Ok I apologize this took so long… I was in London last week and my hotel didn’t have free internet, which means it took me awhile to be able to watch the episode and post scores!

I forgot just how awkward these first dates can be. I mean Emily knew almost nothing about the guys and so the first 1:1 dates are so awkward – I feel like they might as well start with “Hi my name’s ________, I’m a banker but quit my job to find ‘true love’ and I’m from Washington” or something along those lines.
Instead, since it’s The Bachelorette, she starts with something like “where do you see yourself in 5-10 years?” Is this a job interview? Ok well I guess it is to her – she’s looking for the driver for her minivan full of babies, but she might as well start with something like “What experience do you have with children?” because she’s for sure looking for that.
Ok about the guys. I’m fully team Arie. There wasn’t enough of them in this episode, but for a girl whose entire life is a story destined for a movie, I think Arie winning her heart would only be a bizarre yet perfect ending. Plus according to their two second talk he has no problem dating women who have children, which hopefully translates to “meets minimum job requirements” in Emily’s mini-van driver search.
And it’s obvious the way she looks at him she likes him far more than most of the other guys there. By the way his dad is a two time winner if the Indianapolis 500, so once again Emily’s potentially dating into a racing family…
Unfortunately Jef is somehow winning her attention.
I feel like he’s never been in a relationship before. I mean he’s avoiding her because he likes her – are we in middle school? Maybe he spent too much time saving the world with his company and not enough time looking for love? Well she obviously likes him so despite the missing f and odd hair I think he’s probably going to stick around for awhile. On paper he’s a great guy, I’m just hoping his f reproduces to make his name “Jeff” and he gets a hair cut during the season.
For some reason I’m not a fan of Ryan. I though his was the cutest date I’ve seen on The Bachelorette/Bachelor yet (baking cookies and delivering them to soccer practice, then a nice dinner). It was so normal. At first I could tell he was disappointed he wasn’t jumping off a bridge or something, but he came around! I just thought the whole date was awkward. Maybe because it was the first 1:1 date, but the chemistry just didn’t seem to be there.
I thought it was interesting Joe went home so early… I mean it seemed like less of an awkward date than, say, Jef on the group date… I know he didn’t specifically say “I want babies now” but he was basically saying he wants to take life wherever it goes, and that he was willing to put all his cards on the Emily and Ricky bandwagon, which is probably a much more realistic answer to the question than the “I want a mini-van full of babies too!” that she must be looking for.
Favorite Quotes of the Episode - “I proposed to Miss Piggy,” words I’m guessing Jef never thought he’d say…
“If you like being outside and doing stuff like that” – Arie, you’re gonna have to try lots harder than that to make Scottsdale a place Emily would even want to visit. Does she look like an outdoorsy girl to you?
“I’m up for whatever you have in mind,” (x3) Ryan, I’m sure you are. Now if you could only say that three more times… oh wait. You did. Are you aware her daughter might watch this show someday?

Ok so here’s my thoughts on the first episode:
Favorite Quotes:
Kalon “I used to be kind of loud and obnoxious and a womanizer”… um probably not the way you want to introduce yourself to America.
Emily “A minivan full of babies” is what she wants 5 years from now. That’s her first thought. I’m not sure if she wants the guy or the kids…
Emily “When I go to the grocery store guys are not pulling me in 15 different sections of the grocery store”
Favorite moment: Emily’s attempt to respond to the Brazilian guy’s portuguese intro in Spanish. I assume she didn’t realize that they don’t speak Spanish in Brazil…
Thoughts on the Guys:
Kalon: The “former” womanizer is not my favorite, but I’m reserving judgment for later But he plays tennis, which makes me smile 
The helicopter was a bold move and since you have to stand out somehow on the first night I don’t blame him. Though he flaunts his money around a little too much which bothers me.
Ryan – Teaching really little kids to lift tires isn’t attractive… But I want your dog. And you had a cute intro.
Tony – goofy. I think he might be for Emily if his life weren’t so settled in Oregon. Though if he keeps pulling the “I have a kid too card” he’ll go far. And he knew she’s a princess at heart and used that already so he might be a contender.
Charlie – You win the cutest dog award. Can I steal your bulldog? Also what’s up with all the dogs???
Jef – Cut your hair. Until then no one can take you seriously. And don’t ride a skateboard in to meet someone who has a kid…
Sean – INCREDIBLY awkward hello.
Doug – You pulled the son card WAY too early. But I have to admit that letter was precious, and it obviously made you stand out already.
Joe – You have WAY too much energy. I couldn’t even keep up with the introduction, I felt exhausted just watching it!
Arie – At least he recognized it’s a long shot her falling for another race car driver (even though she claims it isn’t). But I saw the way she looked at you when you introduced yourself… she liiiikes you
Kyle – Boring.
Chris – Talked WAYYYY too much when he introduced himself. And appears to be attempting to stir up drama in future episodes.
Aaron – The glasses were a little goofy looking. But I kind of think she might fall for you. And your corny pick-up line she seemed to fall for, maybe Jackson should take some pointers…
Alessandro – How did you survive a move from Brazil to Minneapolis? I mean talk about a weather change…
Nate – Apparently smells good
John “Wolf” – Emily please go on a date with him soon so I can figure out what a data destruction engineer does!
Travis – Ok the egg thing is really really bizarre.
Michael looks like he belongs in Hanson, not on the Bachelorette. Though if they could convince him to sing mmbop my life would be made…
Alejandro – He’s a charity director and she works (or worked) at a children’s hospital! A match made in “doing good in the world” heaven! I hope she keeps him around awhile.
No Roses For You
Emily, WHY DID YOU SEND LERONE HOME SO EARLY????? He was my favorite after the intros! Then again I’m pretty sure some of the people kept on there are for the entertainment value of the show and not who you would’ve picked, but how did you turn down Lerone???????
Jean-Paul – I don’t know why you and Lerone went home. Apparently she didn’t like that you didn’t creepily look her up before the season started (because let’s be real, very few guys watch the Bachelor so I doubt most of them knew her story before thinking about being on the show).
Randy – Cross dressing like a grandma is not exactly the way to a woman’s heart.
Jackson – Apparently Emily doesn’t fall for corny pick-up lines.
Brent – The nametag didn’t work too well for you bud.
David – No wonder you got sent home. You like her posture? Really? Who says that?
By the way did anyone else notice Emily’s tattoo? Is it new? If not how did I not notice this before?????
As many of you know my favorite show (embarrassing, I know) is the Bachelor/Bachelorette/Bachelor Pad. So I’ve glanced at the pictures/job descriptions of the guys and here’s my initial thoughts before even seeing any previews:
Aaron looks like he’ll make it a week or two but not stand out unless he plays up the teacher thing.
Alessandro doesn’t have a chance unless he has a cute story as to how he became a grain merchant.
Alejandro – Mushroom farmer. Enough said. Doesn’t make it past day one.
Arie – Will bring back too many painful memories, but she might keep him for a few weeks. Or the show will keep him on for the storyline. If you don’t know he’s a racecar driver and so was her fiancee who died in the plane crash on the way to a race.
Brent looks too nerdy for her
Charlie has potential. He’s a recruiter so I have a feeling he’s good at small talk and can probably sell himself as a catch to Emily!
Chris is either going to fail miserably or win her heart. I hope it’s win her heart.
David – I’m not sure if Emily’s into the singer/songwriter thing, so I think he’ll probably leave fairly early.
Doug – Can’t really tell from the pic. Probably goes away in the middle episodes.
Jackson is a fitness model, therefore probably too shallow for her. The conversations would be incredibly… boring. Let’s face it, we all know she’s not the most exciting conversationalist out there.
Jean-Paul is my dark horse. He’s either gone in round one or going to surprisingly sweep her off her feet. I hope he lives up to his name and sweeps her off her feet (and I hope he speaks French).
Jef never got out of the early 90’s so he won’t make it into the house.
Joe has potential. He might be a contender.
John “Wolf” is a data destruction specialist. He has to be interesting to talk to just by his job title, so I think he’ll stay for a few rounds.
Kalon looks like he might not be straight. But if he acts less girly than he looks and sounds like he will be, Emily seems to live a life of luxury so it might surprisingly work well (he’s a luxury brand consultant). If my guess is correct he might make a good first gay Bachelor.
Kyle – Not sure why but I think Kyle has potential to be a contender. He just seems down to earth and like he won’t be intimidated by her. Either that or he’s going to fail miserably.
Lerone – Has potential as well – he seems like a nice guy (which I think is her type). Though I’m skeptical as to what a “real estate consultant” does vs. a real estate agent…
Michael – For the sake of Bachelor watchers everywhere we don’t need someone with long hair on the show again. Emily please send him home fast.
Nate has potential, but he’s an accountant, so I’m not sure if that’s exciting enough for Emily (sorry Andy )
Randy looks like the goofy guy who gets a few roses just because he’s funny but she doesn’t actually end up liking romantically.
Ryan is either a serious contender or a complete flop.
Sean is my favorite just from the pictures/jobs. He seems down to earth enough for her, but like he has a personality (something I hope she develops as the show goes on or it’ll be Ben’s season pt. 2)
Stevie – Party MC and Emily’s daughter are two things that won’t mix well in her mind. He’s gone as soon as she hears his job title.
Tony – Problem with Tony is his industry is kind of specific to Oregon (lumber trader). I’m doubting Emily will want to move so I’m guessing he won’t be the one for her (though he might get a few roses along the way).
Travis is also a serious contender for similar reasons as Sean
