Or Sogand out earlier if her SM activity wasn't a hoax. But her mum seemed pretty pumped in the Insta comments, so I'd say she's in for the long haul.

Sogand accepted my friend request on Insta (at the time I sluethed her out on here) and then she quickly blocked me when I posted here... the same happened with Brianna. This was before HTD i think and imo I don't think it was production messing with us. A little sluething into Sogand and her family suggests they welcome publicity  (fame) so I'm not suprised her mother is pumped.

Sogand's SM shenanigans is very head scratching, so unless Sports bet changes, an intruder comes in or its' another black haired contestant that comes in the beginning. There is still a possibility of a different F1, but based on the fact that F1 always get some Press pre, it's hard. However, If an intruder does end up winning, I feel once the showtime gets closer, the media will start to suggest that an intruder will win. also, how quickly did she block you? Also, didn't someone say that she accepted friend requests but didn't comment or interact with any of the girls during this time. She could've gotten someones phone if it was during hometowns or after when their separated and got a producers phone on one of her off days. We'll have to wait for more on sports bet and the other girls.

Also just noting that her Mum is active on SM and seems all up in Sogand's business IMO - wonder if Mum maybe logged in to her account and accepted some requests (boost her stats a bit - make her look more popular - you know how it is) but then it was noticed here, TPTB told her off and she blocked everyone she added.  

Just spitballing...

I think it'd be great if she were F1 because I like her from the preview and it would help the diversity aspect of the show but I I just don't see it between them, not even something that could grow into something meaningful in time.

Bachbee wrote:If I remember correctly she blocked me within a couple of hours from accepting my request, She hadn't posted anything recent but had followed some of the other girls. It was too similar with Brianna, who also accepted and then blocked... and Bri was definitely out because she was tagged and pictured at a friends party. It just all seemed to me like the girls were jumping on their socials after being eliminated and someone on production was watching this forum and asked them to be more careful

[mention]“I’m at a stage right now where I want to fall in love and share my life with someone,” she said. “However; it’s extremely hard to find someone that is genuine, has the qualities I’m looking for, is ready to settle and wants me for who I am. “I believe this show would allow me to get to know the Bachelor without any distractions from the outside world and ultimately make me fall on a deeper level for whom he really is and vise versa (hopefully).
“Also knowing how strict they are to pick the right girls, I can only imagine how strict they would have been with the Bachelor. This gives me faith to know that the Bachelor would possess many of the qualities the girls are looking for and most importantly, he is ready to find love.”[/mention] wrote:

I agree that Sogand reminds me of Elora, where they play up her "exotic" background and she is front and centre like Elora was. It does scream red herring to me. I'm surprised they haven't introduced Vakoo yet to toot their own diversity horn but I reckon Sogand goes further than Vakoo (like Elora did at F5 or was it F6) and it's still early days.

From the few women thus far, it appears there is a diverse casting this season. At least more than usual. I wonder if Matt had anything to do with that?

Definitely, His brother is married to an asian women, so I am sure he is open. He doesn't come off like he has a type, additionally since he has lived in Buenos Aires and Sweden and he's traveled around for his job so he must also be open to other cultures as well. In the promo, He seems extremely interested in other cultures. He's also said that he loves travelling. So, I am sure he was open to all the women that he met in terms of not being shut off based on his type or first impressions.

ETA: It is also mostly just the bachelor's decision, last few seasons they've gotten backlash for the white washing and lack of diversity. What I am saying is IMO the impression I've gotten from his is that he doesn't have a specific type.

Bobette wrote:@Bachbee Yes it has a whiff of "make the most of it while it lasts" doesn't it?  Also, I was just reminded of this article which says Kristen got the first kiss - since Sogand's date was before Kristen's that doesn't bode well for their chemistry IMO.

I'm back to thinking she can't be F1... but WHO CAN?!
