Becca Tilly - Bachelor 20 - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

From what I've been told in the past TPTB contacts the family to advise of the possibility of a HTD, not the contestant themselves. They are also given the drill at that time, don't talk to anyone, don't talk to reporters etc.

There could be a variety of reasons why Becca was allowed to contact her family. She might be having a hard time. The link posted yesterday about the ladies being ticked off that Becca is there could be having an effect on her. The possibility that she is an outsider and is being given the cold shoulder. I can see this affecting Becca, especially if she wants to continue on if Ben still wants her there.

I don't see the similarity yet between Becca and Nick re SM. He had more frequent posts, and he left later. Her last tweet was 9/22nd then nothing for 22 days for someone who is usually very active. Hello? It's obvious she's not around.

I just hope she's taking her own advice, because IMO part of the reason she's there is for the drama of a returnee.

Do your best. Be happy. Be respectful. Be kind. Know that not everyone is going to like you. And be okay with that.

IMO the producers want everything to work out and would like to keep Becca there as long as Ben wants her to be. If all she needs is a phone call to home, maybe that's what is best for her situation. Since her parents are familiar with reality TV, I really don't think that they are having an issue. I would assume that they already knew what Becca was getting herself into again, so are somewhat prepared.

I'm confused, has it been proven that Becca is being allowed to call home and talk with family or is this just speculation?

I know this to be true. Not speculation.

So was she allowed to call home just once or is it a more regular thing she is allowed to do?

I don't know anymore than what I posted.

IMO, her being allowed to call home is a clue that the producers think she is going to be there awhile. Otherwise they would just make her wait until she was sent home shortly. Unless it was part of her negotiations going back on...

She shouldn't get to negotiate anything.  I wish she'd leave already.

Is this fact?
How do we know?

If we believe she was allowed to call home then we can surmise that there were negotiations imo.

It is possible that it was a "in the spot" decision made by TPTB, if she was thinking about leaving because the other girls were giving her a hard time. It's really hard to say without knowing how many times Becca has been able to call home.

(jmo)

We don't know what the reasoning was or had to do with. 
If we really want to go wild we could speculate that TPTB allowed all the women phone access. 
There is no way to know until one of the cast or production state such.
