They wouldn’t have to manufacture a “poor, poor boy” narrative if they had just done a better job of giving him a great edit during Michelle’s season. The fact that they had already chosen him and they still cut out almost all footage of him leads me to believe he’s not a very compelling lead, not that he’s an underdog.
I think you're right. There's too much random drama that has me thinking some of them have to be paid actresses. But it's not making me feel sympathy for Clayton at all, on the contrary, It's making me think of him as an airhead 😭
I teach your videos in my "introduction to writing" undergraduate class when we talk about structuring an argument and using evidence to make a point! It's always a hit
the thing that makes me wrack my fucking brain is WHY ANNOUNCE HIM EARLY THEN GIVE US EVEN MORE THAN NOTHING TO SHOW FOR HIM??? like they could’ve made us love this man but all they gave us was a viking scream and “i want kids 😢” and expected us to adore this man??
I live in the same town Clayton is from, and there seem to be quite a few women who claim they were having relationships, dates, or at least physical encounters with Clayton immediately after he came back from Michelle's season and then were dropped when he got "a job" the job being the bachelor.... this seasons seems like a powderkeg
And the one of Pilot Pete, which I only noticed because I was watching closely after reading this comment! BF checking who here is paying attention lol
To make Clayton read the mean tweets was beyond Low even for the Bachelor producers. Really? Each season the franchise gets more and more ridiculous. Let me site the Bachelorette hosts rummaging through the suitcases of the male contestants. So lame.
Clayton must have done something to really piss off production. It's so obvious that they hate him. I mean, that clown scene from the end of last episode was soooooo awkward. They are making him look like a fool (literally). Also, most of the intro packages for the women seemed like such obvious acting reels. This show has gone off the deep end for sure. I really only still watch it for Bachelor Fantake videos. lol
I’ve only been watching Fantake for a couple seasons and not even watching the show anymore. I don’t feel like I’m missing out on much. The show tries to take itself too seriously when it’s all a joke to everyone else. I feel like production needs to cast more people with interesting personalities that extend beyond insecurity and force less drama….
Bachelor seasons have been absolutely terrible for multiple seasons in a row now. I just expect it to be bad. I’m not sure why it is. In contrast I loved pretty much all of the past bachelorette and bip seasons.
I haven't been watching this season but I appreciate the videos because they are good recaps and this season is all about the drama which isn't my cup of tea. Bachelor Fantake thank you for the content because you are going through this season and delivering good videos.
Wow! Does the bachelor franchise have to make everything drama? Why did the bath lady had to delete her post? Her and Clayton had a respectful talk and then she decided to leave because they weren’t a match. What’s wrong with that?
Because EVERY girl is supposed to be totally in love with their bachelor. They already filmed one who was pretty drunk saying “I hate him” (btw I only watch BFT not the show but I know how sneaky they are…was she really even talking about Clayton for sure? Maybe it was an ex-boyfriend) anyway, to have 2 women not be into him night one would be a no no in their books.
Why did she have to delete that post? Because those behind the cameras a bunch of SCUMBAGS! They threatened those people who attempts to spill something behind the scenes without their consent because they didn’t want others to know how they are such horrible bunch of people.
You know what's crazy? I didn't notice the clip but ALSO didn't even realize all the other comments about it were saying it's Colton. Their names are even so similar they're the exact same person, I'm dying haha
they had ample opportunity to make us like him, literally all they gave us from michelle’s season was that scream from the viking date and “i want kids one day 😢” like maybe they didn’t want us to like him too much by not showing more but i don’t get how the she runners expected us to want anything from him
I can never find myself to watch a full season of The Bachelor- the Bachelorette I can tolerate. But I decided to give Clayton a chance and couldn’t make it through the first 5 minutes but I love your recaps! ❤️
I dont watch the actual show, but I've seen enough bad acting to see how Clayton is trying not to LAUGH at the ABSURDITY of what the producers are making him say when he delivers that, "My first rose has been rejected" bit. Call a spade a spade: Clayton was picked for two reasons... 1. Easily manipulated by production 2. Meaty, white football player who (apparently) appeals to the Flyover States crowd. lol
@@markw.6526 "Flyover States" are boring midwestern states. You fly over them to get to the coasts. The Bachelor wants to appeal to white, "Middle America" so they picked Clayton who is also white, and midwestern
If you think about it, they would’ve never made this kind of “sympathy” edit for the bachelorette. It’s unfortunately a lot easier to push the narrative of sympathizing with a man because of his relationship struggles with women than sympathizing a woman because of her struggles with men. 😑
Also because they like to show empowered strong women who don’t put up with BS, and don’t want to make them seem weak, helpless on TV. Which isn’t a bad thing at all. Better than a sob story. They push the opposite of what’s “expected”, strong women, weak men
I know it's a business but these producers/people who are in charge need to be more sympathetic with the lead/contestants. They can still pull off drama but not to this point. While it's true that these people volunteered to be on the show they're still people like everyone else. C'mon! They can be both sympathetic and run decent business at the same time.
Everyone who is criticizing him unfairly my I add should go take a listen to the Happy Hour Podcast that he did. Nothing but an intelligent, well spoken man who really discusses his experience and how the negativity has affected him and in specific his mom. Be kind people. Very easy to judge as a viewer. Very different experience being the lead who isn't privy to everything.
They're going to chew him up and spit him out. The producers are ev-L. But I bet ill come to the comments and see a bunch of people dumping on the "villain" like this is some kind of documentary
Not sure why so many people don’t like Clayton….? He seems so genuine and like a complete sweetheart…. and not to mention, very deserving of this. He seems very humble. AND…. we’ve only seen TWO episodes? Give the man a chance and stop being mad you’re not in his shoes. If you don’t like him, don’t watch and wait until next season.. common sense. You just simply not liking him(for whatever reason), doesn’t change anything, anyway.
At this point it's cyberbullying and I hope the show addresses it. The show has a broken fan base. Words hold weight. Clayton has literally not done anything wrong and people are judging him for how he breaths in air.
I don't hold any negative feelings towards Clayton, I hold them towards the producers for either 1. Not giving him enough screen time for us to get to know him. Or 2. Not picking a fan favorite who got a lot of screen time and who the fans are already invested in. I didn't like Matt James' season either because we didn't get to know him at all. He was hilarious on his social media, but the producers didn't let us see that side of him at all.
Exactly. It seem to me that most are females who take it personal. Clayton was just a Bachelor who did not acted. He was just being human in my personal view. First time I ever got hooked to watch a whole season.
For whatever reason the reception Clayton has received bothers me. There is something so unfair about it. Mainly because his "criticism" has been totally untrue and just bullying. I believe that he's owed a big apology.
And yet..... I still don't get why he was picked lol. And so early at that. That's the most suspicious part. Almost as if they saw Michelle is more into black men so they had to rush and get basic white guy. Sus. sus all around.
@@MsDesiree39 It was not a diss on him personally, but production. He is basic, because that is what always gets picked. Raitings are low, because it's the same all the time, plus, there's been a lot of Bachelor content lately.
Not everyone has sex in the fantasy suite. Michelle didn't have sex with her guys, she wanted alone time with each of them off camera to get to know them better.
I speculate that the "underdog" tagline was an idea production had for Colton (Underwood --> underdog, kinda fits) that they didn't end up using so they decided to give it to Clayton even though it makes no sense for him XD or maybe as a joke about how similar they are
As a therapist, I would handle vetting contestants much differently. As such, there would be much less drama, which production probably wouldn't want. So much for increasing the chances for genuine love. I'm grateful that Michelle was able to successfully navigate through the drama and find the love of her life. Looking at the history of Bachelor Nation, it happens rarely.
the only reason they picked clayton is bc the top four men were men of color and they didn’t want someone that looked like that on a season. It’s a crime shame we’re still dealing with racist production, racist show etc. it’s 2021 and people are still being discriminated against bc of the color of their skin… I’m tired of black ppl and people of color not being represented in this show, it irks me so much, I hope they do better but at this point, I don’t care bc if there not gonna create a space for diversity and inclusion then i don’t want to watch a show like that..
oh shut up. there have been pple of different backgrounds on this show but the all blck final 3 made no difference in the ratings cause most of these pple dnt care who's ini the show they just wanna race bait, there are dating shows on BET/OWN and they are not diverse.
Be sure to stick around to the end of the video before the end screen for a special compilation😛
It was in fact the lip lick compilation...
You thought you could slip a Colton in there and we wouldn't notice?! You trained us better than that.

Can someone get this man some Chapstick??? Production??? Anyone???

Michelle didn't like him as much. Not sure what great edit could ve been done

I had a friend who auditioned and they knew he was dating someone so this isn’t surprising. The producers know.

Funny: Yes. Bachelor: Hell no lol.

It’s honestly his interviews that make me like him. He’s a super likable guy outside the show, producers just seem to make the viewer wanna hate him

I genuinely am convinced when it comes to Claire…her ego was body slammed and as a self protection method she lashed out. 🤷🏻♀️
