Bachelor 23 - Cassie Randolph - **Sleuthing Spoilers**

Caelan and Cassie both handled the scrutiny well and are clearly good, respectful, loving people.  I'm sorry they had to go through that but contestants on The Bachelor must know that they will be open season for social media, both good and bad.

I agree they both Cassie & Caelan handled it well, but I don't think TPTB have intentions of allowing this to end well, I have a feeling they are setting the stage to embarrass Cassie & bring her down. Hope im wrong but giving their track record of nasty stunts Its hard not to think that that's what they are aiming for. Drama ,Drama ,Drama JMO

@Jolena I actually have a disagreeing prediction of the outcome. Fans want to see a happy ending. Yes, there will be drama with Cassie leaving during FS and the wall jump, but I truly believe that the end will tie C and C's relationship in a bow. Since the couple seems to be happy atm (hopefully the trolling on Cassie's sm isn't affecting their relationship), I do think they'd want to give a happy ending.

There's enough drama as is, and though that makes good reality tv, people also really want a happy ending, even if that ending involves bumps along the way.

TPTB care two hoots for their "happy ending". IMO of course and from past seasons. If they have the opportunity to show drama then they are not above throwing the lead and his/her choice under the bus.

I agree with your post . I think both are very happy at this time in their realtationship. You can see that Colton is very happy you just can see it in his eyes. I think we will get the drama when Cassie leaves but will get a happy ending when he goes to LA and ask her to just date. I think they have had many SHV’s since they both live in the same area and can easily get together without anyone knowing. JMO

@whit90 @lavendarfan I hope you are both right I think they make a cute couple, it's obvious how much Colton was into her. I just don't trust TPTB if they don't get what they want .We've seen how bad they can be and how they will throw anyone under the bus. Hoping for the best though. jmo

While I am still sceptical about their maturity in relationships, finding the right person can change everything. Rooting for them, as they continue to date IRL, to find happiness together if they are really a good match

Cassie’s date pretty much solely revolves around the fact that she and Colton have a ton of chemistry. I don’t generally mind this sort of thing as there really is a magic to watching a young couple in the early stages feel such a magnetic attraction to each other. However, it was almost TOO much…

As I said over on The Morning After, I watched this part of this episode at a café during dinner break from rehearsal and was literally trying to shield my screen from other café-goers. It was mortifying. At least in a public setting, it felt like I was watching some soft-core poop. Also, I imagine both Colton and Cassie would have preferred to have a bit more actual conversation shown (because we all know it had to be there). The extent to which their making out was shown and having that alone described as “an amazing first date”, in my opinion, actually cheapened their connection.

In the evening, we’re reminded, in case you've forgotten, that Colton and Cassie have great chemistry. So much so that the editing department deemed it necessary to include a Night One Pick-Up of Cassie’s just so we could get her calling him hot….

Remember that Night One dress, and remember that same Pick-up session all way back from the first episode…

Further, pay attention to the hair, makeup, and lighting between the two Pick-ups in the above .GIF. It looks an awful lot like the exact same Pick-up session, but with a wardrobe change. I still think this ITM room is in our future. Given the four ladies we’ve seen in that room—Cassie, Caelynn, Tayshia, and Hannah G—and the fact that we’ve ONLY seen them in it, I’m increasingly thinking they could be the Final 4 ladies (hence my frontrunner predictions) and that that room is from somewhere during Hometown week. We’ll see if I’m right about this.

I posted this on reddit, but also wanted to share it here. I have a hunch on how the production team will spin Colton and Cassie's ending positively. Bachelor SM just released another teaser about Colton worried that he's going to end up with someone who doesn't want to be engaged. That soundbite and fear has been CONSTANTLY used throughout this season. The irony, right? Since he pursues someone who self-eliminated because they didn't want to be engaged.

I have a hunch that the overall morale at the end to wrap this season and CC's relationship in a nice bow is to show that love trumps all, even an engagement.
Because in the end, despite's colton's fear of not being engaged, he chases after Cassie in the name of 'love.' I mean, if Colton was adamant on getting engaged with someone who will accept his proposal, he should have either chose Tayshia or Hannah G since they seemed to be there with the mindset of being engaged. But what does he do? He sends them both home, not giving Hannah G a FS date.

Thus, I think what the production team is going to do is show how love wins, and in the name of love, Colton feels he doesn't need to be engaged. His constant mention of his fear of ending up with someone who doesn't want to be engaged is implying that when he chooses someone and gets down on one knee to propose, they'll reject him. However, he ends up choosing to pursue someone who didn't want to be engaged instead of just choosing the remaining 2 girls who would've accepted his proposal. So, overall, I think at the ATFR they'll show Colton and Cassie developing their relationship in the name of love. I mean, it's heroic in our society for a man to chase a girl and not give up. People will like it, though I expect some side-eyeing comments towards Cassie just as what Elyse received after her self-elimination.
