Editing, Editing, Editing - Bachelor 11 **Spoilers**

[marlap]

Good-bye Andy, Hello Brad...

I thought of something and posted it on DeAnna's spoiler thread but some of it is really for this thread...

I know this show is edited to the extreme. Hillary might have been encouraged by the producers to ask "Who wanted me to go home last night?" and the producers might have encouraged a couple of the women to raise their hands. I'm sure Hillary and Jade were encouraged to go through Jenni's things! That was so set up!

In fact, it might have had 12 takes!

I'm sure Hillary and Jade are receiving much worse edits than they deserve, ...but they are willingly playing the parts. It wouldn't surprise me if all the women are asked during casting:

"Would you be willing to go through someone's bags?"

"Would you be willing to gossip about other women on tape?"

Etc. etc.---and the producers pick some of the women partially on they answered "Yes." I bet if all 25 women we saw the first night answered "No way!"---we would have not seen that exact cast that night.

They have to have some women willing to be the bad girls.

Yes! I agree totally!
I even posted something somewhere to the effect.
These producers push and push to get as much trash and drama as they can. That's what makes the show for the most part.
Not that I don't believe for a minute some of the girls need hardly any pushing to do their jobs!

I am very disillusioned this season. Reading Tina, Kate and Bevin's blogs has really opened my eyes to how much this show is manufactured.

These gals are pushed and prodded to do stuff, brainwashing anyone?

Color me disgusted.

I am glad that past girls have come out with blogs and statements confirming what I have believed for seasons.
Yes, it disgusts me the extent the producers go to, but then the girls and the viewers have a hand too.
I watch the show more for the train wreck than the romance-if there is any romance. LOL SO I help perpetrate the cycle.
And then the girls should be fully aware by now the extent of risk they take by being on the show. SO they add to the mix too. But if some are looking for fame, maybe their risk is worth it.

You know, call me naive, because while we all know producer prodding and influencing goes on, I never realized to the extreme extent stated by Bevin, Kate and Tina.

Scarce food, telling the girls if they don't "play along" they will go home. The Bachelor has his 5-6 picks, the rest are producer driven, getting the girls to cry by bringing up sad stories of their family members. Yikes!

I guess their really is a price for fame? But the fame is so fleeting, why submit yourself to the trainwreck?

Solisa called it the most stressful 3 weeks of her life and she said in her exit speech she should win an emmy.

Will some one of you please share the links to those blogs you mention? Thanks...

We need a new thread for Season 11.

Thank you so much Jewelsy. I was waiting for this one to open up. This was my favorite topic last season.

I think the girls asked to do these things are known by Fleiss that they have no chance with Brad but are fillers just like every other show. It's all part of the game. I say Brad knew first or scond nite whom he was truly interested in. He had his 6 at least.
