Ben Higgins - Bachelorette 11 - *Spoilers - Sleuthing* - Discussion

I think this is an important clue that may eliminate him from F1 as well.

Didn't this happen on a previous Ette season? Where one of the f2 didn't watch something the Ette was on? Almost positive that Ben didn't watch something Ash was on. IA, it's a clue.

is there any way we can find out if the concert was sold out or he'd have been able to buy a ticket after he got back? based on the fact that he was gone for 6 weeks I doubt he'd have been making concert plans this far in advance given the many obligations for the show and then the potential relationship etc. too many things up in the air for him to predict where he'll be in which weekend for him to schedule time for this concert.

at least that's imho unless alan jackson is like the michael jackson of country music I doubt that much thought would go into going to the concert

IA - IMO Ben is in F3 position for possibly the next Bachelor. He has everything going for him including looks!

From what we know, I do think he could make a great TB but despite not having anything to back it up, it's stuck in my head that he is F2.

I think this is also a good clue- Not F1

Look at the pic. Any empty seats? = not sold out

I haven't seen any solid confirmation on whether it was sold out or not.  The picture looks pretty full though.  After a few searches, I found that Alan Jackson's 25th anniversary tour was announced on Oct. 20th, with tickets going on sale Oct. 25th.  So tickets could have been bought well in advance.  

And if he'd been given an estimate of how long filming would last, he could easily have known if he'd be back or if he'd need to pass his tickets on to friends, etc., depending on how early he bought them.  While I tend to think he's not F1, I'm not sure attending a concert he could have purchased tickets for well in advance would totally rule him out IMO.  He could have easily filmed the BB's to watch Kaitlyn's appearance later.  

I'm not sure he's Michael Jackson status big, but Alan Jackson is a big name with lots of hits over a long career in country music.

F3 according to RS... but apparently not being considered as the Bachelor, which is legitimately devastating to me

Oops, I thought he could be F2!  I also though he could be a TB contender like the other F2 Ben but a much better Ben to watch.

Uhm, both ICU and Serendipity said Ben's HTD was on April 28th... There was also a tweet on the 29th from someone in Winona Lake, IN talking about the Bachelor crew filming there. I believe RS has been duped. 

However, if he is right I figured with all the promotion Shawn and Chris would take precedence over Ben as next Bach. Unfortunately, Ben is probably too young which is what everyone has been thinking.  Probably for the best. He could go from being loved to being hated. He should go on with his life and never associate with this franchise again IMO.

Yes I posted in the general spoiler thread wondering why RS said Ben didn't have a HTD. Maybe they filmed Ben's intro package to be considered for TB & maybe RS is just not thinking Ben will get it due to his young age but who knows.

I wish he was being considered rather than Josh
