“We went to just, like, you seen additional contestants come down and help them out. “You film so much material for this show and inevitably certain things must get cut based on how the show plays out. So, Tayshia and I got the call and they’re like,’Hey, we’re so sorry, but with editing and everything that is happening we are gonna have to scratch date, it simply doesn’t make sense’ It is completely nice, we had so much fun doing it”
She joked,”Yes, we were actually there, it wasn’t just like a hologram people over there, it simply didn’t air.”
In January, photographs of the two Bachelorettes in Nemacolin surfaced on the internet.
“When we got to talk to me, I was like,’How do you feel? Because you have never done this earlier. That can it be overwhelming for someone who only came from it let alone, like, getting used to everything and only being the guide is quite difficult,” Fletcher told Us of her conversation with James. “And awesome, like, do not get me wrong, it is amazing [too].”
Fletcher added that she thinks James, 29, has done an”exceptional job” as the season 25 star.
“[He’s owned] the simple fact that,’Yeah, I’ve never done this before.’ I think that he is a entire grab,” she informed Us, referring to the fact that James didn’t appear on the Bachelorette before he had been named the Bachelor. “Meeting him watching him I’ve been saying that — I believe he could be one of the best Bachelors we have ever had. And that is hard to do. It is difficult to do when you’ve never done it. [I’m] just very excited for him. He’s a great guy.”
While Bachelor viewers must tune in to figure out whether James is engaged to one of his contestants, Fletcher and Rodgers, who got engaged during the August 2016 finale, told Us that the post-show advice they give to Bachelor Nation couples.
“I never watched the show,” the football analyst, 32, said. “I understood what happened from my own perspective and that that was all I wanted. But it’s difficult not to see Twitter, watch the headlines. And so, for the information — because we struggled with this particular — as much as you can, I know that it’s impossible in this time, [however ] try to block it out and try to lean into your partner since you’re learning about each other. You are learning how to fight, you are learning how to convey things that you weren’t able to perform sort of in a dream land [or] in a bubble.”
Rodgers continued:”I feel that’s the difficult part: to put blinders on, lean right into your spouse and just talk everything through. … Our first year was really hard because we didn’t have that figured out yet. We did not know how to convey; we didn’t know how to fight healthy and be good on the opposite side of it. We didn’t know how to block it out.”
Even though Fletcher noted that Bachelor viewers are”the very supportive” and”awesome” lovers, she added,”Everybody knows that there is a good deal of criticism and critique. And also to have experienced that in the capacity the series brings out and also to perform it for the first time with your partner, I think it could be a little more challenging. My advice to him would only be to expect it know that it’s forthcoming, lean into your spouse and do your very best to not listen to the external noise.”
We did it all wrong. We’ve done it correctly. We’ve done everything in between so we could be good advice too.”
