Again, I was skeptical in the beginning. Clearly, Matt was skeptical of Shayne too. But I saw these two interact and saw a love developing. I think the fact that Shayne is an actress is still a concern for many. But others were also actresses. Perhaps she did go into this thinking it would give her some publicity and might even be fun, but perhaps too she really did fall in love in Matt. I think she did.

No, they have all acquiesced and picked "someone." Only Brad bucked the system.

An extra sentence in a contract would take care of that.

Although TB suffers through a ton of editing and I'm sure segments are beefed up to keep viewers from falling asleep, it is still a reality show and I think TPTB basically let each season run its own course. I can't see someone as classy and bright as DeAnna taking on a second season if she thought she was being scammed in any way. I realize that so far this season's outcome isn't winning the popularity vote, but for all the dastardly deeds Fleiss has been pinned with, I don't think fixing the outcome is one of them.

But they still all had the same ending except for Brad that is what I am saying......So why say that Matt is a setup just because he didn't go for A, B but went for C they all have had NON-BRAD ending before an I am sure if the Bachelor continues, the ending will continue with them choosing someone they feel the most connected with at the time, not unless we get another Bachelor with the option not to choose placed in his contract, which I doubt......

For the first time in Bachelor history, I don't have a horse in this race. Actually feels kind of good! I would have gone with Chelsea, but....(no pun intended).

And, while Fleiss wanted to play up Brad's ending even more, him watching TV eating a submarine sandwich, the "suits" at ABC were not happy campers with the ending.

No variation of opinion, please, jlccaz.

Pour moi, and I hate to keep saying it, but I really want to make sure you are all sure how I stand on this: I PREDICT A WEDDING. I'll leave the appropriate emoticon to the reader.
For those who think I'm a romantic idealist, please insert a
For those who think I'm being sarcastic, please insert a
For those who think I do think there will be a wedding, arranged by Fleiss, please insert a

I'm trying to save my delphic oraculars till DeAnna's season, since she's Greek, so for now, this will be my last pronouncement: I think there will be a wedding.

I agree that Fleiss would let the Bachelor pick his favorite, banking on John Q Public's short attention span. The casual viewer sees the FRC and the ATFR, is satisfied, then starts thinking about American Idol, The Biggest Loser, or whatever is put before them next.

I agree and that is why I think he fed her the lines he was told to feed her to keep her on the hook. And, I will say again, I think when she called him a douchebag the look on his face was real for once. He finally saw what was happening. I really believe he was ashamed of himself and he should have been. Although, he still doesn't totally get it because he appears "not so nice on the WTA". I really think he likes a good joke when he is dishing, but not so much when he is the one in the hot seat.

If the rumors are true and there is already trouble in paradise he will get a taste of his own medicine.

Karma is a biotch!!

Actress, schmactress. They're a dime a dozen.

BUt, Shayne's father and the producer worked together on a previous reality project. Now that...that's interesting. But the fact that there is an actress on The Bachelor? That's
