P.S. Dear Team Arie and Team Sean, I have not really jumped ship. I'm kidding!

(to the bolded)
I looked at the link (read the text), but was scared to press play. I'm still in the office...was scared to let it play out loud on my speakers, never know what he'll say! Cant find my headphones at the moment...will listen when I get home in a little while!

Probably best to wait until you get home. The whole thing is about him peeing in the pool and encouraging kids to pee in the pool. For realz. Doesn't he realize that stuff like that goes viral? I guess he doesn't care about his reputation. I miss Mark Spitz.

Mark Spitz. With that name alone you gotta wonder. But it can't be as bad as swimming in pee soup. Or poop soup for that matter.
Ryan was spoofing on himself. Snarking himself to a large degree.
But I still would not swim with him.

I've always said these 15-minute celebrities do a better job of snarking themselves than we ever could!

I wouldn't swim with Peeablo or kiss him! Now, this is a face I would have liked to kiss in 1972:

ETA: I have absolutely no spoilers or speculation about Bachelor 17. I apologize to anyone who may be getting their panties in a wad about the off topic posts. I shall retire to my kitchen now to cook supper.

Did any of you see the Olympics segment on Lochte in which it showed his closet? It would put Emily to shame in the shoe dept - walls of sneakers including his own shoe deal which has his name on the soles.. So that wet footprints leave his name on the sidewalk, etc. It was hilarious.

The machine must be twisting and turning...to have a brand name interested but in such a complicated situation. If Ben's season hadn't tanked so badly, I bet they would be over the moon right now.

Ryan is on Leno tonight LOL

Kasha, check this out! Lochte admits to Ryan Seacrest that he does indeed pee in the pool!

I'm so frustrated with Fleiss and co. right now that I wish Lochte on them. Let it be the trainwreck that the show never recovers from. I never understood why people loathed Fleiss or RS..I get it now! They deserve each other!
I know that Laureen (sp?) had said that it won't be Roberto, but I'm really starting to think he is the next lead. My frustration stems from the fact that Fleiss clearly asked us about Sean and Arie..the polls were between Sean and Arie..
I've been watching this show on and off for years, much to my family's dismay...my colleagues used to tease me so much about it that I've denied watching it lately..this latest manipulation really got me thinking that this show isn't for me. The mere fact that I'm upset right now, should be my cue that it's time to quit this show once and for all. Fleiss completely turned me off #notcool

I *think* that TPTB's plan is to wait so it doesn't get out before filming and the girls leaving that it's Roberto - as much as I love him, the general public is probably assuming it's going to be either Sean or Arie and are going to be disappointed. I think Fleiss's constant tweets about deciding are just to keep public interest and build suspense. I feel like they probably already know their preference order.

Anywhoo, the earliest we will know for sure is next Monday when BP finale is filmed, but I doubt it. Unless it's Sean/Arie.

Nothing against Roberto at all as I think he is a gorgeous, stand up guy, however I do not understand MFs social media PR strategy on this one. Engaging fans to support Sean or Arie for weeks and having CH state we listen to the fans....then opting for a guy with much less current support is a bad move. He is the one that tweeted both are different but two great guys (Sean and Arie) and asking for support for the selection of either.

He obviously can select who he wants for whatever the reason (looming lawsuit) but he shouldn't have positioned it as the fans have a voice at the table to the degree that he did. Using Twitter to mislead is different than the faux teasers and PR they put out elsewhere. I can't wait to hear the spin explaining the pick.

Because of that I hope it will back fire on him big time once and for all

LOL Yeah, I saw something on pee-gate last week on one of the "entertainment" shows. (tv rags) I believe they even got Phelps to admit it is not uncommon, which says something.

Concerning this quote:

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!!
A poll is nothing more than a tool to MF. It has no merit other than to get people talking about the show. All MF wants is increased talk= increased ratings. R A T I N G S.
A train wreck is probably needed next season to help the franchise.
