Anyways, my prediction for F1 (based on little to nothing ) is the mystery girl who got the last HTD and Becca K for the next Bachelorette.

Stats over the last few years:

Nick - F1 Vanessa HTD filmed last
Ben - F1 Lauren HTD filmed last
Chris - F1 Whitney HTD filmed last
Juan P - F1 Nikki HTD filmed 2nd
Sean - F1 Catherine HTD filmed 2nd
Ben F - F1 Courtney HTD filmed last

Just to verify was this the order filmed in or shown?  as they sometimes show them in a different order than filmed.  I always thought the filmed order had more about how they worked across the country for HTDs vs who is F1.

As for the 4th hometown, it films next Wednesday, Nov 1st and I know the location of it. You’d think, “Well then how do you not know what girl it is?” It’s because the location doesn’t match any of the girls I had left in Italy and where they’re from. And I know every girl on the show from episode 2 on and where they’re from, so it’s weird this location doesn’t match up. They don’t live there, and as far as I know, their parents don’t live there either. There’s one girl that lives close to where they’re filming on Wednesday, but that’s not good enough for me to run with. Might be her, might not. So it could be a situation where they’re going to a relative’s house that doesn’t live where the girl is from, or maybe the parents aren’t involved, or they’re just filming at a neutral place, etc. I’m not 100% sure yet that’s why I’m not gonna try and guess. I’m pretty sure I’ll find out before next Wednesday who the 4th girl is though, so I’ll let you know as soon as I do. But those three girls and order of hometowns being filmed are definitely accurate.

Wow, that really sucks. I'm incredibly disappointed with Tia and Lauren B. 2.0 being in the F4. Definitely underwhelming. Speaking of which, wasn't Lauren B. 2.0 the chick that had that incredibly awkward 1-1? She's the last person that I expected to see. If Tia is anything like Raven, we're in for a LONG season.   We all called Becca from the get go (and depending upon who the fourth girl is), she'll probably make it all the way to the F2. I was so excited to potentially see Seinne, Chelsea, Bekah Martinez or even Marikh, but now there's nothing or no one to get psyched about. I mean, I'm still going to watch, but only as a neutral party/observer and not be as invested. I guess there's still a slim chance that the fourth girl could be a WOC, but I'm not going to get my hopes up. I guess after Nick and Rachel's seasons respectively, I just expected something different. And when I say different, obviously I'm referring to a more diverse F4. I was hoping that the franchise wouldn't go back to 'all white, all the time' again. It's like they're taking a step backwards, which is incredibly frustrating.

I get the disappointment with Tia based on knowing Raven, but why Becca and Lauren?  Is it their ages?  I don’t think age makes a difference if the connection is there.  Jason is nearly 9 years older than Molly.  She was 25 on the show.

I do wish Sienne had made it, but who know if she really had a connection with Arie.
