Bachelor 22 - Speculation - *Sleuthing Spoilers* - Discussion #2

JMO but I think at this point Fleiss is just taking glee in getting Bachelor Nation riled up and trying to decode everything and reading into everything, etc. Personally I am officially bored and over it. Give me holler when they make the announcement. Other than that, so over it.

People with mental health issues do recover and function in society in stressful jobs.... teachers, nurses, lawyers, doctors. In recovery they can be stronger and have better coping skills because of working on their issues. I work in mental health so it's a pet peeve that those seeking therapy are seen as weak/less than and can't cope. JMO.

Thank You #endthestigma

@Miahawk went unspoiled until the end of the season, so she has no idea of all the info sleuthed and back stories of him and most of the cast.  She asked a question and was generally curious and concerned, IMO.  She was not trying to snark on or be negative about Peter or eating disorders and or other issues as a whole.

Let's move on please.

ETA: let me add nor am I trying to label or belittle anyone or make light of a situation, but the topic is Bach 22. Let's stay on topic. If you wish to discuss this further take it to a more appropriate thread.

Your point is well taken and if people can fully recover from alcoholism and cancer, they can certainly recover from various types of mental illness but, we're not talking about those people, IMO. We're talking about Peter. JMO

Ladybug82 wrote:@coolangel well I really, really don't want a season of Luke and doubt I'd watch.  And would only be able to SC with my hands over my eyes, slightly peeking threw them, cause he creeps me out. But I'm sure he'd be able to line up his top contenders quickly if he hasn't already, so he'll bring the drama all on his on.  No need for TPTB to write a story board...  You get a final rose, you get a final rose, and you get a final rose... so, we could certainly snark.    

Peter's SM behavior of late already makes me cringe, I can't imagine what he'll do while the show's airing and people don't like his decisions.  Especially when he doesn't chose the fan fav and let's the darling go to secure her Ette spot.  At this point, I'm not sure how well he can handle the SM backlash, MF's bus and being battered and bruised on SM and rag mags.  If his actions of late are any indictor, not well, IMO of course.  All leads struggle with it to some degree and mention it at some point along the way, but normally they don't start clapping back this early, you know before being official named or the season even films.

Fortunately Best Buy will have Christmas sales because we all need screens huge enough to provide premium seating for this show... And I really feel like we should chip in to buy CH a three piece terry cloth suit for the all the Petey tears  because the Roseboys won't be there for bromance and validation (except for special play dates) and Dean seems to have lost his petey prayer and worship rug in Paradise and those girls (contestants) - having no Bryan A HEA behind all THEIR doors are probably going to report Peter for alienation of Bachelornation affection if he goes into that sulky, two snap mode like he did every day after TOG got the watch.
So really, IMO...I just feel like I want to be there for him to tell him that I understand that Paper Dolls have feelings too and I truly get why he believes that a proposal with a free ring is exactly the same thing as a church wedding/marriage because I know paying a $50 deposit is the same as buying a $75K car. Also, IMO I kinda would like to work out with him except I'm afraid he might wear that lime green running suit with the dish towel ascot and I don't have anything that matches. The thing I love about TB is it just is so amazing and real. JMO

Very True Rolly

But at the same time you dont recommend a recovering alcoholic to work in a liquor store.  Why knowingly put your selves in a situation that can cause you to do something you normally wouldn't do.  Then have that action magnified and twisted for 10 million people to judge.   I dont get why they do it.  But am glad they do 

@nikikass ITA and I have posted my opinions with reference to the issues that may surface for Peter. I indicated early on, during sleuthing, comparing him to MM with his SM behaviour. He continually interacts with SM trolls and has not let up. If he was secure and confident with himself and his image, why is he engaging with the hateful people on SM. Being the bachelor is hard on anyone, let alone someone who appears to be insecure about his image and has had issues in the past.

@TheWrongReasons Thanks for posting the TMZ link.

His arrogance IMO, drips off my screen. His face lit up, I mean just lit up like a Christmas tree when the guy said he liked him.

MePeter is thin-skinned and self-absorbed and in love with himself, imo. Good luck to his F1 if Peter is the bachelor. I think the real winners for his season will be the non-F1s. jmo

so I might be reading too much into things but peter has a few IG stories up and on the 6th story (as of now) he's at the top of a fire truck and pans around and at the bottom of a screen there is a dark haired woman with a dog that looks like daisy, he quickly moves her out of the frame...any thoughts?

Right now all I can tell you is that #TheBachelor probably won't be the guy everyone thought was the logical choice... Stand by.

EDIT: Aaand he deleted it after 10 minutes. Something seriously wack is going on with this season IMO 

LOGICAL choice? Really MF? There is a LOGICAL choice anywhere on the horizon? Searching...nope, nowhere in sight.

I'm not talking about any whorish behavior but one where the guy knows how to converse; have a real dialogue about what he wants and what she's looking for and need.

I'm not asking for an over the top scripted bachelor. I want one that knows what he's all about and not just there... well because; it suits a brand, more fans equal more stash, more cash.

I want a man who is there to walk the walks while he talks the talk.

Being real.Not tripping..,

Exactly this. But a man like that would no longer apply for this mess because he would hear all about MF's bus if he even considered it.

eta: sorry for the double post
