Idk what the reasons were but whoever left it out, whether it was Rachel or production, IMO it's very ugly and not at all a good look to try to gloss over it, & pretend it didn't happen. & her criticism of Kenny ... like girl have you lost your g*ddamn mind? She knows good and damn well how microagression feels and how despite your best efforts sometimes you'll lose your cool because that sort of thing sparks a visceral reaction in black people. Her criticism of Kenny while completely ignoring Lee? Ok sis.

Good post.
This is exactly why I do not think she wrote the blog entry this week and why it was late. You said it perfectly. I simply can't see it.
She seemed, imo upset and angry last night in the episode. I would imagine it was re-awakened during her re-watching the episode. Notice Bryan unfollowed Lee today also? Her twitter responses to things. Then the blog entry was late.  I don't know for sure if she did or didn't write it for sure, but I suspect she did not, otherwise I think we would have seen some kind of Rachelism, some kind of sarcastic sly smack done up nicely. The blog seemed very generic. IMO

All very good posts. At this point, I'm side eyeing but I'm willing to give the benefit of doubt. We know that Lee gets a rose at the rose ceremony, so there needed to be some kind of justification as to why he would stay longer. IMO there isn't one other than producers want him there for drama and they can't exactly write that in the people blog so they did a piss poor job of trying to put some of the blame on Kenny as well to at least make it seem two sided. Once the Lee storyline is concluded, however, I expect much better from Rachel and production. It is just unacceptable to not address this further IMO.

I agree about the generic blog.

For me, it is crystal clear that they knew Lee was racist. Each season they try their best to mingle guys with opposite personalities hoping to get some explosive dramas. They could not pass a racist in the villain's choices. That was too easy for them. I do not believe one sec that the prods did not know who was Lee. The same way they knew Waboom and Blake E had an history. Those guys have decades of casting. They know their poop IMO.

The frustration Rachel had was genuine but I do not understand why she was that frustrated knowing full well she was played and used or would be used by the franchise. She could not be that naive right? I mean, no matter what promises they made, she watched the previous shows and she was even a contestant and saw first hand how they act on set.

I would have loose my poop like Kenny. I honestly believe Kenny is a genuine kind guy. Sadly, Rachel will put him in the same trash bag as Lee.

I kinda like that Karma is having fun with Lee since yesterday. I do.

the last minutes showed Kenny having fun with the other guys BTW.

May I add how much I LOVED how Dean did not fell into the tricks and BS of prods when he was doing his PI... Smart smart guy!! I really have soft spot for Dean. Yesterday, I cried like a baby hearing his story.

JMOAA

Shoutout to Dean for calling out the producers.   They knew exactly what they were doing when they cast Lee IMO. IMO There is nothing amusing about seeing microaggressions against black men and then having the lead gloss over it in the blog whether by choice or being told to. This show has officially hit a new low IMO.  

All JMO

yup exactly! ITA - who knows what'll come out next week - for now, I find myself feeling like about the franchise.

These people (production) are not your friends.

Rachel has been on one on SM since last night, and I'm DYING I guess this is why she doesn't tweet much lmfao. She's like "y'all don't wanna know what tf I'm really thinking" Jmo.

Talk to your co-host Matt. Don't talk to me. He's the only one listening. #whoisramona https://t.co/bfqciqd6l4

LOL and this is why I don't think she wrote the blog. I just can't see it.

I am living for Rachel dragging people left and right. 

Well apparently Rachel "sends a message" with her GD rose.

Which imo answers the question of why Bryan was not mentioned in this blog.he didn't have enough screen time because one of his little scenes is coming up on the turn of the episode I.e her giving him the rose.

Good God I love Rachel

Full on "don't come for me unless I send for you" mode. Proceed with caution in these twitter streets

What does her reply mean? Who are Matt and Ramona?
