Bachelor Winter Games - General Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

FWIR, Kevin and Ashley followed each other first on IG post-filming. They've also been liking each other's posts and Kev follow Ash's sister and friends. They seemed to be together last week and beginning this week when Ashley was in Toronto so it's likely she was with Kevin. Even though she was in St Lucia for a few days she's back now again with Kevin at the game so they definitely have been spending time together. 

The spoiler was Ashley and Kevin won so it may be a couples thing given that winners choose to give date cards so it could be that's how it began between them. Plus Winter Games preview SCs I posted upthread Kevin was going in to kiss Ashley so I have to think it may be more than just friendship (despite some of Kevin's SM activity being kinda of suss imo).

I can see Ashley being into Kevin so I'm not sure it's just a showmance. Could be one is more into the other (Ashley is most well-known out of the women for the US team on Winter Games so Kevin would definitely become more well-known being with her). Or thinking stranger things have happened and it could be that they're really into each other and seeing where it goes....

I think Dean and Lesley are together this weekend. Both their IG stories they're in Laguna Beach and seem to be in driving together in his car

Lily's hanging with Jordan - having a garage sale no less (and yes they publish the full street address, because it's NZ and you can).  So... maybe something going on there?  Looks like she's loosened him up a bit, as is her way.

My black bars to avoid breaching forum rules; Lily has a potty mouth. ps She was also hanging with Zac yesterday (Lead who relegated her to F2).  I can't wait to see how the international audience reacts to her.  She's a gem, IMO.

@Katiebelle, @Karina, @callalily, will you be watching Winter Games?

I love Lily. I hope they don't stifle her with stupid editing. She is a unique gem in the Bachelor cesspool.

I see this as strictly a fling for Lesley and would be surprised if it went any further than a couple months.

I could see Lesley as being a part of Dean’s healing process. She understands, firsthand, the trauma of cancer given her own health and her mother’s battle. Essentially Dean was abandoned twice in childhood - his mom’s death and his dad’s inability to cope which led to him essentially checking out as a parent. Lesley seems to be a role model of positivity and moving forward so I could see reason for a special bond between her and Dean. She may have even been the encouragement he needed to finalize dispersing his mom’s ashes in Hawaii over Christmas; a form of closure.  Hard to know.

I get the feeling they’ve been planning for a future together IMO....Dean mentioned on his latest podcast (#13) he wanted to rebrand it and suggested “if” he had a girlfriend in 2/3 months she could be a co-host (10:27 mark)...  same podcast that he slipped up and said he was “single at the time” of going on BG (so not single now).  Hmmm!

Changing the name of the podcast would be a good first step in rebranding IMHO.

Yeah, idk what it is for Lesley but Dean letting it slip that he no longer considers himself single makes me think he's more serious about her than he was about Kristina or DLo.

I was wondering if Leslie and Dean are together why Becca would have posted a pic with him and teasing that in her podcast Tanya Rad and her producer go on why they think she and dean are soulmates. I don't know if she thought she was helping dean by throwing people off the scent. I didn't listen to the podcast so the message could be completely different but as universally loved as Leslie is, I think some fans are still going to insist that Becca and Dean should be together? Anyone listen to the podcast?

@Cjr0204 I think Becca cares about Becca so doubt she was worried about the way it might look if Dean and Leslie are together.

Lesley could be just who Dean needs to help him settle down and find some direction. I believe he connected with Kristina over their similar emotional abandonment so could definitely understand him connected to Lesley over cancer. Lesley travel blogs for a living so could definitely see him joining her & blogging about their travel experiences together.
