With the rise of lucrative social media deals, how does #TheBachelor weed out contestants just seeking Insta fame? "I'm not going to lie, it's a challenge for casting," says Brooke Karzen, an executive behind the franchise. https://t.co/BPojfXQNit

"To showcase just how much network television has changed over the past twenty years, when they (Trista and Ryan) tied the knot, their million-dollar televised nuptials drew in more than 20 million viewers — at the time, the network said the special drew the largest U.S. audience for a TV wedding since Prince Charles and Lady Diana."


and ... (my interpretation is Millsy loves to see drama rehashed and rehashed - ugh)

“There is definitely a fluctuation season to season and you know when it’s working, but really, I pay more attention to the social buzz than the actual ratings,” admits Mills, who noticed that power when Jimmy Kimmel hosted in 2015. “Jimmy told me, ‘I know those ratings are wrong because I got more feedback on that episode that I hosted than anything else I’ve ever done in my career.’”

Ashley Spivey is going to have a girl, and they are going to call her Penelope, "Penny".

I love the name. I wish her lots of good health and joy in Nov.

Sorry for the double post, I didn't see @Norcalgal post.

This is interesting. Almost an admission to scripting.

“The format is here to stay,” says Brooke Karzen, executive VP and head of Warner Horizon Unscripted Television, which produces the franchise. “There are tropes that the audience relies on. There are parts of this journey that are to be expected, like night one arrivals, the rose ceremonies and going for a proposal at the end.

To think we sleuthed with very little to no SM.

Cam Ayala - Hannah Brown's season was on. Such a sad story

@emiusacska thanks for bringing that over.

It was briefly discussed here.

We are discussing sleuthing in Jason Mesnick's thread which got me thinking of so many good finds while sleuthing.

I have so many but I thought of this one.

I have told this story before, while sleuthing Bachelor Canada, we sleuthed all over Italy looking for a building. @Mr&MrsSmith ordered a pizza one night. The picture on the pizza box was the building we were looking for!

Also Bachelor Canada, sleuthing the reflection in a wine glass to be the F1 during a SHV.

Rachel and Bryan, watch gate and so many more clues. One of my favourite season's to sleuth.

Two of my favorite seasons were also the two that I most enjoyed following the sleuthing for...Jillian's and Sean's. The merry chase that Ed led us on...he left, he came back...with his green shorts. Still one of my favorites despite his naughty ways. Who knew he would marry and settle down.
