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

@mbl To this point, nothing’s pointed to a Brendan reunion. He was just commenting heart eyes under a girl’s pic just over a week ago. Brendan last posted Wednesday night & Tayshia’s only been maybe unaccounted for today. Just a few more days left before we know how it all ends. We just need to remind ourselves that whatever happens, everyone involved seems happy where they’re at.

Well if it makes you feel any better, I was told that Ben was not F3 (we saw him leave at F4 last episode so that information was correct) and that the other "B" (Brandon) was F3. So the final two are Zac and Ivan, and we'll be seeing a proposal by F1 very soon - IMO it happened in La Quinta at the end of filming. And IMO there was no big drama surrounding the FRC as RS seems to have been alluding to.

In spite of the unusual circumstances of Tayshia's portion, she got 4.5 weeks with her cast which isn't dramatically different than a normal season. Because this was done in one location there were no travel days in the filming schedule.
JMHO

@Lucas15 I know it’s not terribly different but an engagement after 4.5 weeks seems so rash to me.  I get that an engagement after 8 weeks is also rash (at least to me) but 4.5 weeks seems destined to end in failure.  I kind of hope that RS was right that they left the FRC not engaged, but got engaged more recently. All IMO.

@mbl 

To me, an engagement after 4.5 weeks seems quick if you are dating only one guy.  If there are one or more others involved, it's nuts.   I wonder if TPTB would ever consider modifying this practice?  I haven't seen the Bach Australia show but it sounds like they have more success with that practice.

@Lucas15 agreed

I remember when the Greek guy left Ashley H at F3. Producers made such a big deal about it when Ashley was never into him. The guy wanted to avoid the RC humiliation imo.

I don’t think Brendan did for the same reason per se. But my guts say he couldn’t pass the girlfriend boyfriend stage

Yes. Remove all the travel time and this is the same. In fact I would think even more intimate with everyone.

Not lately because, imo, their casting really sucks. Jmo

But the commitment ring is definitely more realistic. Imo

In a recent promo for the FSD dates, there is a picture frame with a picture of Taysia and Brendan in it from their first date. When do you think this gift was presented if Brendan leaves at the dinner portion of the FSD? I thought gifts were part of the LCD? Or was this gift already presented and I missed it?

This is my first time posting, not even sure I’m doing it right, but been lurking for many years. I am always impressed at the level of sleuthing and details put into the posts. I became invested in this season only when Tayshia started although never watched Coltons season. Was really only interested in Zac, I was very inspired by his backstory and really want him to be F1. Is there any chance that Brendan is the one who comes back? I know there are screen caps of Ben, but couldn’t Brendan come back after leaving F3 and show up the next night? It’s not like he left the property. In the press release i think it mentioned someone Tayshia can’t forget returns, is that really Ben? She seemed pretty sure about sending him packing, but maybe not so much with Brendan. I feel like I have read some summaries from podcasts, where I feel like they are setting the stage for the dating narrative, but with Brendan. I know SHV and screenshots don’t lie, but I guess I don’t trust the producers or RS spoilers and just waiting for the next shoe to drop. Anyway, really hoping it’s Zac in the end and we will know if a few days!

@darling86 you got me thinking... What if they are editing things to look like RS is right, only to surprise us with Zach and Taysha are in the love story at the end..

Just for fun:

Tayshia Adams' Most Astrologically Compatible 'Bachelorette' Contestant Is...

https://www.elitedaily.com/p/tayshia-adams-most-astrologically-compatible-bachelorette-contestant-is-51588697

Each season, some fans do elaborate a possible breakup with F1 and a switch with F2. Why not with F3.

Everything is possible because each season has different contestants and leads.

But IMHO it is often good wishes because some fans cannot accept their fan favorite doesn’t end with the lead... regardless if they are or not a good match couple and if ultimately we know the edited version of them (some happened to be real jerks and fame whores after show)... The end result just matter. IMO

All theories are valid. All opinions matter. But sleuthing is IMO another beast. So far few members of this board did an excellent job following their SM steps and everything point IMHO to

Brendan left at F3 during dinner time, no return
Ben comes back because he has remorse not saying he was in love, rejected again
Ivan is the default F2 IMO (based on body language vs Brendan)
Zac is F1 with or without a proposal

And as per other sleuthers on this board, I MO I believe they are still a couple. And as per tayshia, “happy and blessed”

Still nothing is 100% sure until the finale..

Okay guys, I’m not convinced we can count Ivan out as F1. I don’t know but I think it’s still possible. As for SHV sleuthing I do think it can be rather subjective and everyone here did ignore all the HA info I brought over from Reddit on Peter’s season and she was F1 for about 2 months and engaged.

There are some strange parallels in SM activity with Tayshia and Ivan. Maybe it’s all coincidence but it could be more. First, on Oct. 25 both Tayshia and Ivan posted on their IG accounts about being at vineyards local to their homes. Then, after neither Tayshia nor Ivan have tweeted much if at all about the show on Nov. 17 they both live tweeted the episode with many tweets. On Nov. 29 this thread tells me Tayshia posted an IG Story of a board game by a fireplace. On that same day Ivan both tweeted about Queen’s Gambit and posted on IG a pic of that huge chess board in Dallas. Lastly, on Dec. 4 Ivan went to Denver for a vacation and references “we”. From Dec. 4-6 Tayshia had her staycation. Obviously, this isn’t showing them in the same locations but it seems pretty unlikely their SM activity would be so in sync.

I do think posting latergrams is possible and trying to fool sleuthers as we completely saw HA do that especially at the end of the season. So, either Ivan is just playing and trying to generate interest or there is something to it. I don’t know which it is.

To top it off, I just now watched this video and Ivan said his favorite dates are game nights while drinking. He makes a point to mention it at :57 and it’s apropos of basically nothing. Haha. He’s either playing with us or dropping clues all over and no one is paying attention.
