So is she starting a tshirt company? Or something?

No. She is a marketing manager for BollyX.

In recent Bachelorette history Des, Ash and Ali would fit that description.

Yeah, they clearly prefer the vixens lately.

Yeah 3 vixens in a row is too much of the SAME thing. Would've loved to watch Caila fall in love. Hope she finds love in NYC.

I enjoy watching Caila in her own real life show as she goes through real life adventures with no edit and no Fless.
She is always the star      

Yeah, I really think Fleiss will stop at nothing to create drama, and every lead (esp the Bachelorettes) will come out much worse. Is it me or do they tend to screw them over much worse than the guys? Ugh.

I don't think JoJo is a vixen at all, I think she is sweet and genuine. I don't think JoJo will be like Andi or Kaitlyn at all. JMO.
And I didn't really see Caila as the sweet genuine girl next door....

Nope, not just you thinking that.   And admit it's getting old and one reason I find myself less and less interested in watching.

I think I would say exploit but that's a fine distinction from screw over. It's unfortunate - and not logical - but many in the viewing public may accept a man sewing wild oats with a wink and a nod and be scandalized when a woman does the same thing. The show exploits that and has certainly used that to embarrass the last two bachelorettes. IMO they would have tried the same thing with Caila had she been the bachelorette so she dodged a bullet by not getting it.

This is a fact—on my TV anyway.   Fleiss is the biggest chauvinist. Just look to the concept of this show he created. And how many seasons of The Bach were produced before The Bachette was ever added? IMO the women leads do not receive the same level of respect that the men do.

I don't see Joelle as a vixen either. I saw her as compassionate, kind and genuine on Ben's season. I hope you're right about her not being portrayed as Andi and Kaitlyn were but my suspicious nature along with the history of this show and her obvious sex appeal, tells me that Piggy Fleiss won't be able to help himself and instead of portraying her sexiness as one of her qualities, I'm afraid her edit will be unfortunately one-sided.      

I agree Lucas, Caila dodged a bullet. As refreshing as it would've been to see Caila as The Bachelorette, I honestly think she is lucky to be passed over. I'm fairly sure she will come to realize that someday.

I think RS kind of killed Caila's fan base and chances with his pre-season "insight" that she was fake. In reality, she seems like a smart, accomplished, kind woman. I never took her seriously because RS clouded my vision. I'm sure I'm not alone. I kinda hate when RS pulls that crap. He should stick to straight up spoilers. Not insert other people's opinions, because once RS says something, unfortunately it becomes Gospel to the masses. And frankly, though he gets elimination order and the winner right most of the time, everything else is usually just his opinion, or other people's opinion that get filtered to him. Not fact. Just like the F2 woman could never be the 'ette. His reasoning was just stupid, but because he said it, people took it as fact.
