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

AllAboutLove wrote:Yup, Ben spun his wheels when he had zero interest in his roommate's girl yet played the game, etc, etc. He wasn't "honest" at all about that then, imo, but seems to get accolades for his pretense. If Ben himself was a return contestant on another Bette season I think he would get the same backlash but because he is lead he bypasses that.

As for Becca and what she said about CS it seems she was just being honest but should have just "pretended". And the thing is just because she said that then doesn't mean it should apply for this season or lead - totally different person and no one falls in love because of a timeline anyway (it can be instant or take time) - something she may have realized post-last season. I just don't see her one time statement at an ATFR where it is meaningless what is said on that show, IMO, should be taken to reflect her perspective now.

Funny thing is, if she had been spinning her wheels like Ben perhaps she would have been the Bette if she was let go at F3 instead since she was so on the fence during FDs. Who knows. It's all speculation. But what I have noticed is that Becca is likely to be one of the most well-received/well-liked returnees based on early overall SM responses. Many comments wishing she will win and even those saying they hate returnees but love her. While I don't consider myself a fan or hers I don't dislike her either and couldn't care less about her being on Farmer Douche's season or Ben's season. Who knows, I actually might like her more on Ben's season than the other girls. TWT

Becca didn't fall in love with Chris and was honest about it and spoke about it since it was addressed by CH at ATFR. Since then I don't remember her going on and on about it and she is on the show same amount as Ben (different "roles" for sure though). Ben didn't fall in love on his season either but is back for more too and he stayed on the show just to be lead IMO and was the most obvious "I am here to be the next lead" contestant in my recent watching. I really don't see Becca going on the show or whatever else as such a horrible thing deserving of such dislike. She is as honest as any of the other girls going on this show. jmo

I don't have a problem with Becca not falling in love with Chris.

I don't have a problem with Ben not falling in love with Kaitlyn.

I guess the difference for me is that Ben didn't say that the process of the show was too fast for him. He kept his trap shut, smiled prettily and graciously accepted the lead role. She on the other hand did...and then came back again. I don't care that she said she came for Ben, because that is basically what she said about Chris as well. Now we come to hear that she is willing to come back again as the Bette...not that I ever expected anything different. I will be curious to see how she will try to justify that.

Yeah, the only difference is that Ben pretended to be in love, when he clearly wasn't, while Becca stayed honest despite everyone and their mom (literally) pressuring her. I give Becca far more credit. If she thought she could have anything with Ben, then why not go meet him when she had the chance? I don't believe many of these people actually fall in love. They fall in love with love at best, they're just willing to exaggerate their feelings for the show and the ring. Then they break up a few months later because it was never love. Becca is nothing out of the ordinary, just honest to the point of foolishness. She took herself out of the running for the lead role last time with her persistent honesty. I guess I just can't fault someone for that. I don't need to see fake love to enjoy the show.

Don't most of them say that, despite not knowing anything about the lead apart from a TV edit? Becca at least had some additional info and might've even been talking to him a bit.

They talked before he left for filming. I get the feeling that their conversations were more than a simple "Hi. I'm (insert name here)," like RS is insinuating.

Ok, so RS is saying they spoke briefly and he told her not to come on the show...but now you're saying they spoke more, but he never said that..? **edited** Does she care that people are "leaking" her business?
