Re: Reality Steve - Thread #1

Oh my gosh. Another with a dead spouse? TPTB, please, no, just say no!

I did some digging and searched for more information about his wife that died. I will post it in the confirmed contestants thread. She was gorgeous and friends still leave notes about how much they love and miss her.

West Lee no longer works at the Attorney General’s office in Columbia, SC. He left his job to be on the show. His last day was in mid-March and his office is cleared out. I hope the producers check those facts.

I think so too, I guess that is not an easy job to leave and return to because of all the deadlines and things changing all the time.

If true, sounds like he was ready for a new start. Maybe he already has an offer in private practice?

Perhaps a career change? Not so easy to just quit a job and have something lucrative fall into your lap. He must be bringing some remarkable professional gifts to the table. Folly like this every season.

Ali quit her job... she seems to be doing alright now

I'm with you IrishGal. In this economy there are so many people, including very seasoned well-respected professionals and students coming out of college, unable to obtain jobs in their degree. I don't see someone "quitting their job to go on the show" unless they have another income source to draw from or something else lined up. Perhaps West was planning on making a switch and it made sense to do it in conjunction with the taping of the show.

LOL! I guess West is hoping Ashley is going to be his own personal Roberto?

So the conspiracy theorist in me is thinking maybe this is a paying gig....he is a paid F2, and future Bachelor....just saying

The optimistic, romantic side of me wants to believe that after the loss of West's wife, he has realized that the only thing in life that matters is love. Hence, he quit his job and gave up everything for a chance at love.

The pessimistic, cynical side of me thinks there's a chance that West was guaranteed either a spot in the F4, or that he was promised the role of The Bachelor.

If so, get ready for TPTB to milk his tragic back story as a young widower.
