Me too. That is a no win situation. Eliminating Ben 2x vs Eliminating Ivan, who you spent the night with in favor of Ben who you sent home at hometowns. Eliminating Ben that way looks cruel, eliminating Ivan that way looks cold.  All IMO

That’s true and maybe why she’s crying so hard. If she doesn’t take Ben back she only has Zac and Ivan at the RC. Can she give them both roses then I wonder? This is becoming a logic puzzle.  

I know Bachelor Fantake on youtube stated that it is common just to have two people at a RC where there are just 2 roses to give. So not unheard of, it just may not have happened like this over the last few seasons.

Not really because Ben was F4, I don't get that she will take him back over Ivan IMO especially after their FSD. all speculation on my part.

@chasus71 I hope not as well as IMO that would be cruel but it would also be shocking...

@Topazgold Yes it would be shocking and surely the drama this franchise likes. I do know that there is still SC of Ivan in a suit and earlier in the Claire promo where he at least has a LCD (although shown crying saying "please don't do this to me"). So not sure when and where or if Ivan is eliminated before the FRC

@chasus71 you’ve put my thoughts into words and I wouldn’t put it past tptb and put Zac in a total tailspin

It would be quite the emotional toll because we already saw how emotional Zac gets. We also have him in a suit and tie crying so a lot must be going on instad of nervousness of the FRC. JMO

@chasus71 hopefully she sends Ben on his way and doesn’t keep him around for the RC.

The only thing that gives me pause is when Bennett pulled the exact same stunt, she kept him and brought him to the RC as she said she needs time to process her feelings and thoughts.

So, Brendan leaves, and she gives out three roses to Ben, Zac and Ivan. They all do MTP, Dad doesn’t like one of them. I forgot it’s usually someone the lead likes so maybe it’s Zac after all. She lets Ben go in the denim outfit during the day. Then, FRC with Zac and Ivan. That’s my best guess and it avoids all the other problems.

Yes that is true. Although I would like to believe that she would not have Ben in a RC because her feelings were more than they were for Bennett. It is like when she told Eazy that she did not want to eliminate him at a RC because she would not have been able to tell him what a nice guy he was. Plus remember she just eliminated Ben and talked to him right after. I just don't see her going that path again with Ben. I can see her talking with him after she does the RC with just the 2 guys and just lays it out for him as to why she just cant or wont let him stay. Just my speculation.

@gabriele It seems so tight in a 2 hour episode to have all of this:

Tayshia mtg with her dad about where things stand
3 MTPs
1 elimination (Ben)
2 LCDs
2 NL ring selections
FRC F2 elimination
FRC with F1
Catch-up with Tayshia and the F1

I think it might be elimination of Ivan at his LCD, which eliminates his NL and FRC segments, giving more time for the post FRC catch-up.

@chasus71 to all of this!

Isnt there also a discussion with Rachel and another ex-bachelorette too as well on either the Mon or Tue night episode? So basically you believe she cancels the F2 RC (because of Ben showing up & Brandon already gone), does the MTP with all 3 men and then after does the RC then to eliminate Ben so she can have her F2 for the LCDs and so forth? Yes that is a lot to cram in especially if she does another RC to finally eliminate BEN or she lets him go after her MTP with him? wow this has become even more clustered. JMO
