Look, I’m no Hannah Ann loyalist but it’s OBVIOUS she didn’t do this on purpose and to prove it, I’ve drawn up a (terrible) diagram of this part of the mansion grounds… In short, based on what we were shown, I’m #TeamHannahAnn. (As I said over at Flare, Kelsey would’ve needed an example or two as to why she distrusts Hannah Ann so much, meanwhile, pettily calling her a “pretty princess” only worked against her argument.) Obviously there’s major friction between these women and I would love to know more about why Kelsey is so hell-bent that Hannah Ann KNEW what she was doing, especially in the face of so much evidence that the whole thing was producer-planted. So imagine the certainty that her expectations will be met (literally, she’s been TOLD she WILL have that time), versus what ends up happening.Ĭhampagne-gate bothered me in that some people actually seem to believe Hannah Ann intentionally stole Kelsey’s bubbly. A producer told Kelsey to wait for a promised time slot (I was told this MANY times-no 1-on-1 time is unscheduled, which makes “stealing” all more producer-influenced), and she was cool with that. Notice how she’s “all good” despite missing out on time (Mykenna) and still not having had it. GIF to show the support between the women… In my notes I originally had this marked as a.
After this clip, Kelsey is shown setting up the champagne and going to get her time with Peter. First, in setting up what’s even happening, we see Kelsey in a Girl Chat with Kiarra, Deandra, Alayah, and Tammy. There is a lot to unpack with this godforsaken champagne situation. ROSE CEREMONY COCKTAIL PARTY / CHAMPAGNE-GATE She doesn’t act one way in her ITMs or with the women but then later kiss Peter’s ass in his presence. I appreciated how pissed she was at all this, but most importantly how she TOLD PETER TO HIS FACE she was upset. She’s smart, sassy, says it like it is, yet with likability and charisma. She’s both the comic relief and the voice of reason of the season (usually two separate women play those parts). This alone would make a semi-cancelled Group Date frustrating as hell. It’s about seeing through the whole purpose in their being there, to simply experience the thing they signed a (terrifying) 30-page contract to experience. It’s the sheer BUILD-UP to this Group Date, for those measly minutes with Peter. They’ve gone into this with a world of expectations (even if they’re the expectation-managing type, like myself) and at this point have been cooped up for about a week, first in a hotel room for days, then in the mansion for days.
It’s about MONTHS of anticipation, the countless hours of conversation with casting and producers and friends and family. It’s not just about being single and looking. A lot of viewers might’ve watched this Group Date and assumed the women’s frustration was due to missing out on time with Peter, but there’s more to it than that.
