^^ Oh, man. SO awkward.

Oh snap, can't wait!! Haha

I like them together. Stressed or not you can see the chemistry. And then Nick walks up........

I might need to give her more credit for being thoughtful and protecting her relationship and not just thinking she's careless and made a huge mistake.

One of the reasons I thought it was a mistake was I couldn't see any rationale for her to have done it on purpose and it didn't make sense to me why she would risk angering TPTB for something that seemed to be of little benefit or perhaps even a negative. But looking back at how the tide has changed since snapchat shows at least one thing that she had to gain and I think there was even more to it than that - but still in the general category of protecting her relationship.

ITA! Perfect romantic moment interrupted by TPTB in the form of Nick. Awkward is right.

She honestly just seems careless to me. In that first Periscope she did with Jillian, there was a moment where she was like "oh, crap, can people screen-shot this" and in her second one, she accidentally gave out the address to the Bachelor mansion. At the WTA, she basically gave away the ending in an interview where she said something like "I think that Becca is too good for Chris". I think we're all overthinking her actions, when she's just someone who's...not the smartest when it comes to keeping secrets.

The Bachelor mansion is easily Google-able btw.

IMO there's a possibility that we are underthinking what TPTB could / would do.

That sounds like an interesting topic for you to elaborate on!

Yeah, I don't think it matters, but she obviously thought it was a mistake because she had a mini-freakout about it. It just shows, IMO, that she's careless and not a "master manipulator", like Ali was when she was tricking everyone about the fact that she was single.

Pretty sure Joe missed the memo. #TheBachelorette #BachelorNation #tbt #dublin

I wish we saw more of this (having fun, being silly, etc.) and less of the drama.

Me, too. :Nod:  Great photo.
