Bachelor Canada - Season 2 - *Sleuthing - *Spoilers* - *Speculation* - Discussion #2

^^ While those are plausible reasons, imo, they are not positive reasons if Trish is F1 and still with Tim.

Maybe a positive reason for Trish and Lisa but my struggle is how is it a positive reason for Trish and Tim?

Trish's relationship with Tim should matter far, far more to Trish than any friendship with Lisa if Trish is F1 and with Tim still. Her loyalty would lie with Tim and having him viewed as a dodged bullet is not positive. The use of the phrase 'dodged a bullet' implies that there is something negative about Tim not about Trish or even Lisa. Trish has nothing to gain by liking a post by someone Tim dumped for her (if she is F1) and certainly nothing to gain with Tim by liking that post. Tim had no love lost concerning Lisa, even at WTA, he said he respected she owned up to it but he didn't give her anything other than a formal response.

In the recent BachAussie show the girls referred to Blake in the exact same way. All the girls were stating on SM how they made lifetime friendships and how the greatest reward gained from being on the show was their friendship with each other. (Deja vu...) Even before the outcome (the lead dumping his F1 fiance) the girls were saying that they had 'dodged a bullet' regarding Blake. The connotation that Lisa used is not a positive one in regards to Tim himself. Trish liking it to support her friend over her possible fiance? Support makes sense but not the dodged bullet support, imo.

^ I agree. No matter the situation, I would not like a picture from a girl that had the caption "I dodged a bullet" that was in regards to my fiancé. That's a real negative thing to say about Tim. Not sure Why Trisha would be okay with that if she was with him. I certainly wouldn't "like" the picture.

I see where you're coming from, but since I don't take this show as seriously as other people do, my interpretation of "fiancé" is quite liberal.

double post

^^
April is a sweet girl and I wish her the very best. If she is with Tim and happy. good for them. If she is F2 and in a bad place, I wish her the best.
I wish the same for Trish
I do not need to try to find the worse to justify my choice of F1. If I am wrong, I will still sleep very well after the finale

I don't think April is in a bad place....I truly believe she leaves on her own but IMO someone does leave and I think that is April. IMO

We will never know the reason and could be a very good explanation also.  We can read into things so easily and judge so unfairly.  When it gets to this time in every season I don't understand why we have to make someone look bad to make someone look good.  When it comes down to the F2 why can't we just love them both and see the good in both and know that nothing we see or think will change what has already happened.  This is a place to enjoy a show that we all love to sleuth and figure out if our instinct and feelings match with the outcome.  We are putting a puzzle together with very little few pieces and trying to find those pieces.   Well at least that is what I have tried to do and it saddens me that we get so personal.  I guess all is fair in love and war.  

I wasn't going to respond, but please don't put words in my mouth. I don't appreciate it at all. That is not what I'm doing. I'm not trying to make one girl look better than the other. That has nothing to do with my post. Like you said, this is a place to sleuth and for me, that includes SM and I just wrote my comments on it.

For me, I'm simply stating that I don't think the F1 girl would like a picture that is painting Tim in a negative light by Lisa stating she doges a bullet.

All is good Ash....I responded to you because of my first sentence.....I should have made two different posts so I am sorry...but my thoughts still remain the same to all posters not just you....(Note which I am included in that statement)

This is Tim's love story not the girls' love story. Tim is the lead and thus, all sleuthing is done on my part in regards to him.

Because this is Tim's love story and his journey, and since I am Team Tim, my comments regarding both Lisa's 'dodged bullet' post and Trish liking that post are from that perspective.  I would view it the same if April, Sachelle or anyone else posted or liked a 'dodged bullet' reference to Tim.

For either girl to post or like 'dodged bullet' casts Tim in negative light and is not a positive reflection on Tim. Is it an accurate one? We will see. But one has to actually read into the phrase 'dodged bullet' to try to make it positive, because it is not, imo.

No man would like to be considered a dodged bullet and no man aspires to be one, thus it is a negative connotation, imo. I have yet to hear someone say that being considered a 'dodged bullet' is a positive thing?

That is an interesting perspective to the phrase 'dodged a bullet'. I have never known that phrase to mean many things save one: that a bullet is something negative and one dodged the negative thing.

But, it is certainly possible that bullets can be seen positively? That would be my opinion that it could be a positive bullet. The phrase, however, is not my opinion just what it is defined to be as "If someone has dodged a bullet, they have successfully avoided a very serious problem" (not my words but the definition of 'dodged a bullet')

"Hell hath no fury like a woman (who thinks she's been) scorned" ... true story

you got me curious, I searched the definition on wiki:

Verb

dodge a bullet

(idiomatic) To have a narrow escape; to avoid injury, disaster, or some other undesirable situation

This is very valid Ash. It demonstrates a negative thought pattern followed up by the sharing of those thoughts on the World Wide Web. We are here to sleuth and speculate. Sleuthing out something that reflects poorly on one girl or the other is expected. I agree with your interpretation that this is a negative action on Trisha's part. This is not Trisha bashing. It is a fair and accurate interpretation, IMO. Actually getting hit by the bullet is not positive.
