Danielle Maltby - BIP 4 - Discussion

Interesting Chris Harrison says in his blog Wells is in big trouble with him. Is it because he is being paid a salary to be Bartender? Maybe his contract says no dating of cast but he was there to talk with cast and provide commentary which he was doing directly before and after the kiss. Which happened on Danielle's way out not during the time she was there to date. Or is it because it gums up the works of a plan to possibly make him next bachelor? You'd think they would be thrilled, they could have left the kiss on the edit floor but instead they chose to show it since it was good TV to play up their friendship!!! There has been a firestorm of interest generated by the kiss in social media , so they should give Wells a bonus for going above & beyond.

IMO CH is just trying to stir up interest in the show and them as a couple. No way is Wells in any kind of trouble.

No clever caption, I just love these humans

No makeup, lounging in our PJs, drinks & food all day, with my sweet girls.. it truly was paradise! #BachelorInParadise

I had to look up who Jim and Pam were.

I don't see Wells being in trouble either and CH probably already knows if anything came of it.

Anyone listening to Wells podcast right now? Danielle is with him to talk about their relationship....I don't have ITunes so can't listen.

I haven't been able to pull it up on my browser either. Just curious to see if they are dating. Anyone have the scoop?

listened to it last night. The first 10 minutes Wells spent talking casting on the Bachelor shows - implored producers to cast more normal people!

At the 40 minute mark or so, Danielle joined in and basically they are feeling pressure to be a couple from social media. They had a meet up in a coffee shop after Danielle returned from Africa and decided to just let whatever happens be organic. They stood up to leave and realized the couple sitting behind them had listened to their entire convo when they asked for a selfie! As a result, they are being very cautious - probably overdoing it on the caution as they feel that if they are photographed together, even doing what they would have done pre-show, then the speculation and pressure escalates. I would say that they are afraid to ruin a great friendship. But as Wells said, their kiss was the best moment on all of BIP this season!

Edited to add that both Wells and Danielle had anticipated that kiss for a long time! And Danielle's parents asked her when she was bringing Wells up to their vacation cabin! LOL

Edit #2 - both were mad that their discussion of their relationship was cut from the after-show. As a result, they agreed the only place they would discuss their relationship was on Wells' podcast.

Thanks Norcalgal!  I am optimistically thinking this may be a budding romance and they just need time and space.  At the very least, their friendship seems intact.

Olivia Caridi's podcast yesterday had Christen Whitney on it who is friends with Danielle M. She basically said that according to Danielle the ball is in Wells' court if he wants to pursue a relationship.

If this is true, that means he is not interested. They spend a lot of time together, and I assume he's had opportunities to roll the ball...but he isn't. Hopefully, she isn't waiting around for him.
