The Bachelor/Bachelorette franchise isn’t something people who look like me generally watch. I never even cared to watch the show until Ashley’s season and I believe it was because of a local radio personality reporting on it in her daily celebrity news reports.

Now, I’m pretty invested in both series and I haven’t missed as season yet. Watching this season (Nick Vaill’s season) we saw the most diverse cast in history and we also got our first African American bachelorette from the show. Watching this season, I had a blast (as always) live tweeting with other fellow fans of the show. But I also took notes and jotted down some things we all might have been thinking

1. How can you be so excited about someone you've known for like .2 seconds?

2. Is it really fun competing for a woman with 29 other women?

3. Really? Corinne gets a rose on the group date?

4. No one likes someone who kisses and tells

5. When are we going to see the Backstreet Boys?

6. Is cheesy pasta another name for Mac and Cheese

7. The average person would never be able to afford these dates. Let's keep it real ABC

8. Corinne and animal poop? Awesome!!

9. Corinne's nanny needs a new job.

10. Flies generally follow farm animals, Corinne.

11. How do they get through these long nights w/o wanting to nap. Expect Corinne.

12. At least they feed them during these parties.

13. What if this is the first season when no one gets a ring!

14. Ever notice how small their suitcases are compared to all of the dresses they pack? Clearly that suitcase pickup is for show.

15. You're gonna pay attention to me!! Or I'll choke you. -Jasmine pretending to choke Nick

16. Is Nick sending his self home?

17. I could never go on the Bachelor. I would die if people talked about me on Twitter.
