The Bachelor 20 - Ben Higgins - NO SPOILERS - Discussion

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

Welcome to the "unspoiled" brats

It's a lot of fun to just go episode by episode, make observations, critique, and follow gut instincts to predict. It's almost as good as opening birthday presents when we're right.

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.

Oh I completely forgot about that! Do they always get the bettes from the previous Bach? I'll be looking at their behaviour and how they present themselves quite differently now.

What kind of Bette do tptb want? The only two I see at this stage are JoJo and Becca.

Lauren - too quiet
Caila - too living in a fairytale
Olivia - too delusional
The twins- too mean
Amanda - too annoying with that voice
Jubilee - too insecure

Jen and the other Lauren don't get enough air time so probably won't make top 4. Who have I missed?

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?

Don't ever worry about what you say Kaitie. Sometimes even when I'm spoiled, I'll say something that I'm sure others think WTH is she talking about.

Yes, top four has been sleuthed.

@katiebelle If they have been, it would be on the sleuthed / spoiled forum threads. I personally don't want to know. It's more fun being BRATS
B= Bach/bette
R= rants
A= agreements
T= trensetters
S= socializing

Don't worry about what anyone thinks but the moderators. Let's have fun.

Usually they do go with a bachelorette from the previous season! I think the only time they didn't was with Emily Maynard who was from two seasons ago. I think that they are pretty flexible in what they want for a lead. Emily was the sweet, quiet, single mother southern belle whereas Kaitlyn was the super outspoken, funny, crass, rapping girl. I mostly agree with you about your critiques for the potential bachelorette picks...but I'll admit, I'm not really loving Becca or Jojo either! That's why I'm excited to see more of them on their dates next week to see if they can turn me around.

And, trust me, I never think "wth" when I read your posts! Usually I'm just in awe **edited**

:cutesmile!: knowing that... I think Caila as next Bachette, unless she turns out to be #2. Then maybe Becca, Amber or since Jubilee had a sad story to pull at our heart strings????

But if anyone really knows...PLEASE DON'T Tell me.

@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!
