Just pointing out for anyone not already aware, on the contestant threads, those marked with double asterisks ** in the title are people we've sleuthed before their full names and SM are released by TPTB or spoiled in the media.  

So of the nine known contestants, we got eight of them on our own. Good job everyone.

Good job team!

Sincerely, "that thing".



ETA:  

Excuse me, DM - I don't think any sleuthers here thought Abbie was F1 - the evidence for Chelsie was overwhelming.  If you're going to reference us in an article at least do your research!

'I know it's hard, but DO NOT LOOK AT THE BACHELOR FORUM!' Abbie advised.

'At best you'll waste time; at worst it will send you into a depression. It's easier said than done, but I regret how much time I spent on that thing.'  

Many Bachelor super-fans use these forums to spread rumours, share information and sleuth who the winner is using clues on social media.

While Abbie didn't clarify why she found these websites so upsetting, it's likely that she read a lot of posts that speculated she was the winner.

This would have no doubt been difficult for her, as she was rejected by astrophysicist Matt in the season finale

Also, go easy with that "superfan" accusation.  I wouldn't even call myself a regular fan.    Some seasons I barely watch the episodes other than to get screencaps and spot those sweet clues.
