One of the ads tonight was asking for participants in a new Bachelor spinoff about seniors looking for love. Do mention of whether this will be a TV show, or an internet show but they won't people over 50.

So strange when Madison was crying outside, first there were large kangaroos watching her, but after Peter joined her you could see several production people out there. Did they think she was going to bolt and jump a fence, or hurl herself off the cliff?
Have they ever made the final three share a suite like this? I figure they wanted maximum drama because of Madison's stance on any use of any fantasy suite.

I get that Madison has strong beliefs but why wait so long to bring it up. This season has been terrible. I can’t see him being happy with either of the other two gals. I don’t think he knows what the heck he wants.

I don't think it was fair for Madison to drop this bomb on Mr Four-Times-In-A-Windmill the DAY OF fantasy suite. Madison has seen the show & should know what to expect. I will say that I DO agree with her. I think it's gross you could be engaged to someone that was intimate with another woman or more days before proposal. But if you are going on this show, you have to be incredibly open-minded & expect this to happen. That being said, what a BORING show last night.

Those kangaroos looked like they were wondering what she was crying about.
Why should Madison expect Peter to pass up a chance for over nights.
There is no way I would have climbed those stairs to get a view of the city. Ack!

I was proud of Madison for sticking to her principles.

Madison should stick to her principles, absolutely.
Madison should not think she can dictate what others do.
Madison should not have gone into this production, since it clearly crosses her line, which allows quite intimate actions and conversations to be had in front of producers, cameras, (kangaroos), to be edited and broadcast, but stops short of the fantasy suite.
It really defies logic that this attractive young woman would even need this show to find a husband. Seems like her pool of prospective mates would be found amongst like minded men.
She basically said that she could to erase all of Peter's past exploits in and out of windmills, but threatened to bail if he dared to be (more) intimate with the other two women.

I just stopped watching it. While I like a good train wreck show, this was just too much.

We don't know how aware Madison was of the behavior. Remember that SOME bachelor/bachelorettes did NOT sleep with others.
I think it's fair for her to say that Peter could not do so if he wanted to be with her.

Isn’t she 23? All the women are incredibly young, imho, I liked the conversation Hannah had, she seems to put things into 3 different relationships, and even though they are happening at the same time, she’s able to put that aside, but I think her line would be if Peter talked about their relationship with the other 2 women.
I do think Madison has a point, which should be explored, not on tv, not on the day he’s all set to “fantasy suite” a woman...
The weird for me, the suites sure are different
And why are the women together (I know, I know...) THAT was awkward and THAT was ridiculous, done just for drama due to Madison’s beliefs! I think the show liked her basketball connections, but, wow...
And that’s what The Bachelor franchise does so well...
(Why am I watching again! lol@ me)
eta - thanks Seamonkey, I really agree with you

I think she should have spoken up earlier. Not fair to whoever was sent home at final 4.
But indeed, the producers just had to ramp up the drama with the women sharing housing. That was a first.
And the first night, filming through the frosted glass door.. And why did Hannah to along with that? So cringeworthy.. That it was filmed and exploited.
If any of them went on the show actually not having researched this show, shame on them.
But with their daughter on the show, filming, tell me her parents would not have researched, if not before filming, then before the hometowns. And mom would inform..

Snoopsmom, the age for the seniors on the new reality show is they have to be at least 65-years-old.
Seniors Dating Show
"To be clear, this is [age] 65 [and up]."
A casting notice for the new seniors project had originally appeared online in January, disclosing that "producers of The Bachelor" were looking for single men and women age 65 or older.

Good grief. I can’t see them just doing seniors. How about people in their forties and fifties too?

The premise is interesting, but I think 65 and up is too old. Wonder if there is a maximum age or if we'll end up with a lot of people in their 80s strutting around in bikinis and speedos.

I wonder what adventures they will have for the 'oldsters'.
I can ask that, because I am an oldster.

We certainly don't want to see 65 year-olds sitting around in their bathing suits....

I’ve always enjoyed seeing older people at the beach having a good time or doing other “youthful” things and enjoying themselves. Apparently, I’m in the minority with that view.

Real life, cool! This show? Not so much. Those people having a good time are not the likely subjects of Mike Fleiss and Chris Harrison.
I guess it is better than being catfished (which is unfortunately so common amongst us oldsters that there are seminars at senior centers to warn people).
