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

Yeah, better like good luck to Ben if he tries to go totally rogue. (which I can't see)

Either way he loses... Risk a bad edit or the public shaming him for dragging along the single mother.

That's why the show is not your friend. (mantra)

I have no doubt Ben will do as he's told and LIKE IT. I love Ben but no way is he a rebel in any sense of the word imo. We shall see, as always!

I really don't think he is just going along with TPTB. He got rid of Becca who, IMO, they wanted to give a HTD.

IA, plus he is not hiding his feelings for Lauren and although he is going along with the regular program, I bet he is pressing back regarding Lauren. Hopefully, they will edit the story around him and let him be happy with his F1  JMO.

Are we giving tptb too much credit for having them manipulate the contestants social media?

I recall when becca was tweeting stuff foilks speculated that she was going to be there a long time but I think (Scmiiw) that she was gone a couple of epis after?

IMO either RS is wrong and Amanda is gone or already checked out and joining the land of the living on social media.
Again tbd and that's what makes this all super curious and exciting.

Gah which totally annoys me because Amanda is the one keeping herself from her kids, not Ben. Yet Ben is going to be the one bashed if she's the F2 as if he's some horrible guy. I can hear it at the ATFR already, "Why didn't you let me go sooner????"

Maybe it was not him who wanted to "get rid" of Becca. There are many possibilities regarding her exit.

IA, I believe TPTB chose the timing of Becca's elimination and Ben went along with it but JMO and TWT.

I'm already cringing for him.
