I think Hannah being so open and emotional, which is also what has led to reproach and messiness, has in an unplanned way allowed us to see the effects that these producers have on contestants up close. She clearly feels a lot and deeply, possibly more than some others, but she also shows it more. I am sure other contestants have felt used, or sad, or confused, or angry, but some maybe aren't that in tune with the emotions or opt to not show it.

She reminds me of Blake. That was the other moment this year when I looked deeply at production and how their manipulations affect contestants. Because Blake, whatever you think of him, is also an emotional person and also shared how this affected him, was raw. His BIP post-show impacted me, even though I am not a huge Blake fan!!, I feel for him a lot. His story with Caelynn opened my eyes to the moral boundaries producers cross because Blake shared the truth and was willing to show all of his emotion behind it. He was actually distraught. And I feel the same for Hannah. The manipulation is so visible, the contract, CH is selling this season 24/7 pretending she's not on DWTS....when we see producer hijinks so clearly and see the raw emotions it inspires more empathy. (In fact I gained some for Colton too when he went on that podcast and explained his season). I agree I think this should extend to more people! A lot of contestants don't share enough and we don't know how they feel or if what the show depicts is true. But in any case we never know what could be happening behind the scenes and we should keep that in mind.

I feel bad for both Peter and Hannah. I wish the show moved on from this story since they are clearly not together.
