As you know, filming is underway on the “Bachelorette,” and believe it or not, they’re already on episode 5, basically half way through the season. They did 4 episodes in CA and then this past weekend they moved on to Minnesota. If you were following along on my social media on Sunday, you saw that Joe Coleman got the first 1-on-1 in MN as they got to go on the field before the Twins game were Michelle threw out the first pitch. Well, the first pitch BEFORE the first pitch. This was about 20 minutes before someone else actually threw out the first pitch, but whatever. Anytime you can get a jersey from TC Bear and throw out a pitch, you do it:

(UPDATE): Michelle and Joe Coleman just received jerseys from the Twins mascot, TC Bear, and threw out the first pitch. Then kissed. Ooooo kissy kissy [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Yesterday was a group date. I actually got a video late last night of the night portion of the group date as the guys were all walking into the Semple Mansion. However, it was dark and I couldn’t for the life of me make out who was who. I just know how many there were. So I’m sure we’ll see more coming up and be able to deduce who’s still there. Today should be another 1-on-1 with rose ceremony [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] tomorrow night. They’re gonna be in Minnesota for another 2 weeks, so more is going to get out publicly no doubt. When I see it or hear about it, I’ll be tweeting and posting on IG.

Joe Coleman is a former state high school basketball player of the year in Minnesota and also played at the University of Minnesota. So I’m guessing that’s why he got this date. Yes, I’m aware of the things floating around the internet being said about Joe. Again, unless someone wants to come forward and put their name to it, I’m done reporting stories like this. Yes, I’ve done it in the past. I’m just not doing it anymore unless the person who comes to me is willing to go public with details about whatever it is. The show has been made aware this season about certain contestants before filming started. Outta my hands now. Took me a while to realize it, but I’m in a no-win situation. If I say I know something negative about a contestant but don’t report it, I get yelled at. If I relay what I know with no proof or evidence or who told it to me because they told me not to report their name and/or proof/evidence, I get yelled at for that too. Yet, almost all fans out there want to know which contestants are shady. They LOVE the tea. However, there’s a caveat to that: they only want to know if it’s someone they don’t like or are indifferent about. I’ve seen this for years. That’s the reality. I will absolutely share things I hear about contestants IF the person who tells me is the one who puts their name behind it. And since I implemented this policy last season, exactly zero people have wanted their name behind it publicly. The amount of things I heard about Katie’s guys and now Michelle’s guys is staggering. But no one wants to come forward. So we just watch the show continue on.

Now, some of you may think that means it must not be true if someone is not willing to come forward. Well, that’s wrong. I don’t blame some of these people for not wanting to come forward publicly. Why? Because of Toxic Bachelor Nation’s fan base. Why do they need the headache of strangers on the internet attacking them, calling them liars, blowing up their social media, etc? Hell, even if they presented evidence and proof (some of which I’ve seen and still have over the last 2 seasons), people who like that particular contestant will immediately dispute it and start harassing said accuser. So it’s really a tricky situation. I wish people would understand that negative info about contestants could absolutely 100% be true without you seeing the evidence or knowing who the person is who reported it. But I understand that we now live in a world where people’s own self truth is what matters more than anything else.
