Bachelor 19 - Whitney Bischoff - Discussion #3

^^ Like I said just keeping it real. I think Whit looks beautiful and probably deserves better. IMO ;)

It will be interesting to hear what "news" RS has. He has heard something and keeping it close to the vest until ATFR. ;)

Exactly.

But he is holding back and has decided to "share" after the show. Might not be anything. Maybe he has already shared with US magazine.

RS has teased he has something to reveal after finale and won't release it sooner because it would only lead to a lot of speculation. Refusing to release it sooner has led to... speculation about what the big reveal is.

Whatever he says he has and is holding back can't be that solid imo if releasing it would only lead to speculation. And when he does release it, it will lead to what?..... speculation.

^^^ I think he has heard a lot and what he reveals will hurt Chris's reputation. ;) ;) JMHO of course.

RS reminds me of a dirty, old man flasher. He keeps promising he has something to reveal. When he finally does, it usually not only disappoints, but is comedic.

IMO it was Whitney from early on also.

The format of the show is fraught with all sorts of danger. Either:

1 - the lead knew for a long time, lied and led everyone else on
or
2 - the lead really had no clue until the very end and everyone had an equal chance in a close decision

Neither is a "free ride" but I think that option 2 leaves the show, the lead, and everyone else with a greater sense of dignity. The only one "damaged" is F1 and I think by the time the FRC airs, F1 knows the truth and no longer questions where they stand. If they still question then they didn't want to be with the lead in the first place (and I'd bet many of us could point to at least one season where that was exactly the case) and it was never going to work out.

In any event the show seems to be gravitating more and more to an "option 2" kind of ending as the story line and this season is no different.

I think this is a clue for the Whitney column because the reference to people wanting to take pics of them reminds me of their mural date - "wants" not "will want"

"I'm really happy [with my decision]," Chris tells People. "We're both just looking forward to when it's over. It'll be refreshing to be together and just plan things together and do things like the movies, even though it's going to be a little weird because everybody in God's creation recognizes and wants pictures with us. It's just going to be refreshing to get on with life together."

Good point!

^^^ I think RS reveals things and does give a rat's as# about it hurting anyone. What he reveals about Chris will more than likely hurt Chris's reputation and TPTB reputation but let's face it, TPTB don't care and as long as they have ratings and are making money, all is good.

Regarding RS being wrong with his predictions, we only have to go back 2 years and relive all that his bad predictions about Des.  
1. He said she wouldn't be The Bachelorette
2. We all know what a mess his spoilers were for her season
3. He said Des & Chris would never get married.  

I'd actually be shocked if he would predict that any final couple would make it to the altar.  I don't think it has anything to do with who is chosen in the end.  It has more to do with RS going with the odds and his desire to crow about being right somewhere down the line.
