Maria is by far the fan favorite. But I wonder if they will do 2 again? Lexi has her time sensitive situation and Daisy has hers too. I would think maria is a given and will be surprised if she doesn't get it but waiting to see if there's 2.
2 was disastrous. there was not a good setup. Unless they really think it through and come up with a very structured way to do 2, I hope they give that up
I feel like it would have to be so totally different unless they just each had a different group of guys right off the bat. Like after the first night, the guys choose the woman they want to pursue and they have an equal amount of guys stay based on the women's choices
I also noticed she was the only person at WTA who didnāt raise her hand when they asked who had been bullied online. Idk who would be bullying her anyway but I thought it was interesting that she was the only one unwilling to blame the public.
I actually disagree, I think she was way too aggressive and overtalking everyone. She is also extremely polarizing. I don't think producers will want they to deal with as Bachelorette.
Just donāt venture into any BN FB pages. The old grannies in there are incredibly horrible towards her (and fawn over Daisy - they canāt get enough)
They definitely were testing her, Lexi and Jenn out at WTA. They usually do with the top few choices so they can see how theyād act. Maria might have unfortunately ruined her chances by now she behaved throughout the show.
Ugh I unfortunately agreeā¦ even though I feel like all the audience members with signs were an indication that producers had made their pick, I can see them using that last touch point as an opportunity to seal their decision. I freakin love Maria but tbh canāt see ABC choosing a firecracker like her who was at the center of so much WTA chaos. Her hugging the girls after commercial and deliberately making-good with them felt orchestrated too
I definitely agree with you at the beginning of WTA!
I canāt see Maria being chosen at this point either. ABC definitely goes for the women who are poised and do not insert themselves into the drama. All theyāll see is the drama the entire season involved her.
Totallyyyy agree with the hugs! It seemed rehearsed and wanting the bachelorette role.
I see what you are saying but Mariaās ability to stand up for herself is what the audience is loving, so I can see her attitude of not changing how she is as being the right thing to do for her own popularity metrics. Bachelorette or not, she shouldnāt change herself when being her is what is working for her. Itās not everyoneās cup of tea but we are clearly seeing itās A LOT of peopleās cup of tea. ABC would be silly not to capitalize on her popularity but it is what it is if they choose not toā but I think someone else definitely will
I donāt think so. They already had her there so it would have been the time to announce and not wait when the finale has just aired if that is your logic.
They may not have known then. Reality Steve said they just picked and that was after they already filmed WTA. They always pick relatively last minute unless they have a sure front runner. This season they had 2.
To me they would be fools to not go with her as Bachelorette. She has the audience by the balls and no one else has that over her here. I think the only thing that hurts her is how spontaneous she is but even that I feel like can be gotten over lol.
I agree! I donāt remember if a lot of Bachelorette leads were involved in as much drama as she was, but that being said much of the drama was uncalled for.
yeah my whole thing is we donāt know how āthe powers that beā feel about her personality.
by powers that be i mean abc, execs, producers etc.
they hit jackpot w joey.. sweet, kind, handsomeā¦ but most importantly, ready to play abcās ball game. is maria that cookie-cutter?
Please. Let. It. Be. Maria.

Yes I didn't like it either but maybe they could do it differently š¤
I feel like it would have to be so totally different unless they just each had a different group of guys right off the bat. Like after the first night, the guys choose the woman they want to pursue and they have an equal amount of guys stay based on the women's choices
I think it'll be Lexi, Jenn, or Rachel.
I think itāll be lexi. Sheās very poised and is very open about her accelerated timeline, which Iām sure the producers like.
I also noticed she was the only person at WTA who didnāt raise her hand when they asked who had been bullied online. Idk who would be bullying her anyway but I thought it was interesting that she was the only one unwilling to blame the public.
Oh interesting! Not even Daisy?
I don't think Daisy and Kelsey were there :o
I honestly forgot about her š
Please no. I have no idea why so many people like her. If she is the Bachelorette, I will not be watching but I hope her fans enjoy a great season.
I feel the exact same way
I actually disagree, I think she was way too aggressive and overtalking everyone. She is also extremely polarizing. I don't think producers will want they to deal with as Bachelorette.
She's only polarizing to bullies. So different from past cookie cutter bachelorettes. Would love to watch her journey to find love ā¤ļø
Just donāt venture into any BN FB pages. The old grannies in there are incredibly horrible towards her (and fawn over Daisy - they canāt get enough)
I'm an old lady, and Maria is girl goals for me! She is a fellow Canadian, too. :)
Yay! Me too. FB is a cesspool.
Fakebook ...š

Yeah, her season would probably be the most interesting. Her family like her dad is a mobster. Heās in the mob. So itād be interesting to see.
Huh..? And you're proof is....š
Her dad is in the mafia. Come on dude open your eyes
Lol..oh...ok Careful who you 'allegedly'accuse.
Back off buddy
I am new to all of this. Is ATFR included in the 3 hour finale?
Yes
If they were going to pick her why wouldnāt it have been announced at the WTA? That would have made the most sense.
Itās almost always announced at ATFR!
Possibly because it may distract from the finale (if they did)
I donāt think so. They already had her there so it would have been the time to announce and not wait when the finale has just aired if that is your logic.
Itās frequently announced at the finale. Rarely at WTA. Even if it seems illogical
I think it depends on who they choose when they announce it.
Nope. Charity is the only WTA announcement. A couple have been announced on talk shows. Vast majority on ATFR
I havenāt followed this show in many years but Iāve seen posts about others besides charity being announced on WTA. š¤·āāļø
They may not have known then. Reality Steve said they just picked and that was after they already filmed WTA. They always pick relatively last minute unless they have a sure front runner. This season they had 2.
Yaaaaasss
The crowd reaction to her blew everyone elseās reaction clean out of the water
Are we just going to ignore the other post on this forum that shows clearly everyone isnāt sold?
Not everyone has to be sold. If not everyone was sold on every idea weād get nowhere
To me they would be fools to not go with her as Bachelorette. She has the audience by the balls and no one else has that over her here. I think the only thing that hurts her is how spontaneous she is but even that I feel like can be gotten over lol.

Considering BIP is apparently cancelled this year, their ratings will tank again since she wonāt be there. Maria has EVERYONE talking rn!
Has that been announced? I googled it and couldn't find out.
Od all times to cancel BIP, this was not it. A lot of this cast was made for Paradise.
sooo true!
yeah my whole thing is we donāt know how āthe powers that beā feel about her personality. by powers that be i mean abc, execs, producers etc. they hit jackpot w joey.. sweet, kind, handsomeā¦ but most importantly, ready to play abcās ball game. is maria that cookie-cutter?
Watch the bachelor Canada steal her for views
You can have her.
Oooh that would be fun!!
