Becca Tilly - Bachelor 20 - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

I don't know.. I thought it was up there with the memorable worst HTD. Sister implies contestant is frigid, or dad gives contestant a nose adjustment thingy or mom has a bird funeral, or dad has a basement full of stuffed dead animals. Not exactly a club you want to join.  

But it's kinda their fault though? I think they are probably upset because it appeared they were throwing Becca under the bus but they were just being honest.

I also think it gets hard, because EVERY piece of information we have of something happening off-screen comes from an unnamed source. We don't even know if Becca DID get to speak to her family...we just have a "very reliable" source saying she did. We haven't literally seen her call them or seen phone bills. RS said his source that said about Ben telling her not to come was "very reliable" too. Do we just accept something as fact because it comes from a poster here, instead of RS, even though most people have gotten bad information at some time or another? Why is that allowed to be expressed as "I know this to be true" (no IMO included), but BH can't use "fact"? It just all seems very inconsistent and confusing to me.

(all imo)

Here is an example of what we are suppose to say in the future regarding this. If I personally think it is Becca at the airport, and someone else believes RS, we don't say "That's Becca at the airport" We say "According to RS that's Becca at the airport." Becasue when I read "That's Becca at the airport" I want proof of that.

If RS or anyone else says "Ben told Becca not to come on the show". I want proof of that, because personally, I don't believe it, so until I have proof, I won't believe it and as a reader it's annoying to read "So and So said Ben told Becca not to come" without proof. It should be "According to RS" or "According to the People link" or "According to so and so's reliable source"

If Kasha said "Family called Becca", whether I believe it or not, we say, "According to Kasha's reliable source, Becca called family." I think there are posts that are just plain sloppy and lazy. We need to expand in detail because if I see someone say "RS says it's Becca at the airport", I'm going to say how does RS KNOW it's Becca?

Also, posts have been deleted. We don't tell ANYONE what they should do, what they should stop doing or what they should post. If anyone wants to post 80 pages and 10 threads of Becca, they are welcome to do so.

IA, totally the sister's own fault. I'm not sure her sister really can know if Becca wants to be intimate with a man, that is so personal, but even if it's true, it's not a conversation she should have had on camera. It's not even her place to discuss that with Becca's boyfriends off camera imo. I'm sure Catherine's sisters were being honest too, but we didn't really need to know that she's a slob who throws her clothes everywhere. Maybe it's just me, but I'd keep it positive.

So, am I understanding correctly that Becca gets a HTD?

No. that is speculation.

^^ Ah, thanks!

I really need to see the chemistry or lack thereof with my own eyes to properly guess the final four with the info we have right now. IMO he has a good group of women who on paper look like good potential matches. As much as I love Becca and think she would be a great match for Ben, I want to see with my own eyes if they have good chemistry together! When does The Bachelor start airing? January?

^^ I agree with this!

Very true. Remember how during Andi's pre-season sleuthing, many people thought that Marcus was her real F2 and Nick was just F2 as "default"? Sometimes, people who seem to match on paper don't work IRL (and vice versa). I wish we could get pics of something like Kaitlyn/Shawn's piggyback or Sean/Cat's Seattle hometown date, so I could get a better sense of Ben's chemistry with the girls! A lot of predictions that are being made are off of what RS and RJ are saying and they could definitely be off.

(jmo)

IMO my thoughts are being made simply from the info that has been sleuthed from bio's or blogs. That tells me a lot more coming from the horses mouth, rather than speculation from someone who heard from a friend of a friend of a friend who works with a friend. It's far to early to really to tell IMO.
