If not with anyone, could Tara have been on the show to get more exposure to maybe be the Bette per TPTB? One of the biggest drawbacks for female contestants is that from when they're on Bach Aussie until when they film Bette it's a year almost gone by so they're not as fresh in viewers' minds. BIP would definitely change that. Makes me think of Laurina as well. Maybe there's an incentive for that by going on BIP

And I imagine she would demand a refined selection of men - or at least a classy F1 - which would be a fantastic palate cleanser after Sophie's season.  Loved that Sophie was rough around the edges, but to go straight into Tara as Lead... I think that might be bogan overload and TBH I don't think she has it in her to be deceptive/lead people on in the way that Leads are required to do.  

Laurina on the other hand IMO would have NO trouble in that department.  Copying this to the Bette '18 thread - maybe it will put the idea in TPTB's head if nothing else.

And I’ve really got my fingers crossed that BIP will give us a returnee Bacherlorette from one of the ladies who gives good TV, but doesn’t find love, so not Keira obviously
