Bachelorette 16 - Clare Crawley & Tayshia Adams - General Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

Not saying it won't be Clare, but I'm not believing until they say her name on GMA.  It all just seems a little too weird.

RS seems very sure of himself with no hesitation so I figure he has some solid proof. For all we know, Clare may be the source herself.

I agree. I was reading over on IG this morning and Claire is getting alot of negative comments. Dosen't seem like the majority of Bachelor nation is happy with her. I wouldn't be surprised if they switched it up last minute and someone else shows up at GMA tomorrow morning. I still think there could be a major twist to this by the time the ATFR airs, something that no one sees coming. Not only do they want to prove RS wrong but I find it weird that they would announce the bachelorette (or the real bachelorette) this early. There's no reason why they couldn't wait until the WTA or ATFR to announce her. Something just feels off to me. JMO

If it isn’t Clare, why are some of the men being told that they aren’t going to be contestants because of their age?

Good point. (if they aren't tripping up RS )

Lol, aside from RS’ claims of men being told they are out, there was a poster on reddit who said their buddy was also told he wouldn’t make it on this season due to age. I’m thinking the reason they are announcing so early is to have more time to get older contestants on the show versus waiting til after the Finale to announce. Guess we’ll see tomorrow! Being the diehard fan that I am, I’m going to be watching no matter who the lead is. The lead could be Miss Piggy and you know I’m still going to watch to see her find her prince.

Peter allowed so much drama. Clare won't have it!

Ha! Ha! In Germany when you make a hot tub date....you keep it. It's in the constitution!

Clare is not much of an IG user posted Jan 13th then Feb 24th which was a motivational quote. She had an IG story up which I viewed yesterday or the day before, and postesd s/shots of it, and is now expired.

Tia continue's to post IG stories as recent as less than an hour ago, so I think she's out for sure.

There is still the chance to switch it up until the very last minute, but this reminds me of Arie's announcement.

There was a lot of negativity to his early announcement as well. Of course there were fans, but lots of people had no clue who he was and/or thought he was too old. Same with Clare. By announcing early, it gives people a chance to back out and fans of the show to get used to the pick. The fact that we are hearing that some younger contestants have been pulled due to age differences and that at least 4 have kids, makes me think that she is here to stay.

No doubt as soon at the announcement hits, CH will be coming out with the company line...we heard/listened to our audience, they wanted some older contestants, she is a fan favourite and we (production) love her and she deserves her happily after. (Except they will do everything in their power to mess with her and the guys and will make sure she is a blabbering mess by the end. Good luck Clare. You are going to need it!!!)

Recent follows. I know they weren't being followed the other day.

If it's true that it's Clare, then I am thrilled about that, and really excited for her.

There is unverified tea circulating (Facebook/Reddit) that a flight attendant spotted Clare and a show producer on a flight from LAX to New York.

I was really afraid that the show had taken a permanent turn to cast members in their early to mid-20s in search of younger viewers. I'm glad that there will be at least some older men on this season. IMO most men are not ready to marry until their late 20s anyway. This could end up giving us a really great Bachelor next time around.

It's time to place your bets #BachelorNation because #TheBachelorette will be revealed Monday on @GMA! #PeterWeber and the women from his season give their two cents on who the lucky lady should be. @BacheloretteABC pic.twitter.com/fvynyi49sx

After a season of babies on @bachelorabc it will be nice to see an older lead if the #rumors are true, and she’s a total smoke show Clare was the runner-up from #juanpablo season and a local from Sacramento! I’m hoping she will bring back the glory days of this franchise and can’t wait to see her finally find her person
