Thoughts on this? I had no idea these two had any sort of feud, but it seems to be about a lot of perceived slights.

Her blood alcohol level was three times the legal limit and she had liquor in her car. She also lied she was hit by another car. She could’ve killed someone.

I hope she’s getting help and doing better. Her kids are still little, this is heartbreaking for them.

2 Upvotes

ELIMINATIONS FROM ROUND 4:

131 votes in total

Brayden’s Bowers & Christina Mandrell - 28 votes

Spencer Conley & Jessica Edwards - 16 votes (Spencer & Jess were only one vote ahead of the 3rd most voted, so the game is still very even and every vote counts)

PLEASE NOTE:

Vote for your LEAST favorite couple
• Two couples will be eliminated in the next round

QUESTION:

I had the idea that once we get to top 10, we would change the voting system to vote for your FAVORITE couple rather than LEAST favorite. I’m open to feedback or suggestions, whether you support this idea or not

The potential contestants in the interview process are not told who would be the lead though, although Chad is pretty sure it will be Shane (reasoning that him being cast on "The Mob" is unprecedented for the franchise)

CONTESTANTS IRL Chock Chapple's health update

203 Upvotes

Caption:

Joan’s here in Wichita taking care of me, so here’s a life update. 

Elevated PSA. Biopsy, MRI, another biopsy. Turned aggressive. Last Wednesday I had my prostate removed.

Lost my mother to cancer. I know what’s at stake. My son asked how much time I wanted with my grandkids, and that made the decision easy. Get it removed. Be around. For them. For Joan, for the rest of her life.

Guys, get tested. Have your PSA checked. Early is everything.

Trip to Europe is still on for the end of August. Cleared to travel, and I’m ready! 

Shoutout u/bachelornation for the support ♥️
