Bachelorette Canada - Season 1 - Jasmine Lorimer - Episode Discussion - *Sleuthing - Spoilers* #2

Kevin W could be f1 but he's getting a more negative edit than most male f1's in the U.S. imo. Shawn really just didn't like Nick who wasn't exactly Mr fan favorite that season while KW is shown badmouthing some of the nice guys (not counting the jealousy). I will say I see Kevin as more f1 than having a shot for TB.

I don't see as much chemistry with Mike either but he's getting a good edit and Sharleen is quite high on him. Mikhel is getting a more well-rounded edit with the chemistry thrown in. I think I like him so much because he's more of a real guy rather than perfect on camera. Either could be getting the next lead edit imo.

ITA about Thomas vs Benoit. I still think she's a little creeped out by Benoit's aggressive kissing so no idea why she keeps him so long.  

ETA: Thanks for the chart, Auntie. I'm still not 100% sure that they'll really have 5 HTDs even so because it's just not fair for the families and Jasmine seems more sensible than that but whatever.

Mike and Mikhel have both been shown as strong contenders for Jasmine's heart. While Mike and Jasmine's relationship seems to have a bit of a slow burn...despite an initially strong connection, the relationship with Mikhel seems to have gotten more attention. Their chemistry is always highlighted, while the one with Mike is downplayed...despite the fact that it is clearly very strong. This leads me to think that Mike is more the hidden F1 and Mikhel will be the beloved dumpee and possible Canadian Bachelor [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.].

Yes [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], this is also very much part of why I lean towards Mike being F1 and Mikhel being the next Bachelor. It's interesting to see that on the aftershow there was even a segment about Mikhel being a frontrunner, and this past week the host said that if Mikhel isn't F1 he should be the next Bachelor.

In terms of the narrative, IMO it seems more likely that Kevin W will be F2 and Mike will be F1. I think that the jealousy itself from Kevin W will likely be forgiven by Jasmine, but the way that he speaks to her may highlight some fundamental differences in how they handle situations. I think her relationship with Kevin W will progress to the point that he is F2, but IMO in the finale we may see Jasmine begin to look at what she needs from a partner and how the different men do or don't fulfil those needs. Since Jasmine's primary motivation was a long-term love that could last forever, her final choice will reflect that and IMO some of her previous statements/post show interviews will really come into play. There's other clues about everything, but as we're hoping to get more from them I won't say too much. Regardless of her choice, Jasmine herself seems to be happy with the outcome which is good to see. All JMO.

The hair and that sort of sneer thing he does with his lips just don't work for me. Plus he seems to be more beefy than the other guys and I just don't go for that muscular gym type at all. I'd much prefer Mikhel or the other Kevin as the next Bachelor.

I think his back story lends to him being the next Bach.  That along with how I can see him being let go at F3 because of Mikhel's physical edit which in Bach Can and other franchises is usually the F2.
