I think we all know the answer to that question, don’t we, rose lovers? Tonight’s episode featured two historic moments for the Bachelor/Bachelorette franchise: Not only did producers admit that actual sex took place in the fantasy suite (rather than simply implying it with shots of, say, waves crashing on the beach or volcanoes erupting), in an even more shocking scene, two contestants had an actual, human conversation about real-life personal issues. And no one said the word “journey”! To be honest, I’m just trying to focus on the bright side here rather than fixating on the truly boneheaded gameplay that also took place in the penultimate episode of the Pad. No spoilers here (click over to my full Bachelor Pad recap for all the details), but I will say I was embarrassingly disappointed about who went home. What about you? We’re down to the “super six” — who are you rooting for to win? How many times did you rewind that post-coital conversation between [contestant name redacted] and [contestant name redacted] in the fantasy suite? And do monkeys really peel bananas from the wrong end?

i strongly dislike the super 6– it all feels a little too much like high school.
Completely agree!
True, but most of the people who were eliminated did it to themselves by voting out the outsiders and advancing the ‘popular’ couples. The people on this show obviously had no game or strategy.
yes, monkeys really do peel bananas from the wrong end.
Actually, the end without the stick is the right end.
What shocked me the most was when Chris Harrison announced next week is the season finale. I knew about the dance contest and I know who the final 4 are, but I had no idea that the winner will be determined live next week. Are ratings low and the show ended early or was this always planned?
It was always planned. The week after the fall season starts, I think DWTS.
This show and ALL shows like it should be taken off the air. I don’t care how ‘mature’ producers feel that their audience is……. THIS IS NO PLACE FOR SOFT CORE PORN!!!
If you don’t like it, don’t watch it.
Tonight definitely fell into the category of too much of information and that whole scene in the fantasy suite just proved what a psycho Elizabeth is and what a whipped wuss Kovacs is.
I honestly do not give a rats you know what who wins anymore. All of them that are left are bit***s/ba***rds (Natalie, Dave) or idiots (Kypton and also Dave for picking loyalty over strategy) or just flat out get on my nerves (Tenley, Kovacs & Elizabeth). I am only looking forward to seeing all the other cast members come back and rake these six jerks/idiots/pains in my you know what over the coals.
I have been enjoying this show to fill time over the summer TV season. But afraid this temporary fix is going to permanently ruin the bachelor/bachelorette for me! It’s gonna be really hard to ever buy into the real romance after seeing these skanky contestents.
so natalie went from the conversation with tenley to voting off peyton and jesse b? i thought elizabeth had a screw loose and tenley was an emotional wreck, but neither of them have anything on natalie, who is apparently the queen of schizophrenia. wow.
Yep… Peyton and Jesse B were definitely screwed over. Guess we should have expected it in such a TV show, but two-faced people really get on my last nerve.
Also, just out of curiosity- Who do you think would have gone home if Peyton and Jesse B had gotten the roses?
Definitely Kovacs and Elizabeth.
David/Natalie are so dumb. They got rid of the wrong couple. What exactly is Melissa Rycroft good for? She is totally useless. They don’t need 2 hosts – why not give Chris time off and actually use Melissa. Completely dumb way to reduce the women. That was a big lame letdown.
I agree. I mean, after they announced how the 3 were going to be eliminated, there was no suspense at all. Why did they even bother with spinning the bottle?
For real. They made it seem like each of these guys were actually considering picking other girls than what they did, but we all knew they would pick the ones they did. I mean … COME ON!
Hate the “Super 6″. Talk about a boring finale.
Additionally, I would LOVE to see Peyton as the next bachelorette. She is so genuine!
I agree … would love Peyton to be the next Bachelorette.
Poor Elizabeth! Your attempt to blackmail Kovacs into a relationship bit you in the a**. He only picked you because if he didn’t you would break into his house and murder him. Don’t be surprised if he sees you as only a means to an end. Girl, instead of spending all the money on a bad boob job, go get some therapy!
it’s like watching the dumbest people ever try to play survivor. except they can’t figure out the rules. and they want people to like them. and they don’t recognize the real threats in their midst (Dave, anyone?)
kovacs admitted that elisabeth has “a screw loose” – so he does know she’s nuts and deserves whatever fall out comes from getting involved with her.
Peyton and Jesse B. were the only two left that I liked. Peyton was adorable and hilarious in her refusal to fawn over Jesse when he acted bone-headed, and yet Jesse was pretty sincere and caring for a still-immature 25-year-old. And the way of paring down the amount of girls was really stupid. They should have just eliminated three girls through a challenge, and then paired up whoever remained. It would have been so much more interesting to watch. The producers screwed up on that one.
This is the most grammatically challenged group of imbeciles ever assembled after one roof. I actually took notes tonight, because it was grating on my nerves so badly.
Natalie and Dave were both guilty of using the nonexistent word “I’s” in this episode (and Dave said it TWICE!). For the last time, you nitwits, the first person singular possessive is “my.”
But besides that, Natalie, Dave, and Tenley all incorrectly used “I” as the object of a preposition (the correct usage is “for Kiptyn and ME,” Tenley, not “for Kiptyn and I”), and Chris Harrison used “I” as a direct object when he said “Come join Melissa and I outside.”
Folks, it’s not hard. Just say it to yourself without the other person. If you would use “me” if it was only you, it doesn’t become “I” when someone else gets involved.
But then, Chris Harrison may be such a dope that he actually says, “Come join I outside.”
That should be “under” one roof. I really wish this thing had an edit option.
On a brighter note, Kiptyn got the pronoun right, but the order wrong. He talked about doing “what benefits me and Tenley.” It should have been “what benefits Tenley and me,” but, given that he at least used the correct pronoun, I’m going to give him a pass on the much less grievous error of order.
These people are idiots and so are all of you.
