Bachelorette 14 - Becca Kufrin - Media SM - Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers* #4

I was thinking he would say something in his most recent column - something like "at this point it's pretty set in stone that she'll pick Garrett" like he did with Jojo and Andi, but he didn't. Maybe he's received conflicting information. Maybe that's even how he knows the order of the dates...

Perhaps things took a turn at hometowns, or Steve had incorrect information all along.

yeah..i wouldn't be surprised if it was Blake all along instead . The ATFR entrance and their first date might be really memorable for Becca, and that early connection probably kept intact and has grown throughout the season. Who knows he might just be her best friend (turned to lover)  along the journey

I have observed RS's  F1 spoilers for years now. I found that for Bach, he can nail it almost every season, while for Ette, his F1 spoilers often sucks when :
-there were curve balls along the way. eg. Brooks and Franks removed themselves on Des and Ali' season. (on Des's RS even pegged Zak instead of Drew in the F3, initially #SMH)
-there was a close race between F1 vs F2. eg. Rachel,between the FIR vs First Date> happening again this season IMO.

Anyway back to Blake. Maybe i am weird, but i can't shake the pic of them in towel on episode 7 BTS off camera. SCMIIW, to my little knowledge of BTS stuff, the towel pic appears as when the camera already stopped rolling, and they were about to say goodbye to get dolled up for the night portion of the date separately. It stood out to me bc GF seems to managed to snuggle in for the last kiss (with Blake still holding the water bottle )  . That is huge in my book considering MeAndi and JPG were sucking face on camera all the time only to play video game or something/snorring (?)  off camera in the FS . Also, its huge because, well, it wasn't like she had to say goodbye to him after the date was over....i mean, they would meet up again sometime later in the evening LOL. There goes to show that the intimacy and connection was already there on their second 1:1 date regardless the cameras IMO.

Also, Blake is basically Becca herself on TSG* season, as in the first date recipient. I am sure she can relate well to Blake's feeling and struggles as she has been in his shoes. I do get an impression that TSG has taken Becca's confident all along for granted. Given how TSG's season ended, i can imagine Becca doing the opposite by totally appreciating Blake's standing by her side throughout the journey.

Added to that them both IMO have high compatibility :both majored in communication, are in marketing world (?), seems into music, seem to share the same sense of humor, dog lovers, and very close to their families ..So..its not that hard for me to imagine Blake is her F1 and even if its him all along for that matter .

Interesting to note that TPTB switch things up this season regarding the F1. What a wasted famous 5-7 epi dates on Colton IMO . The last time i checked, the epi 5-7 dates trend began on Em season by 1F, breaking the 3-7 dates trend before him. Plus, he was also not the typical F1 either IMO, judging by his puffy hair and juvenile entrance... . Super amusing to me to realize that both Emily and Becca are former F1s .So..maybe..we will get another puffy hair F1 with the cheesy horsey entrance who can triumph the first date curse this season. We'll see. TWT.

all JMO

It is very hard for me to follow some of these posts.  Just saying. 
It's probably a good time to bring this over: posting etiquette before the season starts and posting picks up momentum. 
Please be mindful of length, over use of emojis and repetitive posts. Members who can't follow posts, won't read them. 
Thanks.

That is what is in the back of my mind. It reminds me of many other first reaction of other leads when they meet their F1 out of the limo. The way she looked at him while he was talking to her, gave me the gut feeling she liked what she saw.

She was quick with mentioning Bradley Blake and Becca  after he introduced the horse to her and Blake was the last one on the ATFR. I will watch out to see how many times he is the last one to get a rose during the RC's.  

Who ever the F1 will be, I think it will compare to Andi's season where she IMHO did have a deep connection with her F2. Where as I don't think the same for JoJo and Rachel.

All the remaining guys, to me, look like good genuine guys.

you could be right on her reaction of the ATFR . Also, some posters noticed she appeared as a little emotional when Blake was saying " i wanna be the man who help you get back up again".

ITA on the bolded. And tbh i see it in Jason (as F2, i even posted about this on his thread:) ). He strikes me as a classic F2 guy who tend to be all in too deep (Nick 1.0 and 2.0, Mikhel  (CA) and Matty (AU) came to mind). Posted up thread as well that his dates line up resembled Nick 1.0 and Nick 2.0. IMO

I already can imagine his storyline as this "perfect, hubby material man" (but her heart with someone else..so, to speak). If he turns out to be the F2, i would prefer Becca to let him go before FRC though (wonder if she will have a say in this matter? ). It always really sucks to be the F2 , more so than others (F3/F4).  

All JMO.

Has anyone heard Ben & Ashley I's most recent podcast? They talk about Becca a little. Ben said he got a little inside scoop that so far what he heard about Becca is she is an incredible Bachelorette. Not for any other reason than she is very attentive, caring, loving, and beautiful. They hit a home run when they found Becca for the Bachelorette. He also got inside scoop that she's so tired but doesn't complain. Ben said he just met up and talked with someone who just recently got asked to go home. All they had to say was incredible things about Becca. That she was literally their dream girl but not in a weird I miss her kind of way just like man that girl is special. Which got me thinking maybe it was Colton he met up with. Colton recently just got sent home and he strikes me as the kind to talk to someone through social media to meet up (like he did with Tia). He is following Ben on Instagram. His Twitter says his location is Highlands Ranch, CO. Not sure if Colton lives in LA or Colorado but I know he has family in Colorado. So he could be staying with family after being eliminated and contacted Ben to meet up in Denver. Also why I think it could be Colton is Ben & him both posted to their Instagram stories a wedding for charity benefit concert in LA to go attend. Ben could of told him about it and to come attend.
At what time did Ben talk about him talking to someone who just got eliminated?
EDIT: I found it.

I agree that the guy Ben spoke to might have been Colton, but re. the bolded, Colton didn’t only know about/posted about the event because of Ben. Per his IG stories, Colton is friends with the groom, which makes sense because he (Colton) is deeply involved in Cystic Fibrosis charitable endeavours and the groom has CF/is of course deeply involved in advocating for the cause as well.

And what a small world that Dean is friends with the couple as well, especially the bride-to-be (I believe that’s how Ben and Brandi, who’s DJing the event, met the couple). They were on his most recent podcast ep.

This is getting OT but good for all of them for turning their wedding into a charity fundraising event

On the topic of Ben and Ashley’s podcast they said that they are going to have Becca on there podcast in 2 weeks so probably between the may 14-16. They said they will be talking to her for a full hour. I’m excited to hear what she will say about her season and if she’s happy and and doing well.
I do also think the guy Ben met up with was Colton because no other guy was recently eliminated besides him unless Ben is talking about someone from the top 6 but that RC wasn’t recent. As Ben said the guy was “recently” eliminated.

Wow! That is right after she completes her season...isn’t she under contract with ABC to restrict her media appearances to what they choose? It would be great but a lot of subjects would need to be avoided. JMO

The past few seasons RS has been 2 for 2. Andi-correct, Kaitlyn-wrong, JoJo-correct, Rachel-wrong, Becca-? He should get her f1 correct! Will be fun to keep sleuthing as always! Wonder if any of her f3 guys are big IG posters. They are private so not able to view.

ABC handles all of her press until the show is over, so this is probably organized by them - as was when Ashley visited filming and wrote the story about Becca's first 1on1 date.

I would have loved to compare this to other seasons, but we don't have that detailed info. I posted this in the NO Discussion Stat's thread for future.

GuardianAngel wrote:I know the order of filming for HTD IMO is based on location however putting this here to see how long between HTD and FD order.

She wouldn't have seen Jason since his HTD and after 3 other HTD's after him. Wait time 3 HTD's.

Garrett would have been the last person she was with on HTD's. Wait time - 1 FD

Blake would have to wait two HTD's after him, and two FD's. Wait time 2 HTD's 2 FD's.
