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

Whoever he chooses, she will be the hottest to him IMHO.

Sorry I deleted my last post.

That's true even if we don't think she is. Stunned by Olivia being gone! Like I said yesterday, just goes to show us we really don't know who the frontrunners are, and it looks like "perfect on paper" really doesn't mean a whole lot either.

I feel a shocker coming on the F1.

I can see why people are doubting this season, and Ben's pick, and feel many people are going to disappointed (because I am too at this point.) BUT, we have to remember, we don't know these girls. Just off of what we've read and maybe two minute clips have we seen anything about them. It's not just about them as an individual either. It's how they are with Ben and how Ben is with them. Yes, Ben is a guy. And we all know how guys are. But, I can't see him being blind enough to picking some Barbie doll that he only thinks is pretty... I just can't. Especially since many of us believe the man is VERY self aware. Like I said, if he picks one of the girls that don't seem to fit right with him...it's because he genuinely has something with her. We just have to wait and see.

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.

ChicagoPopcorn! IA with you. There's no reason IMO that she couldn't be the F1. She has a chance just like the remaining ones. The fact that he kept one and not the other, means something IMO.

Thank you! Bob in his season eliminated them BOTH on the same night (first episode).

The fact that Ben kept them both around at least 5+ episodes is a huge sign for me since he didn't just eliminate them both (or even one) right away or 2-3 episodes in.

I also believe based on the videos of them on that football show they have very similar personalities which really bodes well for Emily. I almost would give them both much less chances of winning if they were both still in it at F6. The fact that he eliminated one mid-way through is a great sign he didn't want anything cat-fighty happening later on.


She's my pick followed by Caila.

I hadn't originally thought of Emily as Ben's F1 but I like your systematic thinking. I can see this! :Nod: 
I was also thinking and wondering if Caila wouldn't really appeal to Ben's um er, Little Ben! 

I've only been skimming the threads so don't know much about the women and I really don't feel like I know Ben at all since he's so PC and careful in everything he says (IMO) so I have no legitimate guesses on who would suit him.

But with that said from pics and quick bios I find Amanda, Joelle and Caila grab my attention and interest more so than the others. So I'd guess with them and Becca as F4.

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.

I really like your speculation that the other twin saw a connection forming and left. If this is the case, it makes it a lot more genuine and a lot less tacky. IMO

I've known a lot of twins and have several friends who have twins. One of the worst mistakes people can do is to treat them like they are one half of the same coin. It's not fair, it's unjust and more--it's plain stupid. Twins could have a lot in common and then again, maybe not, but I have never met a twin who did not want to be his or her own person.

I think they could just be a storyline too. He had to take the other twin far enough to make her an "ex", so they'd get an awkward reunion at the HTD. But who knows, maybe they do have a good connection. Hopefully we'll get some pics to try and decipher soon.

I agree that each twin is an individual, but these twins have been selling themselves on social media as a package deal. They both dress the same, hair exactly the same, same hobbies, both together on the same season of the Bachelor. They are the ones giving us the impression that they are one and the same.

Weren't our two B'ettes last season waitresses? Hey if they were good enough to be leads, then Emily should be good enough to be the F1 too! I initially thought the twins were just a gimmick but honestly Emily has made it to the F6 and perhaps he just really likes her. Not saying she will "win" but I wouldn't be surprised if she got a HTD.

And we all should remember a "mature" 26-year-old guy is still a 26-year-old guy.

Maybe tptb want "twins" as next leads.

I don't necessarily think Lauren b'a the hottest but I think she has that tall, hot, sweet blonde look going that a lot of guys dig. I don't think it's Joelle because she's in the running for the bachelorette, IMO. I don't see Ben wanting to become a step father to two girls and dealing with ex-husband drama. I honestly don't see him with a virgin. And I still can't see it with Emily - I've been wrong before and I'll probably be wrong again, but I just don't see it. For me that leaves Lauren b and caila as the real contenders.

Let's see how wrong I am this time!
