ATFR (Live) - 8/05 - Bachelorette 9 - Discussion and Spoilers

Juan Pablo is winning their poll by a landslide. I think I agree.

I don't care who is the next Bachelor though. Not really and it doesn't make sense to give the public a chance to say anything unless it's in the contract that the lead is given to the Final 2 person to say yes or no to.

Or is it just too early?

Quoting myself   from August 2, a couple pages back in this thread, since it's not very often that my speculation is right.  

I remember that Jillian was announced at the Women Tell All right? Or at the ATFR?

The Bachelorettes are usually announced at the ATFR from the previous Bachelor season because filming starts so quickly after that. Usually they wait to announce the next Bachelor til much closer to the start of filming, generally on DWTS or around the start of DWTS. For reference, Sean was announced as the Bachelor on September 25th last year.

Has someone who was the F2 person ever been announced on the ATFR? Right after we have watched them get dumped?

Yes, this is why I think Juan Pa also.
Chris filming in Seattle does make you think though...

RS is going to need to work fast to get the bachelor spoiler!

I honestly think they haven't come to a final decision yet I think they are still tossing all the ideas around.

For what? The Bachelor? I am sure he has to be signed on the dotted line before they'd announce it.

I do remember it..I always liked him and so looked forward to his season...what a terrible disappointment..he really messed up.

I don't remember that....They brought Ben back..it wasn't at his own ATFR.....it was maybe at the AFTR for The Bachelor show that just ended after The Bachlorette or maybe i"m wrong. I just remember them bringing him out after I hadnt seen him in awhile cuz I thought. oh god not that cocky ba$tard.

That is correct, Ben was not announced until after the AFTR.

I think Ben was announced as "The Bachelor" on the "Bachelor Pad" Finale...I remember the Bachelor Pad contestants were coming up to him at the end to congratulate him I guess.
