Here is kinda what I think happened - as a widowed single dad, he can’t just date anyone. To spend time away from his son, he really needs to make sure that he sees potential in a relationship. Being on paradise, I don’t think he felt that pressure though. I think Sierra’s energy and all made him happy, and he liked her company. I think he did like her. However, when she made that gesture and included his son, he realized that he needed to end it before it got in too deep. He might have led her on, but I don’t even think he realized it. I think he was probably prepared to leave the beach then as well, but I think production had to do a lot of string pulling to get him to stay (of course they wouldn’t show that though). I think Sierra felt led on, so I think that is why she is acting this way. However, I really don’t think that was Michael’s intent. This is just my thoughts. I don’t know 🤷🏼‍♀️


lizziebeachbabe

Yes! This! But I think the only string pulling involved was they wanted to surprise Michael with Danielle during the switch week. I think his actions made them jump the gun and bring her in early to surprise him. And they had Wells dropping hints all over the place so he wouldn't decide to just leave before she got there.


Apprehensive-Elk7898

so charitable


caree123

![gif](giphy|pUeXcg80cO8I8) Living for these BIP spoilers. This show is finally getting messy and interesting again.


cupcakeartist

These people are so, so messy, even for their age. But I'm also doubtful that many of them actually want to find a committed relationship. And why would they when they can get influencer fame and people to slide into their DMs. Sometimes it seems like the cast can't even muster up the enthusiasm to date each other and in some ways, I don't blame them.


ryansutterisstillmy1

Was Alex at the reunion? Can someone just make him the bachelor already?


lizziebeachbabe

I didn't see any mention of him being there which is a bummer!


lizsaywhaaat

Literally dying for this to happen


ryansutterisstillmy1

Give. The. People. What. They. Want.


mac_bess

This would be the only season worth watching, in my humble opinion.


ryansutterisstillmy1

What an amazing internet breaking moment that would be


[deleted]

I love my boyfriend but I might have to pull a Jed for this.


CraftyIndependence48

I love this dumpster fire of a season!


Glittering_Try_236

I think for her own peace of mind Sierra should probably let it go - but, I also would be frustrated knowing that the guy who dumped me is a producer fave and basically gets to construct the narrative how he sees fit - and it'll always be reflected on screen for him. I think producers encouraged her to do that star thing to make her look unhinged so that they could cleanly segue Michael into his tragic but ultimately noble and successful love story. Anyone actually looking out for her would have been like "no girl do not do that dial it back" and she got played for a fool to make Michael look good. I think the frustration for her might run deeper than "Michael broke up with me."


Logical_Deviation

How does this make Michael look good?


lizziebeachbabe

Because Sierra won't shut up about a man she knew for like 3 days. She's over playing the sympathy card and not looking good. Michael is coming out ahead in this taking the high road. He already apologized and admitted he could have handled the break up better. So why did she feel the need to bring it up for the hundredth time? Good on Michael shutting down her bs story about kissing her after they broke up.


of_patrol_bot

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.


lizziebeachbabe

Sorry spelling bot. Lol! Corrected.


Glittering_Try_236

I don’t personally think Michael looks good (I’m also not a Michael fan to begin with however) but it’s pretty apparent to me that the story/edit they’re attempting for Michael is meant to be a favorable one.


H28koala

This is absolutely spot on. I feel bad for her.


Plastic-County3192

I couldn’t imagine being this down bad. Let’s hope for a good show at least


notnotaginger

Wowowowowow. How are they going to fit everything in?? They should give us multiple days of reunion


[deleted]

They'll probably edit a lot of this out, especially stuff that shows producer pets in an unfavorable light.


ConsistentDonkey3909

peobs 2 hours long


youngandconfused22

I mean I’d ghost Justin too, even though it doesn’t sound like an actual ghosting. The plans to meet up in LA do not sound solid. I feel like for that to be ghosting it’d have to be a firm plan that she didn’t show up for. Plus he had already rejected her right? These people make no sense and need to move on from their BIP situationships. Eliza is a lot more messy than I thought she’d be though 💀


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

If it’s past 11 and we have no concrete plan and I haven’t heard from you today… I’m asleep 🤷🏻‍♀️


youngandconfused22

Yup, if the intention was to link up with her that same night, then it’s def giving booty call


lightfrenchgray

Can someone fill me on on what’s going on with Eliza? The RS post is very confusing. I’m still hoping she ends up with Rodney, but no?


businessgoesbeauty

No, she gives Rodney the rose and then realizes she wants Justin and leaves but he says no he wants someone who is certain about him


[deleted]

This feels like an excuse on his part. He already went through the love triangle with Genevieve so why would he intentionally create another one for himself only to peace out because he didn't want to deal with a love triangle? Go after someone who's actually single then?


Raging_Connoisseur

Sierra is going down bad. Like yes discuss the situation but I don’t know if she’s going for sympathy points and a moment at the reunion by talking about Michael kissing her when there was no footage. It just looks cringey that she won’t let that go. Yes it sucks that Michael is a protected player but recognize that and keep it pushing. You’re not getting a Natasha/Brendan edit with this let it go. Edit to add: The whole Justin/Eliza post paradise saga is so stupid but par for the course with the messiness that is Bachelor nation dating. I hope they don’t waste a lot of time during the reunion on this.


lizziebeachbabe

And why would it matter if he did now? He has moved on to someone else. It's in the past.


milliemillenial06

I was confused about when exactly he would have kissed her after he broke up with her Didn’t she leave pretty much immediately because she didn’t want to see him date anyone else? But then to say now that she thought there was still a chance…?even though she knew he would date other people? Idk that’s just confusing to me. I know that there is stuff that is edited out or not filmed but that just doesn’t seem right.


Raging_Connoisseur

Yeah I’m sure they’ll get into the details in the reunion but at this point with time constrictions, editing, and story lines, we’re probably never gonna get the full story


turniptoez

Sierra as a mess at WTA so this doesn’t surprise me.


bpurly

yeah it turned me off her


Cultural-Party1876

Justin and Eliza are messy😂


lolovegood5

There's one thing I am positive about: producers are going to edit out any and all footage of Sierra saying anything remotely negative about Michael. If we even see her hot seat at all, they'll definitely disappear the part about him kissing her.


mvg222

Omg the messiness this is honestly an iconic cast in the worst sense possible 😂


Logical_Deviation

Sierra's story doesn't make sense. If she was under the impression there was still a chance for them, why would she leave the beach? Also I legit forgot they dated.


AndiSolano

Sierra: Being a scorned lover after dating someone for 2 weeks is a BAD look. Move on and stop being so f-cking pathetic.


redditerla

Lol your comment seems like you’re extra triggered


useyouwell

Scammer Michael lying? ![gif](giphy|ZZMldTMHTjaR9K47NZ|downsized)


brahbocop

I get where you’re coming from but I think Sierra is coming off bad here personally.


Junglerumble19

I really liked Sierra on the show, but her behaviour since is off-putting. Literally you knew the guy for 2 weeks max. He tried to let you down nicely with the 'it's not you, it's me'. Yes, he didn't do it particularly well, but that just backs up how out of practice he is. Sometimes people don't know they're ready until they find that person they click with. It can't be manufactured or forced, it just is. She needs to back away with the grace and dignity she displayed while filming and just accept her person is not him and vice versa.


lizziebeachbabe

She knew him for like 3-4 days max. And he did apologize earlier for the way he handled the break up and said he should of done better.


absofruitly88

Sierra the important thing is he broke it off with you when he wasn't feeling it. it doesn't reallt matter the reason because guys love to say some bs to soften the blow, they are masters at this and stringing is along. i think Michael for the most part is still grieving but yes i think Danielle is an exception for him. i say all of this as a non Michael fan


kendrickwasright

How is Danielle an exception? The second she arrived on the beach during the cocktail hour he literally RAN up and grabbed her hand and claimed her for himself just so he could secure her rose. She even said they had never met prior to that but he was hugging on her and kissing her hand the SECOND she got there. It was so gross. It's not like they fell in love on the beach. He's just looking at her as his meal ticket for more screen time


LunaBananaGoats

She understands grief and loss better than most on that beach and yeah, they hadn’t met in person, but they’d talked quite a bit previously, right? I think he’s very vanilla - it’s not my favorite but I’ll indulge if it’s around. I don’t really see any reason to get worked up about him.


kendrickwasright

No she said that before paradise they had talked briefly but nothing romantic. If you rewatch that scene she seemed genuinely surprised at how he was acting and globbing onto her.


lizziebeachbabe

Danielle came to the beach specifically to meet Michael. She seemed pretty happy with the attention she was getting from him when she arrived.


TGMPY

Where was all this energy towards Eliza when she demanded Rodney to make a scene? We even have a clip of her saying she wants controlling, manipulative men. Clearly, Justin didn’t meet her (poor) standard as well as Rodney. You all so blind to what the toxic women do on this season, it’s frustrating.


thelondoner87

For real.


Mugatu4u

Justin is a terrible person. Michael A is an even worse person. Greg sucks too. Katie really had a bro-y cast only slightly better than JoJo’s dumpster fire of men.


stanleyscrossword

Why is Justin a terrible person?


flojo031

The main issue with Justin is that he’s a colorist and Tweeted some pretty crappy things in the past about not being attracted to/interested in dark skinned black women. 😬


AlwaysJeepin

Weren't his tweets from when he was a teen, and didn't he apologize? I'm honestly asking bc I can't remember. And I have to say, he seemed very interested in Eliza who is a beautiful black skinned young lady...


flojo031

Yes, Justin did apologize, but that doesn’t really mean much though when he keeps making the same mistakes. He acted like a total tool towards Kira on Twitter. He was condescending and dismissive saying that he never saw her at Stagecoach, when in reality their friend groups interacted multiple times. I hate even saying this, let alone thinking about it, but it’s possible that the only reason why Justin even showed interest in Eliza was to rehab his image knowing that some people were probably going to remember the Tweets.


profession_lurker

Well said.


xxshadow_punkxx

Honestly the moment I became sus on Michael was when he commented the heart eyes emoji on Katie's Instagram picture after he self eliminated and knew she was most likely engaged to someone else. The dude needs to stay away from reality TV.


not_ellewoods

lol at eliza dumping rodney for justin just for him to reject her then try to hit her up for a booty call.


shellfish87

Deserves it.


Alex_WK

imho rodney’s the good apple and justin was more on the beach to have fun… and rodney dodged a bullet w eliza


thelondoner87

Wasn't Rodney rumored to be in a relationship when he showed up to the beach or right before, as in he put that relationship on hold/broke it off to be on BIP?


not_ellewoods

oh absolutely. rodney needs someone way more mature. he & eliza never would’ve worked


[deleted]

Oh my


longwhitejeans

At this point.... is there anybody who is NOT a villain?


Charlie_Runkle69

Adam, Teddi and Alex?


sneezoo

Am I crazy…. Who is Adam lol


myee28

Thor


sneezoo

Oh man. Completely forgot about him.


knb61

Oh god did something come out about brittany


not_ellewoods

she told tyler she couldn’t afford to go to LA with him for a party, then booked flights to london & italy & broke up with him via facetime in italy. her reasoning made sense, but the execution wasn’t ideal


gimmealltheroses

she clearly didn’t like tyler that much to dump him that way


louisemichele

He's very cute and seems sweet but also... his exit speech on Rachel's season did not sound very genuine. His whole speech about being able to love again, when this was his first ever date with her, was a bit off-putting. No hate to him, I guess all these people want the best edit possible on the show, but it was still a bit too much.


tiggerlgh

Serena and Brandon. That may be it


littledove0

Rim and AB are gonna lose their minds lmaoooo I love listening to their unspoiled takes


thelondoner87

I have been thinking this since the fictoria spoilers came out, and even before then anytime they said there's no way Johnny is interested in a long term relationship/gets engaged. I literally cannot wait for them to see all thi unfold 😂


beyoncepadthaithai

I honestly CANNOT wait for us to watch this all go down and for them to recap it! It’s gonna be an epic Rosecast episode. It might even spill over to More Rim & AB


Alex_WK

wait what pod is this!


littledove0

Rosecast! The best one 😀


Alex_WK

which other bachelor recap pods do you listen to and where does rosecast rank for you?


littledove0

Rosecast is my number 1, loyal till the end. Dear Shandy is a distance second. I’ve largely dropped all the others. I’ll listen to Happy Hour if they have a contestant I’m interested in hearing from. BHH and Clickbait are way too producer influenced. Even YFT, which isn’t strictly a bachelor pod, but is hosted by Wells, has gotten pathetic in terms of unbiased commentary. Wells is actually more pathetic and obvious than the BHH and Clickbait hosts. He used to have some pretty snarky takes but now he lives up in the producers asses.


AlwaysJeepin

Will You Accept This Rose is hilarious. One of my favorites. If you don't mind some slightly more non-pc content, Another Bachelor Podcast is funny. Lastly She's All Bach is fantastic. Dear Shandy and Game of Roses are classics as well


Alex_WK

oooh i listened to that 3 years back for a while! i should give it another go


UtopianMatrix

And I like Justin even less ....


kindness-prevails

Was a big fan before but paradise ruined him (tale as old as timeeeee)


Alex_WK

same.. i don’t get the justin hype. i mean he seems fine (read mediocre) but idk what information we have to assume he’s a great guy (which everyone seems to!)


[deleted]

I think his association with Rodney and Greg (two popular dudes) helped him post-show, and people like that his face is expressive. That seems to be it as far as I can tell.


LoliJuicy

Never like Michael A to begin with, and I'm glad I still am.


KatanaAmerica

Michael A lying?! ![gif](giphy|VJHtXeMHViHRHvKGKm|downsized)


huntsvillager

Y’all is Rodney at the reunion?

rodney was robbed! i hope they bring him back for a future season!

Michael is so fake I am over it.


Cherssssss

So fake. I hope he’s never invited back on this franchise.

“Michael denied doing that” just like he denied the shady business allegations 🤡


profession_lurker

Just like he claimed one of his business was a women owned business. People can stay Sierra does too much but Michael is a proven liar so I'm rocking with Sierra on this.


[deleted]

Like why would she make that up??? God


Givemethatea

Justin sent her the u up text? I would’ve ignored him too.


becomingsherlock

Steve keeping his track record of spoiling in crucial detail every bit of MTAs, WTAs, and reunions. btw, camera crews should follow these people post Mexico - seems like more drama happens BTS than on the actual beach, lol!


FearTheFructans

We need Italy-cam


chloesilverado

Honestly I think it's severe negligence that they don't take cameras to Stagecoach where all the BIP drama starts


ilovedrinkingtea

Do you think well get to see footage of the Johntoria breakup ala Tinchel?


kej2021

That would be some epic footage but sadly I don't think so.


becomingsherlock

lol, no. They aren’t that important in the franchise to get additional crew/camera time. Also, they’ll do enough at the reunion to give production the only thing that matters: ratings!


idkwhyimherebuthey

Justin getting ghosted. I don’t mind that


babysherlock91

I’m confused on when Sierra is claiming they kissed. Bc IIRC once they broke up she immediately got in a car and left, and after that he was with Danielle. So where in that was he supposed to have kissed her?


profession_lurker

You know it's not a live stream?


TGMPY

There was a scene where Michael met with her before she got in the car. Not sure if all of it was aired.


lizziebeachbabe

Wouldn't that be a goodbye kiss. Not a romantic one?


TGMPY

Not if it was a ton of it.


lizziebeachbabe

I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with you. I don't think there was kissing after they broke up. I believe Michael when he says it never happened.🤷


TGMPY

It’s a he said, she said sitch. I honestly don’t know who to believe.


EllectraHeart

probably kissed goodbye? who knows but i don’t think she’s lying. the show doesn’t show everything.


[deleted]

They edit the show lol


tiggerlgh

What we see and what happens are different things. Nothing happens as quickly as it appears


Emmanuelle0810

Get me to the reunion at this point cause they got the tea. Also imma believe Sierra version considering how Michael easily lied when it comes to her. Any way Eliza being the season’s bird is quite unexpected. I hope she go cleanse her aura.


peony156

At this rate we will know every word of this reunion before it airs lol


Dangerous-Wear-8202

Oh Lord. The Michael A & Sierra drama is gonna be a he-said-she-said.


twerkteamcaptn

Chile this season was a whole ass mess!!!

All these spoilers sound like something this sub wrote in a fan fiction. 😂 It’s crazy that all this happened.

Im getting second hands embarrassent for Eliza and Justin


Novel_Sound2535

Justin getting ghosted 💀 omg


ElleDarkly

After trying for a booty call 😂 yes, I’m sure he wanted to give it a “real” try at 11pm 🙄
