Becca Tilly - Bachelor 20 - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

If Ben was given a choice he went with the two he felt would cause to least drama so not piss off the new girls. JMO.

What I like to keep in mind is all the pieces of the puzzle. Some fit, some don't and then sometimes pieces are there that don't even belong.
RJ, both you, and RS received much the same info. So perhaps sourcing is the same. That interests me, as his sourcing has proven in the past to bite him in the butt during the final act. Just saying be wary.  
They say it ain't over till the fat lady sings, but in the past the fat lady has simply been a skinny man having fun with people. 
Keep sleuthing!

That's what I think happened, despite what GA and Kasha have been told. I think they always try to play it off as a surprise to the lead to get a genuine reaction. And, I just really can't see Ben picking Amber and Becca out of all the other options. I just can't.

Ben's a terrible actor, so I'm sure we'll be able to figure out if he's genuinely surprised when he sees Becca and Amber on that first night.

I wish she never went on CS ' season. There, I said it.

If this is true all I can say is, Becca your desperation is showing.

So what your are saying is certain people knew about the returnees before Ben, himself? I don't buy that. I don't think I am that important to have known this before filming Meat and Geek. 
They do so many re-takes, believe me, if they could Emily to look believable, they can get a blow up or a paper doll. Ben should have no issues being able to get what TPTB desire for airing.

I really tried to give Becca the benefit of the doubt but if this is true it is just inane. Ben telling her not to come on the show is equivalent to him rejecting her privately. Now she wants to take the rejection public and have it televised for all to see?

One thing about Ben that I could see being true and being a possible explanation (though still not a very good one) is that he is too nice with telling girls that he is not interested and in being so, keeps them hanging on thinking they still have a chance. Case in point, Tenley. So maybe he wasn't as direct as he should've been with Becca and that's why she felt it was ok to do exactly what he told her not to and risk public humiliation?

Just ... The Bachelor Australia doesn't have such an elaborated production (and schemes) as US franchise ... still every bachelor got the list of "names" of all contestants they were going to meet (supposedly no photo/video, but who can vouch for sure) , since the producers want to make sure that they didn't have a "story" before ... I don't know about Ben's season and the returnees, but as a lead ... who has more "inside knowledge" of the schedule, story (since PIs, ITMs are scripted to direct the viewers where the edit is leading)  ... I would assume he knows ... since he needs to conduct a whole season ... it's his job and he can only do it knowing what's next and what are the certain "points" he has to reach by which episode.

I really don't think it is such a big deal that Becca is on this show... F1 or not.
I will await to see what actually happens before jumping on fandom-wagon or woe-is-Becca wagon.
I guess I just don't see the big deal at the end of the day... it's a TV show and Becca will be fine, IMO, no matter how it ends.
What's the worst that can happen? She gets to F2 and dumped? Been there done that and she can call Nick for some pointers.

Just to be clear, I didn't say Amber was in the mix. I said IMO she might have replaced Britt who was in the mix and didn't have any interest.

The WORST that can happen IMO is that news comes out that Ben specifically told her not to go on the show (today), she does anyway, they edit her to look desperate, she does not make it anywhere near the F2 like Nick did because she does not have the same connection with Ben, and she is embarrassed on national TV. Which of course she can certainly get over, but it's a scenario most normal people would try to avoid altogether.

Maybe her experience last season in which she did not get her heart broken but rather did the heart breaking made her think she could have just as positive an experience if not more this time around.

^ That hardly sounds like the worst thing that can happen.
Sounds like a blessing if she doesn't even get near to where Nick did.

Worst thing would be Ben did want Becca on the show, has sex/takes her virginity on the show, and then dumps her at F2.
Now that's a worst case scenario, IMHO.

Anything other than that is not even close to being the "worst", IMHO.
