I would think ABC would be all over the wedding of its first Bachelorette of color. Except they haven't done a big wedding for awhile and according to Reality Steve and other gossip, it was because the network didn't think it was worth the cost. It's the reason Des and Chris didn't get a televised wedding either and Des admitted to Reality Steve in an interview a year ago that they were in talks with the network and essentially they were stalled for awhile. She then said that eventually, after two years of stalling on the network's part, she and Chris just decided to go ahead and do it on their own. And that's the impression I got from Rachel's interview. That talks are still happening with the network so they're stalled on waiting for the final word to know if they're either going to do it on television or go ahead and do it privately. YMMV but I don't judge any of the couples for entertaining the option of the televised wedding. For one thing it greatly reduces the personal stress and costs on the couple. And I mean if you're willing to go on a dating reality show to meet a partner, is getting married on television that big of a deal? As for Rachel's being the first Bachelorette of color, that may be, but by the end of her season she was loathed by many viewers for daring to not pick their special snowflake and many did not care for her actual choice. Even to this day where by all accounts, Rachel and Bryan have shown themselves to be a very solid and happy couple, people still throw shade on her page, insult and denigrate him constantly. So I can believe that ABC may not be sure that there's enough of an audience for their wedding. 27 minutes ago, chocolatine said: Nothing is stopping Rachel and Bryan from having a private wedding any time they want. And she said as much. I thought Rachel was quite clear that things are on pause because they're waiting for the final word on ABC.

Everyone loved Arie the kissing bandit, yet look what happened. Everyone hated Andi, Kaitlyn, Des, Nick, Ben... Being the lead is not an easy gig - your mistakes and flaws are manipulated for drama and ratings. If you play along with producers, you look like a dumb patsy. If you dont, they make you look like a bitch or a whore. Very very few leads come away unscathed. Fwiw, I think Rachel had it worse because of the live finale. Her (understandable) raw anger at Peter came across as cruel, who SHE had dumped. The leads come across better when it is more of a cool “thank you for the journey” and “Im sorry I hurt you moment” because that is just more endearing, but I understand that she didnt know how that would play out. Ultimately, the more I hear from her, the less I like - I think I always want the leads to be awesome, but they are just shallow fame whores, and in time that wears very very thin. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1537-the-bachelorette-in-the-media/page/28/#findComment-4518405

I really also haven't cared for many of the bachelorettes .. andi and Rachel being numbers 1 and 2 on the do not like list . And for me , my dislike for Rachel had little to do with how she acted toward Peter at the end , and more because I thought she came off as very fake and had a know-it-all vibe .

Mabinogia July 24, 2018 Share July 24, 2018 For me JoJo was a terrible lead because I wasn't rooting for her (which is a personal preference thing so that reason is very me specific) but also because I knew by the second ep who she was going to pick so the journey was all kinds of boring on her end. The guys on her season were more entertaining than her. She was just there, making googly eyes at Jordan and leading the rest of them on as she has to until the end.

leighdear July 24, 2018 Share July 24, 2018 I think a major problem I had with Becca's season is the lack of entertaining contestant hijinks. I don't mean the scary Chris meltdown type, but the bromances, the shirtless bonding rituals and the fun, yummy looking, dudes-being-dudes shenanigans. There was way too much of Becca lamenting her relationship with Arie. Seriously, I really don't think any other lead has ever wailed, whined, bitched, griped and moaned about the person that dumped them to get them to their title position. She left absolutely no filming time for us to enjoy the guys. And THAT is why I watch the Bachelorette. Certainly not for the girl. I think she was the suckiest sucker that ever sucked.

The question is why did they choose it. Is it because it was too obvious who was winning so they needed a storyline or the guys just weren't that hijinky so they needed a storyline. IDK.

If she goes about her business and doesnt talk about her season, I wont. I never listen to Bachelor related podcasts because I have zero interest, so I cannot speak on what was or wasn't said on this podcast. That said, I have read many of Rachel's interviews since her season ended and the only times she mentions Peter is when she is asked, which of course happens if the interview is show related. However, when it isn't, which has been many, as she has been making moves on getting more into sports, she never talks about Peter. In the times I have seen her mention him, I have found her to be pleasant enough and simply forthcoming of what's asked of her. Other than that, I follow Rachel on social media and that woman seems genuinely fulfilled and happy with her life. Yet, and I don't care if some want to deny it but viewers are the ones who seemingly just will not move on. I mean this is an example of the ridiculousness Rachel deals with. The woman was tweeting once about the NBA and commenting about a trade decision she didn't agree with. Someone responds, "oh like your decision to not pick Peter". I'm sorry but the fact that people take this show that seriously to be so invested still a whole year later is already pathetic enough as far as I'm concerned. And for me it's especially ridiculous because one, viewers saw a highly edited version of these relationships. And two, the whole "relationship" with Peter was like eight weeks while dating others. Meanwhile she's been with Bryan at this point for a year. Yet some still want to believe the woman is harboring some deep desire or resentment or whatever. And again, from my vantage point, I maintain that the ones who are harboring or holding onto anything are the viewers who are still hung up on Peter and his gap tooth. And to that I say, you can always go after him yourself since last I heard he's still single. And I do love how there's still snark thrown Rachel's way and yet that whole deal of Peter's ex exposing his fuckery was almost entirely ignored.

Frankly, for me, that was the only thing she had going for her. The way the franchise managed their breakup made it so that the only thing they COULD do for her was give her another shot, but one that was more controlled. I still have a serious problem with what they did to her at the end of the last season with the break up. Becca is at the mercy of the producers too. Anyone having watched the program on Lifetime where they showed behind the seasons all the manipulation and such. One is exhausted, hungry, stressed and none of us make good decisions, especially with the influence of the ever-present alcohol. So if the producers were pressing her to mention Arie a minimum number of times throughout the series, then that is what she does. There have been way too many times this season where Becca's angst over this drama or that drama was drawn out interminably. Wasn't the ejection of Jason over half an hour long? The problem here is that the formula is getting too predictable. I believe the ratings may be down this season, partially because of Becca not being a draw, but there really is nothing new under the sun.

We know the phrases they will say, we know the manipulations that are going on, it is all so stale. Replace Becca with any of the other women from Arie's season and you'd get pretty much the same show. Even Krystal because, while her hijinx were fun as a contestant (to some. I loathed her), even she is smart enough to know that as the lead she has to do as she's told and play along.

Awesome that I have a job where it is a lot of computer work and I can listen while I work. Christon was on and he is one awesome guy!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQk1fduN51s I started to view but I don't want to spend 47 minutes listening to this; from the first 10 minutes, Christon seemed like a great guy! I liked that The Bachelorette was enough for him and he is not interested in being on BIP.

I will say Rachel is very poised, but I thought she had a really great job as attorney .. Rachel has been pretty upfront that she wants to get into broadcasting, mainly sports broadcasting. She's done some work for ESPN which is part of the ABC family so we'll see if she can make a career happen. She did say recently that she is doing contract work for the firm she use to work full time at so I guess you can classify her as a wannabe sports broadcaster/part time attorney. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1537-the-bachelorette-in-the-media/page/28/#findComment-4546691

At least they can sell the ring & split the cash, since they've been engaged over 2 years. He's not guaranteeing it's true, just what he's heard. Grains of salt available upon request. *LOL* I wouldn't put it past those 2 to stay together for over 2 years just so they can keep the ring . 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1537-the-bachelorette-in-the-media/page/28/#findComment-4546975

They tend to be the most intelligent and successful students but are frustrated that most of their time is spent in administrative detail instead of arguing in court. Top occupation for divorces too. 23 hours ago, leighdear said: Not so much in the media, but Reality Steve is hearing that Kaitlyn & Shawn are over.

And aren't the leads supposed to have semi-real jobs? What IS Shawn, actually? That's interesting. I didn't watch Kaitlyn' season but this morning I was reading about them in People magazine. Shawn was talking about enjoying their long engagement. He was interviewed while promoting his workout/beer drinking event. If true, this goes to show that anyone that likes to talk about how great their relationship is, lies like a rug. And my, he does look like Ryan Gosling. https://people.com/tv/shawn-booth-talks-relationship-secrets-kaitlyn-bristowe/ 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1537-the-bachelorette-in-the-media/page/28/#findComment-4547493
truthaboutluv August 2, 2018 Share August 2, 2018 I saw the speculation about Kaitlyn and Shawn about a week or two ago. As usual, social media tells the tale. Apparently Kaitlyn started liking and re-posting a lot of emo quotes about love and relationships and apparently she's currently in Canada with her family, without Shawn and someone claimed that she wasn't wearing her engagement ring. Interestingly, they were seen together for the July 4th weekend, where per their social media they seemed to be at a pool party with friends. From Kaitlyn's emo social media posting, the gist some are getting is that she's been ready to get married and that Shawn is the one who is stalling. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1537-the-bachelorette-in-the-media/page/28/#findComment-4547599

betha August 3, 2018 Share August 3, 2018 Hmm, Kaitlyn said on her podcast this week that it's not true and she took off her ring and gave it to Shawn so that Shawn can "re-propose" the real way.

I guess time will tell! Because getting down on 1 knee, telling the woman you love her, and asking her to be your wife isn't the "real" way? Sure, the cameras, provided dress and ring he could never afford aren't what everybody does, but still..... 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1537-the-bachelorette-in-the-media/page/28/#findComment-4550720
Mabinogia August 3, 2018 Share August 3, 2018 What does that even mean? The "real way?" Did he not say words in the vein of "will you marry me?" and did she not say something implying "yes"? Because that's the real way. Everything else is just set dressing, literally in their case lol. But if that's not what happened, what a stupid lie to tell. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1537-the-bachelorette-in-the-media/page/28/#findComment-4550739
