I didn't watch tonight. I found the season kind of tedious. I'm just saying that they probably chose some time ago, since they start filming tomorrow night. Even if the lead has a flexible job, they still need more than a few days notice to get their life squared away for the entirety of filming.
I know they generally have several options lined up. I mean, I think Chase talked about having signed the contract and then they ended up going with Nick (BIG mistake!). I think, in this case, based on Daisy's reasons, maybe the choice of Jenn wasn't super last minute. It sounds like they played it up in AFTR to make it seem that way, but we know they love to play with the viewers like that.
IIRC, they went with Zach instead of Nate from Gabby and Rachel's season after the stories came out about Nate being a player. I think there was supposed to be someone else (maybe Peter from Rachel's season?) when they chose Arie. I remember him being a strange choice, since his season of the b'ette wasn't super recent.

Eh, Jenn wasn't my favorite from the season but like others have said - at least it's not Maria.  Maybe Jenn will surprise me and have a good season. I'm more interested in who the next Golden will be. |

I just watched the proposal, and those two are so dang cute (and sweet as can be). I usually don’t get overly invested in the couples, but I really want this one to work!

It looks like Jenn really was a last minute pick. Seems like Daisy backed out last minute since GMA apparently had a scheduled post announcing her as bachelorette that was quickly deleted. They always have backups so it makes sense. That sucks for Jenn because then the guys that were cast were for someone else. Not that they usually pick more than a handful specifically for the lead, but still. Hopefully they will add a few more for her, but it will be hard to do since I hear filming is starting this week.

I read that filming might have started as early as tonight, but I wouldn't be mad if they brought in a few additional guys at some point during the first few weeks. |

I'm on another forum and one of our members lives close to the mansion and goes and checks things out for us. She said there is nothing going on at the mansion. That would make sense if it was a last minute switch since she would have to get wardrobe done. Apparently the guys are arriving in LA as we speak, so my thinking is that filming won't be starting before Thursday. Our sleuth will keep checking since according to RS only the meet and greet is at the mansion and then they are flying out for NZ and Australia. |

Hooray for sleuths! Love ‘em.
What you say about having last-minute things to take care of for Jenn makes a lot of sense.

I just hope the media stops saying, "Jenn is the new Bachelorette, Daisy didn't want it!" Saw it over and over from many different places. Not a big Jenn fan, it's always a party for her, but she does not deserve to constantly be referred to as the back up.

Not a big Jenn fan, it's always a party for her, but she does not deserve to constantly be referred to as the back up. Unfortunately, because of how her Bette season pronouncement was made...after basically editing Daisy as the next lead, having Daisy on the stage numerous times including just before Jenn was announced as the lead and given minimum time on stage...that is how people will feel. To make matters worse, most assumed if it wasn't Daisy, it would be Maria, so Jenn just couldn't win. It is clear she is a last minute pick. I wish they didn't announce it at the AFTR. If they waited and made the announcement a few days later, maybe after showing Daisy and Maria didn't want it and set it up as teaser...who could it be? They could have shown that is who they wanted...or at least faked it to seem more believable. I hope the last minute scramble doesn't effect the season...Jenn gets some good guys, nice wardrobe and she continues the feel good seasons we have had recently. |

I listened to some podcasts and interviews Kelsey and Joey have done. They're very cute together. Kelsey said the car ride together w/Daisy was not as awkward as it looked! At first she kind of glossed over why and how it even happened (I'm thinking likely producer idea), but later said they were both so emotional that it was nice to have each other for support. Joey said he had no idea they came together until after, he didn't even think that was allowed!  Wells said he heard rumors that Maria had demands that the show wasn't going to agree to, so she and they turned each other down, in effect. He heard that she wanted access to her phone the whole time. Um, no one gets that. Then she also wanted to bring her friend as her producer/handler. No idea if any of this is true, but that's what he said he heard. Another reason I love Joey: they played the Newlywed Game w/Billy Bush, answering questions about each other, and Joey's biggest pet peeve was people chewing w/their mouths open. YES. My kinda guy. |

Yes, I totally agree. Also, I'm disappointed because, with Jenn being Asian, I was hoping that a number of the bachelors would also be Asian. But if they're already picked (for someone else), that's not likely. Not fair to Jenn who, I think, would appreciate having a diverse group of gentlemen to choose from. |
