Wow with all these I am reading about Lee, I now wonder if it was deliberate on the part of the producers especially with CH saying they had no idea about the tweets from Lee....and the fact that Lee makes it to Europe is mind boggling, I am looking forward to how Rachel explains in this her blog, unreal.

It had to be deliberate. A few days ago, someone on another forum put up a screenshot of some of the people following Lee on IG. The Bachelor Casting IG account was listed as one of his followers. Lee's IG handle is the same as his Twitter handle. Production knew.

Thanks @MissSid....now let's watch CH spin us a new one as to why they had no idea with how Lee appears to be going after Kenny next week. I am looking forward to how Will breaks it down to Lee which I hope it's a teaching moment for Lee anyways.

I also don't think Lee can be taught, but I admire Will for trying. JMO.

They do extensive psych testing pre-show during the interview process. The testing would highlight areas that would indicate issues that could relate to these kinds of things bolded.
So the producers know if they cast someone like a vinegar and they cast someone like a baking soda and knowingly mix the two together it will make a volcano effect and they want a volcano effect--they will get their KA-BOOM! They got their KA-BOOM. Innocently, TPTB can say they did not know it was going to happen, I guess. IDK. I really don't.

I think there were several of us here who unfortunately predicted that this is where producers would go. First WOC as the lead, what better way to stir up drama than bring up the race card. How to really stir up drama....cast a racist. Not shocked, but still disgusted. This is totally unnecessary since they have some really interesting guys...Alex, Kenny, even the storyline with Fred, not to mention two hotties for F1 and F2. It could have been so much more fun, rather than stirring up racism just for the hell of it.

How do we know when any of those follows took place? Any of them? Casting or any of the cast?

So do a lot of the AA guys, like Will, Josiah, and Anthony.

This post should not have been deleted.  There was nothing about political parties in it, that was the first post.  

I know you are receiving pms and know how to deal with them, I suggest you take it to them or go on a short imposed forum vacay.

I'm skimming this thread to get the basics in between Cup final periods, and before I catch up on this season. It's wild to read all of this without having engaged with the sleuthing or watching yet. Here is what I think I'm picking up...

They cast an alleged racist/racist sympathizer.
The F1 spoiler has already switched.
One of the potential F1 doesn't want to have sex with Rachel.
Ben H is in the convo to be lead again. (please tell me this is board fanfic and not a real possibility)

This show/franchise is absurd. Reading this thread is making me laugh out loud, I can't wait to actually catch up on this season.

From experience, people tend to yell when they don't feel they are being heard.  I definitely can see this with Eric, because they are not listening to him. imo

I am very familiar why people yell. I grew up in a house with lots of yelling.  But Eric was yelling at Iggy as Iggy tried to talk to him. I am not even talking about Lee. Lee was attempting to stir up trouble and enjoyed doing it.  And Eric yelled multiple times, it wasn't once being frustrated, it was three time in the episode.

Again this is my opinion.

Imo, Iggy wasn't listening to Eric and it frustrated him because he's becoming invested in Rachel. Eric wanted Iggy to stay out of his business. What/Who gave Iggy the right to determine how Eric should be??? And that was Eric's point all alone. jmo

I'm just surprised that more of the guys haven't unfollowed him since the news broke tbh. Will & Josiah still follow him. Peter, Dean, Kenny, & Eric don't
