The Bachelor 20 - Ben Higgins - NO SPOILERS - Discussion

@sprite
Thank you.

As I recall Lace was in real estate in Denver CO. Sounds like she is not as crazy as she was edited, though drinking would add that. Glad to know she is working on things for herself and not allowing herself to be used.

Not getting spoiled. This season is a good one so far and is holding my interest. Which is not the norm. I really do get tired of all the ridiculousness that goes on. Wish they'd just be realistic, dig deeper into who these girls are. Over the top dates would be fine, but interactions need serious help.

In the previews for next week, my  thought was....panic attack in a red superwoman cape... now that's an oxymoron.

Wow so glad someone saw that preview the same as I did. LOL

@realme Thank you. It's fun to watch these youngsters with an older,(wiser?) perspective.

Hi I saw it too and thought that's a sign of delusion.

Does Olivia really think he's only interested in her and all these other women are just decorations? What does she think they have all done on their dates with him? Hold hands and go to church?

When women are like this on this show, blowing things out of proportion and seeing things that aren't really there, it makes me wonder what they are like with their relationships in real life. Are their heads stuck in the fantasy of the perfect relationship, do they take things to fast, do they get emotionally invested too quickly?

I reckon these women are like catnip for tptb!

Also - what is everyone's take on Amber?

I think she'll be out next unless she can redeem herself. I don't think that Ben liked her behaviour and with so many nicer girls (and let's face it - our vanilla Ben is looking for a nice girl) he's going to get rid of the obvious nasty ones first.

And also!

Who else is looking forward to next week to see JoJo's and Becca's dates? These girls are in my top 5 with Lauren, Jen and Jubilee.

btw - I booted Caila out of my top 5 as I couldn't stand all that crying - get a grip girl - it's only going to get harder.

I think part of that was producer induced and partly Amber not liking that most fans forgot who she is. So take matters to a dramatic mean level and get attention. Ben was not happy and I HOPE she's gone next week. She is definitely not what he says he's looking for.

I decided to play the week to week brackets game and I had Amber gone LAST week.

@katiebelle Yes O-blivion is def catnip to tptb and I am even more sure that she's angling for some kind of acting or other job that keeps her in front of the cameras. That obsession is an act that comes off as fake, fake, fake.

My gut instinct is that she may be trying for Bachette. Proving one can give dramatic responses on cue seems to have become a prerequisite for that.

Not sure about Becca making it to top 5, but we shall see. None of the other girls gets my vote for it. I think seeing her date and JoJo's will give better insight.

I'm curious if the twins tears in the promo mean there's a two on one date in Vegas that means one gets sent home. Letting a bf get between siblings is never a good idea.

Just wanted to pop in and say that I'm loving your guys' unspoiled discussion, critique, and predictions! I'm pretty much in agreement about everything you guys said, especially regarding Amanda, Caila, and Jubilee. I'm looking forward to seeing Becca and Jojo's dates too!

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