So, according to RS, 3 of the spoiled F4 are “likable”. Counting on that to carry this season.

Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg just now briefly interviewed Colton on New Year's Rockin' Eve show.

Aria wrote:I think the engagement thing was just an excuse, considering she was (allegedly) discussing being the Bachelorette with Caelynn. So she was cool getting engaged 6 months later, but not right now? Sure.... I think she just underestimated Colton's investment in her and now she's stuck.

At least that's the vibe I get right now. It'll be interesting to follow their relationship as the show airs.

IMO.

I want to see how this plays out, but I think it's possible to be both interested in the lead AND also in possibly being the Bachelorette. I don't think it has to be either/or. Both possibilities are on the table, and most of that is out of their hands anyway.

Timing, I think, matters. If the convo is from early in the season then that has less impact than if it’s midway or more and appears to contradict things either say or do with Colton.

The franchise has reached the point IMO where reasons to go on the show are:
possibility of being next lead, meeting more than 1 guy on next BIP which means having to be on Bach first, travel, make new friends, be on tv, for fun/adventure, show up an ex, future shilling income,... and maybe fall in love. A combo of some or all depending on the cast member. 
It is what it is.

Yeah, you're right, timing is EVERYTHING. Just as a reminder, the Bachelorette convo between Cassie and Caelynn happened two episodes prior to HTD in Vietnam.
