Courtney Robertson & Humberto Preciado - Bachelor 16 - Discussion

Puh, Courtney took advantage of Arie's naivete and took him on a date. After, she cried that people were being hateful towards her and Arie stepped up to the plate in her defense like the gentleman he is. Big whoop.

THe only interesting thing in Bach Nation is that JEM finally broke up and their totally fake relationship has come to light just as we all predicted months ago. Congratulations, ladies! We are psychic!

LMAO

LOL, I like Arie, but come on! The man is a 30 y/o man who has had his fair share of women and is LOVING the attention.

Also, is it really necessary for Jef and Arie to make plans on a public social media website? Can't they use phones? I'm guessing it's b/c Arie wants to stay relevant and knows that a Jef mention will help.

Bachelor/ette - land may revolve in its own cesspool world but I'm not naive enough to think that this wasn't timed. The media was chomping at the bit for her to fail. What better way to take off some of the heat before the announcement was made?

I saw right through those tweets. They're most likely calling and texting each other, but take to Twitter to make day plans?

Yeah, could just be a coinkydink but Emily was faking the funk throughout he whole season...It's all spin baby

I'm sorry, but I just don't think that enough people care for them to time this. This was relevant news for about a week, and only to the 1% Bachelor obsessed fans. Once the season ends, most viewers don't care about anyone except the final couple. And, honestly, most people don't even care about the JEM breakup - it was a small article for most magazines and I think people are very used to Bachelor breakups.

The truth is people in the Bachelor Nation hook up all the time, everywhere and with almost everyone - we just don't hear about it.

I didn't say it was a sound strategy. Most folks have written this show off, the producers do dumb ish all the time so it's plausible :myop:

I know RS talked about it, but it's REALLY interesting to me that Courtney was one of the privileged that was allowed a phone during her season. Was it because she was somewhat famous? Or was it because they knew she was F1 and gave her everything they could to make sure she stayed?

It seems like she wanted to leave at some point while they were filming Ben's season. Maybe being allowed to call home was why she agreed to stay.

And maybe she was allowed to call home because the season was dull, the lead was uninteresting, and Courtney happened to be the only "drama" they had on the show so they could continue their story line of good vs. evil - and with in that continued humiliate Ben quest they had going on against him.

Taking Courtney off the show had no value to the producers. They needed her. And, if they knew that he was really interested in her and no one else - then they may have had no show to let her go. Ben is obstinate and would not have played the 'game' out to the end if he wanted no one. He was NOT their most cooperative lead. And because producers didn't even like him - even a little - it was great delight on their part to be sure that Courtney got the worst edit from beginning to end because it was another way to keep putting screws into Ben.

The offered the girl a phone because they needed her for "a show". It would not surprise me to learn that Courtney's handler even took the time to talk to her sister before she did, just to get her to agree to help talk her into staying. While some might look at it like a gesture of kindness - there is more truth in it being part of the manipulation. It is quite obvious the franchise doesn't care about the people - they''ve exploited many in order to get their shows - being nice to Courtney, granting her the pleasure of a phone call, helping her stay on the show so she can find love, etc.... is not even in character to how behind-the-scene stuff works.

Heck YEAH!!!
Rules are being broken all the time. All you have to do is look at last season---wait--were there any rules last season?
