Re: Reality Steve - Thread #2

MF made sure RS got the ending wrong twice. My only cause for doubting RS on the ending is that I'm not sure MF will have backed off in this regard. We've heard more than once that MF doesn't care how much of the season gets spoiled, but he cares about the ending being spoiled. Has this changed?

Doubtful. I do think that people have enough doubt in RS to know that his info is not 100% rock solid. The sleuthers are back sleuthing again, and hopefully will continue no matter the outcome.

Just to clarify, BlondieGal, are you saying that MF still wants an unspoiled ending?

I would assume so. There is so much doubt now with RS that there might not be as much concern this season with his spoilers, but that is just my opinion.

I think RS was actually at that FRC :D

Thanks for RS video. He said he did "diligent work" this season and has "sources he really trusts" this season, he has the ending right after some problems the last two seasons with the wrong ending. But what he said "will be right when we see it on August 1st. JP & Ben F final two and JP proposed and they are currently engaged."

He said Ryan (they showed the wrong Ryan pic) comes back and asks for another chance in Figi and she sends him home.

So we shall see if his 'trusted sources' came through or not?

The big question for me is how do his sources keep changing but still have the necessary credibility

I was just going to ask the same question. If his sources change from season to season how would he know their credibility? A gut feeling?

Exactly ~ a gut feeling. His sources change each season because the cast change each season. He learns his info from the contestants and/or from those that know the contestants. That's it. That is how we used to hear information in the past on the Fort when insiders used to come there to spill the beans, to provide a misdirection campaign, or just knew wrong intel. RS is just taking up where we left off ... except we have learned not to put all our beans in one pot. 8)

Well Life and Style is reporting that Ashley is currently engaged to the man that received her final rose so perhaps he is right.

All I know is sources have to be very, very careful.
I am close to someone who does video/audio editing for a large firm in NYC. He does a lot of reality tv.
He told me that last summer one of the guys he worked with got fired for posting on his FB page(and how stupid is this) "the next episode of ________ is unbelievable" (or some other hyperbole). These editors are held to very high standards of confidentiality, it's in their contracts. These guys--the ones starting out, are not making big bucks and jobs are still scarce.
Anyway, just an aside re: sources.

Thanks for sharing. This actually makes it even more surprising that season after season he gets all this info - whether deliberately leaked or not.

^^^ He probably spoke to Ashley and she advised him to trust his gut feeling like she trusts hers :P
