Why Peter Weber hasn't done the usual post-Bachelor media appearances

The Hollywood Reporter

Past Bachelors would talk to the press and appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and Good Morning America following the season finale. But Weber has skipped the usual press rounds because of uncertainty with his relationship with Madison Prewett, says ABC reality chief Robert Mills. "Peter and Madison are trying to figure their way out and what’s next for them, and I think that answering a million questions right now when they haven’t had the time to ask those questions of themselves would have been really difficult and kind of a gauntlet," says Mills. Mills also discussed keeping the finale under wraps. "There were some curveballs that made it easier to make it look like certain things happened, certainly in teasing the finale in our super-tease and things like that," he says. "But it was really just about everybody really not saying anything." Asked whether The Bachelor will use the same method of telling a few people the result to avoid spoilers, Mills responds: "We do that all the time. And I think some people take it really seriously. I remember way back — this was back before spoilers were really a thing — I don’t even think (first Bachelorette) Trista (Sutter) told her own family until it aired. It’s just how serious you want to take it. It did mean a lot to Peter and it was great, and it’s absolutely something moving forward that we would tell people: 'See how much better it is when everybody is watching along with you and not saying they know what happened?'"
