NO BUTTS ABOUT IT
The Bachelor ripped for sloppily photo-shopping fuller bikini bottoms on scantily-clad contestants
BACHELOR fans are baffled by the show’s decision to VERY noticeably “paint” over the contestants butts when the ladies were in their swimsuits during this week’s episode.
Star of the show Peter Weber, 28, and his group of ladies on the headed to Costa Rica in Monday’s episode and Bachelor Nation expressed their confusion online for the embarrassing editing blunder.

The episode kicked off with a steamy one-on-one date between Pilot Pete and Sydney Hightower, 24 inside of a romantic cave.
When the two walked into the water, an apparent drawing was attempted to blend into her black bikini bottom to cover her backside more fully but caught the eyes of viewers.
After she got the rose, the LA native reality star took a handful of women on a group date where they were met by a photographer and Cosmopolitan’s editor-in-chief Jessica Pels for the opportunity to appear on the digital cover of the magazine.
Each of the remaining women got to pick from racks of designer swimsuits to choose one that best represented their style and many girls chose pieces that left little to the imagination on the backside.

As they took turns posed next to Peter in the waterfall, you can see various women have additional material around their butts that were drawn in post-production to offer fuller coverage.
Lexi Buchanan, 26, had blurry lines on the edges of her blue swimsuit when she modeled in the Costa Rican jungle.
22-year-old Mykenna was fully covered with thick black lines that went around the backside of her colorful sexy cut-out one piece bathing suit.
Both of the show’s Victoria’s - Paul and Fuller - fell victim to the same fate when their rear’s were shown on the TV with what looked like marker painted over.
The Louisiana beauty pageant queen had the most eye-catching edit when a huge yellow drawing was over her swimsuit in what some viewers referred to as a “diaper” and immediately in the next shot they left her backside untouched.

Fans of the show were quick to voice their astonishment at production’s attempt to censor the contestant’s butts.
One person tweeted: “why does the bachelor paint on bigger bikini bottoms on the girls lmao it’s so noticeable.”
“Since when do the producers of the bachelors draw over the girls butts when they are in bathing suits? It’s horrible,” one viewer said next to the face palm emoji.
Another watcher pointed out: “Cracks me up how it’s ok to show the bachelor make out with multiple women in one night, but better photoshop full bikini bottoms on their butts.
”These bikini bottom edits on #TheBachelor are killing me,” someone wrote of the obvious editing choice.

ended up being chosen as the winner to appear on in Cosmo with Bachelor Pete but it was announced earlier this week the magazine after it was revealed the Virginia native previously modeled for a company that donned the message “White Lives Matter.”
The company claims they are part of the Marlins Lives Matter organization that focused on the prevention of white and blue marlins from being overfished.

Branded merchandise for the company used the phrases “white lives matter” and “blue lives matter” on shirts and hats which the reality contestant can be seen wearing in the photos.
"Unequivocally, the White Lives Matter movement does not reflect the values of the Cosmo brand. We stand in solidarity with Black Lives Matter, and any cause that fights to end injustices for people of color,” Cosmo’s editor-in-chief said in a statement.
The Bachelors airs Mondays at 8pm EST on ABC.
