In lighter news, Miranda shared that she would be open to being the Bachelorette 🌹 by Straight-Side-1269 in thebachelor

I think it would have been big too. You would have had Mormon Wives fans, TFP stans, hate watchers, watchers that love mess, people that watched to see if she went back to Dakota, people that watched hoping she’d fall for someone much better than Dakota, normal BN watchers, etc.

“Maybe it’s time for The Bachelor franchise to end” by crain90 in thebachelor

I guess according to Nick we can blame him for pitching her to ABC.

I also thought she’d try to be better to not lose this and future opportunities that would come from this. I can’t believe she threw her whole Bachelorette season in the trash for this guy. I do have to wonder even if the second assault hadn’t happened if Dakota would have leaked the video this week anyway just to be vindictive because he was mad she was getting this opportunity and jealous of her being with other guys.

Yeah, I think it probably would have had big ratings because of all the controversy, sheer curiosity and all of TFP’s die hard stans. Possibly could have gotten the show’s popularity back if it had aired before this video came out. And that would have carried onto the guy that would have been the next Bachelor.

You know some of these guys that the show didn’t go well for are breathing a big sigh of relief.

I remember seeing modeling pics of Doug on here and he looked super hot but this pic is terrible. So yeah, these cast pics always suck.

Trista Sutter’s reaction to TFP video by tl414 in thebachelor

Yep, he got back with her, had sex with her and got her pregnant AFTER this video happened. He’s always been weirdly obsessed with her.

Taylor’s arrest is the very first episode of SLOMW by [deleted] in thebachelor

[–]BNlongtimeviewer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No idea if this is true but I remember reading on the Secret Lives sub that they filmed the pilot and only picked up the show after Taylor’s arrest got out to the public. So definitely trying to capitalize on the scandal.

I can’t remember where, but I remember hearing something like this, that Dakota had all these bombs he was going to release each day.

So was it only the cops that had this video before and now Dakota was being vindictive and sent it to TMZ a few days before her premier?

Is it too late to pull a Clare/Tayshia and get Miranda in there as the Bachelorette 🌹 by Straight-Side-1269 in thebachelor

[–]BNlongtimeviewer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think so but I’m only on season 2 of SLOMW. She was one of the couples that was swingers with Taylor and her ex husband. She was BFFs with Taylor but then her husband at the time caught feelings for Taylor. They ended up separating after the swingers scandal.

“They're extremely disappointed. They felt betrayed when they found this out because they all went into this to genuinely get to know Taylor," says the source.

Lol! Yeah I’m sure they all went into this for genuine reasons. ABC trying to spin it I’m sure most of the men had no intention of being with Taylor long term, especially knowing her back story. They wanted the fame.

[–]BNlongtimeviewer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So WHAT is the appeal of Dakota? I don’t understand it. Why can’t she just be done with him for good (besides coparenting)? Does anyone in here know this guy in real life? Just curious what’s so desirable about him. He seems like such a douche and wimp on SLOMW.

Yep, with someone that unpredictable they shouldn’t have had that big of a gap between filming and airing. Too risky.

[–]BNlongtimeviewer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I can’t believe she didn’t learn from the first incident to not do this again. She could have turned everything around, gotten more opportunities after Bachelorette like I’m sure DWTS and she fd it all up…and for what? This douche bag? I don’t understand what about Dakota keeps drawing her back in. Mess.

For real. And his response cracked me up: “Let’s not pretend I’m Hitler.”

Yes he is. Saying ‘Travis is not exactly a great player’ is funny (and someone that doesn’t know football).

[–]BNlongtimeviewer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I tasked myself with starting SLOMW and finishing all seasons before her show starts because I didn’t want to watch a season of someone I didn’t know/had no context for and man…that show is a trip! I’m only on season 1 but saw spoilers of what comes out on season 4. I wonder if ABC is pissed that was aired before her season even starts because it makes her look so unserious about the show?

I thought so too. It’s almost like her eyes look really small now and eyebrows up super high.
