The Bachelor 20 - Ben Higgins - Potential Contestants - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

1. Breanne Rice: 30, Seattle, WA. She is a Holistic Nutritional Therapy Practitioner. I really have no idea what that means. If you read the “About” portion on her website, Breanna's Holistic Health, you’ll see she suffers from vitiligo, a skin disease I’d never heard of until I read it. So I guess we already know what Breanne’s storyline will be this season. She’s also a contributing writer to SouthSoundMagazine.

2. Olivia Caridi: 23. Currently lives in Virginia, but originally from Austin, Tx. Graduated TCU in 2014 with a degree in Broadcast Journalism. Currently a News Anchor/Reporter for NBC affiliate WCYB in Virginia. Sister Paige plays volleyball for Dartmouth.

Here are a couple of Olivia’s work videos. I’m sure these will be taken down or set to private within hours of this posting:

I think it all depends who he feels the strongest chemistry with. I don't expect the most noble, charitable girl to necessarily get to top 2, no matter how much I would like that, unless he finds her attractive enough. His ex is very pretty but after reading her interview she was obviously wrong for him, yet he was very much in love with her. I have no expectations about F1 until I see how Ben reacts to so many beautiful women dating him.

Yeah, I think we just need to stop putting him on some type of pedestal until we actually see him in action. So far, all we know is that his ex is kind of awful, he slept with Kaitlyn (allegedly, according to two sources) even though he knew Shawn had it in the bag, and has flirted with two bachelor alum after filming. None of that makes him a bad guy, but nothing about that says he's mr. Perfect who is too good and mature for Becca. Again, I'm a fan and think he is genuinely a good guy, but I'm just not a believer of putting anyone on a pedestal. I've seen that done before and it's always a shock when the contestant/lead turns out to be a real person with flaws and all.
