Bachelorette 14 - Becca Kufrin - General Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

Loulou wrote:Personally I’m finding this one of the most frustrating seasons as I’m always questioning if Becca is genuine or part of a script.  I don’t find her decision making corresponding with what she is saying and her body language. IMO she chose Garret Night one for what ever reason and Blake F2 and was determined to continue this to the end. IMO her attraction to Colton is about her type not him personally. I never understood how Colton got his 1-1 and wonder if competitive Becca had something to do with it or tptb? Her journey with Jason is a mystery - no first week date, forgets his name, tells him she has a crush on him and he make her nervous in a good way, finally has 1-1 where she admits is falling for him and IMO she is either a very good actor or this was true, then is given the 3-1 date. Personally I felt she appeared more giddy/jubilant/believable speaking about her feelings for Jason than Blake. I find it hard to believe she is intellectually attracted to Colton though I do think he is a great guy but immature. Her continued adoration of garret is annoying and IMO frustrating but also maybe the editing. I feel extreme sympathy for Blake as IMO she happy he is in love with her and is good for her self esteem. I like Becca and think she is a great person but not for this franchise. IMO Tptb filming her break up with Arie was the beginning of their manipulation of Becca and they continue to do this and are now involving Blake and to a lesser extent Colton.  I hope she is happy however I’m extremely sceptical.  I realise tptb edit each season with a script and have utilised peoples weaknesses to increase the drama. But IMO Becca had some amazing men but we only got to see the drama queens. I feel cheated that Becca didn’t explore more her feeling outside of Garrett and her ‘type’.   A reassuring post filming moment was seeing Blake, Colton and Jason hanging out together and having each other’s back and looking forward to seeing Wills and co on bip. This is all imo and Hope I don’t upset anyone with my views.

Wish they could do away with...
1. Bachelorette picking the F1 on night one.
2. First impression rose going to the F1
3. Silly producer-driven drama  ( I know it drives ratings but it’s so obvious and overdone).
4. The pretend confusion at the end. She knows who she is going to pick for several weeks!
5. The social media clues.
In essence, I miss the good old days of sleuthing and mystery. jmo
