@mbl thanks for the info. That makes sense after what I saw on the wiki page. If that's the case then the ett'e will be pushed back a week from it's normal time frame of filming.

I think as much as they don't want to, CH is going to have to be replaced for the next ette season. If not, this means, the ATFR will air on Monday March 15th, and he leaves for filming which looks like it will start the following weekend. I think that's too soon. IMHO

IA with those who feel Robin Roberts would be a good host. I don't want any BN people, I want someone experienced and knows the right questions to ask without worrying about who's hand you're biting. I don't want comedian's who are going to make silly jokes that no one wants to hear. JMO.

When Kevin Fraser hosted Decision Day for Married At First Sight, it was great because he wasn't involved with the show at all.

I agree. I think it should be an experienced TV host who can simply and unobtrusively introduce the lead at the start, ask a couple of simple questions about how the lead/contestant they're talking to is feeling, say it's the final rose and not get in the way of the show. Definitely do not want any comedians or wannabes who want to take over and make the show 'theirs'.

Lauren says it was the biggest smile we saw all season from Matt when he saw Tyler.

Tyler throwing his support for Katie as the ette, after Lauren asked him what he thought of that.

Lauren jokingly asks if Matt brought a new roommate, and Tyler says "we're not allowed to do that yet".

At the 8min mark she asks how did he and Hannah come to be good friends after everything that happened. That's when I exited. How long are we going to hear about Tyler and Hannah.

I think Rachel would be the perfect person to host ATFR if she wants to. She seems to have a good rapport with Matt so I think she can challenge him a bit and she’ll ask the tough questions of Rachael while still being understanding and giving her space to grow and learn.

It’s unfortunate Rachel can’t even really consider taking CH’s hosting job permanently without people thinking she was plotting that all along. She’s probably better off not taking it permanently. jmo

I think Rachel would be great for ATFR. Probably exactly the right person. But I don't feel like she should feel she has to take on the burden of hosting the show permanently. She'd have to ultimately be an ABC/Disney puppet... I can't see her wanting that even for the huge paycheck. She'll be fine without the show and would probably grow so much more elsewhere. Hosting the Bach franchise is a cushy but ultimately stagnant job.
