8/5-8/6 - BIP6 Premiere Show Discussion

I don't know anyone from Hannahs season

Kevin and Dylan are both nice guys. And Cam is not at all my type, but he's not a bad person like they're making him out to be. Cheesy yes, but a jerk, no.

And now John Paul Jones. He's a hoot.

I can't take him seriously.

Chris Bukowski is back for his 6th experience. Was surprised he is only 32 as I think he looks a lot older.

Idk why Blake is such a hot commodity.

I thought they were recently engaged.  Didn't realize they were married.

Looks like Blake is this seasons Dean. I don’t expect this to have a happy ending for him. Ironic that Kristina was with both Dean and Blake.

Thanks ECM. I saw him and that broad who got very drunk one season, and promptly fell asleep. 
Oh, and I saw beady eyes Bukowski come in, looking old. ( shudder) 

Just an observation but the two pageant girls (Caelynn and Hannah B) seem to swear more than any other female contestants I can recall. I was reminded of that last night the minute Caelynn opened her mouth.

I really like Hannah G, I hope she doesn't end up with him. I dont get what the attraction is, he's very fond of himself, isn't he?

Or Hannah G and Blake

Oh my gosh! That scene with Jane and John Paul Jones was too much!! She brings him tacos, and he takes one bite and proceeds to puke all over the beach, over and over again. She cries about it, he apologizes, but he keeps on moving down the beach throwing up. Wow. Worst encounter ever!!

I hope we aren't supposed to feel sorry, for flat head, Blake. I think he's an @ss. Hannah, wake up girl.
I'm really tired of Demi, already! Her monologues aren't amusing, and her voice. She's easily manipulated by tptb .
I like Clay and Nicole, I'm sure someone will come along to wreck that.
Man, two shows, no rose ceremony..I don't know if this show is worth four hours a week
Bibiana, go home! 

He looks like he was dropped on his head!


It's hard to believe this is the same Blake some of us were rooting for on Becca's season of Bachelorette. All he cares about now is "hooking up." I laughed when he said he'd came to Paradise to "find a partner". He's had quite a few "partners" from what we're hearing!

I'm disappointed that Hannah is allowing herself to get pulled into his orbit. It all seems VERY last minute, doesn't it? She and Blake hadn't so much as exchanged one word until the last 5 minutes of episode 2. Now they're making out...

I'm just getting a chance to watch last night's show, and that conversation between Blake and Caelyn has me in tears feeling sad for both of them. I don't think it's a spoiler to say that Blake posted on Instagram last night defending himself and even posted some text messages between him and Caelyn that he's since taken down but are out there if people want to see them. (People Magazine has an online article about it.) It's clear that they have very different understandings of what happened and their conversations afterward.

I believe that he was genuinely shocked to hear that she was feeling the way she was. I'm not excusing (and neither is he) the unwise behavior of sleeping with two different girls from the franchise on two consecutive nights. That was stupid and it sucks for the women. I'm guessing that he said at some point that it was a mistake to have done that and that Caelyn interpreted that as saying that sleeping with her specifically was a mistake, when he was just saying that the timing of it was a mistake, which is a different thing.

It seems like both Kristina and Caelyn were saying that they were OK with casual sex when they really still had feelings of wanting an actual relationship, and Blake believed them because it was just casual sex for him. (Also, he's a guy and not real good at picking up on the subtleties like a woman going silent when he said something and expecting him to know how to interpret that.) Again, I'm not saying it was a wise choice to have sex with these two women back-to-back. I'm just saying that there seems to be a lot of miscommunication here based differing expectations and interpretations of both what happened and the conversations afterwards. (And I'm kind of with Blake in wondering why Kristina would wait till it was televised to call him out on what happened. There has been plenty of time since Stagecoach, and it sounds like they've had conversations where things seemed fairly OK, and then she waits to talk to him in Paradise? It's a bit strange.)

I just feel bad for all of them. They're making dumb decisions and living way too far inside of the Bachelor bubble and deciding to save private conversations for television. Just UGH!!!

I'm just sad for Kristina, Caelyn, and Blake (and probably most of the other people there). They have so much going for them, but they seem to be so insecure and needing a lot of external validation. All of them are using each other to get that validation, and it just makes them feel worse. Tragic for everyone.
