Lauren Bushnell - Bachelor 20 - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

Yeah every major US airline flies in and out of Denver. Frontier is based there. If she wanted to, transferring to have a different base or to a different airline probably would be easier than many other job transfers.

Her page's up!

Aww I agree. I'm giving her, Caila and the rest of the women the benefit of the doubt.

I know it seems irrelevant now, but seriously, she was on IG for one day. Most of the girls may need time to find her, etc.

BTW, I really identified Emily O, since we both studied stroke for our PhDs, and I still thought she was a lying ninny for not admitting to Courtney that she was talking about her behind her back. I was also pissed at CH for not calling Emily out on this behavior. Courtney was a royal B, but it wasn't like the other girls were honest about things, instead they played the talk about her behind her back game. That would get on my nerves too.

Except for Kelsey very few of the "villains" have been villainous to me, but rather the object of other people's jealousy. JMO.

Joelle isn't following any of the girls from this season and only 2 or 3 of them are following her. Are people going to start assuming that she's the villain now?

^^actually most of them are following her even though she hasn't followed any of them

Not even a snapchat like K/S will stop a case from being made.
I guess I care more for whether the lead/F1 relationship will last than if it is spoiled or believed or not believed.
If it doesn't, then it will just end up being like 18 of the other leads' seasons so ultimately meaningless to me no matter the edit or Perfect Ben/Ten.

I think K/S snapchat stopped most. I can't speak for others, but figuring out the F1 is my favorite part of the show. It's so disappointing that TBTP put so little effort into hiding it now and that the contestants and their families give it away on SM.

I agree it was the fun, my hope is that with the lack of trying to hide the F1 maybe, just maybe they might show us a love story? Maybe? Yeah, who I am kidding MF doesn't understand what a love story is.

yeah.. instead of trying to hide the F1 during filming and on SM, they rely on editing to create some doubt, which means we get neither. Although in Chris S season he himself created the doubt for me. He just didn't seem that into Whitney. If you assume that Whit wasn't his F1 at the time of the mural date, TPTB were putting a little effort into throwing us off. I wanted to believe that they were trying the same again, but if Ben's extended family is following Lauren, the most obvious conclusion is all there is. I have no opinion on Caila or Lauren yet, so maybe I'll enjoy it once it starts. It was only Matilda for Art and it turned out to be one of my favorite Bach seasons, so I'll hope for that with Ben and Lauren.

I feel like they don't try to hide the F1 anymore. Nikki, Josh, Whitney, and Shawn were all very obvious F1s both on-screen and off. It was usually the lead who did something to screw it up, honestly, like sleep with someone else, be a jerk, or treat their F1 like crap. I can't blame TPTB for that. Brad was smitten by day one with Emily and although they tried to distract us by focusing on Chantal/Brad's physical chemistry, the skeevy-ness of the recent seasons wasn't there because Brad didn't do anything majorly stupid. Which is why I think it'll come down to how Ben handles everything. JMO.

^^^ I agree with all the comments and it is too bad that TPTB don't even care anymore except for all the drama and ratings. I still enjoy the show and hope Ben and Lauren are happy.

Whitney wasn't obvious to me because he ran off with Britt right in front of her and was pretty much pleading with Becca to come around imo. I agreed on Josh until Nick and his father purposely gave us the word (crunchy peanut butter) that we had asked them for. They clearly don't get this whole sleuthing thing, but whatever. Brad gave us an epic clue with Ricki's drawing on the frig. That's the best example of sleuthing the F1 I can think of. (MiniDiva) Des and Chris intentionally gave us little clues, but no slips or slam dunks... just lots of little stuff to add up. I want more of that.

I think after 20 seasons TPTB realize that ratings are not impacted at all by spoilers. There's even been research showing how spoilers (for TV shows, movies, etc) actually increase viewership.

But yeah, it's a bummer for sleuthing. It's why I watch the US shows for the show itself and sleuth old-school way for the international shows. Currently there are 4 upcoming seasons next year: Bach Aussie S4, Bette Aussie S2, Bach New Zealand S2, and Bette Canada S1 and threads for each in the international thread. What I love about these shows, aside from being able to sleuth with no RS and limited SM (since one usually only knows the lead/contestants after filming wraps) is that they show the love story much more than the US versions (and Bach NZ and AU there's no engagement).

As for Lauren... I just hope that if she is F1 as expected that she and Ben last and it's not just another dating engagement that ends in a breakup. After so many seasons it would be nice if a Bachelor lead and his F1 have the wedding like Sean/Cat.
