-Victoria F. was up first with her date with Peter as they went on a private plane ride then to the Cedar Point amusement park where Victoria could tell everyone how scared she is of heights, which totally meant there was zero chance she WASN’T getting put on this date. Don’t these people know to lie on their application? Just say you’ve gone skydiving 150 times and nothing scares you. Then you’ll never get put on one of these dates. And oh yeah, plenty of you sent me the post from Victoria back in 2014 where she actually did go skydiving. And apparently a bunch of you sent that to her as well and since, well, Victoria is totally unequipped with how to handle social media criticism, she shot back about how it’s the only time she’s gone and she’d never do it again, “so back off!” Nice, Victoria. Can’t wait til the hometown date episode arrives and you lose your shit again on the audience over that. I’m amazed season in and season out how many of these contestants have absolutely no idea how to handle social media when the show is airing. Rule #1 – don’t get defensive. Rule #2 – never forget Rule #1.
-I don’t know what Victoria was thinking constantly referencing Chase Rice as her “ex-boyfriend” and saying they used to date. That wasn’t their relationship from everything I’ve heard. Here’s two clips of Chase talking about filming that episode:

-So the songs he wrote for his new album had nothing to do with Victoria F., like so many people originally thought. They were about an ex he had for about 2 years. She was in his “Eyes on You” music video and from what I’ve seen, had numerous pictures with them together, so I’m assuming this is the one he’s talking about. So no, he’s not lying when he says those songs weren’t about Victoria Fuller. They were about Cameron Meyer:
-And in this article, he says he had essentially one night with Victoria F. and that was pretty much it. So I’ll let you make your own decision on who you want to believe when it comes to their relationship. Do you think she is his ex-girlfriend or do you think it was a mere hookup? Tough one, I know. But it’s your own decision to make.
-Now, Chase made it clear in each of those interviews, he did the show to give exposure to his music that just got released. All this is gonna do is help him. The bells and whistles behind this, and the producers putting him in that spot, he didn’t have control over. He says in that article his management was telling him there’s no way they’d do that to him. Well, his management is clueless if that’s what they were thinking. They’d should’ve known better. I don’t know the details of when things were booked or what. What I do know is that the first email I ever received about Victoria Fuller back in September specifically mentioned she “tells people she’s dating Chase Rice.” At the time, I didn’t think much of it. Nor did I know that Chase Rice would be one of the musical performers on the date.
-Then when those tweets came out asking fans to come to a date in Cleveland that Chase Rice was performing, EVEN I KNEW that Victoria F. was gonna be put on that date. So I’m sure at some point when the cast was released, someone told production about Victoria and her past with Chase. If I knew, they knew. And they planned it accordingly. They never hid the fact this date was done because of the circumstances surrounding it. As for who knew what and when? That I don’t know. But the date happened, it was awkward as hell, and production knew it would be which is why Victoria was put on the date. Yes, Chase knew Victoria was going on the show because she told him. She went to his show in Charlotte a week before she left for filming. So he knew she was going on the show, and he also knew (at some point), he was gonna be a musical guest on the show. If he couldn’t put 2 and 2 together that they absolutely, 100% were gonna make sure he performed on her date, then that’s on him. However, Victoria making it seem like their past was way more serious than it was? It wasn’t. That’s on her.
-Ultimately Chase and Victoria’s past, as meaningless as it was, really wasn’t much of a factor. She was embarrassed by the whole thing, but clearly Peter didn’t care because, well, why should he? It was before he even knew her so he really had no reason to be upset. I’m sure in that moment he was shocked because that’s literally never happened in the show’s history, but, once you get over that shock, I’m sure he realized it was out of his control, it’s just another twist the show threw at him, and as long as Victoria didn’t still have feelings for the guy (which she said she didn’t), you move on. Once I revealed Victoria and Chase’s past the day this date was happening and yet Peter still kept her, I knew it’d be an awkward date, but ultimately, her past with him had no bearing on the season. I get that everyone was freaking out last night, but 1) this is news that’s literally almost 4 months old and 2) it’s a one episode storyline. There is no Chase/Victoria talk the rest of the way, outside of Alayah breaking the news to the other women, which, we’ll get to momentarily. But first I wanna talk about Victoria P. and Alayah next on Page 3…
