They are all unspoiled, obviously more casual viewers than I am; I don't think they even know about Reality Steve! The consensus among them last week was this is Becca's to lose. My husband casually watches the show, in and out, he's also unspoiled. He has correctly called Lauren the winner, however. He also thinks she is gorgeous, so maybe that's clouding his vision.

I find this interesting. I think men are better able to read how other men respond to a woman and can tell which one they are attracted to without second guessing themselves. Does your husband know Becca from last season? Did he think she was attractive then?

I have a male friend who watches with his wife and he is unspoiled....although I have tried to teach him about how the show works to manipulate and edit. At first he though it would be Olivia based on how Ben acted the first night. (He quickly changed his mind.) He now also thinks it will be Lauren. When I asked him what he thought about Ben and Becca, he said that Ben didn't seem happy to see her when she first arrived. After their date, he said that Ben may like her but doesn't think he is really into her.

I just wonder if fans who watch the show...unspoiled...are invested in Becca, not just because they like her, but because of what happened last season with Nick?

I also think things would be different if she didnt have a rose at the time. Taking back a rose is a big deal!

I actually want someone to do this!!! You know they have wanted to. Producers that are watching here...make it happen!...and I don't mean on the first night either. It would definitely be very dramatic!!!
