Lets get right into your Hannah news since a lot has happened since we last spoke. On Thursday, you heard the podcast that I did with Haley Stevens, the ex-girlfriend of Jed. Well, at least I hope you heard it because it was very insightful. Haley told me on the podcast this was the last of media she was gonna do for a while and she’s stuck to her word so far. Later on Thursday, I was given exclusive information that I tweeted out in a 6 tweet thread:
(EXCLUSIVE SPOILER) Since this is big news and some don't like being spoiled on Twitter even if there's a warning at the beginning of the tweet, I will post it in the thread. So if you don't want to be spoiled, do not continue to read this thread…

There is an even further update to that tweet: Hannah and Jed are done completely. She’s broken off the relationship altogether. She’s not trying or hoping for it to work out. They are done. And I can also report, their breakup was filmed in LA on camera and we will see that during part 2 of the ATFR airing on July 30th. I’m sure this is good news to many of you since as soon as Haley’s story broke, many of you were excited to hear that she ended the engagement when I reported it, but also wanted her to not even try and give this a chance. And she did the right thing. Lets be honest, I don’t think she had much of a choice here. She would’ve been crucified for keeping him around after taking such a firm stance this season on women empowerment. So good on her. She did the right thing and I don’t think a single one of us is upset it’s over with Jed. It should be. For whatever reason, Hannah went to town Sunday night on Twitter, and in a span of 90 minutes, sent out these 5 tweets. Yeah, I’d say this is someone that’s not thrilled with everything that went down.
Patience. Not my virtue.

No I have not. But yes, I will find one now. Thank you for this nugget.

Not to mention, she was watching “The Notebook” on her IG story Sunday night and made it known to everyone “she’s a sucker for love stories.” Maybe ABC isn’t thrilled with Hannah’s sudden openness on social media, but hey, we’re here for it. Maybe Hannah just doesn’t give a f**k anymore, which to me, is what it seems like. You never want to take anything you see on social media as 100% fact, but, knowing what the behind-the-scenes spoiler is, then seeing Hannah spout off on Twitter Sunday night (something she hasn’t done all season), I think we can put 2 and 2 together here. So the next question is, how’d we get to this point? Here’s what I’ve been told…
After Hannah and Jed got engaged in Greece, shortly thereafter, Jed told Hannah about Haley. So Haley doing the media rounds two weeks ago is not the first time Hannah had heard about her or knew who she was. As for how soon after the engagement Jed told her, I don’t know the exact day. But I’m pretty sure it was while they were still in Greece. Bottom line is, Jed did tell Hannah about Haley – but after they’d already gotten engaged. However, up until last week, Hannah and Jed were still engaged. So whatever Jed told her, like I said to Haley and told all of you, was clearly not the full story. I’m sure he just gave her some generic, “Hey, there’s this girl I was dating before the show…we broke up…she doesn’t mean anything anymore…don’t worry about it” BS that we’ve pretty much come to expect with him. In fact one specific detail I did hear is that Jed told Hannah they were broken up. But whatever he told her, it wasn’t strong enough for her to break it off with him. Then Haley’s story comes out with the receipts and basically a week later she ends it? Yeah, I’d say Haley did the right thing by coming forward and providing receipts and Hannah did the right thing by ending it. And I’m sorry Jed, whatever you wanted to label your relationship with Haley, someone that you text “I love you. Don’t forget that” as you’re about to board the plane heading to LA to film the show is something much more than someone you broke up with, or someone you may claim was a platonic relationship. Please.

Reality Steve, you truly deserve an award for all the hard work that you do!!!! You are awesome. Thank you.

I agree! He’s right on top of all the juicy gossip and been getting it to us as it comes in. Love it! I just wish he had watched the show last night as I couldn’t wait to hear what he had to say about the scene when Peter comes back with a rose from the group date, and Tyler runs to him and jumps and straddles Peter! RS loves the “run and jump” …but typically it’s the women “jumping” the men! Awesome scene!

Team Haley and Team Hannah all the way – great job ladies!!! Great job Steve for bringing us the news!!
Sociopath-Jed needs therapy and a VD check. Although, there probably are no cure for either.
Narcisistic-Luke needs therapy. No cure either but hope springs eternal.
Thanks Tyler for dressing up for the date, a flannel shirt and a magician velvet suit?? Sorry wrong outfits, wrong guy! He’s quite mouthy this episode too. It’s telling Hannah’s not into him as she sent him back to the hotel early enough for Connor to have a long conversation with her. Not good for Tyler. Tyler didn’t look hot this episode either. He has bad angles.
Mike’s still my favorite but ABC just need to stop it with the looking-for-the-fourth-lady in his life. Who the heck wants to be fourth??
Not a good sign for Peter getting sent off immediately after given the rose. Hannah didn’t want to spend anymore time with him.

Thank you Steve! You made my day with the Hannah news.
Am a bit bummed about Jordan’s short appearance on Paradise, but I’ll take what Jordan I can get.

I personally didn’t have any problem with Tyler’s shade toward Luke P’s height. Luke P has been nothing but a snake and I’m sure it’s hard for us all to imagine how it would actually be to deal with Luke in such an isolated intense environment.
I also loved Garrett last night. I thought him baiting Luke was great. None of this is bullying to me. It’s called standing up for yourself and putting a narcissistic moron in his place. I’m sure they’re portraying Luke as worse than he actually is but I don’t think it’s much of a stretch from his true colors either. His whole “testimony” last night was one big eyeroll for me. I don’t buy any of it as genuine.

Completely agree with your take on Tyler’s comment about Luke’s height. Can you imagine the outrage if a woman on The Bachelor ridiculed another woman’s physical features? It was definitely a low blow on Tyler’s end and it was unattractive. I get Luke was hard to deal with, but hate when people resort to insulting things people have no control over. Also… Luke isn’t even 5’8. ?

I couldn’t care less about Tyler’s comment re: Luke’s height… Luke has proven himself time and time again to be a narcissistic sociopath… I’m sure all the guys have said worse about him. Tyler has been a quality guy so far, so a low blow at Luke doesn’t phase me. All the remaining guys are so fed up with Luke at this point, I can’t blame him. I’m honestly surprised there weren’t more negative comments shown, but I think it’s pretty clear NONE of them can stand him.
I also agree that Garrett wasn’t bullying Luke… he was just being honest. Luke brings it on himself.
To @justsaying… that date fit the same format as Colton’s 3-on-1… the first one to get a rose was let go for the evening so that the lead could figure out who of the remaining two to choose. I don’t think it was an indication whatsoever of who she’s interested in.

@megs Remember during the 3-1 date, Colton gave the first rose to Hannah G and sent her packing back to the hotel. Look how that turned out for her. The second 3-1 rose went to none other that Cassie. He turned it into a 1-1 where they spent lots and lots of time together. Time equals more chemistry.

This season has turned into such a train wreck. I will never understand why she’s kept Luke week after week and sending some other good guys home. And we know what goes down with Luke next week too.
Then choosing Jed and having it all unravel within a few weeks due to his deception and lying doesn’t help either.
It’s too bad because Hannah has been a good bachelorette. She’s got a lot of personality and seems very genuine.

I noticed Tyler didn’t look the same as usual either. I think he’s lost weight since being there and that’s changed his facial features some.

I think she’s quite into Peter and he isn’t getting the love from viewers he deserves at all. As for sending him away, isn’t that what would have to happen on a 3-way date so she can sort out the remaining two guys? Nobody wants to stick around for that awkwardness!

Garrett overplayed his hand a bit, I think, probably at production’s encouragement like RS said. That was a lot of mocking/harassing to not come out ahead.

@susan78, if Hannah really liked Pete, she could have saved the second 3-on-1 date rose for him. Notice how Hannah and Luke P were able to spend more time together after she gifted him the rose that night. This was exactly what happened to Cassie too. She received the second 3-1 rose and Colton turned it into a 1-1 to spend more time with her.
See, 3-1 is now a loophole to 1-1

July 3, 2019 at 7:52 AM
I found Tyler, Jed and Garrett sinking down to Luke P’s level. They could have taken the Connor, Peter or Mike’s route. Sure, they can say their piece but no need to instigate, argue incessantly and acting like moral policemen.

Did anyone else notice the artist made Hannah look like a Wookie, and Mike like a white guy? I definitely prefer the old masters Hannah was looking at at the museum to that artist’s work.
