I figured I might as well get this started. Hopefully Becca will be an entertaining bachelorette. She certainly seems nice and intelligent.

This is not about Becca in particular, just about the show in general. I wasn't sure where to put it. Hope this works.
I just started reading "Bachelor Nation: Inside the World of America's Favorite Guilty Pleasure" by Amy Kaufman ( https://www.amazon.com/Bachelor-Nation-Americas-Favorite-Pleasure-ebook/dp/B074LSZX3B/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1523733918&sr=8-1&keywords=bachelor+nation+amy+kaufman)
Very interesting stuff. Details the origins of the show, what goes on behind the scenes, etc. It also mentions the show "Unreal" and how the character of Quinn was based on Lisa Levenson, one of the producers (the one responsible for the roses, the candles and the champagne). So far it's a fun read! Supposedly they cover what "really" goes on in the Fantasy Suite.

Another book that gives great insight to what goes on behind the scenes is Courtney Robinson's book.
I had to LOL when Chris Harrison said that UnReal was nothing like the Bachelor/'ette... it is everything like the Bachelor/'ette being that it is former production members that created and write the show.

I read Courney Robertson's book a couple of years ago. Changed my opinion of her. She got a raw deal.

BJM, I've heard that from several people who read her book.

I have to chime in... YES Courtney's book was eye opening! Same as Babyjoxmom... completely changed my opinion of her, I think she's favorite bachelorette now.

Well, I wouldn't go that far as to declare her my favorite, but I did read her book and she did come across as more sympathetic and human than she did on the show.

I didn't read any of the books out there, but I have mad respect for anyone that comes out against the producers of this show (as well as Chris Harrison).

I always liked Courtney more than the general consensus so it’s nice to hear about the book.

Reality Steve's opinion of Courtney changed dramatically after he read her book (and if anyone knows about production manipulation, it would be him).

Becca's first poster as the Bach-ette is out. "Let's Do The Damn Thing!" She looks gorgeous.

The guys seem so very cheesy! And the model just can’t be for real.
But dang, she looks gorgeous

Well she has announced she is engaged.
The next day Arie and Lauren felt compelled to go on some show to announce their wedding date next year,even though the wedding won't be televised. But they announced on tv.
I recorded this and plan to watch. Hope for pretty locations.

That guy that told her that she had to walk forward to meet him made all the other guys look good, even the chicken.

First time I watched in a long time. I like this girl. Interesting group of guys and picks. I liked her decisiveness as seen early in the show.

I started watching it and made it through the limo introductions, then fell asleep. Stupid On Demand doesn't let you fast forward. Argh!

I can't believe Jordan (the model) is for real. Production must be egging him on to say some of the stupid things he says. What an ego! He's getting the a**hole edit, for sure.
Dogdoc, I can't remember which guy it was who wanted her to walk to him, but that struck me as weird too. I'm glad she stood up to him.
Don't believe anything you saw in the promos for the season. They mix everything up to confuse and mislead us. Can't wait to watch it play out.
There seem to be some real, genuine guys in this group--mixed in with the weirdos and inflated egos.

Schaeffer's blog is up (https://sheaffertoldmeto.com/). Best part: she already "loves to hate" Jordan, the model (don't we all?) and has dubbed him "Zoolander."
I missed that girl!

Really??? Nobody??? Anybody home????
All I have to say is the producers made her keep Jordan. What a tool.

I watched it. She's showing more personality than I ever saw when she was with Arie. Clearly, she has some favorites already.... The mini van guy and the first one-on-one date guy.... who looks a bit like Rob Gronkowski (Patriot) to me.
