Last night was pretty eventful in Chicago. The Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup and I lost the battle over the remote to my fiance. Thus, I watched the Bach pretty late, and much to my dismay, some of the episode’s DVRed broadcast was interrupted (briefly) by news coverage of the tornadoes/heavy thunderstorms in the area. I very well might’ve missed a point category or two. Thanks in advance for your patience today! (Much tired. Very sleep. Cannot snark.)
No one received the wildcard points last night; they would’ve gone to the first person who said they needed one-on-one time before the rose ceremony, but there was only one strange, faux-ceremony on a baseball diamond last night so we were screwed. We’ll make next week’s points worth some weight to make up for it.

Doesn’t Joshua get points for questioning the intentions of a guy?
And what about Shawn – he said he was falling in love – not just “falling”?
Well, there’s no category for “questioning the intentions” of another guy. Our only points category is for the phrase “not here for the right reasons,” and he didn’t say it during his interaction with Kaitlyn.
Also, the two points categories regarding telling the Bachelorette you’re into her are:
1. Saying “I’m falling for you” to the Bachelorette or “I’m falling for her” to the camera (20 points)
2. Saying “I love you” to the Bachelorette (30 points)
So saying that you’re “falling in love” is the same as #1.
Thanks!
When did Nick say “I love you” to Kaitlyn? How did I miss that?
He actually sang it during his mariachi number. I figured it counted because he sang-spoke it and said it with meaning. I also think it’s a bold lyric!
Wouldn’t everyone who went on the group date get point for singing?
In theory, they probably all sang but we can only give points to the ones who were actually featured singing on the footage.
Did Nick say something about “falling” for Kaitlyn? I thought he did, but he might have not said it in a way that would earn points.
Also – Ben H., at dinner, was talking about his ex and I think it came up that she was an ex-fiancee. And Jonathan during the rose ceremony mentions his son.
Thanks again!
Nick actually said he loves Kaitlyn during the mariachi number, so he got points for that!
Re: Ben H., he did mention his ex and I thought she might have been his fiancee too but I rewound and watched again and it’s just edited confusingly. He talks about his ex and Kaitlyn says, “Well, being engaged is a big deal. [pause, leading all of us to believe he was engaged.] Do you think you’re ready for it at 26?”
However, you’re totally right about Jonathan mentioning his son. It jogged my memory reading your comment. Updating now! Thanks.
Go Hawks! Those tornado warnings were a pain… Thanks for staying up late to post this on-time! It was hard to choose between the Hawks and the Bachelorette. :)
Sophie’s Choice, man! :) I was bleary-eyed at work on Tuesday but it was all worth it.
Doesn’t chris get 25 points for getting the rose to stay another week?
And same for justin and Jared?
Yep, Sue got it! Thanks :)
These points were awarded last week because they got their roses before the ceremony.
Oh thank you! That’s right. These rose ceremonies in the beginning are really throwing off my memory!
Thanks, Sue!
Will you be doing a mid-season draft this year?
No official mid-season draft this year because the reaction was sorta lukewarm to it last year. However, if your league wants to institute it yourselves, feel free!
Shawn B has 25 points for getting the rose to stay another week twice!
He got 2 roses this week. 1 during the rose ceremony and 1 during the one-on-one.
Thanks, Courtney, yep!
So he got one rose at the rose ceremony that kicked off the show and then he got the rose on the one-on-one date. It’s really screwing everyone up that they’re no longer ending shows on rose ceremonies!
