Yes, Bennett is just so awful. He's condescending and then passive aggressive about it. I'd take an immature noah over a bennett any day. Noah can grow up. If Bennett is like this at his age, he's a lost cause. I hope the producers encouraged her to bring him back "for good tv". Not that she's really torn.

100% agree, Brenda! (TV Clubhouse really needs a "like" button!!!)

At least she didn't keep Bennett at the Rose ceremony, so he was brought back for more drama, which continued at the Men Tell All.

Anyone watching the hometown dates tonight? Ben’s friend Antonia looks familiar. I’m thinking she was on Top Chef years ago. Thoughts?

She looked familiar, but I had no idea.
He had no idea he was in love until a third party told him?

Thanks! I knew someone here would know. Tayshia nailed it when she said he showed no emotion when she let him go. He’s going to kick himself for not saying anything.
Do you think she ends up with one of the remaining 3?

Good point Seamonkey. I was thinking long term. My friend said she just got a vibe that Tayshia doesn’t end up with anyone after Tuesday’s show.

Brenden looked sick, as he was being shown the engagement rings.
Has anybody else gone that far and then backed out?
It will be interesting to see how they tie this whole thing up.

Dogdoc, this was the first time anyone met with Neil Lane during a date. Usually only the guys who will be at the final rose would meet alone and pick a ring.
So this was very odd to meet with Neil with Tayshia before she narrowed down the field.
Sad to see Ivan leave but he seemed to agree with her that they had religious differences.
Not happy that Ben was brought back but at least he was eliminated.
Things can always change, as we know, after the final rose.

I feel sorry for Tayshia and all the bachelors who were involved in this season. Their dates were terrible due to covid restrictions. Just look at the difference at what the next bachelor is doing in the previews. You can tell restrictions were at a different. level for his filming.
Then add in the fact that Tayshia's time with the guys was cut way back due to the Claire fiasco and this season simply shouldn't have happened. I wish Tayshia and all the guys well. Chris Harrison and producers - not so much.

That Neal Lane date was horrifying! Such a boring date and just pushed Brendan over the edge. Terrible.
I'm glad she cut Ben again. I got tired of hearing him say how SHE made him feel. Becuase I could just see down the road how SHE made him mad, etc. He seems immature and closed off. They better not consider him as a future Bach.
I found Zack's proposal very real and touching. I give this couple half a chance which is more than I give most of the others. Mostly that's based on maturity. But just the lack of time to get to know each other may doom them.
As for the next Bachelor. I thought I saw that he'd "never been in love" before. I thought we were supposed to avoid those guys as they weren't ready yet. So I have little hope for this guy.
I really liked Ivan. I'm sorry to see that had religious differences, but good for her to realize that is a stopping point.

After watching Tayshia and Zac on Good Morning America I don't think they'll last more than 6 months. She already seems evasive and is planning to be bi-coastal after the holidays.
It was interesting to see that out of all those guys her final 2 were the 2 guys that seem to be the most emotionally fragile. One seemed very immature and had attempted suicide twice, and the other is a recovering drug addict.
I think Tayshia likes to be the dominant force in relationships and is attracted to men she doesn't think will challenge her. Prior to this she was with Colton who has proven to have his share of emotional health issues and with John Paul Jones, who though adorable, had the maturity of a 12 year old.

I thought Zach was kind of overbearing. I liked Brenden and Ivan of the final group. They seemed more real..... and NOT Bachelor in Paradise candidates...}

Is anybody surprised? Brace yourself for the "We've mutually decided to go our separate ways . . ." statement. Claire is so needy. I think she needs some serious therapy before she will ever be happy with anyone.

Apparently, Clare was not aware that they were breaking up. I wonder if she’s just too overwhelming and life consuming as a girlfriend. I remember dating a guy who wanted every minute of my life. I broke up with him pretty quick, as i felt suffocated.

I had one of those, too, Kooklie! I broke up with him right before going on vacation to Palm Springs with my girlfriend. As we were driving to Southern California, I kept saying, "I feel so free! I feel like I just got out of jail!!!"

According to People magazine (I am catching up, so was reading the March 8 issue, I think) Clare and Dale are back together, at least in vacation.

Went back to read, yes, one month post-split, holding hands and kissing on a beach in Florida, February 21.
So much for caregiving for her mom..

To be fair, I believe Clare's mom is in a memory care facility. I'm sure Clare advocates and takes care of business for her mom, but she doesn't need to be there every minute. And speaking as someone who's been through it, you really need your time away when you can take it. That said, I don't see a long-term future for Clare and Dale. She's just too needy and I don't think he's serious.

I agree.. That was a bit tongue in cheek, as she used her mom as one reason to leave the show early. And if mom is in memory care, Clare probably couldn't do much visiting due to COVID.
Hopefully they didn't return from Florida with COVID.
