Rebecca (Becca) Kufrin - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

If he really did pick Becca just because her ex showed up and he wanted to "one-up" him, that's really gross. And I can't think of any other reason right now. It'll definitely be interesting to see how this mess all happens. IMO.

Perhaps it was more of combining a flight risk concern about Lauren with feeling pressure about Becca having given up her chance of happiness with her ex, after many years of waiting for him to decide that he wanted marriage. That sure would have been alot of pressure on a guy. And I fully believe that he had some feelings for Becca. I dont think he did Becca any favors, but the whole "ex coming back to propose" really really complicates it IMO. Gosh the producers really screwed all of these people over. I adore Becca, but I hope she screws them back over and says no to being the Bachelorette. She is terrific and will find her love without their manipulations.

How do you know she was waiting many years for her ex to decide to get married?

If asked, I doubt Becca will turn them down (for Bette) ... and I think she will be asked. Also bringing her ex just before the final choice ... means they had him scheduled at least 1 week prior (off days, travel) and had that storyline waiting (with all the details) long before ... so I don't think it had anything to do with "Lauren's risk", but it was always about triggering Arie (or even Becca, either way it would go)

I wonder how much they will show of her ex? He doesn't want to be on camera. Are they not showing him only to hide his identity in the previews? I wonder what her reaction will be? Have they had an ex do this before?

So many

Ex's - Ali - Frank's ex showed up. Justin Rego's ex Jessica called Ali claiming he had two g/f's back home.

JoJo - her ex sent flowers - She phoned him - the confo was aired - a rag mag conveniently makes it's way to the guys trashing JoJo reuniting with her ex

I'm sure there are many more. The ex script usually makes it way.

Well, last night just confirmed what I had been saying...I don't really see "it" between Arie and Becca. She ended up being F1 by default...in my evaluations and apparently for Arie.

This is a mess of a season. Yes, the switcheroo will no doubt pique viewer interest, but there is no saving this disaster for me. Apparently this year Peter wins after all. Not just that he comes out looking better than Arie after this flip flopping, boring season, but Arie apparently picks this seasons Peter...the push/pulling Lauren. The irony of it all.

I would say Lauren is nothing like Peter, far from being a Peter. If Peter had been the bachelor I can image what the season would have been like, even worse.

@Ladybug82 thanks, but after filming, and before the 4 wheeling there were no clues correct?

The 4th wheeling if that was her would have been the first time they got together after filming which was two weeks later. Followed by the backyard pics. IMO that's pretty much all the time they had together. I'm not sure that 1/12 was a SHV when three days later he was at Lauren's parents house. There had to be conversations about the split, arrangements being made for filming etc. I'm wondering if after the backyard pics is when everything came to light.

The FRC was Nov. 17, why would there have been a SHV before the first of December and/or their unsanctioned get together, since they got extra time together after the FRC?  With Thanksgiving and Arie promoting the show doubt there would have been time.  

And after seeing all the clothes she was showing off and packing for her Vegas trip, I seriously doubt there was not a SHV after.  Or at least what she thought was going to be a SHV.  

Would Arie seriously watch Dirty Dancing on his own?  or with a handler?

@Ladybug82 I'm not saying they should have gotten together before early December, I was just confirming there weren't any visits.

@GuardianAngel We don't have confirmation either way, IMO.  Could there have been?  Sure, why not.  But there could just as easily not been since they had both just returned and were getting back to work and the real world.

If there was I tend to think they were unsanctioned.  And it totally wouldn't surprise me if there were since we got two pics of them back to back in a matter of days. Because I do tend to believe its Becca in the pic because of sleuthing matching up jeans and shoes.  There normally aren't sanctioned ones before the timeframe of the 1st SHV with the backyard pics.
