The Bachelor 20 - Ben Higgins - Episode 8 - HTD - Discussion - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

Maybe the ex did not expect them to be there. Maybe he has access to her house because of the dog they share and may have been visiting for what ever reason. No?

Right... And the x pulls up and sees all these cars and camera crews etc and walks blindly in to a filming without being stopped? Uh--no,imo. Didn't happen.

I hope we get to see the pooch. They would probably love to drag a custody situation into the mix.

They needed to fan the flames and try to give Jojo a rocket boost . Maybe in their minds, help her deal with the pain of the Ex to put it behind her and commit fully to Ben. They always want a two horse race and neck and neck if possible. Ben might have been just the guy to fall for it because he took this process sooooooooo seriously. I read an article last night about Ben truly being a great guy and honest hearted . He really wants a wife out of this. Long article too. Nothing like a Fleissian Yoda mind trick to sway Ben .

Wasn't Jojo's ex dog-sitting while she was on the show? I thought I read that somewhere here. If so, it would seem that they have a good relationship.

Yesss. That dog is the cutest! I wanna see him.

So for her to see her her dog while she is there they would have had to make some contact with the ex since he was keeping the dog. Seems like a good opportunity for them to cook up a good scheme, IMO!  Also not sure where her hometown takes place as far as houses, but her parents live in Denton not Dallas. Denton is about 50 miles away. And I don't think it is at JoJo's either. I know she lives in an apartment complex not a house. That is where I send my son's rent. As I said before, she is his landlord in Waco.

Funny thing .. Small world .. Ahem..... Jake Pavelka is also from Denton

Ooo and is also in real estate. Though not through Fletcher etal.

Pretty sure Jake Pavelka claimed to be a friend of JoJo's.

They all grew up together in Denton. Jake and Ben Patton are good friends.
