Much shorter blog post than usual as I have a work eBook to finish up. Plus, I didn't take any notes last night, so this is all from memory.
Chad
This show was basically all Chad all the time for reasons. He received the last rose at the rose ceremony mainly due to producer's involvement, I'm sure, and that JoJo was still just seeing the "kinder, gentler" side of Chad instead of the "Chad SMAAASH" side that the guys in the house were seeing.
Still not a fan of Chad, and wow, did this episode not do him any favors. The guy is hot, sure (holy chiseled abs and veins popping on his shoulders) but he is a massive douchebag. Wow, I was about to say "I'm sorry but", but you know what, I'm not sorry for saying this at all. The dude quite literally threatened the other guys in the house and told Jordan he would find him after the show and beat him up. What the fuck, dude? That is some insane anger management shit right there. If there is any woman watching this show that still finds him hot after watching this episode, I have no words. None.
I'm glad JoJo finally realized what was going on when she asked him point blank if he did threaten anyone in the house and he said it was because they were asking him questions and pressuring him. Nope. Sorry. That is not how anyone should respond to being asked questions. You don't want to be asked questions? Walk away. Don't go into Chad Smaaash mode and threaten to find them later and beat them up. Jackassery at its finest.
Bye, Chad. Although looks like we have to put up with his antics again in the next episode in two weeks because this episode ended with him knocking on the door of the house because of course he has to confront the guys once again. Will be VERY glad to say good riddance to this ass.
Luke
First, JoJo really wants a "man's man", apparently based on how many times she said that in this episode. LOL Nice job chopping the wood for the very hot wood-fired hot tub. Luke is definitely hot and I think all of America felt bad for him that he lost a friend when they were both serving in Afghanistan. If she doesn't pick him, he has the next Bachelor nod just from this episode alone.
Group Date
I wasn't paying too much attention to this one as I was chatting with the little guy then. I know that Ben Roethlisberger (pretty sure I mangled his name. Sorry, dude) was there to help the guys play football, and that one team won and one didn't. And poor James T got a bloody eye somehow and Evan had a bloody nose. Other than that, I've got nothing.
For the night-time portion, two things stood out:
* Robby picking up JoJo and placing her seated on the pool table for a kiss. Freaking hot.
* Jordan telling JoJo that he's already falling for her. I'm pretty sure she swooned.
The Two-On-One Date
Nothing to say here that I didn't already say above in the Chad section.
Current Top Faves:
* Luke -- Because of course
* Wells -- He wasn't in it much, but still adorable
* No real third here this week

20 Minutes of Action
Two posts in one day. That's rare. But this one is one that needs to be written as a massive vent so that I can then move on to business writing.
"20 minutes of action..." That phrase is how Stanford swimmer Brock Allen Turner's dad described his son's rape of a woman. Seriously. Rape is seen as "20 minutes of action" in this douchebag's head. I'm livid. What is wrong with this world that this mentality exists and is out there.
I read the victim's letter on Buzzfeed over the weekend and have not been able to stop thinking about it since. So very brave of her to read this letter in court at his sentencing -- where he received just six months in prison for rape because a longer sentence would have a "severe impact on him". Fuck that noise.
Feeling the need here to add that I've thankfully never been raped. Have I been more drunk than I should have been when I was around guys? Sure. Have I been in situations I shouldn't have been in that could have gone hellaciously bad? Yes. Have I done things I wouldn't have if I wasn't drunk? Oh, yes. Was I raped? No.
There's one incident in particular in college that still sticks with me all these years later. But it wasn't rape. I never said "no" and I somehow (mainly due to my own insane naivety and lack of confidence) was a virgin throughout all of college, so no, it wasn't rape. Thinking back, if that guy was anything like Brock, that night could have been very, very bad and not just one heck of a "what was I thinking going off with that jerk?" regret but instead a life-changer. Thankfully, he wasn't -- not a great guy in the slightest, but not a rapist at all. I'll give him that.
But this story. It won't get out of my head. I'm just irate that this kid can receive only 6 months for a sentence and can change his story on the stand to saying she consented. How the bloody hell did she consent when she was unconscious? There is no way being dragged behind a dumpster and having pine needles inserted inside her by his fingers was something any woman would have consented to. Just no. The thought makes me ill.
So, so, so glad that those cyclists happened to be passing by and noticed she wasn't moving at all and pulled him off of her. I don't want to think about what would have happened -- and that Brock would have gotten away with this even further -- if they hadn't. Vomit worthy.
This woman can't sleep without the lights on due to the rape. Her entire world has been changed but Brock gets just 6 months because a longer sentence would have a severe impact on him. I can't. I just can't. The whole thing sickens me.

JoJo's Bachelorette Episode 3 - Yab Yum and Bloody Knuckles
And we're back again for a "very special" two-night event of The Bachelorette. Oh, dear. Shit's going down... Hmm, just remembered I'm out tonight for the beginning of the second part so time to set the DVR.
Chase's One-on-One Date
Okay, so they're going to a yoga class. Nothing unusual there. Ohh, "intimate" yoga? Well, there. I've sure been to the wrong types of yoga classes. An anger-gasm looks like fun.
Chase is hot, hot, hot. He still looks like Chris Bukowski (Mr. grown ass man) to me, but an even hotter version.
I have never heard the term "Yab Yum" before, but I'm getting behind the idea. This is basically some Sting'esque tantric sex going on here. Yup, will be investigating that concept a bit further. Plus, that was a great kiss.
"When I'm around JoJo, I feel excited..." Pretty sure that was the understatement of the century there, Chase. ;)
Ohhh, it's time for the special concert. I wrote down "Who the eff is Charles Kelly?" as I thought they had James Taylor the contestant playing for them for a moment. Hahaha Nope, instead, he's the male lead in Lady Antebellum. Turns out I've really only paid attention to the Lady part of the group apparently as I had no idea who this dude was.
Group Date Announcement
Wells. That fisherman's cardigan? You're killing it. Super hot.
Okay, so Chad is the Olivia this season, thinking he's the only one with a connection, right? LOL
Ads
Reddi-Whip and this tv show. Well, now we know what the fantasy suites are stocked with. Give me all those strawberries. Yum!
Helllooo, Legend of Tarzan. Thanks for the reminder about Skarsgard being in this, commercial.
Group Date
Oh, I feel bad for these boys. They're speechless that they're at a sex talk show. "Sex Talks". I need to see if there are any of these that are local. NOT that I want to get up and talk because nooo. There's this blog and then there's getting up in front of people that could know me hearing my tales. Big difference. But attending one would be hysterical.
Laughed quite a bit too much at Grant (I think it was Grant) saying "I've never heard anything like that..." during the woman's fake orgasm. Oh, really, Grant? You haven't? I'm a wee bit doubtful about that.
What I got from this was that Wells was in a threesome (!!) and someone farted. HA!
Oh, Evan, Evan, Evan... Basically saying that Chad uses steroids. Ouch. Glad you didn't go on to talk about the cautionary tales of steroid dick. Yikes. That was brutal.
However, Chad's reaction to it of grabbing his shirt and basically ripping the back of it (though, I'm wondering what happened there because it looked like it was torn in half on Evan's back when it happened, but then later Evan was walking around and the shirt was fine. Different shirt?) and then punching a door? Good god. Nope. Sorry, Chad. You will be receiving none of my roses with actions like that, especially the door punching that led to your bloody knuckles. That's a behavior that's a red flag to pretty much anyone, or it should be. Not a fan at all.
Night Portion of Group Date
I'd totally forgotten about Jordan until his talk with JoJo. She's very interested and so is he from touching her leg and wrapping around each other. Dude, telling her you wake up happy because of her? Awww, good job and great line!
On the other hand, Chad, if you have to say "Generally, I'm a nice guy...", you're not. You're just not.
I was stunned by Evan's ultimatum that it was basically him or Chad AND that he then got the rose. Yowza. Chad's reaction saying "Is this real?", though? Total dick move. So glad JoJo called him on it and told him he was being disrespectful.
Back at the House
This swings around a bit because James Taylor's date was interspersed with clips of back at the house, but I'll break them up.
They have a security guard there. Seriously?? Umm, producers, the far better idea here would be to remove the person from the house that's the cause for the security guard. Sure, Chad is bringing great television, but holy loose cannon.
Oh, hey, Derek and Luke. I totally forgot about them as well and they were on my top picks list from last week. Sorry boys.
Snorted at Daniel comparing Chad to Hitler! That was the best moment, followed by Chad eating a sweet potato like an apple.
James Taylor
Okay, he's growing on me big time. The swing dancing and the outfits. All completely adorable. Loved it. I was basically going "Awww" through each of the segments of this date. Had flashbacks to my own ballroom dancing classes that I took, but left after I tried to lead the teacher, who was supposed to be leading me around the floor. Oopsie...
Jean Bellows the teacher was a sweetheart. Love this date!!
Also loved the flash mob swing dancing in the street. It was like "Newsies" broke out on the screen.
Hanging out in a convertible for the night portion of the date. Holy flashback to Grease and the 50s in general. James T just seems like an old-fashioned really nice guy. And holy shit, he's always considered himself an underdog in dating. Jeez, Louise. No wonder I think he's awesome. Dude, I can relate hugely. Big props to JoJo for telling him he is awesome and giving him the rose.
Was worried for a second when there was just a hug along with the rose instead of a kiss, but she did kiss him after he brought out the guitar. Phew.
JoJo, honey... "He makes me feel a way I'm not used to feeling." That feeling is called being cherished and respected. It's important. Follow that feeling.
Chris Harrison
No cocktail party. Instead, there's an all-day pool party pre-rose... And there's about 5 minutes left. No way is the rose ceremony happening on this episode.
Ay yi yi re: Evan and then Chad's convos with Chris Harrison. Seriously, Chris Harrison didn't know about any of the Chad stuff going on? Highly highly doubtful. Though, dude, what the fuck? You sent Chad back into the house to confront Evan and you think that's going to go okay? Good luck with that.
And there's the "To be continued..."
