I was planning on posting the Final 4 Breakdown and who Arie chose either the next day or on Thanksgiving Day. Hadn’t decided yet. However, my lawyer received a Cease and Desist letter the very next day on Wednesday the 22nd from the law firm that represents the “Bachelor,” in so many words saying that if I released spoilers about Arie’s season based on any improper communications, I could expect legal action to take place. ...

They are trying to silence me again with threats of a lawsuit if I post spoilers from this point forward about the upcoming “Bachelor” season. ...

The only other option is to not spoil this season like they asked and just write recaps pretending I don’t know what the outcomes are of particular episodes. ...

So now that there’s been back and forth for the last week and I know more about the situation than I did last Wednesday when the Cease and Desist letter arrived, I feel comfortable moving forward with the Final 4 Breakdown.

If it’s true that no proposal is made then to me it’s a different story. Would be fun to watch RS get stuffed with humble pie after his gag order failed. However, I think TPTB knew Arie and his tendencies so well, they knew which carrots to dangle to get this particular trick pony to do what they’d knew he’d do. Which also rhymes with switcheroo . Imo

This has been one of the small possibilities that I have had. If he "fell in love with two women" did he want to date them each outside of the show and then make a decision? Do we have any proof that he didn't have any SHV with Lauren? Do we know for sure that he got down on one knee for Becca? When something seems too complicated to be true, it usually is. JMO I could be wrong.

I know you've worked on the timeline and I've read it with interest. But here's something to consider - it may mean nothing (just a coincidence) but it also could be significant.

According to our filming schedule, the FRC took place on Nov 17. On Nov 30, RS posted this (highlights only - he's so very wordy I didn't want to clutter this with all that):

So no more than 5 days after the FRC filmed, they try to silence RS and keep him from posting spoilers for this season.

Why???? Why did they let him go about his spoiler posts for several years and do nothing - but now 5 days after this FRC they decide they want to silence him? What might they have know in only 5 days after the FRC that they didn't want to get out? Is it possible that they foresaw a "Mesnick? season that soon?

I think there is zero chance that Airy didn't propose to either one.

One...I don't think there is a chance in hell they would let him get away with that...particularly as one of the big things against Peter was that he wasn't ready to propose in the time frame of the show.

Two...IMO Airy doesn't have the balls to go against production.

OT...I really think Airy suits him. Thanks for the nickname Tia's dad.

The show is so twisted, no telling what it does to you. He chose Becca at the FRC so I’m not shocked that he tells both of them he loves them. It would be pretty silly to tell only Lauren I love you and choose Becca at the FRC. The dude probably did love both of them. The whole 25 relationships premise of this show is ridiculous in the first place. Why be so shocked that he tells two women he loves them. JMO
