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

I don't see how being care free and living life to the fullest means you can't be two-faced or have ulterior motives or be fame-hungry? It has nothing to do with the ex, she still did the reality TV show and she was still caught talking about wanting to be Bachelorette. I also think people forget how curated IG is. You can present yourself however you want! Doesn't mean it's accurate or gives the full picture. And I've never bought this idea that when contestants go after a frontrunner, it's just jealousy or producer manipulation. We saw Emily was right about Courtney (which Ben tweeted), the girls were right about Vanessa (which Nick essentially admitted on his pod), Nick was right about Josh, Ali was right about Vienna, Molly was right about Melissa, and so forth (IMO).. Usually the contestants get to know each other really well, much more than the lead and definitely much more than the viewers. 

As far as Colton/Cassie go, I see them as a repeat of Lauren/Ben or Brad/Emily where it's all infatuation and lust and zero substance. I actually do like Colton and hope it works out for them, but I'm not holding my breath. All IMO.

The way she spoke to Kirpa honestly rubbed me the wrong way. It’s one thing if Kirpa was attacking her or being argumentative, or acting like Onyeka did in the Nicole situation, but none of those things happened and Cassie was so condescending and disrespectful towards Kirpa, then called her an idiot in her ITM’s. Like ok, maybe that’s her opinion because she’s upset but I’m sure she wouldn’t like it if Kirpa was in ITM’s calling her a lying bitch, which wouldn’t be that big of a stretch, but it’s not very nice is it? Jmo.

She got that mad and heated because she knew Kirpa was right 

all imo

I completely agree and just wanted to say, IG shows only the fraction, very consciously selected part of you that you allow everybody to see.

If they work out and will stay happy together, that will be great! But if they don't work out, I won't be surprised either. JMO.

IMO I think Colton is more into Cassie than she is into him. If she had rejected him wanting to just date her then it would look HORRIBLE on her. I think they will ride it out for at least a couple of months and get all the benefits/opportunities that being the “it” couple will get you.

The way I see it ... Cassie is a front runner and all the girls acknowledge it as per all the comments we’ve heard from other contestants. This is a young cast and they all love to talk smack to Colton about each other. As has been mentioned ... the telephone game is alive and well ... and many believe the recycled talk to be gospel. Could there have been a discussion about who could be the next ette? Probably ...but I’m sure they all either talk about it or think it .... after so many seasons you’d have to have an IQ of a rock to not know one of them will be! One of them could have said ....”wonder which one of us will be the next Bachette” ... meaning which one of this season’s contestants. ... and if you have ulterior motives ... a statement like that could be twisted to condemn. I hunk it’ll all be much ado about nothing ... as usual....

Imho I always find the participants, who rattle on other through telephone the most annoying and fakest. There's imho ulterior motives behind telling on Cassie, and imho it's most likely just a fragment of a conversation. And Cassie has every right to defend her character, when questioned, through a third party narration. Kirpa didn't hear these conversations herself, so imho she's playing a dangerous game of telephone here. Imo.

Also Cassie ia right, why do these other women spend the little time they have with Colton talking about other women? And why is Colton so gossipy?! He seems to actually like the drama, imho.

I was not impressed by cassie in that clip jmo.

I wasn't impressed with Tayshia and Kirpa little conversation at the RC, it tells me there's been longer conversation in the house. It sound like a game and they need to knock out the competition. I saw another side of them. Tayshia saying she and Kirpa will be the last two standing had me laughing. The way I see it they all could be fake especially Kirpa because I see zero interest in Colton on her part. Certainly Hannah B. Did Katie choose to only tell certain girls about their conversation.

I see it as the other girls see Colton is more interested in cassie than anyone else so when someone mentions something negative about her they want to run to Colton with it we do not even know if kirpa has even got to know cassie on whether she is fake or not she is just going by hearsay jmo

Bottom line is, we don’t know anything other than what production is allowing us to know. We don’t know these women. From what I can tell from their SM activity, they all seem to like each other post show so obviously all of this has been blown up for drama!

Cassie seems genuine to me and that’s saying a lot because I don’t think many Bach people are genuine. YO was a college docuseries about young Christians navigating life and season two is a follow up that is being aired, very strategically I might add, at the same time as the bachelor. I think the YO people are doing that to gain views for themselves. If anyone actually took the time to watch it, you’d see Cassie not wanting to be with the guy or has no intentions to be. She’s just a normal girl just living life like the rest of us.

But I am not here to convince anyone to like her or anyone else. Just saying that the bachelor never shows us all sides of anyone or all sides of a story.

From reading some of Colton's SM i.'ll be surprised if they are still together, maybe friends until they have to appear on ATFR together but after that I have serious doubts that they even continue to date each other. All JMO  im just not feeling it from both ends with these two. More one sided then the other and that usually never works.
