Re: The Bachelor 20 - Ben Higgins - Scaps - Discussion - *Sleuthing - Spoilers* #2

Logically, I think Lauren makes the most sense for Ben to pick. Based on most of the spoilers, I guess I reach the same conclusion. However, I cannot help but still be rooting for JoJo. My heart is overruling my head on this one. And hope springs eternal...

One thing Chris said about the finale is that Ben pulled a "3/4 Mesnick". That means that things might actually have happened out of the usual order you would expect. If he thought he was going to choose one (Lauren) and then changed his mind (to JoJo), that could change the sequence of events from the norm. Just saying... ;)

Normally, there are multiple cameras, the ones posted yesterday, just appear to all be from the same camera.  But it doesn't matter how many cameras, even though the numbers would be different.  The F2's numbers would still come before the F1's, since they are are generally taken in chronological order.  Unless for some reason the F1 appeared before the F2, I would expect for the F1's to always be the later numbered photos.

JMO.

I had a post in process but saw Ladybug82's post on the same subject and since I totally agree with what she said, see no point in saying the same thing again.

I repeat: "3/4 Mesnick"

Sorry!  Didn't mean to steal your post/reply!

The Mesnick is referring to Ben having an emotional, crying meltdown at some point, like when Jason about threw himself sobbing over the balcony railing after letting Molly go.  Not a switch.  CH clarified recently that was what he meant by Mesnick.

Ben's been emotional letting most of the girls go, so it will be even harder and he'll be even more emotional when he let's Jojo go, IMO.

Did they show Andy Baldwin telling both he loved them?

In an interview, Chris Harrison described a Mesnick as a 'hanging over the balcony outright cry'. He does not describe it as a switch. He means that Ben is going to be visibly upset and crying in the finale... Though maybe not quite to the extent of Mesnick, thus the 3/4ths.

I figured he would be crying since he's been crying for most of the ones he has let go.

Yesssss

Okay, okayyy... I have not been following all the little details and apologize for coming in at the last minute with already disproven theories. (seriously, am not being sarcastic.) But wouldn't it be a fun surprise and shock if the majority opinion is wrong?!

iA something just doesn't sit right with the spoilers. Isn't it possible they could manipulate what we're seeing and hearing to make us believe one storyline when actually something else happens? Why are they making the spoilers so obvious if true? Maybe I'm just hoping for "shock the world" finale.

ITA.  Making things too obvious is not TPTB's MO.  That is why I am staying on the fence.  I will not be surprised if either JoJo or Lauren are the F1.  In spite of all the articles, spoilers etc..... I see plenty of signs it could go either way.

Lauren seems to be the type of girl that Ben has said he is attracted to. Hi celebrity crush is Jennifer Aniston . I would think Lauren is more in that catagory then JoJo. jmo

Your answer was so great and mine was what you'd expect from a techie geek. The only thing I would add is that with today's technology IMO we're more likely to see only one camera used - as was the case with this season's FRC images.

In the past a photographer would have multiple cameras with different fixed focal length lenses and he'd grab the one he wanted to compose the shot he wanted to take. But today, zoom lenses are so much better than they used to be that there's really no need to have multiple camera bodies with different lenses - just shoot with one camera and a zoom lens.

In addition, in the past you could only shoot 36 images on a roll of film and then you'd have to hand the camera to a loader to change film rolls. To keep from missing a great shot you'd grab the other camera. But today, a single high capacity storage card can hold thousands of images without stopping so no need for a loader or extra cameras - just shoot with one.
