The Bachelor 20 - Ben Higgins - NO SPOILERS - Discussion

Katiebelle wrote:@nothatgirl

Yeah I'll admit that I wasn't that impressed with JoJo this week. I'm hoping she'll come across better on her date with Ben as she was one of my early faves. She really had me at the unicorn!

I thought the unicorn gimic and the guessing game was original and smart. But her attitude last week turned me off on her too. Poor Ben.

I'm going to try to watch the Bachelorette unspoiled this summer, because it seems like so much more fun this way!

It's actually pretty easy to stay unspoiled as I'm on the other side of the world and the Bach franchise is not a big deal so there's nothing in the media.

However, I do worry when I'm "unspoiled" that I'll say something that is way off base and all the posters in the "know" are thinking "what the h#ll is talking about!"

Have the top 4 been sleuthed yet?

NO, no, no. I'm spoiled but LOVE reading the discussion by the unspoiled posters. No such thing imo as being way off base and speaking for myself as one "in the know", I NEVER think "what the h*ll is talking about. " I SO enjoy the perspective of the unspoiled.

PLEASE keep posting

Yes I'm hoping to see that fun quirky side to her again. We know that they have great chemistry but it'll be interesting to also see how they converse on a deeper level - and you can only really do that on a date not at a cocktail party.

Me too!! everyone!

A reminder for those who are are rooting in our unspoiled thread. Unless you are truly unspoiled, you really aren't aware of what the slightest comment you may make is really spoiling. Therefore, continue with your thoughts and praise however, think before you type, and read your post before sending, please.

For those who are not spoiled, no worries, anyone post a spoiler in here will automatically get a three day ban.

I'm so glad to see other's posting in here!!! It really is a lot of fun!

ETA: If it hasn't aired, it's a spoiler. No mentioning of articles SM etc, unless a non spoiled poster brings it forward.

I love it here too and love reading, but too scared to type anything in case!

Same for me- I'm afraid I'll slip so I avoid commenting

@Linds911 @guardianangel @sophienette @KB_Mom

I'm glad y'all are enjoying the banter and discussion here. Your words of encouragement validate the effort to stay unspoiled brats. That makes it that much more fun to anticipate the next episodes with @katiebelle.

Have to say this is the 1st season I really have done the spoiled thing. I think it's more fun to be unspoiled at times. Have to decide week to week that way who I like. And Kept I love your name there very southern!

@realme Thank you.
Grits does mean Gal Raised In The South. My south went from east coast to west and back.
Kept is because 32 yrs ago I married a true gentleman who spoils me rotten and I keep his life interesting. So he's "kept" me.

Speaking of my gent. He finally had a chance to set down last pm and watch episode 3. His observation of Lace was the same as all of ours. "WOW! did not see that coming"

He also expressed concern for Jubilee being a target not only for the girls, but also for tptb. If they did a season for her, would they treat her loss and experiences with respect? Actually produce a solid love story? Or just milk it for drama and tears.... sad thought to consider.

^ I share the concern about how TPTB would manipulate (more than the "usual" manipulation) Jubilee's very sad backstory. Doubt it would be with the respect it deserves. So while early on, Jubilee was on my wish list for next lead, after last epi, I am now hoping they either don't even consider her or she flat out says no. I think I would really enjoy her as lead, but knowing what TPTB would do to her, my stomach couldn't take it

I find Ben to be rather refreshing. He comes across as so earnest, patient and vulnerable. I am a bit out of touch with the show so I hope that he is for real and it's not an act.

It has been a few years since I have watched but I am really enjoying the season and even find the silly after show to be mostly amusing.
