The Bachelor Spoilers 2019: Colton Underwood Final Three, Rose Ceremony Revealed!!
The Bachelor is still nearly two months away from its premiere, but to the surprise of no one, The Bachelor spoilers are in full swing.
We hereby invite you to come inside our spoilers page for the latest on the new season, ironically starring a man who’s never come ins-
Sorry. Forget we said that. On to The Bachelor spoilers.
As those who follow the franchise know, this season’s leading man, Colton Underwood, is noteworthy for more than the usual reasons.
He’s a virgin. So the Fantasy Suite stakes are high.
Who will he bring, though? According to the God of Bachelor Spoilers (and among men), Reality Steve, his choices have been made.
Ready to meet Colton’s final four women – the lucky ones who earned hometown dates with the former football star – and final three?
Hannah Godwin is friends with Danielle Maltby, a presence on Nick Viall’s season. Hannah makes a great first impression with Colton.
She’s not unattractive.
Cassie Randolph, above, is an ESL teacher from Huntington Beach, California. She is 23 years old. Also not unattractive in the least.
Tayshia Adams is 28 years old and Orange County, California. Other than that, she remains a bit of a mystery, personally and professionally.
There is no Facebook account attributed to her, and her Instagram is private, though her bio suggests she’s a woman of faith.
Tayshia has been married once, to Josh Bourelle.
Caelynn Miller-Keyes is 23 years old and the current reigning Miss North Carolina 2018. Good for her … and obviously good for Colton.
So there you have it.
Hannah Godwin, Cassie Randolph, Tayshia Adams, and Caelynn Miller-Keyes are the last four women on this 23rd season of the show.
There are only three overnight date spots, of course, which means someone didn’t make the cut. According to Steve, we know who.
Tayshia Adams, Hannah Godwin, and Cassie Randolph are moving on. Caelynn Miller-Keyes got the chop after hometowns.
From everything we’ve gathered so far, Cassie Randolph feels like the front-runner for Colton’s final rose, but we can’t confirm that.
Steve’s latest intel suggests overnight dates in Portugal have concluded, and a final rose ceremony is being filmed this week in Spain.
So far, though, that’s all we know.
Either Steve is playing this close to the vest or hasn’t gathered enough Bachelor spoilers to drop the obligatory bombsell yet.
There is still plenty of time left.
With filming wrapping soon, Colton, Hannah, Tayshia, and Cassie should be active on the socials again soon, so watch for clues.
Also, ABC has released the first official promo for Underwood’s virginal journey for love, which kicks off Monday, January 7.
Will the controversial pick to lead the franchise find the love he’s always wanted … the love worthy of his v-card and heart alike?
All we can do is stay tuned, people.

"The Bachelor" Mansion Getting Armed Security to Prevent Looting in Wake of Wildfires
The owners of the mansion used by “The Bachelor” are taking extreme measures to make sure their property won’t be hit by gutless thieves looting homes damaged in the devastating SoCal wildfires … they’re hiring armed guards to protect against…

The Bachelor Mansion Has Burned Down
The ongoing wildfires in California have thus far caused over 250,000 people to evacuate and led to the tragic deaths of nine people.
So the fate of the house in which The Bachelor films each season is very obviously a tiny deal by comparison.
But we’re a celebrity gossip website, of course, so our focus is on pop culture and entertainment-related topics at nearly all times.
With that in mind, we’re here to report that The Bachelor Mansion is reportedly on fire.
“There was no one at the house at the time it caught on fire,” a source told Us Weekly, adding:
“The part of the house that was used for the production offices has burned down … The whole back house is burned down and it traveled up to the backyard.”
This large Agoura Hills residence has served as the backdrop for ABC’s ‘The Bachelor and The Bachelorette since 2007.
On Friday afternoon, franchise creator Mike Fleiss and ABC reality chief Rob Mills jumped on Twitter to say that the house was in “grave danger” as the wildfires forced evacuations all across Malibu.
(We previously detailed how Kourtney and Kim Kardashian both drove far away to take cover.)
Posting a picture of a thicket of smoke rising from nearby hills earlier in the day, Fless wrote on his account:
“Pray for Malibu — and #TheBachelor Mansion.”
An insider who lives directly next to the mansion told the tabloid mentioned above that while the main house “will be saved” by firefighters, a second structure is “completely destroyed.”
However, Colton Underwood’s upcoming season will not look any different because shooting is already complete.
“Production is not using the house anymore,” a source confirms.
“Filming finished a couple weeks ago, and they have been traveling internationally finishing Colton’s season.”
The Woolsey wildfire has grown to over 14,000 acres since it started late this week, forcing evacuations of many in Hollywood and impacting filming locations across the devastated communities.
Caitlyn Jenner’s home in Malibu, for instance, has also been destroyed.
“I heard the flames have hit our property at our home in Hidden Hills but now are more contained and have stopped at the moment. It doesn’t seems like it is getting worse right now,” Tweeted Kim Kardashian yesterday, adding:
“I just pray the winds are in our favor. God is good. I’m just praying everyone is safe.”
Wrote director Guillero del Toro:
“Evacuated last night. Bleak House and the collection may be endangered but the gift of life remains. Thousand Oaks and Agoura are still in danger. Malibu is being evacuated.”
Elsewhere, Doctor Strange director Scott Derrickson Tweeted that his house burned down in the blazes.
The fire also decimated Western Town at Paramount Ranch, an outdoor set where scenes from HBO’s Westworld were filmed.
We send our best wishes to all affected by this natural disaster.

Cristy Caserta, Former Bachelor Suitor, Dead at 38
Cristy Caserta, a woman who vied for the heart of Brad Womack on The Bachelor Season 15, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday after suffering an apparent seizure.
She was 38 years old.
According to law enforcement officials, per TMZ, Caserta was attending a class at a school in Sunrise, Florida when she suddenly fell forward at the desk where she was sitting.
Her alarmed classmates quickly dialed 911.
Tragically, however, Caserta went into cardiac arrest as the paramedics arrived and administered CPR.
She was transported to nearby Westside Regional Medical Center … where they continued efforts to save her, but it was too late. She was pronounced dead not long after her arrival.
The police have said they don’t suspect foul play and that no drugs were found in Caserta’s system.
An autopsy will be performed Friday to determine the official cause of death.
This is what the Sunrise Police Department in Florida said about Caserta, who worked as an attorney:
“The students around her noticed her coffee fell to the ground and thought maybe she fell asleep, but she was unresponsive when they approached her.
“They called 911, and Fire Rescue showed up and started CPR and she was still unresponsive.”
As mentioned above, Caserta was featured on Womack’s second season as The Bachelor.
She was sent home during the first week.
Stephen Carbone, the blogger behind the Bachelor fan/spoiler site Reality Steve, paid tribute to Caserta on Thursday night, writing:
“Sick to my stomach to see that Cristy Caserta from Brad Womack’s 2nd season has suddenly passed away.
“Cristy was always there to give me legal advice in the past. I’m at a loss after seeing people post on her FB. Just spoke a couple weeks ago. RIP my friend.”
In January, Caserta started a job working as a corporate lawyer for a healthcare staffing agency in Sunrise.
She had worked as a lawyer at a different company during her time on The Bachelor and was granted leave to appear on the series.
Womack, who previously anchored The Bachelor Season 11 in 2007, is pictured above.
He ended up proposing to Emily Maynard, but they broke up a few months after the finale.
Neither Brad nor anyone associated with the show has commented yet on Caserta’s death.
May she rest in peace.

These Bachelor Contestants Just Left the Show... for Each Other!
We’re very sorry, Chris Harrison.
But we’re calling you out already.
The next time you say that viewers are in for THE MOST DRAMATIC ROSE CEREMONY IN BACHELOR HISTORY, you will be lying.
Yes, we can say this with authority right now.
Because THE MOST DRAMATIC ROSE CEREMONY IN BACHELOR HISTORY has already happened.
The Vietnamese version of this long-running hit reality series has gone viral across the entire universe because a pair of contestants – Minh Thu and Truc Nhu – recently decided they did not want to pursue a relationship with star Nguyen Quoc Trung.
Why?
Because they had already found love… with each other!
“I went into this competition to find love,” Thu said to Trung during the aforementioned, mind-boggling, stunning rose ceremony.
She then explained/teased: “I’ve found that love for myself, but it isn’t with you. It’s with someone else.”
And it was someone else Trung knew well.
Upon making her admission, a clearly emotional Thu walked over to Nhu and gave her a long hug, much to the total and complete surprise of the other contestants.
“Come home with me,” Thu said more than once to Nhu, who later approached Trung and said the following:
“I’m sorry. I really wanted to get to know you because you’re someone who made me feel special and I haven’t felt that way in a long time.”
The Bachelor was taken aback, according to those who watched this episode (it’s still sitting on our DVR), but managed to respond:
“I want to ask: If you decide this, would you feel regretful? This doesn’t change my decision. I’m not going to give this rose to anyone else. You only get one chance in this life, and you need to take it. Only you, not anyone else.
“I want to let you know that I think you’ll have regret if you continue with what you are about to say.”
This plea, however, fell on deaf ears.
Or, to be more accurate perhaps, it fell on a heart that already been captured by a fellow contestant.
“I know you’ll find someone who really loves you, who understands you, who knows how to take care of you, who can look at you from afar and know how you’re feeling,” she told him.
“I’m sorry.”
The two women then walked out of the ceremony together.
UPDATE: Wait!
The Asian news website NextShark now reports that Nhu chose to come back to the show after another conversation with Trung.
She reportedly said: “I’ve changed my mind to accept this rose and continue this journey.”
Okay, well. That certainly makes this story a tad bit less interesting.
But it doesn’t change the drama of the rose ceremony itself!

Jenna Cooper: Inside Her Bachelor in Paradise Cheating Scandal
It"s the Bachelor in Paradise scandal no one saw coming.
On the Season 5 finale of this ABC reality series, Jordan Kimball got down on one knee and proposed to Jenna Cooper… and she said yes!
Hooray, right?!?
Not so fast.
Around the same exact time this proposal aired, a handful of text messages went viral that Bachelor guru Reality Steve alleges were sent back and forth between Jenna and her actual boyfriend/lover this summer.
It certainly appears as if Cooper was sleeping with someone else while she was being wooed by Jordan on the aforementioned series.
What is actually going on here? And s there any chance Jordan and Jenna still walk down the aisle next year?
Scroll down to get caught up…
1. What a Perfect Looking Couple
2. The Proposal
3. The Wedding Would Have Been Televised, Too
4. But Now?
5. Why Did This Man Come Forward?
6. More Jenna Bashing:
Bachelor in Paradise Finale Marred by Stunning Cheating Scandal
On the Bachelor in Paradise season finale Tuesday night, Jordan Kimball got down on one knee and proposed to Jenna Cooper.
It was a beautiful moment, as you can see here:
But the proposal, the acceptance, the finale and possibly the entire relationship has now been marred by an explosive allegation:
Has Jenna been cheating on Jordan?
Indeed, the same day ABC aired footage of Jordan and Jenna agreeing to marry and asking Chris Harrison to officiate their June 2019 wedding, Reality Steve shared text messages between Jenna and the man with whom she has allegedly been sleeping.
Reality Steve, as you may know, is the Internet’s leading purveyor of Bachelor spoilers and Bachelorette spoilers.
The man has his connection. He knows his stuff.
According to Steve, Jenna has been cheating on Jordan all summer with an unnamed man that she met prior to Bachelor in Paradise filming.
A professional relationship between the two, during which they teamed up for a failed business venture, eventually turned intimate.
This is an exchange Steve alleges took place just this past weekend:
In another exchange published by Steve, Jenna apologizes for her actions on an episode and tells this lover that she’s only on the show for her “business.”
There’s also this semi-graphic back and forth:
Yikes, right?
Poor Jordan, right?
This is what he told People Magazine about the depressing development:
“I’m weak in the knees and I feel like I have rocks in my stomach.”
Did Jenna actually cheat, though?
No, she tells this same publication in a statement:
“I am aware of the allegations being made against me and they are simply untrue. I am choosing to focus on my relationship right now. Thank you for respecting my privacy at this time.”
We aren’t exactly doing that.
We’re a celebrity gossip website and it’s our job to discuss allegations of this nature.
All we can do is share the information we’ve received or we’ve seen, however. We cannot verify the above text messages with 100% certainty.
Kimball says he has spoken to Cooper since this story broke — and that he believes the cheating charge to be true.
“I know my Jenna, and I read those texts and in my heart, I know it’s her,” he says, adding to People:
“She was saying she didn’t do it, but hinting towards the fact that there’s a possibility that it happened. In all reality, I don’t expect her to own it.”
Jordan also says the two were planning an engagement party next month in North Carolina. His parents were planning to attend and everything.
What now?
He can’t say for sure.
But Jordan denies all assertions that the couple faked anything for the camera (“This was not a TV romance. This was real. And whether you like me or not, I deserve love.”) and admits his universe has been rocked by this scandal:
I don’t know how to handle this. All I know is I obviously only knew a limited amount of information about Jenna. This is embarrassing and it hurts my pride. And our friendship is just tarnished.
I don’t even know what piece to pick up or how to put it back.

The Bachelor Will Do Fantasy Suites Differently for Virgin Colton Underwood!
The Bachelor Nation knows that Colton Underwood is the next Bachelor, and fans have some questions and concerns.
Chris Harrison has come forward to address at least some of those worries. He promises that fans will have a good time.
He shares how the show plans to tackle Colton’s virginity — and how this season’s Fantasy Suites will be very special.
At the New York premiere of A Simple Favor on Monday. September, 10, Chris Harrison told Entertainment Tonight about why they picked Colton.
“No matter what we say, if we said Jason, if we said Blake, it doesn’t matter,” Chris admits. “There’s going to be backlash, that’s the way social media works these days.”
In case you’re wondering why so many celebs keep saying problematic stuff, it’s that exact attitude and an inability to distinguish between trolls and actual feedback.
“Colton’s going to be good TV, and that is the reason we chose him,” Chris explains bluntly.
That sounds very honest.
Chris then cracks a joke that will honestly sell more viewers on Colton than anything else: “He probably won’t have his shirt on after night one, so it’s going to be a good season.”
Chris does admit that the fans aren’t sure if Colton is ready for marriage.
And, as Chris says, “that’s the whole point of the show.”
Looking for candidates for marriage is the whole point of The Bachelor franchise. Finding out if Colton is ready for it is the point of this season, we guess.
“Maybe at the end of it, he’s not, and it’s a complete disaster,” Chris says. “That’s the way it goes, that’s life”
Chris does address that the Fantasy Suite is going to be a little more intriguing since Colton has never banged before.
“Well, this year, because I know he’s the Bachelor, I brought in props,” Chris jokes.
His joke continues: “So there’s going to be a big presentation of what happens in the fantasy suite [with] 3D models.”
That sounds painfully awkward. Fortunately, to make sure that we know (we hope) that this is a joke, Chris continues.
“It really gets interesting,” Chris says. “And I’m going to bring my son in as well, who is a teenager, so I can knock out the talk.”
If you haven’t had the talk with your teen yet, they already got it from their friends. But, again, Chris is joking. We hope.
Chris does take a slightly more serious tone as he discusses the implications of Colton Underwood’s virginity.
“No, but it’s part of the storyline, the fact that Colton’s a virgin, clearly,” Chris affirms.
“How will the women react to that?” Chris asks rhetorically. “How is he going to handle that?”
That’s a good question. And, of course, we already got a taste of that narrative after the episode aired in which Colton confessed to Becca.
“It’s something that he’s obviously dealt with his entire life,” Chris reminds viewers. “And he got emotional about it.”
Chris mentions how Colton spoke “about when he was in the NFL and having to fake it.”
Actual locker room talk, for Colton, involved pretending that he’d had sexual experiences that he had not.
“So, we are going to deal with that,” Chris says. “We’ll dive into that.”
We’re sure that they will.
So we suppose that Chris Harrison’s pitch for Colton’s season is: Come for the shirtless eye candy, stay for the virginity drama.
Will it work?
For the network, it’s a gamble. Especially if someone comes forward and claims that Colton has been lying about his virgin status.
Fans have already been warned that Colton is a selfish jerk who may be more interested in fame than finding love or marriage.
Some think that, after Arie, the network should have gone with the most trustworthy, non-controversial pick that they could.
Others say that people are simply being unfair to Colton. We’ll all find out together.
Bachelor in Paradise Recap: What the Actual F--k, Man??
Just prior to Fantasy Suite night on Bachelor in Paradise this season, at least one contestant faced her biggest nightmare.
But we’ll get to that in a moment.
Monday evening’s installment of this controversial ABC series depicted TWO couples calling it quits, although one split went far smoother than the second.
Let’s start with the amicable before we get to the ugly, shall we?
Joe and Kendall (pictured above) were seemingly in a good place when he joked about getting engaged.
At least we thought he was joking.
Perhaps there was a serious nature to the reference as well — but, either way, the mere topic caused Kendall to pump the breaks on their romance. Hard.
“There’s a part of me that obviously loves you, and I’ve known that for a while, but I don’t know what kind of love that is,” Kendall attempted to explain in response, adding that she thought thers sta were pursuing a relationship because they “had to,” not because they really wanted to.
Ouch.
“I’m with you all day long. I’ve been falling in love with you since day two. I haven’t been able to express it because all you’ve said is… ‘I want to keep things open,"” Joe replied, pointing to her past with Leo and John and adding:
“The truth is, you don’t know how you feel about me… you’re looking for so many excuses not to be with me.”
And, with that, Joe was basically done.
“We’re just not in the same place. That’s what I’ve been scared about this entire time… The fact that you’re not happy about where we’re at after everything is really just the answer,” he continued.
“That’s it. I’m going home. Alright, I’m leaving. Bye.”
The guy was serious, too.
He got into a limo and, like Keyser Soze, was gone.
“I have a huge fear that I’m never going to see Joe again,” Kendall lamented on air. “My heart breaks imagining not being with him. I’m going to leave feeling regret.”
Remember, now… we said this was the AMICABLE break-up.
Elsewhere, Kevin also decided to end things with Astrid.
“I’m like, having an actual mental breakdown right now,” he confessed, aiming for sympathy and earning none whatsoever.
Kevin cried about how his former experiences with fantasy suites and how the evenings didn’t pan out as he’d hoped.
“I don’t know if it’s forever,” he said of his relationship with Astrid.
UMMMM…..
“Are you breaking up with me?” Astrid asked, bursting into tears and then turning angry:
“What the actual f-ck, man? I don’t eve know what to say. I’m mind-boggled… The one thing I asked you not to do was blindside me!”
Lik Joe before her, Astrid then left to pack her things, leaving Kevin a tear-filled on the daybed.
“She’s going to hate me,” he said. “She’s going to be embarrassed. This is a nightmare.”
Finally, Bachelorette alum Robby Hayes showed up!
He tried to ask out Jenna, only to be shot down and then told off by Jordan for making a move on his woman.
“From what I understand, he cheated on Amanda Stanton … after Paradise,” Jordan told his fellow contestants. “I mean, cheating on a single mom? C’mon.”
The man makes a solid point there.
“Robby’s a tool, he’s just a tool,” Jordan added to the cameras.
“He dated Amanda for the social media following and then he broke up with her in the way that he did to look like a player. Like, ‘Oh I don’t need Amanda in my life."”
Still, Shushanna agreed to go on a date with Robby and then confronted Hayes about the Stanton allegations prior to the rose ceremony.
He claimed he never cheated on Amanda…but did she on another ex in the past.
Shushanna ended up giving Hayes her rose during the final ceremony.
However, when the remaining couples were faced with either heading to the fantasy suites or going home, the new twosome chose to pick things up back in the United States.
“I don’t think in 48 hours that our relationship is there,” Hayes told Shushanna of having sexual intercourse. “But we’ll hang out when I’m in Utah. We can grab dinner, or I can take you on a date.”
Where will all the other relationships head to close out Season 5?
Find out when the finale of Bachelor in Paradise airs on ABC on Tuesday, September 11 at 8/7c.
