Joe Coleman - Bachelorette 18 - Discussion

@chasus71 you already know that clean edit is coming.. especially if they run with the whole Michelle already knowing him storyline.. I’ll just make sure to take a snack break whenever he gets his 1 on 1

They always find a way to make the Lead look stupid and have the audience questioning their judgement, whether it’s behavior on the show they aren’t privy to or outside of filming.

@cupcakespiice Yes I am gonna have to shut that off whenever they try and showcase Joe because we all know that is what they will do.

You are also right @luvnunity the producers always trying to make the lead look like a fool no matter who it is which just makes me angry. All for the sake of freaking drama and keeps a love story in the background if at all.

My money is they never told Michelle and she didn't know any of this. I suspect she will be/was p*ssed when she found out and will be having a chat with Rachel.

If they did eventually tell her, I would bet it would be after her date. I will be interested seeing her reactions to him. I wonder if we will be able to see when things turn sour or why?

Those are all valid questions. I would be ******** pissed if they didn't tell Michelle the truth. And just based on what jenjas455 said on Reddit the day before last, I'm assuming that Michelle is as well. Maybe that's one of the reasons why she's laying low? She definitely deserves better than that. I think that if TPTB did tell her, it probably wasn't until HTD/FS.

I'm guessing that they probably did the same thing to Joe that they tried to do with Victoria F. on Peter's season back in 2019. Exposing him by bringing someone from MN (maybe a friend or family member of one of the victims/mutual acquaintance of both Michelle and Joe) on to the show to approach Michelle and tell her the whole story. I'm also wondering if they're planning on addressing the Joe situation at all. And what about his edit? Just based on the IG Live, TPTB are obviously trying to make Joe out to be some sort of Prince Charming. Ugh. The further that he goes, the harder it's going to be to avoid the elephant in the room. If one of the victims decides to come forward, and the stories reach the mainstream media, things are gonna get really bad for Joe. Considering what a 'smooth talker' he is, I'd be interested to see how he's going to talk his way out of this one.

I think this person from Reddit said it best about TPTB had already crafted Joe’s storyline before they even began filming




What are the qualifications to be a producer for the bachelor? Because I feel like none of them are qualified since they can’t even do the BARE MINIMUM which is don’t cast problematic people

ETA: the TikTok video that I posted in Naytes thread of Michelle and her friends at a bar taking shots.. the 3 girls in that video with her are also friends with Joe.. I wonder if they’re one of the people that tried to text her about him

For those sleuthing for years as @Sprite pointed out, it's a given imo it was all scripted. There are some here who actually saw scripts.

Realistically, guy applies to be on the show, guy mentions he knows Michelle, the script has already started. jmo's

Then we have CH in the past who would plant seeds and start the narrative as imo Tayshia and K seemed to have done. Same thing, different season.

Did y’all see the new promo during BIP? Joe said “it’s nice to finally meet you” and Michelle gave him this look

@cupcakespiice yep. I think they know each other and the guys will find out about it. She could have just come out and told the guys upfront but maybe the producers advised her against it. jmo
