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

^^thats a good point. I guess it's hard to really know until you see their interaction on-screen. Caila seems the most interesting to me, so I hope that she isn't a default! Jmo.

I agree and am hoping some pics leak from JoJo and Caila's HTD. I think it is likely Caila got her first 1--on-1 or second 1-on-1 in episode 6 so she wouldn't have those individual dates in episode 7.

Would everyone in the top 9 (epsiode 6) have gotten at least one 1on1? Has that been the case in usual seasons? Cause if there's on girl who doesn't usually get a 1on1, then I'm good with it being Leah. 

There are quite a few times that the f1 has not gotten a one on one in Ep7. It has more to do with the rotation than it does with who the lead likes best.

Aunties_Love has excellent stats posted.

The only recent season where the F1 did not get the ep 7 (pre HTD) 1on is Seans where Catherine also got only one 1on1 date prior to HTs.

IF Ben only wants Laruen, it will make sense to me that he takes the one who has least connection to f2 to reduce the amount of heartbreak. I really really hope he eliminates Amanda after seeing her two young kids and realizes they need mommy so Amanda leaves at f4. Caila seems to have a lovely family so like someone posted up thread he possibly could have a sudden epiphany to see hiw well he can fit into her family and take Caila to f2. Don't underestimate the power of editing! If they make Caila likable, I am sure enough casual viewers will root for her.

I wonder how they are going to hide this in editing, if even the other girls can tell he's gonna choose Lauren

^^ it has happened before where the lead is a goner for one girl from early on. 2 seasons that come to mind are Ben F and Brad 2.0

Ashley H too.

I wonder if there's anyone left who Ben even likes second best? Or if he just feels pretty much the same about the rest of the women except Lauren?

In fact in older seasons where there were no spoilers, the editing had almost everyone confused right till the end.

That is what they are particularly good at.
