Bachelorette Canada - Season 1 - Jasmine Lorimer - F1-F2 - *Sleuthing - Spoilers*

Try this. Close the X's and any window's that open. You don't need to download anything, just get rid of the X's.Then press play.

Ok  - so I finally had a chance to look through the official Bachelorette CA instagram account and did anyone else notice there is way more Mikhel posts that Kevin. Three of the last 5 posts have been of Jasmine and Mikhel and only one of Kevin. And often in a group photo Mikhel is the focus. No sure what it means - Could mean he is F1 or it could be a misdirect!

All I know is that the Bachelorette Au posted a really obvious photo just before the finale where Lee was holding a heart up in the air, Matty was reaching up to it but not quite getting there and Jake was doing a half-hearted attempt to reach it. Lee was F1, Matty was F2 and Jake was F3.

What are your thoughts?

@Katiebelle - I lean towards it being a misdirect just because before Mike was eliminated, he got so much promotion on the Bachelorette CA social media channels. They would gif and instagram and post about pretty much every scene that Jasmine and Mike shared. Even in an episode where they didn't really speak the IG account shared a BTS photo of them together. In the end it was all for naught because he was the F3. I think Mikhel has got a reasonable amount of promo too (they have increased it since Mike left) but Kevin W has so little in contrast to the other two and he's in the F2. It just makes me suspicious

@Katiebelle

i shared the same sentiment with you....i think Mikhel is F1   . btw..i saw your post over my work on KW as the runner up. I wished you asked me earlier about the Bio Analysis.. . I did mess up between Mike and Mikhel as FIR/next lead and the F1. I stand corrected about the F1, while i stand by my opinion that KW is the F2. I have finished the Bio analysis of both Mikhel and KW and it can confirm Mikhel as the F1, with the same procedure that i used to depict Lee as the F1 as you have pointed out. Still working to drop it on this thread as you have asked.

They IMO have promoted Mike and Mikhel more than anyone else, and Mike was the F3, and they continue to promote Mikhel, how is it that Mikhel would be the F1 with the same level of promotion?

An example is the motorcyle pic, posted, deleted, reposted. Someone obviously has control over what's authorized to post and what's not.

Are they doing a reverse now and promoting Mikhel more because he is the F1? I don't think that's the case. I certainly could be wrong.

ITA @lightredemption & @GuardianAngel
It makes no sense to me how one set of analysis criteria that resulted in an F3 finish for Mike could suddenly be applied to conclude an F1 finish for Mikhel. Like if you use a mathematical formula & don't get the right answer, I don't see how applying the same formula again would suddenly generate a different result the second time - IMO if it doesn't work, it would make more sense to try something else instead. 

^all JMO, I could be wrong, time will tell ...

My theory is that the show is promoting Mikhel (and previously Mike) to support their weaker connection with Jasmine. Onscreen Kevin & Jasmine speak for themselves, but in order to make it seem like a closer race, SM is boosting the weaker (Mikhel) relationship. JMO

I agree to all of the above. Also if Mike does not work out as the next bachelor they need a beloved back up.

This makes sense to me as well  
& it seems to be working - we are discussing  
I can't wait for Nov. 22 when we will have the answer for sure 

Here is one thing for Mikhel
Jasmine wanting to be in India

Posting this picture and the comments, tells me he is justifying what he went through at that moment. I've never seen a F1 afraid to go for it. It's the opposite, they are afraid that they won't be the F1. The F1 doesn't feel like they should go home and give up IMHO.

mikhel_sickandFor those of you who are curious about just what it's like to go through this experience...read Kevin P's amazing blog.

II cant even to begin to explain what was going through my head after hometowns. I was definitely at a crossroads....go home or put everything on the line.
Tune in this Tuesday at 9pm @w_network for Part 1 of the finale

@GuardianAngel You could be right but on the other hand it could be casting doubt on the f1 (not thinking this is so but could be). I could see Mikhel being stressed out after the HTDs but if he's still that way after the FD then that could be more of a negative for him as f1, imo. I'm more inclined to think that they're highlighting this to pump him up for lead.
