The Bachelor 20 - Ben Higgins - Scaps - Discussion - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

It may not even really be a woman behind that account. I'm not trying to put him on a pedestal or excuse everything he does. I don't give anyone a free pass even if I like them. Initially he was my least favorite contender for the lead though I've come around and he's grown on me. I just don't think this follow, intentional or not, really says much of anything about who he is as a person.

I have to admit laughing at it too when I read what the hoopla was about and even made up some of my own raunchy come backs (in my head). It's an OTT schtick. Moving on...caught me momentarily and dun.

And per Litta123

All this reminds me of the conversation that was taking place last Fall in the Becca sleuthing thread. IIRC, Dr. Chris (the dentist...don't know his last name) gave some sort of an interview (don't recall if it was in print or a snapchat/periscope). Chris was asked about Becca in regards to being a good fit for Ben. Chris said no, that Ben needed someone with an edge to her. My takeaway from that was that Ben likes a little bit of "inappropriate" humor...not judging, just trying to describe it. So whether this is an actual follow or accidental, it fits with what Chris said...nbd to me. 

These are my recollections...scmiiw.

For me, the fact that Ben would pursue Kaitlyn, even for a "promised" Bachelor gig, is enough reason not to put him on a pedestal. 

I think there is probably a lot there we, the viewer, don't get to see and don't know about cast. I disagree with the poster who said we get to know these people. Uh no. We get to see a 2 dimensional representation of the role TPTB casts the person in and wants portrayed. JMOAA This has been my first hand experience when talking to past cast from the show and friends/family.

If he follows this raunchy account, but claims to be a devout Christian, the two don't go hand-in-hand. People are watching him very closely. Do his actions match his words and vice versa? Jmo.

I am very religious, but it doesn't mean I do t laugh at some raunchiness. He's a 26 year old guy with a sense of humor. Doesn't mean he cannot be a devout Chtistian.

nutty can you check your pm , I need your help .

It's a parody account, and I scrolled through it and it's actually pretty funny. It's not like he's following legitimate porn accounts or anything, so it's not really a big deal IMO.

Ben has never claimed to be perfect and genuinely seems uncomfortable with the perfect Ben campaign. That doesn't mean he can't want a Christian woman. Heck some of the stuff Becca posts is a little on edge too.

I am okay with flaws, they make us interesting. For me it is not being genuine to who you are that bugs me. JPG was actually a favorite for me, I prefer the honest I like you a lot/ te quiero to will you be my fiancé until I don't need votes on DWTS anymore. So I will be watching to see if Ben seems to be genuine. And yes even an engagement as dating can be genuine if you like the person and really want to try a relationship with them. JMO.

Why anyone would put a reality tv contestant on a pedestal is beyond me.

I really liked Ben on Jimmy Kimmel. I hope TPTB let us see that side of him.

I'm very curious about these caps. I think they go together based on Ben's outfit (ignore the coloring as I played with the exposure and whatnot to get some clarity). Due to the length of Ben's hair, I'm thinking this is a RC well into filming, perhaps even the FD/F3 RC. Looking at the filming schedule, it does not appear that we know the location of the F4 RC, so possibly that one. Going from memory, the second cap is from the preview when Ben tells presumably CH that he can't do this right now. I've blown up the chair back to see if anyone can identify the location based on furniture. I'm very curious as to what has Ben so upset. He appears to be on the verge of crying to my eye. Throwing this out for anyone interested in doing some old fashioned sleuthing.

Good stuff Litta, thanks so much!

If it's from the F4 RC then I can see why he'd be pretty torn up. Not fun to send a woman packing just after meeting her kids. He must've felt pretty awful about it.

He WAS crying. It's visible in his voice and his eyes were really watery.

That haircut IS doing us some good after all
