Stanko's Stance

Going to preface this by saying I am in a foul mood watching tonight’s episode. I am going to get very frustrated very easily. And Julia & Brandon, you are in my cross hairs.

• We have dreams being had about people. I don’t believe half the people that say they have dreams about people
• Brandon woke up with a lot of gratitude…BULLSHITTTTT (say it louder in the back)
• I think Sheridan is having cranberry juice in a wine glass for breakfast. Strong move.
• Going on dates with people who you are not partnered with
  • Entire the friend zone mindset. Take on the mantra of the best friends
  • Jamie with Ryan
  • Chris with Rudi
  • Julia and Brandon
    • PRODUCERS PLAYING MIND GAMES
    • Sheridan just immediately touching his cheek in an awkward touch
• Julia did not even wave goodbye to Sheridan as he was on the couch writing a song (probably about her)
• Rudi is not going to handle this well at all but Chris is going to be the perfect little best friend
• Rudi and Chris are treating it like play date. This is totally fine
• Jamie and Ryan and just having a spa date as friends too
• Julia and Brandon are the only ones treating this more in a romantic setting
  • It is also the only one in a dark dim lit room
  • “It is make it or break it” for Julia with Brandon date
    • Julia wants to make it so bad
  • I really do appreciate the producers doing the comparison of the song-writing between the date and Julia/Brandon and Sheridan on his lonesome
• Sheridan is really my mood haha. Brooding, pessimist, scared
• Sheridan song of “coming back” as the dates are returning to the mansion BUT naturally Brandon and Julia are not back yet
• Did we not see all of the date? Because it is PITCH black out when the “couples” return…well all but Julia and Brandon
• Let the record and tape show that Brandon leaned in first to kiss Julia
• Sheridan has 100% approval rating, and Julia has 0%
• Sheridan has a reason to be mean…also he wasn’t even being that mean
  • Sheridan wanted Julia to say the hurtful words which she should have to do
  • Julia is being a little whiny bitch. She doesn’t like not being wanted even through she is the one to do the bad thing
• I am upset that Sheridan is leaving. Whelp.
• He will be back in Bachelor Universe. I have no doubt. He is going to ride this good-will to many, many a TV appearances
• How do the other ladies sit down with Julia and listen to her intently?
• Savannah and Brandon conversation
  • Brandon putting this on Savannah with that 5% comment?!
  • This is just insane.
  • Savannah needs to walk away from this spineless playboy
  • GOD HE IS A JERK
  • “WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO FIX THIS?!”
    • Brandon. You sir are the worst.
    • “Can we talk like adults?” – Brandon. Act like an adult.
  • Savannah will not be a “second choice” scream being heard by the other girls is wonderful little “fly on a wall” drama
• Bye bye Savannah
• Brandon changes his mind more than a little toy opening toys on Christmas: “Oh that one is pretty! Oh WAIT, I like this one now! But wait…what’s in this bag?!”
• The gangs are all performing again, bigger venue and bigger audience and new judges
• TAYLOR SWIFT SONG!!! And I love Tennessee Whiske
• Brandon literally saying in front of Julia that he’d have picked Savannah if she said something different. Like, what the bloody hell.
  • Brandon is like an old school bastard, the old howty-towty English upper class bastard who gets slapped with a glove
• Natascha dropping that bomb before performing is not cool
• Celebrity judges…
  • Rachel and Bryan
  • Andy Grammer
  • Toni Braxton
• Rudi and Matt
  • Love this song. So solid start there
  • Rudi can really sing
  • This seemed like a balanced performance with both performers doing very well
  • Not sure if I like Rudi’s pink sequence pants
  • They all get rave reviews
• Jamie and Trevor
  • Jamie just is not a performer. I mean that in a bad way, she is just not as comfortable on a stage compared to the others
  • This is awkward. Everyone wants them to do well but its like…eeek
  • Jamie is nervous as all hell.
  • Toni needs to be Jamie’s life coach
• Chris and Bri
  • I am singing along to this song. I love LOVER by Taylor Swift
  • STOP CUTTING AWAY TO JAMIE AND TREVOR DURING TAYLOR SWIFT. STOP IT
  • Bri and Chris are killing it. Naturally. They are just killing it.
  • Guys. This song is so good. Like so good
  • Toni is splendid on the microphone
  • I guess they love each other. It is a little early for that still. But hey, you do you.
• Julia and Brandon
  • Surprised they are not going last
  • Julia is trying to will this performance along
  • Brandon does not sound that good
  • Chris Harrison: “Why has it been a tough week?”
    • This guy giving them a chance to save that performance
  • A karaoke performance!! That is a BURN!!!
• Natascha and Ryan
  • A throwback song. I haven’t heard this ages
  • They have great stage chemistry
  • Natascha is killing it with this song
  • They are NAILING this
  • Like my god wow that intimacy. Good lord
  • They got the best reviews of the entire night
• Julia and Natascha going after it post performances
• Jamie is on Julia’s shoulder like a younger sister trying to defend her
• Natascha spitting fire and telling the truth about Julia!
• Rose Ceremony
  • I think that Jamie and Trevor are going home because they need to keep the drama alive
  • YESSSSSS, SWEET JUSTICE I WAS WRONG
  • Bye bye Julia and Brandon
