I thought it looked like Cassie.

Amethyst wrote:My favorite cast member of this episode was Elyse. I liked everything about her. She is a wonderful comedienne with great timing. She has life experience and the wisdom that goes along with it. When she was talking with Colton, I was really torn. I could see that a part of him wanted to go there.  I wanted to shake him and say, "Colton, this woman would be really great for you. She could teach you something." But at the same time, I knew that was not the direction he wanted to go. More realistically, I could see her with someone like Jason. I hope that she goes to Paradise.

She is too mature for Colton (note her excusing herself). I also think she deserves better than Becca's leftovers. We'll see what we get with the male contestants for the "ette. If picking a female lead (the top 4 except Tayshia), then 31, would be 32 maybe is unappealing. She deserves better than that AND BIP, except if 'ette.

Demi is working hard for her keep. She's trying to be outrageous in the same vein as Corinne, but Corinne does it better. I'm wondering if she was a producer pick for the rose, or if Colton was genuinely amused/intrigued by her. I suspect the former. Memo to Colton: If you kiss a woman and she says, "You're cute" in return, the kiss did not go well.

Sources have mentioned Demi was worried how she would be portrayed. She might be a producer pick, but is doesn't mean she doesn't develop feelings or is different from other contestants, just vocal and naive.

Hannah B. -- I remember turning off to her as soon as I saw her intro video in the first episode, but I couldn't quite put a finger on why. The "why" became apparent on the day portion of her date -- that she puts up a massive façade that she doesn't want to crack. Kudos to Colton for getting her to unbend somewhat as the day progressed. I ended up feeling sorry for her as I think she did genuinely like Colton, but was too frightened and intimidated to be entirely natural around him.

i hated her pageant put on during intro and first night. Her date was Colton was awkward, but left in there for a reason. Probably to fit the storyline of pageant girl vs g and Hannah B is falling apart.

Despite that, it looked like they recovered and had a good time. Of course, editing means everything.

I found Courtney very likable in this episode. Cassie continues to impress. She comes across as warm, sympathetic, and supportive. She doesn't seem to feel that lifting others up diminishes her or her chances in any way. That's a very attractive quality.

i think i got Courtney mixed up with Katie and feel awful. Feel free to let me know what i missed with both.
