This break up is so messy. I hope Sam and Blake get to actually talk to each other, hash it out properly so they can end things in a civil way so this doesn't become media fodder. From what we could tell, they hadn't seen each other since they filmed the finale. Couldn't they wait after the finale aired to talk face-to-face about breaking up or making up or whatever, especially since they were an engaged couple? I'm convinced their break-up happened over a phone or a Skype call. Seems like petty high school drama to me, drama that I was involved with when I was fifteen haha.

The break up must have been sudden and out of the blue for Sam to have the reaction she's having now. The statement Ten made was very much written from Blake's side of things.

Very, very messy!  This is the Sam we saw in episode 8 when she let everyone know she was not okay with games being played having new girls coming in... 

I will be interested to find out if Sam says anything to the effect that she was willing to talk with him on air, conduct inteview together and that Blake didn't (thus Sam saying on her Twitter... Blake is calling the shots).

I could TOTALLY see her willing to let it be known on camera WITH Blake beside her ...exactly what went down. She has no filter ...

"Blake is calling all the shots" ... meaning she was willing to do ATFR (I believe they had broken up long before this time) and yet Blake was NOT willing to do ATFR... 

That makes him look bad because he is hiding something...

It may also mean he doesn't want to embarrass Sam if it was something to do with on her part. Just saying.

Whether that was weeks ago, or recently, we don't really know for sure do we? If it was last week, I would think there has to be a good reason, it seems like an abrupt decision from what we are hearing.

I don't recall reading any rumours that they split, or maybe I missed it, but that's another reason why it sounds abrupt to me.

I blame the producers of the show and not necessarily Blake at this point for the way everything is being handled. It's not like he would have a say on how they handle it.

GA, that's a fair point especially with that interview that Blake did when an anonymous caller was challenging him that one of the remaining F5 was an escort & that Blake knew about it & Blake said he hadn't seen his F1 yet so he couldn't tell what any of the F5 was up to. Then we later had Laurina on another interview corroborating what the anonymous caller had said that there's been talk amongst the girls about it. But it just never occurred to me that it could be Sam (still don't believe she could be the one) but that was a weird speculation on the F5.

Just 6 weeks since filming ended? Didn't I read after 3 weeks, he did an interview and he didn't even see her yet? This is insane.

taping ended aug 25th-27 so something around 6 weeks is the time they've been apart - we don't know if the finale was a lot of time before that... around 2-3 weeks after the end of filming (sept 11-17th) he gave several interviews... filming might have ended a few days after the FRC taping. this is all VERY fresh. around sept 18th the anonymous caller to a radio show put in a tip that one of the 4 girls is an escort of some sort -- were there any interviews with blake after that?? - i don't recall any but I do recall there was one scheduled with him for a radio show that i was waiting on - on a thursday morning - that never happened...

IA california. If he still hadn't even seen her after 3 weeks of filming where does the trying part come into play?
