In the evening, we get the beginnings of Cam’s rather irritating hypocrisy. Despite being the guy who crashed last week’s Group Date (and in doing so, whether he or not he meant to, took precious time with Hannah from other guys), he plays victim to justify his actions. He even goes so far as to insinuate that the other men’s time may not be as valuable as his given what he wants to discuss with Hannah.

So, in my humble opinion, this is horse shit. His “important topic” with Hannah was to lay on a guilt trip about how he quit his job to be there. (For the record, a good percentage of all contestants do this. Either that or they’re self-employed, freelance, or they have very understanding bosses. It is not rare for someone to have quit their job for the experience of going on this show.) Second, whether or not a producer encouraged him to crash last week’s date, he is in charge of his actions, therefore it bugs me that he’d demand the very respect he wouldn’t give the other men just days ago. And look, I actually don’t mind aggressive, I-go-after-what-I-want behavior (from an entertainment perspective) as long as the contestant just owns it, but Cam is an annoying mix of “Always Be Cam” (the guy who acts like the rules don’t apply to him), and Victim Cam (the guy with a chronic underdog mentality). You can’t have both, but Cam wants it all.

A little editing observation: Note how during the following Man Chat, Cam starts out with Tyler on his right and John Paul Jones guy on his left, but ends up at the end of the same sofa, with no one on his left…
