The Bachelor 20 - Ben Higgins - Potential Contestants - *Sleuthing - Spoilers* #2

AAL just curious, is Becca going to be your new Nick?

I'm more curious to know if Ben is drawn to taller girls (since he is so tall) or shorter ones. As a type rather than hair colour (which can be changed) or age which is more about maturity really.

Umm, whoever is taking this process seriously, and taking getting into a marriage realistically seriously, isn't just going to base their relationship off connection and chemistry. I'm sorry, but they're just not. They HAVE to think about their significant other as an individual and what they do in their day to day life. It's common sense IMO. It would be ridiculous not to think that way..

I found a super old YT video of Caila (pronounced Kayla). Her hair is mostly in her face but she's cute.

It's not like he will know whether they have their lives together based on this TV show or because of a resume list of things. And to me, having one's life together is not based on one's resume. Being a college graduate etc doesn't necessarily mean that that person is better wife material.

It's all up to Ben and what he is looking for.

Striking out Becca b/c she doesn't on paper have the same college degree or other checklist of stuff some other girls have makes little sense when it comes to this TV show. It's going to be about the connection, not what's on paper. JMO

I agree, just because one doesn't or does look good on paper for Ben may or may not be reflected in the chemistry they have or in real life actuality. IMO, waiting to see how Ben and the women get along before I get a fave happening or can see it working or not, but that's just me.

Ugh. I despise common names spelled differently just to be unique. I would never think Calia is pronounced like Kayla.

The I is in front of the L so it makes sense buy yeah, what's wrong with just 'Kayla'.

I am not sure I understand the question exactly?

I don't see the correlation between the two, other than being F2 and returnees.
I have no iron in the fire with Becca, but I don't filter her based on being a returnee since to me that is taking my eye off the ball.

I look at each person individually and not on anything else.
So far, I don't see them as the same at all... just like I don't see Ben H as Sean -- they are all individuals to me.

I just sleuth and I will sleuth the same way I sleuth Bach Aussie, Bach NZ, and Bette AU -- without filtering things through the lens of others or other info that cannot be factually proven.

It's a puzzle to me and I am just looking to find the puzzles pieces and see if they fit.
Time always makes certain the pieces that do will and the pieces that don't, won't.

Just to clarify: My favourite Bach couple ever is Art and Matty.
My favourite Bette contestant ever is Richie.
I sleuth more than just Bach/Bette US and probably post more in non-US threads than in US threads.

While it is good to know what other members think of contestants I really don't want to be baited or targeted and then see likes for the post about "is this your new Nick".

I also certainly don't want to feel like every time I post it is seen as if "Well AAL likes Nick so no wonder she is seeing things this way".

I try to give the benefit of the doubt but it feels like baiting and certainly feels like being targeted through a certain lens.

And speaking for myself, I happen to be able to sleuth and have interests in different contestants (some are disliked by the public and some are beloved by the public) and I like the fact that I can do so without being boxed into something or have my views filtered through a certain lens.

I certainly extend that courtesy to others and will always do so.

JMHOAA

I mean, she's Filipino so it might be a cultural name. It makes sense to me phonetically and is a lot less weird than AshLee or Juelia.

I'm fairly certain Calia is on the show.  Below is my current list. The one's with asterisks are those that I'm very confident about.  The others are more speculative, and in some cases have been mentioned/sleuthed already here - but need more work

Mr. Write,
Thanks for this list. It's great

I think Joelle Fletcher could be the girl that is sitting with her hand on her mouth in the airport, possible?
