So the answer is NO. TBTP is not an employment agency. They do PR for their Bachelor and pre chosen F1 if they're resume's are not impressive.


There's a saying, fool me once, shame on you.. fool me out of habit and... nothing I still watch the show, Im just not a fool anymore.

Pre-chosen F1? What good actors the F1 and lead are. And liars, too. Do they take a class beforehand?

How nice for them to get their lives all smoothed over. Although it doesn't seem to have worked for Jef. He's back to square one.

NO, they have assigned producers telling them what to say and when to say it and if they don't show enough "emotion" for the camera, the "emotion" is brought out by their producers.

Of course they're liars...even MF admitted the show is scripted (his 20/20 interview) and yes, they get their lives smoothed over, it's one of the perks for allowing yourself to be associated with this franchise.

But, I do have to disagree on the good actor part...they all scream fake to me.

Jef is back to square one due to his own failings.

That's not true. I know for a fact, that's not true.

And if people think like that, it's a wonder they watch the show at all.

Jef is back to square one because Emily was the fake, for sure, and it has nothing to do with this show. And I do believe he was in it for the "wrong reasons". As was she.

If you want to find some truth on some of these guys you just have to look for it, it's pretty easy. :Smiley:
Most fans want to live the fairytale along with the lead so they make excuses or close a blind eye to what is truth or not. Nothing wrong with that if you feel a need to do that.
I posted some stuff along time ago before we knew that BF was said to be F1. I won't repeat it.
Just because someone is F1 does not make him special and in fact we have seen in the past when the couple split all the stuff comes out, if not before.
There will be more coming out about BF. Stay tuned...
I wonder if Des is starting to see the real guy or will it happen after the season is done airing.
One more thing, I think it is funny that these guys want to be something they are not, think that nothing will come out about them. Maybe years ago but not anymore. Thanks to the internet.

I think if you have info, with proof (since you say they are easy to find online, you should just post it.
IMHO Posts like the above are rather irritating, as they criticize both the contestants and the fans, but give nothing real, except "don't like him".
Sometimes it feels that just because they are F1 we should dislike them.

Unless proven otherwise, I choose to hope and have faith the lead and F1 can make it and are good people. Why would anyone wish Des chose a "lame duck"?

Wow.

Emily talked to F on the phone several times before her season even began filming.(this is not news--and yes, it is true) So she more than knew of F before she had contact with the other men on her season. Terms like "set-up" can be interpreted in many shades, but suffice it to say F was on a totally different playing field than the other 24 men at the Meat and Geek, since M had not only prior knowledge of Effie from Michele Money (as some posters suggested last summer!), but also spoke to him on the phone prior to the season.

Wow, Kasha. I'm kind of speechless. It figures.

I skipped out at the end of Emily's season and haven't really paid attention since. This so does not surprise me! Remember that video chat that Michelle & Graham did and graham awkwardly mentioned that he what type of guy emily liked, then there was a strange look between the two. I think that was the moment when I knew something was up with that season.

Nothing seems overly suspicious to me yet, so I'll reserve judgement. I was so hoping for another JP/Ashley season...

Bachelorette's Chris Harrison on Brian's Lie: This Is the BS People Deal with When Dating

A week after rapping about being on The Bachelorette for "the right reasons," one suitor proved he was the opposite but genuine when his girlfriend showed up to confront him.

On Monday's episode, Brian's apparent girlfriend Stephanie came to the mansion to confront him for being on the show. (She says she just thought her boyfriend was merely going away on a trip.) Joining the ranks of Wes from Jillian's season, Justin from Ali's season and Bentley from Ashley's season, Brian showed he had ulterior motives and was ultimately dismissed for his dishonesty.


Keep reading for Chris Harrison's take on the confrontation, why he thinks Juan Pablo is the current fan favorite and how Ben will continue to rub guys the wrong way.

How does someone get on the show with a girlfriend at home?
Chris Harrison: There are things you just aren't able to find [out]. We can vet the psychological profiles, do drug testing and test for STDs, but unless we have the time and the money to vet someone like a Chief Justice in the Supreme Court, you have to take their word as, "I'm single and available." And the thing about our show is that sadly it's not predicated on the fact that everyone is honest and true. We're hoping to find 25 great guys, but that's life and this is the bullsh-- people deal with trying to date.

So do you really believe her?
Harrison: I knew he was completely full of sh-- and trying to save himself [when] she had the exact dates of our production because he told her, "I'm going on this day and I'm finishing on this day." And this girl isn't Meryl Streep; you don't come up with that kind of emotion. People didn't see, but even before she walked in she was bawling, saying, "I don't know if I can do this, I don't want to see him." I was proud that she found the courage to purge herself for 30 minutes on this guy. He finally admitted they slept in the same bed the day before which basically means that the morning he left he was in bed with another woman, got up, grabbed his bags and came on to The Bachelorette. She was just duped, and to her credit they were taking a bit of a break, but she thought it was so he could "better himself."


Do you think he'll come to Men Tell All?
Harrison: I'd love to at least get his spin on it and find out why and what he was thinking. I'm not mad at the guy, I really don't care. Maybe he's not a bad guy and has been stuck in this horrible rut of a relationship and thought, "This is what I need to find something new."



Moving on to the group date, poor Brooks got hurt during dodgeball.
Harrison: Brooks got really hurt, and as soon as I saw the look on his face I knew. It was disgusting. He definitely wasn't faking it.

Brad opened up about having a son. Lots of heavy stories this season!
Harrison: This is an open and honest group and I think they feel like they can tell her anything. Word had spread [in the house] that people are talking about their issues, so then the next guy thinks, "I need to open up or I'm out of here." It's an emotional group of men.


On the other group date, Juan Pablo won some alone time with Des, and I don't think we had heard him try to speak yet!
Harrison: If we have a fan favorite right now it's Juan Pablo. He's actually a really good guy. But Des loves her some Juan Pablo, and the question that she doesn't really care to answer right now is, "Is there more to this guy than his accent and body?" But right now she doesn't really care.
Kasey's one-on-one date had all the elements against him, but he still got a rose.
Harrison: The problem with Kasey is that he's so charismatic and the guys all love him and he's so good around the group, but then on the one-on-one he kind of struck out. I think she chalked this up to giving him a Mulligan because that was a completely different guy than she's heard about from us and what she's seen in the group setting. I think she's giving him a do-over because the date wasn't that great, but she's not ready to kick him aside.

Poor Brandon was so shocked he wasn't given the rose.
Harrison: With him it was too much too soon. It's one thing if you pour your heart out and tell her you like her already, but there's a line. We all know that guy or girl where it's like, "Slow down! It's just the second date. I don't need to meet your parents and start picking out [china] patterns." You hope for his sake he'll see this and think, "Maybe this is why I'm still single."

You said the drama won't die down after this week. What can you tease?
Harrison: Ben is the immediate focus . He's really rubbing guys the wrong way, and it's obvious Des likes him. He's just doing everything he can to rub the guys' nose in it. But it goes beyond him too. We're just skimming the surface.

What did you think of this week's episode?

The Bachelorette airs on Mondays at 8/7c on ABC.
