Joey’s season started last night! Back to 2 hour shows.
I didn’t watch yet but thought I’d bring this thread back to the top.
Who is watching? I’ll check back in when I finish watching although I guess in the first episode not that much can go on???
I’ll be watching. I haven’t seen the first episode yet. I’ll watch later today, but I’m usually bored by the first one anyway.
I watched. I am on the west coast so enjoy reading this thread before watching the show. I missed reading it last night. 
For what it is worth, I also enjoy knowing the final four because it helps me see the relationships develop throughout the season.
So far, I liked it. It seemed like we got to know some of the women a little better than in the past. It also skipped over some of the hokey entrances. I didn’t keep track, but I’m assuming those that they skipped over were eliminated early.
There seem to be a lot of women who came on the show for Joey. I wonder if that is because he seems like more of an average Joe than some of the other leads. Did casting have more time after Joey was announced?
I never picked up on his eyes, but a lot of women talk about how green they are. I’m just happy that they found a stylist to help him with his hair. 
I got a kick out of the first impression rose bring sponsored by CarMax. 
Til that the Canadian flag is trademark protected and production either didn’t ask permission to use, or permission was denied. Hence, the blur.
I noticed they referenced that the rose ceremony was in the early morning and they showed that it was light outside.
In the middle of watching but is it just me or does that area where the limos drop off always appear wet - like it just rained? Jist saw them riding the go karts too and same thing - it looks shiny and wet!
Per Men’s Health:
" As HuffPost pointed out, host Chris Harrison gave the answer in a 2012 Entertainment Weekly blog post—and it’s surprisingly simple: They spray it down so it looks nice."

What I thought was funky was how many of the ‘final-ish’ women they showed in the "this season on the Bachelor’ segment - I don’t think they have historically showed so many scenes (with identifying faces) of the women who make it through to the (near) end…correct me if I’m wrong…if I had a better memory that might bum me out, but I’ll forget in a few months time LOL.

I think they often do that - MAYBE there were more last night? But also there are more women to start with. I also noted though that some of the ones they “showed” - you couldn’t tell who it was - like one with a helmet and goggles when they were on a motorbike or something. I ALSO noted during that segment that nearly all the women obviously shown had dark hair - Joey maybe not into blondes?!

I noticed most got the trend report for evening gowns for 2024. I’ve never seen so many sequins.

In general I noticed very few blondes -
Boring first episode - though I was rolling on the floor at the woman totally losing her marbles in the confessional during the rose ceremony - I do realize they all leave their jobs, spend a ton on clothing/accessories, so I try not to laugh too hard.
I already have a couple of favorites but I can’t remember their names. Nor their faces, so I probably won’t be able to pick them out next week.
It could just be editing, but I don’t care for the older sister.

I’ve done this other seasons if I’m just not feeling it. I didn’t look up the winner, just the final four.

I like the season so far, as I think he’s got a lot of great women. Glad the older sister went home and I’d be happy if the “let me change into something more comfortable” woman went home.
I like Rachel, the nurse from Hawaii.

I also like Daisy a lot…though I wonder if she is fully his type…she seems a little “innocent”
My dark horse is Lexi - she’s the one who did the painting and last week said she would also have a smile for him across the room if he needed it.
Interesting that Maria Georgas has an IMDb.
