***Who is watching the Bachelorette/Bachelor?*** Updated thread

[Lehuaann]

Becca looks very pretty in red.

The picture situation, grow up

 

[Toolulu22]

He is a complete tool, but I couldn't stop laughing.

What is he thinking!?

 

[Pugsly]

What is he thinking!?

That he wants more than a modeling career. Or ... “the producers asked him to play a part, so he and his face are going to do just that!”

 

[Pugsly]

After the first episode, I really liked Colton. After he mentioned having dated Tia, I had to look her up (wasn’t sure I remembered which one she was) and sadly happened upon some info that makes it look like he’s just in it to launch a (modeling, acting, something) career.

Caught up on DVR and totally bored. But I seem to check in on this series every single year.

 

[Toolulu22]

I was able to watch most of last night's episode and realize when Becca made the comment about wondering if Colton hoped Tia would be there, that I actually wish Tia had been chosen. I don't dislike Becca, but don't get how she is someone that 28 guys would be competing for. She's ordinary, and that's fine but just not compelling TV.

The guys on the other hand seem like a fairly interesting group for a change.

I am further feeling the production aspect by the fact that Becca knew the one guy from beforehand, and now we find out that Colton had a one night st... "relationship" with Tia. The Bachelor Universe starts before they even make it on the show I guess! Ewe.

TOTALLY agree!!!!
Bachelor nation is like one big incestuous family!!!

NO WAY did Becca not know that Lincoln cheated to win that challenge.
Everybody there was talking about it, on camera, with producers right there.
They did nothing. It was all scripted... They sent the two of them off to spend their one-on-one time.
That means IMHO that Becca making out with Lincoln makes her no better than a porn actress.

Both Lincoln and Connor would been shipped off in the back of a limo/van before sunrise if it were up to me.

The whole thing is like a bad guilty pleasure!!!
It is either...
Or...
Or...

Just checking in ... is this the Bachelorette thread?

I've been curious about this because the previews for the season showed Colton telling Becca that he's a virgin. Granted, the next scene showed some of the guys saying he's lying about that, but it will be interesting to see if its tied back to the Tia scenario.

I didn't blame Becca for sending the guy from her hometown home. If he had genuine interest in her, he could have connected with her outside of the show. Or vice versa for that matter. By never doing that, it seems he was coming on the show to parlay his acquaintance with Becca as a storyline for airtime and I'm glad she saw through it.

Thought the grocery store owner was cute and surprised she sent him home. Lincoln was awful and way over the top. Clearly trying to get airtime too. I was disappointed with how Connor reacted because I was liking him. He seems too young for Becca though.

 

[Toolulu22]

Not sure which to watch now and which to watch later- Bachelorette or Disney's Fairy Tale Wedding Show. Both are on tonight. I liked this first two specials and this is a six episode series.

 

[Simba's Mom]

I can't believe this! I was watching TMZ the other night and they speculated on which Bachelor they saw all kissy with Becca after the season ended. Way to be a spoiler!

 

[Hopscotch]

Wow! She kisses a lot. Think she has kissed almost everyone already.

 

[Toolulu22]

I fell asleep. Googled the recap and found out there was no rose ceremony. I missed Clay going home, but he seemed okay. Bye Clay!

I really hope its the editing with Jordan, because he seems more and more odd with the way he speaks and presents himself.

She seems really into Colton, and I don't get it. Out of all those guys, she's going to like the one who dated her friend and who she had questions about his intentions. I guess we'll see where that goes.

The biggest drama last night was abroad, and actual reality.

 

[lynxstch]

Wow..I knew that guy Lincoln seemed odd, and I didn't like him from the start.

I don't read spoilers, but I certainly hope that Becca sensed something wrong with him, and sends/sent him home!


Now I know why---

Entertainment Tonight

Now Playing: 'Bachelorette' Star Lincoln Adim Convicted of Indecent Assault | NR
ET can confirm the 26-year-old reality show contestant competing for Becca Kufrin's heart, was convicted of indecent assault and battery last month stemming from a 2016 incident in Boston, Massachusetts.

 

[robinb]

This was from May 2016? When was he charged? I know he was innocent until found guilty, but I would think that even being accused of indecent assault would have meant that he couldn't be on the show.

ETA: I now see that ABC says that their background check came back clean on him. I wonder if he wasn't charged until after he passed a background check.

This was on my home page today,I assumed it was 'new', but I really don't know. Just know something about him bugs me every time I see him

I didn't let my self get sucked in this season - only have watched 3 seasons. The few that I have watched I always wonder "who are these people"? Then last season with Becca getting dumped just made me sick. Surely it was staged to make people want to watch this season. If it wasn't staged why would she allow the camera to keep rolling, If it were me I would have walked out.

It was completely staged and scripted. The producers are spending quite a bit of money to produce these shows. It would be way to risky to not give the actors a script. The show would become boring very fast and ratings would plummet.

 

[Wishing on a star]

Yes, totally staged...
As was the whole situation with Linkon... Now it is out that he has had charges of violent crime....
Like.... DUHHHHHH!!!!!! They should be doing thorough background checks....
ALL SCRIPTED.
I had posted then that Becca's staged make-out session with him, IMHO, made her seem more like a paid adult porn star.

Yes, I did love that red!!!!
But Becca simply is not that attractive.

To be honest... I watch, knowing that it is scripted.
And, I think TIA would have been WAY WAY better!!!
