Join this channel to get access to perks:    / @gameofroses   Former Bachelor producer Adam Mansfield steps into the pit and gives a rare behind-the-scenes account of how the franchise evolved across his decade in production. He talks Taylor Frankie Paul fallout, Juan Pablo as an inflection point, Nick Viall’s producer-like game sense, how villain edits really work, why the lead stopped being the crown jewel, and the deep-cut story of how Jade Roper got cast. It’s a sharp, funny, insider-coded conversation about producer strategy, franchise drift, and what reality dating TV becomes when the game starts eating the game.
