- Fantasy suites aren't used for sex Luke.
You didn't have one so maybe you don't know
but the fantasy suites aren't used for sex.
(audience applauds)
- [Unidentified Male] There you go!
- Hey guys, it's Neha Joy for the Hollywood Reporter News.
Now last night's The Bachelorette Men Tell All Edition
put all of Hannah's men back in the hot seat.
But as usual it ended up being once again the Luke show.
So back here to break down all that happened
in the reunion showdown
is THR Associate Editor, Evan Real.
Evan thanks for joining us.
- Thanks for having me I cant wait to break down
this insane men tell all taping.
- It was totally insane
and like I mentioned it really was the Luke show right?
- Once again.
- [Neha] It was crazy to see him and Chris Harrison
and him and the guys,
and then him and Hannah,
he just seemed so set in his ways.
So do you think that he was just being stubborn,
or do you think that he really didn't think
he did anything wrong?
- I think it was a little bit of both.
I would like to think that at some level
he knows that what we did was wrong
but he was sticking true to what he said.
He said he had no regrets.
He said he had no regrets which is insane.
If I was Luke P. and I had watched myself
on that show that whole season.
Every little thing I did,
every way that I hurt Hannah,
every fight that I got with, got in with the guys,
like you have absolutely no regrets?
- [Neha] Yeah.
- But then he did try to backtrack a little bit
which is like his favorite move
he's like wait a minute wait a minute
I do have some regrets
but he said that he didn't have any regrets
about the way that he spoke to Hannah
about physical intimacy and fantasy suites.
Basically he was slut shaming her.
- Yeah absolutely.
It seemed like he was really just talking in circles.
- Yeah.
- [Neha] And then Hannah came out later
and explained herself saying
why she kept Luke around so far into the season.
And she explained that the reason was because
she did feel insecure about being the Bachelorette
and she said night one Luke
was the only one to reassure her.
That she felt that he was there for the right reasons.
So going back
do you think that he really was there for Hannah?
- I think he was there to win the show.
It seemed like he came on the show
and he clearly knew that he wanted to succeed
and get the girl
and I feel like he just said anything
that he knew would keep him there.
I mean every time she thought about sending him home
he somehow weaseled his way back into her heart
and she gave him so many second chances.
So I don't think he was there for the right reasons,
I think he was there to win.
- Do you think that we truly, truly seen the last of Luke?
- I am praying.
She said sorry for having so much Luke P. on camera
so I think that really was the final sendoff for him.
I'm praying and keeping my fingers crossed,
that we don't see him on-screen anymore.
- [Neha] You never know he like comes back from the
dead every time.
- [Evan] Yeah. Right.
- [Neha] And just keeps reappearing, so I'm like
- [Evan] You really never know.
- You never know.
You think he'll be in Paradise?
- Oh God that would be actually really entertaining, so.
- [Neha] That's what I was thinking.
(both laughing)
- I was like I don't want him.
- Yeah.
- But part of me kind of wants him there
just for the entertainment factor.
- Totally, hopefully he pops up.
- But I think Bachelor Nation is done with him.
- Yeah we need a break right?
- Yeah I don't know I'm on the fence.
- Luke P. your fifteen is done my man.
Another guy that's been getting a lot of spotlight
and attention during men tall all was Mike.
- [Evan] Yeah.
- [Neha] He was someone that was getting attention
for a good reason.
- [Evan] Yeah.
- [Neja] And a lot of people kind of want him
as the next bachelor.
Do you think he'd make a good bachelor?
- I mean he seems like a really strong contender
and yeah I think he has everything.
He has all the makings of a great bachelor.
He's handsome, he's respectful, Hannah loves him.
- [Neha] And he would make history
as the first black bachelor.
So I think that would be really cool.
- [Evan] That'd be amazing.
- And something that this show hasn't ever done
before with the Bachelor.
- Right yeah I mean we had Rachel Lindsay
as the first black bachelorette
but it would be amazing to have a guy in that role
to make history,
to kind of push the casting for The Bachelor
and Bachelorette in an even more inclusive direction,
I would love that.
- [Neha] Yeah.
- I really kind of feel like he's the only option
at this point I mean who else.
- [Neha] Yeah.
- Maybe Tyler but could he carry the show on his own
I don't know.
- That's what I was thinking.
Do you know of any other contenders
that could probably be thrown into the mix
from men tell all?
- It kind of seemed like the sure fire choice
was Mike right?
- [Neha] Was Mike, funny thing if Hannah
doesn't choose Tyler I would say either Mike or Tyler
but it's really leaning towards Mike right now.
- Yeah, I'm not mad about it.
- Yeah, we are not mad about it.
We're rooting for Mike ourselves.
- Yes, absolutely.
- Yeah we will see what happens.
And guys don't miss the two part season finale of
The Bachelorette airing next Monday and Tuesday on ABC.
For the Hollywood Reporter News, I'm Neha Joy.
