I'm not sure who Olivia's main producer is but her friend posted about Olivia's edit and wrote her blog post directed to/at Elan.

Regardless of the above, it's much more presentable, pleasant etc to take the high road. This situation on our screen is out of her control at this point, so may as well be gracious and put a smile on it.

Half of me wonders if TPTB want to turn Olivia into a sympathetic character due to the intense mockery which I'll admit makes me feel bad for her.

BUT... then I think about what's coming Ep 6 and taking Olivia on a 2on1 to get date indicates to me that they want her to be disliked and the audience not to sympathize with her since it will be Ben sending her home.

I agree Kasha. Haven't exactly been an Olivia fan but admit to being impressed how she has handled sm (self deprecating humor) and the blog is the high road.

I agree that she is handling herself very well on SM. But saying they wouldn't take anyone on the show unless they are looking for love is a stretch of the imagination in anyone's mind!! It truly made me practically spit my coffee out.

Again having followed the show since inception and having access to convos with past cast, I have to wonder if Olivia was not presented with a sketched out plan for her character before filming. 
She quit her job before filming. Timing quite good for a semi negative edit if you don't want it to reflect badly on your job and what it represents. 
Do I think she had any idea what she was truly getting into? No. But most of us seldom do.

Hmmmmm   if he is then he's fooled me to date. Olivia got on my nerves and was hard to be likeable but she doesn't deserve to be manipulated like she has been. Someone went waaaay too far.

Add: Ok sent Elan a DM asking him if he was Olivia's main producer. Doubt he will respond but I had to try.

I feel like CH (on week 2 or 3 of the Live show) alluded that things were going to change for her. He said something like we should wait and see. I'll have to go back and watch to see exactly what he said that gave me that impression.

Maybe she is still naive about the show.


I noticed there was a pic on twitter of her at LAX on Monday. Wonder what that was about?

Well IF she lands a great gig because of all of this, I would feel very happy for her.

A job interview or maybe meeting with production about BIP.  She'd be TV gold for them.
I wonder who in the franchise she'd be interested in besides Ben

I hope it isn't Bach related.

I hope this is what is going on with Olivia rather than her ruin her career being on TB. Maybe she is trying to get on the good side of the ABC producers.
Contestants have moved on from this show to have public careers.
