The Bachelorette - Season 12 - Potential Lead - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

Well, the tabloids have been pushing Andi for a whole year now! I guess what you're describing is kind of what BIP is like, though most ex-leads stay away from it because they're "too good" for it. It's crazy, because most of the ex-Bachelorettes are married or in serious relationships now. The only one that isn't is Andi, I believe, whereas a lot of the ex-Bachelors are unmarried.

I really hated the whole 2 Bachelorette thing. It took the power out of their hands and onto the guys. I don't think it was very popular so hope they never do it again.

Just no to Andi coming back.

I take it back. Immediately. Just say no to the Andi. CH might join in if Andi was tge bette. That'd be hilarious.

Yeah no thanks on two Bachelorettes again. I don't even care if the rejected one is someone I dislike and the one chosen is someone I like. It's bad enough being rejected by one man, but being rejected by multiple men when you were supposed to be the one in control?

And no thanks to anyone who has already been on this show twice which would include all the Bachelorettes. After the second time I'm already tired of seeing your face. Find something else to do with your life.

Haha! Could not agree more - I can't take another season of Andi.

Followed a link and saw clips from the roper / tanner wedding. Did not recognize Andi at first. Is she still a lawyer? Or is she trying to be Angelica Houston / Morticia Addams in a tan?? Put her in a black & red dress and she's a black widow. No desire to see her as bette again.

I have no desire to watch anyone for the third time. Doing something else with their life is a great suggestion! Does schilling more products, blogging / tweeting about the show and rolling full throttle with Bach Nation count? 

I don't see Andi wanting to come back. And who could blame her? The rolling cast of generic salesguys, personal trainers and disposable-job slackers is about all they are getting these days. A few professionals, but they are rare.

Andi wants a guy with money. And status. And power. Her days of toying with guys like Juan Pablo & Josh are over. She will be a dynamite trophy wife for some guy in a few years, but I can't see her wanting to be lead again.

I thought she was a great Bachelorette and still like her, so if she does decide to reinvent herself with the "Former lawyer follows her dreams to NYC to become a writer" and jump back in, I'll watch and cheer her on.

I just reallllllly don't want it to be Caila. I still see a lot of people on Twitter not liking her more than anyone else. And how much love is she going to get next week, if she is the one who get's mad at Ben or whatever? I know Andi got mad at JP, but he was not "Perfect Ben" , not at all.

If every viewer of this show was on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, then I would give weight to what those people think.

But thousands and thousands of people that watch this show do not Tweet.  Or use Instagram.  Or even Facebook.  The entire viewing audience is NOT all on social media.  What THOSE random social media people say does not represent everybody watching.  So why should we care what they say? I certainly don't.

Ben is certainly Not Perfect.  I am still firmly on the Caila for Bachelorette train.  She has an interesting background, lovely family and her season as Bachelorette would most likely provide lots of interesting travel and elevated level of educational and cultural dates.  She also would provide the ideal answer to finally having a diverse Lead as the Bachelorette.  Fingers crossed ABC/TPTB use their brains on this nobrainer decision.

I just don't see Calia being able to hold a season on her own. She seems so young (and that's coming from a married 25 year old) and comes across as a bit naive. I know, I know, the edit doesn't do her any favors but I just don't see how they would make it through a whole season of her pretending to like 24/25 guys.
