Luke Pell Speaks on Bachelor Snub: ABC Screwed Me!
Okay, so maybe Luke Pell isn’t taking the whole Bachelor casting snub thing very well after all…
On Tuesday night, ABC stunned viewers by passing over Pell (the presumed favorite) in favor of Nick Viall as the next Bachelor.
Starting this spring with new episodes of the reality series, Viall will be given his fourth shot to find contrived love, following a pair of runner-up finishes on The Bachelorette and his current gig on Bachelor in Paradise.
The selection came as a shock to those who watch The Bachelor online and who follow this franchise closely.
At first, however, Pell seemed to take the rejection in stride.
Just consider the following meme and message:
“Thanks for all the love and support over the past few months, sometimes in life we are faced with unexpected changes,” Pell wrote on Instagram.
A tad bit extreme, considering this “unexpected challenge” and this reference to God having a plan in centered on anchoring The Bachelor?
Some might say.
But it at least proven that Pell was handling the surprising selection very well.
Now, however, Pell has come out and told Us Weekly that he was closer than folks could have possibly imagined to being named The Bachelor.
And then it was taken away from him.
“We were all satisfied, had agreed to the contracts and everything was moving forward,” Pell explains to Us Weekly.
“I was checked in to my flight to come to L.A. I got a call from producers Sunday night at about 10 p.m. They said ABC had decided to quote-unquote go in a different direction.
“I was supposed to fly out Monday morning at 9 a.m. I had my bags packed and everything.”
And the Winner is?
Nick Viall will be The Bachelor in the spring of 2017. But would you prefer to have seen Luke Pell picked for this position? View Poll »
Pell became a fan favorite this past season on The Bachelorette while he was competing to be JoJo Fletcher’s husband.
ABC executives have admitted that Viall was chosen at the last minute, but we didn’t realize it really was at the very last minute.
According to Pell, far more than just an airline ticket had been purchased.
“We had planned for intro filming and had planned to have my sister come on for a date and give advice as part of the show,” he says of how far into negotiations he got with the network.
“I met with the wardrobe guys. Everything was moving forward. Everyone on the production level was expecting it to be me, as well.”
Is Pell bitter over the way things went?
Yes, clearly. Sort of at least.
But he’s an alum of West Point. He’s come to “accept the decision,” he says, pointing to his military background in his response.
“From all my years in the military, I’ve learned that some things are out of my control,” he told Us Weekly, adding:
“I put it in the past, and I’m moving forward. It was a huge surprise, but the element of surprise and unexpected decisions is what the show thrives off of.”
That’s very true.
Would he do The Bachelor some time down the line if asked? Probably not.
For now, Pell is home in Nashville and says he’s focused on being “an entrepreneur and a songwriter.”
He’s also still focused on finding a wife. If you’re interested, here is what he’s looking for in a soulmate:
“I love somebody that is excited about life and has goals and dreams/
“I love independence. I love confidence. I love somebody that loves family and loves to have fun and who is completely comfortable in their own skin.”

M.I.A. Furious Over VMAs Snub, Accuses MTV Of "Racism sexism classism elitism"
What’s the point of taking part in social justice if the MTV Video Music Awards aren’t paying attention?
M.I.A. was pissed that her September 2015 music video for “Borders” (which she also directed) wasn’t nominated this year and she wants everyone to know it.
“MIA – BORDERS is not included in the VMAs #hahahahhaahahhaha!!,” she tweeted today.
“Racism sexism classism elitism #dontwantyourlane!”
The music video is impactful in that it highlights the European migrant crisis. M.I.A. is featured in the video singing alongside refugees as they travel.
“Something about this video was right, and I was doing something for a good cause,” she told TIME Magazine last year.
“It didn’t really feel like I was doing it to promote my own pop stardom. ‘This week I’m going to be on refugees and next week I’m going to be on AIDS!’ It just felt like everything came together for a reason.”
If she’s not doing it to promote her own pop stardom, then why is she so fired up about not being nominated?
M.I.A tried to explain herself in subsequent tweets.
“not here 4 EGO or Accolades but know before you tell other 🌍 artists they have the same platform as major US artists coz they don’t #🌍,” she tweeted.
“BORDERS came representing people outside US showing 🌍. This is a perfect example of “allowed” voice vs excluded voices .Even if U direct it.”
Ok, I only took away “EGO” and “Accolades.”
Credit must be given to M.I.A. though for trying to bring attention to an international crisis.
“I’ve taken a lot of criticism and made a lot of sacrifices because I keep talking about this,” she told TIME back in September.
“I could never talk about this again and be more successful, more accessible and more famous and more rich. But I’ve never done that because that aspect is important for me.”
Should “Borders” have been nominated?

Omarion Rants Over Grammy Snub, Says He’s the "Chosen" One
Move over, LeBron James and Kanye West.
There’s both a new Chosen One in town and also a new headline-making rant machine.
And both are Omarion!
The rapper WENT OFF on Twitter today after not being included among the 2016 Grammy Award nominees, believing that “Post to Be” (his collaboration with Chris Brown and Jhene Aiko) deserved recognition on music’s biggest night.
Because these are some seriously classic Tweets, we’ll just let Omarion run with his diatribe for a bit.
Take it away, pissed off artist!
- “Post to be” is one of the greatest R&B collaborations ever. CB, Jhene, & myself been in the game 10+.
- The odds have always been against me. I constantly prove you wrong. I’ll consistently do great things & you will have to celebrate me.
- This isn’t a “im upset” (post to be) rant. This is a- ok so that wasn’t good enough. I’ll be back. Have my Grammy’s ready.
- The game has long changed since I was introduced to it. They want to still treat me like I’m a new to this. My moment is coming trust.
- So when it’s all said & done. Remember. I prophesied it. It’s my destiny. I was destined. Chosen.
- Since y’all here! Answer the question. What other song can u name that didn’t have a rapper for a collab!? & don’t be disrespectful. Answer the question.
The tracks that were nominated for Best R&B Performance included Tamar Braxton’s “If I Don’t Have You,” Andra Day’s “Rise Up,” Hiatus Kaiyote’s “Breathing Underwater,” Jeremih’s “Planes” featuring J. Cole, and The Weeknd’s “Earned It.”
And Omarion did at least spend one Tweet sending some props to those up for the award he craves so badly.
“Congratulations to all the nominees!” he wrote. “Enjoy this milestone.”
