The Sun<\/a>. \u201cAbout half of the cast was swapped out after it was confirmed Taylor would be the lead to find suitors more tailored to her.\u201d<\/p>\nRelated Story<\/p>\n
So, why were the men replaced? Two reasons: \u201cThey were a little more cookie cutter and the producers were looking for more spice or maybe some guys implied they weren\u2019t wanting someone with children. There\u2019s a few factors for why so many men got swapped out but those were the main two reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n
Apparently Taylor was \u201creally happy\u201d with her group of guys and thought they represented a \u201cgood variety of backgrounds, ages, interests, jobs, etc.\u201d She also appreciated that some of the men had kids and had been married before.<\/p>\n
Filming ended up going relatively smoothly, with he source shouting out Taylor being being \u201creally easy to work with\u201d despite concern she\u2019d be difficult. \u201cI think there were some fears she may have been a diva heading into it because of her Mormon Wives persona but she was really down to earth and got along with the crew really well,\u201d they said. \u201cShe was surprisingly up for whatever the show threw at her and had a really good attitude throughout filming. In terms of the leads, she has been the easiest and most enjoyable the team has worked with in years.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Bachelorette allegedly replaced half of Taylor Frankie Paul\u2019s men to make the season extra \u201cspicy.\u201dTaylor was \u201creally…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":332157,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[1105,153036,1107,93,61,60,1106,144979,153035,132496,282],"class_list":["post-332156","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-content-type-news","tag-contentid-acc02355-098c-4fbe-8268-fc9307ed3e76","tag-displaytype-standard-article","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-locale-us","tag-read_time-2","tag-shorttitle-the-bachelorette-replaced-half-of-taylors-men","tag-subsection-tv","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/332156","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=332156"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/332156\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/332157"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=332156"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=332156"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=332156"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
