The Bachelor 20 - Ben Higgins - F1 to F4 - *Sleuthing - Spoilers* - #2

I'm only speculating but the "never happened before" could be Ben let F2 go before FRC. Has never happened with a Bachelor before

Well the limo scene in the preview is in the same estate as the FRC so we do need to take that into account, henc emy speculations above.

Don't know how things went down, but what if the happy scene was during the photo shoot, before he had to let anyone go?

Or, they already break up the previous day and she is just saying goodbye on her way to the airport.

I just dont see him taking her all the way to FRC rejection

Or she arrives gets out of limo and tells him I am not going through this, leaving now, I know you're in love with someone else?

I agree these are plausible scenarios for the "never happened before" teaser.

I know MF has never allowed Bachelor to excuse F2 before FRC before, but Ben seems to have gone along and gave MF a season he likes, and I could see Ben "picking his battles" (ala Sean) and putting his foot down about not dragging F2 to FRC alter.

 Your possible explanations seem more plausible

When it comes to "never happened before" I will believe it when I see it.
Until then, I won't hold my breath.
I expect FRC to be the same old as usual.

They do show him full of angst, but at the FRC wider location (i.e. by the road) rather than at the FRC spot (where we only see him smiling) which is why I think F2 gets to location but no further than driveway for whatever reason.

double post *sorry*

I have a 3rd option but it's not very nice... he breaks up with her the previous night but she shows up to try and change his mind...

***Insert hiding under chair icon***

I like the one were she says goodbye and good luck, keeps F2 a possibility for Bachelorette...

Oh I see what you're saying, Sophie... that perhaps Ben lets F2 go as she gets out the limo or something?

Hmmm... if so it may have to do with not blindsiding but I find it odd still that Ben would do this in a suit that looks like FRC suit.

I wonder if he walks her back to the limo or something... interesting speculation here.

As I said, my preferred guess is she comes to FRC and breaks of with him telling him she know his heart isnt with her or something... whichould give a lo of sense to her not being blindsided

Sean walked Linsday back to her car after he let her go at the FRC. It's possible Ben did the same with JoJo. That limo appears to be facing the exit and pretty much right at it. I'm not sure JoJo's limo would drive all the way down to the exit, where Ben would stop it and tell her goodbye right there at the exit IMO.

I'm also not sure I could buy the idea that she leaves because she knows he's in love with someone else, especially if he tells her that he loves her IMO.
