Jason Tartick - Sleuthing Spoilers

Mini skirt or no, we should've known Jason was doomed when he was greeted with this lackluster feet-on-the-ground embrace...

There was a funny little Direct-Look-Into-Camera as Jason was delighted with his own joke...

I think we all knew it was unlikely Jason would end up the final guy standing here, so what was easily most compelling thing about this date was not the fact that Becca sent him home (early or otherwise), but rather the 4th wall-breaking deliberations that took place leading up to it.

What I found interesting about the following moment is something I missed on first watch: her producer suggests they sit in the shade. On first watch, I thought Becca frustratedly just began to walk away. This subtly changes to the situation as more tactical on the producer's part in my mind, as Becca was clearly clamming up with a camera in her face yet had less of an issue in what felt more like a natural conversation....

I don't mean to remotely make it sound like her producer is some schemer. Becca wasn't opening up, so her producer suggested they sit in the shade and, through the course of a more natural conversation, got her to open up (at least marginally more). For the most part, especially with the leads, it's a misconception to assume producers and production are evil manipulators. (It says something that, since her season, Becca and Caitlin have gone to Disneyland together.)

It's also worth noting that the whole scene ended up being pretty flattering for Becca—it showed her looking very tormented, saying things like, "I don't know if I can picture [our future]" and "I'm having the best time with him", all things suggesting that she hadn't known all along that Jason wouldn't end up the last guy standing.

In the evening, my favorite moment is after Becca's done the deed and she's escorted him to his car. You can see Jason replaying his entire "journey" in about 5 realtime seconds, and (rightfully) assessing it as "brutal"...

And in his car ride, he makes another trout pout (not with his hand this time, though)…

... making me wish he'd been more prominent earlier in the season so that we could've had a season-long #TroutPoutWatch. Missed opportunities.
