You're correct.

I have been one of the folks strongly doubting the video of Nick on plane. I did some googling to understand just how much web traffic Reality Steve has coming to his site. I have to say that I was shocked to read: "By 2011, Reality Steve brought in enough traffic for Carbone to live entirely off ad revenue. Currently, Reality Steve gets between 1-1.5 million unique monthly visitors and between 8-10 million monthly page views. Traffic is 10 to 15 times higher when the Bachelor shows are on the air."

Considering that Andi's premier attracted 7.17 million total viewers, a sizable percentage of Bachelorette viewers consider Reality Steve to be part of their viewing experience.

The article goes onto say:
Research has shown that, in some cases, people enjoy spoiled stories as much as their un-ruined counterparts. This might be especially true for a show like The Bachelor. It’s dull, predictable fluff, and as based in reality (and nearly as scripted) as any daytime soap. Reality Steve readers routinely tell Carbone they wouldn’t watch the show un-spoiled.

“Surivor has a lot of strategy,” he said. “If you know who’s going home that episode, it becomes moot to watch. But The Bachelor is so silly, spoilers couldn't ruin it.”

So there you have it ... maybe TPTB just don't care anymore about spoilers and are giving 21 percent of their viewers what they want ... and RS has a small army of fans who are out there helping him stay in business.

If you go on this show you should be smart enough not to mix what you are trying to keep secret with your normal channels of social media. And what about the confidentiality contracts they signed?

And plus, text messages are private enough, something they are most likely more than familiar with. Chris and Des texted each other frequently during airing of the season, worst case scenario was him calling his guy friend "babe."

You know, this pple are young pple in love who are being kept apart for the stupid airing of the show. I bet you the last thing on their mind was being found out. Reminds me of Ashley and JP coming out of that hotel in Canada that made the tabloids then while the show was still airing. I bet wetpaint will pick up this snapchat- gate news. Hopefully, they will try creative snapchat usernames next time. silly lovebirds giggling

I would add, with the help of sleuthers. That is one of the reasons, this forum does not allow links to his site.

Where did you get this info?

by **GuardianAngel** Wed Jun 11, 2014 12:30 am

They may have an idea of 4-5 picks on who they would like to be the bachelor, but I don't think IMO they know for sure who that will be at this stage of airing.

by MVMom39forever Wed Jun 11, 2014 12:31 am

^^^ Yes, of course ... lots of sleuthers ... not just RS. He's just the one that gets the most credit in the tabloids. I just found it surprising that such a large percentage of viewers are watching the Bachelor spoiled and are actively sleuthing ...

Hey, she's a "strong independent confident" woman and he's a grown ass man. A match made in Bull Dog heaven. giggling
