She just seems to fit the mold really well, seems the most popular,  and the whole "has her guards up, ends up falling in love and then gets heartbroken" seems like the typical Bachelor/ette-storyline. Ben and Kaitlyn both had similar storylines.

I honestly don't think that being F2 is as big of a deal breaker as RS makes it out to be, since they tried so hard to get Chantal to do it. Other than her, there really hasn't been a F2 that outshined the F3/F4.  They even signed a contract with Becca to do it last year, so if she had been popular enough, she would have gotten it. All they would have to do is not announce Bachelorette on AFTR, not have F2 talk to the lead at ATFR (like Lindzi and Clare), and/or push back filming a week. None of that seems like a true obstacle to me.

Caila is probably gonna have the same storyline though (falling in love/getting heartbroken.) They all do. I definitely think she's one of their options.. I'm just not convinced she's their first option..

And, they did want Chantal so I think they would go after a f2 if she were popular enough and/or the storyline was there. I didn't say Jojo's storyline would be "heartbroken", but "letting her gaurds down only to get heartbroken again"; that, IMO, has typically been a future lead storyline. There have also been f2s that weren't hearbroken, like Becca.

I also did notice that Caila has the fewest followers among the f4 despite having the most screentime so far. Maybe things will change, but in the past, they've usually gone with the person who has the most or second most followers. JMO.

Wait until F4/F3.. that's when you can tell who the audience loves/wants as the next 'ette.

Even then.. Des got the 'ette over AshLee. I think the next 'ette will be popular, but not necessarily the most popular.

Did Ashlee have more followers than Des at the time? That's really surprising! I didn't follow SM that season, but I remember on after buzz, they talked about how Lesley had more followers than Des, which was really suprising to me. I know that Britt also had more IG followers than Kaitlyn at one point.

I agree that at F3/F4, it's going to become really obvious who the fan support is with. When Des was eliminated, people were devastated for her and with Ashlee, people just thought she was being a brat. Same with Kaitlyn vs. Britt. It will also be interesting how popularity increases or decreases as Amanda and Jojo get their 1-on-1s.

I think JoJo is more likely to get the job than Caila. She's just more relaxed on camera, more mature and sexier. I'll be surprised if they take a pass just because she's F2.
