The Bachelor 20 - Ben Higgins - General Discussion - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

I like Jojo and Olivia, so I hope they don't disappoint on the show, since it seems like they're bound to go far.

Is there any reason why RS thinks Joelle is the top candidate for next bachelorette? Is it his opinion? Or does he hear stuff?

I'm guessing he's heard stuff. In the past he's said "if they don't win, put them down for the next lead" when he released Emily Maynard, Shawn, and Josh.

Last season he said Britt and he said Cupcake or Shawn would be next bachelor. Take it with a grain of salt.

A LARGE grain of salt. It's very early.

For weeks he was saying they weren't going to choose Ben for bachelor even though he was F3.

TBF, at that point he thought Shawn didn't win.

It is early but if he's hearing that JoJo is an early candidate for the B'ette then he's probably hearing that she's not going to be the F1. I imagine Ben has a pretty good idea who he's going to pick at this point.

And all three of those people won their seasons. So is this reverse psychology? Does this mean JoJo will win?

He didn't say he's heard anything. Just to look out for her as next lead. If so though, she's most likely there until at least F3.

That's true. His decision could change though - I remember RS releasing that Ashlee was the frontrunner when Sean's season was taking place (and that seemed to be true before the FS judging from his book) and that obviously didn't happen.

I don't see Joelle being F1, though. I see Ben ending up with someone a bit more like caila or Lauren, the teacher. More cute, girl-next-door type.

His exact words were: "And if you're looking for an early candidate for next bachelorette.....". He didn't say "THE early candidate". So...what does this mean?

Well, 3 girls should be eliminated tommorow. I'm more than happy with two of those three being Leah and Emily. I don't know about the third one yet.
