Everything Madison Prewett and Peter Weber Have Said About Each Other Since Their ‘Bachelor’ Breakup


April 20, 2020: After Weber and Flanagan’s quarantine situation went public, Prewett and a bunch of other contestants from Weber’s season perform a shady version of the “Don’t Rush” TikTok challenge, but set to the diss track “Take Your Man.” The lyrics include, “I can take your mans, if I want to, but lucky for you, I don’t want to.”

It gets shadier. One fan then asked, “Where is Kelley?” and Madison replied, “With our ex lol.” She later walked the sass back in a comment on a Bachelor fan page. “Lolllll it was just a joke!! No shade. All the love for them both,” Prewett reportedly wrote.

April 21, 2020: Finally Prewett is the one who goes on a podcast, and she has a lot to say. She claimed Weber actually texted her about getting back together “two days before he was spotted in Chicago” with Flanagan.

“He was, like, calling me and texting me being like, ‘I miss you, let’s get back together,’” Prewett told Kaitlyn Bristowe on her Off the Vine podcast, according to Us Weekly. “I mean, I think that to me was a little confusing, but I think, like, when you break up and you’re going through a heartbreak and you just came off a show that was emotionally, physically and [every] which way exhausting, everybody handles that differently. Everybody leans on different things.”

Prewett also said on the podcast she was “thrown off” by Flanagan’s pairing up with Weber because the two women were apparently close during filming. “This is when it gets a little interesting. We were best friends, actually. We were inseparable throughout the entire process,” Prewett said. “I was definitely hurt and thrown off by that whole situation. I want the best for the both of them, but I definitely was thrown off.”

April 22, 2020: Weber responds to Prewett’s interview. “You’d think you’d have a little more respect for this situation given we both know there’s more to the story,” he wrote in an Instagram comment on a fan page, tagging Prewett.

April 23, 2020: Despite Weber’s response, Prewett has been liking tweets about her interview, though seemingly none that name Weber directly.

It took some time, but these two seem to be working their way toward Hannah Ann Sluss status…

A ‘Bachelor in Quarantine’ Show Might Be in the Works at ABC


While former contestants from The Bachelor and The Bachelorette are keeping themselves busy on TikTok (see below), franchise executives at ABC are reportedly working on a few ideas about how to produce new content given the state of the coronavirus pandemic.

Bachelor Nation is currently enjoying the franchise’s music spin-off, The Bachelor: Listen to Your Heart, which was filmed prior to Hollywood productions’ shutting down. But Clare Crawley’s season of The Bachelorette (which would have started airing in mid-May) and Bachelor in Paradise (mid-August) are on hold for the moment. (The Bachelor: Summer Games was already canceled because the Tokyo Olympics was postponed.)

Now, Deadline is reporting that a Bachelor in Quarantine spin-off is absolutely a possibility—and yes, that is the name apparently being discussed internally at ABC.

“The best thing about The Bachelor is its willingness to evolve as a format, so if we need to shoot a cycle that reflects these times, that’s what we’re going to look at doing,” Rob Mills, the head of alternative programming at the network, said.

But according to Deadline, this wouldn’t just be a straight-up restructuring of the Bachelor in Paradise model. Reportedly there have been talks about whether they could actually shoot that series in Mexico this summer. “Getting 20 cast members is one thing. Getting 100 to 180 crew members and putting a director in a truck next to the producers, where you’ve got 30 people in a trailer next to each other is another thing. There’s a lot of logistics that go into it,” Bachelor host Chris Harrison told Bill Simmons on his podcast, per Deadline. “We are on it; we’re chomping on the bit to produce content.”

Whatever direction they decide to go, though, Mills says Crawley’s season of The Bachelorette is going to happen. “She’s always been resilient,” Mills said. “We’re going to do her a season, and it’s going to be fantastic. If she finds a person, then this all means it was all meant to be. We’ll be nimble.”

Everything Hannah Ann Sluss Has Said, Implied, and Posted About Peter Since The Bachelor


There’s no doubt that Hannah Ann Sluss was the real winner of Peter Weber’s season The Bachelor. She didn’t end up with a fiancé at the end, but then again, neither did Weber. Instead, Sluss got to read Weber in front of a live studio audience and millions of viewers at home during the After the Final Rose special.

Sluss dropped truth bomb after truth bomb about Weber’s indecisive nature, the ways he took advantage of her towards the final rose ceremony, and the fact that he reached out to Hannah Brown when they were still engaged. She ended the entire thing with the season’s biggest mic drop, declaring, “If you wanna be with a woman, you need to become a real man.”

But Hannah Ann Sluss keeps picking the mic back up. Since the final showdown on March 10, she has not stopped talking, writing, or liking posts about Weber. Here’s every shady thing she’s said or implied about her ex:

March 11, 2020: Sluss posted a photo on Instagram dressed in Weber’s signature flight apparel. “Flyin’ solo… no turbulence accepted. PERIOD,” she wrote in the caption.

March 11, 2020: That same day, Sluss spoke to Rachel Lindsay and Becca Kufrin on the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast and implied she regretted attending the final rose ceremony. “My instincts were telling me I wasn’t getting all the information I needed to make a decision with Peter,” she said, according to Us Weekly. “That’s intuition and that’s instincts and should I have stayed on that bed in Australia? Absolutely. But I wasn’t going to give up on someone I loved….In the end, I think he took advantage of the fact that he conveniently left out very important information prior to me making a commitment with him.” She added that, “He speaks in half-truths.”

March 12, 2020: Sluss went on The Ellen Degeneres show and implied Weber was a bad kisser. When asked directly about his, um, skills, she said she didn’t know how to answer, but her face did a lot more talking for her.

March 23, 2020: Sluss took to Instagram to talk about “trust” and how she was coping with being “let down.”

“Trust Is A Must — Trusting can be really difficult but without it, connectivity and relationships suffer. For those who have freely trusted and been let down, I feel you,” she wrote. “It takes guts to trust once again, to rebuild the courage to be vulnerable and transparent.”

‘The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart’ Review: This Series Is Actually Really Addicting


Harrison is right. The cast is fascinating to watch and seem to have been made for television. There’s Sheridan, 27, who looks like a cross between Bo Bice from Idol fame and Jason Mamoa, with his long, curly hair. He has a car named Sheila, so naturally he’s looking “for a copilot for her.” There’s Jamie, 21, a hostess who says every guy she’s ever dated has cheated on her, and it’s her dream to have Mr. Perfect write her a love song. (If only it were that easy.) If the show wasn’t so set on forming romantic connections, I’d love to see what kind of music Jamie and Rudi, 24, a studio vocalist, could come up with. Much like Jamie’s frustrations with men, Rudi says she’s already dated most of the guys in L.A. and is exhausted. “Where are all the good ones?” she complains to Harrison. “I’m 24, I’m so fucking ready.”

Then there’s Trevor Holmes, 29, a social media marketing guy whom Katy Perry declared “so hot” when he auditioned for Idol a couple years ago. He currently wants someone other than his dog to be loyal and committed to him. From the looks of episode one, that won’t be a problem.

Ironically, a problem in past Bachelor seasons has been the number of contestants looking for fame—or Instagram sponsorships—and our frustration that they aren’t really there for love. With Listen to Your Heart, these contestants don’t have to hide their ambition. They all want some level of fame and success their everyday lives haven’t yet afforded them. So in order to do that, they have to fall in love—and prove they have the music chops to make a connection.

“If you’re not part of a committed couple, you’re going home,” Harrison warns says. “The ultimate challenge…it’s not just to become a music star or to find love…it’s to get it all.”

While music is the common denominator, love—and drama—is still front and center. Whether any of these contestants come out of the show with mainstream success is beside the point, and the producers know it. They just want to entertain.

“The great thing about [the show premiering now is] that there is a silver lining to this horrific situation,” Harrison says. “There is this desire for not just content but also community. And I think Listen to Your Heart is just going to be an extension of that community. We want to talk about it on social media and have that escapism that we all love The Bachelor and Bachelorette for.”

The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart premieres Monday, April 13 on ABC.

The Bachelor Host Chris Harrison Confronted Kelley Flanagan After She Said Producers Locked Her in a Closet


The country is ostensibly shut down due to a global pandemic, and yet the men and women of The Bachelor continue to make headlines.

Earlier this week, contestant Kelley Flanagan (who has rekindled some sort of relationship with Peter Weber during quarantine) spoke to Bachelor alums Ben Higgins and Ashely Iaconetti on their “Almost Famous” podcast to address some behind-the-scenes actions viewers at home didn’t see. Per Us Weekly, she claimed producers “manipulated” Weber and “locked me up in a closet for three hours” so they couldn’t interact. Wait, what?!

Before you freak out, Chris Harrison spoke with Entertainment Tonight on April 10 to clear up the situation. The show’s longtime host told ET reporter Lauren Zima that he called Flanagan to talk about her recent interview. “I said, ‘What was that? We don’t lock people in closets, so clearly you weren’t locked in a closet for three hours,” he recalled of the conversation. Harrison also said her comments were “taken a little out of context.”

“What she meant by that was she was frustrated. She’s a smart girl who I think is used to getting what she wants, and she didn’t get that time with Peter,” the host said, believing that Flanagan may have been referring to a moment in Cleveland when she was being interviewed by a producer. “You’re not in a closet. It’s in a room, and sometimes it takes hours,” he explained. “It depends on what’s going on at the time… I think Kelley was frustrated at the time, and that’s how she articulated that.”

Harrison went on to tell ET that Flanagan apologized for how her statements were perceived. “She said, ‘That was not what I meant to say.’ She’s like, ‘I’m so sorry that it came out that I was locked in a closet,'” he said. “So everybody, it’s okay. Kelly was not locked in a closet, she’s safe and she’s good, and she apologized and I laughed it off. I was like, ‘I get it, I knew what you were trying to say.'”

That same day, Harrison also told Glamour he was surprised by Flanagan and Weber’s newly rediscovered connection. “That one caught me out of the blue,” he said. He also recognizes how much Bachelor news has been flying around during this period of isolation.

“I think once we all come out of this quarantine, there’s going to be a lot of catching up to do to figure out what’s been going on,” Harrison said. We’re sure he’ll keep us posted.

Are ‘Bachelor’ Alums Madison Prewett and Connor Saeli Dating? Mike Johnson May Have Just Exposed Them


UPDATE: March 29, 2020 at 9:30 a.m. ET — Madison Prewett is shutting down rumors that she’s dating former Bachelorette contestant Connor Saeli.

On Friday, March 27, Prewett answered fan questions on an Instagram live session. According to E! News, she denied that she is seeing Saeli when asked directly by a fan. “We are not together. I am not with anyone right now,” she reportedly said. “I am just focusing on myself and taking it one day at a time. So yeah, so there’s that.”

However, the Bachelor alum also took some time to shed light on that “talk” Mike Johnson had mentioned. “[Saeli] seems like a really sweet guy and he, like, reached out right after the finale and just sent some encouragement and some support,” she said. “Really sweet, but that is it.”

ORIGINAL STORY: March 23, 2020—

Look out, Hannah Brown and Tyler Cameron: Connor Saeli and Madison Prewett may be The Bachelor’s next will-they-or-won’t-they couple. In a recent Instagram Live stream with two of Brown’s former contestants, Mike Johnson and Saeli, it became apparent that something is going on with the latter and Peter Weber’s recent ex, Prewett.

Allow me to break it down. The coronavirus outbreak has caused most of Bachelor Nation to flock to social media (even more than usual). Pilot Pete is hosting Q&As, Brown and Cameron are hanging on TikTok, and on Sunday, March 22, Johnson and Saeli chatted about life on Instagram Live. Somehow, between talks of weighted vests and bingeing Don’t F**k With Cats on Netflix, Johnson and Saeli implied multiple times that Saeli may be starting something with Prewett.

It first came up when Saeli began reading the comments (never a good idea). “Connor and Madi, please,” someone had apparently written. Johnson seemed shocked Saeli brought that up.

“I can’t believe you said that, bro,” Johnson responded.

Then, later in the conversation when the two were answering fan questions, someone asked if the two would go on Bachelor in Paradise again. When Saeli seemed hesitant, Johnson decided to get cryptic. “If a certain individual [went], would you go?” he asked.

“Sure, yeah,” Saeli said after a long pause.

Unfortunately for Saeli, Johnson was not done. After Saeli asked Johnson if he was talking to another woman from Weber’s season, Kelley Flanagan, Johnson praised her. Then he threw it back at Saeli.

“You gonna put me on blast, Imma put you on blast,’ Johnson joked. “What’s up with you and Madison, though? You talking to her?”

“I don’t know, we’ll see,” Saeli responded, before adding, “No, dude, I can’t get into anything.”

This is why we all love Mike Johnson, am I right?

Meanwhile, Prewett recently broke up with Weber after a drama-filled season.

“As Peter and I have decided to go our separate ways, I am confident that we will both move in the direction of our purpose and never forget that God has a plan in all things,” she wrote in an Instagram post on March 13. “I will always love and respect him. I am convinced our paths were meant to cross and we are both better because they did.”
