Hey you,
I thought I'd get a blog post up, even though there's only two days left until the next episode. I have these issues with my spine and I just got a job so most of this week has been spent at the doctor's and I guess I'll get more used to the business as the summer progresses.
Disclaimer: this blog post is definitely not going to be as long as the other ones. Sorry. And the format wont be a play by play, but I'll categorize what I'm talking about.

Andi getting on my nerves
Okay I see it; Andi has begun getting on my nerves a little. Not nearly as much as the rest of #BachelorNation, but there are things about her that's begun to bother me. I still have the biggest crush on her, though. In particular, I hate how she reacted towards the Nick "situation," if you can call it that. Gurl, chill out. Nothing happened. Stop pretending like he's Tierra. He's not. Nobody is saying he is other than Cody, who, let's be honest, has fewer brain cells than Joan Rivers.
#TeamNick
HOW CAN PEOPLE DISLIKE NICK. I like Nick more and more and more and I respect him so freaking much. If you want something a little more cohesive as to why Nick is so real and awesome and stuff, head over to All The Pretty Pandas, Sharleen Joynt's blog, where she goes in depth as to why Nick acts the way he does and why we should pay closer attention to the things he says and why he says them. He is great and you all suck I'm sorry.
The fact that he stole her away first even with the rose is exactly what I would have done in that situation. He's trying to get her; he likes her, and he wants to take every opportunity to have her reciprocate that. In real life, you like a girl at the bar, do you wait until 7 other guys have had a shot at talking to her? You go up and offer your name up. That's how it works. And why should he have to care about what the other guys think? He has other friends back home. He doesn't need the bromance of these guys that's going after his girl.
Josh and why I hate him
There's a huge difference between the possessiveness of Nick and the possessiveness of Josh. Nick wants to spend time with Andi; Josh doesn't want Andi to spend time with the other guys. Herein lies a magnanimous defect of our society and how it works--- Josh, because he likes Andi, believes he has some sort of control or power over her, which is not and SHOULD not be the case. It's okay to tell her that it makes you uncomfortable seeing her with other guys. It is not okay to tell her that she shouldn't be talking to the other guys so much. You don't control her. I shall elaborate a little more on this as next episode airs.
The other thing about the lie detector test: I totally get it, it is so uncomfortable to sit through that. BUT, Josh says something along the lines of "you can't do that to your partner of 30 years." If your partner of 30 years has any reason to believe that you're hiding something, damn right they have the right to put you through a lie detector test. If it is obsessive and something you must sit through every year, that's different. But, is it not your responsibility to try to dispel your partner's trust issues at least once or twice? Andi is completely justified in wondering whether Josh actually has something worth hiding.
Cody
I hate him. I still hate the shit out of him. Bachelor Nation turned on him. Not me. Sorry. Just, the way he acted towards Nick is so off putting for me. Do you guys see what I'm "filling" right now? Seriously though, I reall "fill" very negatively about Cody. Almost to the extremes of how positively I "fill" about Andi. Honestly. Like, my "fillings" about this situation is real. It's real and I'll keep elaborating on that even if you're crying reading my blog post right now. And while I'm at it, I'll also read you a letter I wrote. It's about my "fillings" for Cody. They're negative.
The dread you felt reading that bit, is the dread I felt watching Cody's one on one. WHY DID HE GET A ONE ON ONE? I sent this text to my friend Serena while live tweeting the show---- "Andi is Oprah. 'you get a one on one' 'you get a one on one' 'everyone gets a one on one'." I'm so glad she didn't give him and his open-heart-surgery-ready V-neck a rose. So glad.
Some other thoughts
Things definitely happen to me when I see Andi in a black dress. And I express those feelings. And another text from Serena: "YOU GET STRAIGHTER EVERY TIME WE WATCH THIS SHOW" to my text that said "ANDI IN A BLACK DRESS HOLY FUCK." I actually "fill" very excited when that comes up on my screen.
Also I'm really happy that Dylan got one of the roses. Out of the the six guys, I like 3- Nick, Dylan and Brian. I wouldn't mind either of those being the next Bachelor. Marcus would be really boring as the Bachelor, but he's okay in general. Josh, who most likely will win, sucks ass and I have completely turned on him and they will not last and she shouldn't pick him. Chris is meh. Whatever.
JJ went home, and I guess we all knew that was coming at some point, right? He was a shit stirrer as I've said before and so I'm happy he's gone. Josh didn't deserve that rose.
Until next time,
I'm Wahid,
and you all suck for hating on Nick.
