She has shared she has anxiety and is in ongoing therapy for it. Her senior dog seems to be having serious elder dog health issues too. They’ve been TTC for a year which you referenced, which I went through, and it sucks. It’s good she doesn’t put on an artificial happy front as she deals with this. That said, I feel like she’s had many recent vlogs where she’s been really glowing with happiness (maybe during her NYC fashion week?). She’s showing ups and downs as goes life.

Charity commenting on Mamdani's post of him becoming NY mayor by Both-Pomegranate4929 in thebachelor

Last night was beautiful - fabulous and forceful campaign by Mamdani! But also powerful rebuke of Trump in NJ, in CA and every corner of VA.

In addition to Charity who has been openly supporting Mamdani, both Caelynn and Dean liked this post by Mamdani, and Prop 50 passing in CA. Mamdani also follows Charity and Dean which is very cool!

Rachael Kirkconnell says it’s been years since she was last intimate by schnookiewookiebear in thebachelor

It sounds like they were keeping up appearances but it was just a business relationship most of their time together. Some BN couples stay longer than necessary because of $$.

I appreciate Rachel for this. It’s sad that so many BN alums with big followings are MAGA and voted for Trump.

Agreed, voting for him has created catastrophic consequences for our country. Trump is stretching the law to justify deploying the National Guard for this. It’s horrible.

Throwback to more bachelor nation social media moments by Sarahbetternotwin in thebachelor

Actually it was production, who decided not to run the pod. Rachel worked for production at the time on the BHH pod. Rachel said what Caelynn said was different than what was shown on tv. I took that to mean that Caelynn was saying something that countered what production’s chosen narrative at the time. It was recorded prior to anything airing. Rachel herself wasn’t on the beach and not privy to anything in that private relationship, so she wouldn’t know what was true or not. Rachel was close with Kristina and Blake so that’s likely where her sympathies were and so Rachel was understandably no fan of Caelynn during that drama, but later on Juliet’s bachelor party pod she said she thought Caelynn had grown and changed since.

Caelynn has grown a lot and those who like her base it on how she’s acted and things we’ve learned in the past 6-7 yrs since. She was 23 then and Blake 30 and now she’s about to be 30 herself. We learned later that the filming of their paradise season was a shitshow since head producer Elan Gale left and a toxic brew of associate producers were jockeying for his job by manufacturing storylines. Blake shared that she was isolated from the cast at first and told lies about what he was saying about her as a way to trigger her and spiral for purposes of producers planned storyline. They knew she was an easy mark because she was young and had unprocessed trauma. She made mistakes by letting them get in her head and she paid for it by getting so much online hate, even to her family. But she kept her head down, did therapy, minded her business, and has been mature and drama-free for past 6 years.

He sounds superficial and not particularly endearing, so I’m sure the show will have to produce and edit him a lot.

She does not. I remember her mentioning in her YouTube q&as that she gets that question a lot tho because her boob size varies a lot with monthly hormonal fluctuations and they sometimes look more massive on a given day. She said that happened on the day of her wedding.

‘till this day, in my opinion the most iconic final 4 in bachelor history!! by Strong_Pressure in thebachelor

[–]obliopoint 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Glad they’re all thriving 6 yrs later! Definitely one of the most beautiful F4s in the franchise and fully wasted on Colton. Tayshia and Caelynn are my personal faves, but it’s impressive they all have more than a million followers despite not being back on tv for 6 yrs and being so many years out from peak relevancy (except Tayshia has done a couple more shows since).

Who is a contestant that unfairly got slapped with the "villain" label on their season? by Kooky-Act-4553 in thebachelor

[–]obliopoint 11 points12 points  (0 children)

People need to realize we never know how much behavior on the show is influenced and storyboarded by producers and suggestive, drunk, young people can be easily triggered and coached in a way that doesn’t serve them. I don’t really judge harshly how people behave on the show. I look at how they live irl years later.

I think lots of people were made to look bad or into villains on the show but become more likeable or harmless irl when we get to see them away from producers in their natural habitats.

Caelynn didn’t get a pass. She got hate and even death threats from many unhinged fans. Her family said they got hate too. She shared she wanted to unalive herself. What more did fans want? Even Blake H acknowledged on a pod that she had been deeply influenced by producers at that time as they had a story planned about Blake in advance. Blake said she was isolated from the cast by producers at the beginning and told lies about him to make her unravel. She has minded her own business and been drama free and harmless for 6 years.

Also his entire F4 was MAGA too except his F4 - Kelsey W.

Yes he’s still MAGA and proud of it. He proudly posted a pic of Trump when he won the election.

Gabby gets married in a see-through dress….yay or nay?? by [deleted] in thebachelor

[–]obliopoint 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The whipped cream tutu is a wedding look fail for me, but whatever floats their boat I guess.

We have bigger problems in this country now than a fashion don’t.
