Did Jean Paul, he of the accoutrements, say HE was from Haiti or his family. I do not speak French but his French did not sound like that of a native speaker. I speak French, and I couldn't understand him in the beginning. I finally realized what words he was saying on the third try. At first I wondered what his deal was, but I dated a Haitian guy many years ago, and I remembered that the Haitian accent is very different from "continental" French. Once I got my mind around the accent, it sounded like regular French with that accent as opposed to the Hatian patois, which is harder to understand. I haven't gone back to listen, but I think the words he said were, "Faisons la putain de chose." Which is the overused catch phrase in French. |

His family is from Haiti. I think he said his age when they arrived in the states, but I don't remember. He said he came to the US at age 2 so maybe he really does not speak much French at all and his family spoke a Haitian dialect. |

I thought the grocery guy was really nice looking. He is tied down though to where his store is....maybe she doesn't want to live in that area?
Minnesota guy....Jake? She couldn't quite find the words, but I could. "When I was just Becca at home, you hardly noticed me. Now that I am Becca, the Bachelorette, you would like to date me and see where it goes? I want a guy who might see me out somewhere, be attracted to me as Becca the woman and want to date me. Thank you, but I won't be able to get over this hump."
Then, I would go out to the guys, and I would have told them essentially the same thing. "If you are only interested in me as the Bachelorette, then you need to leave right now."
Jordan, the model? Even though I know the producers' tricks, and I know they were setting him up ( out of our view) with the prompts that elicited all those in the moment remarks about his appearance vs. the appearance of the other guys, I commented to my husband, "Oh no! Are we going to have to listen to him for the next few weeks? He is going to be the irritant."

I am very sorry for being so late to the party. I didn't realize the show had started back up again until I saw it on my DVR. I sat out the last few cycles of TB/TBt, so I'm coming to this fresh. I also used to love finding out the spoilers, but now I can't be bothered.  So I have no idea what's going to happen. Becca seems nice. I saw what happened with her and Arie since it was all over the internet. I never trusted him to begin with, which is why I didn't watch his season. Nice to know that he lived down to my expectations.  I thought it was kind of cute when one of the guys brought in that cardboard cutout of Arie. "Now he can watch you be happy." That's right! Too many guys so I can't remember them all. Football player looked like a nice guy. Loved the scene with his family. I wonder if he's able to get tickets to games? That would be a plus for me. Grocery story guy was a good catch. Since he owns his own store, he's not going to run off anytime soon to become an "actor". I wonder if that was part of the reason Becca didn't keep him? Was she afraid of that kind of commitment? OTOH, I can understand not wanting to live in Chicago. No offense to anyone here, but I live in a large Southern city. We haven't seen snow in years and I like it that way. I simply could not live in Chicago with those horrendous winters. Whoops! I just remembered. Did they say that Becca was from Minneapolis? So she's used to that kind of weather. I wouldn't do it, though. Who in the heck was that guy who summoned Becca like a naughty child? Oh my gosh, he would have been out of there so fast if I had been her. Model guy was annoying. I also wondered if he was doing this just for the publicity. I mean, when you watch Project Runway the models seem so sophisticated and yet down-to-earth. This guy was like something out of Zoolander. I have to say, though, that I did agree with his sartorial criticisms of the other guys. I mean, really. This is one of the biggest nights of your life and you have no tie and an open collar? I know others might disagree. However, I met hubby online and flew out to meet him in his city. Normally I am a jeans and t-shirt kind of person. However, on that occasion I made a special effort to dress nicely and wear make-up. What's the excuse for these guys? I can forgive the no tie, but wearing NO SOCKS was beyond the pale.  Ok, I admit. I am a sucker for a foreign accent. That's why I married a British guy.  So I just melted when I heard the accent for the guy from Nigeria. I am praying that those edits are misleading and he's really not a bad guy. I will be so disappointed if he is. Would you believe that I knew what "accoutrements" meant?  And as somebody who loves shopping at Bath & Body Works, I would love to smell his colognes. I would especially love to smell that $1200 one. For that dinky little bottle? What did they do, hand pick the ingredients? Wow. Children who move to a foreign country tend to lose their accent. That's why Jean Paul is from Haiti but doesn't sound like it. I don't personally like long-haired men, but this guy could be good for a few snarky comments. Loved minivan guy. So much better than those ridiculous stunts people pull for their entrance. Loved the choir but can't remember which guy brought them. Loved how that guy in the house actually counted the choir members as they exited. Twelve? Man, that's a lot even for a limo. Basketball guy: best moment EVER in one of these shows! Last night while I watched the show, hubby chilled by out playing his computer game. I thought he wasn't paying attention. After we went to bed, though, I heard this sleepy voice. "Did the guy in the chicken suit make it?" I nearly rolled out of the bed laughing. I told hubby that Chicken Little had made it and he was disappointed. Who was that "friend zone" guy from back in Minneapolis? He was just creepy. Kept insisting that Becca must be wrong since he disagreed with her memory of meeting him. Wouldn't take no for an answer. Good grief, I thought she was going to have to call security in and have him ejected. I'm so glad he's gone. I agree with whoever said he was just there because she was now famous. Yuk |

This is the first season where the only thing I actually noticed about some of the guys was their hair. Mike minus the man-bun is okay. Not a fan of the man-bun...I'd much rather see him with his hair down. Leo is aptly named, with his mane of hair, he resembles a lion. That said, it is almost like the long hair detracts from them. I couldn't tell you much about their personalities at this point. There is a fellow with the "Robby Bump-It" hairstyle this season. Didn't catch his name. Jordan is another plastic entity that will serve the purpose of being an instagator and the contestant that we will all "love to hate". As long as he's on the show, he will provide plenty of snark.  So far, Blake, Colton and Garrett seem like the most "normal" guys there. Joe would've also been in my list, but his time has now passed.  |

Looks like Joe The Grocer was an across the board favorite. I wonder why she didn't see it. Or maybe there was something else we weren't shown.
As to the guys' looks, the thing I've noticed the last few seasons is that nearly every single one of the guys has that "needs a shave" look. I really hate that look. It just looks so dirty, lazy & sloppy. It makes me think "Make an effort. Shave!" I know it seems to be the style nowadays, but that doesn't mean every single guy has to follow it. If it were me, I'd be more physically drawn to the clean shaven guys with ties & socks. "Every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man." Of course the model guy fits into the sharp dressed man description, and look what a loser he seems to be. I guess nothing is perfect.

I've never liked the scruffy look, ye we have seen that for at least three years now. Introduce them to a razor, already!

I keep hoping that it's just a passing fad, originated by lazy men. It's been around for a while now, but it's become more widespread in the last few years. Whenever I see someone on The Bachelor like that, I always wonder what they'd look like if they shaved. Most would be so much better looking.

Is it the facial hair that you ladies are objecting to or is the fact that the beard is scruffy? B/C to me 'clean shaven' means lack of facial hair (mustache or beard). Both my sons have a beard and mustache and imo they look quite handsome but then again I've never minded beards or mustaches. |

It's the messy scruff - like they ran a blade very lightly to where it isn't a full beard or mustache. I guess you could call it the five o'clock shadow effect.

No, it is not the beard. Either grow the beard, or shave. A well-groomed beard to me is kind of sexy. My husband had one for years. On the other hand, that scruffy look means he tried to take Saturday morning off from shaving. Now, no socks reminds me of when I was a teen-ager...but then these guys are older than that. I have to agree. They are trying to impress her, and that night they may get only one shot. They need to give it the best they have as far as looks go. That is just the way it is. Jordan the model was irritating, but then he was prompted off to the side by one of the producers who we couldn't see or hear with the right questions to get those answers. He may yet go on yammering, or he may give up his irritant spot to the black guy who we see from the previews is clearly going to provide a lot of the drama in the house. My husband has never watched the Bachelor/Bachelorette. I flat out told him that the women are catty, really bit**y, and the men are beyond aggressive. When he heard the words they were flinging around all over, his mouth dropped open. I said, "Tell me you didn't believe this wasn't the way a bunch of men would talk?" He shook his head yes, he understood....I think he was just amazed that it was going to be shown playing out!!! Boy, is this going to be fun watching this season with him!  He is convinced that she is going to choose a black guy because there are so many more this time, and it is time. I tried to explain to him that (that) is not the way it works. She is not forced to pick someone based on that kind of premise. Later on if she does not pick an F1 black guy, I will explain to him how a black guy could possibly be the next Bachelor. |

The encore of the premiere was on last night, which I'm very glad I watched it again. With the Memorial Day festivities surrounding the original air date, I realize I missed more of the show than I originally thought. Blake, Colton, Christon, Clay, Garrett, Mike and Lincoln are the stand-outs to me so far  |

Bloomers - how much fun you will have explaining Bachelor Nation and how it all works to him.
What is Becca's endgame? Will she be one who wants to move to LA for that life? If so, it makes sense that the grocer was sent home. He is tied to Chicago and would not be willing to move with her. I wonder why he was even selected for the show, much less applied for it?

If so, it makes sense that the grocer was sent home. He is tied to Chicago and would not be willing to move with her. I wonder why he was even selected for the show, much less applied for it? Exactly. As I watched his video intro, I just had a feeling that he wouldn't make it. He is way too invested in his business and staying put. Given that this show (and TB) have a history of leads/contestants booking it for LA to become "actors", that just did not bode well for Grocery Guy. 
As for the facial hair thing, I have no problem with beards and mustaches. Hubby has a 'stache and I think it's sexy. I hate that 5 o'clock shadow look, though. As others have said, it just looks lazy. You find out well in advance that you're going to be on this show, so they had plenty of time to do something about it.

He's just way too impressed with himself. Can we start a petition to make Joe the Grocer the next Bachelor?  |

 I am ashamed to admit this but I watched this episode i was bored and it was on tv. Becca is very attractive I would be too nervous to talk to her, so I would probably just dress up in a Chicken Suit like the one guy did and try and make her laugh I didn't mind the chicken suit. I'll take a guy in a funny suit as a gimmick over that awful WHAAAABOOOOM!!!! guy |
