Bachelorette 13 - Rachel Lindsay - SM Media - *Sleuthing Spoilers* Discussion - #9

I have never been a pro like this forum to find out dates and places via SM. I know the basic but to connect the dots is definitely not my forte. BL and SC are more my thing. For me a silence is not necessary a SHV and being in an airport is suspicious but also not necessary a SHV... but give me a snapchat anytime and I will become a believer!

@HEA yeah same here and I'm still pretty new anyways. However there so many pros here and great moderators that have done so great. Despite how hard TPTB are making it. I still would like definitive proof to who is F1. Like that TMZ that broke I was in shock and wanted to believe it then I clicked the link. All JMO.

I haven't been here long enough neither am I a regular viewer but I'm guessing if the pattern has been that most of these folks don't really post much on social media during a SHV then one has got to take that into account as well when it comes to the current season..right? At the same time , if the SM activity of these people is indeed something that quite a few folks are monitoring to figure stuff out then one would think going completely off the radar isn't something they should be doing. JMO.

Is there a way to know who is more liked with the cast between the F1 & F2? Usually the F2 is more liked and commented on SM during the show airing from other contestants, IMO. I don't follow all of the casts from this season so does anyone know how it's going so far?

IMO it is just a matter of personality. Some like SM and could not live without it. Some do not care and have a life. Contestants are no different except they came on the franchise to gain followers or boost their career. So I would say that for them SM is definitely important.

Now. if I take the F1 or F2 shoes....If I was F2, I am the second, therefore I lost and I would feel upset, sad, angry, want to bounce back, move on etc... I would go on SM to prove that I AM happy and well right after the FRC because my pride would push me to do that.... If I was F1, I would be over the moon happy, would like to share my happiness, would probably makes mistakes by over sharing little bits, play with SM, etc

So for me both would be on SM for different reasons but I would look more into the sarcasm or business oriented type of SM the guy will use. If I was F1 I would focus on family, if I was F2, I would focus on business.

Based on that. I think Bryan is F1 and Peter is F2.

Of course that is only my opinion here. nothing more.

@Cila51290 from what I've seen Bryan hangs out a lot with the guys from the show and comments more on SM, CMIIW. They both however seemed well liked by the cast. It would be interesting for s definitive list of who follows who.

@HEA I think this F1 and F2 is all over the place. Peter also heavily focuses on family. IMO

We don't get definitive proof prior to the FRC in all seasons.

In fact sleuths have worked very hard to put together the proof on a few of these cases when we did get it.


Yes SM silences etc. has been proven to an indicator but that is just one tool to form an educated guess. That together with SC proof and the lead actually all out spoiling their own season are more definitive.

However tptb have been extremely stingy with SCs since the days of Jakes season where Viennas legs were matched proving she was in the f2.
They also stopped showing us BTS clips of the lead post season ( Brad) whereby the kite on the fridge was matched.
Basically there is less to go by.
Also, not all leads are stupid to snapchat.

The other pieces of old sleuthing are still available for educated guesses. An old sleuth had said the only way to sleuth is to take away the rose coloured glasses and watch the show from that POV. You will see what is being presented more clearly.

Can't wait for more of this season to unfold.

All jmo.

@nd4reality is that probably the reason this season has few promos? Because they think it'll give it away?

Possible. Not just this season but past recent seasons also. There were many clues that SCs of the promos provided in past seasons and imo tptb have gone wise to it.

I'm actually glad we don't know the ending via RS. Yay.

Based on the season preview alone Bryan is everywhere. The kiss on the field of flowers, the kiss on the boat, professing he's here for her during their night portion date, & Rachel saying she's falling in love wearing that top she had on during the date with Bryan. I don't think TPTB are hiding anything if we just base everything on that season preview. JMO

At this moment, almost everything is pointing to Bryan IMO. If Bryan is first out of that limo and gets rejected, I will be completely shocked . I guess production could be extra careful this season and tell the final 2 to be misleadling on SM, but at the moment I'm going with Bryan as F1. JMO.

@Cila51290 exactly he's so in your face I can't see it being him, IMO.

@A1day1 there's still a lot that points to Peter IMO. Also Peter was first out.
