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.

This too. It puts her motives into question even more IMO.

I wonder what Tenley will think.

When it comes to Ben H, I think a lot of the girls were/are very desperate to have a chance with him.

CH did say that there were a record amount of past contestants wanting to come back on.

IA with GA. I think they asked Ben which one out of possible past contestants he wanted and Becca was the one selected.

If it's simply a money issue(getting facetime=more prospective jobs) or part of a good storyboard, perhaps Jared is aware and doesn't care.

The bottom line is that she likes Ben. Okay, that's a lie. She REALLY, REALLY likes Ben. To my knowledge, they have not spoken, and I know for a fact that they haven't hung out. Ben has a lot of characteristics that she is looking for. She is looking for a gentleman. Yes, he's a good-looking guy, but Becca cares much more about personality than looks. She would date an "average" or "slightly below average" guy that treated her well and had a great personality over a gorgeous guy that didn't have as much substance. Easily. She has gone on dates (not bf/gf) with "average" looking guys with great personalities and turned down really good-looking ones that didn't have much substance.

Another thing, Ben has a strong faith. That is EXTREMELY important to her. I wouldn't quite classify it as a make or break, especially considering that Chris didn't come off as someone who is very faithful, even though he will go to Church with his family. That is yet another reason why she really likes Ben.

^^^ I can buy it. But more importantly can we all just say Amen it's not Tenley!!

^^I can buy it too. It appears that they both have similar family values. I like the idea that she/Ben have not communicated and she comes in with no history with Ben as with the other cast members.

I am not buying what she selling.... Seems desperate if they haven't even spoken or met.

Let's be clear. rammerjammer carefully stated that she did not "think" they had talked (maybe she said spoken), and was confident they had not met. Fair enough. That leaves open the possibilities of texting and messaging in some form to some degree, which is not technically "talking".

Whether they have texted or spoken (on the phone), I can't confirm 100%. I have been told by one of my little birdies that they haven't (to her knowledge), but there's no way to confirm that without looking at Becca's phone records. I can confirm 100% that they haven't met up and hung out.

I like that they haven't spoken or met. I hated that about Nick/Kaitlyn. Such an obvious advantage. I'd be more annoyed if it were Tenley.

Becca's return does not surprise me at all.  What would have surprised me was if she did not return.  I don't believe for one second that she and Ben have not had some kind of communication. She probably met him the weekend she stayed with Kaitlyn in LA for The Men Tell All.  Becca has been crushing on Ben all through Kaitlyn's season.  I said that when Ben, Kaitlyn and Shawn talked about BBQing together as couples that we should just add Becca to the mix.  I believe that the Christian beliefs will be a point of commonality for sure.  To me Ben seems much more down to earth than Becca.  Ben strikes me as someone who will not be into a life after the Bachelor gig as another has been on the celebrity D list.  I think he (TPTB) will keep Becca around for awhile but I will be surprised if she is the F1.

It is possible that they met but Ben hung out with Tenley and Ashley I the weekend of MTA. No Becca in sight from what we've seen.
