The Bachelor 20 - Ben Higgins - Scaps - NO Discussion - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

I'm going to put this here for reference and also in a discussion thread.

In the preview we saw Ben make a phone call to a woman's voice saying ^Hello^ and there's been some speculation about who Ben was talking to. Sophie posted that she analyzed the voice and concluded it was Ben's Mother, and I agree. So here's my analysis and something all of us can use to make our own conclusions.

In this audio clip

we hear a woman's voice say:

^Hello^ <> ^I wondered if they were going to make your job a tough one^

(I'm using the same method to identify an edit as above).

The word ^Hello^ came from a YouTube video of the preview (the unknown voice) and the words ^I wondered if they were going to make your job a tough one^ came from a YouTube video of Episode 1 when Ben calls his parents after meeting all the ladies and that's his mother talking.

IMO this is the same voice - and just as he called his parents after he met all the ladies, he calls them again just before he proposes to his F1.

Wow your evaluations and time spent breaking down this previews is really interesting and impressive. Thanks so much Sophie and Lucas and the rest of you that break down these clips.
