Bachelorette 14 - Potential Lead - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

GuardianAngel wrote:Becca's recent follow, Jasmine Lorimer Bachelorette Canada.

It’s never gonna happen    but I would love to watch Jasmine again as Bette. Maybe they can do a switch and have an American as next BetteCA and Jaz as BetteUS - a free trade agreement of sorts.  True, she didn’t want to move to TO with her F1 but I think that had more to do with her not wanting to live in a large urban centre plus their compatibility post-show was not what they had hoped. Plus she has maintained her pre-show job even though she does shill - a large portion is tourism promotion and related to her work as a hairstylist but does include some fashion.
The American version has never had a lead like her. It would be great tv. What a surprise that would be.

Just to clarify, MF has asked this season who should be the Bachelorette. Here's his tweet:

Time to start looking for our next #TheBachelorette... Need your advice #BachelorNation !

(the date of it is interesting because it aligns with when Becca was likely broken up with)


Apprx 9 days later, MF tweeted about Tia. I think Tia was still the planned choice for the Bette at that time (I'm thinking TPTB would have had to spend some time convincing Becca to take the gig with Tia as their back-up as the season went on just in case Becca didn't take the gig)

I got Tia! https://t.co/Pe7fDDKaHt

After this time was when Tia started getting backlash on SM and even more so after Tia got the Bette audition on WTA and CH asking her all the "right questions" (given WTA was filmed Feb 13, I think Tia was still very much in the running and TPTB had not yet locked down Becca for the gig).

Since WTA aired Feb 25, I've seen a ton of SM comments saying they don't want Tia for Bette and given Arie dumped Becca, I think it was no-brainer for TPTB to get Becca to take the gig. I don't see anyone else getting the gig but Becca unless she turned it down (which, like JoJo, I don't see that happening and good for her).

I still think that the other girls (Tia, Seinne, Kendall, and Bekah M) will be on the ATFR and will be asked/announced to be on BIP just like Raven was last year.

AIR DATE: TUES 03/06/2018  “THE BACHELOR: AFTER THE FINAL ROSE” PT 2

Arie, Becca and Lauren all will be together in front of a studio audience with host Chris Harrison to discuss one of the most emotional, stunning endings to any Bachelor season.....  Special guests, including some of the provocative women from this season, Bekah M., Kendall, Seinne and Tia, will discuss Arie’s dilemma and his astonishing choices.

And in one last surprise, the identity of the new Bachelorette will be revealed!

From the press release, it makes me think the other women will be announced as being on BIP and then Becca as Bachelorette.

@AllAboutLove thanks for bringing MF’s first tweet.  I totally missed that.

@alwaystulips no worries at all this season keeping track of it all has been a whirl to say the least

Yes, it has!  I’m exhausted!

@alwaystulips the season definitely didn't go as I thought it would pre-season  but hope it will all turn out okay in the long-run. It usually does somehow, some way  
Hopefully the Bette season will have a few less dramatic turns and some nice eye candy to distract just in case 

As long as the bad boy is the F1, I'm good!

Bekah had a few things to say in this podcast. https://youtu.be/38apHRcAvmo?t=40m48s
Apparently she knows, and she says a name that is bleeped out. My take is that it is not herself and not Tia. She probably said Becca.

Thanks for posting this! IMO this proves to me that Becca K is the bachelorette .
1 its not Tia, because she doesn't want Tia. 2 its not kendall, because she said her and Kendall are touring clubs and pubs next month(when bachette would be taping) and 3 because the host asked her straight out and the host didn't seem surprised at her answer. - jmo

Yeah that's how I see it to. Good call on Kendall though, I missed that. That's pretty solid evidence.

When does ATFR tape?
