Didn't Becca tweet out one time? and that was possibly to cast doubt about her being on this season. I don't really see that as a perk.

Also not seeing TPTB sparing Becca. Why spare her when they already made plans for a HTD? I think the decision was ultimately's Ben's. Sure TPTB can tell him what they want but he is that one that gets up there gives out those roses.

Never said it was a perk. Just a fact.

As for TPTB not putting a returnee through HTDs or FDs or FRC for that matter when she wouldn't be F1? Yep, that's sparing Becca, IMO. Just ask Nick and his family.

As for who made the decision? TPTB or Ben? Still sparing a non-F1 returnee, IMHO.

Returnees are not special snowflakes. Nick made it F2 because Kaitlyn liked him second best, and Becca made it to F5 likely because Ben didn't like her more than the other 4 girls.

Now I doubt she would ever publicly admit it and I wouldn't expect her too because that wouldn't fit the image she's built for herself.


All JMO as always.

The lack chemistry between Ben and Amanda from the carnival pics was obvious and Becca only getting one 1-on-1 date and no GDR's tells me he wasn't into her, especially when you compare all the 1-on-1's, GDR's and SQT the other F6 ladies got.

Her family wouldn't be spilling to RS that they were if they were only possibly coming—they've done this before. Ben knew who his F1 would be so went along with the storyboard on this because it didn't matter either way to him. As a result of RS leaking that Becca was getting a HTD and this board being notified of same before the RC, TPTB had no choice but to tell Ben to send her home or else let the media declare to the world that the show is a farce and all planned ahead. Jmo.

This is my personal take on it FWIW:
I was in contact for quite some time with someone from the Becca camp. The source was vetted in detail by myself. So I believe it was more than reliable. I am not going to go into further detail take it for what it's worth once again.
Becca and certain family were in contact during times of filming.
When things were fairly certain for HTDs, family was contacted and details and arrangements made for HTD. Family believed it was a certainty. They have been through the process in the past and believed this was more sure than the time before.
My source contacted me and gave me green light to share with this forum.
Then within hours of my posting here, RS posted on his site. (I believe it was 90 minutes)
NO ONE spilled from Becca's camp to RS. This I believe and pretty much know.
Within hours of the SM/RS reveal, HTD was yanked and Becca denied rose.
So make of it as you will.
There are various options to go with.

PS Sorry Kash for stating Becca's family spilled to RS, I thought they told both here and him. I can see know how RS just came here and ran with your credible info.

The F3 and F4 ladies are far more likely to get the gig.

"It's impossible to keep a secret when basically all of your friends and family run their mouths. The email count up to 5 now."

"Just ask her friends, family, or sisters. Keep getting emails they're telling everyone. Silly."

I was (and still am) really confused by his wording in those tweets. Why would he mention her sisters, specifically? I know "friends" can be vague, but to mention her sisters really confused me. Does anyone know if people questioned him on that via e-mail, tweets, etc., and if he followed up on any questions about that?

JMO.

Haha, exactly. There's also the traveling. If I was eliminated at the F5-F6, I would've been livid if I missed out on where they went for the FD's. Forget the lead, I just want more vacation time.
