Becca Tilley - Bachelor 19 - Discussion - #9

I just don't see Becca being the bachelorette unless she does a 180. She doesn't kiss guys freely and throw around ILYs, which I'm pretty sure are the requirement of the lead. I also think fatigue just sets in with returnees. I felt like most people loved kacie the first time, but on Sean's season, just wanted her to go away.

She cancelled plans with Jared IMO because she had better things going on. Remember that response with the in her tweet when someone asked her why she stood him up?

Why couldn't she go through with those plans. That would have been the right thing to do and I'll just say, I'm not so sure it was Jared who initiated those plans in the first place.

Becca sends out mixed messages, IMO.  I would hope she is as lovely and lively as her friends say she is and we see that part of her on Ben's season.  It will be interesting to see Becca in like/love and confident in her feelings towards the lead.  That said, I don't want it to become "Becca's" season  -- I want my focus on Ben and how he pursues the relationships with all the cast.

Like I said, she's a social climber and she's always looking for something better. She was never going to marry a farmer from IA and she wasn't going to date a RI restaurant manager, when someone like Ben was available. I still like her and think she and Ben could make sense, but I don't buy that she's just this innocent girl looking for love and has no ulterior motives whatsoever.

If she is looking to promote herself and earn a good salary while doing it via primetime TB and lil sis 'Ette x2, I don't see anything more wrong with it than others that have gone before her. 
This is simply the same tried and true formula they have been using for seasons, especially should she finish F3. 
As far as being an innocent girl looking for love premise--I don't think anyone buys that.

Oh boy go to work for the day and miss a ton of stuff

That same logic (which is realistic, not cynical, imo) can be applied to Ben.
It's not like he chose to be the lead only because of love.
I see them all as the same: no different or better than each other -- only some are more liked than others, that's all.

Well I'm not at all surprised. I do hope he sends her off the first night like they used to do instead of letting her stay like last season. I thought this type of show wasn't going to work for her (her words I believe). Also I wonder how many different shows they will work this "virgin" story. They did it with Ashley I and Becca on Chris's season and then with Ashley I on BIP2 and now Becca again. It's getting old.

My understanding is that she was told by production that her return was basically a done deal a day or two before she was supposed to meet up with Jared. A lot happened in those 48 hours before she was supposed to meet him.

Well, considering that even Ben H was asked if he was a virgin on K's season and got a very clean/virginal edit, then that is maybe what they are going for this season? So the opposite of K's over-sexed season?

It has already been spoiled/speculated there will be lots of Christian contestants this season so the "virgin" theme may be a part of the storyboard. After K's season, I'll take it. :Nod:

The difference between Ben and Becca (for me) is that Ben was chosen for the lead role. If Ben called up Becca mid season asking her to join, that'd be something new and different. But otherwise it just looks a little desperate. This is like Nick, Shawntel, and the rest who returned for a second chance.

She still could have met with him. How does Jared feel now, that he was suppose to meet up with her, she cancelled because she wants to be on Ben's season, who just so happens to be good friends with Jared. What was she doing crushing on Jared when she knew there was a possibility that she was going to be on another season.
