Again they deny the high class escort rumours.
Her profile is still up on the escort website! Face blurred as per usual, but her profile remains...

That's bull. I work at shine and I know mostly none of this is true. Producers never pushed blake to do anything. Sam was definitely his first choice. The only thing mildly true about this is that blake is boring but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out

One comment, from someone that works at Shine, said this:

Interesting. Either way, this thing is so nuts... very entertaining for someone that was vanilla.

- He was told by the producers that the girls were also in it for the money/fame. So, he felt fine with what he was doing. They were all in it, so to speak.
- Laurina said the producers kept him away from the girls once they weren't filming so they didn't see him that much.
- Blake probably got too emotionally confused/invested in the bubble as time wore on. Couldn't tell what was reality from what was scripted. What he says is scripted, what he responded to was more off-script (e.g., when he asks Sam is she concerned about him coming to HTD, and her response, are YOU concerned? You can tell by his expression he wasn't expecting that response)
- His bewilderment concerning Sam "is this girl real?" is evidence of that.
- He was told to propose to Sam, he did. He probably had been told she was still in on it all. He had real feelings but not enough for marriage.
- He literally shuts-off after cameras stopped rolling. He just ran a marathon and he is done!
- He gets his mojo back to make the media rounds, keeps acting on the media rounds, but begins to realise that Sam actually did believe in it all and was not, as he had been led to believe, *in on it* and so freaked out and broke up with her.
- Blake realised that the player (him) had been played by the producers. Not everyone was *in it*. Thus, he fumbles around, cannot saying anything because it is lose-lose situation for him.

As for Louise?
- she is the only F4 girl he didn't cry over when leaving. If anything, they actually smiled. Probably a pact if they are together.
- she is the only one he didn't feel good enough for (in South Africa, he asked if she really  knew him, not the rolls royce, fancy dates Blake etc.) Her parents home was real, he knew Lisa's wasn't. Actually money. Would mother him more.
- Told by producers to take "two best friends" to the end: Lisa and Sam (makes for better tv)
- has real feelings for both (b/c in the bubble, emotionally confused what is real not real)
- Sam really does know him to his core, because their similar backgrounds. But Blake doesn't want more of what he has already had... Louise is something totally new and fresh.
- Even Sam says Louise would be perfect for him. Aside from all the gay/bi/unstable/crazy gossip, Louise definitely is more vanilla like him.

Just my thoughts... *shrug*

Wow, this definitely would make sense. Apart from the way he seemed to be falling for Sam much more than Louise and the others - which could just have been his good acting. Very insightful, Allaboutlove!

Wow Braxton! What website would that be?

Every time Blake mentioned the girls being on this ‘journey’ with him, each girl should have gotten 20,000 frequent flyer points. You’re not a hobbit mate, this isn’t middle earth and you’re not on a journey.  I mean sure it did end up with you grabbing a ring but that’s by-the-by.
