cupcakes wrote:Hi everyone, I have been a poster here for many years but I went into lurker mode. But Tayshia and Zac brought me out of lurkdom  I wanted to share a video I made of them. Hope you enjoy. I thought I would post it here for those who want to see most of their interactions in one video to analyze.

If this needs to be reposted elsewhere Mods, please let me know and I will repost it. Thank you and I love the sleuthing that you all have been doing! So fun to follow.

Oh wow Cupcakes, where in the heck have you been? I've thought of you from time to time and wondered. Good to see you back.

@Ruqibabe this!!! IMO Becca & Rachel know the ending as they get an advanced copy and their podcasts are pretaped and that is why they spoke disparagingly about Brendan & Ben last week. Saying Brendan was basically wasting Tay’s and the other men’s time and Ben is gunning or the lead as Bach next go around. JMO

IF she does not send him packing when he shows up at her doorstep and brings him back instead to tonight’s RC, I don’t think she’ll eliminate him like she did last week when Bennett pulled the exact same stunt. And yes, I think it’s a stunt and will annoyed AF.

All JMO

This is exactly why I dont understand how people are not seeing the stunt Ben and Brendan are pulling.. They are not ready for anything serious... I hope and pray Tayshia sends them home..

I think it’s mostly the producers that are pulling the stunts. IMO they will have him on the RC and end the episode with a cliffhanger. Then Tayshia will eliminate him again (because there is not enough time for 3x MTP and LCD).
I don’t think Ben is in love though. It’s just bubble love, fueled by persuasion from producers and his celebrity chef friend.

I didn’t listen, but isn’t that just Rachel reliving her conflict with Peter again?
What could Brendan have done? If everyone would self-eliminate when they start feeling doubts, there wouldn’t be much of a show.

I am incredibly happy that Rachel and Becca met with Tayshia before the final rose ceremony to help her.. I agree with Rachel that Ben and Brendan were doing just enough. I dont think they are Ready especially Ben.. He isnt emotionally ready for any relationship... Brendan is not for a 30yr old woman.. He is for a younger woman to grow with and not for a grown azz woman..

I honestly believe that the only one really in love with Tayshia is Zac... Ivan is getting there but not there either.. He told his mum that too.. Ben and Brendan are for the Gram... This is my opinion..

What did Brendan do?? He set a perfect exit strategy for himself...If she doesn't eliminate me after hinting my doubt, I might exit in the final week... Yes, he is a nice guy and I like him but he isnt for Tayshia... He ain't in love with Tayshia but in love with the idea of being a finalist... IMO

@blueblues Rachel & Becca both said at this stage everyone going on this show know that there is a HT date then leading to an overnight.  IF Brendan thought the process was moving too fast for him why did he not give that spot to a Riley or Blake that would have loved for Tay to meet their families.

Rachel was equating Ben to Peter as their words do not match their actions. They give just enough that you see them as a viable option. If the previews are correct, Ben is coming back now to tell Tay he’s in love hoping she will give him a second chance, whereas last week he could not give her any emotion, ie: love, anger...

@Ruqibabe All. Of. This!!!

IMO Tay will eventually pick Zac as her F1 but it’s gonna be a rocky, messy road to get there and put doubt in his mind but who can blame him. JMO

Of course Rachel equated Ben to Peter. She will never let that go.
Still, I agree that it is wrong of Ben to come back, even if he was manipulated to do it.

Brendan is another story. Back before hometowns, Tayshia eliminated those guys and kept Brendan, because she had stronger feelings for him. Only if he had already been certain that he wasn’t ready it would have been right to self-eliminate, and I don’t think he was.
People leaving on their own this late is hurtful for the lead and causes a lot of insecurities.

I believe Zac is F1, but Ivan is in love with Tayshia as well. She has stronger feelings for Zac though.

@blueblues I don't think Ivan is in love YET... he is falling but not there... He just told his mum on the last episode that he isnt in love with her that maybe after meeting her parents and Fantasy suite, he would get there... 

Side note: I hate reading comments that make Tayshia's pick about race.. I read comments on other SM platforms saying She picked Ivan as one of her final 3 for aesthetics and politically correctness... People are projecting their insecurities with this couple. I hope and pray they reduce their social media involvement for a few days after the finale... The negativity is insane..

If those same commenters have said in previous seasons that a white lead kept a white contestant in the final 3 for aesthetics and politically correctness then I will believe they aren’t racially biased.

Is this the suit Ivan wearing in this promo the same one in the lone picture we have seen of him walking on the patio in the other promos?

Well, I'm in the 1% minority who thinks Tayshia doesn't pick Zac and he's her F2.
Regardless of how it plays out in the end, this has been an enjoyable season to watch and she seems happy. That's good enough for me.
