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

It could be she's just the frontrunner of the girls in line for the next B'ette. Anything can happen though!

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.

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

Haha, he didn't put the "if she doesn't win" qualifier this time. Those are just the names that came to
Me - I think he's done the same when Andi and Chris Soules were released.

I really don't see Jojo winning - she seems like this year's Andi to me. Someome who was always going to make it to f4 and was probably "promised" the bachelorette gig before filming even started.

Who is JoJo ?

Joelle - Jojo is her nickname, according to RS.

I don't see Emily making it much further. I also don't have much hope for the divorced single mom.

Yes, the Bachelor has NEVER picked the girl he gave the FIR to. Which sucks because Olivia was my pick for Ben. My guess is Olivia will be the F2 if JoJo is really the frontrunner for the B'ette. Anything can happen though.

Where does this scenario leave Becca? Hopefully not F1..

Yes, good point! That's why I don't think she will be the F1. With Shawn and Josh it was something like "if they're not the F1, pencil them in for the next Bachelor". Nothing like that for JoJo.

Wow. This is where this board gets confusing.

I spent a good time on the boards during Brads season because of all the discussions and outpouring of love for Bocca. Then it turned out it was a freaking dog.

And would you know it - neither does Joelle have her own thread.


So are the single moms still on the show ? If he keeps them / her around longer it would mean that he likes them right ?

There's one single mom currently still on the show. Amanda.

So, if Olivia, by statistics isn't gonna win because of the FIR, and Joelle is being painted at next ette....who's f1??

It'll be interesting to see if becca makes it to hometowns. I have a feeling Olivia (fir) and JoJo (bachelorette frontrunner, according to RS) have it in the bag for hometowns, so I guess there are two spots left. I also think Lauren, the teacher, is probably going to get a hometown date. I could see Becca, caila, Amanda (to play up the mom thing), or Leah (to play up the different religions thing) getting that. I do think the twin and Lauren b are probably going home this week.
