ITA HGL!! great point

i love shiri so glad she's the actress for this --- combine two things i enjoy

I finally watched the first episode. It's unbelievable how "real" this is, even if dramatized.

blu thanks so much for the link to the first 4 epis goshh this show is goooood!!

and there you have it...ladies, ladies, ladies and gentlemen
a season built around the villain brittany

just watched up the 4th episode, i'm hooked!

I will have to wait the next 3 weeks to see, if someone doesn't upload them on stream sites before.
Me too Emusha, I really like Shiri (and it nice to see how an actress develops her "skills" and "pace" over time, she's got far since Roswell). I also find Constance Zimmer a wonderful actress, with very quick-paced delivery, almost "directorial" stance (or maybe I've seen enough of her roles as a lawyer) and perfect for this part.

I'm not seeing the link to first four episodes? Can someone pls repost? Thank you.

It's posted in "Links" thread ... if you're in USA it should work if not, I don't know for the Canadians.

Watched the episodes and have to say this show is hilarious.
Everybody playing everybody no matter how high or low on the food chain.
The lead/bachelor is such a player/manipulator himself but he owns it.

I think this show highlights something important: shows like Bach/Bette work best for those who don't take themselves too seriously and have a sense of humor while playing the "game" -- vital, imo, in not taking this show too seriously.
Without those two things, I don't see how contestants think they are going to be able to sign a contract that states they will be edited any which way and yet take this as just "words".
It's not a threat, it's a promise. TPTB have a show to make.

Ultimately, my sympathy for contestants has waned drastically this past year and this show has helped it take a big nosedive.
Like Athena said, all she cared about was "getting my name out there".
Hello, SM world. That's what it's all about.
Goal in life for so many of these contestants is to get followers and a little blue "verified" mark next to their name.
Hope Twitter/IG, etc are around in the next 40 years and these people archive their accounts, because if they're gone, so is all their "fame".

I watched the first 3 shows and frankly, I'm finding it "unreal". I was hoping for a realistic approach to the goings on in making a "reality" show. There is some of that, but the people on the crew seem to have more issues than the drama they're trying to stir up with the bachelor and the women. With a crew like that, it's no wonder the show that's produced can't help but be a mixed up mess. Seems as though they're trying to sabotage any good relationships that come out of these shows as revenge for their bad choices in life and relationships.

^its a little ironic, isn't it?

i mean this is a scripted show on the lifetime network and not a documentary. that would be entirely different. i think they are supposed to show what happens on shows like bach/ette and you see some of that, but they also have to have their scripted storyline of the producers/crews of how f'd up mentally they can get. after all, this is kind of their story (past producer).

Not many folks around here any more were around FORT when I was actively "sleuthing." I liked to build (as all now do with no help from me, LOL) the filming schedule, who was where. I never exposed my sources or methods (duh) but did have a few friends/posters with whom I shared my finds, including Kasha.

SO, imagine my delight in watching this clip to see the EXACT replica of the conference room, post it colors, approach, etc. to the Jason as Bachelor season photos I had of this exact board layout. I can still picture what it said: LEGO park date, etc.

Just reinforces my absolute conviction that Unreal says that it is only loosely based on The Bachelor, and is all imagination, but I think this is going to be a fictionalized version of reality in so many ways.

That same season, I also had (and Kasha too will recall) located pictures of the cast party post wrap in New Zealand, way before Elan went off the wagon. Supposedly, Harrison was quite the playboy.

And in terms of limo rides, I'm not sure anyone had it worse than Amanda and Chelsea driving driving driving around some tiny Caribbean island over hill and around corners until they finally gave the desired reaction.
