Bachelor 21 - General Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

I don't think it's Wells since he's on Paradise
I think if they were really considering him he wouldn't have been on Paradise.
Also, I think all those things apply to Luke easily. Jmo.

Nice recap @pavalygurl !

I saw a photo  posted during the season of Jordan, Robby and Chase running shirtless  outside the mansion.  So, Robby and Chase do run.

But,,  The U.S. Army has devised standards for runners based on age that may offer a helpful target for running a mile.  
Ages 27 through 31
As individuals get older, their physical fitness levels tend to diminish. This is the case when the age group is looked at as a unit, but it does not pertain to individuals who may be in much better condition as they get older because they make a commitment to exercise and live a healthier lifestyle. A runner who is 27 to 31 and can run a mile in 6:39 or better is in the top 1 percent for the age group. Runners who can finish a 1-mile run in 8:56 are in the top 50 percent for the age group.

My money is on Luke for this one.

1.  Clue regarding Love at First Kiss...Wells big worry about the first kiss being special
2.  Likes sunrises better than sunsets...Wells is an early am DJ who IMHO is "very handsome"
3.  Makes a mean tuna casserole...Wells cooked for the guys on JoJo's season
4.  Runs a mile in less than 6 mins...Wells has posted about running, often seen in running gear on IG etc.  
Come on Fleiss, spill.

Pavalygurl, awesome points/reflections!  Wouldn't that just SHOCK everyone.  For me, he would be my 2nd choice as Bachelor after Luke.  
Wells is in my Top 3 faves after Luke and James.  Of course, I think there is no surprise that those 3 are incredibly close and hang out quite a bit post-show.  I found it interesting that in US Weekly magazine's most recent article on Bach lead, it mentioned Wells as one of the 3 that show had on "back-up" if there was a "snag" with Luke's contract, according to their "exclusive source".

I would sincerely be very happy if Wells were the lead and wish they would give it to Wells.  I just think producers and many viewers would not find him to have the physical attributes that the Bachelors usually have in history of the show.  While IMO, he is very handsome, he is quite a bit thinner than any of the Bachelors I remember.  Also, he infamously wasn't very "slick" in the romance department at least in what it portrayed on the show as being last to kiss Jo Jo and all they made of that.  I think it would be a breath of fresh air for Wells to be the lead for so many reasons: most notably, he is IMO, the funniest from the show and one of the funniest people I have ever seen. I think he is a very long shot and don't think producers would go that route, but I would happily watch a season with Wells as the Bachelor.

ETA, also very good point made by Duke above about Wells' being on Paradise. That would have never been done in the history of the franchise. I know there is first for everything, but really unlikely.

Great post, moonchild. Yes, Chase, Robby, and Wells definitely run, but there has not been this very obvious presence/notable documentation of their running as it has been with Luke. He has had multiple snaps when he was running, and then as I mentioned before there was the paparazzi photo spread of his running a couple days ago that got social media booming.

And, thanks for your knowledge/reflection on the mile stats/percentages. I do not have a strong knowledge and background in running, but I had found those charts in my earlier posts. You were very eloquent in explaining those and the level of training and shape a person would have to maintain, especially at 32, to run a mile time in 6 minutes or under. 1%....wow! I wasn't able to explain all that as were.

I don't think anyone would be shocked unless they chose Kaitlyn Jenner or Reality Steve.

How fast can Chad run?

and if that happens y'all are on your own for SCs.  Well, at least from me... @Litta123 will have to speak for herself, but I'm thinking were probably on the same page here.

Just say no to  , RS or Kaitlyn Jenner.

Several of you have mentioned that MF has toyed with viewers with similar tweets before, I think someone said even last season.

But, have they been to this level....this many tweets and this many clues? Has he taken it to a whole new level or is this about the same as before?

Sorry for double post:

Has anyone seen pics or multiple tweets/reports that Sean and Luke had lunch together? I saw at least one tweet of a fan claiming she saw them, but that was all I saw. TIA

He toyed with viewers for the last Bachelorette and Bachelor. Last year he teased that there was a clue in a BiP episode for who the next Bachelor would be and just like this time the so-called clue (whatever it was ) probably could've applied to literally anyone on the show. This year he's giving a lot more "clues". In the end the Bachelor will turn out to be Luke like they always planned. JMO.

Production has even fooled the cast in contention for the next lead. They have sent crews out to do filming. They have involved the cast's family, allowing them to believe that that cast was set to be the next lead. They have obtained trainers for the cast.
So anyone can draw their own conclusions. It has been done for seasons. My first recollection was with letting viewers believe Chris Lambton was in contention for the lead when it was Brad.
TPTB are not the casts' friends. They simply are not.
