Until now, it’s been unclear as to how the double Bachelorette formula will work.

But in a new episode of So Dramatic! podcast, an unnamed source has spilled on the nitty gritty details of how Elly and Becky’s hopefuls were supposedly divided.

“They both get to know all the guys, then after the first week the guys have to decide which girl they’re most interest in pursuing,” host Megan Pustetto revealed.

“It’s not an even playing field. 13 guys go with Elly and only 7 guys go with Becky,” she claims.

A “contestant” also alleges some of the men’s choices were “strategic”.

“Some dudes played it smart and chose Becky just so they could stay on the show longer because they would have less competition.”

There’s at least one contestant each season accused of coming on the show for the wrong reason, that usually being wanting to elevate their profile or become a #influencer.

Judging from one of the first teasers for the show, Becky comes to blows with one man for similar reason before sending him home.
