Anyway, as for the “Bachelor,” filming for episode 5 is taking place in the Bahamas. For months I’ve been telling you I’d heard of places they’d be headed this season, but nothing was confirmed. Some are, some aren’t. Happens every season. Bahamas was one of four places I was told in early September about, the other three being Denver, Boston, and Miami). I thought Bahamas would be either right before hometowns or for overnights and final rose ceremony. I believe the last time this show was in the Bahamas was for DeAnna’s overnight’s and final rose ceremony. I was never able to confirm Denver or Boston, so it looks like those aren’t happening. But they’re in the Bahamas right now for episode 5. As for Miami, I’m continuing to hear they will be there at some point. They were just there two “Bachelor” seasons ago for Juan Pablo, but, it’s close to the Bahamas so it would kind of make sense if they went there next. Not sure yet, but just telling you what I’ve heard.

One thing I’ve constantly gotten asked about since telling you Becca was back on the show this season is about why I don’t think she’s gonna get picked or last that long. The emails are non stop about it so I figure it’s about time I address it. I was gonna wait until the season started, but might as well throw it out there now and then remind the majority of the readers when they come back in January. I can tell you with about as much confidence as I can without outing any sources is the reason Ben isn’t going to pick Becca is because before the season he TOLD her not to come on the show. Of course Ben had heard the rumors, and yes these two were in brief contact (nothing like Nick and Kaitlyn), but he told her not to come on the show. I was told Ben didn’t want any of Chris’ rejects and wanted his “own” season but, well, Ben doesn’t get to make those decisions. And we know she’s made it to the Bahamas by virtue of having the 1 on 1 in Vegas and not getting sent home. But always remember, this is a television show first. He told her directly not to come on and she did anyway. Whatever happens is on her since she still made the decision to appear.

Can I prove this conversation happened? Ummmm, without outing sources, no. But I think through 6 years of giving you inside information about this show and having a pretty good track record, I’d say that I have a good ear and reliable sources in terms of what goes on behind the scenes of this show. So if he told her not to come on, and we know she did, no matter how nice and charming of a girl she is and maybe they are a like two peas in a pod, I think Ben has way too much pride to pick her in the end, much less even take her to hometowns. I cannot see any way he picks a girl he told not to come on the show. Directly. She did it anyway because she obviously has an interest in him (and other factors like TV, promoting product, social media love, etc), but I can’t see him flipping on his stance at all from what I was told. We’ll see how it plays out but when I was told that from about as reliable sources as you can get, pretty much solidified to me he wouldn’t pick her in the end. Highly doubt this will get addressed on the show, and I’m sure Becca will deny this conversation ever happened. That’d be a lie. It did. I wouldn’t make something like this up, nor would I report it unless it came from a VERY reliable source. Take it for what it is. Now you know why I don’t think he’ll pick her.

They are leaving Las Vegas today and heading, well, I don’t know where they’re headed for sure. Yesterday I told you I’d heard they were going to Denver this season, which sounds logical. Last two “Bachelors” filmed an episode in their hometown, and since Nevada and Colorado are close, it would make sense if they went there next. Not sure though. It’s much easier for them not to be seen on dates in LA (since basically none got out on social media), because there’s filming all the time going on in LA, so nothing would ever seem out of the ordinary. But if they do go to Denver, I’m sure dates will get spoiled. If I get it confirmed, or see on social media they are there, I will tweet it out over the weekend."

He heard Bahamas but didn't get any firm confirmation or a when on if they were going. He was guessing it would be later in the season. Now he knows they are there because of the social media post and perhaps his own confirmation form sources.

I really wish people wouldn't put words in his mouth so often. He clearly used the words thought and not sure. He's not pretending to be right with breaking news.
