Bachelorette 13 - Rachel Lindsay - SM Media - *Sleuthing Spoilers* Discussion - #2

Maybe @cmarci93's source was mistaken about there being 2 black guys + 1 white guy because he didn't get a good enough look at Iggy? I don't think there were 4 eliminated because that would bring it down to 11 and there's usually 12 contestants in episode 5.

IMO 4 were eliminated and here's why....Right after what would of been 3/4 the way through the group date, there was activity on Iggy's twitter. I was told cause it is because of twitter bot. I am VERY hesitant to believe that for a couple of reasons. 1, exactly when the activity happened, 2 because in Nick's season there were a few epi's back to back where someone was sent home from the group date. So far from what we can tell on SM, that hadn't happened yet and as we all know, this show thrives on the previous season activities especially when it comes to elims that happened in the previous season.

Now if it was true that Iggy was let go on the date as I suspect, and then 3 were eliminated at the rose ceremony as we now believe from that person's claims, then IMO our count is down to 11. The only other Bette season that had 30 guys was Jillian and in her season, she only had 10 guys left at the end of epi 4. Her elim numbers are: 1: 30>20, 2: 20>16, 3: 16>13, 4: 13>10, 5: 10>9, 6: 9>6, 7: 6>4(HTD), 8(Spain - 1st FD), 9: (Hawaii FD2); 10 finale

Iggy's twitter bot has been retweeting/favouriting tweets all throughout filming though. It didn't just start during the group date. And he and Jonathan accepted IG requests within an hour of each other, so IMO they were eliminated at the same time. Unless they were BOTH eliminated on the group date, which would mean 5 guys were sent home this episode. That seems like far too many for episode 4 IMO. 

And regarding eliminations during group dates, Fred was eliminated during the Ellen group date in episode 3. It's in the eliminated contestants thread. Mills' podcast where he said that Rachel told someone to get the f out was posted the morning of the episode 2 rose ceremony, so it was most likely recorded the night before. He found out about the 'get the f out' comment halfway through recording the podcast so that elimination must've happened during the group date that night. Even if it was recorded that morning and posted straight away, that elimination was still before the rose ceremony. That's two eliminations during group dates. And frankly, I don't see how Nick eliminating lots of girls on group dates means that Rachel will do the same.

@pvpr We do not know what her contract entails, so she could have been given the same privilege that Nick was given.  This time I will agree with Aunties_love she always keep the stats on point.  There was only 1 season in the past where the bachelorette had 35 guys it was Jillian's and yes at episode 4 she only had 10 left.

I think Jillian had 30 guys.  And Rachel started with 31 guys  (the most ever) based on what Mills stated on the podcast.

@mobyz 31? interesting!.

@reason Yes, Rachel started with 31 guys. And he stated that a lot of the guys were really into Rachel, which according to him was not always the case in previous seasons.

He might of been sent home during the group date but we arent for sure , but I just check and now Johnathan and iggy are following each on IG

@cmarci93 and @pvpr sleuthed Iggy and Jonathan are out because they accepted their IG request. Just making sure we give credit where it's due.

hmm maybe they aren't going to barbados yet or not taking a direct flight

Elam doesn't always post pics in real time or from where he actually is. I wouldn't be surprised if they were no where close to Kansas City. Lol
