It’s no secret that this season hasn’t been like any other (I know, I sound just like Chris Harrison). It’s been filled with drama yet also dry, which doesn’t make any sense. I was all onboard for Peter before the season started, but now I’m questioning why we didn’t choose Tyler or Mike, the real bachelors here. 

 

After last week’s episode, I’m honestly clueless as to what kind of woman he wants and what he’s looking for. I have to say that Kelley didn’t make a great look for herself with some of the things she said about the other girls, but I have no doubt that the producers didn’t help her either. Really, the only true winner he has left is Madison, which I think everyone can agree with. 

 

Victoria F. keeps me guessing because I feel like there’s just something about her I’m missing. He keeps her around for that reason; he just can’t figure her out and I don’t think any of us can either. She refuses to make eye contact with him, is always crying about something and can’t figure out how she even feels. I will say it wasn’t fair to her that she had to deal with the whole Chase Rice situation, and it was sweet of Peter to give her the other date too, but how she acted that night should have been the end of it. 

 

I haven’t liked Kelsey from the start honestly. She was so rude about the whole champagne drama with Hannah Ann, who I really don’t think had any idea it was Kelsey’s champagne. I just get some fake vibes from her, and I don’t see what Peter sees in her. She got ripped apart with the whole alcohol and pills situation, and she didn’t deserve that, but I still don’t think that 1) she’s ready for something serious, and 2) that her and Peter would ever work. 

 

Ahhhh yes, Hannah Ann. On night one, I really did like her and I still do, but like Victoria F., there’s still something I haven’t figured out with her. Something makes me believe her when she says she’s ready for marriage, even though she is young. Either she puts on a very good innocent facade or my gut is right, but I think she will make it to the top 2. 

 

None of the other girls top Madison, and nobody can argue with me on that. Madison was my pick night one; I told my mom she would be my girl. Yet every past season I’ve said the same and my favorite always gets cut, like Tia and Raven. If Madison doesn’t win, there’s no doubt she will be the Bachelorette. But honestly, how cute would she and Peter be together? 

 

I’m so excited to see the rest of this, and have some speculation Hannah Brown will come back at the end, but we will have to wait and see. I don’t know why I’m hooked this season honestly, but I am like always.
