10/17-10/18 - BIP8 Show Discussion

Thank goodness Ashley and Jared are finally gone!!!

The guys are in survival mode fighting for those roses. Logan and James are vying for Shanae. She loves it. I don't see chemistry with either one.

Casey told Brittany about the pizza guy bad mouthing her and they had words. He is accusing her of not wanting him because he didn't have enough followers. Much harder to accept she just thought he was a jerk. They have words and Jill has to stick her nose in and then Casey is on the ground. They said he had a seizure, but then in the ambulance we see his ankle is busted. Maybe when he fell? He did look out of it. I work with people who seizure and some of them look just like that when they are coming out of it. Sadly we say goodbye to Casey. Thankfully pizza guy leaves on his own because no women there is interested in him up to his standards.

Danielle gets the date card and naturally she asks Michael. Logan thinks they might be the next Ashley and Jared. Not even close...thank goodness. They are two mature people, although she is very giddy. They are kind of goofy together. He is starting to be in his head again.

I hope they show us more of this relationship than they have of Brandon and Serene, but this is the one that I have really been looking forward to. These two are just more complex and interesting.

I don't know, maybe I'm not as cynical as you or as much as I think I am, but I don't think he knew Danielle was coming and I think he did like Sierra, but she was too young. I like what he just said...at this point in his life he can only be with someone who is scarred like he is...has that life experience. I am buying them. Quick, slap some sense into me!!!

Wow, the original girls are not handling this well!! Lots of tears, anger, and pity parties. I get it, they're threatened because their "relationships" are so new.

But they keep talking about this "week" and I heard it's only one night/two days!! On Love Island, I think they're gone for three nights!

I like some of these new girls, from their previous seasons. At least they're more interesting than Luce and Shanae!

Yeah. Clearly a pretty serious break!

I’m sad for Casey because that really sucks, and sad for us because he was such a fun narrator and I’ll miss him!

I totally agree with you Critical. I don't think Michael knew Danielle was coming. Just the way he reacted. He's not that good an actor. She on the other hand, I think knew he would be there. I also don't think he used Sierra despite how she is reacting on SM. It is convenient...for tptb. They are master manipulators and set it all up, but that is not on him. He liked her and what is there not to like, but she was too young and he figured that out and let her go as soon as he did. I loved the conversation between him and Danielle last night. So much more pleasant listening to two adults having a real conversation. I really want to see how they develop.

Here we go again...old girls are still crying, whining and the new ones are making out.

I love Rodney. He is so cute and nervous around Eliza. They make a cute couple. So much better than Lace.

Michael and Danielle are back from their date and about to get a surprise!

So I'm just getting to watch last night's show. While I'm happy for Michael and Danielle and totally hope they end up together, I find the whole transition from Sierra to Danielle a bit questionable.

I think Michael is a show favorite (both of the producers and of the fans), and I suspect that he knew (or at least strongly hoped) that Danielle was going to be coming. I think he liked Sierra, and I don't know if he was using her exactly, but I would be very surprised if producers or Wells or someone didn't give him a heads up that Danielle was coming soon and he'd better end things with Sierra well before she came to avoid a repeat of the Brendon-Natasha situation.

The last thing they want is for their golden boy's potential happy ending to be tainted by the type of controversy that occurred last year, though that's happening a bit this year anyway. Sierra was not happy watching the show last night and didn't hesitate to tweet about it.

Those OG women are just too much, they're wearing me out! Stop the crying and moping, sheesh. You'll survive!!

The guys they got seem like decent, fun guys, so at least hang out and enjoy each other a little. I felt bad for the guys!

It was too much of a Shanae show tonight for me; I really don't care for her, and she and Tyler's date was weird. She's fine with Logan, because I don't care much about him either, so they can ride off into the sunset for all I care! LOL

Lace getting to go back to the beach early was ridiculous, and how she reacted to the other guys was awful, accusing them of coming at her and getting defensive. Of course she arrives right before Rodney comes back from his great date; this show manipulates their cast constantly, and Lace should know this. I almost felt bad for her.

I do like Rodney with Eliza, they seem happy when they're with each other! He and Lace never really seemed like a match to me.

Funny how Michael and Danielle were spared from the split.

Kate and Jacob are a strange pair; her voice is really annoying with that vocal fry! Jill is going to be a puddle when she finds out what he's done. Uh oh. I don't get the appeal, he's just the hair, to me.

Andrew is rapidly falling off my Favorites list. Classic example of being disappointed the more we get to know somebody.... I actually wanted to see him as Bachelor! But now some of his comments and reactions are just disappointing to me. And Brittany's apparently trying to jump ship to Tyler (in the previews), so maybe she realized he falls a little short too! Or, that Tyler is just so great. Andrew's still cute, and he's not an awful guy, but I'm still crossing him off my list.

I want to see more of Alex! And Olu(?)!

Genevieve saying that the guys are going to be talking to the new girls about deep stuff Are they though?

Logan rehabbed his image a bit....just in time to tank it again by drooling over the new girls. We'll see if he reverts to type or rises above. If he throws Shanae over for one the new girls, I hope she pairs up with one of the new guys.

I was just reading Reality Steve's recap of Monday's show, and here are several tweets of Sierra's that he included. She's clearly not a happy camper, and I don't blame her.

RS had more that was interesting to say on the subject, but his post also involved spoilers, so read at your own risk.

I think Michael should just have been honest with Sierra that he really needs a woman who has had similar major life experiences to his -i.e, trauma and grief and struggling to recover. She couldn't feel disrespected if he had done that, and the fact that he said he needs a woman with scars shows he knew why Sierra wasn't right for him. Instead, he made it sound like he just wasn't ready for a serious relationship at all, and then we see him jump at the chance to pursue Danielle. I don't know why I expect anyone on this show to be honest -- except that I'm big on honesty -- but Michael seems more honest and self-aware than the others.
