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

But according to RS hers is second, which means they're flying to Texas, California or Oregon first and then going back, which doesn't make a ton of sense.

They could fly to Dallas quickly as that is closer for JoJo's HTD.  Wouldn't the first HTD be today?  Thursday=Travel, Friday=Caila HTD, Cleveland, OH.  Then travel to 3rd HTD destination.

Also, based on past seasons and sleuthing the F1, does the order of the filming make a difference or the length of the date?

So at this point, put Lauren as your final 1, and the rest of the order doesn’t really matter all that much. It would be a MAJOR upset at this point if Ben doesn’t pick Lauren from everything I’m hearing. And since I hear that JoJo is a really good candidate for next “Bachelorette,” I’d say she’s probably gonna finish third. Remember, no “Bachelorette” besides Trista finished 2nd on her season. DeAnna doesn’t count. I’m talking someone who got dumped in the end in favor of someone else. And every “Bachelorette” they’ve chosen in 11 seasons has finished in the top 4 of her “Bachelor” season. So who finishes 2nd and 4th between Caila and Amanda is a coin flip. I’ll go with Caila at this point. So I say Amanda goes home next, JoJo gets eliminated after overnights, with Caila and Lauren as your final 2, and he’ll pick Lauren. Obviously subject to change, but from what I’ve been hearing, he’s been all about Lauren since probably halfway through filming, and everyone can see it. We’ll see how it all plays out.

Now, as promised, I said I would give you my “prediction” of how I thought it would shake out once the final 4 was established. Granted, I thought Becca would be in the final 4 over Caila so I was wrong there, but that really doesn’t change much. From everything I’ve heard, this season has essentially been over since about halfway through. By all accounts, Ben has been pretty clear about wanting Lauren in the end, so much so that it’s apparently become obvious to the rest of the group, which in turn hasn’t made some real happy.

This was what RS said about Lauren. I posted it in her thread too. Apparently Ben has made it too obvious.
