Were Adrian Hassan and Brayden Bowers producers' pick? 'The Bachelorette' Season 20 fans call ABC show 'rigged' for rose ceremony drama

'The Bachelorette' Season 20 contestants Adrian Hassan and Brayden Bowers were saved by Charity Lawson in the rose ceremony despite the 'longest kiss' drama

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'The Bachelorette' Season 20 contestant Adrian Hassan is the talk of the show because of his gossipy skills. In episode 2, we saw Brayden Bowers calling Charity Lawson "classless" for kissing other men in the show. He got furious as Charity kissed fellow contestant Joey Graziadei during a group date. This news took no time to reach Charity, thanks to Adrian. 

Adrian seemed more like a person who gossiped about the other contestants to Charity. Was that the reason why Charity saved him in the rose ceremony? Fans called out Adrian and said that he was a "messy" contestant. However, even after creating unnecessary drama in the show, he was not eliminated. Adrain being saved in the show made fans wonder whether this was the producers' choice.

Did producers purposely save Adrian Hassan and Brayden Bowers?

It is obvious in all reality shows that the producers save some contestants purposely. But here it seems that Charity also wanted the same thing. And who would not want to be updated with all the gossip? However, not only did Charity save Adrian but Brayden as well. Adrian was the one who gossiped about Brayden to Charity. Therefore, we might expect more drama between the cast members in the further episodes. Indeed, it is speculated that in order to maintain an interesting storyline in the show, the producers kept both contestants.

'All this bulls**t with Brayden and Adrian is f**king stupid'

As both Brayden and Adrian remained in the show, a fan tweeted, "All this bulls**t with Brayden and Adrian is f**king stupid and annoying. Why does she like Brayden? YUCK!!!" Another wrote, "Every season of #TheBachelorette + #TheBachelor is rigged by production to keep the most annoying person on the show for the sake of drama + they’re always picked last in the rose ceremony…it’s so predictable & so boring I can just imagine producers plotting like #UnReal."

Furthermore, a fan slammed Charity's choice and said, "Of course she kept Adrian because he keep giving her all the tea, and she obviously is going to get rid of Brayden, but for now she too giddy/blinded by him…I choose to believe that she really didn’t hear “the questioning your character bit."

Moreover, a fan asked for justice and said, "I'm sorry, Charity chose Brayden AND Adrian over John Henry?!?!?! Where is the justice?" Another speculated, "I kind of don’t like that Adrian made her feel like guys “weren’t there for the right reasons” when he could have just said he feels like some of the guys aren’t mature." "Just waiting for the Adrian/ Brayden two-on-one date now," tweeted another.

The new episodes of 'The Bachelorette' Season 20 air every Monday at 9 pm ET on ABC.
