Bachelor 23 - Colton Underwood - Media - SM - Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

Isn’t the interesting thing here that ABC is controlling the F3 use of IG?  I’ve always thought they should do this and it looks like they finally have.

I was thinking the same thing because I don’t think they want another “Garrett” situation so I think there encouraging contestants to check there SM and stay off of it.

I don’t think it’s just Garrett, I think it’s just common sense that one of the ways to figure out what’s going on at the F3 stage is to look for social media changes. It’s one thing to let the lead use his or her social media, because we know who the lead is from the get-go.  It’s  another thing to let the F3 use it in anyway that could indicate who has been eliminated or who the F1 is.

Why does it matter what the final 3 do on social media when RS will announce who is F3, F2, F1 anyway? If TPTB really cared they would stop RS from spoiling the season every year. As soon as RS spoils there are news articles all over the internet letting people know the outcome. So in my opinion trying to control social media seems pointless if you’re not going to stop someone like RS from posting every detail of the season.

Wow, Colton is back all over Twitter. If the FRC was the night of the 15th, the new couple didn’t get much time with each other afterwards, considering a 10 hour return flight from Spain.

Seems like Colton got barely any alone time with his F1. I know Beccett got about 4-5 days of privacy, they talked about wanting to sneak out.

But tptb have, they've tried suing RS multiple times, so I would say they very much care imo.

Yeah it seems like him and his F1 only spent 1 day and half extra together. If the FRC was on the 15th and he’s back home by the 18th that’s quick turn around time. You have to imagine that the flight back had to be at least a 20 hour flight. It’s interesting as to why they didn’t spend more time together. I believe the normal amount of extra time they get together is 2-3 days maximum.

Wonder if he did not pick anyone ? That could be why he is home so early  

That’s always possible or it could be he did not want to tempt fate being in intimate settings.

@caljacob8 Why 20 hours?  Mallorca is an Island off the coast of Spain and they gain time on the return to the U.S.
