Bachelor Winter Games - General Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

timfan wrote:Happy for Claire and Benoit I think Claire really regretted not giving Benoit more of a chance because she did not feel chemistry enough so maybe she contacted him after and when pressure of the show was over she opened herself more to him just like Evan and Carly sometimes the person you think is not right for you is actually the one jmo

I’m with you, I haven’t watched yet either, but would not have picked Claire & Benoit as a match at all.

1. The very international cast talked a lot about politics in the house.

“When this show was filming, the big story is all the Roy Moore stuff is going on. That was also when Trump tweeted basically admitting to obstructing justice... So these things are all being discussed and we were like, ‘Ah, they’re gonna cut all this out.’... [But] it’s relevant, it’s topical. We were, at one point, sitting around the island in the kitchen and there was a big talk with everyone, and basically they denoted me to be the speaker on behalf of apologizing for the United States and explaining what was going on. I jokingly tweeted this, but feel like my role there was to improve United States diplomatic relations with our foreign allies.”

2. The “Bachelor” anthem was written by the high-school girl who sang it!

“That was a local high school student who wrote the song herself. They did not give it to her,” said Michael. “Chris Harrison introduced her [at the opening ceremonies] ... I think her mission was to write something funny and cheesy.”

3. Some of the contestants weren’t initially told the competition would include real Olympic sports.

“When I was asked to do this show, I was like, ‘Look, it’s been a while since I’ve gone skiing, it’s been a while since I’ve gone ice skating,’” said Michael. “They said, ‘Oh, Michael G., don’t worry. We don’t wanna get sued by the Olympics! We’re not gonna do real winter sports. We can’t do that. We’re gonna do like, snowball fights and who can build a snowman fastest.’”

4. Michael had some potential love interests that never went anywhere, so they got cut.

On Jenny, from Finland: “I was sort of talking to Jenny. Nothing really developed there.

On Lesley, from the USA: ”I love Lesley and Dean together. I love both of them individually as well. But look, I’ve known Lesley for a while ― she was on the [“Bachelor”] season before mine [of “The Bachelorette”].... She and I had a couple really great conversations, and then she hit it off with Dean. There was an undeniable chemistry there.”

Does anyone know if Ben was out and about with the rest of the cast after filming? I assume he would be at the filming but didn't see any pics of him in the IGstories I watched but could have missed it


ETA: Ben spotted in Yuki's IG story. Kevin and Ashley are together and looking cute
