"Wow, this season is FLYING by, huh? It's already surpassing any season of The Bachelor (and weirdly the most recent season of Project Runway)by delivering an elimination each episode. But I wish we had gotten a little more depth out of Mel. I'm over him being dragged over the coals for his comment on whatever sports podcast, and ready for him to open up emotionally. I want YEARNING, Mel. I want TEARS. I want shoes with a LEATHER UPPER. Time to step it up."
"The first date of the week is a group date for Nicolle, Geri, Robin, Amy, Monica B., Cindy, Terri, Cheryl, Carol ... ugh this is getting exhausting ... everyone except Debbie. Debbie immediately starts crying, and I swear to god, if this doesn't work out for her, I want her to be our next Golden Bachelorette. The women applaud Debbie while Cindy's organs eat themselves from the inside out."
The episode stages a comedy-writing group date in which contestants prepare roast-style sketches aimed at Mel. Jared Freid assists the group, while some contestants would have preferred a professional roast comic such as Nikki Glaser or Deborah Vance. Debbie becomes emotional and receives applause and support from the other women. Mel largely avoids deep personal questions, and the episode maintains rapid eliminations with limited emotional depth from the bachelor. The date focuses on testing Mel's ability to take criticism through satire and performance.
