I liked Jon and was sad to see him go the first night. Definitely no to Luke! Can't see him having much in common with Rachel anyway.

Jon just needs to leave the quilt at home if he makes a return. laugh out loud

The thing I'm most curious about is how Fleiss made the decision to announce Rachel as the next lead while she is still on Nick's season. I know that they announced Nick as the lead prior to the finale of BIP airing (thus giving away the fact that he and Jen S split it off), but that's quite a bit different IMO than spoiling the ending of the Bachelor since that is a "who will he chose?" thing. Maybe the new philosophy of TPTB is "If you can't beat the spoilers (RS, magazine articles, sleuthers, and SM slip ups), then join them." They're basically spoiling their own show.

The early announcement is being touted as necessary for casting. I am not really convinced that they announced Rachel early in order to cast a more diverse cast for the sake of trying to increase her odds of finding Mr Right. I say this mostly because I truly believe that TPTB don't really care at all if any of the leads truly find their match. I think the early announcement was done to increase the chatter about this show and maybe even to draw in a few new (and possibly more diverse) viewers to Nick's season to check out Rachel specifically.

They announced it early to get black men to apply for the show, they're not applying in record numbers because they think this show is silly, at least that's what I hear from many. TPTB don't want any flavor flav's and I'm sure Rachel don't either. .. laugh out loud

No Luke sorry.

NOPE I want all new guys.

The only returnee I would be interested in would be Michael G. They would be such a hot power couple. I kind of want Jojo's guys to disappear forever, although I know that's not going to happen.

I mean I don't mind some of the guys on that list but yeah I'd prefer to pretend JoJo's guys never happened. laugh out loud

I'd also be fine with Michael G. Other than that, no thanks on returnees. Smiley

Not a fan of Mike G at all, don't find him attractive or very charming.

by ReneeM Thu Feb 16, 2017 11:21 pm

I've always liked Mike G but I want fresh meat for my girl.

I'd like to see more of Jake. JoJo let him go night 1 so we never got to know more about him. But he has a good job and a nice smile. In his bio he answered "where do you see yourself in five years" with "married to the bachelorette with out first child" may end jojo was just the wrong bachelorette laugh out loud

Me either. I followed him for awhile but I found him arrogant and rude at times.

I decided to see what he's been up to and low and behold:
