Luke Pell - Bachelorette 12 - *Sleuthing - Spoilers* #2

Oh god, Joelle Pell

Reason enough not to pick him

^^^I bet Luke gets a loooooong time in the hot seat today. Part of his bachelor audition.

If Luke is TB, is it unreasonable for me to think they'll go easy on him and keep the drama within the crazy contestants due to his service for his country?

I hope so.

Brad was 39 when his second season aired. Byron Velvick was the oldest bachelor at 40 when his season aired.

This^^ is the one reason I shudder to have Luke be TB. I would like to honor and not humiliate those that have served our country. 

I think he'll be pretty safe. On Bach season they usually only like to humiliate the women IMO. Unless you're Juan Pablo or do something dumb like say ILY over and over again to 2 people. I bet Luke will get a great, heroic, leading man edit, unless they need storylines and he offers them up something juicy on a plate.

I hope you are right but I just don't trust TPTB and they really don't seem to care any thing about the contestants - IMO they only care about ratings and will do anything to get good ones.

If they try to make him look like a buffoon I may finally have the backbone to quit this franchise for good.

Hope he doesn't sign a contract before the finale airs so he can see how they portray him.  How they make him look Monday night will be telling from his HTD, family/friends to his exit.

Well hopefully if they do they will be the ones that end up looking like a buffoon - I don't think the public would give them very good ratings for that.

I hope so too if he is the next Bachelor - there is always the possibility he would turn it down like Chris Lambton did.  In a way I hope he does.

Most likely he will not be offered a contract until they have to offer one--August was last year's.
