From the beginning, Georgia Love’s quest to find true love with 16 strangers on national television felt fundamentally different to previous seasons of The Bachelorette and The Bachelor.
It started at the very first cocktail party, when Rhys and Aaron (remember him? Me neither) insisted on both talking to Georgia at the same time.
They then proceeded to just speak about themselves, and how friendly they’d become from like five minutes of knowing each other.

It was...bizarre.
They had just arrived. And the whole point of this godforsaken show is to spend time with Georgia and develop a connection with her. Instead, these guys were more excited about building male friendships.
Then Courtney got the first impression rose, meaning he got the opportunity to plan a single date AND a group date for Georgia. But he took his sweet time.
He waited until she prompted him, and then took her scurfing, because it was one of his favourite things to do.
Listen to Bach Chat, the podcast where we discuss all things Bachelorette. Post continues after audio.
On the group date, he took everyone billy carting, and chose Georgia to be on his team only because she was the smallest, and it was a good strategic decision.
When he had the chance to choose who she got to spend extra time with at the end (with the option of himself), he chose some guy named Tommy.

I blame the casting, surely its not that hard to find someone genuine. Instead they go for laughs and stories to make the show more interesting
The rest have a lot of hope because you wont have cameras and lights and directors and editors with you as well as your date and in the background the compare with the idiotic smile and bad bouffant When you tell people about your date it will be real and not edited.In other words your date will be real and you wont be going on that date because you want to be picked up by a media outlet or magazine.And also youll have more sense than to go on an idiotic show to debase yourself because you have more respect for yourself than that
