Luke Pell - Bachelorette 12 - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

I think it happens often that the true f2 goes home at 3 or 4, especially if they may be up for the next lead. No idea if that's what happens with Luke but at this point in the show he seems right up there.

Sounds like Luke's elimination at the HTD RC was a tough situation for JoJo and Luke based on Fleiss' tweets below.  He probably was intended to be one of her F3 but it was determined to let him go at F4 to either spare him and/or set him up for the next bachelor and his story line begins.  JMO.

Timeline for Luke's elimination:
Source:  Filming tread

HTD:  April 23
RC:   April 26
Luke's SM accounts reactivated:  April 28
Travel day for TB cast:  April 28


Fleiss' tweets the night of Luke's elimination at RC after HTD:

Aloha, Bachelor Nation...

Elan's tweet on April 28th:

IMO Elan was in transit from LAX to Texas and tweeted all day about his travels and other silly stuff so the following tweet may not be connected to the RC the night of April 26th.  JMO.

If you're cruel to anyone I love I will remember it forever and I will go very far out of my way to make your future unpleasant

I agree, and I always think of Jillian with Reid. As much as she has said it was always Ed, I don't believe for a second that she didn't rethink it when Reid came back at the FRC.

Luke and Jordan aren't really friends are they?
