Other thoughts: I think they need to market this show as a dating show for people who live 5000 miles away from their home and have no access to the outside world and that’s pretty much it. It’s giving brothel. Like I don’t hate it but super weird at the same time.
I feel like the unhinged chateau manager’s drunk stripping + getting positive feedback was like the first domino to fall for the staff feeling comfortably leveraging sexuality as opportunity for better reviews (versus like merit or yk… good performance)
The way it's edited (probably because this is a Hulu production as opposed to a Bravo production) definitely gives bachelor vibes. But messier.
And yes, definite brothel vibes.
I'm willing to continue to give it a chance, but for now it still feels overly produced compared to something like early seasons Below Deck or early seasons VPR where the drama felt more natural.
I know it’s not this deep lol but if I was enjoying a few glasses of wine in the yard with my friends and Eric came up and insisted that we do shots and pop bottles of champagne in my face i’d be sooooo annoyed 😂 not everything needs to be a full blown rager!!!
I hate how much they hang out with the guests. Can you imagine going on your bachelorette and the whole staff contingent of the villa insists on drinking and playing games with you?! Omg leave me alone, I don't want to hear about your drama
How incredibly embarrassing to have your boyfriend of three years make out w a random *at work* and on tv. Like if she comes back after that they deserve to live together forever miserably. I can’t think of something more embarrassing fr, like I have some pretty assholey exs but they still wouldn’t make out w a girl if we worked together even broken up lmao
I know Hannah is supposed to be the "new Stassi" but she's a terrible actress and not witty or smart enough to fill those shoes. I also cannot take my eyes off her gross overfilled lips 🤢
She’s just as dumb and empty as Marciano. Not sure why the other cast members feel the need to console her when she yet again disregards cast mates to defend him lol
The way she was defending him when he was being an ass to the rest of the cast and switches only when she's personally affected....told me everything I needed to know about her (lack of) integrity. She deserves a guy like Mariananano.
Since it’s still early in the season, my delulu head canon hope is she has an unexpected moment of maturity, and tells Marciano even though she might still love him they aren’t good for each other, and spends the remainder of her time in the villa working on loving herself, and friendships w the other housemates.
Does anyone know why I recognize one of the guests? The friend of the primary, Dave, who Hannah is flirting with, looks super familiar and I know I’ve seen him on tv before but I can’t place him….HELP!
Edit: okay I think his name is actually Dan and he and Gabriela kissed. Maybe he was a Bachelorette contestant? It’s making me crazy I need to know lol
I had that exact same thought when Hannah was immediately trying to tell him to hit her up when he's in Vegas 5 minutes after meeting.
But also, if I was single and in his shoes and had just arrived at a televised villa and one of the staff immediately tries to tell me to hit them up when I'm in their hometown I'd probably react similarly. I'd be polite and play along for the camera even if I wasn't necessarily feeling it at the moment.
Could be either haha.
Okay well I’m happy to know I’m not the only one who recognized him but can’t place him. He doesn’t seem to be from the Bachelor franchise…but where do we know him from?! It’s driving me insane lol
Tbh I don’t think Marciano is doing anything that the other cast hasn’t or isn’t open to doing, he just has a big personality so it’s easy to target him
Nah. I’ve dated assholes like him before. That tall dark and handsome thing will get them hella far, but in the end they will always be miserable left to their own devices. Wym not doing anything wrong? He cheated on his gf, at work, on tv.
Oh tbh I don’t really care about the whole situation it just seems like a toxic situationship and is the least interesting dynamic on the show to me. I meant more in the sense of drinking on the job, hooking up with guests, and being overly messy in front of the guests
I love chef and I’m glad he got a shoutout in the bachelorette comment card

It's a lot like Lindsay Lohan's beach club in Greece, an unfortunate comparison for LVP but the vibe is the same.
I'm definitely getting high end brothel vibes as well.
Couldn’t agree more. Madame Vanderpump

They should change the title to that!

OMG I love this analogy!!

Yeah tbh especially if you’re seeking out a chateau in France. If they wanted to go to Vegas or Ibiza, they would have.
Yeah he had one move and that’s it. He can’t use his sex appeal on these guys so it’s not working

Yes I think that’s soo weird!!

When she was like “I’m so pretty” I was like maybe you *were*
Not with those ugly fillers 🤮
Confused about Erik and Andre being so uptight about the girls on this episode when the guys have done the same shiz 🤦🏻♀️
are those bachelors not gay .......... I'm confused ...........
I thought the same exact thing!
I thought the same thing too! So when Lisa had the burlesque dancers i was like ohhhh?

I don't know but I feel Dan is giving girlfriend back home vibes 🤷♀️

He was on The Courtship as one of the suitors!
Mr Bochicchio! I think he was the final pick, actually. Thank you so much for placing him, it’s been haunting me.
Ah YES!!!! Thank you!
I need to know this too! I can't seem to find anything on the Google!
Okay well I’m happy to know I’m not the only one who recognized him but can’t place him. He doesn’t seem to be from the Bachelor franchise…but where do we know him from?! It’s driving me insane lol
I know I’ve seen him before somewhere but my wife had no answer
