Those are really just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to manipulative edits that make things look how the tptb wants them to look, to increase the dramatic effect and, unfortunately, make the contestants look like they're obsessed beyond all sense of reason and decorum.
Yep.. she did make the mistake of saying the word "stalker" 4 or 5 times.. which was painful to watch. I didn't even say it.. or do anything remotely stalkerish and they pinned it onto me. All I did was go meet with DeAnna during a time when I was told I could talk to her. Go figure.

Believe it or not.. I never said.. hey can I go talk to Deanna right after her date, and will you shoot all the angles on the other side of those bushes.. so that it maybe kind of looks like I'm hiding.. even though there is a 6 foot tall camera guy standing next to me with a light.. pointed on me. And I'm actually just sitting at the fountain. Sigh

Hopefully Shannon is past the stalker edit, and the show will focus on her good qualities .. she seemed really nice and is quite pretty.

I don't do the Myspace or Facebook, so I am limited in what I know about them, but if you can find your way to hers, you might want to. From what I have read that she has written on hers, she is a bit downhearted at her editing. It might cheer her up to hear both from you and about your experiences.
I can see that they have taken what she really intended for good and have twisted it and will continue to twist it because she unknowingly provides them with a lot of fodder for drama.

Twilley, is she the only one from the show you have spoken to? Have you spoken to the other bachelorettes?

Re: Shannon **Spoilers**

Okay...Shannon just continues to freak me out with her giggly stalker knowledge of Jason.

She is just weird. And my God....get that girl a stylist. . .her taste in evening attire looks like something out of a freakfest. . . .

purple stripes and silver lame? Did she shop with a drag queen?

Re: Shannon **Spoilers**

OMG the things that come out of her mouth!! I gave her the benefit of the doubt when I had heard that she was upset by the editing given her, but by golly ... that's not editing, those are her words > her mouth.

The ice cubes? C'mon...

The whole "Why are you so cute?" X Infinity

QUOTING SHANNON

"If it works out between you and I, it is so worth it. I'll be bawling and it's like a fairytale, and Ty's going to run out with Keyla, my little puppy, and it's just going to great!"

Few fries short of a Happy Meal if you ask me.

She sure is an odd cookie. The "why are you so cute" was .

I agree - I hated that dress, it looked like 3 different dresses that were torn apart and sewn into one.

Re: Shannon **Spoilers**

When you say "Why are you so cute?" infinitum, that's like saying, "You are SO out of my league."

And, actually Shannon is adorable. I just love her headshot on the ABC website. Just a little clingy and needy (or that's what ABC is emphasizing in their edit).

As I've said before, hard for the editors to include something that isn't there. I thought [in the beginning] that it may be skewed editing, but after the last episode and watching some of the things directly spoken by her in front of the camera, I don't think there's actually any way to take things like:

"If it works out between you and I, it is so worth it. I'll be bawling and it's like a fairytale, and Ty's going to run out with Keyla, my little puppy, and it's just going to great!"

...out of context. She scares me.
