol. It just feels like she's explaining what happened. I applaud her for being open and vulnerable.

Gabby always looks so stressed when she is talking with Rachel. Like she has to constantly console her when she has her own problems to deal with.

This show just isn't getting it for me with the two lovely girls. Separately, I might be more interested in their stories, but all I see is two co-dependent, immature, insecure girls, who still carry scars of being dumped by Clayton, the buffoon, on national tv. I usually delete the Bachelor halfway through the season, but this "cry fest" may not last that long on my DVR. But, then again, it's summer...what else do I have??

OMG! That is the bain of my grammatical existence!!! Second only to nowadays when people are using the expression: "your guys's this" and "your guys's" that.'' It's bad enough that people keep saying "you guys" --- but when they go further, and in the possessive case, they say "your guys's" --- THAT makes me crazy!

Improper pronoun use drives me crazy, too! But as someone who studied linguistics, I have to say that I think we're fighting a losing battle.
Almost every younger person I know, including those who are highly educated and were raised by sticklers for proper language use, says things like: "Ally and me went to the store" (or worse "Me and Ally...."). Conversely, they invariably say: "He gave this present to Ally and I."
So far, they still seem to be able to pick the correct pronoun in the singular instance where "Ally" is not involved, but I wouldn't be surprised if in another generation, the pronouns have just completely flipped in usage with "me being subjective and "I" being objective.
It's like what happened ages ago with "you" and "thee/thou." Thee/thou used to be the familiar address (like the tu/toi in French) and you being formal (like vous in French). But now "you" is the informal form of address, and we save "thee/thou" for talking to God.
As much as I hate the change and want to dig in my heels and tell them to shape up and talk correctly, the me/I shift has taken on a life of its own, and I don't think it can be stopped.
