"We're really careful about who we let on the show," he said, according to Kaufman. "We lose a lot of great potential characters because we're so tough and stringent … Anyone who has any sort of borderline personality disorder or instability or any sort of past involving contemplation of suicide—we just can't take the risk. We just don't."

RIP to the three contestants over the years, that took their own lives after battling with depression.

This situation is just extremely gross. The fact that he had the nerve to apply, go through the process while he had charges laid against him, and acted like nothing ever happened is disturbing. According to our filming schedule, we have two more weeks of him. IMO they should completely cut him out of any scene. Don't even show him after he gets cut.

I just don't understand why they wouldn't do a criminal background check on everyone. You can't depend on them telling you the truth.

I enjoyed seeing Jojo in that interview. She talked a little about being lead - most of which we know. She said she'd have had to keep this Jordan if he were on her season. She also said there's a list of guys to choose from for dates. She picked Derek for her first date but he wasn't her first choice. They told her that they wanted to save that guy for a later date. I would have liked to hear why they pick MOT guys for dates. They were mostly talking about what just happened this episode but I'd have liked to have heard more.

Isn’t it interesting? Isn’t it interesting!

The one and major reason I tried not to be a fan of any contestant on this show is because we don’t know who or what these people are. A few minutes watching someone attempt to make an impression, make a fool of themselves, put on a good face does not mean we know anything about them. Just because they’re cute, handsome or have a great body does not mean there are no character flaws. Just because they have a beautiful smile and are funny does not mean their moral compass is pointing in the right direction. We don’t know anything about these people and imagine the lead who’s willing to propose after a few days of meeting them.

IMO It doesn't matter who the lead is, Bachelor or Bachelorette they all have to take this person or that person on a date, and save others for later from what we've learned over the years by sleuthing.

It all depends if the lead is well liked, I've noticed on SM, if they are, they get a pass for taking a MOT person by justifying they had to. OTOH if the lead is not liked, they are considered to make stupid decisions. I know the Jordan's and the Corrine's have to stick around because that's they way they roll and not because the lead necessarily wants them there. JMHO from watching over the years. Jordan has a couple more epi's, (probably planned so they can announce he will be on BIP) and Colton sticks around to be used for the Tia/drama. I have read a few comments here and there, that they can't understand why Becca would keep Colton after the Tia situation and that they would have booted him on the spot.

IA I think a smaller cast would be more beneficial, but not if they don't do away with the unnecessary drama and scripted storyboards that sleuthers can predict before the show airs. Some of the International shows have smaller cast, but the American scripted storyboards are slowly creeping in and it's quite obvious.

EXACTLY!! I might think someone is good looking and has a good job....but other than that, who am I to judge?
My fan girling of 1F during Emily's season taught me a big lesson!!

Ep. 4 previews

Garrett


Wills

: . :shootme: :: :shootme: :shootme: :
I hate to say it, Becca and Garrett are desperately to be.

Moved to

Potential Cast Becca's season

If Becca doesn't want Wills, then I will take him

@Kashathediva  I have no idea what she see's in him. She obviously is crazy about him. The kind of crazy where they can do no wrong, crazy. He looks strung out to me, all the time.

I hope they last forever because if he ever leaves, say after a couple of weeks, she'll be a mess IMHO, Strong is not her strongest attribute.

I think it may be a SHV this weekend.

Becca posted a music screenshot on IG at 9:17PM which for me (west coast) was 2h ago (currently 11.23pm). Meaning she is probably on West Coast time too.


My SC

The photo is definitely from today. As the Betty Who song is from her new EP (Betty -Pt. 1) which was only released today. (Although she could have taken the photo at 9:17pm Minnesota time and posted it a few hours later )

I also think, going by Garrett’s IG posts, he probably was with family and friends in San Diego last weekend.

As always, on the lookout over the next few days....

Can’t help but associate Blake with Betty Who... and the concert they attended. Wonder if Blake saw and liked her post? I cannot see Garrett knowing or liking that music as much as Blake, btw. IMO
