Who is ready for Tayshia? What a contrast from Clare, these two women feel like polar opposites. I loved Tayshia's Energy tonight and can't wait to watch her journey.
We opened up on Tayshia's first night and got to watch her getting to know the guys. This definitely had a different feel to typical first nights as we didn't get to see a long parade of introductions and instead jumped straight to conversations. Honestly I kind of liked it. Most of the normal introductions are a bit too cheesy for my tastes.
Tayshia did get to meet four new guys. The new guys were the stache, the disney prince, budget eazy and then some guy I don't remember. The two that stood out the most to me were Noah aka the stache and Spencer aka the disney prince. I really enjoyed it when Spencer asked all the old guys who chased Clare off. Tayshia also liked Spencer as he ends up being the one to get the first impression rose.
Others who stood out night one were Ivan and Zac. I really thought Ivan was going to get the first rose and he's definitely a front runner in my opinion.
Next up we go back to Clare and Dale for an interview rehashing everything we already knew about Clare and Dale. Okay back to more Tayshia.
Time for some dates! We start off with a group date and this group date felt very similar to other La Quinta group dates where it felt very cheap and that production was just winging it. Today's date saw 10 guys playing splash ball. Yup 10 dudes in a pool playing basketball and pretending that's a great date idea. It was pretty bad. Thankfully from here all 10 guys ended up getting some extra time with Tayshia. A few guys stood out on the date, Eazy, Spencer and Zac. Eazy gets the date rose, while Zac really started to build a great connection with Tayshia. We also got a bit of drama on the date when a few of the guys called out Spencer for his behavior so far. The guys feel like he's a bit of a dick, all based on his initial comment about scaring off Clare. I don't think this is going to go very far but hey we need a bit of drama right?
After the date we find out that Jason has decided to head home. He still has lingering feelings for Clare and doesn't think he can get over them to give his all for Tayshia. I think this was a good decision and feel that Blake probably needs to do the same.
We end the night with Tayshia's first one on one date of the season. Her and Brendan went on a very awkward horse ride around the resort, with Chris Harrison awkwardly interrupting at various points. From there we saw them make out in a pool for a while before heading to dinner. I really felt like these two started to form a very deep connection and Brendan has to immediately be a front runner for the season. I know we haven't seen him much in the previews but hard to deny what we saw on their date.
That's it for week 5 aka Tayshia's first week. I'm very excited to watch her journey unfold!
