Bachelor - Bachelorette International - Former Leads - Contestants - Updates - Discussion

I was looking for positive updates for Georgia Love and curious to see what was going on with her and Lee since the last situation. She has started a sleepware business, they just bought a house, great pics with Lee, but then this.

Georgia Love is slammed by a Channel Seven colleague for chastising the newsroom over grammar in leaked emails... after 'racist' video scandal saw her dumped from an on-air role
Georgia was shamed by a senior reporter for correcting the newsroom over the incorrect use of the word 'surgeries' in an email titled 'grammar note' this week.

Unvaccinated Sam Frost flaunts her fit figure in activewear on the set of Home And Away - as Channel Seven confirms all staff MUST be double-vaxxed against Covid-19 by January

According to a report in the Herald Sun on Friday, Director of Production at Seven West Media Andrew Backwell sent out an email to staff stating the network will 'only engage fully vaccinated presenters, cast and crew'.  

A Seven spokesperson told the publication: 'To provide the safest possible work environment for cast, crew and presenters, Seven Productions have made the decision to only engage those who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, taking effect in January next year.

While the network would not comment on individuals, the mandate is likely to affected Sam who recently stated that she was not vaccinated.

Sadly there are a lot of stories of that outcome for many.

Apparently Sam F has decided she will get the jab after all (to avoid getting sacked from H & A). The anti-vaxxers are not impressed and are calling her a sellout.  So she's successfully managed to piss off people on both sides of the vax debate.  Quite an achievement!  

 Sam backflipped on her previous anti-vax stance on Tuesday, revealing she will be getting vaccinated but not until after Seven's 'no jab, no job' deadline.

She will be fully vaccinated by late February - about seven weeks after the network's vaccine mandate for all presenters, cast and crew comes into effect on January 10.

Because Sam won't be allowed on the Palm Beach set until she's double vaxxed, her character Jasmine Delaney will be 'written out temporarily', she said.

The former Bachelorette explained she wasn't able to get the jab sooner because of an unspecified 'medical procedure booked in for January'.

You can’t make this sh*t up!

Ciarran Stott, our favorite little man wh*re, is going to show up as an intruder on Swedish Bachelorette that starts airing next week.
Swedish Bachelor and Bachelorette were filmed back-to-back in Greece this spring, so when he arrived at the hotel, he happened to meet the angry but not so heartbroken F3 from the Bachelor, right after she had been eliminated. They ended up spending the night together.

I can’t imagine any national franchise being trashier than the Swedish one, partly because of the casting, partly because production seems to have no boundaries at all. The two bachelors this year were pretty decent guys though.

Steph and Laura from Jimmy’s season have gone through and recaptioned a lot of their Insta pics, slagging off the show, Jimmy and their non disclosure agreements, which is pretty funny.
Will be interesting to see if they do the same to next years contestants, I don’t really think that managing the contestants social media has added anything to the show, although I suppose it means production doesn’t have to worry about anyone going too rogue while the show is on the air.

Interesting move.

She had her heart broken by Jimmy Nicholson on this year's The Bachelor.

But Jacinta' Jay'  Lal is giving the series another go - this time in another country.

Replying to a fan who asked if she would date another Bachelor star, the New Zealand-born beauty revealed she is planning to jet off to Europe to star in the Greek version of the reality dating series.

Sadly behind a paywall (my uni gives access)
Jamie Doran lawsuit delayed

Here's a snippet:

Doran, 40, appeared on Channel 10’s now axed dating show Bachelor in Paradise last year as well as Angie Kent’s season of The Bachelorette the year prior.

He said his grievances go beyond his “villain edit” and he has enlisted the help of high-powered Sydney lawyer Keith Redenbach in his pursuit for compensation.

“Once the review is completed, my lawyers and I will move onto the personal injury claim in court against Warner Bros.,” he said.

...

“I have been receiving $1000 a week compensation since July 2020. It has been a long, difficult road, but I’m doing this for all past, present and future contestants who these production companies manipulate and effectively ruin their lives, so it’s worth the time and effort.”

@leavers thanks for posting.

Here's DM's article.

Interesting to see where this goes and if based on the outcome if it starts a precedent. Jamie seems serious in this development. I remember Olivia from Ben H. season and the onion woman and on and on and on

TPTB have been paying Jamie $1000 A WEEK?  I think we just discovered the reason Jimmy and Brooke's season had no discernable villains.  

@Bobette Geez, $52k per year - you'd think there would be tons of peeps signing up to be the villain - just for doing nothing.
