My take, the frontrunner they talk about won't be Olivia because Ben already knows about her " reputation" from the previous week.  It could be about  Caila and her ex boyfriend situation, but Ben already knows, so the plan failed.

The remaining women pack their swimsuits and head to the Bahamas. One lucky lady, who receives a one-on-one date to go deep sea fishing, may be smiling on the outside, but she is fearful of sharing her real feelings with Ben. Will her hesitation cost her a rose? Caila
Six excited bachelorettes travel to a deserted island to spend the day with Ben. Leah, Becca, JoJo, Lauren B, Lauren H and Amanda. If only the island’s swimming pigs didn’t suddenly show up to join in the fun! As Ben’s connection with some women becomes stronger, one bachelorette becomes very jealous and starts to question whether her relationship with the handsome Bachelor is for real. Leah At that night’s after party one nervous lady attempts to get Ben’s attention at the expense of one of the frontrunner’s reputation. Lauren H How will Ben receive that surprising news? ??
After the group date, one woman decides to sneak over to Ben’s bachelor pad for some secret one-on-one time. Leah But Ben has a surprise of his own that will leave this lady and everyone else totally stunned. Sends her home
 Finally, the dreaded two-on-one date card arrives and one overly confident woman Olivia is pitted against a sweet, naïve bachelorette. Emily The two head off with Ben to a rain-swept tropical island. Who will stay Olivia and who will leave Emily the island with the Bachelor?
Even though Ben faces some difficult decisions, he cancels the cocktail party, leaving the women anxious and unsure of their connections with him.  In the end, six women remain, who will accompany Ben to his hometown of Warsaw, IN. Lauren, JoJo, Caila, Amanda, Becca and Emily

Only GA can make new thread, I am sure she will as soon as she comes online

Ben is also wearing the nice boy shoes in every episode and conversation with the girls. Even sending Jubilee home he became the victim and JOjo had to go console him! He didnt have as much a connection with Jubilee as he was saying to her and she was perceptive enough to read that and not fall for the bullcr$p. He says the right things and it just makes the whole show fake. I prefer Bachelors that got it wrong now and again..makes them human and more relatable IMO.

I didn't see that in his spoilers unless I missed it or he updated since January. But yes it will either be Leah or Lauren H. In the preview I see two different scenes both are very dark of the girls and one girl has slightly curled hair and the other has straight hair. I am assuming Lauren H based on the background of the hotel room door with the girl with the slightly curled hair in front of it which looks more in line for what I think Bahamas would be and the surroundings of the area where a straight haired girl is shown doesn't scream Bahamas to me. I havent been shown enough of these girls especially to know who would be more likely but we shall soon see.
