The Bachelor 20 - Ben Higgins - F1 to F4 - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

loveactually9 wrote:I'm more excited at the thought of Caila potentially being the next lead. From the short clips we have seen of her, she seems to have a super cute and fun personality. You never know...if America falls in love with her, who's to say we won't finally have a non-fully-white-girl Bachelorette? :P

we have clips of her? (i must be hiding under a rock).

and that be awesome.. if Catherine hadn't won, I would for sure wanted her as the next 'ette!

I'm not sure that the girls are really all too horribly young to be B'ette IMO. Because technically the "engagement" is really just an unspoken agreement to begin dating each other exclusively right? Since how many of us really get engaged only 8 weeks after meeting someone? . So in the real world a typical young couple would get married no earlier than 1-2 years after being in an exclusive relationship right? And two years is the longest a Bach couple can be "engaged" for before they have to give the ring back right? So that would make them 25, 26, 27 when they got married and then add 2, 3 or 4 years to that and they will be ready to start a family. It all could work IMO

I actually don't think 23 is too young to get engaged, but I worry it's too young to lead a show. You do have to be able to stand your ground with producers, handle the drama, be able to confidently do interviews with talk show hosts, be able to deal with public criticism, etc. It's a much tougher job than it looks and you do need some emotional maturity to do it. I also worry that if it's a 23 y/o, the men will all be in their mid to late 20s. Caila is the most interesting one to me, though, so I would love for her to be a fan favorite and get the gig! Jmo.

I don't usually get into too many extremes with any of these people. They don't pay me enough.

Well, thanks Kasha. It just really surprises me that as of 2 days ago, there wasn't much, then boom, overnight it's just an overwhelming amount it seems. Just baffles me is all.

Do we know this or are we just thinking this?? And if we know, how please.

It's because they are well off. Imo

Because that's where the girls/families are from.

Oh jeez. If Amanda DOES get eliminated on Wed., I really hope her hometown isn't on Tuesday.. The day after she gets elimanated?

IA it would be very hard to lead the show with all of the responsibilities that the lead position entails if they are not mature enough to handle it..... BUT I say the onus is all on TPTB to make sure they "hire" a responsible lead AND deliver a quality show. The responsibility of the viewer is to make the decision whether the value they are receiving from watching the show is worth the cost of their time and if it is not, to shut it off. This is the only way to deliver the basic message that mediocre entertainment is not acceptable that TPTB/ABC would hear imo. AJMHOAA.

Why ? She sees her kids and then she us back with them very shortly (a day or 2) after. Better that way than meeting them then not again for a couple of weeks. Unless I misunderstood ?

She doesn't strike me as someone that would be in a relationship with a software salesman. Seems like she is someone needing a bit more flash. And is she ready to settle down? JMO after the little I've seen of her.

Contestants that go on the show not open to the prospect of a relationship with the lead but want to be lead themselves turn me off. I wonder if that is her. I could be totally wrong.

If Ben knows she is not F1 I hope she is the next one to be eliminated. JMO.
