News piece from yesterday.  What do others think?

Unfortunately, IA, that they likely made her do it.  IMO, I would hope that's it and not that is campaigning for Blake on her own.  IMO, she should be classy and stay neutral with the "Any of he guys would be great and all deserve to find love.  I'm glad I'm not the one making the decision," type answer.  Because IMO it makes no sense why the reasons she gives in article reflect Jason and his personality and approach vs. Blake's. I could give lots of examples, but I won't go all into it and make this post even longer.  

What really doesn't make sense though is:  If you have such a special place in your heart for him, why did you send him home before Blake?  Why didn't you fall in love with him?  Why did you freak out so much when he talked about your future and it all made you so uncomfortable that you are having a panic attack in the streets talking to producers?  How does he get the edge on how "comfortable" he'll make ALL the girls feel....when all you ever said about Blake was how comfortable he made you feel, and how he put you at such ease and you could be yourself?  In what way did Jason in any way show that he was more "fun" and "exuberant" than Blake or that he would go "all in on every single date"?  So, did Blake not go all in when he smashed all of Arie's stuff with you? (and pretty crappy date he got that focused on her ex in the first place but he was a very exuberant partner)  Was Blake not all in by telling you he loved you before the other guys?  Was he not all in when he got your fave artist to perform for you in a private concert?  Was he not "all in and very positive and humorously taking it in stride when he went on a crappy date where he couldn't touch or kiss you after not seeing you in over a week? Was he not "all in" when he was honest that he was worried she had stronger connection with other guys?  Was he not "all in" to propose even though he was scared she wasn't going to pick him? Was he not "all in" when he once again got a crappy "bike riding and hang on the beach" date when Garrett got to go bobsledding, kayaking and swim with dolphins with her out in the ocean (something she ironically said/foreshadowed in a ITM when leaving either FS or the FD).  Was he not "all in" when he was vulnerable enough to show his real emotions and tears after she blindsided him and broke his heart (rather than putting on the tough guy front that can't show emotion or not be really genuinely in love with her therefore couldn't show real emotions).  I have seen some comments on the site about how OTT he was with excitement and being too deep in his feelings for her too quickly after knowing her a short time.  So, this article really disappoints me, and I am really disappointed in Becca bc IMO she at least owed Blake the decency in not "picking a side" especially after how classy he was on AFTR IMO and you could see on his face how he was sincerely happy that she was so happy.
