Oops! They did not like her answer about why abc has not had a lead of colour. She better not read the comments because i am pretty sure some insults will be coming her way from the commenters

Yeah I heard! I haven't watch before so I can't tell, but maybe that's just the truth :/

Thanks for the link. Interesting!

I am glad she can say that she is engaged. That means the boys are gonna bring the drama. I wonder why they let her say she is engaged? Is so that they can get the wedding?

I think it's true, I think A LOT of thought, & focus groups, went into selecting her. But they gotta give her a better answer than that because they are setting my girlie up

IMO, it doesn't matter who the lead is, it's better to never read the comments on articles posted or SM as a whole because there are always plenty that dislike something that the lead says, does, wears, how they act or just them in general (as in it should've been someone else).

I hope she's got a thick skin or ignores it all one because IMO, it's never easy for the lead and if race is or turns into an issue, its only going to get worse.  

JMO

@Ladybug82 Well she did say it does not matter the race in her family, all you need is a thick skin, so I do believe she has a thick skin.

The hosts were cracking me up by naming all the guys to find out who is F1.

Also this was mentioned by a few people but they also mentioned Rachel reminding them of Robyn Givens..

They were waiting for the right person to come along? Um ok. Shades of MeAndi always seem to come to the forefront for me.

Again with the sloppy seconds. She'd be glad to pass them along to the interviewer. This girl really thinks she's the cat's meow IMHO.

The anonymity of the internet @ladybug makes people very rude behind their keyboards. I agree it doesn't matter who you are, what you say, there are miserable pple out there whose existence thrive on negativity.

TPTB are giving her a lot of rope.
