(Caila went home, in a very
awkward turn of events that all but solidified her turn as the next Bachelorette.).
While Caila's Filipino heritage was discussed during her hometown date, JoJo's
date focused mostly on the protectiveness of her brothers.
From everything I have heard, Caila is not happy,
nor should she be,” Steve wrote, further explaining his take on the casting process:.
I found myself not able to hold back,” he explained to Caila about his feelings for the two other women-
and how his feelings for her didn't match up.
It's very possible that they thought
JoJo would be more likable than Caila, if only because she was one of two women who were
told by Ben that he loved them, a show first.
Caila, who is half-Filipino,
may not be the Bachelorette, but it will be interesting to see how ABC's executives and the show's producers- who were so confident the new one would be“diverse”- spin JoJo's casting.
