Not to be dramatic, but if this season comes down to Eric and Bryan, I’ll set myself on fire. Eric is fine, I wish him well with his “feelings of emotions” and all, blah blah. Bryan can go back to Miami and climb back into the adult-sized Baby Bjorn he escaped from to come on this show.
Points are a little lopsided among the men this week, since we got a “to be continued…” There were a couple of judgment calls we made. I did give Peter points for giving Rachel a gift (the cork from their date), but did not give them concert points (I’ve been sung to against my will before – it didn’t feel like a concert). Also, it seems that Rachel may have offered Peter the Fantasy Suite, though we didn’t witness the formal presentation of Chris Harrison’s invitation and key to Bonetown. We’re holding off on giving those points until we see the conclusion of their date next week before making a call.
- Bryan: 60 points (STAT CORRECTION)
- Meeting the Bachelorette’s family and/or friends (15 points)
- Expressing fear of a date activity (10 points)

Thanks as always for doing this! It is very appreciated!
Thank you!
Does Eric not get points for meeting Friends/Family?? (ugh not even my team, what am I doing?)
Also Bryan not get points for saying “Love you” to Rachel?
Duh. Don’t know how I forgot about those! My puppy had a bit of an episode during Bryan’s date, but he said it enough, I shouldn’t have forgotten.
“key to bonetown” = EVERYTHING
I’d give anything to have the actually call it that.
Hi! First of all, that episode was so f-ing boring. I want those two hours of my life back. Now that Dean’s gone I honestly don’t care but I’m too invested in this terrible yet delicious franchise to stop.
Here are my additions du jour:
Bryan:
+10 for expressing fear of a date activity (meeting her parents)
+20 for saying “I’m falling for her” to Rachel in front of her fam
Eric:
+20 for saying I’m in love with you
+5 for dancing (in the helicopter!)
+15 for meeting friends and family
Peter:
no updates, but i think his points total to 70, not 75.
Thank you as always! Paradise is SO SOON.
I will blame those misses on the fact that it was an incredibly boring episode and I kept zoning out. This might be proof that the Bachelor franchise is actually making me dumber.
Thoughts on creating a points system for the Tell All episode? Could add an interesting dynamic to the season and make things more competitive at the end. Just sayin.
Will you be posting special points categories for the Men Tell All?
I’m hoping we see Men Tell All categories and scores!
