The Breakdown

PSBPopCulture.com Team Member, JD Davis, joined me for this one as Mac performed for right at an hour blending old favorites with the 11 tracks off of his latest album. His energy was good on opening night setting the place on fire. Miller drew just over 2,500 fans on a Monday night nearly filling the Tabernacle to it’s 3,500 person capacity.

Thanks to an inside connect, I had a chance to catch up with Future after the show. He’s killing the game right now on the stage with the hits and is a leader in the fashion / jewelry game as well. We chopped it up, talked about what’s next and of course, snapped a pic for the Gram.

I have a feeling that this season’s wardrobe budget department got a major increase. For one, JoJo’s hair extensions are flawless. The rest of the budget went straight to her wardrobe for some amazing fashion for a pretty penny. But I guess a flawless wardrobe is the reward The Bachelorette gets for having to hang out with these guys all season. Kidding, some of them aren’t that bad but some of them, okay just Chad, is really that bad. The theme of this episode “everyone hates Chad.” The Chad story line is very familiar to Olivia last season, although the producers didn’t waste any time making us like Chad on episode one. Before I go on my Chad rant, let me spend a few seconds recapping the other dates this week.

First up, a group date with: Luke, Grant, Will, Evan, Daniel, Vinny, Ali, James F, Wells, and Robby. The group of guys attempt to compete as real firefighters to save JoJo from a burning building. I think the lame joke count about the date being “hot” or trying to light JoJo’s fire was up to seven but I stopped counting. The worst joke was of course made by Daniel (you know the one that got naked night one) and it involved him referring to his “hose” in a joke I don’t feel comfortable repeating so you’ll have to watch the episode for yourself. Wells the radio DJ who weighs 95 lbs soaking wet (he was literally soaking wet from almost dying all day) couldn’t handle the heat. Plot twist, Grant the professional firefighter wins the competition. Despite all of Grant’s hard work, Wells gets the worst kind of rose, a sympathy rose from JoJo. The most exciting part of this date was JoJo’s all white two-piece outfit.

Back at the mansion we have Chad vs. the other guys. Chad literally has a suitcase full of protein around his waste doing pull ups off the Bachelor mansion. I find it very hard to believe the mansion doesn’t have a gym but then again I have a feeling Chad works out like this often. The rest of the dudes are forming an 8 man boy band writing songs about JoJo. As much as America doesn’t want to admit it, Chad had a right to boycott this boy band.

Next up Derek, aka Jim Halpert, have the first one on one date. This date was a total snooze fest and they both spent the majority of the time talking about their exes; JoJo’s ex from 5 minutues ago, and Derek’s that still apparently makes him cry. They both choose to go on a date to dress down but unfortunately dressing down makes Derek look even more like Jim from the office….and not in a good way.

Back to Chad. Chad has decided to make Daniel his protégé and instructs him to meet him at the pool wearing a matching black tank top (I’m assuming that’s what happened). Chad gives Daniel some dating advice and tells him to be a real jerk to girls because those guys are really the nice guys (I don’t know what that means either). Chad decides to break it down to use the only way he knows how, a protein shake reference. “if you were making a protein shake of the group of dudes here, half of that dude protein shake would you know have like zero chance.” So it’s much more clear what Chad is talking about now.

The second group date is: Jordan, Christian, Nick, James Taylor, Alex, and Chad. This date the guys compete at ESPN for two talk show hosts to power rank from best to worst. Chad basically refuses to participate because he can’t prove his love for someone he doesn’t love yet. Again, America can’t disagree with Chad and they hate it. Enough about Chad on this date, let’s talk about how it only took Jordan until episode two to name drop his brother Aaron Rodgers. Like his football career, Jordan doesn’t even make the top of the leaderboard for the power rankings. Chad’s quote of the night “The best thing about Jordan is his brother. The worst thing about Jordan is, he’s not his brother.” AGAIN how can you disagree with this America?!

This date begins the Alex vs. Chad feud. My best comparison for this is if The Rock and Kevin Hart hated each other. James Taylor gets the rose because he wrote some sappy poem, bold move for week two but good for you James Taylor.

Rose ceremony time means more Chad hating. Chad speaks the truth again because he refers to the battle as Chad vs. The Care Bears and I instantly start loving Chad. I love a good short joke and Alex literally had to jump up in a chair so Chad for the win again. While Chad is stuffing his face with the meat platter the guys of the boy band are so bored all they have to talk about is Chad. Well guys if y’all were as entertaining as Chad the viewers would have something else to talk about too. Chad survives the rose ceremony, but unfortunately so does little Alex. Chad tells America the truth one last time for the night “Alex got a rose because JoJo doesn’t want America to think she hates short guys.”

The hipster, the bachelor super fan, and some guy named Will go home but we all saw that coming.

Next week we get a double dose of Chad, back to back episodes on Monday and Tuesday night!

The first 20 minutes of the episode recap on how Ben is a jerk and is essentially a snooze fest because we already knew that. I was starting to wonder why the first 20 minutes were so boring but then Des showed up and she brought the boring with her. However, the guys brought the entertainment with their ridiculous entrances and really brought it after a few drinks. Here’s a list of the remaining guys after the rose ceremony listed from the front runners to the losers of the bunch.

Is being Canadian an occupation @kaitlynbristowe? Cause Daniel thinks so. #TheBachelorette

— Taylor Johnson (@KTaylorPSB) May 24, 2016

Chase, 27: Chase flew under the radar on the first night but I think he’s going to go pretty far this season. The medical sales rep seems like a super sweet nice guy, so hopefully JoJo can let go of some of the bad boys that every girl is attracted to and keep around a nice guy that actually has a job.

Jordan, 27: Lucky for Jordan I don’t know anything about football but apparently he’s the crappier of his brother, Aaron, at football. My best Bachelorette guy would say that JoJo gets a ring from Jordan but quickly returns it when she finds out he’s her version of Josh Murray from Andi’s season. Of course he got the first impression rose because we have all saw it coming. For more drama on Jordan follow his ex on Instagram who he apparently cheated on and is planning to put him on blast each week so that will be fun!

Luke, 31: Despite Luke’s creepy picture on the ABC website he isn’t half bad to look at, and JoJo absolutely agrees. The fact that he rode in on a unicorn gives him major bonus points with JoJo.

Christian, 26: His pictures online are very deceiving, the dude hits the gym. He’s 26 and takes care of his little brothers. I have a lot of faith in Christian being the first black dude to make it to the second half of the season, so don’t mess this up Christian.

Wells, 31: Wells brought out a singing quartet of the limo with him for entrance and even had them follow him around the mansion with JoJo. Wells knows that JoJo is out of his league which isn’t great for his confidence but I can appreciate the honesty.

James Taylor, 29: I would like James a little more if he didn’t go by two first names like Ricky Bobby. He’s a singer/songwriter from Texas so the assumption is always he is here to get famous.

Robby, 27: Robby lost cool points for being a former competitive swimmer. Won cool points for giving JoJo wine straight from the bottle.

Grant: Grant is king of instagram filters. Not that he isn’t attractive but I feel kind of catfished seeing him without a filter. That being said he isn’t as into himself as Chad is so that’s a positive.

Alex, 25: Alex seems sweet but unfortunately Alex has short man’s complex. Doing pushups with a girl on your back the first night looks like you’re trying to prove something, and also gives us a pass to make fun of you.

Derek, 29: Thanks to former Bachelorette contestant Tanner Tolbert for pointing out that Derek is Jim from The Office. Does Pam know you are on The Bachelorette Jim?!

James F, 34.: James is super lame.

Will, 26: Will need to work on his comedy delivery. That being said he is hilariously awkward, and really easy to make fun of. JoJo gave him the most friend zoned kiss that made America cringe.

Ali, 27: Either he has a really bad tan line or he doesn’t blend his foundation into his neck very well. Either one of them are suspect if you ask me. Also Ali looks like he just woke up from a nap in his tux. Sorry you had to get up to meet the Bachelorette Ali.

Nick B., 33: I finally figured out that Nick B was Santa the entire night. It would be one thing to dress like that for your entrance but staying dressed as Santa the entire night was a little strange.

Vinny, 28: His name is Vinny, he is from New Jersey, has a terrible haircut, and drinks too much. So really he signed up for the wrong reality show or missed the Jersey Shore casting call.

Brandon, 28: Brandon is a hipster who doesn’t watch TV and I’m going to also assume he drives a Prius and doesn’t eat gluten.

Evan, 33: So Evan went from being a Pastor to an Erectile Dysfunction Specialist. I don’t even want to know what the connection is in between the two jobs. Not only does he have a really creepy job, but he has a really creepy mustache to go along with it.

James S.: James S. is me. Bachelor superfan who even creates Bachelor brackets. The only problem here is James S. is a dude.

Chad, 28: Chad is the true definition of a Chad. A total jerk that hits the gym twice a day and talks about the gym when he’s not there. That being said his snarky comments are amazing. Him and Lace from Ben’s season would seriously be perfect for each other. They both are a total mess, but their sarcastic comments and obsession with eye contact make for a great foundation for a relationship.

Daniel, 31: Where do I begin with Daniel? One, his occupation is “Canadian.” According to Canadian Bachelorette Kaitlyn Bristowe that doesn’t pay the bills. He also has an odd obsession with the viral video “Damn Daniel” of two 15 year olds which is cringe worthy, you’re 31 dude. Lastly, he drank so much that he ended up in his underwear. All this and he still managed to stay another night which is proof that the Bachelorette producers have a lot of say in who stays and who goes.

Coley, Jonathan, Jake, Sal, Peter, and Nick S. all went home, but no one cares because total they got 5 minutes of air time. The best part of the end of this episode was when Jake Pavelka (former Bachelor) showed up and made us all think he wanted to join the season to find love with JoJo. Turns out Jake just showed up to give JoJo advice, because his season and choosing Vienna went so well.

Stay tuned for next week because I can’t wait to see them embarrass themselves more, but mainly Chad. I can’t wait for Chad to embarrass himself more.
