Bachelor Babbels

Yesss, here we are again. I only found out this week that there is also a Belgian Bachelor and that it is also on Videoland, so I had to catch up a bit. And I must honestly say: that Belgian version is quite a lot juicier, you know. But no worries, I won't let Thomas go that easily, because it gets more promising every week, although the dates could be a bit more romantic and the cocktail parties could maybe have a bit less tug-of-war over Thomas. Oh well, what does it actually matter? Just really looking forward to this.

1. Let's just make a drinking game out of this weekend: a shot when it’s about the beauty pageants, take a moment, a shot when it’s about just being yourself or when Romy is about to float and… A shot when Thomas gets hijacked during the cocktail party. Yes, I know: this is going to be a kamikaze drinking game.

2. Funny that the losing team mainly has its favorites, I think.

3. Romy intends to show herself a bit more, while it would actually work better if she did that just a little less; I think the chance of getting a rose would actually increase.

4. SHOT. Yes, there are almost several of these, right? Romy was talking for quite a while and I count that as floating. Let’s go.

5. ‘Do you know anything about stars?’ ‘Well, I’m a big YouTube star…’ And Isabelle laughs. Thomas, marry her.

6. SHOT. Yes, Lysette is happy that she can have her moment with Thomas.

7. But it must be said: I find Lysette a lot more relaxed one-on-one with Thomas. During the last two episodes, I got a bit restless from her.

8. Oh, these conversations between the girls come across as so insincere. Really, production, this is so transparent. Even though we do enjoy this gossip behind everyone’s back, let’s be clear about that.

9. Yes, sorry guys, but really: SHOT. Rick literally asks if Thomas can be himself. Counts. Are we already drunk? I must have missed a few.

10. Personally, I really love pub quizzes and I find it super attractive when someone knows a lot. This would really bring out my worst, most competitive side.

11. Yes Jesus, Romy, you’re not making it easy for us. Even at the pub quiz: SHOT. It was about floating again.

12. I think I’ll take my drinking game back. It’s not responsible. Except if Linde breaks a rule, because I do want her to stay in it.

13. ‘I’ve kind of wasted my chances, so… I think I had to rely on my looks.’ HAHA. Please let this girl stay in, Thomas. We like her.

14. ‘I’m still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah, haaa-haaa.’ Why do I have the feeling that Romy is singing this mainly for all the viewers at home who really weren’t waiting for this?

15. But, not to put too fine a point on it: there still hasn’t been a kiss.

16. This cliffhanger, hold on a second. Is our girl Linde going to be the first one to manage to snag him for a real kiss? Loooove it.
