Bachelorette fans spot ‘blatant’ fakery in trailer for Michelle Young’s explosive next episode
BACHELORETTE fans have spotted "blatantly fake" editing in the trailer for Michelle Young's next episode.
Eagle-eyed viewers noticed that producers had used an old sound bite of former Bachelorette Katie Thurston crying in the teaser for Tuesday's show.
The sound of Katie sobbing was played over a scene in the new preview of Michelle pacing back and forth on the beach and looking tearful with her head in her hands.
An Internet sleuth pointed out the fail on Reddit, sharing comparison videos of Katie crying in the original scene versus what was made out to be Michelle crying in the new video.
"Bachelor editors slacking off? Used Katie crying in Michelle’s preview," the fan wrote along the footage.
Users claimed producers had used Katie's devastating soundbite to suggest an upsetting ending and were convinced that Michelle was actually crying "happy tears".
One wrote: "I’m pretty sure she’s crying cause she just got proposed to and they just put dramatic crying over it. Total fake out!"
Another added: ";This is crazy. Also you can see Michelle smiling. I they’re trying to make it look like she’s breaking down but they seem like happy tears."

A third posted: "Michelle is so composed you have to dig up another lead crying to make the usual fake out trailer. I don't think she broke down at all so far which is crazy to compare to the past leads."
Meanwhile, Bachelorette blogger Reality Steve has already confirmed who Michelle picks as her winner this season.

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD!
"Had heard rumblings since the season ended but got the confirmation I needed the end of last week," Steve said.
According to the spoiler king, Michelle ends up with bachelor Nayte Olukoya.
The Canadian native left a strong first impression on the Minnesota schoolteacher as soon as he stepped out of the limo on night one.
Following her first cocktail party, Michelle gave her first impression rose to Nayte - making him the clear frontrunner early on.
Fans first met Michelle on Matt James' season of The Bachelor, where she almost made it all the way, ending her run as the runner-up and a fan favorite.
STILL GOING STRONG?
The couple were first rumored to be together back in August when Steve spotted them on a "date" with some of her friends.
A source exclusively told The Sun this month: ”Michelle is still happily with Nayte and they're watching the show together.
“He’s come to Minnesota to see her and Michelle is actually very impressed with how Nayte's handling himself in the group.
“A lot of times the leads get turned off when they watch how their partner was when they weren't around but for Nayte it's the opposite."
Though the show has aired the couple making out, the informant claimed their first kiss did not fully make it to air.

“Producers have had to cut down so, so many of [Michelle and Nate's] scenes because their connection is so strong, people would assume it's inevitable they end up together," the source said.
“They cut out their first kiss and didn't air a lot of scenes that showed their strong connection."
