There have been so many ex-leads that have said pretty much the opposite, that the producers can't MAKE you do anything but they will bargain with you or even threaten you with a bed edit to make certain decisions, whether it's keeping a controversial person on longer or keeping a "potential future lead" on longer. I remember Jason saying in a podcast that Andi let someone "dramatic" go early (can't remember who) and he said that that told him that she was someone who wasn't easily pushed by TPTB and fought back on what she wanted to do. I can definitely believe that, but I don't buy Andi's statement that the producers don't tell her anything. This also doesn't have to do with Andi, but I don't really believe that Dylan or Brian were ever top contenders to be the next Bachelor like the producers told him. If it hadn't been Chris, I feel like Marcus would have been their next contender (or Arie, obviously).

Anyways, no matter how I feel about Andi, one thing I've always believed is that she is a good judge of character. The fact that she kept Nick even though everyone was telling her that he wasn't a good guy showed me that she had good instincts. It also says a lot that none of her top 6 guys were in it for the fame and/or had a girlfriend back home.

Dylan did say in a bragging tone that he made out with Andi.

Andi Dorfman was announced as the next guest for Mane’s “All Access” series of Q&A panels, set to speak on Thursday, April 16.

Senior film production major Charlotte Becker is excited about the possibilities of Dorfman’s appearance.

“With Andi, there are so many questions left unanswered because of her sudden split with her fiancé, Josh. While a lot was clarified on Chris' Bachelor finale, I hope in a smaller, more intimate setting, Andi will be able to open up and give real advice to girls and guys trying to form relationships in our technology-driven, social media-addicted society,” said Becker.

Did Dylan really say that the producers told him and Brian that they were contenders?

Andi seems to be spending a LOT of time with Sharleen since she's moved to NYC.... lots of tweets and pics but none with Andi, Sharleen AND Andy, Sharleen's fiancee.... I wonder what that's about???  Since there were a number of pics of Sharleen, Andy and Nick... Hmmm??
