The Valley\u2018s\u00a0Lala Kent\u00a0sent an important message out to her Amazon Live audience about the season 12 cast of\u00a0VPR.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou guys. I heard it\u2019s really good. I hope everyone gives [the new VPR] a chance.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHere\u2019s the thing,\u201d continued Lala. \u201cI\u2019m sure the cast is very excited, but also freaking out. I\u2019m sure they\u2019re getting a lot of hate right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know if any of you saw\u00a0the message that Tamra Judge received, but that\u2019s the world we are living in right now. People are so vile and disgusting. Most of us who are filming a reality TV show could never in a million years come up with some of the things that people say to us.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo please congratulate these people. They\u2019re young, wild, and free in LA. They\u2019re just having a good time and got asked to be on a TV show. Freaking awesome. Be happy for them.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not going to be how it was with us. It\u2019s going to be new and different. So just take it for what it is. Sit back and enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The official cast list for season 12 dropped.<\/p>\n
Joining the Bravosphere for VPR\u00a0season 12 are\u00a0Venus Binkley, Jason Cohen, Shayne Davis, Chris Hahn, Angelica Jensen, Marcus Johnson, Audrey Lingle, Natalie Maguire, Demy Selem, and Kim Suarez.<\/p>\n
An engagement at the end of Bachelor Nation shows isn\u2019t a requirement, but it is an unspoken expectation from viewers.\u00a0Golden Bachelor<\/em>\u00a0lead Mel Owens gave his winner, Peg Munson, his final rose, but not an engagement ring. He presented her with a diamond promise ring instead.<\/p>\n His lack of commitment was a problem in his relationship with his runner-up. Mel Owens opened up after the show about the shocking reason Cindy Cullers turned him off.<\/p>\n Cindy Cullers was ready to leave her home in Austin, Texas, to move to California to pursue a relationship with Mel Owens. She introduced him to her family during the Hometown Dates. But their relationship hit a major bump in Antigua as the Golden Bachelor season was winding down.<\/p>\n Peg Munson was the other finalist for the second season of the popular ABC spinoff. Her connection with Mel was strengthened during their final one-on-one date and Fantasy Suite date. He never made it to the Fantasy Suite with Cindy Cullers.<\/p>\n She made the decision to quit the show before their overnight date. The shocking move came after she confronted him about his feelings for her. She wanted him to profess his love, but he couldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m just disappointed that you got that far without helping me understand that you weren\u2019t ready for a commitment. Not just me, but all those women that you brought along this journey when did you know that you weren\u2019t ready for something,\u201d Cindy told him during the After the Final Rose special.<\/p>\n Mel Owens reveals his side of why he couldn\u2019t commit to her or Peg with an engagement.<\/p>\n The episode before the season finale ended in a cliffhanger with Cindy pushing Mel to say how he felt about her. When the show picked back up for the season finale, he did speak about how much he enjoyed spending time with her. But that wasn\u2019t enough.<\/p>\n She chose to self-eliminate, leaving Peg Munson as the last woman. Mel and Peg happily left the show together in a relationship, but not engaged. In a joint post-show interview with PEOPLE magazine, he revealed that Cindy turned him off long before she left the show.<\/p>\n \u201c[Cindy] was telling me what I was thinking, and what I did,\u201d he told the outlet. Mel added that she \u201cwanted to be married off the island, and professing her love, death do us part, and off the island with a ring.\u201d He wasn\u2019t interested in that.<\/p>\n Mel Owens denied having commitment issues. \u201cI\u2019m committed, just not to her. My feelings were stronger for Peg, much stronger,\u201d he said about his feelings for his Golden Bachelor winner.<\/p>\n Cindy Cullers and Mel Owens wished each other the best. Fans hope to see her back as the\u00a0next\u00a0Golden Bachelorette<\/em>.\u00a0Meanwhile, Peg Owens did her best to\u00a0shut down rumors\u00a0of problems in her relationship with the former NFL player already.<\/p>\n Mel Owens told\u00a0PEOPLE<\/em>\u00a0magazine that they plan to take it slow. \u201cWe\u2019re going to just do what we do and have fun, and then it\u2019s going to grow from there. Nothing planning about the future of our love story. It\u2019s going to happen naturally,\u201d he said about their relationship.<\/p>\n Peg Munson added, \u201c[It\u2019s] just like when you date somebody. Right? That\u2019s what happens. You just date somebody and then it progresses onto either a proposal or a marriage, or whatever it grows into.\u201d<\/p>\n Tell us in the comments if you think Mel and Peg\u2019s relationship will lead to marriage, or if Cindy was right about his commitment issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Valley\u2018s\u00a0Lala Kent\u00a0sent an important message out to her Amazon Live audience about the season 12 cast of\u00a0VPR. \u201cYou guys.
