The Bachelor Season 23- The Women

So here’s my breakdown of every woman on the Bachelor this season (even the ones who went home night one) mostly just for my own expression, because no one else probably cares. They’ll be judged in the order in which they came out of the limos.

Demi- 23 years old, an interior designer. She’s from Texas, and she’s cute. She doesn’t seem quite mature enough for an engagement, but hey, my mom was 21 when she got married, so who knows? Her mom is in prison for embezzlement, which is... interesting. At least she’s not dodging that truth I guess. Her opening line for Colton is TMI and a little concerning, “I haven’t dated a virgin since I was twelve but I’m ready to give it another shot.” TWELVE??? Honey, I hope you didn’t date another guy after the age of 12 for multiple years. I don’t want to think about the implications of that statement otherwise. She takes Colton aside first at the cocktail party. She says she’s outdoorsy and has a pretty good conversation with Colton. People don’t seem crazy about her, but I think Colton likes her. She’ll probably last a while.

Tayshia- 28 years old, a phlebotomist (I had to google this, it’s someone in the medical field, kind of like a nurse, whose job is to draw blood for testing or donation). She’s from California, and she’s one of the most beautiful women in the whole world. Colton takes notice of this, and says, “Wow. She is GORGEOUS.” as she walks away after she gets out of the limo and they have a short interaction with some nice conversation. She makes a mini date in Tayshialand with carnival-like games for their one-on-one time, and they spend their time giggling and generally seeming to have fun. She’s beautiful and sweet and I think I saw her in some clips from the sneak peek, so I think she’ll make it fairly far into the competition, my guess is at least top 10.

Heather- 22 years old, no job listed. Well, technically her occupation is listed as “Never Been Kissed” which is not a job. Now, I don’t mind that she hasn’t had her first kiss at 22, that’s fine and not as weird as some people think it is. But, if you’ve never even kissed anyone, you can’t have been in a very serious relationship before, which signals to me that maybe you’re not ready to get married, and the Bachelor isn’t exactly a show void of kissing. And I wouldn’t want my first kiss to be with a guy who was kissing five other girls that night. But, you do you. Heather is from California. She seems a little flaky, but overall she appears to be a sweet girl and she’s pretty, so she’ll make it the first few weeks and then be eliminated by my guess.

Nicole- 25 years old, a social media coordinator. Very pretty, from Miami. She’s Cuban and woos Colton by speaking Spanish when she comes out of the limo. I really like Nicole. She comments in an interview that she thinks it’s distasteful that so many women are bringing up Colton’s virginity right off the bat like it’s something so huge to talk about. She’s a little nervous throughout the night because she doesn’t get a ton of time with Colton, but he gives her a rose and she gets the biggest smile on her face. I think she’ll last a few weeks, and then we’ll see. It’s hard to tell when I didn’t see much of their time together.

Caelynn- 23 years old, and she’s a pageant queen. She’s Miss North Carolina 2018 and was the runner-up for Miss America. Needless to say, she’s quite gorgeous, but plot twist- we later find out that she’s only lived in North Carolina for a year! She lived in Virginia like her whole life before that. This is totally unrelated to the Bachelor, but I feel like that shouldn’t be allowed. Did she move to NC just to win the pageant? I don’t get it. Regardless of her home, she seems like a nice person with a lot of good qualities. She connects with Colton during in their later conversation, and I really liked her entrance, where she wore a Miss North Carolina sash that she turned around to say Miss Underwood (it should say Mrs. but I’ll let it slide cause it was cute). She’s Colton’s first kiss of the season, and he’s the one who goes in for it. According to Chris Harrison, she and Colton are gonna get deep later in the season and she’s gonna bring about some important revelations for herself and Colton, so I’m very intrigued. It also seems hinted at that there might be a little bit of a past and some future drama between her and another contestant, Miss Alabama, from the pageant world. Yike. Anyway, she was the first rose other than the first impression rose, which is a good sign, so I think Caelynn will be around for quite a while, and will get a one-on-one date early on.

Sydney- 27 years old, an NBA dancer. She’s from New York (she danced for the Knicks, y’all) and she’s beautiful. Apparently she gave up her job to come on the Bachelor (don’t they all? but I guess maybe this was a more permanent thing? My cousin was an NBA dancer and you’re pretty much done in your late 20′s so I guess maybe it was her last year? idk man). I really like Sydney, she seems super sweet. She has a string quartet during their one-on-one time and teaches Colton how to waltz. It’s cute and they share some laughs. Sydney doesn’t seem into any drama throughout the night, so I applaud her for that. I’d say she’ll last a few weeks, and probably get a one-on-one date at some point.

Elyse- 31 years old, a makeup artist. She’s from Alaska (interesting!) and she’s very pretty (what else is new?). She’s the only redhead on the show, and I love redheads so there’s that. But (I don’t want people to hate me for this but I gotta be honest y’all) I personally think she’s a little old for Colton. Not so much because I think a 5-year age difference is bad but because I don’t think it’s right for Colton, who fits better with someone closer to his own age since he’s still quite young. Her entrance isn’t much, she’s very nervous. But I still like her a lot. Her one-on-one time with Colton involves fishing in the pool, but for a hunk of salmon from like the supermarket, which is weird, but I like her anyway. She’ll last another week or two, and then I hope to see her on Paradise, where she belongs and will thrive!

Tahzjuan- 25 years old, some sort of business consultant. She’s pretty and she’s from Colorado like Colton! She makes a pun about her name but her entrance is nothing special. She’s super judgmental of all the other girls during all her interviews, and I am not here for it. Not a fan. Her time with Colton is cut super short by Interrupty McStealer (we’ll get to her...), which is unfortunate for her, but she was not nice about the other women, and I am not about women who tear down other women for petty reasons (like their outfits and Bachelor entrances...ugh). Anyway, she doesn’t get a rose, and I was okay with it. Other people were pretty broken up about it, but I’ve made my opinion clear. She was pissed she got kicked off and said she thought every other girl should go home before her... I’ll leave that open for interpretation.

Cassie- 23 years old, a speech pathologist and grad student. She’s gorgeous, a natural beauty, and she’s from California. She’s totally my favorite, and she and Colton just seem like a really good match. She comes out of the limo with a cute little box full of fake butterflies and says she’s nervous and has all these butterflies, so she and Colton dump them out to get rid of them. It’s sweet and cute, and they’re very smiley, and as she’s walking away, he thoughtfully picks up a butterfly and tucks it into a pocket inside his suit jacket, with a cute little smile on his face. It was so adorable. Cassie waits patiently to talk to Colton, and during their conversation at the cocktail party, he seems to love that she’s a speech pathologist and works with kids to make a difference, and she teaches him some sign language. She teaches him the signs for “you’re cute” “rose” and “kiss”. (It kinda seems like Colton is gonna kiss her at this point but he doesn’t.) In the middle of their conversation, we see Colton smiling at her and then the show cuts to an interview of him saying that he is “smitten” with some of the women already, and then it cuts right back to him laughing with Cassie... we love. Cassie gets a rose, and I really think she’s a frontrunner. I’d love it if she won the whole thing, but I definitely think she’s at least a top four contender.

Kirpa- 26 years old, a dental hygienist. She’s absolutely beautiful, and she is from California. She seems like a lovely girl with a really nice family (she’s one of the few people we saw an intro package for), but we just don’t see a ton of her this episode. I think I’m really going to like her later, she seems pretty genuine. My only moment of doubt came in her intro when she said she wanted to clean Colton’s teeth... maybe that’s like a romantic thing in the dental world, but to us normal people it’s just weird. Oh well. Kirpa got a rose, and I’m looking forward to getting to know a bit more about her. I’m not quite sure yet how far she’ll make it.

Caitlyn- 25 years old, a realtor. She’s pretty and she’s from Ontario, but I’m not a huge fan. She came out with a balloon cherry and popped it, and I’m just so sick of everyone making such a huge deal out of Colton’s virginity. He didn’t seem to love it as she walked away, but I could be persuaded to come around. Colton seemed to at least warm up to her in the short time they had, though she was also interrupted by the Usurper General. She tells the other girls about how she only got like a minute with him before he was stolen, but it doesn’t seem gossipy, just like she’s disappointed. And I’m on her side here. I actually think I don’t hate her, I just need people to let the virgin thing go. Anyway, she gets a rose later despite limited time, so I think Colton likes her, so she’ll probably hang around for a few weeks.

Courtney- 23 years old, a caterer. She’s very pretty, and she’s from Georgia. She makes a cliche and, honestly, distasteful, joke about him tasting a Georgia peach for the first time, another virginity joke, so I wasn’t loving her at first. She spends a lot of the night talking about girls stealing Colton’s time when she hasn’t spoken to him yet, but doesn’t really make an effort to go get him and talk to him, so I wasn’t loving it. She also made some uppity comments during the rose ceremony about how “if a girl in a sloth costume gets picked over me, I’m gonna be pissed.” (that was the gist, not sure of the exact wording.) Anyway, she does get a rose, so she shuts up, but I’m not loving Courtney. I don’t think she’ll be around super long, maybe a few weeks. Not winner or Bachelorette material.

Katie- 26 years old, a medical sales rep. She’s very pretty and is from the east coast, but moved to California to dance (but her job isn’t a dancer- I don’t quite get this). She does a “card trick” where she takes Colton’s V-Card (have I mentioned how much I hate these incessant jokes?), which I wasn’t a huge fan of, but her intro package was pretty good, even if it was like 95% her working out at a gym for... some reason. However, she had a really great conversation with Colton at the cocktail party about family and values, and she is the second woman he kisses that night. They both say they have a really good feeling about this, which is promising. Colton gives her the second rose at the rose ceremony, and I think she’ll be around for a while, and I think she’ll be one of his first one-on-one dates this season. I have a feeling she won’t win, but she’s one of the only contestants old enough to be a contender for the bachelorette, and she’d be great on BIP.

Alex D- 23 years old, a sloth. Of course, she’s not a real sloth and I’m sure that’s not her actual job (though I don’t what is), but she does come in a sloth costume, talking about how Colton likes to take things slow. I admire the women on this show who wear costumes, it’s brave. Anyway, she’s from Boston, and eventually the costume comes off when she talks to Colton at the cocktail party, but not before she hangs from a tree branch in the yard of the mansion. Once the suit is off, Alex is actually very cute and she is a very fast talker. She named the sloth Susette. Alex seems sweet and cute and she came as a sloth and honestly I have no idea why Colton doesn’t give her a rose. But he doesn’t. BIP? Please?

Onyeka- 24 years old, an IT risk consultant (I don’t know what that is but I’m dumb about computers and it sounds important and obviously techy so she’s probably pretty smart). She’s beautiful and from Texas, and Colton has trouble pronouncing her full name, even though it’s not that hard. Anyway, she’s pretty nice, but she’s drama. She takes charge and interrupts the Usurper for time with Colton, with the iconic line, “I heard you were drowning in bitches!” Which is dope, but she also confronts the Usurper one-on-one and is a little rude, but I mean, she’s not wrong about Catherine being inconsiderate and awful, but she lives for the gossip and drama, and will be going after anybody who missteps in any way (there’s always one of these on the Bachelor- the protector against those who “aren’t here for the right reasons”- can’t wait for Onyeka to break out that classic). She’ll stay for a while. Definitely gonna have a two-on-one with Catherine around week five or six, as per usual, and she’ll come out of part one, but I don’t know her well enough to judge how far she’ll make it after that. Paradise guarantee.

Erika- 25 years old, a recruiter. She’s gorgeous, and she’s from California. Her last name is McNutt, so she gives him a bag of nuts in her entrance, which Colton loves. She has to remind him of her name later, but that’s understandable seeing as she’s one of twenty beautiful blonde women he met in the span of about an hour. I’d probably trip up a few times too. She’s one of the first people to talk to him, and brings out the real questions right away, and they talk about why he’s a virgin. She’s impressed by his wanting to keep it special and respects his decision. They have a really nice conversation, actually, and she gets a rose at the end of the night. She’s got potential to make it for a while, but I don’t know enough to tell yet. She won’t win or anything, but could be a contender for Bachelorette if she makes it far enough, or BIP.

Hannah B- 23 years old, Miss Alabama 2018. Hannah B is probably the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen in my life, and she is, obviously, from Alabama. She’s also very real and genuine and incredibly sweet. I really love Hannah B so far. She and Colton just talk a little after she steps out of the limo, and they exchange “Roll Tide’s”. She gets a little worried throughout the night because she hasn’t talked to Colton yet, and just seems to be waiting it out to talk to him, but then she takes initiative and talks to him and it goes extremely well They talk about fears and vulnerability and insecurity and make a promise to always have real and deep talks, and they do a cute little handshake about it. They seem to have a truly genuine connection, and I love her and them. Definitely a frontrunner with a lot of potential. I predict she’ll be in the top four. If she were a little older, I’d predict that she would be a top contender for the Bachelorette, but the youngest Bachelorette to date was 25, so I’m not sure they’ll go that young.

Tracy- 31 years old, a wardrobe stylist from LA. I find this career ironic, as her dress was not something I would ever advise that someone wear (it was like a sequin skirt and a cutoff wife beater tank with no bra- I just didn’t get it, especially for someone who works in fashion, but you do you, I guess). She came in a cop car and called herself the fashion police. Again, I think 31 is a little old for Colton. Anyway, she steals Colton from the Usurper to color shoes and only gets him for like a minute before she steals him right back. She gets a rose at the end of the night. I think she’ll be gone next week, they don’t have much of a connection.

Angelique- 28 years old, a marketing salesperson. They have a short and not super meaningful conversation when she gets out of the limo, but she seems nice enough. She spends a few moments of the evening simply stating things that are obvious and going on on camera in interviews. We don’t hear her conversation with Colton, so it couldn’t have been that great. She’ll probably last another week or two.

Devin- 23 years old, a broadcast journalist. She and Colton have a sweet but uneventful conversation during her entrance, and we see very little of her throughout the night, and we don’t see any further conversation between her and Colton. She does not receive a rose. She is devastated by this and cries a lot as the girls who got roses celebrate in the background. She’ll be on the women tell all and have lots of opinions despite having been there for less than 12 hours, and then we’ll never see her again. I am not broken up about it.

Revian- 24 years old, a nurse. She’s beautiful and tells Colton he’s a stud muffin (a phrase that should never be uttered out loud) in Mandarin. We see a tiny glimpse of her with Colton later but we don’t hear any of it. She does not get a rose.

Nina- 30 years old, a sales account manager. She’s blonde and beautiful and typical Bachelor gal material, but she gives no indication of being a real competitor this season. She speaks Croatian to Colton when she exits the limo and we don’t see much else from Nina. She gets a rose, but she’ll probably go home in a week, two tops.

Alex B- 29 years old, a dog rescuer. She’s pretty but looks like a little like a wax statue, just very non-emotive and seems fake personality-wise. Anyway, she says she’s sick and uses cue cards to communicate, like in Love Actually, but then she goes into the mansion and talks to the other girls (hoarsely, but she couldn’t talk to Colton for a minute?) and then Colton later. Apparently he got her a cup of tea from the producers which is super sweet, and because he’s Colton, he absolutely loves that she runs a dog rescue. This alone will take her through the competition for a few weeks, and then we’ll see.

Bri- 24 years old, a model. She’s pretty and here’s the best part- she’s actually from LA but faked an Australian accent to stand out. This is hilarious and the internet loves it and so do I. Anyway, Bri doesn’t really talk to Colton much that we see, but there’s a deleted scene where she tells him she’s not actually Australian, and he thought it was pretty funny, so I guess he likes her well enough. She gets a rose. She’ll hang around for a bit, two or three weeks would be my guess. Could definitely be an option for Paradise.

Laura- 26 years old, an accountant. Honestly, Laura is boring. I’m sure she’s lovely for like, a real person, but she wasn’t made for reality TV. The most significant thing about Laura in the whole episode is that she wears the same dress as Heather. She does not receive a rose.

Hannah G- 23 years old, a content creator. This Hannah is also from Alabama, and she’s also beautiful and great. It’s a good season for Hannah’s. Colton compliments her dress and she gives him an empty gift box, saying she got him his favorite brand of underwear (if you haven’t heard, it’s been made known that Colton prefers not to wear underwear). He loves the gift, and seems impressed by her. They connect extremely well when they talk later during the cocktail party. They talk and smile and when they both say they’re still a little nervous, Colton takes her hands and takes three deep, calming breaths like he always does with his mom, and they smile at each other like there’s some beautiful secret between them. Later in the night, he gives her the first impression rose. He says that she reminds him of home and makes him feel so comfortable and that she’s so easy to talk to. These are all Bachelor cliches, but they all mean the same thing: Hannah’s a frontrunner, right off the bat. He kisses her after giving her the rose, and says in an interview that he didn’t want to stop kissing her. They have good chemistry and she is equally as excited about him as he is about her. She’ll make it to the top four at least, but I can’t tell much beyond that now.

Annie- 23 years old, a financial associate. She’s very pretty and they talk a little about football, and we later see a small glimpse of a conversation of theirs, nothing to gawk at yet. But we’ll see where things go, because she does get a rose.

Jane- 26, a social worker. She’s beautiful and loves dogs, but it’s a little weird that she brings along a photoshopped and framed picture of hers and Colton’s dogs playing together. We don’t see much else from Jane all night, and she does not receive a rose.

Catherine- 26, a DJ, and a certified Bitch (this is not listed on the show, this is just the whole world’s opinion). A bachelor villain if I’ve ever known one. She’s from Ft. Lauderdale and she calls her dog her daughter, which I find very concerning. She looks like she’s had 8 rounds of plastic surgery in the last week, and she broke an unspoken Bachelor premiere rule: she did not wear an evening gown, but rather a very short red cocktail dress with long bell sleeves (it was actually a cute dress, but it’s supposed to be like floor length night one, everyone knows that). She literally GIVES COLTON HER DOG. Like really. For the duration of her time on the show, Colton will be taking care of her dog. She doesn’t really ask, she just says that’s his job now so like... okay. Anyway, she looks like a younger-ish version of Jennifer Coolidge, but Jennifer Coolidge is a fierce and wonderful woman and Catherine is just a self-obsessed and arrogant girl looking for attention. So, Catherine is the woman I’ve referenced before. She is the Usurper, Interrupty McStealer, You-Know-Who, whatever you want to call her. And here’s why: She steals Colton for conversations FOUR times. FOUR. Because she claims they haven’t had enough time. CATHERINE. YOU HAVE HAD MORE TIME THAN ANYONE ELSE HERE GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE AND GO AWAY. So, she keeps stealing him, and Onyeka confronts her about it and she gets defensive and judgy, and very fakely says she gets where she’s coming from. During this talk, she also utters the quote, “If you don’t have haters, you’re not doing something right.” I have so many questions. At this point, she’s stolen Colton 3 times. Moments after this conversation, she goes and steals Colton again. I can’t. She spends a lot of interview time criticizing the other women, and is 100% confident that she’s the best one there and that she’ll be getting a rose, even when there’s only one rose left and she hasn’t been called yet. Colton gives her a rose because the producers told him to (we all know this, don’t lie to yourselves), so she’ll stick around for some drama and inevitably go on a two-on-one with Onyeka, the Knight in Shining Right Reasons, and be sent home for being generally awful sometime around week 6. She’s evil. I know with every fiber of my being that she will be on Bachelor in Paradise.

Erin- 28 years old, her job is listed as Cinderella. She’s not like an actress at Disney World, she just comes in a beautiful horse drawn carriage and wears a stunning light blue dress. Erin is beautiful, and says she is looking for her Prince Charming, and leaves behind a shoe with Colton. It’s really cute, and we see them talking a bit later in the night, but despite her cute Disney references and the fact that I actually really like her, Erin does not receive a rose. Maybe I’ll see her again in paradise, but there’s only so much room on that Mexican beach.

Well, that’s all 30 women and all of my 30 opinions. Thanks to the zero people that will read this for letting me judge reality TV stars. To be clear: All these women are people with dignity and deserve to be treated with respect, this judgment is only a matter of who is good for Colton and who is good for TV. Except Catherine. She’s a straight-up bitch. Some people just aren’t nice, and she’s one of them. At least she loves her dog.

Colton, choose well. I hope it’s Cassie, but as of now, I’d be okay with either of the Hannah’s as well. Maybe I’m wrong about all this but I am obsessed with this show (can’t you tell) and it does have a bit of a pattern.

‘Ignoring Every Red Flag:’ The Bachelor Ep. 7 recap

On this episode of The Bachelor, Colton gets to the bottom of who “isn’t ready” to marry him so he can send this individual home once and for all.

Unless it’s a girl he really likes. In that case, he’ll keep her around.

So the girls conclude their magical tour of Asia and arrive in Colorado, which is still a pretty good place to be.

Colton met up with Denver local Ben Higgins to get Bachelor advice even though Ben’s relationship with Lauren B. failed and he was a really boring lead. I get that Ben is the only Bachelor in like 7 years who isn’t hated and or in prison, but maybe (and I can’t believe I’m saying this) we should bring Sean Lowe back since he’s also a “virgin” Bachelor and actually was the only successful Bachelor. But what do I know.

1-on-1 With Tayshia

Colton gave the second 1-on-1 of the season to Tayshia, which basically guaranteed that she’s going to hometowns. She met Colton’s 14-year-old dog Sniper and got a tour around Denver.

Reasons why Tayshia got this date:

Colton really likes her— 50 percent

She will snitch on the other girls— 50 percent

“I believe Cassie and Caelynn aren’t genuine. They’re already talking about being the next Bachelorette. And they also said they wouldn’t be ready to get engaged at the end of this. They’re wondering what parties they’re going to get invited to.”

Colton said: “That sucks, I’m not going to lie,” yet continued to not heed her warnings.

Tayshia got the rose and will have the chance to show Colton her hometown, where he will get to meet her “overprotective” father.

1-on-1 With Caelynn

My favorite part about Caelynn getting this date is that other girls were happy for her, yet were still upset and crying that it wasn’t them going on the date. I just love that dynamic.

Colton took Caelynn snowboarding. But the main course of this date was seeing Caelynn’s reaction to Tayshia’s claims.

Deny, deny, deny, curse, deflect blame, deny, deny, deny, feign innocence.

^That right there was Caelynn’s response to Colton telling her that he found out she wasn’t genuine.

Here are some memorable quotes from Miss USA first runner up:

“I feel like my future was just ripped away from me because there’s an insecure 28-year-old girl running around the house.”

“I’m the only one that’s falling in love in Colton, so f* her.”

“Dude, I better get a f*ing rose or I will call that stupid b*tch out.”

Whew. The real Caelynn suddenly jumped out. And it’s just as I suspected: Caelynn is a MEAN GIRL.

After their dinner portion of the date, Colton and Caelynn went to the Red Rocks amphitheater and got a private Brett Young concert. That’s a pretty incredible way to end a date. Much better than Tayshia’s date of cooking salmon and broccoli.

Caelynn still got a rose because she has some charm to her, not gonna lie. It’s almost like she’s as manipulative as Hannah B. claimed.

Oh, and speaking of Hannah B., she got the next date.

1-on-1 With Hannah B.

Remember Hannah B.’s last 1-on-1 date with Colton? It was basically 10 years ago. Feel old yet?

I know there are some people who dislike Hannah B., but I’m not one of them. I think she’s the most beautiful girl on the show. She’s bubbly, spunky and has a great body, Plus she has an adorable southern accent. But I digress.

Hannah gets to meet Colton’s family. And I suddenly realize that Colton’s dad is low-key hot. I don’t know how to feel.

This interaction made me chuckle:

Colton’s mom: “How does Colton feel about you?”

Hannah: “I’d love to know.”

Well, apparently Colton doesn’t like Hannah B. that much because he sent her home after realizing he was thinking about other girls while on the date with her.

Hannah, in a killer pink dress, said she knows her worth, and that she deserves a guy who will love her.

“I will not allow myself to not be chosen every single day, and I will wait until whenever that is.”

Girl, preach.

3-on-1 with Heather, Kirpa, Hannah G. and Cassie

Technically it was more of a 2-on-1 between Cassie and Kirpa because we barely saw Hannah G and Heather peaced out early on a locomotive.

I can’t wait for her to make out with five guys in Bachelor in Paradise.

While Kirpa may have a monotone voice comparable to Ben Stein, she was still a pretty authoritative member of the “wrong reasons” police. She made some decent points against Cassie, who got pretty pissed about it.

Eventually, Colton (silently) gave Hannah G. a rose, and then Kirpa was sent home. Just like every stupid idiot in love, Colton ignored all the red flags and gave Cassie another chance.

You know what? If he gets screwed over at the end of this (not literally, obviously, since he’s a virgin), it’s what he deserves.

Striders 1.1

“Through the mist, a tall creature emerged. Milli and Hardva, the fighters we had brought, readied their weapons, wondering if it was a bugbear, a minotaur, or – worst case scenario–a goliath. However, we all became awestruck as a Strider emerged from the mist. They carried a large makeshift longbow, and had a massive glaive slung across their back. They looked us over, and then glanced up, behind us. They put a finger to their lips, and quickly fired an arrow. We turned to see a dead dire wolf, and when we looked back at our savior, they were gone.” – an account from Mapmaker Acon Relewyn

Tall, Dark, and Handsome

Striders, no matter which subrace, are always tall (anywhere from 8 – 10 feet in height) they also can weigh up to 450 pounds. Dispite their massive size, they are generally considered beautiful, though their legs, with long feet and heels that never touch the ground, similar to a satyr’s leg configuration, or the average werewolf, can be off-putting. Their skin is often dark, the lightest being a dark crème color, and the darkest being a deep brown. Their hair is light from birth, and often in loose curls. Interestingly enough, these people have no biological sex; rather each can functionally provide both sets of genetic material, and any can harbor a set of children until they are born.

People of the Wilds

Striders as a whole are most at home outside of towns. Even if those that have more interactive vocations, such as priests or magic users, will set up shop outside of town, far enough that visitors won’t come calling often, close enough that they aren’t completely isolated.

Even as this is the case, most striders live in nomadic tribes. These tribes usually have an undercurrent of a certain profession, so a wandering group of hunters, physical laborers that move from town to town, and the occasional roving band of barbarians are all common for tribes of striders. When they expect to go into crowded places, they tend to cover as much of themselves as possible in an attempt to not stand out too much.

Therefore, many races regard Striders with curious hesitation. To many, they are the ones that are covered in cloth, and large groups of them might be coming to town to help, or to destroy and steal. However, hold a conversation with one, and nine times out of ten, and you will find yourself impressed.

They get along particularly well with humans, as humans seem to consider them as ageless half-deities. Elves, however, think that they are simply overgrown elves, and dwarves find them a little stuffy, but easy to get along with. To sum it up, though they don’t have a natural inclination towards it, most Striders are socially satisfactory. However, they prefer the solitude and quiet that being with their own race brings.

Racial Names

Racial names are usually one of three things: an adult elf name of either gender, or names of plants, animals, and concepts, or otherwise names with vowels in between each consonant. Some of the more popular names are listed below:

Adran, Adrie, Angelstone, Alura, Arafa, Batwhip, Bere, Biki, Birel, Bisonfeild, Caelynn, Carric, Catfire, Detene, Dogwater, Drusilia, Durul, Gafara, Galinndan, Garcloak, Hadarai, Heian, Hecete, Leopardcloth, Lia, Lili, Mergrass, Meriele, Mialee, Snakeash, Thia, Thornblossom, Tukun, Varis, Xanaphia, Wolfblood

Strider Traits:

Ability Score Increase: Your strength score goes up by 2 points.

Age: There are no known instances of Striders dying naturally, however, the oldest was 1,200 years old, and appeared as a late middle aged human. By that, we can extrapolate that they can live for approximately 1,680 years.

Alignment: Though it may seem counter to your wandering nature, you tend to be lawful, particularly within their own tribes. Though your intertribal rules sometimes conflict with the laws of the land, they adapt well. They have no particular propensity for good or evil.

Size: You range from 8 to 10 feet and are slender. You are medium.

Speed: Your base walking speed is 35 feet.

Frame of Stone: You have advantage on constitution saving throws against cold and poison.

Built for the Wild: You are considered large when you carry, lift, push, or drag.

Languages: You can understand common, and Strider, which uses the Dwarvern alphabet. Striders can read the Dwarvern script, but cannot speak it. Simmilarly, they can speak Elvish, but not read it. This is because they have taken the pronunciation from Elvish, and applied the Dwarvern alphabet to it.

Subrace: There are two subraces of Striders, Royal Striders, and Regal Striders. Choose one of these two races.

Royal Striders

As a Royal Strider, you are more in tune with the magical world around you. A clan of Royal Striders generally is accompanied by some kind of music, and can often be heard playing shawms, drums, and digeridoos from a distance, echoing through the plains they reside and travel in. Because they usually live in fields and plains, they are good at hiding and hunting without cover. They also tend to be good negotiators. Not only will they end up with a good deal, but both parties in any trade they make will walk away happy.

Ability Score Increase: Your wisdom score increases by 1.

Friendly Negotiators: You get proficiency in any persuasion check made to buy or sell something.

Hunters by the Moon: At night, you can use your wisdom modifier instead of your dexterity modifier for stealth rolls.

Regal Striders

Regal Striders generally stay in their own territory and keep to themselves, living in the mountains and forests with colder weather. They’re built for colder climates and eating whatever they can find. Unlike their royal counterparts, they have short, opaque facial hair. They are much more naturally gifted in the art of hunting and tracking. Similar to the dwarves they share the mountains with, they are exceptional at finding the value and history of metals and magical items.

Ability Score Increase: Your constitution score increases by 1.

Natural Hunter: You can use a Hunting Trap or a Tinderbox as a bonus action, and setting up a tent takes half the normal time.

Familiar Topics: You get proficiency on any intelligence check that is based on appraising an item, or finding out what material it is made of, so long as it isn’t magical.

WARNING: The following post contains spoilers.

The John Paul Jones–Tayshia Adams–Derek Peth love triangle came to an end this week in a surprising way.

After JPJ and Derek faced off at Krystal Nielson and Chris Randone’s wedding during last week’s Bachelor in Paradise, the Betchlor podcast host recounted the conversation to Haley Ferguson on Monday night’s episode. It came as a shock to Haley — who had gone on a date with JPJ after arriving in Paradise and then accepted his rose — that he had strong feelings Tayshia.

“I did not know that at all,” Haley told Derek, adding in an on-camera interview, “It’s so random this Tayshia thing… I don’t know anything about the fact that he was into Tayshia. I’m honestly pissed.”

She decided to confront JPJ after hearing secondhand about his relationship with Tayshia.

“We did hit it off. We had so much fun on the date,” he assured her. “I just can’t really do anything, I just hit it off with Tayshia first.”

“I just felt really hurt,” Haley said.

The subject came up again later while they were sitting at the bar, with JPJ admitting he “totally dropped the ball on not communicating.” He then encouraged Haley to “explore your options.”

“I never wanted to be a backup plan,” she said.

JPJ’s night only got worse when Derek asked him to talk again in the hopes that he could “seek some understanding as to where all this started.” But JPJ continued to insist that Derek wasn’t the “right guy for Tayshia.”

“You don’t get to decide that,” Derek told him. “She gets to decide that, not you.”

“She already decided that,” JPJ retorted.

The interaction aggravated Tayshia, who watched it unfold from afar.

“This is so unnecessary,” she fumed. “It’s exhausting and it’s very frustrating for me. I’ve been contemplating breaking it off with both of them because I’m done and I’m over it.”

Haley also felt exasperated with Paradise and ready to give up on love. Luckily, the next day brought two new arrivals — Matt Donald and Luke Stone from Hannah Brown‘s season of The Bachelorette — which gave Haley hope. But Matt and Luke ended up taking out Sydney Lotuaco and Kristina Schulman, respectively.

While the double date was underway, Tayshia pulled JPJ aside to talk, and he apologized.

“I woke up this morning still feeling emotional and I could tell that you felt sort of distant this morning and so I just wanted you to know where I’m at, just how seriously I take this endeavor,” he said. “I just wanted to let you know that so you know where I stand and I just admire everything about you.”

Though Tayshia was receptive to his sentiments, she stood her ground.

“You guys fighting yesterday just really rubbed me the wrong way,” she told him. JPJ continued to break down, and Tayshia said in an on-camera interview that she still felt “torn” between the two men.

But soon enough, Tayshia made some headway and asked Derek if they could talk.

“I just don’t know if I can get there,” she told him.

Derek was blindsided. “I felt the opposite, so I don’t get where the change was,” he said.

“I don’t know what it is and I don’t think it’s anything you could’ve done differently or better,” Tayshia insisted. “I think it’s just not the right timing. I don’t know.”

Tayshia also assured him that the breakup had nothing to do with JPJ. Still, Derek felt “self-loathing” and “sadness,” and believed there was no one else for him in Mexico besides Tayshia.

“I just want to find somebody,” he told the cameras. “Like, how many years do I have to wait for that to happen?”

Upon arriving back on the beach, Derek called all the castmates together to make an announcement.

“This is really hard to talk to a group of people who I’ve really grown so close to,” he began. “I thank all of you guys for the friendships that I’ve built here, but unfortunately this time for me that’s all I’ve been able to build. I’m actually going to head out now. I love so many of you in so many ways. Thank you all.”

With that, Derek departed, and Tayshia immediately second-guessed her decision to end things with him.

“I hate that I had so much power over his feelings,” she said.

Caelynn Miller-Keyes tried to comfort Tayshia by saying, “Better to go home now than to break off an engagement twice,” referring to Derek’s split from Taylor Nolan last year.

JPJ handed Tayshia some tissues to wipe her tears and simply said, “Sorry.”

But even with Derek gone, Tayshia didn’t know where that left her relationship with JPJ.

“Maybe Derek and I could’ve hit it off. I don’t know,” she said. “I’m confused and I have no idea what I’m going to do next.”

Bachelor in Paradise airs Mondays and Tuesdays (8 p.m. ET) on ABC.

‘Bachelor in Paradise’ Stars Dean and Caelynn Hit Up Tattoo Parlor

Exclusive

TMZ.com

“Bachelor in Paradise” stars Dean Unglert and Caelynn Miller-Keyes have taken their show on the road but one thing’s noticeably missing … his porn mustache!!!

Oh yeah … SPOILER ALERT!!!

We got pics of Dean and Caelynn hanging earlier this week at The Honorable Society Tattoo Parlor in WeHo. We’re told Dean wanted to add a couple more tats … including one on his calf of a man with a parachute. The other tat was going on his back, but we don’t know what image he picked.

While Dean appeared stoked about the idea … Caelynn looked less than interested. Witnesses tell us their interaction was kinda tense, but maybe she just hates his ink choices. In any event, the bigger story here is … NO ROCK on Caelynn’s hand!!! So, while the ‘BiP’ drama king and queen have kept their relationship going … there’s no engagement. Yet.

Sorry … that deserved another SPOILER ALERT.

ABC

But, let’s be honest … most ‘BiP’ fans probs only wanna know why in the world Dean got rid of his classic ‘stache. You’ll recall he arrived on the show late but quickly got everyone’s attention with his new look. Caelynn admitted on the show she wasn’t a fan of his facial hair.

Guess we know who won that battle.

At least it appears she’s — finally!!! — gotten past the whole Blake drama. True ‘BiP’ fans know all too well how she spilled the Blake tea to everyone and their mama.

Gotta say, Dean’s killing it!!! Especially for an unemployed dude who lives in a van.

Closing bell: on this day: The Bachelor, Season 23, episode 7 recap

I don’t think I need to tell you that things have gotten so real and so terrifying on The Bachelor as we approach hometowns.

Every run of every iteration of this show seems shorter than the last. They keep pumping them out so it has to be a profit engine but who knows how any of that even works in TV anymore.

Tonight we’re going to see Hometowns but last week we saw Colton’s hometown. I guess that’s the order these things always go in but the whole concept of disposable programming is that you never remember it again after you watch it. Does this mean The Bachelor is art? It absolutely does.

Related but in a non-tangible completely detached way, do any of you remember a 90s dance song that starts off with a female voice singing “da da di da da da da, da da di da da da daaa, da da di da da di da da, da di da di, da da daaaa!”? It was in commercials for dance music collections way back when but all the answers I find through google searches are wrong. It’s not “I’m blue” and it’s not “what is love?” and it’s not “rhythm of the night” or “be my lover,” either. I am at my wit’s end. Please help.

Let’s get back to the business at hand, recapping.

Episode 7 starts with some soliloquy about the difficult life of The Bachelor and he meets up with a former The Bachelor who looks like Peter Brady. They say words that sound like they know each other but the interaction reads like they might have met once before ever.

Then Colton takes his dog to the park where the remaining game show contestants get to pet his dog and Colton tells them that he only needs to see one of them right now. That’s right, starting with a one-on-one.

He takes Tayshia around Denver and they talk like people who barely know each other. Which is what they are. But also they’re supposed to be thinking of getting married in two weeks. Tayshia narcs on two game show contestants that have mentioned in passing that they’d maybe prefer becoming a game show prize to winning this particular game show. Nothing she says really sounds that serious to me, more like idle chatter between people in an insanely staged scenario with a lot of downtown time on their hands. Colton, as per usual, melts down. But not as much as he normally does.

A great moment in TV history is narrowly avoided when Tayshia sits down in chocolate while wearing white pants. Colton wipes her ass in public on a busy street but we never get a shot of the poop-looking food accident. So close. Don’t be afraid to be great, The Bachelor producers!

They cook salmon together in some apartment that has never been seen before. Maybe it’s Colton’s apartment. Nothing much happens from there and he gives Tayshia a rose. He’s going to meet her parents! They climb into bed together and Colton makes a joke about “this is where the magic doesn’t happen.” Because his character that he plays on television is a virgin.

Next up is Caelynn. She is one of the game show contestants whose personality and job description are “former beauty pageant contestant.” I think I’ve mentioned it before but the odds are that anybody who has ever been on this show trying to win the man-shaped object of their dreams has hit a pageant circuit or two before showing up on TV. Sometimes that carries over to being their character brand.

Caelynn is one of the accused. She doesn’t really put up a solid “no” when Colton asks her about the very serious accusation that she is not here for the right reasons but she does lightly threaten Tayshia. She gets a rose, too.

The number of roses is dwindling!

There is another date card, this time for Hannah B. Every season features multiples of one name and this time it’s Hannah. The other Hannah is Hannah G. and I like when they say it because it kind of sounds like Sean Hannity bought a public utility. Before Hannah B.’s date, though, we have a potential fight! Caelynn tells Tayshia their friendship is over! Earlier in the episode Caelynn and Cassie had a long conversation about how they don’t know or care about Tayshia. Tayshia just shrugs it off and that’s it. Very typical The Bachelor fight.

You might remember Hannah B. from murdering and eating Colton in last week’s recap. That earned her a one-on-one this week. The date starts off with a weird visit to Colton’s parents. Colton’s dad talks about Colton’s gut a lot. Jamie Lee Curtis would be uncomfortable with this much gut-speak. Nothing is explicitly stated to this effect but Colton’s family strikes me as MAGA die-hards. Maybe that’s just the eugenicist in me.

Hannah B. gets sent home for being a little bit loony and a lot bit boring but she is in tears in the limo. What the hell does this man want if it isn’t her? She comes across as insanely vacuous on TV but she’s got a decent point that Colton is inscrutable. Still, no idea how she lasted this long or why she thought they had any sort of chemistry with each other.

Now we get a train! And no sooner have we made it to the top of a mountain than one of the game show contestants, Heather (who is very thin and blond) comes to her senses and realizes she doesn’t to win the grand prize. She realizes this out loud. Last week or the week before she had her first kiss with Colton and already she realizes he’s not worth the trouble. Good for her. She goes back down the mountain on the train by herself. What schedule does this thing keep?

Then Colton gives a rose to Hannah G. while the other two on the group date hang around in a different place. So we’re down to a two-on-one. Cassie (one of the besmirched) and Kirpa (who hadn’t spoken on TV until this week and was previously notable for having a bandage on her face for an entire episode without ever commenting on said bandage) are vying from the top of a mountain for the attention of a nice cipher of a human being.

Kirpa and Cassie chirp at each other about right reasons and what not and it starts off like Kirpa has something worthwhile to say but by the end of the scene I’ve lost track of why anybody, even Colton, should care about anything that’s being discussed.

They go to dinner and Caelynn shows up for some reason to plead with Colton to keep Cassie around. That’s kind of weird, isn’t it? In the parlance of this show these people are dating and these two in particular are also best friends of a sort and this girl showed up to say, “Guy I am dating, please keep also dating my friend.” It works. Colton gives Cassie a rose. At least Kirpa got to be on TV a little bit.

Don’t miss tonight’s exciting Hometown’s episode where confused parents get edited to look like jerks because they don’t understand why some dude is asking for permission to propose to their daughter even though he isn’t quite sure he even likes her out of his remaining choices. That means next week will be fantasy suites with a virgin! What a country!

'Forget Cruck, I should have round house kicked that guy to the face. If I didn't think he would have kicked us out of the town for good.' Not that that would have been a bad thing in her mind. The monk didn't particularly enjoy being there. But their little ragtag group had made it bearable. Rhea had made it bearable. And now she was helping her search for her missing brother. Missing brother of nearly ten years mind you. 'Yeah I guess you're right. Even Ora grew on me in the end. It was only me and and Eren for so long I forgot what it was like to have friends. Then he was gone and I was alone and I liked it for a little while but, well you know the rest.' She turned into and angry bitch, thats the rest. 'Pfftt, all of them. And probably a few chairs too.'

"That was probably his intent. People would keep dying and providing them with food. He'd never have to pay anybody the gold and his problem would be taken care of." It was a shitty way to think of things, but Rhea had seen the worst in humanity time and time again. One shoulder lifted up in a shrug. "I dunno. It was kind of nice to have a family again. A weird one, but hey, what family is truly normal." She used her fingernail to pick at a spot on the bar top. "Yeah, of course. I mean, the undead problem was pretty well taken care of in town so it was time for me to move on anyway." Since she'd lost her crew, Rhea had kept on the move. Working hard to hone her skills and rid the lands of those evil creatures. It had certainly helped that their clues were leading them further inland for now. And there'd been some sort of unspoken spark between her and Caelynn. "How many windows do you think we'll have to replace when we get back?"
