Many aBachelororBacheloretteseason has been spoiled before the final rose.
If you read the blogs that really dig into reporting, every season get spoiled.
But generally, those spoilers linger on a subsurface level.
Especially not within the first weeks of a new season.
This season ofBacheloretteis different.
Spoiler of the spoilers: Its because of grossness and social media!
The Bachelorette has a history of contestants with troubling social-media activity
This has happened before!
On Rachel LindsaysBacheloretteseason,contestant Lee Garretts racist tweetssurfaced while the season was airing.
(ABC, maybe cool it with jerks named Garrett.)
But this time,The Bachelorettehas another problem: Yrigoyen gets a much more prominent, positive edit.
They cast Lee Garrett to be good TV.
(Another tip: Dont cast racists because you hope theyll be good TV!)
But Yrigoyen is not a dummy meant to go home quickly; hes not aBacheloretteredshirt.
The response to the controversy is its own spoiler, and Beccas interview in particular is a giant giveaway.
She promises she got to know the real Garrett, but then redirects to everyone else.
Shes following aBacheloretteprotocol list like its stapled to her eyelids!
That Garretts social-media activity didnt disqualify him during casting is a problem all its own.
