Bachelorette 13 - Rachel Lindsay - SM Media - *Sleuthing Spoilers* Discussion

Rachel looked gorgeous tonight on the WNT. IMO.
I was personally not surprised that TPTB gave her less than 15 minutes on the WTN.
TO me it was the bare minimum TPTB could give. I am not surprised, only to say she deserved more.
Do I hear a bus with her name coming? I think so.

I'm with you Kasha. I would think due to the historic nature of her being the Bette, they would give her a little more than the bare minimum. Not really sure if they even know how they are going to present her.

The thing I will say about her SM posts is that Rachel should be posting about her dresses/outfits. Loved her rose ceremony and WTA dresses.

What? The show has plenty of interns working for them or should that can do this for the lead who is not social media addicted. Make a new account for her and do the job. I don't think part of her contract includes posting crapola on social media. It used to be all the lead had to do was the show. Shilling was not part and parcel until recently, nor was following, liking or hash tagging. IMO if you aren't into this someone else can do it.

Because of the discussion yesterday, Rachel's followers jumped by 13k overnight.

Right social media has changed things, I actually like that she barely posts, they could get someone to do that for her, from what Christen said on afterbuzz tv Rachel doesn't understand the SM game at all and I don't think she is even bothered by it that much.

Also Bachelor fans already helped me out lool already found the info on the dresses.

How much time have other leads had? 15 mins seems generous or am I forgetting?

Something isn't adding up for me and their historic season. IMO she wasn't getting the 'ette edit however IMO Nick appeared to be "briefing" her with some of their conversations. We hardly saw her all season. She is announced early as the next lead but it's as if the next day we are back to normal and nothing happened.

IA with the others and said so the other day. She has people that can set up SM for her, and promote her till the cows come home. I don't see any production tweeting out her usernames for people to follow her. IMO There isn't the level of excitement from the public as their normally is when 'ettes are announced.

Even if she doesn't use SM often, IMO that's not a reason for people NOT to follow her.

It could be as simple as MF was told by ABC that Rachel would be the lead, and he is going along but not happily because he doesn't like having his control usurped. imo

I keep thinking it maybe a a duo 'Ette season with Raven and Rachel or even Corinne and Rachel. This time if they do a duo season, both ethos are kept until the end. 2 Journeys.

I dont think they would do that to the first Africian American bachelorette, people would cry foul and I know I would not watch at all. I know I would be pissed off.
