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

I've been knid of playing around in Photoshop with the rear window of the limo SC as seen in this preview:

I couldn't exactly get the same effect as seen in the original SC - it always looked less rounded and "head like" and more like some sort of rectangular - like some sort of a headrest - or a media player or something on the rear window shelf. Here's what I got - without and then with brightening:


My SC

I did notice if I started "pixel peeping" that the shape changed a little bit as I applied brightening effects - so there may be some artifacts introduced as you play with the brightness and the particular software may change the way things look when you apply effects - that's why I've included the original image as well.

ETA: bringing it over.

Doesn't that look like a puppy looking out the back? Where's the toast of the Virgin Mary?

I see Bens face.  I don't think we can se into the limo at all with those tinted windows and that angle.

Hahahaha..... I love all the ideas of what's in the rear window.   I see a polar bear cub peeking out of the back window......which is really odd since they are in Jamaica.  Wut??  

Thanks for the laughs everyone.  Puppies, Ground Hogs, Dead People, Etc Etc....  

On a more serious note.  I do think it is someones head we are seeing inside the Limo on the right hand side.  IMO it is not all reflection.  If you look on the left hand side of the window you can see through the rear and side windows and see the trunk of the palm tree and bushes outside the limo on the left hand side. Maybe the person is like my Mom always said she was when I was a kid and has "eyes in the back of her head."

To me it looks like a reflection off the car and looks like a tire of a car jmo

I think it's just a reflection. There are usually a bunch of people involved in the filming.

I showed my hubby the comparison of the reflection and the groundhog last night and he cracked up so much . Now he knows why I'm on this site so much. It's fun, interesting and insightful. I can't stress how much he laughed about the groundhog and the Mary/Jesus toast comments!

Here are some new shots from the FRC so we can compare lighting etc.







All are my sc's.

Thanks, Diana.  Lighting would suggest that Lauren came last.

Given how well-versed JoJo is about the franchise, I'm guessing she knew going to meet Ben in the early afternoon was the kiss of death.

Just once, I wish the F2 at the FRC would be like, "It's too early in the day for me to be here, I know you're going to dump me. So bye now." and then just leave

That would be amazing because it would show a lot more self-respect and show that these women aren't just products of the show but real people

I believe I read afterward that Chantal did have that moment of realization as she approached Brad... it was too early.

ITA with the above comments on arrival times as seen in these latest SC from last night's preview. The angle of the shadows tells a pretty conclusive tale to me about who is first and who is last to the FRC.

I don't see JoJo doing that exactly - she may have too much to lose by not playing along with how the show wants it done.

IIRC you may be right about Chantal; but there's not been anyone that I can think of who knows more about how realty TV and this franchise works than JoJo. If not before, then I think upon arrival JoJo would have known she's F2.

When JoJo said ILY to Ben and he responded with the same ILY, she was probably thinking, wait,
