Perhaps perfection is not going to be the reason she gives him for eliminating him but rather his picky/selectiveness is.

Or the fact that he dated a girl for 3 years and when she brought up marriage it would cause an argument. Maybe Emily thinks he's gun-shy.

Thanks everyone for answering about Sean!

I wonder how the others will answer the date card. While I want to believe that's just how Jef answered, I wonder if they've all been coached on politely declining because she didn't want overnights. It would take some of the pressure off her. And yes, I know they go to spend some time in the suites because we have caps. Just curious how the guys will handle the cards and if Jef will be the only one shown declining out of respect for her/Ricki but she is shown telling the other guys they can't stay the night.

The other thing I noticed about Sean and Emily in the preview is how far apart they are sitting. They did not look like a couple of lovebirds.

So the only people missing were the parents, her daughter's potential grand-parents. Hope Em got a chance to at least speak with them.

I have a feeling if she chose him, they either talked to them on skype or went to visit them soon after the show wrapped. Columbia is only an hour to an hour and a half from Charlotte, a fairly easy drive.

I can assure you that TPTB do not take any chances of the lead and his/her F1 being seen together during the airing of the show. It would be highly unlikely that they would let them go visit his parents at this time. I know someone posted that Jef was in Houston and then Knoxvile and then on to Ashville, NC, but I would be shocked if TP even let him in NC as the F1. jmo With twitter & FB and other social media, it is too easy to follow their movements these days.

I agree, however, this season is so different. Not once in 23 seasons have the final 3 done any kind of conference calls prior to the ending and here was have not 1, but all three of them. So its safe to say, imo, all bets are off this season.

But, it also showed Emily lying on the bed by herself saying she not inviting anyone to the FS. What clothes was she wearing here? Anyone get caps of the preview?

ETA: okay just re-watched, it's the dress she wears with Jef at dinner. So they are either tricking us (no, never, not TPTB) or she really does not invite Jef to FS.

My own thoughts:
1) M stated early on she did not spend the night in the FS. I think this will be true. The cards will be read as we saw with 1F, but they will have been prompted by the Machine ahead of time how to work around this in an appropriate way, so that M's reputation is left intact and the guys do not stay over. That does not mean they can not spend SQT, but no overnight.
2) RE was deliberately left out. Deliberately why? So people will think he is the one the eliminated.
3) The Chris stuff was deliberately placed in there--I speculated why in an earlier post.

Yes thank you I saw that.

(correct me if i'm wrong) I'm getting two pieces of doubt shown via this preview
1. That Arie was not invited to the FS
2. Emily is doubting some rose decision

Could the foreshadowing be her thought to eliminate Arie at F3 (from Love_Me's original spoiler) and then changing her mind to eliminate Sean at F2, or does she do a complete switcheroo, choose Jef as F1 and then dump's him and chooses either Arie or Sean. Now I'm even more confused than I was before. Talk about fickle if so..... deadhorse

There's a term called "going rogue", JP and Ashley did it last season. There were a couple of times when they met up without the sanction of TPTB. If Emily and Jef did meet up the time he was visiting his parents or the weekend he was in Knoxville, it may have not been sanctioned by TPTB.

Here's what I think (someone can correct me lol)

I think Jef and Emily spent time in the FS after dinner on what JR and co sleuthed to be the varandah / balcony. There was some heavy making about going on. But he did not spend the night.
IMO she was lying on that bed afterwards looking (again IMO) a little bummed out which could be because Jef left.

Also I think she and Sean reached the FD and went for a dip in the pool where they too looked pretty darn comfy (looks like she was on his lap and they were kissing lol). I don't believe she allowed him to stay over.

Arie - we have dinner SCs and then passionate kissing in the streets. So he may or may not have reached the FD.

I think none of them actually spent the night.

I think this trickery is all being done to keep the mystery going and to sustain or improve the ratings. They finally had a little uptick in ratings last week and want to keep it going. If they're able to finish strong they can bump up their less than stellar season average.

The FS dates are watercooler conversation topics. If it was common knowledge that there really isn't any fantasy suite action, some people might not tune to see 2 hours of talking, hand holding and boo hooing.
