I for sure thought Jen and Lauren H would be in the original cast, but neither has even left to film yet. Seriously though, the producers must really like Sarah H and Izzy, for them to both be in the original cast? I don't get it. So boring, and not exactly the girls the guys will be after IMO.

They love Sarah, I'm sure. I think there are very few contestants that MF follows and Sarah is one of them.

But location might be a factor. Nick, Sarah, Amanda, Izzy, the twins, Grant, etc. are all west coast based (closest to Mexico). The other originals were most talked about contestant on their season (so far), with an exception of maybe Leah. So I have a feeling that Evan and Grant are on it over Derek, James, Alex, Wells, Christian are not on it because America/Bach Nation hasn't seen their exit/character development yet, even if they read spoilers.

I'm bummed that Wells doesn't appear to be on the list. Derek also. I don't like Chad or Evan at all and see them there for the drama only. Grant, Christian, and James might be more interesting.

I agree bean.   For whatever reason tptb seize on one contestant, in this case Chad, who they think is entertaining and over saturate each episode with them.  A little Chad goes a long way but he in MF world becomes the star of the episode, even eclipsing JoJo. Now they are hell bent on doing so on BIP.   I don't know if it is just me but MF has a habit of forcing the most un interesting one note person into the mix and showing them ad nauseam.  Yes the ratings are good, but is it because of Chad? IDK.   I think this show has gotten lazy and does the bare minimum to maintain the audience.

Good looking, interesting, romantic guys bring ratings too!  I also want to see Wells, Derek and Christian on BIP.

From RS's reader emails he says he's heard Derek isn't going to be on BiP anymore.

Derek probably read the cast release list and bailed out.  

JMO

yea the producers are dumb, guys like Wells and Derek probably wanted Caila or Jen or somebody better to be there. So lame.

LOL. That's funny. He says he hasn't heard confirmation either way on Wells. I bet he doesn't do it either.

Another reason they may not be going is because Chad is there. They probably don't want to be dealing with him again.

The cast can also see how editing works this far into their own season and decide if they want to be part of that circus again.

Yeah, the girls want certain guys...and when they are stuck with Chad.. are the girls gonna bail out too? Then TPTB will have to find all of these replacements, which I'm sure isn't hard, but what viewer wants to see a bunch of night 1 rejects .

Aren't Wells & Derek close friends now?  Maybe they made the decision together not to be on and just concentrate on the real world.   I'm sure they'll have no problems meeting lots of girls in the coming months.

Derek is way too normal for BIP. Please tell me that Clare won't be returning this season.
