Bachelorette 14 - Becca Kufrin - General Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

GuardianAngel wrote:@eirekay I totally agree. I'll never believe it's ok not to propose, in MF's mind he wants a wedding on the ATFR there's no way IMO he would settle for a no proposal. That's why I think Millsy is up to something. We know from previous contestants and most recently Jason Mesnick live twitter Q&A they may not force anyone but the pressure is intense. Along with what I believe is manipulation, they'll get what they want and won't give up until they are satisfied.

Amy Kaufman wrote:Contestants have felt immense pressure to get engaged

"Almost every contestant I spoke with who made it to the finals said they felt they had no choice but to get engaged at the end..." writes Kaufman.
Jesse Csincsak, who was previously engaged to 2008's Bachelorette DeAnna Pappas, says contestants "don't have a choice, kind of."
"There is no 'What if I don't propose' option," he tells Kaufman. "It's just 'Here's the ring. Go give it to her.' "
"When you're twenty-five and you're just a baby and you're in a foreign place and are still hungover from the day before, they're in you're head," he adds. "They make you do what they want you to do."

Jen Schefft, the lead of The Bachelorette's third season in 2005, echoes his sentiments. "As the Bachelorette, she knew she didn't want to marry either of her final two men, but still didn't feel she could end the show without picking one of them to at least continue dating," Kaufman says in Nation.
"The producers basically told me that I was coming across as a horrible person on television — a really cold, (expletive) person," Schefft says in the book. "I always felt like I wanted to give them what they wanted, without being crazy. I was still true to myself, but I didn't want to disappoint anyone."

I hope they get some great locales because I’m not excited about the cast we’ve seen so far.  Watching a bunch of NFL rejects and personal trainers prance around is not too thrilling to me.
