'The Bachelorette' season 15: Luke Parker may still be in the game, but it's Tyler Cameron who has the fans' hearts
'The Bachelorette' season 15 aired with its seventh episode on Monday night and as much as fans wished the episode would not be a drama-filled mess like the previous ones, they were left disappointed once again. Remember, they hoped they got to see less of Luke Parker?
Last week, Hannah Brown gave Luke a rose ignoring his continued troublesome behavior and this week she did the same. Before we go down that road, here's a rundown of what happened this week on 'The Bachelorette' season 15.
After arriving in Latvia, Garrett got the first one-on-one date of the week with Brown. And Parker as usual butted in revealing he is jealous because he knows no one else feels for Brown the way he does. Which is obvious, no one else looks at Brown like she is a piece of property or a winning prize.
Back to Garrett and Brown's date, the duo decides to go bungee jumping, Latvian style. Bungee jumping naked is apparently a Latvian tradition and with just a black bar covering their private parts. After their bungee jumping and bonding time, Garrett manages to get a date rose from Brown.
The next day Brown goes on a group date with Mike, Jed, Tyler, Dustin, Luke, Connor, and Dylan. And despite Parker and all his pointless antics, Tyler Cameron managed to steal the spotlight with his charming ways. He brought Brown a beautiful bouquet of flowers for their group date.
During their group date, Brown tells the guys about her date with Garrett and their little bungee jumping stunt and everyone thought it was fun, except one person and that was none other than Parker, 'The Bachelorette' season 15's very own douchebag.
Shocked, Parker tells, "This is a woman I want to spend the rest of my life with and [I] totally thought that was crossing the line. Her body is her temple and to expose it to anyone who isn't her husband...that was a slap in my face."
He then reveals he needs to talk to Brown about this and when he tells the other suitors that he is not comfortable with this, our very own savior Tyler, tells Parker. "Here's where I differ, though, I actually respect and love that she went for it. She's making her own decisions. She's not making decisions for anyone but herself. Let her go have those experiences living to the max."
Parker, however, as usual, doesn't listen to anyone and sits and talks to Brown about this telling her, "I'll be honest, you're not going to like this. I know that your body is a temple, and honestly, I'm just thinking of you holding him bare skinned...it really pissed me off. I'm looking for you to meet my family soon, and I felt like it was a slap in the face."
Continuing he adds, "No matter what you do I'm going to support you, even if you make a boneheaded mistake and you just do something completely out of your character and something that's wrong. I'm going to do whatever it is to make things right. I'm in this, and we're going to work through this together and I'm not worried about it. I just want you to know that at the end of the day, no matter what, we're going to get through anything."
Brown doesn't tell him anything but gives the group date rose to Tyler. After seeing the way Tyler treated Brown and supported her in front of the other guys and shut Parker down, fans all over reveal they are rooting for him and hope he ends up with Brown.
"WE LOVE A MAN THAT POINTS OUT TOXIC MASCULINITY IN OTHER MEN TYLER C I LOVE YOU #TheBachelorette ," wrote a fan on Twitter. Echoing those sentiments another fan said, "All I want to say is that this world needs more Tyler C’s and less Luke P’s and Jed’s thank you for coming to my ted talk . #thebachelorette."
"I’m really NOT trying to be dramatic, but if Tyler C doesn’t win the bachelorette, I’ll slash my TV with a hammer, light it on fire, throw it out my window, and swan dive off my roof," said another fan.
While a fan wrote, "TYLER C. CALLING OUT SEXIST DOUBLE STANDARDS WITH THE SPEEDO STUFF. AS IF WE NEEDED ANOTHER REASON TO STAN."
In the end, though fans hoped that Parker will not get a rose, he managed to get a rose from Brown during the rose ceremony, which means we will get to see him next week too. (Oh what joy!).
