Re: Andi Dorfman - The Bachelorette 10 - Discussion - #6

I pre-ordered Andi's book, because I'm soon leaving work for my maternity leave, so I thought I'll be bored out of my mind at home, so I'll give it a go. Then I read some of her interviews and it just made me sick that my hard earned money will go towards the 'success' of Andi Dorfman's literary career, even in the smallest way,so I canceled it. I hope if there is something worth reading about, it will be spoiled here...

I won't pre-order either. The only way I'll even glance at this book is if I hear that Andi actually takes some responsibility for her own actions and doesn't just blame the guys. I don't see that happening, so chances are I won't be reading it. I can't support exploitation of others.

There were 10 winners of signed copies in her giveaway and several have tweeted that they already received the book. Maybe one of them is a member here and can share the deets? Please, please, please!! I need a warning of the storm ahead!

I think she will take responsibility for some of her own behavior, but it will come out in a "yes, but" way.
The book is apparently 320 pages. Yawn.
Too bad more of the focus could not have been on some of the antics that go on, showing the types of things most of us like to see for the outtakes and some of the behind the scenes type stuff that would not have infringed on anything contractually.

I'm not planning on reading Andi's book and didn't read Courtney's other than an excerpt that someone posted here. I don't really care about their point of view and that's what you're getting. Hopefully those who do read Andi's book will know that and not take everything as the truth. All JMO.

I should clarify myself a little better. I agree that spilling private stuff isn't right for anyone - Andi or Courtney. If someone wants to write a book, then talk about other things in your life like Weddings - Des, or Sean - his faith. The gossipy one-sided tell all is wrong. I was trying to say that I understood WHY Courtney wrote her story because she was villified and felt she needed to tell her side of the story since TPTB threw the first punch so to say. And maybe I am giving others more of a pass than Andi becuase she is just not likeable to me. Andi had nothing to respond to after her season was over. She should be writing a book about how to live in NYC job-free, travel and take duck-face selfies. She is an expert in that! IMO

@Mustang19 Thanks for posting why you thought Courtney wrote her story, makes sense to me. I don't read any of the books that are written by contestants, just because they aren't the type of books I read. I enjoy reading, have little time for it, so if I'm going to read it's going to be what I know I'll enjoy. I'll read three books in a week when I'm on vacation, and I know I'd never waste my time on this one.

This one IMO will be popular among the younger 20 something year olds, and those who are looking for details on what happened with her and her ex.

Why isn't there a release date on the S & S's site?

These ladies are the kinds that make guys wary by spilling private secrets to anyone willing to part with their cash.

I am definitely no Andi fan. There really isn't much difference in these past contestants cashing in on their opportunity, and I can't really blame them. Although, when it's years later, it is definitely a major eye roll for me.

One of the differences for me is what their book is about. I didn't read Sean's or Emily's (or Melissa or whoever else wrote one), but the difference between Courtney and Andi to me is that Courtney was portrayed as a villan. She was crucified, whether she earned it or not. I felt she was justified in telling her side of the story, and it sort of matched with what we knew of her on the show - she spoke her mind. Andi was not portrayed as a villan. She was the "beloved bachelorette". She is now a hypocrite by kissing and telling, as she accused Nick of doing. Nick spoke spontaneously about it on TV (some think he planned it), Andi consciously is spilling the beans where it makes her look like a vindictive witch. IMO

She really spills everything except her part in it, it seems.

by nikikass Wed May 11, 2016 9:18 am

Yikes... I am quite shocked she only told him about Nick just before the episode aired.

Thats only 2 weeks before the live show. Oh Andi, you silly silly girl. That relationship was over before it began.
