When a 15 y.o. tells you “Please don’t get annoyed that your opinion is different to mine, just respect me", it’s time to take a really hard look at yourself. Of course she didn’t, she just got more enraged.

It may not be fair, but when her friend behaves like that, it makes Lesina look bad too.

Nothing as bad as what Peter's so called friend described his thoughts about the women on his season (HS the type to give someone an STD, Lexi a broken down Lindsay Lohen) and a juvenile drinking game Peter was part of.  Too bad so many people were talking about it on Reddit that we couldn't have seen more of who his so called friends were like and people forgot about it.  

As people like to note all the time, 'It's just a tv show'.  JMO

True, that was bad on a whole different level – like almost every aspect of Pete’s season.
What makes it even worse is that Pete was right there when those things were said.
And what makes it EVEN worse is that (according to Reddit) it happened when he was still engaged to HA.

I’m so glad I had a NZ show to watch this winter.

Lily has talked a lot about her reluctance to do this show and how she feels this will be her last. Let's see if this holds true.

I completely agree.  

Plus I have a feeling a lot of what her friend is saying is stuff Lesina wants to say but can't, so her friend is saying it on her behalf.

ETA:  Adding SCs for the record.  Mocking children is not a good look IMO.

I don't think she had a good look from the start to me. IDK. I just never got the appeal of her in the first place.

Hmm looks like we only have one bachelorette for the FRC

(PG) Tonight, big decisions are on the horizon as fantasy dates commence. But, with just one rose to give, who will sweep the Bachelorette off her feet and who will face heartbreak?

Nice spotting @Jordan44 - that's definitely not plural!

VERY interesting. I did feel like Lesina could throw in the towel.
What about AMOG puffing up around Hamilton tho?

Wait, this could just be Lesinas FRC only, meaning Lily is having fantasy dates and her FRC is the week after

Article states the mens tell all airs BEFORE final, so yes IMO we have Lesinas FRC next week then Lilys after.

The majority of filming for The Bachelorette was completed in 2019. The episode filmed this month — which is set to air before the finale — brings together all the contestants to discuss their time on the show.

@Jordan44 Interesting.  Airing the reunion before the finale will allow Lesina to make a faster getaway once her last episode airs.  

If she picked Aaron and dumped him all she needs is a "our relationship didn't translate to the real world" post.  If she picks no one I expect she has already drafted some kind of eyeroll-inducing essay preaching self love and "not settling".  Then when her contract expires she'll probably give a series of tell-all interviews shredding production and accusing them of manipulating her.  

Either way I really just want her part of the show over and done with so we can see what Lily & Richie have been up to.  

ETA: Noting the reunion was filmed March 10, in case it becomes relevant later:

I listened to an expert on viruses and he said just because a person comes up negative on a test, doesn't mean they should act like they don't have it and not do what is recommended as it's easy to get a test that doesn't catch it in time.  That some are putting way too much emphasis on a test and not the recommendations to stop the spread.
