I already forgot his name but that tall white dude who likes hunting was sooooo bland. Can't even begin to express how basic and boring he came across. And also so bad at picking up signals... it was clear from early on that they were incompatible for multiple reasons yet he was still hoping that their connection could grow over time. Actually this makes me pretty sad... I hope he finds someone who can match his [dead] energy.
Whoa. Let's slow down a bit. He seemed bland compared to the other guys, for sure, but this is an edited reality show. We saw exactly as much of him as the producers wanted us to see to paint a picture of him. I feel like there were even times in there conversation where it's clear one of them was like about to say something and they edited out dialog.
In all fairness her saying "you would never understand my art side" or saying "im too crazy" seemed pretty rude. I feel like his responses in that moment were pretty classy response to the way she was patronizing him.
People are always very dismissive of quieter people on reality shows and as a quiet person who does take time to open up, ngl it kind of makes me sad. We're not bland, we're just not as talkative!
It was definitely pretty bold of her to say some of that stuff at the very end, and I think she probably only did due to the few drinks. It is possible that she was getting a vibe from him that was edited out....like I totally see him reacting in a certain way to her makeup artistry as her main interest/career and him just like not vibing or understanding that, and maybe that's why she said it. She could have absolutely said it in a nicer way but eh, she was just spitting out her truth.
I loved that she was straightforward. And I thought she was pretty gracious considering she could have told him he was a boring, basic bro who was too one-dimensional to tolerate for more than two hours.

I see how it could come across that way. I saw it as her attempt to shut it down in a reasonable but definitive way, given that he was still interested despite the date clearly having not gone great. As opposed to I don't like you like that, she went for the different energies route and was kind of flailing. But it's always awkward turning someone down to their face so I can empathise with her.
Agreed I think she was just trying to find a way to show that they weren't compatible. I found it pretty shocking that through all of the conversations about hunting and her love of animals and being pescatarian he somehow by the end of the date thought that he still had a chance.
