Blake Horstmann & Giannina Gibelli - Bachelorette 14 - Discussion - #2

clayharbs82 Blake is doing juuuuust fine. #hometowns #brunomars #bachelorette

It was hard to keep up with Blake this past weekend. Bruno Mars concert (with Clay) Friday night. I don't know how he did it but he seemed to attend 2 games Saturday - Rockies and Huskers (in Lincoln, NE), Broncos game yesterday, and Maroon 5 concert last night! Where someone proposed on stage .

Blake is looking juuuust fine!

I think Blake was hiking with KS yesterday in Bailey Mtn. Just a feeling Am I right, Blake? (She's been MIA since the weekend...)

Oh jeez. I sure hope not. I just feel like he can do so much better and would hate to see him get sucked into all of her bitterness and fame chasing. I saw that he's hosting a benefit for the SickKids Foundation in Toronto with Kevin (from BiP). If you're a Blake fan in the Toronto area, might be something to check out!

Just casually here bc Blake just got his IG verified...so yay for that!

i also am just casually follow along his updates. Not a fan of Kristina bc of her history with Jef 1 F (Dean doesn't bother me much tbh) . Only a few contestants from this silly show i can't stand bc i am an easy to please girl at core..LOL ..sadly, 1F is one of them, right there with Josh and Rubby.  So, yeah, not really digging Blake joining the Kristina league with Jef and Dean as their successor. Meh. btw does anyone know how long her fling with Jef was? (i mean, i wouldn't bother much asking how deep/serious it was?..LOL..). I didn't follow Kristina or any Nick's girls much, so would love the heads up on this K girl wuv life    

Late to the convo,but FWIW. I have followed Blake closely pre-season right up to Bachelor announcement. I agree with Renee that the K pic was most likely a throwback pic. Blake was seen out and about in Denver the whole week before the ATFR . His pic was probably from the last days he was staying in Maldives. Millsy has said he stayed there until at least 1 day after FRC. JMO

I personally think he was in talk as Bachie when he flew to LA around mid of August, just as Peter last year. But i get an impression there were hiccups in the negotiation..his probably was not as smooth Jason or Colton. JMO. Also, its been sleuthed he has helped Shabby with her house, so IA that it was highly possible he attended Shabby B'day bash too while he was there and get introduced to Kristina at the event. I also agree that his IG story mentioning Shabby as his "fairylovemother" might refer to Kristina (and not Becca..LOL).

I too suspected he went hiking with Kristina (re: the Bailey mountain IG) . He often hiked with his ex, Alexa, while there was in the relationship (2.5 years or so).

Lastly, I am guessing the Toronto event tomorrow with Kevin is probably due to the Astrid-Kristina hub. I wouldn't be surprised if Kristina will also be there, especially since Blake mentioned in the promo clip that 'a few friends' will show up. JMO.

It seems we got all these Nick's girls and Becca's guys coupling festivities with Angela and Clay became a "thing"..LOL

PS: oh yeah..pls, posters in Toronto area, hopeful that one of you could come to the event and may spill the tea on B-K dynamic for us.. .

@Joy15, TY - I love your posts, keep us posted!   (Blake seems to be in Toronto tonight with Eric Bigger and Jason.)  So the festivities go on for a few days?

ETA: I don't know anything about K and Jef! I haven't kept up with Kristina since BiP last summer. I just know I loved her on Nick's season and BiP.

Thanks @Joy15, always fun to read you!

My little grain of salt on Kristina: I liked her on her first season, have not followed her after show but heard through the branches of off-on relationships with Dean and probably not treated well by any guys until now. I actually see Blake and her hitting it off because Blake is more educated, sophisticated, gentleman, worldly, honest and fun than who she was with before. And I checked their Astro and it’s better than I tought...there is hope guys...more later!

I'm still salty he didn't get the Bach gig but glad he seems to have moved on from his heartbreak.

I was just coming to post that link.  Thought it was interesting he said he would have agreed to being co-Bachelor w/ Colton.  

Here is another morning show CP 24 Breakfast.  I actually liked this interview better:  


He and Jason both say they would have taken gig if offered and mention they have gone back to regular work life.  It cracked me up when they asked Eric about his “ugly cry” on BIP and Blake said:  “I’ve been there man”..LOL

I do not think Kristina is at this event, but IMO she’ll be at iHeart next weekend and Nov 3rd charity in Toronto for Kevin IF Kristina and Blake are still a “thing”.

Blake and Eric are my two favorites, so I'm loving seeing them together!

I honestly (and there's no well to tell) think they (bachelors and bachelorettes) are not allowed to say they wouldn't take the gig. They have to act like they all want it, bc abc wants all to believe it's a very coveted gig. It also makes ABC seem like they "settled" instead of getting the one they wanted. We know what happened with Peter, but Peter has never said he turned it down. I don't think he is allowed to. In the same way, contestants do not say anything negative about the lead, even though we know some do not like the lead at all. Everyone must love the lead and everyone must want to be the lead. Just my opinion. RS says Blake and Jason weren't offered, but that is literal. If Blake and Jason both said some things tptb didn't like or weren't according to their plans/storyboard of course they wouldn't offer the gig to them, even though they were BN's choice. jmho
