Michelle Looks Through Ryan's Dating Notes - The Bachelorette

After Tayshia Adams and Kaitlyn Bristowe found a trove of notes about the Bachelor Franchise in Ryan's room, Michelle decides she has to see it for herself. Ryan maintains that he hadn't watched the show much, and so a friend of his compiled notes for him to study, such as phrases often used on the show, how to get a good edit, and how not to be a villain -- just so Ryan would know what to expect. But all Michelle sees is a giant red flag. From 'The Bachelorette' season 18 premiere, 'Week 1.' Watch 'The Bachelorette' Fall 2021 TUESDAYS 8/7c on ABC. Stream on Hulu.

Omg . . . i have never felt more 2nd hand embarrassment.

[@TRACEWORLD2]

Did they go through every man’s room? Or just his? This is weird.

[@lucbordage7291]

Agree. No respect for privacy here. Michelle can figure out for herself who the players are.

[@corgising5606]

That was my thought , too. How low will this show go? I thought it was an invasion of privacy and a producer-inspired event. Is Jesse going to go through the contestants’ suitcases and purses next season? Highly doubt it. Horrible!!

[@corgising5606]

@Joshxx I hope someone goes through their things next. Kaitlyn no doubt has some spare Botox packed away that could be discovered.

[@TRACEWORLD2]

Luc Bordage You got that right! All those smooth talking slicksters with all kinds of earrings on. I've never seen a crop of men like this on the show. Regarding Ryan, just seems like some type of set up that they found his playbook like that. Could they have possibly known he had it through some other source? If not, they should've shown the girls searching other rooms.

[@missree1995]

@Joshxx Yes, they went through a few other guys' rooms, but only as a ruse. So obvious this Ryan was the real plot point. LOL

[@samantahir4396]

It seems like he has no bad intentions but he just missed the biggest point of the show which is falling naturally. His notes seem like he was tryna survive like this was a survival show :(

[@StormyKid27]

Can't blame him, so many parts of this show are fake

[@CthRage8946]

It doesn't matter the intentions are good or not, he was just trying to buble up his ego that he was the best guys there, and on some point this is disgusting, it is like you are been scored for your physical properties not what is inside. Both males and females make those notes, and is really disgusting not letting the magic happens by its own, but by force. Those things doesn't happen by force, if they happens, happens, if they don't, than not.

[@mykidsaresupercute]

It kinda is a survival show 😅

[@strawberrycakeland]

His intentions did seem bad.. he was clearly trying to portray himself as someone he wasn't and someone people liked more to get more chances and screen time.. that isn't a sign of someone who is genuine.

[@foxyloxy6670]

Glad she removed him. Trying to get screen time among other sneaky things... THAT'S RIGHT, Michelle... ➡️ Walk his butt to the door and continue to be the Queen u are!!!✅ She didn't miss a BEAT! 😂😂😂

[@coppersulphate002]

but you think its okay for a stranger to go through your personal belongings??? Tayshia showed no class.....

[@deucefly1062]

A lot of people are complaining about this but remember, Tayshia and Kaitlyn asked him if they could go through his personal items and he said yes. He could of said no or he could of taken his notebooks in the hallway with him.

[@sylviamatthies2049]

In my view still an unethical question to ask to go through someone's personal items.

he think he's going to a cbs competition show or something, also when he's trying to get her to change her mind after she said no is just another red flag

[@crazy4orlando2]

Or her had a lot of thoughts and feelings and note making helps him stay focued and sort through them. Alot of people journal we don't know enough about him to assume its malicious.

Out of everything the "Dream Girls and Dating List" threw me off the most

As bad as it seems. One should right goals down and how to achieve them.

Even better if they WRITE them down.

So he handed her his dream girls dating list, none of whom looked like Michelle according to Kaitlyn.

Michelle is too classical for such a nonsense! Why bring the notes on the show?

[@lucbordage7291]

Beware of the Players! There were more of them on the Katie season but this one has a few of them too. The host(s) have No Business going through the rooms of the cast members, a total lack of privacy. And please, no mid-season addOns this time. Just stick with the original cast of men.

[@brandon_4thave822]

Yes, it is.

[@crazy4orlando2]

There are challenges or aka group dates. The fianl picks are also referred to as winners. So yes, it is a game show. This definitely has to be a set up because the room screening bit had never been done beforem producers did him dirty.

[@sophieamandaleitontoomey9343]

This was so staged, it was cringey. I also really don’t like how they went through all of the guys’ things or the fact that they waited until the night of the first cocktail party to tell Michelle. Just had all around.

[@evaz1383]

I was rooting for Garrett, Bryan and Brandon, she sent them all home. Instead, she kept Joe who has already ghosted her in the past.

[@ndo533]

He didnt ghost her. She sent him a message and he didnt reply. She never met him and didnt know him

[@evaz1383]

@@ndo533 That is ghosting. Michelle said it herself that he ghosted her.

Not defending him, but as a guy this is something I could totally see a friend's wife doing, especially if the notes encompass the entire Bachelor Franchise.

[@PeanutGallery89]

NO

@Jene Brooks Say the friend thing is true. His friends wrote him notes. Why would there be notes referencing men from past seasons that he should emulate if he hasn't seen those seasons. How would he know what the notes are referring to. He would have had to see the show in order for the notes to do anything for him so i think he shud just be honest about how much of the show he has seen. It doesn't add up

[@corgising5606]

@@evaz1383 Just a quick question to you. Have you been watching the franchise for a long time? If so, do you see how it’s deteriorated? Ratings keep tanking. Lowest viewed premiere in the history of the show. Repeated producer-induced drama. Silly giggling hosts who apparently bug a lot of viewers. Long time viewers are getting tired and losing interest…..especially since there are so many other options out there like Netflix. Some people think getting rid of Chris instead of letting him apologize and tell his side of the story is just one of many boneheaded moves by producers. In today’s world, it’s one strike and you’re out. No chance for redemption.

I hope this lady finds a good person, I also hope she stops using "as a black woman" comment for things related to her life/reelationships. I also hope ABC stops running commercials that say "especially African-american girls" like the one they ran the first night. I for one, am real sick of people wanting to be inclusive with the constant pointing out of color difference which doesn't F-ing matter. If that commercial had stated "especialy white girls", the poop would of hit the airways. Learn ABC before you lose more viewers. AND, the snot nose hosts having the audacity to pry through that guy's private information was the worst thing I have seen yet on this show. Bad judgement, bad producers, bad women.
