Bachelorette 16 - Tayshia Adams - F1-F4- *Sleuthing Spoilers*

He said. She said.

As per curiosity I went on RS but his site is an ads nightmare. So I didn’t stay long enough to read about a feud of an Instagram woman who is gaining popularity but is a gossip vs himself, God RS who is THE bachelor detective.

I couldn’t find his theory, so thank you for the recap.

@seton my issue is that edits are often used as an afterthought. Like for me the front runners are Zac and Brendan, and Zac is very hidden, therefore, for me F1. But you are right to say that they probably had less than a few hours of real meaningful conversation. Not enough to know someone. But chemistry and crush are in full speed. Sometimes the lead is attracted to the F1 all along. Sometimes both. People have difficulties to understand this but I have no doubt it is possible. Each individual brings something.

The proposal has always been a joke for me. Give a ring of commitment but not proposal. Some other countries understand the difference. Not the us, always dramatic.

For me, real life after the finale is always THE ultimate test. Cameras and crews for weeks with producers insinuating suggesting pressuring behind your neck and bam all of a sudden silence and no pressure.

Brendan may have had cold feet regarding the proposal but his feelings were real. So if she reciprocated, she could have play another PJ and went for him. Or she picked him and decided to go to Zac

Zac could also be her F1, she tried but NYC and LA.... long distance relationship? This is very hard and takes a level of communication both sides daily.

As I said, no horse. What I hope is a happy long term ending staring at the finale or after the finale.

Regardless, the finale will be interesting for once. I like that nothing is certain.

including "you are blushing", "you are glowing" (Zac replied 'love you cuz'), "she's looking at you the way I look at pizza", and lots of comments from south Jersey - may be former classmates or just coincidence.

He's from Haddonfield, NJ, I just drove through it on the way home. It's a beautiful little town.

mbl wrote:@Ash2214 Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought RS said last night that nothing has changed in terms of what he previously put out about Tayshia and Zac, which originally was reports that they weren’t together, they were together but things were shaky or that it will never work (those were the three things he had heard in his original article about the ending of Tayshia’s season.  He then said last night “If I had to guess, I’d guess they are not together.”  To me that’s different from what you originally wrote above that RS believes they are not together.  Am I remembering what he said last night incorrectly?   It came across to me last night that he doesn’t know and is leaving himself a huge amount of wiggle room so that regardless of the outcome he can say that he told us anything is possible.  All IMO

I just went and listened again. To quote RS, he said “if you were to ask me right now, I don’t, I don’t think that she’s with Zac. Now what that means for someone else in the final four, because we know Brendan’s story, I know for a fact Brendan left because you know his divorce was just a year ago, his reasoning was I thought I was ready, but now I’m not ready...”

I don’t see the difference between that quote and what I said. He believes she’s not with Zac and he’s not sure what that means for any of the other guys in the top four. In an additional post, I included that he also stated it’s possible she’s still with Zac and it’s rocky, etc. which is what he said in his post when he released the spoilers.  

I thought Brendan said 2 years ?

@veg_out  Yes, I missed that but I think you caught it right. 

@gurlbrit Just looked it up on Google maps - so picturesque. It looks like a great place to grow up - close enough to PHilly to take advantage of big city life but rural with lots of opportunities to get outside and play.

For whatever reason, I don't see Tayshia moving away from SoCal. It's where her family is from, and it's a great place for an influencer to make connections and get work.

So let's look at the SoCal guys. You've got Ben (Venice, CA,) Chasen (San Diego,) and Spencer (LaJolla, CA.) You might throw in Demar (Scottsdale, AZ) which is not hideously far away. Our traveling nurse, Noah (Tulsa, OK) might be willing to move there, and perhaps other men as well.

If I were her, I'd pick one of these men unless she's over the moon for another cast member. Was she over the moon? Time will tell.

mbl wrote:@HEA I think it’s mostly that he is not the favorite of people as opposed to him not being a valid choice. I think that some people find Brandon more physically attractive, he is a model so there may be some thing to that although beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  But Tayshia is very physically attracted to him.  I think that some probably question whether a social media influencer and an addiction specialist are a likely match.  One deals with life and death issues and the other is in the beauty/lifestyle space.  And I think some people wonder whether someone who drinks would work for Zac.  Zac would be unlike any F1 before him and on the surface their lives, careers, etc. seem very different. All IMO

PS I love Zac. It’s a terrific group of front runners but he’s really special.

Funny, but I have a really hard time distinguishing between Zac and Brandon. To me they could be brothers. That said, I don't particularly think either is that great looking. Don't get me wrong, they are attractive and I like both their personalities and I would probably also have both of them going far, but if I am just looking at them only from a physical point of view, I wouldn't be that attracted initially. The attraction would increase as I got to know both.

I can see that Brandon has a ton of selfies on his IG and that never endears me. Despite that, I can see that those staged photos make him look good, but that doesn't translate when I watch him on the show. In fact, if I saw his shots from the show and those staged modelling pics, I would think they were two different people.

NYC is also a great place to live. In fact, outside the weather, I think it is the best. Many contestants found great jobs as consultants or else on TV. Much better than LA IMO.

I believe Tayshia would move. I think she is confident and secure and would. Yes she loves her family but she doesn’t need to live nearby. Millions of people love their families and live far away from each other. It is not a must for everyone.

I recall old discussions about Trish who was a city girl and would never move to Colorado living with a firefighter...

I lived in NYC for eight years and hated it. So it's not for everyone. But OTOH if I had to move back there again for Dr. Joe...well, maybe.

Interestingly, I was talking with an  anaesthesiologist about why he chose his specialty, and he said he chose it because you can work anywhere. He said that other specialties are often tied to one specific location as you build your practice, but anaesthesiologists can pack up and move on a whim. So I wonder how Dr. Joe feels about L.A.?

This is one of the reasons why I think Jimmy Kimmel's prediction of Ben as F1 makes sense JMO

@Amethyst You've got it bad for Joe! He's a great contestant - nice enough looking, can carry a conversation, knows who he is and what he wants, has a great job. Doesn't need the show to advance an agenda. But I don't think there is chemistry between he and Tayshia. Perhaps he and Bennett are best bros now?
