I'm rooting for Becca but frankly since Cupcake was so negative about that pick, I don't have much hope on that front.

This is just a gut feeling, but I feel like Ben's F1 is going to disappoint a lot of people. I think that people just had REALLY high hopes for him, maybe even to the point that it was unfair. Whenever a lead has super high expectations pre-season, he or she always ends up disappointing. He's a very young guy who himself said he hasn't been in many long-term relationships. Yes, age is just a number but age brings experience, which leads to maturity. I think that the whole talking with Cassandra, Tenley, and maybe Becca before filming was kind of what made me start thinking that he's just a guy, who's getting the most female attention he's ever going to get. A lot of male leads pretty much just pick the one that's the most attractive to them and I could totally see Ben going that route. That's partly why I'm leaning towards Lauren B. We'll see!

I'm sorry if I've caused anyone disappointment. It happened just as I told it for those who asked. Litta can attest to all my "eyes on ground" missions during RFL where I came up with absolutely nothing. I really thought I finally found us a little something.

That's exactly what I'm feeling now. He's a regular guy who's picking base on hotness level. That's why I keep thinking Lauren B. because in my opinion she's one of the most attractive plus the stewardess job makes her even more appealing. Hope she has a nice personality.

Ben would have to really fall in love with this girl to take on that plus baby daddy drama.

She's my pick by far.

Her twin and her lasted way too long together to just be "producer picks" and the fact that Ben eliminated her sister in the middle of the show (likely after the 2-1 date) showed he didn't want to cause any major conflict between them if they both got too close to the end.


I'm picking her 90% based on when her sister was eliminated.

This is one of the better posts I have read today, IMOAA!! :Nod:
Why? Because this is how I am thinking and it only makes sense. Why send one twin home? Because the other had the connection and a twin will do for her twin. IDK if Emily will make it farther than F4 over anyone else but this makes the most sense to me. 
And because she is a waitress or whatever, lots of people did work like this to get to a higher rung on the ladder and anyone that has done this type of work will tell you it's hard work.
