Really? Because I made one comment, in support of an earlier comment when we also got off track, and five of you jumped on me. So who's doing the hijacking?

Anywho...I'm wondering how many of the girls were cast prior to the final decision being made? And if they were cast with an eye toward Roberto, Sean or Arie or if not knowing, they just cast a wide and pretty net?

I still believe that Arie has been tptb choice for the next Bachelor all along so, I'm thinking that the girls who have been cast were done so with him in mind.

I think Arie has been it from day 1. Number 1 he is so dang popular. Number 2 he has great screen presence they know they will get a good season out of him. 3. BG had info a long time ago and then it was retracted and now it is back. It just tells me he has probably been their primary.
Maybe he has been hesitant so they have been going back and forth
or
Maybe MF is just trying to keep the interest high by leaking other names. Lochte was out of left field I thought

I do think they were interested in getting Roberto simply because he's a) a known quantity and b) the pending lawsuit. Given that it now seems as though Roberto is not interested I believe they are going back to their original choice of Arie (perhaps he's balking a bit because they left him hanging when Roberto entered the picture).

There was also some speculation that the delay might have to do with managing him being TB in addition to his racing career, which he seems to be resurrecting. Issues like his sponsors maybe having to view TB contract, trying to get certain concessions (for instance if he stays in the October race), etc. It might have gotten a little more complicated than a standard offer.

Can't even imagine the girls they'd cast for Lochte! :Smiley:
I hope there's a good balance between the "characters" Fleiss likes to include and some quality girls. And I suspect there are going to be some high adrenaline dates!

Nothing new has come up to indicate who it is, NNY

A lot of things pointing to Arie right now. Regardless of any spoilers, it appears that Sean has moved on and has lots of plans to be involved with charities for the time being.

I don't like the way Sean kisses onscreen so I'm okay with him not being the Bachelor. I like him otherwise but yes, I am that shallow in my preferences for the Bachelor. Kissing is an important thing on this show, clearly.

IMO, I would rather see Sean kissing a girl then Arie kissing a girl. I love, love Arie and his kissing is the only thing that I didn't like. To me, with Arie, it seemed like you would need to wipe your face after being kissed by him. Maybe just the way they edited it??

Yeah but Sean has lizard tongue kissing at times. Both are great wall kissers though.

Oh yeah!

OMG Goodgal! Don't Dude Don't! Next thing you know RS or someother rag will have Arie asking for special requests from his masseurs.

Actually, I am thinking if he is the bach, maybe he will get off lightly. Since as F2 they did their digging and publishing then??? Hoping so...

I really appreciate your kind response. That's all I wanted to know.

just logic wrote:I may have missed it - does he now have a sponser? If so, good for him, it's what he's wanted for awhile now, to get back in the race car. The last race scheduled was for (I think) Sept. 15th and unless there is another series other than the Indy one it shouldn't interfere with filming since I thought I read the M&G wasn't scheduled until the 20th or thereabouts.

My personal opinion is once you put yourself out there, you are full game for anyone. So if there is stuff, it will be dug up and found. Kind of like pigs looking for truffles. The only reason I can see it being a bit less possibly for RE(if he is the next TB) would be if his junk has already been dug up. Even then it could be recycled. D R A M A sells.
It takes the focus off our own dysfunctional lives.
