Blake Horstmann - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

tbh i am failed to see why BK wouldnt let Blake go pre-FRC. Sorry, but " bc Jason was let go pre-FS " is such a lame excuse to me.

Remember Andi season?. She let CS went home pre -overnight as well, yet still managed to let Nick go in the morning of FRC. (eventhough he did pick the ring and met Neil Lane).

One would think BK has all the bargains, thanks to her embarrassing break up on camera. But nope,... watching this season i am convinced that she is actually a true people pleaser in a nutshell. She lets people walk all over her : Ross, Arie, TPTB with her break up, Tia-Colton saga, etc. And in this finale she is submissive to TPTB evil plan to string along Blake till the very2 end by proposing..tbh i wouldn't be surprised if she too will throw the lame excuse: to allow Blakey gets his chance as next TB (yep..another Arie reference right here). So much for a strong, independent woman, eh? . RME so hard!

This season seems like an OTT season for me. They give us the new lowest low with all the controversy surrounding the casts, the chitty  selection of the casts, a new record of uninteresting dates theme and locations. Another new low is how the lead string along the F2. I have watched since Trista Season, yet i have never seen the level of ITMs mentioning falling in love and in love to camera as much as BK did Blake this season. Not to mention, countless VOs and her own BL and convincing words toward Blake ("you make my heart burst, happy", etc) . BK has easily surpassed Andi in my book, and only came close second to Emily as #1 leading on queen. (solely bc an insider info that Emily has slept with Arie multiple times during production LOL).

Blake looks so friggin happy in the picking ring pics, and sound confident in the preview clip. That means BK had give him assurance he needed leading to the finale.I can only hope that Blake was self perceptive enough to check his watch and sun position that day to not get down on one knee. If BK lets him do that, wow...i will forever hate her. LOL

still rooting for Blakey to get his chance at love on my TV. Then again, i realize i may end up hating on him at the end of his season as well. haha!..wash, rinse, repeat!

Alright, end of my rant. for this safe venting place

Aria wrote:@albean99 I definitely agree with that take about him falling really fast and being really intense when it comes to love! I don't know how his season would go, but I think that's the exciting part for me. With Jason and Colton and Ben H, I think it would be so predictable because I feel like I can pretty much predict exactly how the season would go and how the post-season would go. With Blake, there's a lot more uncertainty and I think that's what makes it exciting

At the very least, I feel confident he would really fall in love and make a genuine attempt to make it work and I can't say that for like 95% of our Bachelors and all of our other Bachelor potentials. 

IMO.

I don't think the Tia/Colton stuff was. She seemed barely affected by that to me. In general, she has a very absorptive personality...nothing seems to really get her down or angry for more than a sec.

I think the Arie stuff did and, if she had asked for that while she was negotiating her contract (when they likely really, really wanted her), they probably would have given it to her. As the season is filming, though, I think they always want one big, heartbreaking, tear-filled moment. And that hasn't really happened yet this season. IMO.
