MAIN SQUEEZE CAST SPOTTED BOARDING FLIGHT TO MARRAKESH
posted on TMZ.com
JOHN F. KENNEDY AIRPORT, NEW YORK CITY: The cast and crew of Main Squeeze were spotted boarding a flight to Marrakesh at New York’s Kennedy Airport. TMZ can exclusively confirm that Bea Schumacher was eating a Cinnabon at the flight’s gate—guess she really does ignore her critics!

“So”—Lauren twisted the cap off a bottle of iced tea with a sharp pop—“it seems like you’ve fully abandoned our plan not to go falling for any of these men.”
“I guess that’s true.” Bea tried to look contrite, but couldn’t quite muster it—her lips kept quaking into a smile as she luxuriated in her first-class seat on their transatlantic flight to Morocco. “How were last night’s ratings?”
“Huge, obviously.” Lauren grinned. “People love that romance shit. But you realize we have a new problem now? If you’re going to try to make things work for real with Asher, you need to do the same with the other four men.”
“What?” Bea was incredulous. “Why?”
“Because you’re a terrible actress!” Lauren hissed, lowering her voice as a flight attendant walked by with warm washcloths. “If you’re genuinely falling for Asher, but just pretending to date the rest of the men, all of America will be able to see it. We’re only halfway through this season, and if everyone knows from this week on exactly who you plan to end up with, believe me, we will hemorrhage viewers. Not good for you—not tenable for me.”
“Okay,” Bea conceded. “What do you want me to do?”
“I know for a fact that Asher isn’t the only guy here who has feelings for you. In fact, I think any of the five guys you have left would be open to a serious relationship.”
Bea raised an eyebrow. “Even Luc?”
Lauren laughed. “Okay, well, inasmuch as Luc is capable of having a serious relationship with anyone, I think he’d be down to try with you. He likes you, Bea. How do you feel about him?”
“I mean, I’m obviously super attracted to him, but I just don’t know if it could be anything long-term.” She glanced toward the back of the plane, though of course she couldn’t see Luc, who was somewhere in coach with the other four men and most of their crew. She conjured his image in her mind’s eye instead, feeling the firm way he’d raked his fingers through her hair when he kissed her.
“Your chemistry is genuine, and that’s a good start,” Lauren was saying—Bea jerked her mind back to the present. “I’m gonna give you two a one-on-one this week. It’s been overdue since the premiere—you can get to know him better, and if nothing else, we’ll get some good making out on camera.”
Bea smiled and shook her head. “It’s a tough job, but someone has to do it.”
“Attagirl. What about Sam? You two got along so well on your date.”
It was true; they had—but Bea had a difficult time believing she could build a serious relationship with a guy who was only twenty-four.
“I guess I didn’t push myself to see if I could really develop feelings for Sam on our date,” Bea considered, “because his age made it easy for me to dismiss him, and at that point I was still trying not to fall for any of the men.”
“But the attraction is there?”
“I mean, I have eyes.”
“I think you two could have real potential—and Marin thought so too, remember? I’m gonna cook up something special for your date with him this week. Can you do me—and him—the kindness of giving him a real chance?”
“Yes.” Bea nodded. “I can do that.”
“Great! So that just leaves Wyatt and Jefferson. Thoughts on them?”
“I like them both as people—especially Wyatt.”
“The question is who do I send on your third date of the week—you’re bringing two guys on that one.”
“Does that mean I’ll need to eliminate one of those men on the date?” Bea asked with trepidation.
“No. Since you’re only eliminating one man this week, we’ll save that for the big ceremony with all five of them.” Lauren drummed her fingers on the armrest between them. “You and Wyatt need more time for sure, but I can’t really justify giving him another date when you just had one last week. Particularly since I assume you’d like to spend more time with Asher?”
Bea nodded, a flush creeping into her cheeks. She definitely wanted that.
“What about Jefferson, then? Are you interested in him?”
“I mean, when he showed up on the first night, I thought, Oh thank God, a man who looks like someone I could actually see myself ending up with.”
