Becca Tilly - Bachelor 20 - #3 - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

I think the forehead kiss says a lot. He took Becca to play basketball, he took JoJo to make out. I still think Becca was the producers backup plan for bachelorette and Ben was simply playing along.

As for Kaitlyn's guys expressing dislike for Becca, all the Andi cronies except for Sharleen were awful about Nick. I think in general they play nice but obviously Becca hit a nerve somewhere. Since I am sick of Becca too it just makes me giggle, she wanted to be on tv again, she can suck it up just like Nick had to.

I also did think it was interesting that a twin said "I've noticed you go after the outgoing girls". I thought that too, which is why I always felt like Becca was never going to be his type. I think he was fair to everyone, but that just seems to be what he's drawn to.

I disagree. Ben hasn't even kissed Lauren B, his F1 so it is interesting to me that he hasn't yet kissed Becca and Lauren - who are more of the quieter girls in the house. I actually think the quieter girls are who Ben prefers in the end, rather than the super loud ones, since who he chose is certainly not a loud one in the house. And it looks like next episode he kisses Lauren and in previews he kisses Becca too.

This does not say "I'm not interested, please go away" either:




My SC's

Yup. IMO, Ben definitely liked Becca. Not enough for F1 but I do think he liked her.
Just because she is not liked for whatever reason doesn't make me think Ben didn't like her.
Sometimes I wish the show wasn't spoiled at all b/c I do think unspoiled viewers will think there's a connection between Becca and Ben.
I will be interested to see what the Aussie viewers think when Ben and Becca have their 1on1 date since they are usually very unspoiled.

Speaking of which, I am interested to see their 1on1 date.
I am also interested especially in seeing how Ben acts when Becca is let go at F5. I think that will be most telling.

Ben's People Blog came across like he liked Becca.
Sure he is nice about everyone, but in comparison to Olivia and what he wrote about Olivia and said about her on Bachelor Live, I think he thinks better of Becca now than he does Olivia.

That's not saying much.

I can see Jared really liking Becca and being bummed he got shafted, but if Becca liked Ben more then isn't it better that they didn't meet? Why would he want to date someone who's more into someone else? It's not like he could easily date Becca either considering they're on the opposite sides of the country. Time to get over it.

ITA. Talk about immature and fame hungry. JJ especially.  

Anyway, what kind of gentleman and father of a young daughter tweets such things? Even if JJ doesn't like Becca for whatever reason, I find it extremely immature and classless for him to be using his Twitter to throw shade her way or any woman's way for that matter. I can't stand these alums who use their SM as if they are above this stuff no matter who it is directed at. And what's the big deal of Becca blowing off Jared even if she did? Caila dumped her bf and seems like Olivia did too.

Of course, Ben likes Becca. He pretty much likes everyone, but comparing what he is saying post show vs. what he was saying during filming are two different things. He liked both at this point during filming, but wanted to make out with Olivia (and JoJo, Caila, Amanda, Jennifer and Jubilee), but apparently not Becca. He has now seen how Olivia acted during filming and has likely heard more from his F1. Ben doesn't like drama and Olivia was causing a lot of it, Becca, seemingly not so much. Doesn't surprise me that he is more positive when he now talks about Becca vs. Olivia.

It was being stated that Ben didn't like her. So great to see that it is affirmed that he did. What I am looking at is how Lauren B and Becca are both more quiet types in the house. To say Ben didn't like Becca on the show is one thing, to say Ben likes Becca just likes he likes everyone else is something else too.

IMO, Ben's actions prove he was more interested in Becca on the show than Olivia in the long run based on Olivia never getting a 1on1 date. And nope, TPTB TPTB... not going to give that any credence otherwise TPTB might as well be credited for F1 too. So just looking at Ben's own actions on the show (not VOs or ITMs or any of that which is more edited).

I saw Ben liking Becca and nothing indicating he didn't. Kissing someone is not the only indication of liking someone. Ben likes Lauren and hasn't kissed her yet and could have at CP if he so was inclined. Often time kissing is a way for the lead to fill empty space and Ben kissed other girls who go home early too.

I think Ben liked Olivia physically the most early on and that waned quickly. He especially liked Lauren B and made time for her. And I think also for JoJo he physically liked her a lot too (almost like she replaces Olivia, imo). I still see Becca ahead of Amanda and even Caila, whom I thought (even with a kiss) was friendzoned in terms of connection with Ben. Not that it really matters since he only has one F1. But I am not going to say that Ben wasn't interested in Becca or relegate his interest in her to something the equivalent of Hayley or Emily.

It will be interesting to see what happens on Becca's 1on1 and thereon afterwards.

I am sure Ben likes Becca as a friend but romantically not so much.  On AfterBuzz Nick said Ben was not attracted to Becca in that way.  It seems more like she was a producer pick.  JMO

Becca and Ashley I were hanging out with Taylor Lautner, per her SC.

Ben said Becca was "cute" when he described her in an itm. Cute. A lot of times that's what people say when they feel NOTHING physically with another person, but they're trying to be nice. At this point, already, he's said to her faces (JoJo) and in an itm (Lauren B), that he's attracted to them. That's more on the end of finding one physically appealing (sexy, alluring.) This is the obvious difference, other than the fact that it just didn't/doesn't seem like Ben cared for Becca in a romantic sense.

Do Ashley and Becca have REAL jobs anymore??

Yeah I saw the writing on the wall when he called her cute. I thought, uh oh.
