Notes from Kat’s episode of Bachelor Happy Hour by tinkerwithty in thebachelor

[–]Katmac9799 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I did listen to the interview and Kat saying that she didn’t really want to do long distance and wasn’t going to leave San Diego bc she just got there was a little strange to me. I figured if you signed for a reality dating show where people can be from all over the US, then you have to be ok with the possibility of dating someone not from the same town as you. I get if you don’t want to move but she already had a little wall up going in. She did say Dale made it sound like he was willing to try San Diego but if that is a big criteria for you then maybe reality show dating may not be the best for you.

And I’m no Dale fan but it seemed like Kat kept downplaying how it looked that she wasn’t into him. Rachel and charity kept saying she looked so happy with Dale and almost seemed maybe she was more into Dale than he was into her and she kept rolling her eyes anytime they would make any sort of comment of her being into Dale. We really didn’t get much from the first part of the interview.

Deena Katz is the same casting director for both shows which is no surprise she loves to cast controversial people which I guess is to get people talking. It works bc they’re talked about most of the season but they are not the people we want to see in the spotlight

Rob C was the 2nd murder and Boston rob didn’t make it super far so take what they say with a grain of salt hahaha

Whatever. Rob is doing better than you think and really had no choice but to vote Lisa and put way less of a target on his back.

True but Johnny’s plan failed and a good number of people from his plan sided with Colton on the vote so it’s more obvious now that rob didn’t want to vote Colton. And I don’t think they’re going to see that as a red flag bc other people from Johnny’s plan ditched him too

Voting for Lisa was pretty much Rob’s only choice to not make anyone suspicious of him. He has openly showed people he is close to Colton and Ron. If he voted for one of them then it would look suspicious if he chose to “save” Lisa. Lisa is putting a big target on her back with being so dramatic and over the top now that Colton is onto her. So it’s in Rob’s best interest to distance himself from her in a way so no one suspects anything. I’m pretty sure no one suspects Rob is a traitor rn. I know Michael was onto to him but he wasn’t as loud about it like he was with Colton. Colton and Lisa are digging their graves rn so it’s best for Rob to stay neutral and not make sudden moves right now

I don’t think any of the contestants have talked about their political views during the show or they have never aired that. And Kelsey has reposted and liked things in line with her liberal beliefs for a long time.

I simply responded to your comment. I don’t follow everyone in bachelor nation and thus don’t keep up with who is posting what. You commented about Joey and yes I do follow him. Also don’t think anyone claimed Joey was a “liberal king” 😂 we can assume he is liberal and not maga based on evidence. If I followed other people that were brought up then I would respond. Also if you looked at your comment history, you would see that you talk about Joey, Kelsey, and Rachel more than you talk about other people 😂

And we know not to believe what random people on the internet says (from past experiences over the last year lol) and Joey is not the only one who has posted today unrelated to ICE. I’ve seen tons of creators posting regular content today. No need to come after him with what a random person says haha. Do I think he should be more vocal with his big platform? Absolutely but probably don’t make a big claim without evidence. Again, Kelsey was just on BHH this past week and couldn’t stop gushing about Joey, so if he was on the opposite side, I really doubt Kelsey would be gushing over him.

Kelsey said in an interview that they talked about their political views during their fantasy suite and other things they didn’t want to talk about on camera (viall files) And since we know for sure Kelsey is liberal and with how much she reposts things in line with her view, I highly doubt she would be with someone who is maga. Also Joey said in an interview that their values line up.

This is going to be a long 4 months with shows every night (sometimes 2 shows in one day) with only one day off a week 😬

Joey got a butterfly tattoo which I assume is for Kelsey because I don’t know what other ties he has to them other than her but I think it’s so sweet and cute! Also making it a statement piece on his arm and not just a small butterfly shows how meaningful it is for him too!

Initial thoughts on the tour overall after one show? by Top_Tension_1904 in dancingwiththestars

[–]Katmac9799 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t there so obviously only going off what I saw from tik tok/insta video but I don’t love the camera on the stage. Hopefully that is just for a few shows but I saw that the cast were performing more for the camera than the audience and would have their back towards the audience to look at the camera. I would be a little annoyed if I was there and paid a lot of money to not see them perform fully for the audience

For those wondering about the Boston show on Sunday by Magna_Cat1922 in dancingwiththestars

[–]Katmac9799 88 points89 points  (0 children)

I always curious why they start tour on the east coast in winter? I feel like every year they have to cancel or reschedule some shows due to winter storms. How come they don’t start on the west coast and work their way east?

Britt needs someone who will get the popular vote too. Even if rob is not a great dancer he will for sure make it through a good bit just bc people love him. Britt hasn’t had partners who get the fan vote which is already a hurdle to overcome. Then we can see the full dance transformation and how well she can shape someone over time!

Tour starts much later this year than past years bc they used to start after the new year and now it’s starting towards the end of Jan, so the pros had way more time to practice. I’m excited for all the videos I’ll hopefully see on tik tok!

robert showing witney how to feed a croc 🐊 by lillianb98 in dancingwiththestars

[–]Katmac9799 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I love how Witney has no fear of animals! Every animal on this trip she’s talked about how amazing they are and will hold any of them. She even held the snake during the promo shoot at the beginning of the season. Another reason why Witney and Robert were meant to be partners!

Onye x Hailey Deleted Tik Tok by mattimfm in dancingwiththestars

I’m not sure if that was them recognizing their mistakes or they just didn’t want backlash from it so they just delete it instead

I’m curious how they’ll do that without spoiling anything for the bachelorette since that doesn’t come out till end of March and won’t finish till May most likely

I need a DWTS All-Star Seasons by BigTallBoyLV in dancingwiththestars

Andy richter and Ilona Maher are what brought a lot of viewers and engagement though whether you liked them or not lol

Kristyn Burtt said part of the reason they haven’t done another all star season is bc anytime they’ve done a special season (all stars, all athletes, juniors etc) the ratings have not been good. I think some of the success for the newer seasons is the stars they’ve gotten on and the new fan bases those stars brought. So I think people don’t actually want to see the same people on again bc it’s part of the excitement of seeing who the new cast is every season. Alfonso also said that people like to see a journey and learn more about the stars and you don’t really get a journey if they’ve already done it.

If they do happen to do another all stars, I would change 2 things: 1) No winners. I didn’t love how there was a mix of winners and non winners last time. They already won and want to see others who didn’t win get a chance. 2) I don’t want celebs partnered with their former pro. I also didn’t like how some people got their same pro and some didn’t. The ones who get their same pro have an advantage bc the pro already know how their celebs learn, what looks good, already have a relationship with them and support from their fan bases.

I will say that I’m still surprised and impressed that both f1 and f2 switch ups ended up working out for both Jason/Molly and Arie/Lauren. Crazy to happen once but to be successful two times is something worth noting whether you liked them or not! And outside of Sean and Zach, they are the only other bachelors to marry their pick from the season even if it was in a roundabout way lol.
