Blake Horstmann - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

IMO— not really for any of the not F1’s. I get that there might be emotional angst.  However, this is the show.  This is what happens. So it really should be an expectation that you will not be F1, regardless. It’s only a for sure thing when you get that last rose.

She knew what her decision was - knew how he felt about her, put him thru all the hoops then to be told you aren't the one.

Pretty gut wrenching stuff..

Good first post!

IA not the kind of pic a F2 would be posting, but Blake has been supportive in his SM just like some of the other's. Whether they are told to or not IMHO they should be doing whatever they can to advertise regardless of their position.

It is usually tough for the F2, and I believe that Blake is sincere - and quite a romantic so he throws his heart out there. If he is proved F2 then it is going to be tough to watch and all the more so since Becca is empathetic and is going to want him to feel ok, which often leads to a more dragged out emotional beating all round! I do wonder though if the very fact that they are kept in such a "bubble" during filming helps the rejected one to get over things a little faster when back in the "real world" and without too many memories of the every day date stuff that most relationships have. Becca was pretty devastated by Arie and yet the timeline to her having found her "soulmate" this season wasn't very long. So... all that to say, history shows that there is hope!

obviously it is Becca’s life and choice, blah blah blah but I’ve literally been cringing all season seeing her with Blake vs the F1. How the heck does she not pick Blake???!!!!! Obviously SM happenings involving the F1 didn’t help matters for me but even if that gaffe didn’t exist what I see with Becca/Blake is IMO on a completely different level than this other relationship.

Yes but we only get such a condensed, edited version of each relationship, with voiceovers that are snipped and pasted in wherever TPTB decide for maximum impact and a lead who is pretty much required to keep things going to the finale with at least 2 guys.  We aren't able to make an accurate judgment of where the lead's true and deepest feelings lie.

But but but She's told us (the camera) where her true and deepest feelings lie. And this was concerning Blake, not Garrett.  And apparently they have the same producer, so messages going back and forth, This is why we have these sunset scenes from another world!  

There is no way Becca and Blake (or any other contestant for that matter) have the same producer. Obviously the producers talk, but they definitely don't have the same producer.

I don’t think they have the same producer this year.
However, Blaker’s producer, Natalie, was Becca’s producer in Arie’s season.
This is being discussed in SM thread.

Now PaulHebertPhoto is following Blake since Blake tagged him in the photo. He seems to really love this "couple". Paul Hebert, we love love love your photos!!

I want Blake to be the Bachelor over Jason. But I’m starting to lose hope. Thoughts? I just think of the two, Blake will be the least dissapointing.

I'm a Becca & Garrett fan, but that hasn't stopped me from liking Blake too! I see him as a sensitive guy who truly wants to find love (& to be honest I don't see the same genuity with Jason). My only concern is that Jason seems clearly groomed & ready for the role... while Blake does not.

So with Jason they know exactly what they are getting, with Blake it would be more of a wildcard, emotional season (IMO).... but that's actually what I think I'd enjoy more. To each his own!

Yeah, I want the emotional, genuine season too. Blake would fall in love with 3.5 people, get super invested and manipulated. But dang it all, I’m guessing he’s legitimately there for the right reasons. He’s actually husband material for someone.

Jason is a wolf in sheeps clothing. So disappointed it’ll probably go to the con man.
