Can't blame producers without blaming us for without us viewers, the show wouldn't be produced!

I don't have a problem with the extra proposals ... it's all part of the experience, for both participants and viewers. The more the merrier, I say!

I look forward to the season where the F2 gets down on one knee to propose and is rejected, only for the F1 not to propose! How would that be for poetic justice?? I'm sure if the show doesn't get cancelled before it can happen, it will.

If it weren't for the spoiler that Desiree is engaged I'd believe that's what happens this season.

That's what I don't get. Someone who does me wrong doesn't remain a friend, and they all seem to still have good relationships with these producers. Don't all of these contestants and leads talk among themselves afterwards? This part of the production of the show is what I would really like to know! I wish one of them would really tell the inside scoop, but they are probably under gag order.

Except for a handful, they do not all have good relationships or even continuing relationships with the "producers" after their seasons and/or gag periods is over.

I don't know .... I follow the producers on twitter and a ton of past contestants have great and close relationships with Elan, Peter, Cassie, Claudia, Andrew and Amy. Even people who are edited poorly like Courtney Roberston ... she goes on vacations with Bachelor Producer Amy Bean! They all seem to follow, talk and tease each other and even hang out sometimes outside of the show! On the whole, it seems like contestants largely like the producers after their season is over. For example Sarah Herron and Lindsay Yenter are always posting pics of Elan and talking about him and how much they miss him!

And over the seasons there are plenty more that are far enough removed from their 15 minutes and willing to say otherwise. Just saying.
Look at how many over all the years, that actually attended Cassie and Peter's wedding a year ago. A handful of pretty recent players.
Amy Bean was actually a cast person initially--so her connections play both sides of the fence.
Comparing a handful who currently are not outside many seasons of the TB umbrella and who are still benefiting from monetary appearances to hundreds who are not and say pppffffft and good riddance and received nothing from the franchise but a skewed edit are not the same beast.

I thought RS said she chose Brooks but he didn't propose?

Doesn't really matter if Des got a 3rd proposal...the point is she's only accepting the proposal of her F1 (Brooks) and the rest get their hearts broken,the last of which would be the F2, Chris in this case. :bigsigh:

I didn't say a 3rd proposal. There's nothing surprising about the 2 final guys proposing.

Jillian got 2 proposals and one almost proposal (ring in the pocket).

She was actively pushing for 3 guys to fall for her .

It seems like Des will actually have 3 guys fall for her.

...................Jillian got 2 proposals and one almost proposal (ring in the pocket)......

Kiptyn stated he never had any intention of proposing to Jillian. The ring may have been in the pocket but he had absolutely no thoughts in the direction of marrying her. That's my recollection.

Kyptyn couldnt get himself proposing to a woman he`s been living with for almost 3 years (?) IRL *cough2 Tenley*..let alone a mere 2 months ON the show ..lol

Too true!

Not meaning to but just for discussion sake - Chris is getting his story arch rising in Episode 3. Traditionally (well not the last 2 seasons with Jef and Cat getting late 1st 1on1 dates) that has been the date positions that most F1s (Ed, Roberto, Melissa, JP) have had their time with the lead.
Episode 2 (first round of dates) has had the distinction of having the next lead feature heavily like Jake, Jillian, Ali and even Des.
