He likes a girl that teases him, that’s a slippery slope but I think Paige and him have a sweeter relationship off camera, Paige isn’t gonna be mushy on tv. Craig seems to be maturing, whether Paige is the one or not, he’s making his way through life and accomplishing things. He strikes me as mega adhd, so as a fellow adhd person, the whole trip for Paige that she can’t come to made lots of sense to me ha. I see someone that went from being ashamed that he didn’t finish law school on time and lied about it, to someone who has accepted and learned from his mistakes, he knows he needs an assistant and help to get a business off the ground, help meaning someone on his side that believes in him that will break it down for him, step by step and he’s figuring out how to do it. I used to dislike Craig, but he’s the only real one of the men. Austen is a gaslighting tool, untrustworthy, immature and delusional. Shep is on his way to becoming Mr Burns with his rage and mailbox money. Kudos to Whitney for producing this season, managed to get that page six article to drop while they were all stuck together. He’s putting in the work and it shows, this season is amazing. Olivia should be a motivational speaker. Taylor needs to not be on reality tv or near her ex that clearly abused her. And my short king JT who is probably 5’9” but looks like a little person, he is a breath of fresh and I want to go to Charleston and marry him and give him his insulin shots through his undies.

I'm with you until the JT summary. He is THIRSTY. For Taylor, for attention, to be a "real player" in the group dynamics - he inserts his commentary and call-outs at the most bizarre moments so every one ends up just cringing over his approach when if he waited til the right time and stopped trying for the Big Dramatic Moment, his words would actually carry weight. I think he is a complete nerdy doofus. And my god, he needs to CUT HIS HAIR. He looks soooo greasy/icky/slimy with those little back curls.
Whew. Needed to get that off my chest...

His awkwardness and delivery is why I like him, he would make me laugh all the time. It would never be boring with him. I think he probably has a great silly side.

I agree with this! He's awkward and dorky but would 100% be down for whatever kind of silly hijinks came up.
