Is The Bachelorette real or scripted?
For the most part, The Bachelorette is real, but former contestants have provided insight into some of the show's somewhat scripted elements.
Bachelor and Bachelorette contracts allegedly state that contestants must “follow all of Producer’s rules, directions and instructions in all matters, including Participant selection.”
In former Bachelor Sean Lowe's memoir, For the Right Reasons, he revealed that he filmed some of his confessionals weeks after dates would happen.
“I’d say things like, ‘I’m having a blast with Des tonight, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds.’ It wasn’t disingenuous, because I expressed what my true feelings were at the time. Mainly, it was boring.”
Although the show doesn't follow a strict script, the footage is edited to fit a narrative.
Contestant Luke Stone once called out Bachelor in Paradise producers and claimed that episode footage was edited to look like he was rejected.
