I think a lot of the women cry in their IMO's.  The producers choose which ones their going to show to further the storyline.

It's the poor me i have kids that's annoying to me.

After last season and dealing with Juelia.....I am over the single parents that cry and whine about the sacrifice they made and missing their children.  If Amanda is struggling with her choice of leaving her two very young daughters at home while she goes on a reality TV show...she has her answer.  By all means please go home.

Comparing the military to going on the bachelor? Just no, sorry.

Great way to not miss your kids, don't leave them. Or when you realize you do, go home to them. Don't cry about it and play the sympathy card. Sorry, but on this show, unlike real life, I have no respect for single parents. JMO.

Lauren is with Amanda again via Amanda's snapchat.

Everyone deserves a chance at love, but casting of women with 2 kids really "ups the ante".   Not only is Amanda invested, Ben has to consider the fact that she has not one, but two kids at home.  That puts more pressure on him and like he said, they are already part of the relationship.  No one wants to see Amanda cry or whine about her kids at home.  TPTB should have a show for "Mrs. Bachelorette" or "Bachelor - Divorcee" so the contestants can bring the kids and have play dates.  JJ Lane is a big fan of Amanda, per his tweets.  They would be great contestants for the first show.  JMO.

Although it's early, I'm a big fan of Amanda.

blue @bachelor_in   @jjhlane who's your fave girl from ben's season?

@jjlane

If the Bach alums are pulling for anyone to be Bette it's Amanda.
Even on After Buzz they all said Amanda for Bette.
CH keeps bringing her up on Bachelor Live and even CS tweeting about her.
Feels like a set-up, imo.
Darn, I really don't want to watch a single mother of two as Bette.
(Good thing there's Bette AU S2 and Bette Canada S1 this year!)

Can you imagine all the sympathy and support she'll get after Olivia supposedly calls her a teen mom?

I'm glad she is getting a lot of support but I don't want her to be the next 'ette. She doesn't have the personality to be a lead, she's lovely but introverted. How many guys would they have to go through to find 25 REALLY interested in a single mom with two kids? Also, I'm not crazy about single parents on this show as lead or contestant as much as I like Amanda.

or even 1! How many were there actually interested in a single mom in Emily's season...?

If I recall Arie and Jef were the only two on Emily's season who had actually dated a single mom. However that doesn't necessarily mean it was their preference to date one.

I just think Amanda as the lead is a lousy idea. Her personality is weak, she's oversensitive, and for me personally I was highly annoyed over her whiny tears about Olivia getting the GDR. I won't be the least bit surprised if it's her though. TPTB aren't strangers to picking a dud. I hope they say no to the bargain basement Emily Maynard.  

IA blu - for me it has nothing to do with her children. I just don't like when they expose the children. Everyone deserves to fall in love. For me, it's her personality. She's cute, and sweet, but she doesn't come across as a strong confident woman.

What does she do again for work? Can't remember.
