SO, going by this which is fact and would only change if something truly happened where the lead wasnt decided by that time (which I don't buy) I feel that (most likely) Sean was always the choice and this Fleiss BS about not knowing, is just to keep the hype up.

I think that there is no chance RS would be soooooooo sure of himself (concerning Arie) unless he absolutely knows something. I mean if he is wrong it would take away so much credibility and he knows that, i just don't think he would be so confident if it was just something he was wishing for.

i believe Kacie B mentioned that she didnt know who TB is until she was about to leave home to do filming. Apparently, this is the common practice, except for last Em season. they decided to announce it early, due to Ricki, i suppose.But i agree with you, RS seems know something, from Sean camp, that he is absolutely getting into the show

The info I had is from someone close to me who had a good friend make it quite far in casting and she was told if picked, she would know who the Bach was at that time. Maybe they said that thinking the bachelor would be decided by then, idk. Either way, I really feel Fleiss decided long ago. ugh, I wish he'd just share it!

I just do not have full confidence until I obtain an official confirmed response, and I have not got that yet. I thought I did but it was taken back, and there has to be a reason for that happening. I do not know what it is though.

This could be perceived entirely the opposite way. Roberto is having a fun final fling before heading off to Bach-land and possbily getting engaged. Remember, once he's the Bach, he's not gettting laid for ~8 wks (until FDs, and that's if he goes there then.)

LOL that's what I would do ;)

Haha! True! I hadn't thought of it that way

Unless, of course, you are Bachelor Ben and decide to go skinny dipping about 1/3 through filming with the girl you fell in lust with on night 1 ...
