Season 16 episode 8 of The Bachelorette had me feeling some type of way. Emotions were running high and not from any sort of tension in the house—although the episode wasn’t void of tension by any means, but we’ll get to that later.
The first one-on-one goes to Zac and I’m excited to see how this goes. He seems like a niceboy, cute but not intimidatingly so and definitely not one to start shilling out flat tummy tea after this is all over. Let’s imagine for a second that Clare was still our Bachelorette. What would these conversations look like? I have a feeling it wouldn’t be great. I have a feeling she’s too immature to not have been scared off by a story like Zac’s. Tayshia is truly the perfect Bachelorette for these men. She’s calm and collected, she’s had some major life experiences too and her head doesn’t live in the clouds the way Clare’s does—hello engaged after 2 dates.
My personal favorite was Brendan turning his self-portrait frame sideways to make room for Tayshia. Creative and sweet. Tayshia senses the tension between Noah and Bennett and calls them out. I feel bad for Noah, he didn’t really *do* anything, Bennett just likes to pick on him and Noah sticks up for himself in a less-than-mature way. We’ll see how this goes.
