Bachelorette 13 - Rachel Lindsay - General Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

It's still a win/win if she's announced right now. People that are nosey will want to watch Rachel's journey in the remaining episodes she's on to get to know who's the new Bachelorette. I guess the WTA episode would be slightly different if she's announced this early right ?

Re-edit tomorrows episode. Nick goes on all his dates then Meets with Chris(new filming on beach) and says he can't continue in his quest for Love. Chris asks Nick..Final Answer?...Nick..Yes. (see the tie in ) Fade to black screen...Season Over the End.  On JK out walks Rachel as the next Bachelorette.  
Now that would be Historic for the Franchise. IMO. And make sense of why MF said he got permission from ABC. And the weird mid season press tour last week.  Plenty of time to promote Rachel as Bachelorette and get some additional Rachel specific cast like they did for Nick. Wild speculation on my part.....  
All JMO

I was hoping for Rachel but I don't think she will be the bachelorette.

I'm wondering, CH out, JK in.

@GuardianAngel that would be a tremendous improvement. IMO

I've been watching CH for awhile now. He was snubbed for the after show, he's made various comments during that time that alluded to him not having any control and a few other comments. I've just been 'expecting' it and not surprised if he is replaced.

ETA: I remembered one about retiring. Here is is. At the time I thought maybe he was being pushed out. This of course in my mind has to do with me speculating his involvement with one certain lead. He was joking but I wondered if he was throwing shade.

In an interview this week about JoJo Fletcher’s forthcoming Bachelorette 2016 season, Chris admitted he gets a little worn out from all the drama and emotions involved in guiding three reality TV dating shows each year.

Interesting interview! never saw that one. Interesting if JK become the after host? hmmmm!

That would definitely fit history making since CH has been the only host. Maybe it is that or a possible spin off involving JK. You know cause they need another spin off!

I think it could be Rachel being announced. Would be a win-win really announcing it early. They did such a crap job with casting last year that if they choose Rachel they owe it all of us to give her the best possible chance. JMO.

I tend to think if it was an Ette announcement they'd mention it not just lump it in with the Bachelor for Bachelor history.  And no matter what storyline they're currently going with for Nick, I have a hard time see them announcing her before she's actually eliminated.  

And if it is an announcement about Rachel, whether it be she made the HTDs or named lead, I find it kind of tacky to put so much emphasis on it being such a historic announcement.  If it's got to do with her, I don't like the way they're using her and she's not even gotten close to started filming on her season yet.  I say, tell them no and run not walk away from them.

Yes it may be time for it all and she may be making history for them, but don't exploit it and make it tacky by turning it into a such spectacle.  But this show/franchise is a 3ring circus, so not sure why I'd think they'd do anything actually tasteful.

Absolutely nothing will surprise me anymore.

Whether they say Rachel is the bachette or they decided to go with Betty White. Or they just want to reiterate that this is going to be "the most dramatic season finale ever" I really wouldn't be surprised anymore,

Betty White would be great. They wouldn't have to worry about age casting she likes all types, besides which the pool of older men is pretty non-exisitent.
