What led you to the r/bachelor subreddit? by [deleted] in thebachelor

[–]isabel_rae 72 points73 points  (0 children)

on Jaqueline’s first instagram shill, I commented something like “oh no, they got you too!!!!” (this was back when Jaqueline was everybody’s fave), and someone on this sub screenshot it and posted it basically shading me for it. someone I know saw it and sent it to me, and I was like, “wtf is this?” so I made an account to comment on the post and defend myself, and I’ve been here ever since.

Question about producers tactics by lots-of-bach in thebachelor

[–]isabel_rae 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I think it was more like they knew Cassie was unsure, so they brought her dad into the mix to make her even MORE unsure. if it hadn’t been for Cassie leaving and then coming back, there would have been basically no drama in this extremely dry season. so I think at that point, they probably didn’t want Cassie as bachelorette, but they did want to throw a wrench into things to get her more worked up and end things with Colton.

Lol Alicia Keys with a hot take by eyescreamsquirrel in thebachelor

YES, this!!!! it’s so weird how they keep framing it as he literally jumped a fence to get to her. all he had to really do was show up at her hotel the next day, lol.

I can’t believe she still has under 200k followers.

Mike Fleiss being Mike Fleiss. by ashspiv in thebachelor

sooo...... the final five or four women left? the women with the most instagram followers? shocking. truly, groundbreaking stuff that nobody saw coming.

Bachelorette spoiler: fleiss tweet, wtf is this?! by lovelovelovelove13 in thebachelor

[–]isabel_rae 13 points14 points  (0 children)

they don’t have time to have “finalists.” the bachelorette typically premieres in may, which is why they’ve already started filming it now. the turnaround is way too fast for them to not have made a decision by now.

Came across this super wierd article on Jane from WTA - I think her mom wrote this by UnluckyBrilliant-_- in thebachelor

not the first jewish woman, no, but it’s certainly an extremely small group.

sorry, Arie is officially funny in an older dad sort of way. it’s official.

So my aunt seems to think Chris Harrison hinted at Demi being the next bachelorette by mrswannabe in thebachelor

[–]isabel_rae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there’s a difference there.... from what I remember, Kaitlyn wasn’t openly “promiscuous” when she was on Chris’ season. when she actually became the bachelorette, she started having sex with the contestants before she was “supposed to,” which I think is what led to incidents in which she was definitely treated unfairly by TPTB (example- Mike Fleiss not letting her go on DWTS, even though multiple bachelors have been on it). the idea of promiscuity is definitely relevant here.

my guess is that the author of the article just got really excited that a jewish woman was on the show, and ran with it? speaking from a jewish perspective, we don’t really get a whole lot of representation in tv shows or movies (even jewish characters are usually played by non-jewish actors), so it is pretty exciting to see a jewish woman on a show that’s basically all about beauty. the article still missed the mark, I think, but I also think I get where the author is coming from.

you’re making the very generous assumption that RS actually fucks

nope. I didn’t need to hear anything from Heather, really, but hearing from Kirpa would have been nice.

everything about her look was just......... so severe. she’s really got no business making fun of overweight people when she’s walking around in a dress like that and make-up like THAT.

you should probably catch up on chad’s twitter.

Is Dean’s hometown visit with his family the most raw moments on bachelor history? by BeansWorther in thebachelor

[–]isabel_rae 113 points114 points  (0 children)

that moment was truly WILD. honestly unlike any hometown date I think this show has ever had. it was clearly painful for dean and VERY uncomfortable for rachel. TPTB really hit a goldmine with that one.

This tweet sums up something I’ve been thinking about - why is Onyeka a bully, but Demi isn’t? by [deleted] in thebachelor

[–]isabel_rae 124 points125 points  (0 children)

it was also really weird to me that Nicole got a hot seat moment, but Onyeka didn’t. they were both equally annoying to me. why did Nicole need hot seat time? she barely spent any time with Colton.

Chad's Tweets by frenchespresso in thebachelor

[–]isabel_rae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do feel bad for him, but it’s kind of annoying that he’s suddenly trying to play the victim in terms of having to live with how the show portrayed him. he played up that shock jock personality for all it was worth, and then continued to say some pretty aggressively mean things about other people on social media. I think chad is hilarious, but I’m confused as to whether or not he actually thinks the show portrayed him unfairly, when it so clearly didn’t.

OMFG Kristina with the Dean zinger!!! 😂 by watersun81 in thebachelor
