Thomas Jacobs - Bachelorette 17 - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

Smarmy bordering on creepy, imo.

Yes, and I don't find him in any way believable. I hate how he appears to lie, and then flashes a smile as if to convey friendly sincerity. I don't blame Hunter and the others for calling him out.

Everyone almost say Thomas is very handsome…. Not my type.
I think he came with agenda, for sure. But I also think he liked Katie.
He was not a guy’s guy in the pack so it was easy to blame what they all thought before coming. I agree that they thought he was a threat. Easy target to redirect Katie to Thomas instead of investigating each one of them.

I don’t see Thomas as a bad guy. I see a guy who is not very bright and open his mouth when he shouldn’t. Lot of ego mixed with naivety and stupidity. I believe his speech with Katie.

What Katie learned to humiliate him at rose ceremony? She could have let him go privately. She didn’t. Again… very childish and probably suggested by prods.

Meh.

I think that Thomas liked Katie, but that he let his competitive drive take over. IMO he saw it more as a game that he wanted to "win" or at least finish strong. I do like that he apologized at MTA, because sometimes that is the only way a cast member can move forward. Now he is all set for a possible redemption edit on Paradise. Hopefully he learned something and will take full advantage of his second chance.

I'm not sure of the redemption edit. Did they mention why he wasn't at the MTA in person? When I saw him doing the video thing, the first thing that popped to mind was he knows he was scr*wed on BIP as well and didn't want them all attacking him on the show or give them more ammunition.

Personally, I didn't find him all that bad. So he thought he might have a chance at being the Bachelor if he didn't win, so what? I bet that dream was in more than just his head. It all screamed hypocrisy and tptb set up to me.

People have matched Thomas zoom call to Becca's apt. There is a rumor that he didn't attend due to COVID-19 protocols.

Becca probably advised him how to handle issue so he wouldn't be so targeted with hate on Social Media.
