Bachelor 21 - Nick Viall - Media SM Vids - Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers* #4

Lisa wrote:Wait, why do we think it's being announced tonight or in the next week? They can't release info that Rachel is the new Bachelorette when she is still in the mix on the show..that would be unpresedented & never done before & would make this season way too obvious..she leaves at F3 so they have to wait for another couple weeks anyway..


On another note..Rachel doesn't even follow Vanessa? Ugh I actually was & am still not a big lover of Rachel, something about her just seems a little fake to me..plus I think she is STILL bitter she didn't get Nick, probably knew Vanessa was the one & that was why they had this fight in Bimini..sorry


Ok just saw the RS info & he says she is being announced on Jimmy Kimmell tonight so there it is..also I guess they don't care about ruining things since so many spoilers are already out there..

Nothing about Rachel seems fake IMO, being fake is following someone whose life you are not interested in. I will assume she is far from bitter if it true that she is the next bachelorette IMO

Is it to avoid taking anything away from Nick and his F1?

Just seems weird to me as the only person that I see rivalling Vanessa at F1 is Rachel. So to take her out - I just feel like it will be obvious who he picks?

Just trying to understand their rationale for releasing it now vs. a couple weeks from now.

Considering they have been pushing a "Nick could be rejected/end up alone" storyline all season starting with that preview ep where CH asks if Nick could be first Bachelor rejected....perhaps the rest of this season is more about that where they willingly put Nick/Vanessa's relationship more front and center and it's not so much that he picks her so much as it is, can he get the 'Yes!" at the end from her.

The rejected/end up alone storyline continues.

Honestly, I would welcome that change in narrative. Atleast we'll finally get to see Nissa's interactions on screen.   
I am still mad that their conversation during Wisconsin RC and whatever interaction they had that made Vanessa say 'He makes me feel so beautiful' was edited out. 

JMO.

@MonicaJM2001 I 100% agree!! I feel like this is exactly where they have been going all along. The season preview left us at the cliffhanger of Nick saying something to the effect of, "I just hope she says yes." Looking forward to seeing his relief when she shares her affection with him.

After promising fans “an historic announcement,” The Bachelor creator Mike Fleiss and ABC will make good on the hype during tonight’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live with this news: Rachel Lindsay, a 31-year-old African-American attorney from Dallas, will be handing out roses when The Bachelorette premieres this spring. This marks the first time ABC has cast a person of color in the leading role for The Bachelorette or The Bachelor. (Up until now, the franchise’s most diverse leads have been Venezuelan soccer player Juan Pablo Galvais in Season 18 of The Bachelor, and Season 12 Bachelorette star JoJo Fletcher, who is half Persian.)

Though Lindsay is still appearing on the current season of The Bachelor — she’s one of 4 women remaining after the Feb. 13 episode — ABC is making the Bachelorette announcement now in order to have more time for casting. This isn’t the first time the show has decided to spoil itself: ABC announced current Bachelor Nick Viall in August of 2016, even though he was still appearing on the third season of Bachelor in Paradise.

Diversity has long been an issue for the ABC franchise; in 2012, two Nashville residents filed a class-action lawsuit against ABC and Warner Horizon Television, the studio that produces The Bachelor, claiming that the show violated racial discrimination laws. The suit was dismissed in October of 2012.

So, rose lovers, are you happy with ABC’s pick? Take our poll and post your thoughts in the comments below!

The Bachelor airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on ABC. Watch clips and full episodes of The Bachelor for free on Yahoo View.

Comments are interesting.
This one was my personal favorite:

Nick is great and very sexy. Not sure why a porn movie hasnt come out yet.

Love that Ellen gave him a 3 yr sub to Match.com ROFL.

That is pretty funny and cute with his history on the Bach/ette show.

Everyone has their opnion..that's mine, I am not a huge Rachel fan, she just seems bland & not that interesting or exciting..
Also clearly she doesn't follow Vanessa for some reason & I think that reason is likely jealousy..why else would you not follow her when Vanessa follows Rachel.
