What is This Smart, Well-Educated, Dallas Attorney Rachel Lindsay Doing on The Bachelor?
LawNewz.com:
If you were watching The Bachelor Monday night, you might have noticed the presence of an unlikely contestant: Dallas attorney Rachel Lindsay. She caught our attention because why would such a highly qualified and accomplished young woman such as Lindsay subject herself to the circus that is The Bachelor?RELATED: The Bachelor's Rachel Is the First Black Woman to Get a First Impression Rose
She’s got a pretty impressive legal pedigree. Lindsay, 31, a Marquette University Law School graduate, received her bachelor’s degree in kinesiology and sports management from the University of Texas in Austin. She has worked in various positions related to sports, entertainment, and media relations, in addition to working as an intern in the public defender’s office in Milwaukee and as a legal intern with the Milwaukee Bucks. After graduating from Marquette, Rachel worked as an attorney with Brown & Hofmeister, LLP as well as the Willis Law Group before moving onto her current position as a civil litigation attorney with Cooper & Scully, P.C. Lindsay is admitted to practice law in Texas, Wisconsin and the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. Surely not the predictable candidate for a run of The Bachelor.
So why the need to appear on the primetime show? It seems that while she is proud of her accomplishments, Lindsey believes all of the time spent on her professional life may have ultimately taken a toll on her love life. In her profile, Lindsay states that focusing too much on her career is her biggest regret and believes that might have led her to miss out on her chance at finding love.

Amanda Stanton on Breaking Off Engagement to Josh Murray: 'I Wish Him the Best'
People.com:
Josh Murray and Amanda Stanton have called it quits, PEOPLE confirms.RELATED: Josh Murray Hated By Andi Dorfman, But Amanda Stanton Split Was Totally Different! Why The Relationships Weren't The Same
“Josh and I did break up,” Stanton, 26, told PEOPLE at The Bachelor Charity Premiere Party at Sycamore Tavern in Los Angeles on Monday.
“I know there’s been a lot of speculation about our relationship and to be honest, I think some people thought I was avoiding it,” she continued. “I think it’s good to set the record straight and tell everyone that we’re not together anymore. I just didn’t really know how to go about it.”
Murray, 32, and Stanton met while starring as contestants on Bachelor in Paradise during the summer of 2016.
The two hit it off almost instantly, quickly becoming one of the season’s most solid couples, and went public with their engagement following the season finale of Bachelor in Paradise on Sept. 6 — but their road to engagement wasn’t always smooth.
“There was a lot of different reasons [we called off our engagement],” Stanton said. “At the end of the day, we were just two very different people. I think there are some things when you love someone you can work on and try to fix things, and then there are some things you just can’t fix. I think it got to that point where we just knew it wasn’t going to work.”

NBA Legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Thinks ‘The Bachelor’ is Killing Romance
PageSix.com:
There’s at least one person out there who isn’t excited to watch Nick Viall’s journey on “The Bachelor.”RELATED: It looks like ‘Bachelor’ Nick Viall could finally be engaged
In a guest column for The Hollywood Reporter, former NBA star Kareem Abdul-Jabbar attacked the show, warning viewers, “There is an insidious darkness beneath the fairytale pabulum they are serving up.”
He goes on to explain the short-term effects of the ABC show are harmless, but the long-term effects can “have serious consequences,” just like with “smoking” or “listening to Kenny G.”
“These shows promote the scorched-earth effects of raising females to be continually judged physically above all other attributes and then measured against impossible physical standards that has marginalized a majority of girls and women,” Abdul-Jabbar writes. “The real crime is the lack of intellectual and appearance diversity, which leaves the contestants as interchangeable as the Mr. Potato Head parts.”
He concluded, “The real danger is when we try to apply that fantasy thinking to our own lives. And when we think about where our children learn about the realities of romance, it becomes even more important to question what may influence their behavior in choosing a partner.”
