Bachelor 23 - Potential Lead - Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

Those are the recent F3's because the last bach Arie was from another season, same for Nick. Prior to that most were not F3's.

I don't know why there aren't SM threads for Ben to keep track of IG. Maybe we didn't have a NO Discussion thread, seems odd to me. It's probably buried in the posts somewhere because sleuthers are on top of SM activity.

Aww, crap. After seeing Ben on his knees wearing a sombrero shouting "I am unlovable!" makes me think he's got it in the bag.

i thought the opposite! imo it looks like a big joke and he would be a big joke if he was the bach again - jmo

Oh, I hope you are right, @LeapofFaith!  I cannot tolerate another season of Benji.

@LeapofFaith I hope your right too because I thought the same as @Mommyof2, foreshadowing.

From your lips to God’s ears!!!   

If not Ben, I want Blake. I really, really don’t want Jason, but I think that’s who we are probably getting.  

I'm hoping for Peter, Blake, Ben, in that order! 

Bachelor gods hate me, so it's probably going to be Jason. He's campaigning so dang hard, it makes me think/hope he's worried and knows that they're talking to someone else who is a strong contender. 

IMO.

Yeah, I’ve come around and I agree with your order.

1. Peter. I live in Madison. I’m a lifer with this show. I freaking deserve this.  
2. Blake. I actually think he’d be super emotional, get really into the process, and his season could be super romantic.
3. Ben. I just think it would be interesting to see the dynamics of him doing it again.


But nah. We are going to get playa playa Jason.  It will be same ole, same ole, rince and repeat douche bag Bachelor. Whatevs.

I think Kevin W will be the BIP wildcard. Thought he had charisma on WG and BIP will bring him to a larger audience. He is different from other guys on the list and that could work in his favor. He will have been on 2 US shows so that dilutes the international romance argument. Being previously linked to Ashley I, who is hot in Bach news right now, could also benefit him.
Time will tell if he actually is in a relationship post-show.

Interesting. Except I kinda want Kevin W. for Kaitlyn now.

We’ve had two Canadian ettes, so why not a Canadian Bach? I don’t consider Canada super international. Seems much easier and more logistically possible to make a Canadian/American relationship work ... like I really don’t think that’s a huge deal.

See. I am over here begging to the Bachelor Gods we get anyone BUT Ben. Fake-st of fake. IMO

Jesse Palmer was Canadian.
 Logistically, Toronto is very close to the border so a pairing with someone from, say, NY, is a flight under 2 hours - closer than Rachel and Bryan initially were. A sticking point is 1 person relocating and navigating a work visa. That is circumvented if the woman works remotely. Kevin’s job doesn’t have that option.
