Bros & Shows - Sam M and Tomas N: The Couple We Didn't See Coming (Bachelorette ep03 Full Recap)

Episode Date: July 25, 2024

What's up Brose? Welcome back to another Bachelorette episode. If youre not following along with this season, you are missing out on some very funny and very easy to watch TV. In this episode, Spencer's stock rises as he gets a one on one date with Jenn. The group date turns into a striptease competition as the boys get lessons from Thunder From Down Under. Jonathon takes home the trophy, Devin takes home the group rose and Sam N. gives an... interesting speech professing his love for Jenn... Sam M and Tomas N should just date each other at this point. They spend more time gossiping together than they do focused on Jenn. Clearly Sam M and Jenn have the sexual chemistry, but is there more there? Or will she realize he's about as deep as a puddle. Meanwhile, Tomas N is just Sam's hype man at this juncture. Aaron and his pearl necklace get a call from Fighter Pilot school and it sounds like there's an opening for him to fulfill his lifelong dream. The fact that he even considered staying on the show rather than do that is alarming in of itself... The second group date is at a racetrack and Jeremy gets the play of the game by stopping the car for a smooch mid race. Aaron drops a bomb on his way out telling Jenn that some of the men are there for the wrong reasons... Who gets a rose? Is anyone there for the wrong reasons?

none of you are safe. New episodes every Wednesday, wherever you get your podcasts. Good evening, everybody. That's how we're starting the show. This is how we're starting the show because you wanted to sit here and mess around with your background. don't have a green screen so it froze you welcome to brav bros i was going to start it out with a shooter will you accept this bros and uh you blew it so uh what's up everybody welcome back to

another episode of brav bros be r o s e we are reviewing the bachelorette tonight and my god lots to say about this episode but first and foremost as always i am joined by the wonderful shooter mcrosdder mcrosder i like that that kind of works out Yeah, I was trying to do a little green screen, try to get a little fancy. Don't have a green screen. Just, you know, the one that I landed on looked like a beautiful mountain house. But, yeah, no, it didn't really work out. So here I am.

It was a great in my unfinished back room, which is just kind of plain. It looks a little prison cellish. But hey, the green screen he did have was lovely to anybody out there wondering. but I'm glad that we are back to normal, whatever. We are here to talk about The Bachelorette. Yeah, let's keep the main thing, the main thing, the main thing here. How about that? Let's keep the main thing, the main thing, and we'll trust the process,

and we'll get through this together. And we're three episodes in now? What do you think of The Bachelorette? It's still a fun watch. It's still just, like, so goofy. You can't, it's actually, you know what I think it is? It's impossible to take it. it seriously. It is far in a way impossible to take this show seriously. I don't know

anybody out there that would watch this and actually get upset or get mad that people are doing things. Like the fact that Sam M and Thomas N are sitting on the couch together trying to be bullies, nobody can get mad about that because it's just so goofy and they just look like such dorks that who cares. It's just a goofy time and that's what we love. It's a silly goose time and I'm thoroughly enjoying myself as well. I think that that the most palpable sexual tension in this entire show is between Sam M and Thomas N. Those dudes want to bang so bad that they sit and talk at any point they have about the other dudes and why those two are like the best choices in the house.

But these guys are all losers. We're going to get the girl, right, dude, except Thomas, you're my little bitch boy. So you simmer down over there. And after this, we'll kiss. Yeah, I was going to say, it's more like Sam M wants to fuck himself and Thomas N. to fuck Sam. So it's sort of like a human centipede of wanting to fuck each other. It's a Sam Thomas centipede.

Yep. And nobody's here for it. Those two guys are the biggest losers on this entire show. And I'm bummed out that I fell for Sam M's raw sexual energy in the first episode. I was like, this guy's going to take the cake. And then I'm like, oh, this guy's a fucking dork. And anybody that has to bow their chest out that much episode to episode. is softer than Charmin.

I'm sorry. I'm not falling for it. I'm over Sam M. And Thomas N is just his little hype man that gets him all like hot and bothered. And those two just need to kiss. Just look, guys, give each other a rose. Go hang out somewhere in Melbourne and kiss. I honestly, I thought that Sam M was going to go home today.

After all of that, the buildup that we had going on there during the, the strip tease act when Jen was accompanied by a couple of Bachelorette, Hall of Famers, if you will, or past Bachelorette contestants. They even said to her, hey, don't fall for it. That's what I did. Didn't work out. And you saw her thinking, the wheels started turning. I'm like, this could be his downfall.

And he's being such a dick this entire episode that it would be really funny. Because at the end of the day, we're not going to harp on breaking the fourth wall a little too much. But you know the producers are in her ear with, all right, if you're going to give it to this guy, make sure he's last because he's the one who's going to be freaking out the most. Things like that absolutely happen. I would have loved it if it was his time to go because of the way that this episode played out, but it wasn't.

So we get another couple of weeks probably of that bullshit. Which is, I'm okay with it. We're going to keep the main thing, the main thing, the main thing. And we will always keep the main thing, the main thing, whilst trusting the process. And for those people that aren't Philly fans or Philly sports fans, keep the main thing, the main thing is Jalen Hertz's go-to line. And trust the process is what we've been doing with the Sixers for a fucking decade and getting let down. So he keeps referencing Philly Sports.

And it's giving us a bad name at this point. I don't want him affiliated with us. It's bumming me out. But this show is just delightful. It is such an easy watch and I'm enjoying myself thoroughly. So let's jump into this week and we start out with the boys lifting together. They're lifting together with the Marriott Melbourne. I kind of figured that's what they'd be doing.

Yeah, I'm surprised that it took this long and they've been there for a week. I'm surprised it took till episode three to see them lifting together because they've got to just be doing that. all the time, right? Playing pool and listening together. Yeah, they hang out on that patio with with dumbbells probably 24-7. When they're not filming, they're lifting together, waiting for the cameras to shoot that scene of them lifting together. And I just, I love again, I guess we're here for another week and then they go back to

the state. So maybe that's when we get like the fancy, swanky bachelor pad or whatever the hell it is. Sure. It's still so funny to me that we're filming this in the Marriott Hotel in Melbourne. And I have some critiques of how people have been saying Melbourne as we get into this. But let's start out first. Are you sure you're the person who should be critiquing, though? Yeah, because, oh, did you forget?

I lived in Australia. Yeah. No, I didn't forget. You know what I also didn't forget is somebody from Australia telling you that you have a shit accent. But so many people, the more I watch this, the better it's getting. It's all coming back to me. I could slip right back into a wrought neck. go move out there everyone think i'm a local so don't worry about it right back into what

slip right back into australia is what they say out there oh oh i think i think you said slip back into it and i the it kind of sounded like a yeah and i was like i don't know what the fuck you're saying bud but you better move on it's an Aussie it's an Aussie thing i'll slip right into you it means i want to get one by you it's not a thing i'm sorry to all of our Aussie listeners I'm so sorry. But the first date card comes out and it's a one-on-one. We got three dates. We got two groups and a one-on-one.

And Spencer gets the date card. And I'm starting to change my tune about Spencer. I'm starting to like Spencer more and more. I appreciate that he doesn't get involved in the bullshit. He is a dweeb, but in an endearing kind of way. Like I don't mind his dweebness, if you will, because he seemed like he just kind of pure. And his voice bugs me. Yeah, his voice definitely bugs me.

It's just, I don't know what it is, really. It's like, I don't know. He's got a bit of the milk in the throat kind of thing. Yeah, it's sort of that, but I feel like I imagine him like spitting as he talks, too. Like it's one of those kind of voices where I'm like, oh, what the hell is daffy duck voice? I don't know. I will say, I didn't notice until this episode. He's a handsome cat.

he's a good looking dude i think that the nerdiness before i was like blinded me but this when he's getting ready for the date i was like he's a good looking guy like i had that was lost on me his look slipped up in you man they got slipped in me i we got stuff saying that i don't like it i don't care for it at all actually but they go on a chopper date but before that you know i like to write down the kisses this was a bit of an awkward kiss and did you see the ass grab oh yeah oh yeah he slipped the hand down I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm all right with it soon.

I'm all right with it. Yeah. You know what? Because I didn't expect it out of Spencer. I think that's why. If Sam Emm had done it, I'd be like, all right, dude, fucking like, try to connect on an emotional level for the love of God.

Stop doing this shit. But Spencer, I'm like, all right, dude. You try to test your boundaries there. I like it. I was surprised. It looked a little forced. And the more I saw them making out, the more I became aware.

I don't think he knows what to do with his hands. I think it's a Ricky Bobby situation because every time they're making out he's like touching her face and then he like grabbed her arm on the chopper and then touched her face again. I'm like, I don't think you know where to put your hands. So the arm grab on the chopper I took as he was

nervous actually. I think he was nervous and he like grabbed onto something. Yeah. I was looking for a little nerves. Chopper rides are a little choppy. You would you wouldn't catch me on a chopper. I don't trust him. I don't trust him. I don't trust him. But you get a quick flashover to the

boys and you may love him or hate him i don't have any issues with devon on this show at all but like he he does not care about the other guys or claims that he's the one that says all the right things all the time like this is about jones about jen this is the first time in this episode we see sam m and thomas n have one of their little cute hangouts and this is the first one of the episode shooter kept the counter for everybody don't worry this is the first I'm going to keep the main thing, the main thing that we get from Sam M. And this is also the first time he's peacocking going, he smoothed with his words. Well, I'm smooth with my fists.

Cool. Punch him. See what that does. See what Jen says if you punch him in the face. We get it. You're a tough guy. Like, that needs to be put to bed. I'm tired of that.

And I'm tired of Thomas N sitting there. Does Thomas N know that he's the Robin? Like, this is Batman and Robin. Thomas N. And you're Robin. do you know that i don't know what he's trying to do though because he was such a big this is all about jenn and we all want to make sure that we get our chance here if you're just going to hide behind sam m you're going to lose dude like that's yeah not how that's

going to work you're not even trying to focus on jen anymore you're just trying to focus on how much you could get up sam m's ass so the two of you can go hate on devon so i don't know what his game plan is here there it doesn't seem like he has one i think he's just leaching on right now he needs to strategize better i i agree with that because what's going to end up happening is sam m's going to get a rose and thomas n is not going to get a rose and then he's going to be what happen it's going to make you you put all your stock in another player dude like you forget this like a hunger game scenario when everyone teams up in the beginning it's like yeah but you're still going to have to kill each other in the end i think he latched on i think he's a leech i latched

on too soon i think it's going to bite him in the ass i see thomas n going home before sam m And then he's going to be like, oh, shit, I played this the wrong way entirely. And you did. The whole focus of so many guys in this group being on the other guys in this group is bizarre to me. This is called the Bachelorette, gentlemen. What do you think the goal is here? It's not to shit talk other dudes. She's not seeing the footage, by the way.

She's not going to sit there and watch week to week. You see it now? Now she is. And she's probably now like, wow, these guys are talking about the other guys more than they're talking about me. That's not a good look. I'm just confused what they think by going to a confessional and talking shit about the other guys is going to win for them as far as support goes. No one else is seeing that footage right now. We're watching it months later.

So what the game plan of some of these dudes is laughable. It's simply laughable. And to be fair, Sam M did say keep the main thing, the main thing four, count them four times in that short little conversation that we saw there. That was four? was a two minute conversation, at least it was edited that way. And four times he said that. He said it back to back in like the same sentence. He said, I just keep saying that I'm going to keep the main thing, the main thing. And I'm going to keep the main thing, the main thing. It's like, okay, dude, do you have Tourette's? Like, what is this? Like, I don't get it. Like, what's

happening? Look, all right, so the counter's at four. We're in the second scene. The counter is at four. Let's keep plugging away. Spencer has his one-on-one dinner with Jen. And I'm, I'm noticing a trend here. And you called it out last week with a trauma dump when she had her dinner with Marcus. That's what they do. So you have your one-on-one. I'm going to show you that I can be vulnerable and emotional here. And he does the same thing. He lets her in on his previous engagement. And this poor guy, I don't think that he saw, like, if I'm picturing this image in my head, he was probably head over heels in love with this girl. It was very lovey-dovey all over all the time and she probably was like and she was probably like hooking up with you know her yoga instructor

or something like that yeah i was gonna say like tennis instructor yeah tennis instructor that's exactly it and like she comes home from a girl's trip and clearly all they were doing was talking about this soon-to-be wedding she comes home packs her bags and bounces and this poor guy was left to pick up the pieces i have sympathy for him 100% i'm just trying to oh it's terrible i'm just trying to play it out in my head because he seems like such a sweet person. I didn't even know he cussed until the end of this episode. But the big question from Jen after this big reveal that he was previously engaged, is, well, are you ready for another engagement?

I'm totally ready. I'm 100% ready for this. I'm really excited for it. And it's been four years. So I'm sure he is ready to go. And I like Spencer. I've turned on Spencer. I didn't think he had a shot.

He's starting to climb his way up the leaderboard, especially. I feel like this show does kind of go that way, though. Like, we obviously, and it's funny because it starts off with the first impression, first impression of Rose, we had first impressions too. And there are a couple of guys who I was like, ah, no, absolutely not. I could throw Jeremy under that umbrella as well. Did not like Jeremy at all. I thought that this episode, he was pretty smooth.

Spencer, still a little wary about how Spencer is. But I like him a lot more episode three than I did episode one. And the guys that we liked in episode one were like, Maybe not. I don't know. So it's funny how they keep us on our toes. Yeah, these boys are keeping me. I don't know what to think.

They got me going back and forth left. And I don't know which way is up right now. But it's exciting. I'm excited. I don't know about you. He gets a rose. They make out in front of fireworks. Again, the hand placement was awkward.

It's face, body, face. Like he goes back. It's too much movement. It's like mid body somewhere, then kind of slides down, and then back up to the face. It's like, yeah, you're right. He doesn't know what to do with his hands. That's what I'm saying.

And that's okay. Maybe it's cute in some kind of way. I don't know. But he needs to figure out where to put his hand for an extended period of time. It's distracting to me. All right, Spence, they're a good dude. Just figure out the hands, okay? Stop Ricky bobbing this whole thing.

But date card number two comes out. We get the second group date. It's a big crew. We got a lot of guys going on this. I'm not even going to list them off because it's quite a few gentlemen that there's nine, I believe. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. nine nine guys so it's nine guys uh which makes sense because the second one is what four dudes um and there's 13 total so or no there's more than that whatever there's nine guys

15 total yeah 15 total nine guys go on this one and um it's at the forum theater in melbourne and uh we get the Aussie versions of the chippendales what i wrote until they said their name i was like oh wait i've heard of these guys thunder from down under and not when i was in australia i've heard of these guys over here so it is a big group and you follow them on instagram no but i'm not i'm not above that what do you know what do you know about them i don't know i've seen a billboard i believe uh i haven't been to a billboard i think so i'm not kidding thunder from down under ah man i swear to god i've seen this advertised somewhere have not been i'm not against going i would go to something like that but i i have no idea what the targeted ad was it a targeted ad on

instagram you think i'm scrolling it's pop up i don't think so he's following me i don't know what the hell yeah i just fucking thunder from down under every time i scroll up there it is again uh no to my knowledge that's not where it was but regardless we're getting the dudes putting on a little strip tease action and we get to learn the moves i need to know out of the three moves so the number three the third best move is the body roll that was the body roll if you're not watching on youtube you missed the body roll number two dolphin dive number one grip and rip grip and rip now first question have you ever done any of these uh yeah i've i've i've definitely done the grip and rip for sure i've definitely ripped off my shirt like that before who hasn't um

I I dolphin dive seems kind of fun like you get the run turn I would try it any day you think you could doffind dive yeah I could definitely dolphin dive and I wouldn't hurt my fucking um like Thomas that was so embarrassing and also he's fucking lactose intolerant to dude figure it out like stop I know it's tough it's a tough look it seems like a nice guy but you're just too soft you're too soft for this game but anyway so what was the other one the body roll. Yeah. I mean, I've definitely, I probably can't do it, but I've tried to do it for sure. Yeah. My entire tourster just kind of moves. Yeah. You tried two, you would try the dolphin dive, but I will be in the ocean this weekend, and I will try to dolphin dive in the ocean. That'll be

good. I'll be down there too. We'll meet up. We'll dolphin dive. I'll just, if we're not on the same beach, I'll call you. I'll say, I'm doing a dolphin dive in like 35 seconds. Get ready. We do it synchronized. I need you to have somebody film your dolphin dive. They'll film my dolphin dive and we will potentially post this on Instagram and see who's got a better dolphin dive. Perfect. If one of us hurts our thumb, we owe Sam N an apology. Yeah, but here's the thing.

The only way that I could imagine hurting my thumb in the ocean is it maybe I cut it on a shell. You know what I'll do? I'll pop back up. I'll look at the blood and I'll do another dolphin dive because I ain't no bitch. What? Is that targeted? Do you know what happened to me in Vermont? What?

No. I didn't tell you. my right toe is barely hanging on my right big toe i jumped off a dock and it said on the dock in lake champlain it said caution zebra muscles sharp and i'm like oh they're probably at the bottom bro i jumped off the dock and my toe is in shambles i thought i needed stitches the guy i don't but i gouged my big toe so deep that it was lifted my foot out of the water and it was just pouring pouring blood to the point that people around me were like oh god like put that away like don't don't show me that i'm like i'm bleeding and you're telling me to

not show you like i'm i'm i'm dying no you're like me a month ago when i kept uh fucking up my foot yeah so i think that it's healing it hurts a lot and we keep poppy and i keep going hiking in valley green because we're looking for wood elves we haven't found them yet but we found a lot of evidence so it's just i have a constant pulse in my big toe so i thought you were you were making fun of me for cutting myself on a shell ontario the Weight is over.

Welcome to Night Vale is a twice-monthly update from a small desert town where the paranormal is real.

Every conspiracy theory is true. We all have to get on with our lives anyway. Welcome to Night Vale is available wherever you get your podcasts. Anyway. Anyway, let's get back to the show. Neither here nor there. But everyone's talking about how they're going to handle this. How are we going to handle this?

How am I going to do? I'm a little nervous or I'm set for this. whatever. The fact that Sam M goes and says, I don't have any shame. I don't care about anyone, especially Devin. I'm like, why do you even have to mention them? Why do you have to talk about him right now? Just leave Devin out of it. Say, I'm so psyched for this because it's right up my alley because I have no emotional depth and don't offer anything else other than my body and being the hot guy. So this is like it for me. I can't fucking wait. Say that. Leave Devin out of it. He has nothing to do with this. We get it. You actually don't even have to say that. We

understand we know this going into it you don't even have to talk yes correct but i thought it was hysterical every other dude there must be like god damn it when sam m is practicing the grip and rip and walks up to jan and she literally goes oh fuck like looks away i was like every other dude just crying a towel yeah just like oh fuck and i was like jesus calm down there's other people there you two can go in the dressing room later but it was legit Legitimately, that was the sound that was made. So every other guy was very insecure after that moment. But Jen says, I'm not looking for the best abs.

The camera pans to Devin's stomach. I know. That was dirty work. That was mean. That was dirty work. It was. I wrote that's fucked up before I even heard what he had to say. And I was like, damn, even after hearing that he has body image issues, the producers are like, zoom in on the stomach.

Keep that in. Edit that back in. That's so mean. Poor guy. I agree. But anyway, let's get to the performances. Okay. This is before the performances, we hear that Devin was a,

was a larger kid growing up, has some insecurities with it. So this is a big moment for him, I believe. And we get to the dances. Dylan, solid start, little awkward with the movements. 10 out of 10 on the pink bedazzled pants. Cool. Marcus, Neil Real Strong, 10 out of 10. That guy, he was great.

he had the moves i think he's done that before oh yeah yeah that wasn't the first time he's done a strip these yeah yeah now i i feel bad for the helmet though i i do too yeah that that helmet needs deep sanitation but um that use some comment on that yeah yeah so somebody needs to do something about that damn helmet no i i had the same thought it looked like he's been doing this before practicing so i'm not going to go any further than that though yeah no uh let's see Thomas A. Great bod. Doesn't have the hips.

No hips. No problem with him. Grant, Mr. Eight rounds. I didn't have much to say. Just six out of ten. Thomas N. I wrote decent moves. Jonathan, good moves.

And he had Jen written on the underwear. Thought that was solid as well. Very smart. It was a smart move. Sam M. We didn't get to see a whole lot, except that he was so fired up for this scene. and uh he didn't do shit i didn't see much maybe didn't do it but yeah he didn't no he didn't do

anything he was just like i'm going to go out there i'm just going to rip my shirt off and i'm going to get real close to her and that's about it like that's all you had to do i saw when he tried to do the dolphin dive and dry hump the ground it didn't land i was like that's mediocre at best sir that wasn't very good for all the talk you've been five out of ten i gave him a four point three that was a that was just not a great performance and this is where you get the line and those two sitting next to gen were contestants on bachelorette australia so that's where they're from the one said to her because she even says wow like i the tension's there i feel the tension don't fall for that i picked that guy and it did not turn out well and like you said earlier

i was like oh shit that's a big knock and we've yet to still see sam m be able to open up past just the sexual tension. The minute they sit down together, they start making out. So that, that's a big red flag to look out for. I think that moment's going to live in the back of her head for the rest of the time. I think she's always going to go back to that couch and be like, I remember what she said, though. I still think there's going to be some sort of challenge, group date, one-on-one day, whatever, where she's going to have to ask, you know what would be great, actually, is if there's a one-on-one, a little bit down the road, maybe next week, week after. And we've seen these one-on-ones go really deep very like trauma dump very emotional she's going to expect that from him and he's

not going to be able to give it to her because he's not that deep he's about as deep as the water that you jumped in at uh lake champlain there's some no it was deep their thing was on the dock it was on the platform i didn't see it oh okay i misunderstood whatever yeah yeah no i didn't land on the bottom i cut it whilst jumping off of the dock god that sucks that's a real shame um But no, I really do think that we're going to get paired up to a point where she's going to ask him some deep questions. And he's going to be stammering and then he's going to stop and then he's going to try to make out with her. And she's not going to give him a rose at the end of the one-on-one date and then he's done. I think his go-to is going to be how much he cares about her and how everything is right.

And he knows in his heart that it's right. You just talking about Devin the whole time. Yeah. I'm way better than Devin, that piece of shit. I'll talk about about Sam's accent later because my God. But, uh, Devin, Dr. Detective was his name? Something like that. That doesn't make sense.

That's what I wrote down, Dr. Detective. That doesn't make a lot of sense. I think it's Dr. Love Detective or something. Is it Dr. Love Detective? Something like that. Yeah. Confusing. Regardless, you know, the fact that he put it all out there wore a thong, leaned into

the whole thing, this is a. a big message for dudes out there confidence goes a very long way because he leaned into it he was himself and you know what they said the two Aussie bachelorets he's got big dick energy so he's insecure about his body he's not feeling very comfortable he says fuck it goes all in he was the best one there i thought so i mean jonathan well no jonathan was stellar and he wins he was solid he was phenomenal but that was like that legit looked like he was a professional he might have done this to make some money in the past. But I really appreciated in that moment,

Devin leaning into it. And that's what confidence can do, fellas. Don't, you know, I know insecurities leak in. Shit happens. I get it. But hey, be confident with who you are because the abs don't matter. Look at Thomas A. He got whacked and he's got a ridiculous body.

And he got, he got the boot. Devin, didn't. Yeah. See you, pal. Sam N. Whoa. this my thumb hurts

my thumb hurts my thumb hurts my thumb hurts I'm just going to tell her I love her my fingers hurt well now your back's going to hurt because you just pull landscaping duty but like honestly your knee jerk reaction

to this scene when he walks out there goes cut the music and starts this speech that he gives her what was your initial real what went through your head and then i'll tell you what went through mine um where's the fast forward button because i need to get through that i can't deal with this shit right now that's that's where my thought was i had to watch it but internally i really wanted to just skip through it i can't handle that stuff it's too cringy when he walked out as once again the love virgin and then says what he said i'm falling in love with

you i thought briefly and i think he's just a very nice guy very naive and should not be be on this show. But for a split second, I'm like, this guy's a serial killer. Just for a split second. He still could. But I mean, you can't think that was the right move. I understand what you're doing. And you got a rose.

So, you know, you're around for another week. I don't know if that was a sympathy rose. Maybe you'll figure this game out a little bit. I don't really know. But, dude, it's been three episodes. What is that two weeks, Max? You can't be out there professing your love that fast. That's confusing.

that's confusing to everybody but the fact that other people think that other people being sam m are taking this personally like oh this too soon as disrespectful to everybody else it's like first and foremost sir once again i'm going to say this so many times it's going to hurt my brain it's not about him you shouldn't give a shit what i if anything you should be thanking him for what he just did because that was not a good performance he didn't do well she wasn't sitting there going wow i appreciate the vulnerability She's going, wow, that's too soon. Maybe I can work past this, but that's a little nerve-wracking.

So you should thank him for that, not get pissed off that he was the first one to say it. Like, I have no idea why everyone's so concerned about what the other guys are doing. It's about you and Jen. You play your game and they'll play theirs. That's how this game goes to my knowledge. So stop getting wrapped up and everyone else is bullshit. God damn it. Well, yeah, him and Thomas, just sitting back at the house,

snickering and whispering to each other just walking around in the garden holding hands talking to each other he little kisses on the cheek and stuff that's what they were doing over there you can't tell me otherwise i know just smooching i know it's just they're just over there kissing they were smooching over there just over there kissing everybody knows it those guys aren't hiding anything wait why are we making fun of this guy these guys are over here making out what the hell yeah you guys are smooching over there yeah we're on to you boys you're not hiding it at all but uh I will say, as everyone's going through their one-on-one time with her, this is the first time that I've been, like, uncomfortable about the setup

because, you know, she just makes out with Jonathan. And you're seeing Devin very shortly after just standing there waiting for Jonathan to leave, and then he sits down. I'm like, I know there's overlap. I know this is how the show goes. And, yeah, it's whatever. But that was the first time I was like, uh, he's like, You're like standing there.

Like, just go away for a sec. Let her call you in. Let her choose some gum or something first. I don't know. There's a lot of crossover smooches this evening. There's a lot of it to the point where, and I wrote it out in group date number two, as she's talking to Austin, her lipstick is still kind of smeared from kissing somebody else. I was like, oh, interesting.

I know it's the show. No judgment. Zero judgment. Just, you know, we're going to point things out as we see them. But Devin, this is where he starts talking about the fact that he was a little heavyset growing up. He's insecure about it. He's worked really hard to change it, but it still sneaks back in his head. And look, I was a hefty kid growing up my teen years.

I understand the insecurities. So I honestly really appreciated that I don't get deep with this show. I think this is not our, if you want that, you can listen to Our Housewives or House of the Dragon. But that moment for me, I was like, you know what? I really appreciate Devin in this. moment. That's really sweet. I'm glad you shared that. I'm glad you were able to go out there and do your thing and then give her the credit for giving you the confidence. It was a genius move. I don't think that's where it came from. But hey, good for you, buddy. That's a great play.

That's a good play. Don't hate it. I was just imagining you getting deep with House of the Dragon, like talking about, oh, man, you know, I don't blame Agon. He really loved his sister back at the day, and I'm really upset, like, you're getting upset about this brother and sister not having a fair chance at love. What do you mean you get deep with the dragon? No, no, no, no, I mean, more analytical. Like, we, we, this is like us laughing and talking about these idiots. Emotionally.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I mean, just mean, like, take it more seriously than we take this show, was my point. I was just saying, I did appreciate Devin in that moment. I was like, oh, that's cool, man. Like, good for you. yeah let's keep trucking away and this is where you get the second thomas n and sam m uh meet cute and they're standing outside and i love that sam m thinks that he is like the voice of reason in dating in general that he knows better and knows who should be with who and this guy sam like he don't

get it he doesn't get it and devon of all people is sitting there he he's defended everybody up until this point that's getting picked on. I haven't got a vodka cranberry. You got a vodka cran. Hey, nothing wrong with that. You drink what you want to drink. What's, what's wrong with a vodka cranberry? Tell me what's wrong with the vodka cranberry.

I enjoyed vodka cranberries back in the day. Did you? I would chug the vodka from a pint and chase it with cranberry. Find the cranberry juice under my car seat. Yes. Yeah, I did. Oh, that's sad. that's a bummer that just made me sad

yeah thanks dude there's a unlocked memory that hot half crann half vodka rolling out from under my truck seat is this diff spin fuck you well played sir

well played indeed but just the fact again the fact that Sam M is claiming to be like this this know all of everything like dude if you were this good at relationships and knew how this shit worked you would not be on the bachelorette right now that's it that's it period you wouldn't be on this show if you knew what the fuck you were doing but sam n addresses the entire room

and this is that scene you were talking about where sam and thomas are just sitting there like giggling like idiots like he he he devon steps in like you don't owe anybody an explanation I will say this about Devin. I think that he has found his way to play the game, and I'm not 100% sure it's genuine. I think that he's taking the savior approach because he knows that he can. I'm not sure.

And to be fair, he hasn't given any reason to the otherwise or the contrary, but I don't know if it's 100%. I think maybe he just wants to be that guy. I don't think it is at all because I can tell you right now, I saw that as a little disingenuine just because we know that there was a conversation that happened off camera between Devin and Sam Mett and said, hey, just so you know, these two are snickering about you and what you sit on stage. That's why Sam went back to the group and said, hey, just so everybody knows, this is what I'm thinking, you don't have to worry about it. This is how I'm doing it. Don't tell me how to feel my feelings. And then Devin immediately comes to his aid. So it's a little weird. that you're the one to bring it up to them. Like, hey, these guys are gossiping about you. But don't worry, bro, I got your back.

And then I'm the first person to talk up and have your back. I would have, it's almost like, yeah, he definitely set it up. And I wish that we could have seen the scene of him pulling him aside saying, hey, this is what's going on. Because then everybody could be like, oh, well, this isn't that real. Like, maybe he's being a good friend. I don't know. But yeah, I think he's just playing the game.

And I don't know. I don't see it coming back to bite him in the ass. I just don't know if it's going to work. Yeah, it's an interesting tactic. It's working so far. And I do think there's a modicum of honesty there. I don't think it's 100% him. I think he's leaning heavy into it.

But at least he's got a strategy. Like at least he's got a strategy that may pan out. Yeah, it's not bad at all. But this is where he calls out Sam and Thomas for the mutual respect thing, which I agree with that. He's like, you guys talk all the shit about mutual respect and you're over there giggling like idiots. You talk shit about a lot of people here and you want to claim that you have mutual respect. Sam's like, this is where the accent comes in. he when he starts to get tough like it starts to turn he's like to i always keep in the new york accent

like we got nothing to say to which like we got nothing to say to i'm like where the fuck did that come from make he's from south carolina where's your new york accent come from yeah what is this isn't good fellas i don't know what the hell this is you know what it is i think he's just like i i don't i i have no idea actually i don't know where i was going with that i think he's just like a movie character i like that's where he is he seems like one and wow Thomas N, I wrote down, Thomas N chimes in for Daddy because he's like, bro, me, me, me. Like, ah, shush, shush, you just go away. You're losing that.

You're not even part of the conversation anymore. The fact that you got a rose is. He shouldn't be on the show anymore. Yeah. You did nothing to get that. He needs to go. He's brutal. And we get our fifth, keep the main thing, the main thing.

And I believe sixth. I believe there was two keep the main thing, the main things here. Yes. Which come up with new material, but that goes to show you, this guy is about a as deep as a puddle so he doesn't have much more than that he practices these lines every night and that's still always got to come up with but uh this is um the sam m and jen kiss i thought there was way too much tongue to be honest um you know he leads with the tongue that that's a strange move but she says you haven't asked me to be your girlfriend and this is honestly where i see his tactics

not working because she was trying to be somewhat cutesy right there like yeah obviously they both want to rip each other's clothes off but she was trying to be cutesy and he goes oh what you mean what'd you mean like this again the fucking accent and he straddles her and she's like no not like this like and i thought she was being and then he does it and then he does it three more times then he lays across her body like horizontal yeah he doesn't know what the hell he's doing he has no idea how to be emotionally connected to somebody no no it's very funny but the best part is that devon gets the group rose and sam m is laughing and has the nerve to say i'm not sweating a group date rose you just talked about how he's not going to get a rose and he got the rose above all

of the dudes in this room there was nine of you guys and he got the rose even after your show stopping routine, even after you've talked all this shit with Thomas N while you guys were smooching in the corner, yep, you lost, at least if you're going to play that game of like, I don't give a fuck, like, admit that you lost, don't then be like, that doesn't matter. He's going to, he's not going to get a rose down the road. He got one before you, buddy. Yep, sure did. That's all I'm saying.

That's what we're going to say. But our favorite pearl wearing gentleman, Aaron. A.A. Ron gets a call from Top Gun. And he's got to make a decision. Am I going to go learn how to fly for Tom Cruise and Glenn Powell and Miles Teller? Or

am I going to stay on The Bachelorette and find the love of my life? And it's a conundrum. This man's in a pickle. All right. It's a tough decision to make. He's got... It's fucking insane, dude. Go home. Break down this previs yes go home you're an aerospace engineer you're a fucking loser but you are an aerospace engineer

that has wanted to be a fighter pilot your entire career you have the opportunity no you don't even consider staying on the bachelor you the minute you get that call you should go oh fuck i got to leave immediately your top gun flight teacher is going to see this and be like you're not serious about this at all you're fired you're not going to make it through flight school because they're going to get clips of this you've got a better chance finding love if you go home and become a fighter pilot or whatever the hell that was and then you go out to the local bar and say i'm a fighter pilot you've got a good chance you find a love right there and there we've seen it drive up on the motorcycle yeah we've seen it twice yes i'd like to see it a third time if they could make that happen i want to see it again but yeah

go home dude what are you doing here i don't get it i know you have to make a show for the show but Dude, go home. You shouldn't even be going to this stock car raising thing. Just go home. You need to go home. You also don't have a chance. Actually, you know what, no. You don't even have a chance. You should know that you don't have a chance because you're too scared by somebody like Devin. There's still 14 other guys in the house. You don't have a shot.

But group tape number two is at the racetrack and who drives stick?

And Aaron's like, oh my gosh, I'm the only one that does that. this guy right here and uh we get the times in and hakeem minute 31 stayed in first gear the entire lap not surprising we got in third place or sorry jeremy was in fourth but jeremy fucking great move so good move also he's the guy who pulled up in the car for his first impression so like she already complimented your car you don't need to win this race you just need to look good drive about two thirds of the lap and then just put it in park baby put it in park get a little kiss and then keep going that one tells you tells her i'm not in this for this all this stuff i'm in this for you i don't give a shit if i win this race i want more time with you it's a fucking stellar

move and it also says that i don't have an ego fuck these guys they can win i got an extra two minutes with you while these guys were measuring dicks around the track great great play that might be the play of the season thus far yeah we might that's what we're going to start doing we're going to highlight each episode what what the the play of the game was the play of the game jeremy stopping the car outstanding move but uh the funniest part is even after talking all the shit about being you know mr adventurers i love an adrenaline rush i love motorcycles cars fighter play you came in second you came in second austin's never drove stick before and he beat you came in second to a guy with a mullet who i would venture rides well who i would venture rides a tractor so he probably

figured it out maybe he just figured it out along the way this is like a fast tractor it's a factor a factor a factor but uh this is the conversation i was referring to and it's the i'm a risk taker with erin and jen you know i love to live life on the edge they fly by the seat of my pants i don't believe that i i the guy that he is trying to portray is certainly not who Aaron is. I'm not saying he's not a fighter pilot. I'm not saying he's not an aerospace engineer or whatever the fuck. But he is certainly not Mr.

adrenaline. I'm going to fly by the seat of my pants all with. I don't get the dangerous vibe from him. His pearl necklace is too tight. If it was a little looser, I'd be like, all right, you know what? Maybe he's got a little swag. It is like a choker around that thing. Like, no, I don't think so.

You're totally right. I think that if it was a little bit looser, it would then you can you know you could say it's it's a choice it's like a little swaggy thing like you know i'm just that guy i can pull off a longer pearl necklace i i understand what you're saying because it's a choker it takes away the the danger factor then it's just like why are you wearing a pearl choker that's a weird weird choice Aaron and not only once you brought that bad boy out again he doesn't wear it all the time he didn't have it at the track that means you you you accessorized with that bad boy and I'm all here I'm here for look I got 15 bracelets on

I'm not saying he can't wear jewelry whatever jewelry you're going to wear I don't give a fuck if you want a pearl necklace fine get a better one joker pearl not a good look great call I like that that's a good call out but we start to get the one-on-ones with everybody else oh I need to point out the weak-ass kiss that Aaron gave her he went in like a kiss on the cheek like he was kissing his mom on the cheek to go to like I hated that that was uncomfortable and that would have been the moment that he wouldn't get a rose anyway so he did himself a favor by getting himself out of the competition and we'll talk about that shortly because jesus christ he dropped the fucking nuclear bomb on the way out but uh austin talks about getting cheated on

and they have a great kiss uh that's where i noticed the lipstick was still smeared from the last kiss which i thought was pretty funny and uh i knew in this moment and not from their one-on-one that Hakeem was not going to get a rose because when she gives hugs, did you see the back scratch? Uh-huh. She gave Hakeem a little like, like, hey, bud,

there was a little buddy back scratch. It was not an embrace. It was a thanks for coming out. Yes. It was almost like a double tap. Like, oh, that's what I saw. I was like, oh, man, you're out.

Well, you know what the thing is like with Hakeem is a big, where's my hug at energy guy? Like he definitely exudes the where's my hug at to like every girl in the group so not surprised by that one that's a good call that's a good call but let's get to the cocktail party and Aaron sits down with Jen and fills her in on the situation and says you know I wish I was further along that I couldn't live my life without Jen but I have to go she's like look I get it you can tell she doesn't really give a shit she's like I understand

I wouldn't want there to be any resentment go do you live your life blah blah blah I just need to let you No, because I'm not winning. I want to ruin everyone else's time and your time. So I'm going to go ahead and tell you, there's people here that are not in it for the right reasons. What do you mean? That seems disingenuous. What do you mean? Who are they?

You got to figure that out for yourself. Jesus. Like, what a loser. So give me your first reaction to that and then tell me where you are now. To Aaron saying that? Yeah. I was like, that's the biggest bitch move I've ever seen just because you're out of the game and you're trying to like throw shade at everybody else. I think that's what that was.

I also think that he's going to leave this show and tell people had I stayed, I would have been the guy, but I took myself out of it because those guys weren't in it for the right reason. I tried to warner. That was my initial response. Where I'm at now, I hated it because I actually don't like. what you have the same feelings just more yeah because like watching everything transpire after the fact like she comes in and yells at everybody which is fine like she's she has every right to be like perturbed by the whole thing i would be irritated as fuck if i had that conversation with him you can tell when she's standing at the car she just wants him to get the hell out of there yeah

but i don't like and it's strictly from a gameplay standpoint because i don't mind that you know they're not getting along and they're having feuds behind the scenes, you know, when they're all hanging out with the boys. But from a gameplay standpoint, I get so frustrated watching those scenes because I'm like, guys, get your head out of each other's asses and focus on Jen. That's why the guys that are laying back, the Spencer's, the Jeromys, the Grants, the Marcos's, that's why they're never stressed about getting a rose. That's why the dudes that we don't see on screen end up getting roses,

Dylan's getting a rose. These guys are getting roses because they are actual men that don't get involved with the petty stuff. So I just talked myself into a different direction. I like it because if I'm Jen, now you're able to see who those guys are and not because Aaron pointed it out, but watch people's reaction to it. The guys that are genuine aren't even going to bat an eye. They're going to think, yeah, whatever. Look at Marcus's conversation. Smooth. like they're good so yeah I think I liked it now okay I started off hating it but by the time that we were recording this I've talked myself into loving it I think it's hilarious I think that dropping a nuclear bomb in the middle of that group of guys is very funny because it caused Jen

to go down there and they didn't do anything wrong necessarily like it seems like they're all like aside from Sam M and Thomas N like talking shit on other guys and they're way too focused on them than they are on Jen, fine, whatever. But these guys didn't really do anything wrong. They're just trying to find some love. And Jen comes in and goes, if you're not here for the right reasons, you better get the fuck out of here.

They're like, that's really funny. That's really funny to me. So I actually really like that move. Sam N was probably crying. He's probably, oh, yeah, he was crying. I hope she doesn't think it's me. I love you. Oh, God, but the group is having a little chit-chat

right before the rose ceremony. And we obviously get the conversations with Jen, but as the group's sitting there talking, right after she lets it drop. Like, if you're not here for the right reasons, like get the fuck out of here. And Sam defends Aaron. Like, that's my boy.

Like, you ain't going to talk shit on my boy. It's like, your boy is a fucking dork. And he just tried to ruin the time for everybody because he didn't specify. So you're under the gun now, too, Sam, M. And the best part is the hypocrisy. I don't spend my time talking about none of y'all. I don't spend my time talking about none of y'all. It's like, bro, all you do is talk about Devin.

That's the only thing you've done for three episodes is talk about Devin and not Jen. That's it. And why you're the best guy there and why everyone else sucks. This is where we get, I believe, the ninth and tenth main thing, the main thing. Because every time he says it, I've noticed, he does repeat it again. I can keep the main thing, the main thing. I always keep the main thing, the main thing. He also said it to Jen twice as well while he was sitting in the one-on-one.

Yeah, he was sitting. He sat down and said it. You know me. I'm just keeping the main thing, the main thing. And then like two minutes later, he's like, I just try to, you know. Trust the process. It's so funny. And then he does it.

And then he does it one more time at a confessional. So 13 total this episode. that's embarrassing you get a better vocabulary my guy like god damn it's so funny but uh let's keep going i wrote it down right here trust the process this is why i trust the process because after the fact when sam m is having his one-in she's like all i wanted was a hug from you i knew that would make me feel better whatever i'm i'm so sick of him dude but devon gets big points because like she cries with him like she's vulnerable with them they have a real connection i believe i'm i'm devon is probably my number one followed closely by marcus at number two right now

this far as the ranking system goes i was a three jonathan dillon's up there mark yeah gillin john has been then john's up there uh grant we didn't see anything from grant this episode but i know he's up there he's spencer's up there i think that's the five Because if there's a top sticks, I would give right now, yeah. Yeah. And I think they're relatively interchangeable after the top two. But I do believe top two are Marcus and Devin as of right now. But the fucking best part, my favorite part, this is where Spencer got so many points for me because the boys are barking.

Sam and Devin are arguing. Sam's, again, I'll fuck you up if we weren't here. Like, all right, dude, sick. And Spencer goes, can you guys just shut the fuck up? I was like, hell yeah, that's the guy. And by the way, that's the guy you actually have to look out for is the dude that's nice and doesn't get involved all the time. That's the guy is going to fuck you up. I'm not worried about Sam M ripping his shirt off and puffing out his chest.

I'm not worried about Devin. I'm worried about Spencer. Those are the ones. You don't fuck with those guys. So that was major for me because up until this point, I'm like, he needs to be a little edgier or at least have that umph. him he's got the oomph i'm like hell yes he's got the um he moved up he's got the um he moved up tenfold this episode he had a great episode so spencer's top five for me for sure uh i appreciated that but we get to the rose ceremony and because errand's out we only have two to get out of here

you got to feel like such a piece of shit if this is the the ceremony you get the boot from two people two people and thomas a bye guys see ya hakeem i saw coming thomas a i wasn't surprised no but i didn't necessarily see it coming yeah who else could you see going home sam n obviously i i really thought that sam m would have gone home or sam n either sam's just because obviously sam n said that he loved her and it's like all right too too much too soon but you know what in this type of show you keep that guy around just to see if there's anything more there um thomas n i could have seen going going home uh that's pretty much it. The rest of them seems like they were pretty locked in there. The funny thing is

we have not really seen anything, anything at all from John. And John is just coasting through. He's just having a good time. He's doing great. He's keeping quiet. He's just, like, we're not even seeing the one-on-ones with her, and I guess there is one-on-ones

because otherwise he wouldn't still be getting roses. I haven't seen one scene with this guy, and he's still there. It's great. But the flip side of that is the few times that we have seen, him he performs very well very normal they seem to get along so he's playing this game extremely well and uh who's left everyone's still on our teams right we still have our five each no so here let me pull it up you lost erran oh you got to draft somebody you lost somebody do

i did yep you lost thomas a oh fuck we got to redraft somebody oh shit so we we each have one person to redraft. Now, just a refresher for everybody out there. Here are the teams. My team is Dylan, Devin, Marcus, and Spencer. Okay. Steele's got Sam M. Grant, Thomas N, and Austin. Okay. I hate your team. Your team sucks balls. My team is not. Your team is rough. You know what? Because your team sucks so much, I will give you dibs on the pool for to fill in your okay read my team off one more time for me here's your team sam m grant thomas n and austin i like thomas or sorry uh austin and grant i'm glad i have those

guys austin you have you have like the two worst you have the two worst i do have the two guys i have the two guys i hate the most on the show now like i hate those guys and i have them on my team they're my front runners too which is it's a bummer you know you got bamboozled but All right. So let me give you your options. Here's your options for replacing. You got one replacement. You've got John, Jeremy, Jonathan, and Sam N.

I'm going John. You're going John? I'm going John. The easy choice there's Jeremy. I'm going John. I like John. All right. Add them to your team as we speak and I'm going to pick up Jonathan.

Oh, fuck. Jonathan would have been a good. one too. Jonathan and Jeremy would have been good, but I, I like John. I think John's got a real shot here. I like what he brings to the table. All right. Updated it as it goes. I like that. All right. Well, uh, that's all I got. Another fun foray into the Bachelor Nation. This show is just fun. It's just fun. It's a good time. It's a good time. It's a good time. late you got anything else no i got nothing everybody have a great weekend yeah they all have a great weekend out there all right bro brozo out here
