Okay, I'm pretty sure this girl is a contestant

Bachelornationspoilers started following her a couple of hours ago, and she just posted an Instagram story of what looks like her watching downloaded Netflix on an iPad, on a plane. I have a screenshot of her story and a screenshot of her Instagram feed which I took while she was still public. Then not even 5 minutes after I viewed her story, she went on private. @GuardianAngel am I allowed to post the screenshots since I took them while she was public? 

She definitely seems like a typical contestant - blonde, very pretty (the prettiest girl so far IMO), 24, just graduated the University of Tennessee School of Radiography. I think she grew up in Tennessee as well. If she is a contestant, she's Peter's type to a T, IMO.

We are giving you an early look at the women who may be on #TheBachelor. Leave a for who would get your first impression rose and find out who the next Bachelor is tonight during #BachelorInParadise! https://t.co/0V5u516Fxj pic.twitter.com/rp1FOLplEw

Only 3 I don't have identified yet are:

Maurissa G.
Natasha P.
Alexis T.

I'm sure it won't be long before someone fills me in...

Wow, I don’t think there’s ever been a Vietnamese contestant before (someone cmiiw) and now there are two (Jasmine and Tammy)! Eunice is also Asian, too. I think this (3) is a record for Asian girls in a season if they all make the final cut

(SPOILER): So here are 30 of the 33 women I’ve confirmed for Peters season that were posted on the Bachelor Facebook. Just remember, no one’s working harder for you today than I am. No ones got names and IG accounts for this many of the women already. Not even close. pic.twitter.com/Z38iw12fA7

So who does RS think is the big front runner?
My initial thought, "Peter must find Asian girls attractive."

Two more. Only missing Marissa G from Atlanta now. And interesting story about Alexis Thind. She just became a pilot after her dad recently passed away: https://t.co/SJ5YvGO0Dr pic.twitter.com/74no93ACof

Not about any particular contestant but more about the process of casting, this article (which isn't really that new - it's from 2018) may be of interest:

https://www.theringer.com/tv/2018/7/9/17547650/bachelorette-casting-controversy

They make mention of several things about the process:

1 - Casting is outsourced (ie not done by the show or any of the show producers) to 3rd party companies.
2 - Background checks are often done "on the cheap" and mostly cover criminal activities but often miss obvious Social Media "problems".
3 - It's up to the show producers to do their own research into SM activities, past BF/GF or romantic relationships, and friends.
4 - And a stunner - "The investigator cited a recent example in which Charles Manson’s pen pal recently ran a background check of the infamous mass murderer that turned up no record of his crimes under a federal criminal court or a national criminal record search." So even things that SHOULD have been easy to uncover aren't that easy.

So the show is probably reaching out to sleuthers and spoilers - counting on their resources to find out things that more detailed background checks should have found out, and this may be one reason why the cast has been announced early this season.

I think the one he thinks is going to go far is Sarah Coffin.

And finally our last woman. Maurissa Gunn. Former Miss Teen Montana USA. Because of course. pic.twitter.com/e2LNrEovWv
