Hacks!!!

I  wonder if it has something to do with foreign hackers spying on Presidential candidates and their campaigns.  That seems to be a top story today.

I think he's talking about his former producer Cassie who now works with his competitors on the show Coupled which premiered last night on Fox. She worked for the franchise for over 8 years. She has a lot of insider information that he considers proprietary. He wants to have the only dating reality tv franchise. He doesn't want other networks trying to take his market share JMO

Thanks Jen, makes sense that could be the reason for MF's tweet.

JoJo just liked that on IG.

Welllllllllll that's ahhhhhdorble if she really feels that way. Reminds me of K liking an Insta at exactly this time about a man that will fight for the woman he loves

I really hope she feels like this.

She deserves to be happy and in a healthy relationship.

This has been posted in Jordan's thread, but I'll post it here too since it is from SM.

Is Cassie's husb. Peter still with the TB franchise? This is so weird. 
I used to have long talks with my reality tv editor friend regarding reality tv editing. He said TB franchise was very tight with confidentiality and the crew.

^As far as I can tell Peter is still with TB based on his Twitter profile anyways. I think he might have a more senior role now though.

Also Cassie tweeted this out regarding her involvement or currently lack thereof with TB

Cassie (L) Scalettar ‏@cassielambert
@LaurenHero1 @BachelorABC I am a freelance producer so I work on more than one show. Not currently on Bachelor but so much love for them!

I got the impression that MF was okay with Cassie doing the other show. 

He usually saves his venom for RS. JMO.

In a highly competitive business where networks are competing for advertising dollars I don't think MF is happy that Fox is competing for his market share. When he initially found out about Coupled what he heard was most likely downplayed to keep him quiet. He saw the first episode and isn't happy. Cassie used her insider information for the gain of Mark Burnett/Fox.

RS doesn't affect ratings. RS brings attention to the show. SM spoils the show just as much or more than RS  JMO

The 'hack' tweet I think is related to this one he deleted after 2 minutes that I posted in the Miscellaneous thread earlier today.
