  • This sadly includes fan fave Kelley Flanagan.


Update: March 3, 2020

Amid the chaos on The Bachelor’s “Women Tell All” special last night, you might’ve noticed that Natasha Parker and Kelley Flanagan weren’t sitting on the stage.

Reality Steve hinted this would be the case, but he wasn’t completely sure why. Last week, he suggested that if a contestant was popular on the show and finished close to the end, then they’re basically a shoo-in to be invited. Now that the episode aired, it’s apparent that the Bachelor producers, who typically personally extend invitations to the contestants, didn’t want Kelley to be there. As for Natasha, she posted that she was invited but “couldn’t make [it] because of life stuff.”

Hard to believe, but we’re already only a few days away from Peter Weber’s fantasy suite dates, which means we’re thisclose to finding out who he’s going to spend the next few months of his life dating marry and who his mom is crying about in all those teasers.

But before we get there, it’s “The Women Tell All,” aka the episode in which the eliminated contestants bicker and Chris Harrison gets his screen time. And Reality Steve just hit up Twitter with the surprising news that a couple of the women weren’t invited to the reunion show, including the main fan fave from this season, icon Kelley Flanagan (Ashley P. is a close runner-up, don’t @ me!).

Reality Steve shared that both Kelley and Natasha Parker wouldn’t be making an appearance on the episode, tweeting:

“Word broke yesterday that Kelley told people she wasn’t invited to the WTA. This is true. Why? I have no idea. But if you finished 5th & you were popular on the season & you don’t get invited to WTA, it means they didn’t like her. No other reason. Not sure why Natasha wasn’t.”

He also added:

“But basically Kelley wasn’t invited, which (1) is kinda bullshit (2) doesn’t make a hell of a lot of sense (3) isn’t addressed at the WTA and (4) pretty much kills any chance of her being the Bachelorette.”

And while we might never know why the Bachelor team allegedly dislikes Kelley enough to exclude her from the episode, maybe it’s because viewers were pretty much convinced that she wasn’t into Peter or because she Liked a tweet saying that she “clearly hates Peter,” lol.
