Well I'll bet some of this has already been said, but what the heck, eh?

I actually enjoyed ep 2. The pace was quick and the use of a scavenger hunt and the globetrotters was creative. It's true this season is different and sets the bar higher. I actually did not feel like I was watching TB'ette!
A lot more humour this time around. Michael thinking he was getting the rose. Mike and his speedo. Reid and his ready toothbrush-I am sure that was a planned joke-it's something I would do!
I like everyone had some notions about the lads that were checked after seeing them in action. (Well those that we actually saw!) I found Kip well,underwhelming. Nice eyes though. Got really positive vibes with Jesse, Ed, Michael. I'm not surprised Jesse does well. We now know Michael said the
"I'd put a ring on the her finger' line!
I like Mike. Jake is no doubt the southern charmer with the big heart. He is such a romantic! When he kissed her hand while dancing and said he forgot MB was on stage, I had butterflies! (I got the impression MB was just there to do the gig & get out-did she get the worst edit of all?)
David / Juan conflict no surprise-metrosexuals always bring out the worst in testosterone-laden alpha males. (I would prefer someone notice the colour of my eyes than tell me I look smokin' hot-but I digress!

Wes, well what can I say that has not already been said-great actor! I loved Jilly's response of "So there's been a lot of girls in between."

I will bet you could have heard a pin drop when Chris said Wes was safe from elimination.
Now, I have a theory about him...On this board we were told there was someone who "knew someone" on the show who w
as just not into Jilly. And they 'knew' she fell for him. Also mentioned this contestant would have the 'power' to get a date based on his interests-like two-stepping. Does it sound like Wes to you all? So...Could it be this poster was the
rumoured girlfriend or friend of hers, posting on this board? Makes you think, doesn't it? Has she been here of late? mmmmmmm.
I am curious as to why she let Julien go so quickly. Anyone have any ideas?
And then there's REID. When she approached him, she fit in perfectly with him and rubbed his back. A telling gesture as important as her wanting to make out with Kip! It's a very good sign. And about that toothbrush. It was likely a pre-planned joke. Cute no harm done. And it's it's easier to tote than an apple!

Can't wait to see more of them together. Which will be later than sooner. And I think it's worth the wait. Whoever B3 is, he is actually b2 because Kip has to be the ringer bachelor for next season.
