- So, last week, I injured my finger. This week, I have a stomach flu. Yet here I am. Clearly The Bachelor is an addiction I can’t kick.
- Oh, yeah. It’s hometown dates time.
- This may be the sickness talking, but I swore that was Hannah Brown.
- So, Susie is from Virginia. Got it.
- I saw Senpai and immediately got confused with Big Sky.
- Susie is a blue belt. I have no clue what order the colors go in.
- I’m glad this isn’t another awkward yoga date.
- NOT THE SHRIMP
- And I didn’t need to know that Susie, I really didn’t.
- You know, I feel like this conversation should have happened before.
- Does Susie have any siblings? Anymore Hannah Brown clones out there?
- I really like her coat though.
- There is a sister, but she’s not a clone. Dang. There goes the idea for my TV show.
- I don’t know if saying it feels like a year of dating is a good sign, Clayton. My yearlong relationships were bad.
- Is that a record for crying? I think it is.
- Don’t blame dad for your tastes.
- The dad’s mustache is so perfect, he has to have a mustache comb.
- Do not refer to women as fish. Please don’t.
- I most look forward to the parents who really don’t give a shit. Can’t wait for them.
- And there’s the first avoidance of the L word.
- Susie’s mom is not pleased by this.
- Apparently, you can fall in love with three women though.
- Don’t marry the saltine.
- Why didn’t we get to see Clayton talk to the sister or friend? I feel robbed.
- Gabby was a cheerleader? Makes sense.
- I thought he pulled a joint out.
- Those white gloves will not be clean for long.
- Gabby tying Clayton’s shoes gave me strong Harry and Ginny vibes from HBP.
- Not Gabby bringing Clayton to proposal rock.
- Lol, subtle?
- Aunt, Uncle, cousin, and grandpa. What about your mom? Did she mention this before?
- Two for two, family members being sick.
- Is it just me, or does her aunt look like Angela from The Office?
- I would never say that line in front of a grandparent.
- Her grandpa is precious. I don’t give a damn about anything else. Mood.
- I’m sorry. No one in my family would ever ask if I said I love you to a guy.
- Julie, you are Angela. Accept it.
- GRANDPA IS A MOOD
- I’ll come back and haunt you. I am the grandpa.
- Tears at two of the hometowns now.
- This grandpa is so precious, I can’t handle it.
- What is going on? Did someone order domino’s?
- Is it an ex? Oh, wait, it’s her dad.
- Can that horn be any louder?
- Did he really need a cue card with Dad written on it? She knows who he is.
- He can speak right? Why is he using the cards?
- So, dad left the girlfriend behind, huh?
- He could have called, zoomed, anything.
- Words have weight. They weigh three pounds.
- Which producer told Clayton that line?
- I feel like there would be some trained professional up there with them.
- Clayton just gave me major Donkey from Shrek vibes.
- With those go pros on their heads, they look like aliens.
- I would jump. Looks fun to me. This is why I get injured so often.
- Can Clayton count down from three or …?
- Not Clayton hyping himself up like he’s a football coach.
- It’s not even a freefall. Boring.
- Clayton, stop. You were practically crying a moment ago.
- Ducks. I’d watch duck Bachelor.
- Three falling in loves now.
- Mom, brother, best friend. Missing dad.
- There’s an hour left and a date and a half. Clearly, one of these dates goes off the rails.
- Serene, did you introduce them to the prom date?
- Why did it look like Clayton was carrying a literal tree?
- Oh, the brother’s hot.
- Why does the mom look terrified? Did someone force her to be there?
- Right, right. She lost her cousin.
- Roland, you single?
- Here comes the avoidance again.
- Roland is not pleased.
- Crying number three.
- Oh, thank god. I thought she was lugging around real fireflies in that jar.
- Roland for bachelor. Oh god, he cries too. Someone get me his number.
- Clayton is giving me “thank you for sharing” vibes.
- I swear, I forget Rachel exists every time.
- Yes, reverse jump hug.
- Dang it, normal one.
- Rachel, have you been losing your voice this entire season?
- Is that a Game of Thrones reference?
- I guess not.
- Can I pet an alligator?
- Please fall in the water. Please.
- I forgot Clayton was from Missouri again.
- Pet the spider. Do it.
- If Clayton thinks that spider could take out Godzilla, his perception of size is even worse than the normal male.
- Why did I first think that was the hanging tree from The Hunger Games franchise?
- So, y’all were concerned about alligators a moment ago, but are jumping in the water now?
- Clayton looking terrified to talk to the dad.
- Yes, give us the bluntness.
- Why are they sitting like that?
- What’d did I miss? Had to throw up again. Someone must have mentioned shrimp.
- First person to mention fantasy suites. Usually happens a lot earlier.
- She looks like Tia.
- An Italian dad who doesn’t like any guy, stereotype to a T.
- For a second, I thought Clayton was holding the dad’s hand.
- The dad threatening to beat up an ex is a mood.
- Clayton looks truly terrified of Rachel’s dad.
- This dad is asking the hard questions like a real dad. Good man.
- Rachel’s dad isn’t really a fan of Clayton, is he?
- Did Clayton really expect his approval though? There has to be one family that isn’t on board, after all.
- There are the tears.
- His head is so shiny.
- Rachel is the one who needs those cards, huh?
- Clayton “thank you for sharing.”
- So, that wasn’t as much drama as I was expecting.
- The driver was like, please stop kissing.
- Was it just me, or did Rachel just give the evil dramatic turn away from the camera?
- I wonder how much time has passed since the date. Rachel’s voice is back, I think?
- Clayton finally admitted he’s an idiot, I mean he’s falling for all four women.
- Serene is rocking that dress, and I have a feeling she’s getting sent home.
- Gabby looks like she’s going to prom.
- And I called it. Serene, you deserve so much more.
- Also, send me Roland’s number.
- Serene is giving him her teacher look.
- He doesn’t deserve any words, Serene.
- Please, leave him, all of you.
- They showed Shanae, and I felt sick again.
- Gabby is into feet, confirmed.
- Not her calling him a hobbit.
- Two days next week. I’m not prepared.
