Rhondinella January 18, 2014 Share January 18, 2014 Well, this probably won't upset anyone. http://tvline.com/2014/01/18/juan-pablo-galavis-anti-gay-bachelor-controversy-remarks-pervert/ Summary, Juan Pablo, on stage at winter press tour, reportedly said he didn't think gay or bisexual people should be on The Bachelor because it isn't good for kids to watch, then went off a little on the "weirdness" of kids having two parents of the same sex, before referring to gays as "more pervert, in a sense." It will be fun to watch ABC spin this one, although they will undoubtedly credit some of it to the language barrier. I think it was more a case of a big cultural difference and the speaker not being able to read the room. I personally wonder how many ABC publicists were in the back of the room simultaneously hyperventilating and trying to wave him off while he was speaking. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/278-the-bachelor-in-the-media/

reggiejax June 27, 2014 Share June 27, 2014 I was in the mood for something cheap, trashy and gossip filled so I broke open the piggy bank and spent $11.99 to download Courtney's contribution to literature. It is exactly what you would expect it to be. Courtney attempts to set the record straight and hopefully shore up her image, but because she is who she is (someone very self-centered, who possesses neither a clue nor a filter) she ends up reinforcing every thing we believe about her. She attempts to explain her behavior away by saying that a) she has a sense of humor most don't get and b) as always seems to be the case with Bachelor villains, she does not make friends easily with women, being more of a "guy's girl". I certainly believe both of those explanations, though I would add that perhaps people don't get her humor because it isn't funny and is in fact very mean spirited. Ironically, despite the title of her book, she in fact did make a couple of friends during her time, most notably her "BFF" Casey Shteamer, but also Rachel Truehart and Jaclyn Schwartz. But otherwise, this book only confirms what we already knew: She and Ben had sex when they went skinny-dipping, pretty much all of the rest of the women hated her, with her biggest enemies being Emily and Kacie B., and Ben is a douchebag. All of this is surprising to absolutely no one. About the only thing "revealed" is that the Bachelor's casting process is a lot more intense than most would believe. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/278-the-bachelor-in-the-media/#findComment-159529

He had a blog to gloat about being right about Chris being the next Bachelor and not only called Arie bitter but then threw shade at him by claiming he was hooking up with someone named Chelsie and that as soon as he thought he was going to be The Bachelor, he suddenly stopped calling her and ignored her. He doesn't say who this Chelsie person is but states her name like people should know so I'm wondering if it was the Chelsie who was on Juan Pablo's season.

But I think he handled himself well overall. Of the final four, he was the most articulate (the bar is rather low, I realize). I think he's nice enough, but I also wonder how he'll be as the pursued rather than pursuer. I'm unconvinced he's a Sean type, so it'll be interesting to see how he carries himself.

Because honestly, if anyone played it perfectly last season angling for that Bachelor position, I'd say it was Chris. Good for him, it worked out, just as it worked for Andi with her "dramatic" exit from Juan Pablo's season. I don't know, with the show's constant recycling of contestants, I think it's made me wary and suspicious of contestants who seem to say and do all the right things that they think will make the audience root for them.
