I love Gabby’s grandfather Protect him at all costs!!

I thought the playback of Rachel’s dad tapping Clayton’s shoulder to let him know he approved of him was interesting and something that we haven’t really seen done before. I also thought that Rachel’s hometown had the most screen time comparing all 4 of them.

I do love both Gabby and Susie!

Watching this entire episode -- did Clayton think that he was on a Sister Wives type of show? How does he expect it to end well with some of his words and actions?

I didn't catch this episode last night, and will have to see it later in the week. But based on previous episodes, I'm curious as to how he can be so confused when he's shown a clear preference for Rachel for a number of weeks now. Unless, the editing has been way off, but I don't think so.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] they start the epi with JP talking to Clayton and Clayton saying something like he’s finally willing to let his walls down and fall in love and that he’s falling for the women.

And I did see real feelings between him and Susie and a bit of a hold back from Tachel (just a little) which made me think that he’s realizing he also likes Susie a lot.

I don’t think he knows the difference between being in love and having love for someone. The fantasy dates for sure complicate it more…not that it had to (keep your pants on Clayton).
He was in way over his head as the lead. Hoping that we eventually get a love story out of this mess, but who knows?

I thought what her dad said was very foreshadowing - he totally trusts Susie to make good decisions and if she senses something is not right, she will back away ( paraphrasing). I felt this was left in as perhaps Susie does self-eliminate. I loved Susie's family - they treat her as an adult, whereas Rachel's family is not as generous.

I thought so too but felt it was editing, perhaps not reflective of the natural connection between them. If what I said above is true, that could explain the editing.

This explained everything to me about Gabby and why she is not my favorite. Not to diminish her charity work and her real work as an ICU nurse.
