    The director did not provide a conclusion. I think that was one of the good parts about the show, which is that they really didn't try to spend a lot of time providing an answer to the question posed by the title. They touched upon some of the creepiness factors associated with the other ex-boyfriend of the mother, but were also careful to point out evidence that tended to exonerate him.

    The story is really more about some shoddy police work, prosecutorial misconduct, and racial prejudices in a small, rural community.
    That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

      Letdown. Not horrible, but not good. Great setup, but overall? Meh.

          The previously mentioned Fyre Festival proves that rule wrong.

              I didn't know either because I have retired from The Bachelor.

              BTW, my daughter just roped her boyfriend into watching the next season of The Bachelor. Dr. Mrs. and I used to watch TB with her before we got married.

              My girl is wicked smaht.

                I had just read the People (shudder) article about it before I posted.

                That show is ****ing weird and I really don’t think any of them would register a reading on an intelligence test.

                  The show seems now to be 100% about boosting your budding Twitter Influencer career.

                  This is as opposed to its pure beginnings, when it was a consensual slave auction with partial nudity.

                    It's amazing to me (maybe it shouldn't be anymore?) how many people have turned their stint in reality TV into a career. Obviously most never do (and some probably never cared to) and some have that did want it flamed out spectacularly, but some I must begrudgingly admit have profited handsomely.

                          The guy wrote an jingle for a dog food brand with 22 followers on Twitter and thinks that is his career achievement thus far. He thinks there's a future for him.

                          “At this point, my most major accomplishment is that I’ve signed a deal with a dog food company,” Jed told his potential father-in-law after Robert asked how his career was going and if he’d be able to financially support his daughter. “I’ve already written their jingle and that’s been like my first real breakthrough.”
                          The musician’s ex-girlfriend Haley Stevens revealed to PEOPLE in June that the two were still dating when Jed left to film The Bachelorette, telling her that he was only joining the show to boost his music career.

                            Yeah. Colton was a more or less decent human being, which of course made the show boring. Hannah's claim to fame was being Miss Alabama at some point, which should pretty much tell you everything you need to know. The last couple seasons they slog through and then try to have something crazy happen on the last episode, which they tease all season long. Ah well, at least there's BIP.

                              I assume BIP will eventually move to a forum (Netflix?) in which they can do full frontal and live stream the actual Honeymoon Suite sex. That's really all the show has left.
