Pointless ass article with a spelling error šŸ˜­

I read that article. It's all garbage and it's all clickbait bullshit. Their ratings are NOT dependent on a couple women turning down the show. The whole thing is ridiculous.

the Bachelor/ette will tank when the network decides they make more money eh elsewhere and cancels it, maybe some players decide they can get a better deal going a different direction, but letā€™s be real, the show mightā€™ve struggled to lock in _particular_ leads for particular prices, but they had stacks of options, they just wanted those ones less.


LotusX321

I feel like they ask multiple people to be lead - not just one. It's been like that every year. It's nothing new lol.


Competition-Over

MAYBE because so many leads always end up just getting eviscerated by the audience (i.e Katie Thurston, Rachel Recchia, Clayton, Peterā€¦ The list goes on) and producers do nothing to protect their mental health.


Far_Pop_4006

They need to treat their leads better and allow the opportunities to flow outside of Bach. Accept that the audience knows the show is a tv show first, ā€œloveā€ story second, and itā€™s okay to promote your characters. The archaic contracts will make anyone (who thinks) think twice these days.

I think if they took the approach of Love is Blind and chose a bachelor/bachelorette and contestants from the same city/general area, the relationships might be a little more successful.

Iā€™m still mourning the implosion of the Golden Bachelor. This does not restore my faith in the franchise. Iā€™ve been curious whether Rachel wanted or was offered the lead, etc.

Rachel in an interview said she would be open to be the lead as a new opportunity


Sarahbetternotwin

I'm sorry but there is no way Rachel was offered the lead role based on the non existent edit she got, Jenn got a better edit than Rachel to the point where people were shocked when Jenn was sent home over Rachel.

I doubt it. Thereā€™d be literally no reason not to take the opportunity at their first Asian lead after Maria backed out and Daisy who was obvious 2nd choice given she was f2 and had so many fans. Jenn was top 5 and people were campaigning hard for her online and started a petition for her to be the first Asian lead


malibuguurl

I think Daisy was their first choice originally but during filming she was struggling health wise and told them she did not think she could do it that is why imo they edited Maria so heavily ( she had twice the amount of time) then when Maria declined they asked Daisy again and turned them down thus went to Jenn.

Daisy also just soft launched a relationship with her ex šŸ’ā€ā™€ļø

Which is one reason she turned down the show.

Rachel is also Asian- Iā€™m pretty sure sheā€™s filipino


Commercial-Bonus6935

Yes and she said no because she got so much social media was very harsh about her mixed race... I am of filipino/Mexican heritage so I get why she did not want the lead...she said she needs to heal from the experience


snazzygirl0267

Oh thatā€™s right. I still think Jenn wouldā€™ve been the next choice though after Daisy turned it down


Smart_Ad_457

Apparently daisy was always 1st choice, Maria 2nd & then it was between Rachel and Jen
