I don’t watch Traitors.  There, I said it.  Not that I don’t like it – I’ve never seen it.  I’m absolutely convinced I’d love it if I bothered to turn it on.  That said, I have been following this Colton Underwood situation, and I know a thing or two about him.  What you have to understand is that most reality contestants are driven by one thing – the desire to be famous.  Colton is driven by this.  Not a criticism – in fact, something I admire.  But when you go on THREE seasons of Bachelor shows without interest in women (whatever degree of “questioning” he may have had), there is one thing for certain – he knows how to keep a secret.  Yes, many people will argue that he had issues, he had questions, he needed therapy.  Absolutely.  But what he needed even more was to be on TV.  So, stop the bashing of Michael Rapaport, who simply said of Colton that he’s “better at holding a secret than anyone I know.”

Then there’s the situation with Lisa Rinna – who I also have enormous affection for.  She claims she playfully called Colton a “stalker”.  Then she found out he actually had been accused of stalking Cassie Randolph, one of his many Bachelor exes (oh, those silly questioning boys).  Cassie even got a restraining order against him.  That’s why Rinna took back her accusation.  “It’s come to my attention that my post that I responded to in my ‘housewife mode’ is taking on a life of its own and it’s causing real problems for Colton.  I do not want this because Colton and I are great.  He was a great and is a great nemesis for me on the show and in the game…The fact that the backlash is happening, I feel horrible about because I don’t want to hurt anybody.  I’m here to play the game and have fun.  We had so much fun.  I’ve only always had a great time with him.  So, please guys be gentle.  It’s a game, it’s a TV show.  We’re all doing the best we can.  Don’t send death threats or do anything to jeopardize somebody’s family.”
