“Rozlyn Scandal”

This Rozlyn scandal has many more depths to it than I originally thought, and things can probably be explained a little more in detail to help understand better, but here’s the basic facts on how it was told to me:

Rozlyn is a 28 year old single mom. Her son is 7 years old. One of the big reasons Rozlyn came on the show is because she was promised that she’d be able to talk to her son every day, and they would eventually fly him out. This never happened. (Remember, the same thing happened to Megan Parris from Jason’s season. Her son wasn’t even a year and a half old, and she left to do the show because they told her the same thing. Apparently this show really gets off on lying to single mothers to get them on the show). Well, Rozlyn’s ex-husband never signed the release form for her son to be shown on TV, which is why we never see him and why she never ends up getting the 1-on-1 date at Sea World with was originally planned for her.

What does this have to do with the scandal? From what I’m told, a big contention in the house the night before next week’s rose ceremony (which remember Rozlyn already secured a rose for on her group date), is that Rozlyn was told by producers, “Do NOT tell Jake about your son yet. Not now. Save it for later.” However, on one hand they’re telling Rozlyn not to tell Jake about her son (even though she’s already talked about it with all the women in the house), but when the other women go in for their ITM’s (1-on-1’s with the camera), the producers are asking them, “Hey, so what do you think about Rozlyn not telling Jake about her son?”, just so they can get a reaction. Well, one of the girls tells Rozlyn she was just asked about this in her ITM and it set Rozlyn off. Apparently she had a melt down in the kitchen that won’t be shown, because she’s going off about not being able to see her son, that the show is lied to her, and she wants out. At this point they realize they need to get rid of her somehow.

Thus the “scandal” storyline is put in motion. One of the producers in the house apparently took a very strong interest in Rozlyn. Spent more time with her than any of the other girls, confided in her, and basically started to fall for her. Well, when Rozlyn receives her rose on Monday’s episode during the group date, a lot of the girls in the house were noticing this producer and Rozlyn’s flirtatious behavior towards each other, saw Rozlyn gets a rose, and started becoming suspicious. From there I was told, this producer was confronted by somebody, and ADMITTED that he basically had fallen for Rozlyn which, in the context of the show, is considered “inappropriate behavior”. Yes, you can talk with them. Yes, you can become their friend. But if you start to develop feelings for one of them, technically that’s compromising your work, and it can be labeled “inappropriate behavior”. However, while this producer admitted this, he NEVER admits that he and Rozlyn had any type of sexual affair. Never kissed, never had sex, never did anything of the such. Well, it didn’t matter at this point cuz boom! They’ve got their storyline now.

Since the girls in the house were already suspicious of Rozlyn and this producer’s flirtatious behavior, that’s why you hear a voice over of Ashley Elmore say, “She’s having a sexual relation with someone in the Bachelor house.” Never happened. The ONLY time you will hear “sex” or “sexual relations” will be when it’s coming from one of the other girls, because at that point, it’s speculation. You been reading Chris Harrison’s quotes? He’s yet to use the word “sexual affair”. He can’t, since it never happened. So they were flirting, the producer admitted to falling for her, but there was never any physical contact. But once he admitted that, he was good as done. They fired him.

So after they fired the producer, the day of the rose ceremony, psychiatrists, lawyers, etc get involved because they have to make 100% sure that they say the right things on camera. Since I haven’t seen the episode yet, I don’t know the exact words, but basically Chris Harrison tells Rozlyn 1-on-1 (in the most dramatic way of course), something like “for the first time in Bachelor history, we’re going to have to let you go for having an inappropriate relationship with someone on the show.” He tells her, she’s escorted immediately to her room to pack, and is taken off the show. Then I guess Chris tells Jake, then the rest of the girls. And that’s when the, “It must be because they were having a sexual relationship” talk begins. So sure, as long as the girls talk about it, ABC is clear, because at that point its just speculation. They can’t prove it because there is no proof. It never happened. But, in order to create drama and ratings, they can INSINUATE that “inappropriate behavior” = sex. Hell, most people will probably still think it happened. But notice there won’t be any proof other than the other girls in the house saying there was flirting and Rozlyn was getting preferential treatment by this producer. Which is grounds for firing because he’s not allowed to favor any one girl over the other. And apparently not only did he do that to Rozlyn, but admitted to starting to fall for her. So he was let go.

The ironic thing about all of this is Chris Harrison saying in a radio interview (that you can read here) “it was embarrassing for us, incredibly unfortunate, and horrible decisions were made.” So if it’s so embarrassing for you guys, why are you about to throw two people under the bus and insinuate a sexual relationship when there wasn’t one? Ratings. They know this will get people talking and tune in. Which is fine. But just remember when you do, it’ll all be speculation from the women in the house, and anything you hear out of Chris Harrison’s mouth will never mention anything about a “sexual affair”. He’ll stick with “inappropriate behavior”, or “relations”. Those are much safer because it’s open for interpretation. Well, the interpretation they want the viewers to make is “sex scandal”. What really happened is a producer confided in a contestant things he shouldn’t have, fell for her, and was fired because of it.

So that’s how it was explained to me in a nutshell. Well I guess not a nutshell since it took me 6 paragraphs to explain. I was told when Rozlyn left the show, she figured her exit would be explained as something minor, and it wouldn’t be made a big deal out of. Well, I guess maybe since the rest of the season is so boring, they decided to go with the “lets insinuate a sexual affair between a contestant and crewmember” angle. Hey! That’s never been done before. So there you have it. Once again, you may choose to believe otherwise, but this is the real story to behind what you are going to see Monday night, so just keep an open mind about it when you’re watching. The fact that ABC/Next Entertainment would try to go after ratings at the expense of a single mother and producer just goes to show what type of people we’re dealing with here. Someone is out of a job, and someone was lied to so that they could get her on their stupid show. Ridiculous. Kinda lends a little more credibility to what Megan Parris told us last season, doesn’t it? I can’t wait for Chris Harrison’s blog next week where he claims he’ll talk about it more. Just wait for it because he’ll tell you nothing. Everything will just “allude” to a sexual affair with no proof whatsoever.
