Luke Pell - Bachelorette 12 - BWG - Discussion - #3

JMO, but if he were smart after some of the comments he made that sounded a slight bit negative to my ears, he will stay far away from another round of editing. TPTB have long memories. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

Yes IA. If they werent happy with some of the things he's said, they will make it known with his edit. I would walk far away from the franchise if i were him.

Luke is a stand up guy. IMO. He surely does not need a second round of this franchise. He will do great on his own. JMOAA

^^^I thought he was seeing someone?...Not that that has ever made a difference.

Well he's been hanging with Chris Soules in LA all weekend and yesterday, so maybe he caught the bug?

I watched Chris Harrison on Ellen yesterday. Ellen asked why Luke wasn't the Bachelor. Chris said when you talk to the guys and their first questions are about money, job opportunities, and a music career and their not asking about dates, women and love they're not sincere. Production thought Nick was sincere. Luke not so much

It's funny to me that CH can essentially talk about "being there for the right reasons" when the person they ended up going with is on his fourth reality television show, but I love that Luke is getting called out. Luke has continuously been an azz in my opinion when he has called out other guys from his season saying they weren't there for the right reasons.

A while ago RS had said he had heard that Luke wanted his music on the show and wanted complete control of his music career once the show was complete. ABC decided at the last minute that this would be too risky, so they went with Nick at the last minute. I can believe this.

It sounds like CH and company got tired of the backlash for not chosing Luke and decided to throw him totally under the bus.

First it was because he wasn't sincere, now it's because he wasn't sincere asking about money and not the dates. I read that article, I forget now where it was.

IMO no one's terms of contract should be discussed. IMO even those that think they'll be the lead and at the last minute aren't. It's horrible the way they are treated but it's no surpise. The moment you agree to talk is the moment you loose any contol IMHO. I wonder if Luke didn't voice his opinions, if they would have gone this far in explaning why he wasn't chosen.

Dying that Luke wasn't gonna be there "for the right reasons" but a guy on his fourth show is. Talk some more bs CH, it's your speciality.

IMO Chase was in the same boat as Luke but wisely chose to keep his mouth shut and not call out TPTB and say they wronged him. For someone who wants a career in music and entertainment, IMO Luke sure does not know how the industry works and how he needs to play nice if he wants to survive.

I think Chris didn't like the way Luke was bitter and threw them under the bus when he didn't get to be the bachelor, so he is decided to throw Luke under the bus.... Clearly they had options.

As always, don't bite the hand that feeds you.

Despite the fact that he wasn't ultimately chosen, you would think that someone already in the business, would know not to bad mouth the show. They have connections and could assist him if they like him and he had kept his options open.
